Divergent syntheses of indolizines and 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles by the silver-catalyzed cyclization of 2-pyridyl alkynyl carbinols with isocyanides are reported. These methods provide an effective route to highly functionalized indolizines and 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles in good to excellent yields. The 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles are synthesized by an unprecedented regioselective [3+2] cycload...

New N,N-disubstituted β-amino acids and their derivatives with thiazole, aromatic, and heterocyclic substituents were synthesized from N-phenyl-N-thiocarbamoyl-β-alanine by the Hantzsch method; derivatives with hydrazone fragments were also obtained. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited discrete antimicrobial activity, and 3-[(4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)(phenyl)amino]propanoic ac...

Efficiency in olefin cross-metathesis reactions is affected upon reducing the steric bulk of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands of ruthenium-based catalysts. For the formation of disubstituted olefins containing one or more allylic substituents, the catalyst bearing N-tolyl groups is more efficient than the corresponding N-mesityl catalyst. In contrast, the formation of trisubstituted olefins is mo...

A series of structurally diverse spiro 1,3-oxazines were conveniently prepared from three-component reaction conjugated imines, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (DAAD), and N,N'-disubstituted parabanic acids in dry dichloromethane without catalyst. Initially, various imines synthesized aniline derivatives with cinnamaldehyde. Subsequently, DAAD N,N'-substituted led to mixture the corresponding s...

N-Benzyl- and N-2°-alkylpyridinium salts were engaged in visible-light-driven, photoredox-induced radical-cationic three-component couplings with N-methylmaleimide acrylonitrile as radical acceptors, combination 1,1-diarylethylenes donor alkenes. These multicomponent coupling reactions could be achieved under mild conditions, high efficiency, to furnish diverse 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidin-2,5-...
