Phenacylsulfonylacetic acid methyl ester‐synthon for 1,2,3‐selena/thiadiazoles and 2H‐diazaphospholes

A new class of 1,2,3‐selena/thiadiazoles and 2H‐diazaphospholes were synthesized by exploiting α‐ketomethylene group in phenacylsulfonylacetic acid methyl ester.     

Regioselective cyclodehydration of ortho‐hydroxy acetyl aryloxyketones to benzofuran

ortho‐Hydroxy acetyl benzofuran derivatives have been synthesized in a regioselective cyclodehydration of aryloxyketones obtained from β‐resacetophenone and α‐halo ketones.     

A new site‐selective route for synthesis of functionalized imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazoles

Reactions of 4‐arylhydrazono‐2‐methylthio‐imidazolin‐5(1H)‐one 3 with various hydrazonoyl halides 1 proved to be site‐selective and yielded the respective imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazole derivatives 8 . The structure of the latter was elucidated by X‐ray analysis and the mechanism of the studied reactions was discussed.
