Some molecular modifications were attempted to find antiviral active compounds in the class of triarylmethanes against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for antiviralactivity with HSV‐1 by a plaque reduction assay. Some of the compounds showed significant antiviralactivities. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2010).
A mild, efficient and metal-free method was described for the green synthesis of dipyrromethanes from aldehydes and unsubstituted pyrrole catalyzed by SO3H-functionalized ionicliquids (SO3H-ILs) in aqueousmedia at room temperature. Notably, SO3H-ILs, 1-butylsulfonic-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([bsmim][HSO4]) was the most efficient catalyst for moderate to good yields of the corresponding
