C-N bond formation is a particularly important step in the generation of many biologically relevant heterocyclic molecules. Several methods have been reported for this purpose over the past few decades. Well-known named reactions like Ullmann-Goldberg coupling, Buchwald-Hartwig coupling and Chan-Lam coupling are associated with the C-N bond formation reactions. Several reviews covering this topic have already Read More

One-pot syntheses are a simple, efficient and easy methodology, which are widely used for the synthesis of organic compounds. Imidazoline is a valuable heterocyclic moiety used as a synthetic intermediate, chiral auxiliary, chiral catalyst and a ligand for asymmetric catalysis. Imidazole is a fundamental unit of biomolecules that can be easily prepared from imidazolines. The one-pot method is an impressive approach to synt Read More

The present pandemic erupted due to highly contagious coronavirus SARS-CoV- 2, and lack of any efficient therapy to restrain its infection and treatment, led the scientific community to re-evaluate the efficacy of commonly available phytochemicals as potential therapeutic agents. The vast pharmacological activities and medicinal significance of the plant-derived natural products against a diverse range of physiological disor Read More

Thiabendazoles and their derivatives have a unique place in the field of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. These synthesized compounds are used as principal precursors for the synthesis of several new active heterocyclic molecules that have diverse biological activities and play vital roles in other industrial fields. This short review aims to provide current updates about the most bioactive thiabendazole derivatives from synt Read More

Real-time sensing of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) is today a crucial topic to prevent the lethal effects of a terroristic chemical attack. For this reason, the development of efficient, selective, sensitive and reversible sensoristic devices, able to detect by optical response ppm levels of these compounds, is strongly required. Here, the synthesis of a new fluorescent sensor based on a salen-uranyl scaffold, functionalized with tw Read More

A novel Pd-nanoparticle-catalyst supported on chitosan-pyridine-modified carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared. The obtained Pd-catalytic platform (Pd@CS-Py@CNT) was fully characterized and employed to the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction as a heterogeneous catalyst, showing an excellent catalytic activity in aqueous media in the absence of phase transfer agents. Moreover, the easy recoverability and reusability of the cata Read More
