Biologically active 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones have been synthesized in an efficient and concise manner utilizing readily available 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones as the starting material. The key strategy relies on the construction of the pyrrole ring through the palladium catalyzed sequential cross-coupling reaction and cyclization process.

A mild and efficient catalytic method for synthesis of 5-alkoxycarbonyl-4-aryl-3, 4dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using KSF montmorillonite as catalyst is described.

In this study, a variety of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives were synthesized via three-component Biginelli reaction. The quaternary ammonium- treated clay -catalyzed process proved to be simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

Twelve new 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-6-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones/thiones (7-18) have been synthesized by reacting 1-aryl-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-propen-1-one with urea and thiourea in ethanolic potassium hydroxide. Their structures have been confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral data. The compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity. Test results revealed that compounds sh...

synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3h)ones via-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid i to benzoxazine iii, further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...

Iodine-methanol mediated oxidative-aromatization of 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones afforded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxy-quinolines in high yield and purity. The isomeric 1-(2-amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)-3-aryl-2-propen-1-ones reacted with iodine in methanol afford in a single pot operation the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxyquinoline (major) and 2-...

The KO(t)Bu-mediated annulation of acetonitrile with aldehyde was observed, in which the cleavage of four C(sp(3))-H bonds occurred and a total of eight new bonds were formed during the synthesis of substituted dihydropyridinones in the presence of peroxide. Furthermore, dihydropyridinones have been transformed into pyridinones using KO(t)Bu in DMSO.

2-Aminoquinolin-4(1H)-one was reacted with various primary/secondary amines and paraformaldehyde under Mannich reaction conditions. In the case of secondary amines, the reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide yielded expected Mannich products accompanied with 3,3'-methylenebis(2-aminoquinolin-4(1H)-one). Except these main products, the pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-5-one derivative was also identified as c...
