Free radical reactions occupy an important position in synthetic organic chemistry as well as medicinal chemistry, significantly complementing and extending the synthesis of coumarin or quinolin-2-one compounds. Moreover, the use of constructing coumarin or quinolin-2-one compounds functionalized at the C3 position has certain advantages over traditional noble metal-catalyzed or high-temperature cyclization, which is Read More

Pyrimido [5, 4-c] quinolone derivatives are significant synthetic targets that show numerous interesting biological activities. The pyrimido [4, 5-b] quinoline is the most famous source of these derivatives, which has been used in medicine to antitumor and target different diseases. Since the segregation of quinoline derivatives, many synthetic methodologies were advanced for their synthesis. Despite the current interesting fi Read More

Gem-dimethyl bicyclic [3.1.0] proline, an azadicyclohexane derivative, constitutes a prevalent skeleton structure in drugs, which serves an important role in the synthesis of antiviral drugs, such as Nirmatrelvir, Boceprevir, Narlaprevir, etc. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the documented synthetic strategies for gem-dimethyl bicyclic [3.1.0] proline methyl ester and delves into the application characteristic Read More

In chemistry, thiazoles and their derivatives constitute a significant class of biologically active molecules that are thought to be the fundamental building blocks of numerous other biologically active compounds. Many synthetic pharmaceuticals, including fungicides, dyes, antimicrobials, and anticonvulsants, are made using thiazoles and their derivatives as an intermediary. Thus, one of the main areas of organic synthesis res Read More

meta-Chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) is a readily available peroxide that is a powerful oxidizing agent utilized in a range of oxidative reactions. Metal-free oxidations mediated by mCPBA involving selective oxidation of aliphatic amines to oximes, selective oxidation of organosulphides/aldehydes, synthesis of heterocyclic N-oxides, domino C[sp2] hydroxylation/annulation of enaminones (heterocyclic ring Read More

Indole alkaloids are a class of secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities. The chemical structure of indole alkaloids is relatively complex, but all of them have a remarkable structural feature, which is a five-membered pyrrole cyclocyclobenzene ring. Because of the unique structural characteristics of indole alkaloids, they have also a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial, anti-inflam Read More

The synthesis of organic molecules has been a tremendous and rapid advance in the recent decade to obtain high biological and pharmacological activities. In this review, the organic synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives is considered an alternative method to traditional procedures for treating many diseases that affect humans. Also, by transferring electrons, stereoselective syntheses occur via organic reactions in v Read More
