A number of 5-dichloromethylidene-4-sulfonyliminohydantoins were synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-3,3-dichloroacrylonitrile (ADAN) with aryl and alkyl isothiocyanates. These products are polyfunctional molecules that are considered as initial materials for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. The method of such derivatives multigram synthesis was optimized; also, the features of purification were described, and the main products of reaction mixture alcoholysis (acyclic carbamates) were identified for the first time. A number of modifications was carried out on the example of 5-dichloromethylidene-4-tosyliminohydantoin, namely: alkylation, hydrolysis of the amino group with subsequent arylation, substitution reaction with S-nucleophile, Suzuki – Miyaura coupling, and reduction of the dichloromethylidene fragment to the methyl group. The anticancer activity of 5-dichloromethylidene-4-tosyliminohydantoin was shown.

3-aryl-6-phenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines were obtained with good yields (81-95%) via the heterocyclization reaction of 1-phenyl-2-((5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)thio)ethane-1-ones in acetic acid. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds were established, the structures were confirmed by the data of IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, as well as the results of X-ray diffraction analysis. The cytotoxic, antibacterial and antifungal properties of these compounds were evaluated. In vitro screening results showed that compounds 8, 9 and 12 significantly inhibit (54-65%) the growth of HeLa, HBL-100 and CCRF-CEM cancer cell lines. It was found that the cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds increases in the series of oxadiazoltiones (1-4) - S-derivatives (5-8) - triazolothiadiazines (9-12). Compounds 5-16 do not exhibit antimicrobial properties.

Two heterocyclic Schiff bases namely (E)-2-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono)ethyl)pyridine (or 2-acetyl pyridine phenyl hydrazone) (2APPH) and (E)-2-(1-triazylidineethyl)pyridine (or 2-acetyl pyridine semicarbazone) (2APSC) were synthesized, characterized and their corrosion inhibition behaviour as well as mechanism of inhibition were investigated by different techniques. Structural characterization includes NMR, Mass, IR and UV-visible spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Corrosion inhibition behaviour of aforesaid compounds on mild steel in 1M hydrochloric acid was examined by electrochemical methods including potentiodynamic polarization analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic techniques. The mechanism of corrosion inhibition was explored and supplemented by adsorption and surface morphological studies. Quantum mechanical investigations on corrosion behaviour of compounds were also conducted and satisfying correlation was noticed between the results of corrosion measurement methods and quantum mechanical evaluations.

Obtained by the interaction of 2-amino-3,3-dichloroacrylonitrile and chlorosulphonyl isocyanate (Z)-(5-(dichloromethylene)-2-oxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)sulfamoyl chloride reacts easily with excess of the aliphatic amine to form new (Z)-N-(5-(dichloromethylene)-2-oxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)-N'-substituted sulfonamides. According to the National Cancer Institute (USA) examinations, two of the six synthesized sulfonamides showed a high anticancer activity.
