(1, R = substituents) in solution, undergo photochemical isomerization to produce 2-R-5-nitro-1,2-benzothiazole derivatives. Here, generalizations and limitations by the substituent, solvent, and excitationwavelength for the photoisomerization reaction of 5-nitro-1,2-benzisothiazoles are reported.
2-benzisothiazole (BIT)-benzothiazole (BT) was investigated. In particular, the effect of nitro-substitution on the benzene ring was selectively examined for the parent, 5-nitro-, and 7-nitro-derivatives. 3-Piperidino-BIT and nitro-3-piperidino-BIT isomerized irreversibly to the corresponding 2-piperidino-BT, and this reaction mechanism was investigated using density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent
The invention relates to 2,5-disubstituted benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives of Formula (I)
wherein L, X, Y, and ring (A) are as described in the description, their preparation and their use as pharmaceutically active compounds. Said compounds may be useful for the prevention or treatment of diseases or disorders associated with impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and/or for the prevention or treatment of various fibrotic diseases.
