a novel catalytic synthesis of 3,3'-(arylmethylene)-bis-(4-hydroxy-2h-chromene-2-one) derivatives from a tandem condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. the reaction occurs in water in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid as catalyst to give the corresponding products in good to high yields. this green approach has several advantages such as sho...

A new Au(III)-catalyzed tandem amination-hydration reaction has been discovered, leading to the formation of α-(N-2-pyridonyl)ketones and heterocyclic analogues in good to excellent yields (14 examples, 48-90%). This reaction demonstrates the unusual use of a heterocyclic sp(2) nitrogen nucleophile in a gold-catalyzed 6-endo-dig cyclization. The tandem process allows rapid access to α-(N-2-pyri...

A PdII catalyst system has been used to successfully catalyse two mechanistically distinct reactions in a one-pot procedure: dehydrogenation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones and the subsequent oxidative Heck coupling. This auto-tandem catalytic reaction is applicable to both batch and continuous flow processes, with the latter being the first example of a tandem aerobic dehydrogenat...

Tandem reaction of 2-alkynylbenzonitriles with a Reformatsky reagent turned out to be a novel and efficient approach toward 1-aminonaphthalene-2-carboxylates. Interestingly, with 2-(3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl)benzonitriles as the substrates, a more sophisticated cascade process occurred to give 9-aminonaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1(3H)-ones in good yields. By using this tandem reaction as a key step, a concis...

We herein describe a simple and metal-free domino methodology to synthesize 2-aminopyrroles from alkynyl vinyl hydrazides. The reaction involves novel propargylic 3,4-diaza-Cope rearrangement tandem isomerization/5-exo-dig N-cyclization reaction. By using this approach, number of with diverse substituents have been prepared.

[reaction: see text] A diastereoselective tandem Stille-oxa-electrocyclization reaction provides access to the core of the diterpenoid natural product saudin. Additionally, this new reaction sequence was extended to the convergent preparation of related polycyclic pyran systems.

Reaction of ethyl (Z)-3-(heteroaryl/aryl)-2-((triphenyl-λ5-phosphaneylidene) amino) acrylates intermediates with 2,3-thiophenedicarboxaldehyde was used in novel Tandem three consecutive reactions: aza-Wittig, imine condensation and electrophilic heteroaromatic cyclization to obtain a series indolizines. A tentative mechanism this reaction is proposed.

The asymmetric tandem oxa-Michael-aldol reaction of salicylic aldehyde derivatives with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral amine/chiral acid organocatalytic system was investigated. The organocatalytic system of (S)-diphenylpyrrolinol trimethylsilyl ether with chiral shift reagent (S)-Mosher acid presented a synergistic effect in the improvement of reaction performance and o...

The tandem Friedel-Crafts conjugate addition/asymmetric protonation reaction between 2-substituted indoles and methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by (R)-3,3'-dibromo-BINOL in the presence of stoichiometric SnCl(4), and is the first example of a tandem conjugate addition/asymmetric protonation reaction using a BINOL·SnCl(4) complex as the catalyst. A range of indol...
