Progress in Multicomponent Reactions Involving 1,3-Indanedione

Multicomponent reactions involving phosphines, arynes and aldehydes.

Although nucleophilic phosphine-catalysis is a powerful tool for the construction of various carbocycles and heterocycles, the reactions in which phosphines are incorporated into the final product are rare, and the reports on phosphine addition to highly electrophilic arynes are scarce. Herein, we report the phosphine triggered multicomponent reaction of arynes and aldehydes, which takes place ...

Multicomponent reactions

Chemistry as a central science is facing a steadily increasing demand for new chemical entities (NCE). Innovative solutions, in all kinds of disciplines that depend on chemistry, require new molecules with specific properties, and their societal consequences are fundamental and pioneering. However, NCE not only demand a realistic structural space but also their feasibility poses challenges to s...

Synthesis of Phosphorus Derivatives via Multicomponent Reactions

Stable derivatives of oxaphosphaphenanthrenes were prepared using multicomponent reactions of 3-bromo-2-naphthol, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate and trimethyl or triphenyl phosphite under microwave conditions with good yields.
