A practical and green approach for the one-pot multicomponent synthesis of fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline derivatives has been described via the condensation of 5- aminotetrazole, dimedone, and various aldehydes using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate [bmim]Cl/AlCl3, as a catalyst and task-specific ionic liquid medium. The catalyst was showed remarkable advantages in compariso...

A new series of spiropyrrolidine compounds containing indole/indazole moieties as side chains have been accomplished via a one-pot multicomponent synthesis. The method uses the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between N-alkylvinylindole/indazole and azomethine ylides, prepared in situ from cyclic/acyclic amino acids. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition proceeds efficiently under thermal conditions ...

Orthogonally protected monosaccharide building blocks have been prepared using TCT in a one-pot multicomponent transformation. The process involves successive steps of arylidene acetalation, esterification and regioselective reductive acetal cleavage. High regioselectivity, scope for using a broad range of substrates, functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, easy handling process a...

The first multicomponent catalytic asymmetric synthesis of spiroacetals has been described. Hybrid molecules comprising a spiroacetal scaffold (a natural-product inspired scaffold) and an α-amino acid motif (a privileged fragment) are easily available through a gold phosphate-catalysed one-pot three component coupling reaction of alkynols, anilines and glyoxylic acid.

A one-pot surfactant-free method has been successfully developed to synthesize Bi(2)MoO(6) boxes using MoO(3) nanorods as templates. A formation mechanism involving the nanoscale Kirkendall effect has been proposed. Our work demonstrates the generic feature of a mild solution-phase-mediated nanoscale Kirkendall effect for the synthesis of multicomponent materials with box-like structures.

Based on consecutive one-pot conditions combining three palladium-catalyzed reactions (Sonogashira, Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions), a more efficient domino multicomponent method has been successfully developed to access a wide variety of 3-(diarylmethylene)oxindoles. Microwave irradiation and use of a silver salt were the most important factors to achieve high yields and stereoselectivity.

The first catalytic asymmetric pseudo five-component (AB(2)C(2) type) reaction is reported. A spirocyclic chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed one-pot multicomponent reaction of aromatic aldehydes, anilines and β-ketoesters and afforded highly functionalized enantioenriched tetrahydropyridines with high levels of stereocontrol.

The paper presents an application of the asymmetry approach to spirooxindoles via Brevicolline, Cinchonidine or Cinchonine catalyzed one-pot multicomponent synthesis. Brevicolline, in comparison with Cinchonidine or Cinchonine, catalyzes the reaction of isatins, acetylacetone/ethyl 3-oxobutanoate and malononitrile, with the formation of spiro[oxindole-3,4'-4'H-pirane] derivatives in an opticall...

A stereoselective one-pot procedure was developed to prepare S-substituted (Z)-enol esters through a base-triggered rearrangement. This transition metal-free multicomponent approach can be performed under an air atmosphere at room temperature, tolerates a wide set of chemical functionalities and generally affords high isolated yields. The (Z)-selectivity arises from the [1,4]-S- to O-acyl migra...

A convenient zinc(II) chloride-catalyzed regioselective propargylation/amination/cycloisomerization process has been developed for the synthesis of substituted pyrrole derivatives from propargylic acetates, enoxysilanes and primary amines. Various aromatic and aliphatic propargylic acetates participate well in the reaction, providing the propargylation/amination/cycloisomerization products in g...
