Background: 1,4-Dithiane-2,5-diol (1,4-DTD) is the stable dimer of α-mercapto acetaldehyde. This commercially available ambidentade compound is characterized as having in its chemical structure one group that acts as an electrophile and another that acts as a nucleophile, this permits its use as versatile and efficient synthon in synthetic heterocycle procedures. Objective: The aim of this review is to present synthetic applic Read More

Background: The majority of naturally occurring compounds, pharmaceuticals, and drug-candidate molecules possess heterocyclic scaffolds. In this context, tetrahydobenzo[b]pyrans are of considerable importance. In the line with the synthesis of these valuable heterocyclic compounds, the researchers tried to synthesize these molecules using different organocatalysts. The development of new strategies for three-compone Read More

Background: The use of solid bases as heterogeneous catalysts allows the replacement of conventional bases in Organic Chemistry, being of outmost importance. Lamellar double hydroxides or hydrotalcites are materials having excellent basic properties and high surface areas. As their surface properties have been used as bifunctional catalysts allowing the incorporation of metals and depending on the calcination temp Read More

Dioxiranes are three-membered strained ring peroxides that are typical archetype examples of electrophilic entities. A dioxirane-based oxidant named 3-methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (TFDO) is a fluorinated analogue of the extremely valuable oxidant dimethyldioxirane (DMDO). Owing to the strained threemembered ring and presence of electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, TFDO is several times more reactive tha Read More

Background: We present here the synthesis of 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (1) and its functionalised analogues, such as the classical isosteres, glitazone (1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione) (2), rhodanine (2-thioxo-1,3- thiazolidin-4-one) (3) and pseudothiohydantoin (2-imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one) (4) started in the midnineteenth century to the present day (1865-2018). Objective: The review focuses on the differences in the representation of the Read More

Background: The synthesis of N-polyheterocycles by environmentally benign method is highly attractive but challenging proposition. New strategies have been developed for the preparation of polycyclic heterocycles in the last decades. In this review article, the synthesis of nitrogen containing six-membered polycyclic heterocyclic compounds is presented with the application of ionic liquids. This contribution focuses on the litera Read More

Aim and Objective: We studied the synthesis of new groups of functionalized isobenzofurans and isoindolines by selective gold catalyzed cycloisomerization of some new optically active furandialkynes derived from the natural furanolabdanoid lambertianic acid. Functionalized isobenzofurans and isoindolines are considered as privileged structures that are currently experiencing a renewed interest in medicinal Read More

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the research is to obtain and to investigate the cytotoxicity of a novel class of non-toxic oximes – derivatives of N-(benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ylmethoxy)-ω- (hetarylsulfanyl)-alkanamidines. Materials and Methods: To assess the possible toxicity of the compounds, acute oral LD50 was calculated. The calculations were based on tested compounds IC50 values in relation to 3T3 (mouse fi Read More

Background: 1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles, 1, 3, 4-thiadiazines and thienopyrimidines have newly attracted attention due to their forceful pharmacological activities. They showed antimicrobial, antiviral, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: The aim of this research is to synthesize new thiadiazolothienopyrimidines (2-10), thienopyrimidothiadiazines (11-15), quinoxaline-thienopyrimidinones (16) and thienopyrimido- thiadi Read More

Aim and Objective: In this study, a new series of iminopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of the key intermediate 2-imino-6-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4(5H)-one 4 with a variety of electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents under a variety of mild conditions. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectroscopic data. The antimicrob Read More

Aim and Objective: A simple catalytic method has been developed to achieve the reduction of nitroarenes with NaBH4 using diphenyl diselenide catalyst in order to obtain the azoxyarene, azoarene products under mild conditions. Materials and Methods: The reduction of different substituted nitroarenes was realized in alkaline ethanolic solution using mild sodium borohydride in the presence of diphenyl diselenide as an electro Read More
