Difluoromethanesulfonyl hypervalent iodonium ylides 2 were developed as electrophilic difluoromethylthiolation reagents for a wide range of nucleophiles. Enamines, indoles, β-keto esters, silyl enol ethers and pyrroles were effectively reacted with 2 affording desired difluoromethylthio (SCF2H)-substituted compounds in good to high yields under copper catalysis. The reaction of allyl alcohols w...

a series of n-substituted-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (tzds) were prepared via n-alkylation of 2,4-tzd at position 3 using substituted benzyl halides. synthesized n-substituted-2,4-tzd was then substituted at position 5 with substituted aromatic aldehyde according to knoevenagel condensation method. structures of the compounds were elucidated using various spectral techniques viz. ir, 1hn...

An efficient and divergent one-pot synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles, 3-alkyl-1H-pyrroles and 3-alkenyl-1H-pyrroles from readily accessible 2,4-pentadienenitriles with isocyanide based on reaction condition selection has been described. The reaction of 2,4-pentadienenitriles with ethyl isocyanoacetate undergoes a formal [2 + 3] annulation either to generate 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles in the pre...

Heteroaromatic carboxylic acids have been directly coupled with imines using propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) and NEt(iPr)2 to form azaspirocycles via intermediate N-acyliminium ions. Spirocyclic indolenines (3H-indoles), azaindolenines, 2H-pyrroles and 3H-pyrroles were all accessed using this metal-free approach. The reactions typically proceed with high diastereoselectivity and 3D shape analy...

stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the ben||n-substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where ben is benzene and || denotes π-π stacking interaction, and n-substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with different number of n atoms). the results reveal simultaneous effects of structure and number of heteroatom on th...

Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of N-Boc-protected pyrroles proceeded with high enantioselectivity by using a ruthenium catalyst modified with a trans-chelating chiral bisphosphine PhTRAP. The ruthenium catalyst prepared from Ru(eta3-methallyl)2(cod) and (S,S)-(R,R)-PhTRAP in the presence of triethylamine was the most enantioselective for the asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl pyrrole-2-carb...
