Different acid chlorides (2a-d) reacted with anthranilic acid to produce 2-substituted-3, 1-benzoxazin-4-one (3a-d) which was used as starting material to synthesize some condensed and non-condensed heterocyclic compounds by reaction with nitrogen nucleophiles e.g., hydrazine hydrate, and formamide. Some of the newly synthesized analogues were chosen to evaluate their cytotoxic activity against...

An efficient synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans was achieved from the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketone derivatives, acid chlorides, and Bu3P in the presence of Et3N via a chemoselective intramolecular Wittig reaction as the key step. The presence of an additional electron-withdrawing group in the α-position of Michael acceptors controlled the chemoselectivities of presumable phosphorus yl...

Phosphanyl-beta-ketoiminate Pd complexes serve as highly effective catalysts in the Stille coupling reaction of aryl chlorides and heteroaryl chlorides with organostannanes at room temperature.

A convenient route to isoindolo[2,1-a]indol-6-ones has been developed starting from the appropriate 2-(N-phthaloyl)benzoic acids. Formation of the acid chlorides with thionyl chloride followed by heating with triethyl phosphite in a suitable solvent resulted in a multistep reaction giving tetracyclic β-ketophosphonates that on reduction with sodium borohydride gave the required indolones in goo...

Benzylic zinc chlorides bearing various functional groups are smoothly prepared by the direct insertion of magnesium into benzylic chlorides in the presence of LiCl and ZnCl(2).

Diglycolyl chlorides, commercially available or obtained from the corresponding dicarboxylic acids, have been converted into the corresponding diamides by reaction with a wide range of amines in an organic-aqueous biphasic system (Schotten–Baumann approach) in high yields. Treatment with poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) afforded the pure compounds. Substituted diglycolyl diesters, obtained by coupl...

CONSIDERABLE emphasis has been laid during recent years on the analogies between colloidal systems and lving cells in regard to their behaviour towards water and dissolved substances and it has become evident that the study of colloidal systems must throw light on the constitution and behaviour of living tissues. It is therefore of interest to enquire whether anything analogous to the phenomeno...

A process for the preparation of symmetric and unsymmetric imidazolinium chlorides that involves reaction of a formamidine with dichloroethane and a base (a) is described. This method makes it possible to obtain numerous imidazolinium chlorides under solvent-free reaction conditions and in excellent yields with purification by simple filtration. Alternatively, symmetric imidazolinium chlorides ...
