TfOH-catalyzed synthesis of 3-aryl isoindolinones via a tandem reaction.

TfOH-catalyzed tandem cyclopropane ring enlargement/C-C formation/etherification of alkynylcyclopropanes and 1,3-diketones to cyclobutane-fused dihydrofurans.

A new type of TfOH-catalyzed tandem cyclopropane ring enlargement/C-C formation/etherification reaction between alkynylcyclopropanes and 1,3-diketones to cyclobutane-fused dihydrofurans is described. The reaction tolerates a range of aryl and alkyl substituents with moderate to good yields.

Synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes under solvent-free conditions via Phosphorus pentoxide supported on alumina (P2O5/Al2O3) catalyzed tandem reaction of Aldehyde with dimedone

N-Sulfonylketenimines as Useful Synthons in a Novel Synthesis of Functionalized 2-Oxoindoline Derivatives

The synthesis of a novel class of 2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene-(1-arylhydrazinyl)-2-aryl(alkyl)ethylidene derivativesvia a copper-catalyzed tandem reaction of isatin, arylhydrazines, sulfonyl azides and terminal alkynes is described.

Synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes under solvent-free conditions via Phosphorus pentoxide supported on alumina (P2O5/Al2O3) catalyzed tandem reaction of Aldehyde with dimedone

Phosphorus pentoxide used on alumina (P2O5/Al2O3) as an inexpensive, eco-friendly and non-toxic acid catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes via multi-component reactions under solvent-free conditions. The present approach offers several advantages such as short reaction times, high yields, easy purification, recovery and reusability of the catalyst.

Benign synthesis of N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives via ZnO nanoparticle-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation/intramolecular enamination reaction

An efficient construction of 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes and N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives starting from 2- hydroxybenzaldehydes has been developed. The synthesis of N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-ones is based on the Knoevenagel condensation of dimedone to various 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes, followed by an intramolecular enamination in the presence of 20 mol% of nanocry...
