A series of 2‐(2‐nitrobenzyl)‐substituted β‐keto ester derivatives has been subjected to reductive cyclization under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. The reactions were found to be highly dependent on the catalyst and hydrogen pressure used. Hydrogenation over 5% palladium‐on‐carbon at 4 atmospheres pressure produced complex mixtures of products that included predominantly 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline and quinoline products; at 1 atmosphere pressure, the same reactions gave mixtures containing predominantly tetrahydroquinoline and 1,4‐dihydroquinoline derivatives. Hydrogenation using 5% platinum‐on‐carbon was much cleaner and afforded the desired cis‐ and trans‐(±)‐2‐alkyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylic esters, with the cis product predominating by ≥ 13:1. 相似文献
This communication expresses aromatisation of 1,4‐dihydropyridines to pyridine derivatives with the help of alumina supported benzimidazolium fluorochromate (BIFC) and quinolinium fluorochromate (QFC) as oxidants under solvent‐free microwave irradiation. Moderate to excellent yield (80‐98%) of pyridine derivatives were achieved by this methodology. 相似文献
1‐Alkyl‐5‐arylalkoxy‐6‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines were synthesized by the alkylation of 1‐alkyl‐5‐hydroxy‐6‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines with arylalkyl halide in the presence of potassium carbonate. 1‐Alkyl‐5‐hydroxy‐6‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines as key precursor prepared from o‐vaniline via 6 steps. 相似文献
Shape‐memory polymers (SMP) are versatile stimuli‐responsive materials that can switch, upon stimulation, from a temporary to a permanent shape. This advanced functionality makes SMP suitable and promising materials for diverse technological applications, including the fabrication of smart biomedical devices. In this paper, advances in the design of SMP are discussed, with emphasis on materials investigated for medical applications. Future directions necessary to bring SMP closer to their clinical application are also highlighted.
