Diglycolyl chlorides, commercially available or obtained from the corresponding dicarboxylic acids, have been converted into the corresponding diamides by reaction with a wide range of amines in an organic-aqueous biphasic system (Schotten–Baumann approach) in high yields. Treatment with poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) afforded the pure compounds. Substituted diglycolyl diesters, obtained by coupl...

An efficient and alternative synthetic approach has been developed to prepare various N-(arylethyl)piperazine-2,6-diones from 4-benzenesulfonyliminodiacetic acid and primary amines using carbonyldiimidazole in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMAP at ambient temperature. Piperazine-2,6-diones are successfully transformed to pharmaceutically useful pyridopyrazines or pyrazinoisoquinolines a...

Chiral tetrathiafulvalenes, (R) or (S), or racemic, (R,S), are obtained from a phosphite-mediated cross coupling reaction of a 1,3-dithiole-2-thione derivative bearing one binaphthol moiety, and are transformed into binaphthol-based tetrathiafulvalene ortho-diamides. The X-ray crystal structures of five intermediate chiral 1,3-dithiole-2-one and 1,3-dithiole-2-thione derivatives reveal the form...

N-Substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8) were synthesized through the reaction of amines (13) with 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanoic acid (3b), which was prepared via condensation of 2-(bromomethyl)furan (10b) with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by partial hydrolysis of the resultant diethyl ester (3a) in the presence of barium hydroxide. H...

BACKGROUND Development of pyriproxyfen and neonicotinoid resistance in the B-biotype whitefly and recent introduction of the Q biotype have the potential to threaten current whitefly management programs in Arizona. The possibility of integrating the novel anthranilic diamides chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole into the current program to tackle these threats largely depends on whether the...

A concise synthesis of polycyclic pyrroloindolines from simple malonic diamides via an intramolecular oxidative coupling/condensative cyclization cascade process is reported. The reaction provides an efficient method to construct polycyclic pyrroloindolines in good to excellent yields, which should be useful in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical molecules.

BACKGROUND Multiple applications of pyrethroid insecticides are used to manage European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, in snap bean, but new diamide insecticides may reduce application frequency. In a 2 year small-plot study, O. nubilalis control was evaluated by applying cyantraniliprole (diamide) and bifenthrin (pyrethroid) insecticides at one of three phenological stages (bud, bloom ...

the reaction of tertiary, secondary and benzylic alcohols with different nitriles in the presence of alumina-methanesulfonic acid (ama) as a new reagent affords the corresponding amides in good yields (table 1, 2). conversion of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-halo anisoles into corresponding diamides in the range of 68-76% yields (table 3) are also included in this paper.

vilsmeier several diamide derivatives containing 2-chloroquinoline scaffolds were synthesized via ugi reaction of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxaldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and isocyanides. the diversity of these quinolinyl ugi-adducts was increased by using 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids as a source of acid. among them, compounds 2d, 2n, 2p, 4a, 4c and 4e displayed moderate to good an...
