The one-pot three-component reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole, benzaldehyde derivatives and β-ketoester, β-diketone or malonate derivatives in solvent-free conditions provides the corresponding pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives at 60 ̊C in 60% 72% yields without using any catalyst in an optimistic time.

A series of novel 1,4diazepines have been synthesized from β-diketones / β-ketoesters of 4acetylaminobenzene sulphonyl chloride. Desired compounds were prepared by the reaction of novel βdiketone / β-ketoester derivatives of [N4-(4acetylamino) benzene sulphonyl piperazinylN1-1bromopropane] with ethylenediamine to get 1, 4dizapines. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized with IR ...

Oxovanadium(v)-induced dl-selective oxidative coupling of (Z)-boron enolate was demonstrated to give the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted 1,4-diketone in a good yield. High selectivity (up to 94 : 6) was attained when the reaction was performed with VO(OPr-i)2Cl at -30 °C.

A carbazole-based triple bridging ligand (LH) consisting of two imidazole moieties at 3,6 positions with a diketone unit at the carbazole nitrogen forms carbazole-bridged zinc(II) complexes with structures of [(L(-))4(Zn(2+))n] (n = 2-6), where the strength of aromatic stacking interactions between the carbazole rings increases with an increase in the number of Zn(2+) ions bridged by the imidaz...

The pathway for the combination of enones and beta-S-substituted aldehydes using Rh-catalysis can be switched between a hydroacylation reaction or a reductive aldol reaction by simple choice of the phosphine ligand; this catalyst controlled switch allows access to new ketone hydroacylation products; useful 1,4-diketone intermediates for the synthesis of N-, S- and O-heterocycles.

Hole mobility was evaluated by top-contact bottom gate field effect transistor and time resolved microwave conductivity measurements in 2,6-dithienylanthracene and hexyl-substituted 2,6-dithienylanthracene films prepared by spin-coating of their α-diketone precursors followed by photoirradiation, revealing enough high potentials for semiconducting films with charge carrier mobilities of 0.8-0.9...

We report a liquid-liquid extraction system based on perfluorocarbon (fluorous-solvent extraction) that allows selective extraction of metal ions from aqueous and organic phases to a perfluorocarbon phase (FC-72) with perfluorinated beta-diketone (1,1,1,5,5,6,6,6-octafluoro-2,4-hexanedione), which can be followed by backward extraction using 1 M nitric acid.

2-Methylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([2-MPyH]OTf) catalyzed synthesis of 1,5benzodiazepine and quinoxaline derivatives in the reaction of between o-phenylenediamine and ketone (synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives) or 1,2-diketone (synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives) in high yields and short time reaction. The catalyst can be separated from the products by a change in the solv...
