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.

A method providing a high yield (80–94%) for producing gamma-hydroxy-butanoic acids hydrazides by the interaction of various representatives cyclic esters with 85% hydrazine hydrate has been elaborated. It established that introduction gamma-hydroxypropyl residue into composition results in new biological properties.

[reaction: see text] The one-pot synthesis of new 9-alkyl-6-chloropyrido[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines has been achieved. Hydrazides regioselectively reacted as nucleophiles with the 3-chloro substituent of 2,3-dichloropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine. An intramolecular cyclization afforded the tricycle nonxanthine adenosine receptor antagonists.

A copper-catalyzed domino protocol for the synthesis of 2-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)aniline derivatives has been developed from simple and available isatins and hydrazides. This domino process integrated consecutive condensation, base-promoted ring-opening and the key copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling for intramolecular C-O bond formation.

Facile reactivity of hydrazides and aldehydes was explored as potential coupling partners for incorporation into M(CO)(3) (M = Re, (99m)Tc) based radiopharmaceuticals. Both 'click, then chelate' and 'prelabel, then click' synthetic routes produced identical products in high yields and lacked metal-hydrazide/-hydrazone interactions, highlighting the potential of this click strategy.

A new cascade three-component halosulfonylation of 1,7-enynes for efficient synthesis of densely functionalized 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones has been established from readily accessible arylsulfonyl hydrazides and NIS (or NBS). The reaction pathway involves in situ-generated sulfonyl radical-triggered α,β-conjugated addition/6-exo-dig cyclization/radical coupling sequence, resulting in contin...
