As a fast-growing research field in modern organic chemistry, the crossdehydrogenative coupling (CDC) has seen considerable development in its scope of application, uptake into industry, and understanding of its mechanism to functionalize the tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) scaffold. Among the vast number of possibilities offered by the CDC coupling, the metal-free oxidative α-cyanation and alkynylation reactions have emer Read More

Quinolone derivatives have attracted considerable attention due to their medicinal properties. This review covers many synthetic routes of quinolones preparation with their antibacterial properties. Detailed study with structure-activity relationship among quinolone derivatives will be helpful in designing new drugs in this field.

Noble metal microparticles have been employed as desired catalysts for a number of classical organic chemical reactions due to their unique physicochemical properties. Currently, in order to obtain more benefits for practical applications such as low cost, easy separation and high selectivity, many efforts of scientists are devoted to constructing composite microparticles in which noble metals are coupled with other Read More

Vegetable oils have been widely used in food, surfactants, lubricants, biodiesel, coatings, and other fields due to their advantages such as renewable, abundant, suitable for further processing, and biodegradable. On the other hand, microwave technology has attracted extensive attention in organic and polymeric chemistry because the technology can greatly shorten the reaction time, improve the yield of produc Read More

Partial substitution of CH groups in the skeletons of linearly fused phenyl rings provides an appreciable possibility to tailor their properties. Among them, azaacenes induced from a partial substitution of oligoacenes by nitrogen are one of the most promising derivatives with a view of their potential application in organic electronic devices as a novel organic n-type semiconductor. Hence this review focuses on recent progres Read More

Numerous O (oxa)- and S (thia)-glycosyl esters and their analogous glycosyl acids have been accomplished through stereoselective glycosylation of various peracetylated bromo sugar with benzyl glycolate using InBr3 as a glycosyl promotor followed by in situ hydrogenolysis of resulting glycosyl ester. A tandem glycosylating and hydrogenolytic activity of InBr3 has been successfully investigated in a one-pot procedure. The resulti Read More
