A simple and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of derivatives 7, 7-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-2, 3, 4, 6, 8-hexahydro-1H-quinazoline-5-one from 5, 5-dimethyl cyclohexane-1, 3-dione (4a–4h) (dimedone) has been described. The aryl aldehydes were substituted with thiourea in presence synthesized zinc ferrite nanocatalyst, which increased yield under reflux through condensation, followed ...

A series of new bis azo dyes were synthesized starting from aromatic diamine with S/SO2 bridges and cyclic-1,3-dicarbonyl groups; contain active methylene group, namely; 3,3-dimethyl-1,5-cyclohexadione (dimedone), 1,3-cyclohexadione 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione to give 1-6. Whether the reaction is complete purity compounds checked TLC. The structure newly synthezed was investigated by usi...

Sulfenylation is one of the reversible post-translational modifications, playing significant roles in cellular redox homeostasis and signaling systems. Herein, small fluorescent probe (CPD and CPDDM) based live-cell labelling technology for the visualization of protein sulfenylation responses in living cells has been developed. This approach enables the detection of protein sulfenylation withou...

p-Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was used as a catalyst for a simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of aryl substititued tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and dihydropyrano[c]chromens via initial Knoevenagel, subsequent Micheal and final heterocyclization reactions of aryl aldehyde, malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin/dimedone in moderate to excellent yields. The present method was operationally si...

In the present work, we have developed a mild, efficient, and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives via a three-component cyclocondensation of aldehydes, malononitrile and dimedone utilizing ammonium chloride as a simple, easily available and cost effective catalyst under microwave irradiation. This method has several attracting features such as ...

An efficient synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives was reported via four-component coupling reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl ketones (dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione), ethyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of nanocrystalline TiO2 under solvent free conditions. The reported method is mild, rapid and has the advantages su...

Chemoprevention by retinoids of the progression of carcinomas induced in rats by azaserine was evaluated. Wistar/Lewis rats were given 15 weekly injections of azaserine, 10 mg/kg, while fed a chow diet; after the completion of carcinogen treatment, they were fed a chow diet supplemented with four different retinoids at the level of 0.5 to 2 mmol/kg diet for 1 year. The incidence of neoplasms wa...

In the course of our synthetic studies on biologically active compounds using dimedone, tetronic acids, and tetramic acids,1) we reported that some 10-substituted 3,3-dimethyl3, 4, 9, 10tetrahydro1Hfuroand -pyrrolo [4, 3-b] [1, 5] benzodiazepin1-ones (1 and 2) showed analgesic activity as strong as that of aminopyrine in the phenylquinone writhing test in mice.2) Namely, the extents of inhibiti...

The problem of bacteria resistance to many known agents has inspired scientists and researchers to discover novel efficient antibacterial drugs. Three rapid, clean, and highly efficient methods were developed for one-pot synthesis of 7-(aryl)-10,10-dimethyl-10,11-dihydrochromeno[4,3-b]chromene-6,8(7H,9H)-dione derivatives. Three components are condensed in the synthesis, 4-hydroxycoumarin, 5,5-...
