ABSTRACT

A synthesis of two series of 3-substituted quinazolinones was performed utilizing a green chemistry approach, deep eutectic solvents and microwaves, namely. 2-Methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized in a two-step reaction, using choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). 3-Substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized in one-pot one-step reaction of anthranilic acid, amines and orthoester in a microwave reactor.

One-pot approach to access 2H-pyran-2-ones bearing an amino group via the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of (Z)-3-iodovinylic esters followed by intramolecular iodocyclization

A one‐pot sequence of Sonogashira coupling and iodocyclization afforded novel amino-containing trisubstituted 2H-pyran-2-ones in good yields. This transformation proceeds via 1) synthesis of an ynenoic ester intermediate by a Sonogashira coupling reaction with an N-substituted (Z)-3-iodovinylic ester; 2) intramolecular iodocyclization of the latter intermediate under mildly basic conditions. The flexibility of this strategy enables the efficient syntheses of a variety of substituted 2H-pyran-2-ones.

Substituted Butanolides and Butenolides: XVII. Substituted 3-(Furan-2-ylmethylidene)furan-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones and 3-(Furan-2-ylmethylidene)dihydrofuran-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

A number of furan-2-ylmethylidene-substituted lactones were synthesized by condensation of 5-alkylfuran-2(3H)-ones and 4-alkyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones with 5-substituted furan-2-carbaldehydes. The reactivity of furan-2(3H)-ones was higher than that of furan-2(5H)-ones due to formation of intermediate conjugated anion. The condensation of 4-alkyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones with furan-2-carbaldehydes required more severe conditions than the condensation with furan-2(3H)-ones. The substituent in the furan ring affects the reaction time and yield.
