Synthesis of Fluorescent oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE3) via Sonogashira Reactions

Synthesis of fluorescent 2,3,5,6-tetraalkynylpyridines by site-selective Sonogashira-reactions of 2,3,5,6-tetrachloropyridines.

4-Substituted 2,3,5,6-tetraalkynylpyridines were prepared by tetra-fold Sonogashira reactions of the corresponding 2,3,5,6-tetrachloropyridines. 2,6-Dialkynyl-3,5-dichloropyridines were prepared by site-selective Sonogashira reactions from various 4-unsubstituted and 4-substituted tetrachloropyridines. Subsequent two-fold Sonogashira reactions of the products allowed for the synthesis of variou...

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.

Efficient synthesis of fluorescent alkynyl C-nucleosides via Sonogashira coupling for the preparation of DNA-based polyfluorophores.

A facile and general procedure for the preparation of alkynyl C-nucleosides with varied fluorophores is presented. Sonogashira coupling was used as a key reaction to conjugate the dyes to an easily accessible ethynyl functionalized deoxyribose derivative. The new C-nucleosides were used for the preparation of DNA-based polyfluorophores.
