a simple, mild and practical procedure has been developed for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers by using dmso, tbai in the presence of k2co3. we extended the utility of  potassium carbonate as an efficient base for the preparation of ethers. a wide range of alkyl aryl and dialkyl ethers are synthesized from treatment of aliphatic alcohols and phenols with various alkyl halid...

A solution phase synthesis of peptide nucleic acid monomers and dimers was developed by using microwave-promoted Ugi multicomponent reactions. A mixture of a functionalized amine, a carboxymethyl nucleobase, paraformaldehyde and an isocyanide as building blocks generates PNA monomers which are then partially deprotected and used in a second Ugi 4CC reaction, leading to PNA dimers. Conformationa...

5-Aminopyrazole-4-carbonitrile and ethyl 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylate, as potential trifunctional building blocks are introduced in a facile, chemo- and regioselective multicomponent assembly of imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazoles via the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction (GBB reaction). Besides the synthetic elaboration of a green-compatible isocyanide-based access in three-component mode, we describe ...

Abstract The reactions of [Fe2Cp2(CO)4] with a series isocyanides, CNR, were conducted in acetonitrile and afforded, after thermal treatment, the mono-isocyanide derivatives [Fe2Cp2(CO)3(CNR)] [R = 1H-indol-5-yl, 1; CH2P(O)(OEt)2, 2; Cy = C6H11, 3; 4-C6H4OMe, 4; Xyl = 2,6-C6H3Me2, 5; Me, 6; 2-naphthyl, 7; Bn = CH2Ph, 8]. In order to avoid multiple substitution, diiron reactant was used molar ex...

Poly(isocyanidcs), ( R N = C < ) n, can be prepared from isocyanidcs, R N += C " , by the catalytic action of nickel(II) compounds. The main chain of these polymers is a rigid helix. This helical conformation results from a restricted rotation around the single bonds that connect the main-chain carbon atoms. Polymerization of achiral isocyanides generally gives a racemic mixture of leftand righ...

The first method for achieving alkyl–alkyl Suzuki reactions of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides has been developed. Carbon–carbon bond formation occurs under mild conditions (at room temperature) with the aid of commercially available catalyst components. This method has proved to be versatile: without modification, it can be applied to Suzuki reactions of secondary and primary alkyl bromi...
