Solvent-Free Iron(III) Chloride-Catalyzed Direct Amidation of Esters

Direct amidation of esters with nitroarenes

Esters are one of the most common functional groups in natural and synthetic products, and the one-step conversion of the ester group into other functional groups is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Direct amidation of esters is particularly appealing due to the omnipresence of the amide moiety in biomolecules, fine chemicals, and drug candidates. However, efficient methods for dire...

Enantioselective direct aldol reaction of α-keto esters catalyzed by (S(a))-binam-D-prolinamide under quasi solvent-free conditions.

(S(a))-Binam-D-prolinamide (20 mol%), instead of (S(a))-binam-L-prolinamide, in combination with chloroacetic acid (100 mol%) is an efficient organocatalyst for the direct aldol reaction between α-keto esters as electrophiles and alkyl and α-functionalised ketones, under quasi solvent-free conditions, providing access to highly functionalised chiral quaternary γ-keto α-hydroxyesters with up to ...

CuCl2 Catalyzed Solvent-free One Pot Synthesis of Dihydropyrimidinones

Highly efficient one-pot four-component synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives catalyzed by stannous chloride under solvent-free conditions

A rapid and efficient one-pot, four-component protocol towards the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives has been developed. The condensation of aldehyde, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in presence of stannous chloride was carried out under solvent free condition to synthesize a variety of polyhydroquinoline derivatives in good to excellent yields. Stannous chloride was...
