Synthesis of some 3‐aryl‐1H‐isochromene‐1‐thiones

A rapid microwave‐accelerated thionation of some 3‐substitued isocoumarins to corresponding 1‐thio‐isocoumarins was achieved employing Lawesson's reagent under solventless conditions.     

Green chemistry approach to the synthesis of 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐6‐ferrocenyl‐pyridine derivatives by a one‐pot reaction in aqueous medium

A clean and facile green chemistry method for the synthesis of a series of 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐6‐ferrocenylpyridine derivatives was afforded. The products were synthesized via the one‐pot reaction of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate, acetylferrocene and ammonium acetate in aqueous medium under microwave irradiation and conventional heating conditions without catalyst. This method had several advantages such as higher yield, lower cost, reduced environmental impact, and convenient procedure.     

Synthesis of an 4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydropyridinomethylidene substituted 2‐indolinone

The (Z)‐3‐substituted 2‐indolinone 6 was prepared using the aldehydes 4 and 8 unknown up to now and 2‐indolinone.
