Oxidized active carbon (oAC) catalyses the formation of polysubstituted quinolines from o-vinyl anilines and aldehydes. The reaction proceeds in a cascade manner through condensation, electrocyclization dehydrogenation, gives access to wide range with alkyl and/or aryl substituents as demonstrated 40 examples. metal-free catalytic procedure allows heterogeneous protocol for synthesis various qu...

The synthesis of the tetracyclic molecule 2-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-propano-anthracen-9-yl)-N-methylethanamine (2) as a homologue of the antidepressant 1-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-9-yl)-N-methylmethaneamine (1) was described. The key intermediate 9-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-propanoanthracen-12-one (7) was successfully synthesized via a [4+2] cycloaddition of alpha-bromoacrolein and...

In the title compound, C(28)H(19)F(2)NO(4), a polysubstituted terphenyl derivative bearing a Michael system, the C=C double bond has an E configuration. Two C-H⋯F contacts connect mol-ecules into inversion dimers. In addition, a C-H⋯π as well as a C-F⋯π contact can be identified. The shortest centroid-centroid distance between two aromatic rings is 3.9535 (8) Å, between one of the para-fluoro-b...

this work described one pot syntheses of polysubstituted 2,6- dicyanoaniline and 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl) malononitrile derivatives in the presence of mgo nanoparticles (nps) under grinding conditions and microwave irradiation, respectively. the simple experimental procedure includes shorter reaction times, higher yields, lower cost and environmental friendliness. other remarkable features ar...

Both the enantiomers of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylic acid are valuable chiral synthons for enantiospecific synthesis of therapeutic agents such as (S)-doxazosin mesylate, WB 4101, MKC 242, 2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxin, and N-[2,4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamide. Pharmaceutical applications require these enantiomers in optically pure...

A novel iron-catalysed tandem cross-dehydrogenative coupling and benzoannulation process was developed for the synthesis of biologically and synthetically important polysubstituted naphthalene derivatives from simple 1,2-aryl-propenes and styrenes in moderate to good yields.

A "green" and practical intramolecular pinacol coupling reaction promoted by InCl 3/Al catalysts in aqueous media has been developed. Under mild conditions, a novel class of polysubstituted cyclopentane-1,2-diols have been obtained with excellent diastereoselectivity.
