Background: The most frequently used chiral auxiliaries, oxazolidinones (Evans' oxazolidinones) have been employed in 1,4-congugate addition reactions to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Supplementary to our previous reports in this mini-review, we attempted to underscore the applications of this strategy in a step (steps) in the total synthesis of some naturally occurring compounds exhibiting diverse biological a Read More

Background: Coumarin is an important class of natural products with applications in different areas of knowledge. Due to its importance, several methodologies and strategies have been developed for the synthesis of different classes of compounds containing this nucleus. Objective: The aim of this review is to cover in the last five years the complex fused coumarin derivatives synthesized in one-pot three-component reaction Read More

Background: In modern chemistry, the asymmetric synthesis for the preparation of high purity chiral compounds to be used as pharmaceuticals or additives in foods have been of capital importance. Chiral auxiliary reagents are used to control the stereochemistry of the reaction in the generation of new chiral compounds, in this context, Ephedra compounds (ephedrines and pseudoephedrines) and some of their derivat Read More

Background: The Hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (HDAR) is a method extensively used in organic chemistry as a tool in the synthesis of innumerous polycyclic compounds in particular nitrogen compounds, presents in many natural products, medicinally relevant substances and organic materials. The literature describes innumerable studies of HDAR using classic methods and modern developments such as reactions on the solid p Read More

Aim and Objective: The objective of our work was to synthesize and fully characterize Pamamycin- 621D, one of the less abundant members of a large family of macrodiolides with antimycobacterial properties, which had never been synthesized before. Furthermore, we also wished to improve our general strategy by using a new unsaturated precursor. Material and Method: A new unsaturated ethylketone precursor was prepar Read More

Aim and Objective: To explore the use of naturally occurring biodegradable organic acids as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The development of a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient yet ecofriendly catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes is explored. Materials and Method: A mixture of indole 1a (1.0 g, 8.53 mmol), benzaldehyde 2a (0.45 g. 4.26 mmol), and itaconic acid (0.12 g, 0.92 mmol, 20 mol%), in H2O (5.0 mL) Read More

Aim and Objective: Lamotrigine antiepileptic drug, 3,5-diamino-6-(2',3'-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,4- triazine is used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder, lamotrigine is also effective in treating some diabetic neuropath. Recently, interest has focused on the synthesis of new lamotrigine analogues in view of their biocidal effects. This investigation focused on synthesis of novel fluorine substituted lamotrigine drug analogues using an ef Read More

Aim and Objective: Enaminones belay to be extremely stable compounds and constitute a versatile group of salutary precursors for the synthesis of enormous classes of organic compounds. So, in this context, we synthesized a new enaminone, namely, (E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(8-phenyl-8H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- a]perimidin-10-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (enaminone 2). Materials and Methods: The reaction of enaminone 2 with different Read More

Aims and Objectives: When compared to five-membered N-heterocyclic carbene, recent reports have demonstrated that ring expanded NHCs showed rather different properties such as increased basicity (nucleophilicity) and greater steric demand. These unique features provide an opportunity to design new chiral ligands. This study was undertaken to design and synthesize a series of novel enantiopure pyrimidone s Read More

Background: Azobenzol derivatives are important organic materials and show unique optical function. As a potential host, azobenzene has been broadly exploited in many areas because of its efficient inclusion ability and easy derivatization by functional groups. Objective: A series of twelve novel compounds have been synthesized and optimized based on azobenzol derivatives. Method: The binding properties were evaluated Read More
