Synthesis and characterization of a range of heterocyclic liquid crystalline materials incorporating the novel thiophene-pyrimidine moiety

In this structure/property study six 2-(4-alkyloxyphenyl)-5-thiophen-2-ylpyrimidines and thirty-six 2-(4-alkyloxyphenyl)-5-(5-alkylthiophen-2-yl) pyrimidines were synthesized to evaluate the effect of the introduction of heterocyclic rings on the liquid crystalline (LC) behaviour of mesogens. The 'bent' nature of the structure of the 2-(4-alkyloxyphenyl)-5-thiophen-2-yl-pyrimidines, due to the presence of the thiophene ring, was further exaggerated in the 2-(4-alkyloxyphenyl)-5-(5-alkylthiophen-2-yl) pyrimidines by the incorporation of an alkyl group at the 5-position in the thiophene ring. This simple change in structure led to a remarkable change in the LC behaviour of the mesogens. From a series of mesogens having high melting points and exhibiting monotropic nematic phases, the incorporation of the alkyl group gave a series of three-ring mesogens with relatively low melting points (60-80°C), and exhibiting a range of tilted smectic phases, including SmI, SmC and SmC alt phases.     

Facile synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds based on pyridine moiety with pharmaceutical activities

A novel run of fused heterocyclic derivatives containing pyridine moieties has been disclosed by allowing 2-amino-4-phenyl-6-(phenyl amino)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile 1 to undergo annulation reactions with different reagents.

Moreover, MOE 2014.09 software was used to run the computational studies to support the biological activity results. The assigned structures for all the newly prepared derivatives were ascertained on the basis of elemental analyses and spectral data.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of fused heterocycles incorporating trifluoromethyl moiety

4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-(thien-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione (1) reacts with 5-aminopyrazole, 1,2,4-aminotriazole and 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives, in the presence of triethylorthoformate under pressurized microwave irradiation to afford the corresponding trifluoromethyl derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles. Also, compound 1 couples readily with azole diazonium salts to give pyrazolo[5,1-c]triazine, benzimidazo[5,1-c]1,2,4-triazine, and triazolo[3,4-c]1,2,4-triazine derivatives incorporating trifluoromethyl group.     

An efficient synthesis of the protected carbohydrate moiety of Brasilicardin A

A synthesis of the protected carbohydrate moiety 2 of Brasilicardin A starting from l-rhamnose and d-glucosamine is described.

The imidate 2 was coupled via TMSOTf-mediated glycosidation with cholesterol as a model aglycone followed by the selective cleavage of all the acetate groups to give the Brasilicardin A analogue 16.

An overview on the copper-promoted synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic systems

The development of novel approaches for the preparation of small-sized heterocyclic products has remained an extremely attractive but challenging proposition. Copper has been known as one of the most applicable and significant transition metals utilized in the synthesis of organic products. A couple of factors such as high earth abundance and versatile catalysis resulted in the growth of copper-promoted synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic products. Utilizations such as making coins and electrical equipment express the importance of copper, as well. Here, a comprehensive overview of the copper-catalyzed synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic products is presented, focusing on the developments over the past 4 years.     

Thiourea dioxide promoted efficient organocatalytic one-pot synthesis of a library of novel heterocyclic compounds

The utility of thiourea dioxide as an efficient organocatalyst for the library synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds via one-pot multicomponent coupling reactions is disclosed. Thiourea dioxide is an inexpensive and readily accessible catalyst, resulting in better product yields as compared to the corresponding thiourea as catalyst. Thiourea dioxide is found to be insoluble in various organic solvents and therefore at the end of the reaction products can be separated by extraction with diethyl ether and the recovered catalyst can be used several times with consistent catalytic activity.

Some novel spiro-oxazinobarbiturate derivatives have been successfully synthesized in a one-pot, three-component cascade reaction from various azines (pyridine, isoquinoline, quinoline and phenanthridine), 1,3-dimethylalloxan, and several activated acetylenes (alkyl propiolates, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and butyne-2-one). The high bond forming efficiency (formation of new C-N, C-C, and C-O bonds) of this reaction makes it attractive for the synthesis of spiro-oxazinobarbiturates in a single operation.
