Synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines using ammonium acetate as green reagent in multi‐component reactions

Several new pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine derivatives were synthesized by one pot cyclocondensation of the components; 5‐amino‐3‐aryl‐1H‐phenylpyrazoles, p‐substituted benzoylacetonitriles and some aldehydes. The condensations were most effective by using ammonium acetate as the base catalyst; triethylamine was also studied as a catalyst.     

A general and versatile synthesis of 3‐phenylthio β‐lactams as lead molecules for 3‐methyl‐2‐azetidinones

Ketene‐imine cycloaddition using phosphorus oxychloride and benzenesulfonyl chloride under the described reaction conditions yielded trans 3‐phenylthio 2‐azetidinones in good yields. Desulfurization using Raney nickel and alkylation finally afforded trans 3‐methyl‐2‐azetidinones in a stereoselective manner.     

Simple microwave‐assisted ligand‐free suzuki cross‐coupling: Functionalization of halo‐pyrimidine moieties

An advantageous ligand‐free protocol for Suzuki couplings is described. The synthetic procedure entails microwave irradiation for the reduction of the reaction times and the use of silica cartridges for the purification. Dihalo‐pyrimidine structures, interesting scaffolds in medicinal chemistry, were chosen as test compounds.     

A green and efficient synthesis of furo[3,4‐e]pyrazolo[3,4‐b]‐pyridine derivatives in water under microwave irradiation without catalyst

A series of furo[3,4‐e]pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine analogues of podophylloxin were synthesized via three‐component reactions of aldehydes, 3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐amine and tetronic acid in water under microwave irradiation without catalyst. This efficient synthesis not only offers an economical and green synthetic strategy to this class of significant compounds but also enriches the investigations on microwave‐assisted synthesis in water.     

New route to pyrimido[4,5‐ e][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives

5‐Bromo‐2‐chloro‐4‐methyl‐6‐(1‐methylhydrazino)pyrimidine is readily obtained from the recently reported 5‐bromo‐2,4‐dichloro‐6‐methylpyrimidine by treatment with methylhydrazine in chloroform. Treatment of this compound with carbon disulfide and several alkyl halides gave an intermediate which was successfully converted to its corresponding 3‐(alkylsulfanyl)‐7‐chloro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives in basic acetonitrile. The latter compounds were reacted with secondary amines in boiling ethanol to afford the related 7‐amino derivatives.     

Synthesis of 2,4‐difuryl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazines via a furan ring migration reaction

A new simple synthetic approach to 2,4‐difuryl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazines from 2‐isothiocyanoaryldifuryl‐methanes in the presence of acidic catalyst is described. This rearrangement is a new example of furan ring migration reaction resulting from intramolecular attack with electrophilic carbon.     

Syntheses,electrochemical studies and crystal structures of new unsymmetrical tetrathiafulvalene carboxylate derivatives

A series of new unsymmetrical tetrathiafulvalene carboxylate derivatives ( 7‐11 ) were synthesized and characterized by NMR, MS, electrochemical studies and X‐ray crystal structural determination. Compound 8 showed obvious changes in redox peak potentials as the concentration of p‐toluenesulfonic acid changes.     

Studies with S‐alkylpyrimidine: New route for the synthesis derivatives of isoxazol,pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine,pyridazine, pyridine,thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine and thiophene of potential anti‐HIV
