A new series of the title compounds incorporated into diverse N and O heterocyclic moieties of pharmacoavailability as anti-inflammatory or analgesic agents, were synthesized starting with 6-bromo-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (I) by its fusion with p-aminoacetophenone to give the intermediate compound, 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3-(4-acetylphenyl)-4(3H)quinazolinone (II). The one pot reaction of II w...

A series of 1-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-(substituted)-2-propen-1-one and its 1-methyl analogues 2c-h were synthesized and cyclized with different reagents such as ethyl cyanoacetate, thiourea, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, guanidinium sulfate, methylhydrazine, phenylhydrazine and/or hydrogen peroxide in different reactions to produce pyridones 3a,b, pyrimidinethione 4a,b, isoxazole 5a,b, aminopyr...

The reaction of 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with ethyl cyanoacetate gave 2-cyano-N-(3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-acetamide. The latter was used to synthesize different heterocyclic derivatives comprising thiophene, thiazole, pyrazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, and coumarin rings. The mechanistic and synthetic pathways depended on regioselective attack and...

Tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives 4a-c where prepared from the reaction of 1,4-cyclohexane dione (1), malononitrile (2) and either benzaldehyde (3a), 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (3b) or 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (3c) in ethanol containing triethylamine. Compound 4b was used to prepare pyrazole, pyrimidine thiazole derivatives. Moreover, tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazole derivative 18 (1) with ele...

A star-shaped oligothiophene based on triphenylamine as a core and 2-ethylhexyl cyanoacetate as end groups (S(TPA-3T-CA)) was synthesized. S(TPA-3T-CA) exhibited strong absorption and high hole mobility. Solution-processed solar cells based on S(TPA-3T-CA):PC(71)BM showed a power conversion efficiency of 3.60% and a fill factor of 0.56.

For the first time Knoevenagel condensation has been catalyzed by elemental copper with unexpected activity and excellent isolated yields. Inexpensive, widely available copper powder was used to catalyze the condensation of cyanoacetate and benzaldehyde under mild conditions. To ensure general applicability, a wide variety of different substrates was successfully reacted.

a general, simple, practical and convenient method has been described for the synthesis of anesthetic drug thiopental using thiourea in the presence of sodium ethoxide. anesthetic drug of thiopental was prepared in two stages; during the first stage, the alkylation of mthyl cyanoacetate was performed which was then to be followed by cyclization. alkylation of methyl cyanoacetate which was perfo...
