Current Organocatalysis - Volume 10, Issue 2, 2023

Ecofriendly Indium catalyzed synthesis of organic compounds finds various applications in health sectors, electronics, semiconductors, and many more. An efficient co-catalyst and oriented catalyst behavior of Indium has become a choice for many organic transformations. Its compatibility with water, showing nontoxic and nonreactive action, proceeds the reactions with ease. Focus on Indium metal-mediated important org Read More

The last two decades have witnessed tremendous growth in organocatalysis, especially using proline and related catalysts in a wide range of organic processes. Along with this, the heterogenization of organocatalysts over suitable support systems also emerged as an effective approach for addressing some of the major drawbacks associated with classical organocatalysts. Polymer-immobilized catalysts, in particular, are Read More

Background: The present work describes sustainable Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aryl/ heterocyclic aldehyde with various active methylene derivatives such as malononitrile, dimedone, ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, barbituric acid, and thiobarbituric acid is reported. The protocol was developed using water extract of mango peel ash (WEMPA), an agrowaste that emerged as a greener solvent media a Read More

The stereoselective synthesis of putaminoxin 1, a biologically active natural phototoxic lactone has been synthesized from (R)-2-Propyloxirane and Hex-5-en-1-ol. The synthesis involves Jacobsen’s hydrolytic kinetic resolution and ring-closing metathesis as the key steps.
