A series of novel 1-[(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-aryl-¹H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes were synthesized using the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent. The structures of all the title compounds have been confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR and in addition, the structure of intermediate 5b was investigated by X-ray crystallography.

The study of the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent on 4-hydroxyquinaldines resulted in a new versatile intermediate 4-chloro-3-formyl-2-(2-hydroxy-ethene-1-yl)quinolines, which on further treatment with hydrazine hydrate yielded the desired diazepino quinoline derivatives. All the synthesized diazepino quinoline derivatives are screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Cytogenetic analy...

5-Acetoxymethyl- and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-vinylfuran were synthesized by two routes. The first route starts from 2-methylfuran and the second from furfuryl acetate. The latter route, involving successive Vilsmeier-Haack and Wittig reactions, is suitable for producing 5-acetoxymethyl-2-vinylfuran and 5-hydroxymethyl-2 vinylfuran in 68% and 60%yields, respectively.

Design of experiments (DOE) methodology was used to identify and optimize factors that influence the degree of functionalization (polycarboxylation) of WS2 INTs via a modified acidic Vilsmeier–Haack reagent. The six factors investigated were reaction time, temperature and the concentrations of 2-bromoacetic acid, WS2 INTs, silver acetate and DMF. The significance of each factor and the associat...

Benzotiazole and pyrimidine have been reported to act as effective pharmacophores. However, much less work as been carried out on these heterocycles fused with each other. In the present study, we report the synthesis of a series of 8-chloro-3(phenylcarbonoimidoyl)-10a-H-pyrimido [2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole-2-thiol. This series was synthesized by the reaction of 8-chloro-2-sulfanyl-10a-H-pyrimido...

Diverse meso-aminophenyl-, hydroxyphenyl-, and phenyl-substituted heptamethine cyanine dyes were prepared by a modified Suzuki--Miyaura method in good yields. In addition, direct Suzuki coupling of Vilsmeier--Haack reagent extends the procedure to the synthesis of otherwise difficult cyanine dyes containing multiple heteroatoms in the indolium ring. The new compounds possess excellent spectral ...
