Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Iran, next to heart disease. Current therapy suffers from the major limitations of side effects and drug resistance, so the characterization of new structures that can be power-selective and less-toxic anticancer agents is the main challenge to medicinal chemistry research. Furoxan (1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide) is a crucial compound with many medicinal and pharmaceutical prope Read More

The role of oxindole derivatives is discussed as starting materials in diverse organic reactions, including two and more components, between the years 2014 until 2020. Oxindoles are famous because of their biological properties. For instance, chromanone-fused polycyclic pyrrolidinyl-dispirooxindoles, functionalized polycyclic spiro-fused carbocyclicoxindole, and 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles have anti-cancer, anti-tumor, Read More

Over the years, the branch of oncology has reached a mature stage, and substantial development and advancement have been achieved in this dimension of medical science. The synthesis and isolation of numerous novel anticancer agents of natural and synthetic origins have been reported. Thiazole and 4-thiazolidinone containing heterocyclic compounds, having a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical activities, repre Read More

In the microwave-assisted alcoholysis of dialkyl phenylphosphonates performed in the presence of suitable ionic liquids, such as [bmim][BF4] or [bmim][PF6], affording the phosphonate with mixed alkoxy groups and the fully transesterified product, the fission of the phosphonate function to the ester-acid or diacid moiety was inevitable. Moreover, in the presence of [emim][HSO4], the reaction could be performed to afford th Read More

A novel, fast, and straightforward procedure for the synthesis of di- and trifunctionalized isoxazoles starting from 2-ethoxymethylenemalononitrile with different ratios of hydroxylamine in the presence of sodium acetate is described in this paper. The current method’s features include the availability of the starting materials, moderate reaction conditions, and the simplicity of the workup. The structures are characterized us Read More
