The first total synthesis of the marine prostanoids clavulolactones II and III is presented from an easily accessible chiral, non-racemic cyclopentenone intermediate. Key steps involve selective TBDMS deprotection, selective reduction of the β-side chain and aldol condensation. Clavulolactones II and III were successfully prepared from (S)-4-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy) cyclopent-2-en-1-one o...

Nine copolyesters were prepared from a dicarboxylic acid, curcumin analogues (monocarbonyl) and phenophthalene dye in the mole ratio of 2:1:1 by direct polycondensation using triethylamine (Et3N) as condensation agent. The used is 2,6-Pyridine dicarbonyl dichloride acid. acid catalyzed Aldol reaction. These characterized FT-IR. fluorescence synthesized was also investigated. Furthermore, Thermo...

New 2,4-disubstituted 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives containing different functional groups have been synthesized and screened for their antibacterial activity. The 2,4-disubstituted 1,5benzodiazepine derivatives were synthesized by reacting substituted chalcones synthesized using aldol condensation with o-phenylenediamine. QSAR studies of synthesized derivatives were performed. QSAR equation s...

A modular total synthesis of the potent V-ATPase inhibitors archazolid A and B is reported. The convergent preparation was accomplished by late-stage diversification of joint intermediates. Key synthetic steps involve asymmetric boron-mediated aldol reactions, two consecutive Still-Gennari olefinations to set the characteristic (Z,Z)-diene system, a Brown crotyboration, and a diastereoselective...

Nano-graphene oxide was synthesized by the oxidation of graphite powders. The structural nature of the nano-graphene oxide was characterized by a variety of techniques including XRD, TEM, FT-IR and UV/Vis. The functional groups on its basal planes and edges of nano-grahene oxide play important role in catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of nano-graphene oxide was investigated on Crossed-...
