Synthesis of Bis(phosphonatomethyl)-, Bis(phosphinatomethyl)-, and Bis(phosphinoxidomethyl)amines,as Well as Related Ring Bis(phosphine) Platinum Complexes

The double Kabachnik–Fields condensation of primary amines with 2 equivalents of the other reagents (formaldehyde and a >P(O)H species, such as dialkyl phosphites, diphenylphosphine oxide, as well as the related dioxaphosphorine and oxaphosphorine derivatives) carried out under microwave conditions afforded the title products in 79–94% yields. The bis(phosphinoxidomethyl)amines were converted, after double deoxygenation, to the corresponding ring platinum complexes.

Synthesis of Some Novel Class of Bis(isoxazoline) and Bis(aziridine) Derivatives

Synthesis of some new bis(isoxazoline) derivatives has been described from terepthaldehyde derived bis(nitrones) using microwave irradiation via 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Bis(isoxazoline) derivatives in turn successfully converted into new bis(aziridine) derivatives via Baldwin rearrangement. Simple reaction methodology, non involvement of catalysts, and good to excellent yields are the important features noticed in this synthesis.     

First Synthesis of Bis(di(indolyl)aryl)methanes From Bis(salicylaldehydes)

In this article, a simple method for the synthesis of bis(di(indolyl)aryl)methanes is described. The iodine‐catalyzed (5 mol %) reaction of indoles with various bis(salicylaldehyde) derivatives affords the bis(di(indolyl)aryl)methanes in excellent yields. The reaction works well under mild reaction condition with shorter reaction time.
