Aluminium nitride catalyzed solvent-free synthesis of some novel biologically active α-aminophosphonates

A green and atom-efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of some novel α-aminophosphonates using micron-particulate AlN/Al as a new reusable heterogeneous catalyst by the Kabachnik–Fields reaction under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The synthesized α-aminophosphonates were screened for several biological activities. They all were investigated to exhibit moderate to promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties.     

HPLC–PDA identification and resolution of rufinamide forced degradation impurities: A congregated chemometric expedite optimization coupled with factorials and desirability

Rufinamide is used presently to treat Lenaux–Gastaut syndrome. A full factorial design and desirability approach was investigated for the optimization of hydrolytic stress via response surface curves (RSCs). The degradation impurities were identified and resolved using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on the Qualisil® BDS C₈ column. Acetonitrile–water (29:71, v/v) was optimized for the mobile phase and used at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with detection at a wavelength of 230 nm. Rufinamide showed appreciable susceptibility to hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline stress, and substantial degradation in the neutral condition. It degraded much less under oxidative stress. Exposure towards thermal and photolytic stress conditions indicated appreciable stability. The developed method was subjected to validation as per the recommendations of the International Conference on Harmonization. The proposed method showed no influence from the excipients and the degradation products. As well as good precision and accuracy in determination, the method showed a linear response between 2 and 12 μg ml⁻¹. The method was extended for determination in a human plasma sample, which resulted in excellent recovery without interference from matrix effects. The combined use of desirability and design for the optimization of acidic and alkaline hydrolytic stress led to simple and rapid analysis.     

Thick Domain Walls Coupled with Viscous Fluid and Electromagnetic Field in Lyra Geometry

In this paper, we have obtained plane symmetric cosmological models of thick domain walls with viscous field coupled with electromagnetic field in the framework of Lyra geometry, by using equation of state. Physical and geometrical implications of the models are also discussed in the presence of magnetic field.     

Distereoselective one-pot synthesis of pyrimidopyrimidines using sulfated tin oxide as a reusable catalyst： An extension of Biginelli-type reaction

The Biginelli-type compounds 4,5,8a-triarylhexahydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7（1H,3H）-diones were synthesized by a one-pot three-component reaction using sulfated tin oxide as a reusable catalyst. This method has the advantages of high yields, short reaction time, simple starting materials and reusability of catalyst for several times.     

Gold-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of alkynones with pyridine anhydrobases

4-Alkylpyridines functionalized with alkynyl amide substituents can be converted to pyridyl-substituted lactams via Au-catalyzed cyclization at the pyridine benzylic carbon. These transformations proceed through alkylidene dihydropyridine (anhydrobase) intermediates and demonstrate the ability to utilize these species in metal-catalyzed C–C bond forming reactions.     

Catalytic Sc(OTf)3 mediated direct asymmetric aldol reaction of (−)-menthyl isothiocyanatoacetate with aldehydes by using (−)-menthol as chiral auxiliary

This method involves the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of (−)-menthyl isothiocyanatoacetate 5 with a variety of substituted aromatic aldehydes, which offers a convenient method for the synthesis of intermediate containing biologically relevant α-amino β-hydroxyl groups in oxazolidine ring. In this methodology, the products show remarkable diastereoselectivity using Sc(OTf)₃ as a catalyst and easily accessible (−)-menthol as a chiral auxiliary. This approach includes some important aspects such as mild reaction conditions, high yields, and excellent diastereoselectivity with a number of substituted aromatic aldehydes. The optimization and effect of different catalysts were studied at different reaction conditions and it is found that Sc(OTf)₃ shows excellent diastereoselectivity at −45°C.
