Current Organic Synthesis - Volume 20, Issue 4, 2023

This paper describes indigo chemistry and its brief scientific history beginning with the first characterization and chemical synthesis of indigo via various precursors such as isatin, cinnamic acid, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, anthranilic acid, N-phenylglycine, aniline, and indole. Furthermore, alternative methods such as eco-friendly microbial synthesis of indigo using a variety of enzymes are reported: Cytochrome P450 mono Read More

Background: In this paper, a novel catalyst is synthesized and characterized by immobilizing copper onto imidazopyridine-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION). Methods: The catalyst is characterized by several methods, including TEM, SEM, ICP, DLS, and VSM. The catalytic activity of the catalyst is evaluated in the synthesis of thiosolfunamide. The synthesized catalyst showed very good ac Read More

Heterocyclic compounds are a class of compounds that is deeply intertwined with biological processes and is found in about 90% of commercially available medicines. They serve a critical function in medicinal chemistry and are focused in the field of medication development for their intensive research due to their broad variety of biological effects because of their intriguing molecular architecture, such as indoles are good can Read More

Fatty acids derived from oils and fats of different plant and animal resources are considered one of the most valuable renewable precursors of the synthetic chemical and pharmaceutical industries. On the other hand, heterocyclic compounds are well known nowadays by their constitution of many commercialized drugs due to their unique biological activities. Combination between fatty acids and heterocyclic compounds has Read More

Background: Benzimidazoles have a wide range of synthetic applications in medicinal chemistry and biological activities like anti-tumor/anti-proliferative activities etc. Moreover, different heterocyclic moieties attached to the benzimidazole ring improved anticancer activities. Methods: All the chemicals were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, are of AR grade and used as received. Microanalytical data (C, H, and N Read More

Objective: Vanillin/Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) supported Fe3O4@Sio2 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 @SP@VT) were synthesized and thoroughly analyzed, and were used for the green and efficient synthesis of chromenes using the multicomponent reaction of aldehyde, malononitrile and 4-hydroxy coumarin, as well as the multicomponent reaction of aldehyde, α-naphthol or β–naphthol and 4-hydroxy coumarin. Methods: The reactio Read More

Objective: Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin that is related structurally to naturally occurring prostaglandin (PG), and it has been acknowledged as an effective inhibitor of gastric acid secretion when administered intravenously. Methods: In the present study, the novel application of 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, a cyclic unsaturated amine [DBU] for the conversion of A-type Misoprostol (A-MP) to Read More
