3-Polyfluoroalkyl-6,6-dimethyl-7-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones were synthesized with high regioselectivity by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes (phenylacetylene, hex- 1-yne, hept-1-yne, and but-3-yn-1-ol) to 7-azido-6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones which were prepared by bromination of 6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol- 4(5H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride, followed by treatment of the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives with sodium azide.

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.

Three-component acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of 3,5-di-tret-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with urea and ethyl acetoacetate or α-nitroacetophenone (Biginelli reaction) under homogeneous conditions gave the corresponding 5-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones having in position 4 of the heteroring an aryl substituent with sterically shielded hydroxy group. The condensation catalyzed by inorganic salts (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Li⁺) was successful only with ethyl acetoacetate as initial methylene-active component.

Synthesis of 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides and 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides

The condensation of 3-hydroxyamino-3-methylbutan-2-one or 3-ethyl-3-hydroxyamino-pentan-2-one with aldehydes and ammonia afforded a series of new 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, whose oxidation gave rise to the corresponding 5-methyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxides. The latter, like 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, react with PrⁱONO in the presence of bases to form 4H-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides, which are transformed into 4H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides in the reaction with TsCl in the presence of Et₃N. The by-products produced in different steps of the synthesis were isolated and characterized. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Al-doped ZnO nanostructures were prepared via a simple precipitation method and were characterized by several techniques including XRD, TEM, EDX, UV–Vis, and DLS. All XRD patterns show the hexagonal single-phase structure of pure and Al-doped ZnO nanopowders without impurity. The samples consist of particles with average sizes ranging from 53 to 60 nm measured by DLS technique. Next, the catalytic activity of pure and Al-doped ZnO nanopowders was investigated in terms of synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5H)-one derivatives using the three-component reaction of aldehydes, aromatic amines, and acetylenic esters. This procedure has advantages such as high yields, simple methodology, and easy work-up.

l-Cysteine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (LCMNP) were introduced as an efficient and magnetically separable organocatalyst for the synthesis of 9-(1H-indol-3-yl) xanthen-4-(9H)-one derivatives. This class of compounds was synthesized via a one-pot three-component coupling reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, dimedone, and indole in the presence of catalytic amount of LCMNP under mild and green conditions. High yields, short reaction time, easy workup, using environmental friendly conditions, and magnetic reusable catalyst are the advantages of this synthetic methodology. The LCMNP catalyst was reusable in this reaction at least for 6 times without significant decreasing in its catalytic activity.
