Three-component synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols catalyzed by bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate

Bismuth(Ⅲ) nitrate pentahydrate catalyzed the three-component condensation ofβ-naphthol,aldehydes and amines/urea under solvent-free conditions to afford the corresponding amidoalkyl naphthols in excellent yields.     

The first organocatalytic addition of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran to carbonyl compounds: hydrogen-bond catalysis in γ-butenolides synthesis

This letter describes the first example of diastereoselective ‘organocatalyzed’ synthesis of the butenolide products substituted at the γ-position by a chain bearing hydroxyl groups. The urea-derivative 4 has proved to be an efficient catalyst for the addition of the commercial TMSOF to carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions. The reaction conditions and generality of the procedure have been examined.     

A novel, one-pot, solvent-, and catalyst-free synthesis of 2-aryl/alkyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones

A novel and one-pot synthesis of 2-aryl/alkyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones is described. The in situ prepared amidoximes from the reaction between nitriles and hydroxylamine are condensed with anthranilic acids under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions to produce the title compounds in excellent yields.     

Synthesis of five- and six-membered lactams via solvent-free microwave Ugi reaction

Five- and six-membered lactams were synthesized via a 4-center 3-component Ugi reaction by combining amines, isocyanides, and ketoacids under solvent-free microwave conditions. The reaction was carried out in much shorter times and the yields were improved in comparison to classical conditions.     

Catalyst- and solvent-free coupling of 2-methyl quinazolinones and 3-(trifluoroacetyl)coumarins: An environmentally benign access of quinazolinone derivatives

An environmentally benign highly atom-economic protocol for the construction of the CC bond has been developed under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions. This protocol involves the efficient coupling of 2-methyl quinazolinones with 3-(trifluoroacetyl)coumarins for the access of quinazolinone derivatives in excellent yields (up to 90 %). The crystal structure of compound 3di was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The biological activities, such as in vitro antifungal activity of the quinazolinone derivatives against Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora parasitica var nicotianae, and Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, were investigated. The bioassay results indicated that most of the target products exhibited promising fungicidal activities, and compound 3 cl exhibited 95 % fungicidal activity against R. solani, with an EC₅₀ value of 10.6 μg/mL.
