Current Organic Synthesis - Volume 20, Issue 5, 2023

The approach of utilizing protecting groups (PGs) in organic chemistry has led to the successful syntheses of an array of useful organic compounds. This strategy has also addressed some of the complexities associated with many organic reactions. These PGs find useful applications in simple and complex reactions that involve the synthesis of large organic compounds such as peptides, and oligosaccharides. The fundamental role Read More

Benzazoles (Bz) and derivatives are interesting molecules in medicinal chemistry. Several of these compounds display diverse biological activities; some are still used in clinical applications. In this way, synthetic chemists are interested in developing new procedures to access compounds with the guanidine moiety as 2-aminobenzimidazole (2ABI), Astemizole (antihistaminic), Albendazole (anthelmintic) and Carbendazim (fungici Read More

Background: Molecules bearing an active methylene bridge are one of the most fruitful and remarkable precursors that have been incorporated into the synthetic strategy of an assortment of bioactive compounds. Objective: The reactive methylene derivatives have been endowed with multiple reactions, which target biological and medicinal applications and result from their structural diversity and discrete reactivity. Me Read More

Background: Quinoline and its derivatives have been shown to display a wide spectrum of biological properties, especially anticancer activity. Particularly, diverse potent anticancer drugs are based on the 4-phenoxyquinoline skeleton, acting as small-molecules VEGR2 and/or c-Met kinase inhibitors. However, the design of new drugs based on these quinoline derivatives remains a challenge. Up till now, all approaches to 4-p Read More

Objective: This study aimed at developing new methodologies for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Methods: A new series of tricyclic derivatives (13a-d) were synthesized via 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones (8a-c) and (9a-c) using intramolecular cyclisation at the reflux of toluene and radical intramolecular cyclisation in the presence of tributyltin hydride and AIBN as an initiator in benzene, which are two techniques to prepare Read More

Background: 1,2,3-Triazole-tetrazoles have received substantial attention because of their unique bioisosteric properties and an extraordinarily broad spectrum of biological activity, making them interesting for the drug design, and synthesis of a delightful class of widely investigated heterocyclic compounds. To address major health concerns, it is consequently important to devote ongoing effort to the identification an Read More
