The present account surveys the results of the plethora of works on Nmethylation of nitrogen-containing substrates, mainly amines. The countless reports in the literature on this issue reveal the emergence of a set of methylating agents, which include: methanol, dimethyl carbonate, formaldehyde/formic acid, carbon dioxide/reductant, methyl iodide, dimethylsulfate, peroxides, dimethylsulfoxide, tetramethylammoniu Read More

Following numerous applications of Wittig reaction now functionalized phosphonium salts are gaining attention due to their characteristic properties and diverse reactivity. This review is focused on α-alkoxyalkyl triphenylphosphonium salts: an important class of functionalized phosphonium salts. Alkoxymethyltriphenylphosphonium salts are majorly employed in the carbon homologation of carbonyl compounds and preparation of Read More

The interest in organophosphorus compounds with a C-P bond is due to their wide use in various fields, especially in medicine and agrochemistry. Prominent examples of anti-cancer, antibacterial, and anti-HIV agents are therapeutic candidates containing a phosphonic acid group fragment. This review provides modern synthetic methods for obtaining phosphorylated aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with the particip Read More

An efficient and facile synthesis of substituted pyrimidine derivatives through Biginelli type reaction was achieved in high yields via one-pot reaction of aromatic aldehydes, active methylene compounds and urea or thiourea in the presence of choline chloride- urea mixture as a deep eutectic solvent or cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a catalyst at different conditions. The reaction was carried out using different ratio of Read More

A simple, straightforward and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-3-(arylimino)indolin-2-one derivatives and (E)-2-((4-methoxyphenyl)imino)- acenaphthylen-1(2H)-one. The synthesis of these biologically-significant scaffolds was achieved from the reactions of various substituted anilines and isatins or acenaphthaquinone, respectively, using commercially available, environmentally benign and n Read More
