A facile mechanochemical-based method for synthesis of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles is here by introduced. For this purpose, copper hydroxide powder was synthesized through a facile solution method (CuSO4 + 2 Na(OH) → Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4) after which milling of as-prepared Cu(OH)2 precursor and NaCl resulted in the mechanochemical dehydration of Cu(OH)2 and dispersion of CuO nanoparticles into...

This paper describes the facile synthesis of sildenafil citrate (1) and its related compounds through an improved chlorosulfonation reaction using chlorosulfonic acid and thionyl chloride. This synthesis results in pure sildenafil with high yield. The structures of the compounds were determined with infrared (IR), ¹H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopic methods, and high resolution mass spectroscopy (...

To develop a new facile protocol for the synthesis of 2'-aminobenzothiazolo-arylmethyl-2-naphthol derivatives, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was used as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 2'-aminobenzothiazolo-arylmethyl-2-naphthols in excellent yields from β -naphthol (1 mmol), aromatic aldehydes (1 mmol), and 2-aminobenzothiazole (1 mmol) at 60°C under solvent-free conditions.

A facile, efficient, single-step protocol for the synthesis of difluoromethyl enol ether derivatives by O-difluoromethylation of 1,3-diones via in situ generation of difluorocarbene from ClCF2CO2Et has been developed. The functional group tolerance, scalability of the reaction, and mild reaction conditions make it an attractive protocol for the synthesis of biologically relevant difluoromethyl ...

A facile synthesis for novel loperamide analogs as potential μ opioid receptors is described. The synthetic procedure for compound 5, which contains two 4-phenyl piperidine scaffolds, was optimized, and this compound was synthesized in excellent yield. We also describe a mild and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of compounds 6 and 7.

The first asymmetric Michael addition of 3-substituted phthalides to nitroolefins promoted by amino acid-incorporating multifunctional catalysts has been developed. The reported method led to the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted phthalide derivatives in high yields, and in a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective manner. Facile synthesis of a chiral bicyclic lactam has also been demonstra...

Herein, we report, for the first time, synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic methyl blue dye degradation performance of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a facile green approach using Camellia sinensis (tea leaves) extract as reducing agent. The as-prepared materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), which confirmed large-scale synthesis well crystalli...

Facile, two-step synthesis and kinetic characterization of new chemical probes for selective labeling of sulfenic acid (-SOH) in proteins are presented. The synthesis route relies on the simple and highly efficient Michael addition of thiol containing tags or linkers to 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione, the unsaturated derivative of 1,3-cyclopentanedione.

A novel and facile copper-catalyzed 5-endo-trig cyclization of ketoxime carboxylates for the synthesis of 2-arylpyrroles has been developed. The reaction tolerates a range of functional groups and is a practical procedure for rapid synthesis of 2-arylpyrroles in high yields under mild conditions.

C1-alkyl AI-2 analogues do not induce bioluminescence in V. harveyi on their own but enhance the bioluminescence induced by AI-2 in a synergistic fashion. A new facile synthesis of AI-2 facilitates the synthesis of a diverse set of AI-2 analogues and biological screening suggests that receptors that are involved in the synergistic bioluminescence production in V. harveyi are promiscuous.
