The Friedel-Crafts acylation of natural or unnatural amino acids in stereoretarded manner is willing to prescribed here. Depending on its main skeleton, the typical intra- and intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of amino acids can be differentiated. The unique amino acid's general structure can contribute to the reaction between its carboxyl group and the side chain. Depending on the Friedel-Crafts reaction conditio Read More

Due to the robust electrophilic properties of the trifluoromethyl group (-CF3), its incorporation into organic compounds can markedly alter their ester affinity, stability, bioavailability, and other properties. The trifluoromethylation reaction is currently experiencing rapid advancement, with an expanding array of substrates and the emergence of novel methodologies. Consequently, compounds containing the -CF3 moiety find e Read More

In terms of fused heterocyclic compounds, pyrrolopyrimidines, and their substituted analogs are among the most extensively explored scaffolds. Based on the location of the nitrogen atom in the pyrrole ring, pyrrolopyrimidines have different isomers. This study deals only with the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine isomer. Several techniques are represented and discussed in this review for producing pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives. Read More

Three compounds from Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f) Nees leaf were isolated and identified using 1H, 13C, 2D-NMR, and HR-MS techniques for the first time. Compound 3,19-Di-O-acetylandrographolide (3,19-DAA) or (4) is produced by acetylating compound (2). Compounds (2) and (4) have been investigated for their cytotoxic effects on three human cancer cell lines (SK-LU-1, Hela, and HepG2) using the MTT method. Compo Read More

2-Thioxoimidazolidin-4-one derivatives 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 have been synthesized from 3- (benzylideneamino)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one (2) as a starting material. Compounds 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 were obtained via the reaction of compound (2) with ethyl chloroacetate, methyl acrylate, and chlorophenacyl bromide, respectively. Elemental analysis and several spectroscopy techniques were used to confirm the synthesized co Read More

Three receptors 1-3, built on adenine, have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and successfully employed for the recognition of monocarboxylic acids. The adenine- based receptors 1-3 have been found to bind monocarboxylic acids via the Hoogsteen (HG) binding site or the Watson-Crick (WC) binding site and form 1:1 complexes in CHCl3. Detailed binding of the receptors 1-3, in the presence of the monocar Read More

The reaction of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) with furan derivatives gives the corresponding enediones. However, the reaction of pyridinium chlorochromate with furan to give enedione derivatives cannot be performed by using commercial PCC. XRD and XPS analysis of the reagents coupled with DFT calculations can allow us to explain this different behavior. Homemade and commercial PCC have different colors and Read More
