Straightforward Assembly of Phenylimidazoquinoxalines via a One-Pot Two-Step MCR Process

A straightforward one-pot multicomponent synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles.

Polysubstituted pyrroles were efficiently synthesized in moderate yields by a one-pot multicomponent reaction starting from primary amines, ethyl glyoxalate and 2-bromoacetophenones in the presence of pyridine in refluxing acetonitrile. This methodology was utilized to synthesize a highly substituted benz[g]indole.

Synthesis of enantiopure glycidol derivatives via a one-pot two-step enzymatic cascade.

Styrene monooxygenase (SMO) can catalyze the kinetic resolution of secondary allylic alcohols to provide enantiopure glycidol derivatives. To overcome the low theoretical yield of kinetic resolution, we designed a one-pot two-step enzymatic cascade using prochiral α,β-unsaturated ketones as the substrates. An S-specific ketoreductase ChKRED03 was screened for the efficient bioreduction of the s...

Straightforward one-pot synthesis of trifluoromethyl sulfonium salts.

One-pot one-step deracemization of amines using ω-transaminases.

In this study, we developed a one-pot one-step deracemization method for the production of various enantiomerically pure amines using two opposite enantioselective ω-TAs. Using this method, various aromatic amines were successfully converted to their (R)-forms (>99%) with good conversion.

One-Pot Multi-Component Synthesis of Dihydropyrimidinones via Biginelli Condensation

Three-component reactions have emerged as useful methods because the combinationof three components to generate new products in a single step is extremely economical,among the multi-component reactions. A green, simple, efficient, and cost-effective procedure has been carried out by the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinonesin Biginelli’s condensation of ethyl cyanoacetate, aldehyde and urea or thio...
