Synthesis of N-（α-Alkoxyalkyl）benzotriazoles Catalyzed by Acidic Ionic Liquid at Room Temperature

N-（α-Alkoxyalkyl）benzotriazoles were synthesized via the condensation of benzotriazole with various aldehydes and alcohols catalyzed by acidic ionic liquid [hmim]HSO4 at room temperature. The yield was up to 99%. This novel method was effective when triethoxymethane was utilized instead of alcohols. Moreover, acidic ionic liquid could be reused easily with no significant degradation of its catalytic activity.

为了研究从简单易得的原料在无催化剂的条件下一锅法合成N-甲基十氢吖啶-1,8-二酮化合物，我们以各类醛（脂肪醛、芳香醛、二醛）、达咪酮或1,3-环己二酮和甲胺为原料，以乙二醇或水为溶剂，经微波辐射，一步反应得到了一系列N-甲基十氢吖啶-1,8-二酮化合物。反应时间从传统热反应的4-5小时缩短至2-10分钟，产率较高（56-95%），并且不需要使用催化剂。该反应后处理方便，只需要简单洗涤，环境友好，为合成此类化合物提供了一种简便、有效的合成方法。该方法不仅适用于一元脂肪醛、芳香醛，还适用于芳香二醛，因此可以合成含有一个或两个十氢吖啶结构单元的杂环化合物。     

Facile Ionic Liquids-Promoted One-Pot Synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline Derivatives under Solvent Free Conditions

In recent years, much attention has been directed towards the syntheses of 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds due to the fact that 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds possess a variety of biological activities.[1] In view of the importance of polyhydroquinoline derivatives, many classical methods for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives were reported[2] by conventional heating and refluxing approaches in the presence of organic solvent. These methods, however, involve long reaction time, harsh reaction conditions, the use of a large quantity of organic solvent and unsatisfactory yields. Therefore,improvements in such syntheses have been sought continuously.     

A novel synthesis of α-hydroxy- and α,α′-dihydroxyketone from α-iodo and α,α′-diiodo ketone using photoirradiation

A novel reaction of α-iodo ketone (α-iodocycloalkanone, α-iodo-β-alkoxy ester, and α-iodoacyclicketone) with irradiation under a high-pressure mercury lamp gave the corresponding α-hydroxyketone in good yields. In the case of α,α′-diiodo ketone, α,α′-dihydroxyketone which little has been reported until now was obtained. This reaction affords a new, clean and convenient synthetic method for α-hydroxy- and α,α′-dihydroxyketone.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,7,7-Trimethyl- 4-（4-methoxyphenyl）-4,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline- 2,5（1H,3H）-diones under Microwave Irradiation

1 INTRODUCTION Various quinolone derivatives are known to dis- play interesting biological properties ranging from microbial activity to cytotoxicity[1]. They have been reported as antiviral (HIV-1)[2] and antitumor agents[3] as well as used as tubulin[4], topoisomerase[5] and thrombocyte inhibitors[6]. As a member of the quino- lone family, substituted N-phenyl-2-quinolones re-present the structural basis of many biologically active compounds, such as protein kinase inhibitors, immunodu…
