Synthesis of New Iminocoumarins Bearing Parabanic Moieties

The synthesis of novel substituted 3-p-nitro-phenyliminocoumarins and corresponding N-ureaiminocoumarins is described. The condensation of these materials with oxalyl chloride leads to the corresponding N-parabanic iminocoumarins, which have not previously been described, in moderate or good yields and high selectivity. The structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and elemental analysis.

Potassium Fluoride Promoted Reaction of 3-Acylsubsti-Tuted 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-Ones with Acid Anhydrides. An Improved Method for the Synthesis of 4-(2-Oxoalkyl)-2H-Chroman-2-Ones. Part III1

The reaction of 3-acylsubstituted 2H-1-benzo-pyran-2-ones 1, 5 and 11a-c with acid anhydrides in the presence of potassium fluoride (KF)/molecular sieves 4A gives the 4-(2-oxoalkyl)-2-oxochromans 2, 6 and 12a-c as the main products. Also the 3-carboxylic acid derivatives, such as esters and N,N-dialkylamides, of 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (11d-g) react with isobutyric acid anhydride in the presence of KF/molecular sieves 4A to give the corresponding 2-oxochroman-4-acetic acid derivatives.     

Scope and Applicability of an Expedient Synthesis Leading to Polysubstituted 3‐(Carboxyphenyl)pyrroles

A convenient three‐step route toward a functionalized pyrrole building block for novel anti‐inflammatory agents is reported. In contrast to previous strategies, the present approach focuses on inexpensive starting materials and application on a multigram scale. A high degree of functional diversity is demonstrated in various derivatives, and the scope and limitations of this route are discussed. Complementary to the described tetrasubstituted pyrroles, a novel ring‐closure protocol based on the Feist–Benary condensation affords trisubstituted analogues.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Chalcone Derivatives from cis-Bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one

A series of chalcone derivatives (3a–k) were prepared via the reaction of cis-bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one (1) with the respective arylaldehydes (2a–k) and were then characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and elemental analyses.     

A Mild and Efficient Route to 3-Vinylchromones in Aqueous Micellar Media

A simple, mild, and ecofriendly method has been developed for the synthesis of 3-vinylchromones from 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde (3-formylchromone) by simple Knoevenagel condensation with various active methylene compounds (AMC) in aqueous micellar media in the presence of catalytic amounts of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). In the case of malonic acid as AMC, the reaction resulted in formation of only Doebner decarboxylated products under the standard reaction condition. It has been also observed that 3-formylchromone derivatives primarily undergo tandem Knoevenagel and Michael reactions in the presence of > 2 equiv. of ethyl acetoacetate to produce benzophenone derivatives, by opening of pyran ring, as the sole product in good yields.     

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.     

Convenient synthesis of novel N-(5-allyl-7,7-difluoro)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazol-3-yl)-carboxymides

5-Allyl-7,7-difluoro-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-3-amine represents a fluorinated heterocyclic scaffold, potentially attractive. It was synthesized via Michael addition, Mannich reaction of the difluorinated ethyl bromoacetate with a benzotriazole derivative, followed by a Dieckmann condensation. Starting from simple materials, this efficient route which gives access to novel functionalized N-(5-allyl-7,7-dihalo)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazol-3-yl)-carboxymides, was explored and adapted for parallel synthesis, resulting in a compound library.

Direct α-alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols catalyzed by iridium–CNP complex

The α-alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols was realized by CC cross-coupling with iridium–CNP complexes as catalyst. This reaction proceeds via dehydrogenation reactions, aldol condensation, and hydrogenation using the borrowed hydrogen atoms from alcohols. The pyridyl methanols and other heterocyclic substituted methanols, especially alkyl alcohols, were also suitable for this transformation.     

Novel synthesis of benzo[b]carbazoles

A new method was adopted for the synthesis of benzo[b]carbazoles by Claisen condensation followed by Fischer indole cyclization. Newly synthesized benzo[b]carbazoles were treated with ethanol amine in the presence of polyphosphoric acid which leads to the formation of pyrazino carbazoles. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by all spectral means.
