This review describes the first method to prepare imidazolines from aldehydes and 1,2-diamines by condensation and successive oxidation using NBS in one-pot operation. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and can be applied to various aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and 1,2-diamines. The utility of this method is also demonstrated in the total synthesis of spongotine A and the preparati...

(S)-2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[e]pyrazino[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine-6,12(11H, 12aH)-dione was obtained in a three-step, one-pot synthesis, starting from optically pure (S)-2-piperazine carboxylic acid dihydrochloride. Selective acylation of the β-nitrogen atom followed by condensation with isatoic anhydride and cyclization with HATU/DIPEA to a seven-member benzodiazepine ring, led t...

A new one-pot, efficient three-component condensation of dimedone, urazole and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of silica supported sodium hydrogen sulfate as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of novel Triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-1,3,8-trione derivatives under solvent-free conditions is described.

An effective one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidinonoes in solvent free conditions using CuCl2 as an inexpensive and readily available reagent through Biginelli condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea is described. Excellent yields, short reaction times for formation of the products and simple work-up are attractive features of this green prot...

An efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was developed for the Strecker reaction to synthesize α-aminonitriles in the presence of methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Hmim][HSO4]) as an efficient catalyst. These syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes (or ketones), amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild and solvent free c...

An efficient one-pot oxidation/condensation tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from benzylic alcohols and 1,2-phenylenediamine with use of urea-hydrogen peroxide/silica phosphoric acid  as a bifunctional catalyst. This method provides a rapid and efficient access to 2-substituted benzimidazoles.

A highly efficient procedure for the preparation of N,N'-alkylidenebisamides in the presence of BF3.SiO2 as a catalyst is described. N,N'-alkylidenebisamides have been prepared via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of various aldehydes and amides. All of the reactions proceeded in high yields and in moderately short reaction times.

Ionic liquid with multi-SO3H groups was employed as a catalyst for facile preparation of 1,8dioxo-decahydroacridines via the one-pot condensation of various aldehydes, 1,3-diketones with aromatic amines or ammonium acetate. Various aromatic aldehydes were utilized in the reaction and in all situations the desired product were synthesized successfully. The described novel synthesis method propos...
