Described herein is a highly enantioselective synthesis of fused piperidine and pyrrolidine derivatives with all-carbon stereogenic centers. The enantioselective reductive amination from C(s)-symmetric 1,3-dione derivatives proceeded in a highly stereoselective manner by taking advantage of the desymmetrization approach to afford fused heterocycles with contiguous stereogenic centers in good to...

A set of 13 alkyl derivatives of 3-phenylpiperidine-2,6-dione were synthesized. Newly obtained compounds were investigated in vitro against HIV-1 and other selected viruses. The benzyl 3f and fluorophenyl 3g derivatives showed moderate protection against CVB-2 and the compound 3g also against HSV-1. Derivatives were tested also for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. The molecular stru...

An efficient and direct procedure for the synthesis of benzo[h]-indeno[1,2-b]-quinoline derivatives has been described. The procedure employs a three-component condensation reaction in one-pot using 2H-indene-1, 3-dione, naphthalen-1-amine,and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of L-prolinein aqueous media.

Enyne alcohols can react as precursors of either dienes or dienophiles with different substrates after hydroxylation and isomerization by gold catalysis. As such, oxa-bridged tricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]-undec-8-ene-3,5-dione derivatives have been obtained by the Diels–Alder reaction and tetrahydro-1H-furo[3,4-c]pyran derivatives could be accessed by the hetero-Diels–Alder cycloaddition.

Condensation of 5,6-diamino-4,7-phenanthroline with glyoxal provides 1,4,5,12-tetraazatriphenylene in quantitative yield. This procedure avoids the 50% loss of product inherent in previous methods. Derivatives were also prepared by using alpha-dicarbonyl compounds other than glyoxal. Additional derivatives were prepared from 1,4,5,12-tetraazatriphenylene-2,3-dicarbonitrile, produced by condensa...

New ytterbium (III) compounds with β-diketones (2,7-dimethyl-octene-1-dione-3,5 and 2,6-dimethylheptene-1-dione-3,5) their derivatives phenanthroline have been synthesized. The composition chemical structure of the obtained complexes determined by several Phy­sico-chemical investigations. It has shown, that Yb ion coordinates three ligand molecules coordination sphere is supplemented two mole­c...

DNA intercalators belong to aromatic heterocyclic compounds interacting reversibly with DNA. These compounds have been used extremely as cytotoxic agents against cancer. In this study, the synthesis and biological activity of some novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione as new intercalating agent were investigated. Twenty novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione...

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...

An efficient and convenient method to synthesize highly functionalized 3,7'-bisindole derivatives has been developed via a Michael addition and cyclic condensation reaction of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) with 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione derivatives in ethanol-based solvents at room temperature. This strategy provides an efficient, environmentally friendly approach for ...

Chiral C(2)-symmetric 3,4-bis-silyl-substituted adipic acid derivatives have been synthesised by a Mg/trimethylsilyl chloride-mediated intramolecular reductive coupling of symmetrical disiloxanes of beta-silylacrylic acid N-oxazolidinone derivatives. Efficient and short syntheses of enantiomerically pure enantiomers of 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione have been achieved from the bis-sily...
