Synthesis of Functionalized Dihydrofurocoumarin Derivatives from 3-Aminoalkyl-4-hydroxycoumarin

Some dihydrofuro-fused coumarin derivatives were synthesized from 3-aminoalkyl-4-hydroxycoumarin via in situ generation of N-ylide. The 3-aminoalkylated 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives were synthesized from one-pot, three-component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin, aryl aldehydes, and secondary amines in ethanol at room temperature. Again, when salicylaldehyde was employed instead of benzaldehyde, interestingly pyranocoumarins were obtained. The reaction protocol can be further explored toward the synthesis of many other heterocyclic fused dihydrofurans.     

Synthesis of Aromatic Aldehydes by a Fast Method Involving Kornblum's Reaction

Aromatic aldehydes were synthesized by oxidation of corresponding halides with dimethyl sulfoxide on potassium bicarbonate by microwave irradiation. Short reaction time and high yields were obtained.     

[emim]BF4‐Promoted Chloromethylation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

The chloromethylation of aromatic hydrocarbons proceeded efficiently using the reusable ionic liquid [emim]BF₄ as promoter. The reactions were completed in 5 h at 70°C with good yields and easy workup.     

Efficient Method for Synthesis of the Derivatives of 5‐Arylidene Barbituric Acid Catalyzed by Aminosulfonic Acid With Grinding

Aminosulfonic acid is an environmentally friendly catalyst. Grinding a mixture of aromatic aldehydes, barbituric acid, and H₂NSO₃H at room temperature (without any solvent) gave 5‐arylidene barbituric acid in high yields, providing a simple and efficient route to synthesis of these compounds.     

Novel,Simple, and Efficient Synthesis of 3-(2-(5-(Benzylideneamino)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4-yl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one Derivatives via a One-Pot,Four-Component Condensation Reaction

The synthesis of 3-(2-(5-(benzylideneamino)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4-yl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives was achieved through a one-pot, four-component reaction involving condensation of 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, thiosemicarbazide, phenacylcyanaide, and various aryl aldehydes in dry alcohol and few drops of acetic acid under reflux condition. This four-component reaction has some advantages such as ease of handling, good yields, and easy workup. All structures of newly prepared compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectral data.     

Facile Method for One-Step Synthesis of 2,4,5-Triarylimidazoles Under Catalyst-Free,Solvent-Free,and Microwave-Irradiation Conditions

A green and efficient method for the synthesis of 2,4,5-triarylimidazoles by one-step condensation reaction of benzil, aromatic aldehyde, and ammonium acetate under catalyst-free, solvent-free, and microwave-irradiation conditions is reported. This method had many dramatic advantages, such as the short reaction time (3–5 min), good yields (80–99%), environmental friendliness, and convenient operation.     

Reaction of Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines with Aliphatic Aldehydes: A Simple and Efficient Method for the Preparation of Novel C‐3 Vinylic Derivativesof Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines

A simple and efficient method for the preparation of novel C‐3 vinylic derivatives of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines has been developed by the reaction of imidazo [1,2‐a]pyridines with appropriate aliphatic aldehydes in acetic acid in a sealed tube.     

REGIOSELECTIVE NITRATION OF 1-ACYL-4-METHOXYINDOLINES LEADS TO EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF A PHOTOLABILE l-GLUTAMATE PRECURSOR

ABSTRACT

Different nitrating reagents give different ratios of 5- and 7-nitro isomers of the title indolines. The best ratio of the 7-nitro isomer was obtained with claycop–acetic anhydride, and these conditions were particularly useful for preparation of a photolabile l-glutamate derivative.     

Synthetic Approach to 4a-Methyltetrahydrofluorene-Type Diterpenoids via an Aromatic Oxidation of Phenol Derivatives

An intramolecular aromatic oxidation of a phenolic compound with a hypervalent iodine reagent afforded the coupling product, in which the coupling took place at the para-position of the methoxy goup of the starting material instead of the desired para-position of the isopropenyl group, unfortunately.      

Organic Reactions in Ionic Liquids: Ionic Liquid Promoted Knoevenagel Condensation of Aromatic Aldehydes with (2‐Thio)Barbituric Acid

Abstract

The Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with (2‐thio)barbituric acid proceeded efficiently in reusable ionic liquids, EAN, BmimBF₄, and BmimPF₆ at room temperature in the absence of any catalyst with high yields.
