Decarboxylative addition reactions are well known as an effective approach to C–C bonds formation due to the availability of starting reagents, ease of handling, and low environmental impact. This approach clearly demonstrated its potential for the synthesis of the variety of acyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including optically active ones. The significant amount of articles devoted to this topic published in recent year Read More

In the last decade, the use of heterogeneous catalysts based on Metal Nanoparticles (MNPs) has attracted increasing attention due to their prominence as nanocatalysts in several key chemical transformations. Notably, it is well identified that supporting Metal Nanoparticles (MNPs) with suitable solid surfaces can protect the MNPs from leaching, deactivation, and also increasing its ease of separation and possible reusabil Read More

C-N coupling reactions were found to be attractive among researchers owing to the importance of C-N bond formation in heterocyclic synthesis. Hence C-N bond formation via amination reaction with the assistance of microwave radiations gained significant attraction recently. Microwave-assisted reactions are greener, faster and generally efficient compared to the conventional thermal reactions offering better purity of th Read More

Benzo[b]thiophenes are aromatic heterocyclic compounds containing benzene and thiophene rings. This class of heterocycles is present in a large number of natural and non-natural compounds. Benzo[b]thiophene derivatives have a broad range of applications in medicinal chemistry such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-HIV and antiinflammatory activities. The use of benzo[b]thiophene derivatives in other fields Read More

Several 6- and 7-alkoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carbaldehydes were prepared from corresponding alkyl ethers of 6- and 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-2-ones by oxidation using selenium dioxide. 6- and 7-Alkoxy-4-methyl-2H-chromenes were obtained with yields of 57-85%. Corresponding 4-carbaldehyde derivatives were prepared with yields of 41-67%. Thiosemicarbazones of these aldehydes with D-galacto Read More

A simple, efficient, and cheap strategy has been developed for N-arylation of indoles with hexafloro benzene (1) via incorporating sulfolane as an eco-friendly solvent. NMonopentafluoroarylindole (3) at ambient conditions and N, N-bistetrafluoroaryl indole (4) at elevated temperatures were conveniently obtained by simple nucleophilic substitution using NaOH as the base and sulfolane as a reaction medium to obtain in mode Read More
