[reaction: see text] One-pot asymmetric Mannich-hydrocyanation reactions are described. Reaction of unmodified aldehydes with N-PMP-protected alpha-imino ethyl glyoxylate in the presence of catalytic amounts of L-proline followed by the addition of Et(2)AlCN provided highly enantiomerically pure beta-cyanohydroxymethyl alpha-amino acid derivatives possessing three contiguous stereogenic centers...

Cellulose sulfonic acid efficiently catalyzes the one-pot reaction of 4hydroxycoumarin and aryl aldehydes under mild reaction conditions to yield biscoumarin derivatives in high yields. This method is of great value because of its easy processing, short reaction time and high yields. We anticipate the present method will receive the attention of medicinal chemists and be used for elaborate synt...

A one-pot three-component cascade reaction proceeds by way of a Lewis acid-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation/Nazarov cyclization/electrophilic fluorination sequence to afford fluorinated 1-indanone derivatives in moderate to good yields with high diastereoselectivities.

An efficient synthetic method for producing indolizines through a tandem Pd-catalyzed selective allenyl cross-coupling reaction using organoindium reagents and cycloisomerization was developed in a one-pot process.

A sequential Pd-mediated multi-component reaction followed by Suzuki or Heck or Sonogashira coupling in a single pot has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized pyrroles as potential inhibitors of PDE4.

One-pot Knoevenagel self-condensation reaction of β-formyl BODIPY dye bearing a formyl group at 2-position offered dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric BODIPY dyes containing a formyl capping end group, exhibiting panchromatic absorption.

A palladacycle-catalyzed tandem Heck-intramolecular aza-Michael reaction protocol has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of 1-substituted isoindolines from N-unprotected 2-bromobenzylamines and acrylates with high yields.

Herein, we describe a practical, one-pot variant of the sulfo-click reaction, in which 9-fluorenylmethyl-protected thioesters are rapidly deprotected and reacted further with sulfonylazides to give N-acyl sulfonamides.

A straightforward method for the preparation of ynones from acyl chlorides and potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts has been developed. The one-pot reaction proceeds rapidly in the presence of a Lewis acid without exclusion of air and moisture.

An efficient one pot coupling of aldehydes, dimedone, ammonium acetate and ethyl acetoacetate by using catalytic amount of enneamolybdomanganate(IV) is reported. Various polyhydroquinoline derivatives have been prepared in high yields and comparatively less reaction time.
