A facile and convenient synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-b] isoxazoles and their Mannich bases as potential biodynamic agents

A series of novel imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 3 and their Mannich bases 4–6 were synthesized via convenient reactions. The reaction of 3-aminoisoxazole 1 with substituted phenacyl bromides 2 in dry ethanol afforded the corresponding 6-methyl-3-aryl imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 3 in good yields.Compounds 3 on treatment with 37% formaline and secondary amines furnished the corresponding novel Mannich bases viz., 6-methyl-3-aryl-2-(morpholine/pyrrolidin-1-yl/piperidin-1-yl)-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 4–6.     

An Unusual Ring‐Contraction/Rearrangement Sequence for Making Functionalized Di‐ and Triquinanes

A novel ring contraction/rearrangement sequence leading to functionalized 2,8‐oxymethano‐bridged di‐ and triquinane compounds is observed in the reaction of various substituted 1‐methyl‐4‐isopropenyl‐6‐oxabicylo[3.2.1]octan‐8‐ones with Lewis acids. The reaction is novel and is unprecedented for the synthesis of di‐ and triquinane frameworks.     

An efficient synthesis of medicinally important indole based triarylmethanes by using propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P®)

Abstract

We have developed an economical and efficient method for the synthesis of medicinally and synthetically important indole-based triarylmethanes by using indoles and benzhydrols in the presence of propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P^®). This methodology is an alternate approach for the C–C bond formation with good to excellent yields. In this T3P-mediated dehydration approach, the by-product is highly soluble in water, so that it can be done at larger scale also. In addition to that this efficient protocol has several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, short reaction time and operational simplicity. We have successfully synthesized pyrrole, imidazothiadiazole and imidazolo pyridine based triarylmethanes also.     

Simultaneous radiative and convective heat transfer in a variable porosity medium

 The flow of an incompressible grey fluid through a horizontal channel filled with a saturated medium of variable viscosity has been considered in this paper. Such flows in porous media have several applications in industrial processes. For the radiative effects a two flux model has been used in order to simplify the governing integro-differential equations for which closed-form solutions are not obtainable. The problem has been solved by employing a highly successful tri-diagonal, implicit, iterative, finite difference method. The effects of the pertinent parameters on the velocity and temperature distributions have been shown in several figures. Received on 6 December 1999     

Stereoselective synthesis of N-benzyl conduramine F-1, N-benzyl ent-conduramine E-1, dihydroconduramine F-1 and ent-dihydroconduramine E-1

A short and stereoselective synthesis of conduramine F-1 and ent-conduramine E-1 derivatives have been achieved starting from d-mannitol using nucleophilic vinylation on imine. A concise sequence of vinylation at both ends of d-mannitol and followed by RCM allowed us to prepare target compound.     

Studies towards the stereoselective total synthesis of Gliomasolide A

The first synthetic approach towards the Gliomasolide A is described in 15 linear steps with 4% overall yield. The key steps in this approach are RCM protocol for the construction of 14-member macrolide, a Sharpless kinetic resolution, Keck and Brown’s allylations for the installation of desired stereocenters.     

Recent Progress in the Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyran Derivatives by Sustainable Catalysts under Green Conditions

Pyrans are one of the most significant skeletons of oxygen-containing heterocyclic molecules, which exhibit a broad spectrum of medicinal applications and are constituents of diverse natural product analogues. Various biological applications of these pyran analogues contributed to the growth advances in these oxygen-containing molecules. Green one-pot methodologies for synthesising these heterocyclic molecules have received significant attention. This review focuses on the recent developments in synthesising pyran ring derivatives using reusable catalysts and emphasises the multicomponent reaction strategies using green protocols. The advantages of the catalysts in terms of yields, reaction conditions, and recyclability are discussed.     

Liquid-chromatographic separation and determination of process-related impurities, including a regio-specific isomer of celecoxib on reversed-phase C18 column dynamically coated with hexamethyldisilazane.

A simple and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid-chromatographic method for the separation and determination of process-related impurities of celecoxib (CXB) in bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals was developed. The separation of impurities viz., 4-methylacetophenone (I), 1-(4-methylphenyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-dione (II), 4-hydrazinobenzene sulfonamide (III) and a regio-specific isomer [3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-yl]-benzenesulfonamide (IV), was accomplished on an Inertsil ODS-3 column dynamically coated with 0.1% hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in acetonitrile:water (55:45 v/v) as a mobile phase and detection at 242 nm using PDA at ambient temperature. The chromatographic conditions were optimized by studying the effects of HMDS, an organic modifier, time of silanization and column temperature. The method was validated and found to be suitable not only for monitoring the synthetic reactions, but also to evaluate the quality of CXB.     

CuI/TBHP: A versatile reagent system for the synthesis of 5-iodomethyl-2-aryl-4,5-dihydrooxazoles from N-allylarylamides

Herein, a novel reagent system using CuI/TBHP is described for the facile conversion of easily accessible N-allylarylamides into 5-iodomethyl-2-aryl-4,5-dihydrooxazoles in moderate to good yields. In this communication we describe CuI as the iodine source for the first time towards the intramolecular iodooxygenation of N-allylarylamides.
