Current Organic Synthesis - Volume 16, Issue 8, 2019

Over the last decades, several heterocyclic derivatives compounds have been synthesized or extracted from natural resources and have been tested for their pharmaceutical activities. Xanthene is one of these heterocyclic derivatives. These compounds consist of an oxygen-containing central heterocyclic structure with two more cyclic structures fused to the central cyclic compound. It has been shown that xanthane de Read More

Heterocyclic compounds are pervasive in many areas of life and one of the heterocycles, imidazole is a unique heterocyclic five-membered aromatic compound having two sp2 hybridized nitrogen atoms. Its integral name is 1, 3 diazole and previously, it was known as glyoxalin. This moiety has achieved a considerable place among scientists in recent years by reason of its divergent synthetic strategies and uncommo Read More

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have gained a continuously growing interest of synthetic organic chemists. The present review gives a brief account of applications of the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in comprehensive synthesis, viz., the Heck, Stille, Suzuki–Miyaura, Negishi, Sonogashira, Buchwald–Hartwig, Ullmann and the Oxidative, decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions, with particular emphasis Read More

Background: High efficiency in terms of reaction yield and purity has led to the extensive utilization of copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in various fields of chemistry. Its compatibility with low molecular weight alcohols promotes the application in surfactant synthesis to tackle the miscibility constraints of the reactants. Objective: For the tuning of surfactant properties, double click coupling of the antipode precu Read More

Aims and Objective: In the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, acrylonitrile derivatives are the most important and appropriate precursors. These compounds are the most important intermediates and subunits for the enhancement of molecules having pharmaceutical or biological interests. Nitrogen-containing compounds have received extensive consideration in the literature over the years. Materials and Methods: A facile, Read More

Background: Recently, there has been a lot of scientific interest in exploring the syntheses of oxygen and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds due to their pharmacological activities. In addition, benzisoxazoles play a very important role in organic synthesis as key intermediates. Objective: In this paper, we focused on developing a novel synthetic route for biologically active arylisoxazoles under normal conditions, Read More

Background: Sesamol is a widely used antioxidant for the food and pharmaceutical industries. The oxidation products of this compound may be accumulated in foods or ingested. Little is known about its effect on human health. Objective: It is of great interest to identify the oxidation products of sesamol that may be beneficial to humans. This study was undertaken to identify the oxidation products of sesamol and investigate th Read More

Background: In the field of coordination chemistry, the introduction of heterocyclic substituents into the structure of β-diketone enables ligand to produce multiple coordination sites. The adoption of small steric oxime group into the structure of heterocyclic β-diketone by Schiff-base condensation will further increase coordination sites and facilitate the generation of polynuclear structures. Objective: A series of β-diket Read More

Objective: An efficient and catalyst-free procedure for the synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo/benzimidazolo quinazolinones has been developed in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol or deep eutectic solvent(DESs) as a clean reaction media. Methods: All of the obtained products are known compounds and identified by IR, 1HNMR,13CNMR, and melting points. Result: Various products were obtained in good to excellent yields under reaction c Read More
