Bis(mandelato)borate [B(Man)2](-) (R- or S-) anions are simply prepared and appear widely effective for resolution of racemic cations. Three examples demonstrate their scope; the alkaloid tetrahydropalmatine (THP), 1,2-diaminopropane (1,2-dap) and the metal-organic complex [Co(phen)3](3+) are readily resolved, either by a facile one-pot procedure, or via counter-ion metathesis.

A direct Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization of benzoquinone (BQ) can be controlled to give either mono- or disubstituted BQ, including the installation of two different groups in a one-pot procedure. BQ can now be directly functionalized with aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and cycloalkene groups and, moreover, the reaction is conducted in environmentally benign water or acetone as solvents.

A simple and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol with aromatic aldehyde in the presence of [Et3NH][HSO4] as an acidic ionic liquid catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The reaction work-up is very simple and the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused s...

An efficient one-pot four-component protocol for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazolederivatives has been demonstrated using Y(NO3)3.6H2O as catalyst under mild condition. This isa general synthetic protocol which could be applicable to a wide range of carbonyl compoundsincluding aromatic aldehydes, isatins and acenaphthenequinone. All The reactions proceededsmoothly, ...

an efficient and environmentally friendly procedure for one-pot synthesis of 13-acetyl-9-methyl-11-ox-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo [7.3.1. ] trideca-2,4,6-triene from salicylaldehyde, acetylaceton and urea via biginelli condensation and intramolecular michael-addition by using magnesium bromide as an expensive and easily available catalyst under solvent-free condition is desired. the structural el...

3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-phenyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydroacridine-1,8-(2h,5h)-dione derivatives are synthesized by nano titanium dioxide as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous nano catalyst in a one pot multi component reaction. easy preparation and separation of catalyst, simply workup procedure, clean reaction and reusability of the catalyst up to 7 times without appreciable loss of its catalyt...

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of [Cu(X)(NHC)] (X = Cl, Br, I) is reported. The reaction is applicable to a wide range of saturated and unsaturated NHC ligands, is scalable and proceeds under mild conditions using technical grade solvents in air.

Conditions for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of lithium triisopropyl borates are reported, as well as a procedure for a one-pot lithiation, borylation, and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of various heterocycles with aryl halides. These borate species are much more stable toward protodeboronation than the corresponding boronic acids and can conveniently be stored on benchtop at room temperature.

Multi-ion ionic liquids featuring large numbers of distinct imidazolium cations can be easily and reproducibly prepared in a simple one-pot procedure. The method provides a dramatic improvement in efficiency over the almost universally used approach of mixing pre-existing ILs to make multi-ion systems.

The synthesis of new α,β-unsaturated furanuronic acid derivatives of α-gluco-, β-gluco- and β-manno-chloraloses via a convenient one pot procedure using the Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction approach are described. The dialdofuranose derivatives were reacted with malonic acid under Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction conditions and (E)-α,β-unsaturated furanuronic acid derivatives were obtained.
