Leontidine and camoensine, the main representatives of small quinolizidine-indolizidine alkaloid subgroup, are characterized by an inner bispidine system to which a 2-pyridone pyrrolidine fused on opposite sides. We efficiently synthesized both natural products from commercially available abundant cytisine, was converted into key intermediate, N-Boc-11-oxocytisine, iodine oxidation protection. ...

In this work, some 2-nonsubstituted/2-methyl-/2-(2-acetyloxyethyl)-6-[4-(substituted pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone, derivatives and 2-nonsubstituted/2-methyl- 4-[4-(substituted pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]-1(2H)-phthalazinone derivatives were synthesised by reacting hexan-2,5-dion or 1-aryl-3-carbethoxypent-1,4-diones with corresponding 2-substituted/nonsubstituted 6-(4'-aminophenyl...

A short and robust approach for the synthesis of 2-(hetero)aryl substituted thieno[2,3-b]indoles from easily available 1-alkylisatins and acetylated (hetero)arenes has been advanced. The two-step procedure includes the "aldol-crotonic" type of condensation of the starting materials, followed by treatment of the intermediate 3-(2-oxo-2-(hetero)arylethylidene)indolin-2-ones with Lawesson's reagen...

Tetraarylpyrroles with a 1-azulenyl substituent were prepared by the reaction of 1-azulenyl ketones, which have various aryl-substituents at their α-position, with benzoin in the presence of ammonium acetate as a nitrogen source of the pyrrole ring. Optical property of the tetraarylpyrroles obtained by the reaction was clarified by UV/Vis spectroscopy and/or time-dependent density functional th...

Commercial preparation of furan proceeds by way of the aldehyde, furfural, which in turn is generated from pentose containing raw materials like corncobs, as shown in the uppermost equation below. Similar preparations of pyrrole and thiophene are depicted in the second row equations. Equation 1 in the third row illustrates a general preparation of substituted furans, pyrroles and thiophenes fro...

A new electron-transfer mediator, 5-[2,5-di (thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]-1,10-phenanthroline iron(III) chloride (FePhenTPy) oriented to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent-glucose dehydrogenase (NAD-GDH) system was synthesized through a Paal-Knorr condensation reaction. The structure of the mediator was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, proton and carbon nucle...
