an efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (csa) under solvent free conditions is described. the corresponding michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against e. coli, s. aureus and an...

A facile, six-step process for the synthesis of (3S,5S)-3-isopropyl-5-((2S,4S)-4-isopropyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2yl)-2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester from (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one 2 in an overall 50% yield is reported. The key transformations include: a highly efficient diastereoselective epoxidation, Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening with bromide, an SN2 reaction using N...

The pyrazine ring is a part of many polycyclic compounds of biological and/or industrial significance; examples are quinoxalines, phenazines, and bio-luminescent natural products pteridines, flavins and their derivatives. All these compounds are characterized by a low lying unoccupied π-molecular orbital and by the ability to act as bridging ligand. Due to these two properties 1,4-diazines, and...
