The synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridylboronic acids and pyrazolylboronic esters is described via lithiation-boronation protocols (Schemes 1, 3 and 4). A study of their palladium-catalysed cross-couplings with heteroaryl halides is presented. CF3-substituted aryl/heteroaryl-pyridines are thereby obtained (51-98% yields). Analogous cross-couplings have yielded heteroaryl-3-(trifluor...

The Fe-MCM-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by Fe (III) ion exchange. The prepared cata...

Metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks are porous materials characterized by outstanding thermal stability, high porosities and modular synthesis. Their repeating structures offer a great degree of control over pore sizes, dimensions and surface properties. Similarly precise engineering at the nanoscale is difficult to achieve with discrete molecules, since they rarely crystallize as por...

A series of 1-phenyl-3-aryl-5-(4-(3-propanoloxy) phenyl)-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized from chalcones and studied for their in vitro antibacterial activity. Chalcones i.e.,1-aryl-3-(4hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-ones (1) on reaction with phenyl hydrazine in presence of acetic acid and few drops of HCl yielded the corresponding 1-phenyl-3-aryl-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazoles (2) which on further ...
