A new and efficient method for the synthesis of isoquinoline-3-carboxylate

An isoquinoline-3-carboxylate compound 3 was obtained with a moderate yield of 40% when N-acetyl-（3′-hydroxy-4′- methoxy-5′-methyl）phenylalanine methyl ester 1 was refluxed in HMTA/TFA. However, the anticipated product N-acetyl-（3′- hydroxy-4′-methoxy-5′-methyl-6′-formyl）phenylalanine methyl ester 2 could not be found. The possible mechanism was discussed in this article.     

A new method for the synthesis of aziridine derivatives

The photoinduced reaction ofN-trialkylstannyl-N-triorganylsilyl-substituted allylamines with perfluorocarbonyl iodides results in the formation of 1-triorganylsilyl-2-(,a-dihydroperfluoroalkyl)aziridines.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A green method for the synthesis of bis–indolylmethanes and 3, 3'-indolyloxindole derivatives using cellulose sulfuric acid under solvent-free conditions

<正>A highly efficient green protocol for the preparation of bis-indolylmethanes,bis-2-methylindolylmethanes,bis-1-methylindolylmethanes and 3,3'-diindolyloxindole derivatives from the reaction of indoles with various aldehydes and ketones in the presence of cellulose sulfuric acid under solvent-free conditions is reported.The significant features of this procedure are high yields of the products,mild reaction,solvent-free condition and non-toxicity of the catalyst.     

A new and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-(2-nitrophenyl)pyruvic acid derivatives and indoles based on the Reissert reaction

The formation of 3-(2-nitrophenyl)pyruvic acid and its amide and ester derivatives – key compounds for the Reissert indole synthesis – was achieved under various reaction conditions via the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 5-(2-nitrobenzyliden)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-4-one, which is readily available from 3-(2-nitrophenyl)oxirane-2-carboxamide. A new and highly efficient method for the synthesis of indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives via the intramolecular reductive cyclization of o-nitrophenylpyruvic acid and its amide and ester derivatives was developed using Na₂S₂O₄ in dioxane/water at reflux.
