An enantioselective hydrogenation of fluorinated hydrazones has been achieved by employing [Pd(R)-DTBM-SegPhos(OCOCF3)2] as the catalyst, providing a general and convenient method toward chiral fluorinated hydrazines. A broad substrate scope including β-aryl-, γ-aryl-, and alkyl-chain-substituted hydrazones worked efficiently in high yields and up to 94% of enantioselectivity. The reductive ami...

In a new variation on the Fischer indole synthesis, readily available haloarenes are converted into a wide range of indoles in just two steps by halogen-magnesium exchange and quenching with di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate, followed by reaction with aldehydes or ketones under acidic conditions. The protocol, which is readily extended to the preparation of indole isosteres, 4- and 6-azaindoles an...

Objective: To evaluate antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of embelin and its derivatives. Methods: In the present study embelin was condensed with various aliphatic substituted primary amines, hydrazines and amino acids to yield seven new and five reported derivatives. All these compounds along with embelin were evaluated for in vitro Original Research Article British Journ...

The synthesis of novel pyrazole derivatives and investigations of their chemical and biological behavior have gained more importance in recent decades for biological, medicinal, and agricultural reasons. Concerning the attempt to synthesize some novel pyrazole and fused pyrazole derivatives from 4-benzoyl5-phenyl-2,3-furandione 1 and various hydrazines or hydrazones, the synthesis of 4-benzoyl-...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(2), reside on crystallographic centres of inversion located at the mid-point of the N-N bond. The benzyl-idene ring is essentially coplanar with the central hydrazine group, with an inter-planar angle of 4.5 (2)°, whereas the phenyl ring is oriented at 34.0 (3)° with respect to the mean plane of the central 1,2-dibenzyl-idenehydrazine group. In ...
