Ionic liquid promoted synthesis of heterocycle-fused pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones utilising CO2

An efficient ionic liquid system was developed for the preparation of various heterocycle-fused pyrimidine-2, 4(1H,3H)-diones in moderate to excellent yields (52–95%). It was found that [HDBN⁺][TFE^?], a simple and easily prepared ionic liquid, could act as both the solvent and reaction promoter, and that the reactions could be efficiently carried out at atmospheric pressures of CO₂.     

A green synthesis of new 3-aryl-4-phenylsulfonyl-5-aminoisoxazoles

The present work describes a new protocol for the synthesis of 5-aminoisoxazoles using α-chlorooximes and 2-phenylsulfonyl acetonitrile via green chemistry routes. The titled 5-aminoisoxazoles 3 were further reacted with 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride to obtain 5-amidoisoxazoles with moderate yields. These heterocyclic compounds were tested in vitro MTT study to investigate inhibitive abilities to some cancer cell lines (C3a, L929, T98g and Mcf-7) and compounds 3a, 3c, 3e and 3h showed noticeable cytotoxic property against four cancer cell lines.     

5-Benzyl-1H-tetrazols from the reaction of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-tetrazoles with 1,2-dehydrobenzene

A series of 1-aryl-5-benzyl-1H-tetrazoles has been obtained during the reaction of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-tetrazoles with 1,2-dehydrobenzene. The mechanism of product formation was investigated.     

Selective synthesis of 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazoles in water at ambient temperature

A highly selective synthesis of 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazoles from the reaction of o-phenylenediamines and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of silica sulfuric acid is reported. The reactions were performed in ethanol or water and the catalyst could be reused for several runs.     

Short and efficient synthesis of 2H-pyrroles from 7-oxanorbornadiene derivatives

A microwave-assisted tandem [3+2] cycloaddition/retro-Diels-Alder reaction of azomethine ylides derived from imines of α-amino esters to dimethyl 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylate derivatives is described. The procedure delivers, in a short reaction time, pyrrolines in high yields. In a such sequence, the oxanorbornadiene derivatives behave as masked forms of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Subsequent oxidation of the synthesized 3-pyrrolines with DDQ affords 2H-pyrroles with yields in the 76-88% range. If this three-step sequence is run on the non-substituted 7-oxabicycloheptadienedicarboxylate, purification of the intermediate 3-pyrrolines is avoided to afford 2H-pyrroles in less than 2 h.     

Synthesis and properties of 5-ferrocenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbaldehydes

New ferrocene derivatives - ethyl esters of 1-aryl-5-ferrocenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids were synthesized. The corresponding aldehydes were obtained from acid esters in two steps. The reductive amination reaction of 5-ferrocenyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbaldehyde was studied. Several of these compounds were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. All of them exhibited a reversible one-electron oxidation-reduction wave owing to the ferrocene-ferricinium redox couple with a positive shift (0.51-0.69 V) compared with that of ferrocene (0.46 V). The X-ray crystal structure of the ethyl ether 1-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-ferrocenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid is also presented.     

Microwave promoted synthesis of functionalized 2-aminothiazoles

Microwave irradiation promotes the rapid one-pot synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles fromed via the condensation of α-bromoketones with thiourea.     

A practical multigram-scale method for the green synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles in deep eutectic solvent

A series of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles have been efficiently synthesized in moderate to excellent yields (68–90%) under mild reaction conditions by combining aryl aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride with sodium azide in the presence of catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)₂ in deep eutectic solvent (DES). The new synthetic method has many advantages, such as high conversion, green reaction medium, easy work-up, low cost, and environment friendly.     

Microwave and ultrasound promoted synthesis of substituted new arylhydrazono pyridinones

A variety of arylhydrazonopyridinones 6a,b were prepared via heating cyanoacetamide derivative with ethyl acetoacetate in the absence of solvent under reflux conventionally or ultrasound irradiation or in a microwave oven then coupling with heteroaromatic diazonium salts. Several attempts were made to synthesize corresponding aminothienopyridinones 7a,b from 6a,b. Also, attempts to add electron poor olefins to 6a,b have failed and only arylhydrazonopyridinones recovered.

Green and efficient one pot, three-component synthesis of novel 2-amino-6-(1,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazin)-2(1H)-yl-4-phenyl-4H-pyran-3,5-dicarbonitriles 6 has been developed by condensing 3-(1,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazin-(1H)-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile 3, benzaldehydes 4 and active methylene compounds 5 using l-proline as catalyst in EtOH at RT.
