Selenocysteine containing peptoids and peptide-peptoid conjugates were synthesized by combinatorial Ugi-MCRs (multicomponent reactions) in water: for the first time, an acetal (selenoacetal 2a) was used in Ugi-MCR to furnish selenocysteine peptoids in one step as model compounds for selenocysteine peptides and proteins.

Five elegant and switchable three-component reactions which enable access to a new series of nitrogen-containing heterocycles are reported. A novel one-step addition of an isocyanide to a hydrazine derived Schiff base affords unique six-membered pyridotriazine scaffolds (A and E). With slight modification of reaction conditions and replacement of the nucleophilic isocyanide moiety with differen...

A b s t r a c t Starting from different ketones 1a-1f, aldehyde 2a-2g, and acetonitriles 3a-3d we synthesize some bioactive βAcetamido carbonyl compounds 4a-4h. We also attempted to synthesize these ...

A novel multicomponent strategy for the efficient synthesis of tricyclic pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines has been described. The bond-forming efficiency, accessibility and generality of this synthesis make it highly attractive to assemble tri-heterocyclic scaffolds.

A simple catalytic protocol for the synthesis of novel spiro[indoline-pyranodioxine] derivatives has been developed using ZnO nanoparticle as an efficient, green, and reusable catalyst. The derivatives are obtained in moderate to excellent yield by one-pot three-component reaction of an isatin, malononitrile/ethylcyanoacetate, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione in absolute ethanol under con...

Small molecule diversity can be achieved in a single synthetic operation from bifunctional substrates in the absence of additives and under the influence of microwaves with complete control of pathway selectivity. The preliminary Ugi four-component coupling products give rise to three structurally distinct scaffolds that are dependent on solvent effects and sterics. 2,5-Diketopiperazines (Type ...

Thiazoles and thiazolyl-pyrazole derivatives have been efficiently synthesized under neat reaction conditions in excellent yields. Condensation of 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1), thiosemicarbazide (2) and various carbonyl compounds (3 & 5) gave corresponding thiazole (4) and thiazolylpyrazole derivatives (6) in excellent yields by using Hantzsch-Thiazole synthesis. The ...

The one-pot synthesis of a target molecule in the same reaction vessel is widely considered to be an efficient approach in synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, the characteristics and limitations of various one-pot syntheses of biologically active molecules are explained, primarily involving organocatalytic methods as key tactics. Besides catalysis, the pot-economy concepts presented he...

In the presence of IR irradiation by the use of solid support montmorillonite KSF, under solvent free conditions four component aldehyde, Dione, Meldrum acid and ammonium acetate react for the formation of 1, 4 dihydropyridine derivatives. This is a greener method and one pot synthesis. Minimum reaction time and higher yield are the advantages of this process. The product can be purifying by ch...

Following an optimized multicomponent procedure, an aryl amine, a ketone, and a cyclic ether or an alcohol molecule are assembled in a one-pot synthesis by nucleophilic radical addition of ketyl radicals to ketimines generated in situ. The reaction occurs under mild conditions by mediation of the TiCl4/Zn/t-BuOOH system, leading to the formation of quaternary β-amino-ethers and -alcohols. The n...
