3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones and their derivatives are synthesized via Biginelli routes involving an aromatic aldehydes, ethylacetoacetates and urea in one-pot procedure by using CdS nanoparticles as efficient heterogeneous catalyst in solvent-free conditions. Compared with classical Biginelli reaction reported in 1893, this new method provides much improved modification in terms of simplicity. The...

A Cu(i)-catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of β-hydroxyketones with ortho-aminobenzaldehydes and nicotinaldehydes is reported that produces a range of quinolines and naphthyridines with high efficiency and selectivity. This reaction uses β-hydroxyketones as a regiospecific ketone-protected enolate source via copper-catalyzed retro-aldol Cα-Cβ bond cleavage. The in situ generated copper enolate unde...

The Ni-catalyzed reaction of aromatic amides with alkynes in the presence of KOBu t involves C-H/N-H oxidative annulation to give 1(2H)-isoquinolinones. A key to the success of the reaction is the use of a catalytic amount of strong base, such as KOBu t . The reaction shows a high functional group compatibility. The reaction with unsymmetrical alkynes, such as 1-arylalkynes, gives the correspon...

Phenalenone derivatives were efficiently constructed from 1,8-diiodonaphthalene and tertiary propynols via a one-pot domino reaction which eventually included Pd-catalyzed Sonogoshira coupling, Pd-catalyzed allylic oxidation and Pd-catalyzed C(sp(2))-H activation. Moreover, the synthesized phenalenone derivative presented a practical application as a fluorescent chemosensor for fluoride anion w...

Various N-propargylpyrrole and indolecarboxylic acids were efficiently converted into 3,4-dihydropyrrolo- and indolo-oxazin-1-one derivatives by a gold(III)-catalyzed cyclization reaction. Some of the products underwent TFA-catalyzed double bond isomerization and some did not. Cyclization reactions in the presence of alcohol catalyzed by Au(I) resulted in the formation of hemiacetals after casc...

The technologies for future lithography have been proposed, such as i-line phase-shifting lithography, deep-UV lithography and electron beam lithography. We have proposed several types of chemical amplification resist systems for future lithography. These are based on the change in dissolution rate by acid catalyzed reaction for aqueous development: dissolution inhibitor to dissolution promoter...

A synthetic methodology is reported that functionalizes C60 and C70 fullerenes with dihydroazepine rings by a cascade reaction encompassing rhodium-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,5-bisallenes [4+2] cycloaddition. This transition metal-catalyzed provides versatile step-economical approach to the synthesis 6,7-membered polyheterocyclic fullerene adducts. Electrochemical characterization produc...

A facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1,1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved. The acidified kaolin with sulfuric acid (2 % w/w) catalyzed 1,1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in solvent-free conditions. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes gave high yields (85-95 %) of the corresponding 1, 1-diacetates. Advantages of this method are the use of inexpensive and selective catal...

the surface of sba-15 was modified by diphenylphosphine; then, it was treated with butane sultone and sulfuric acid to obtain brønsted acid ho3s-phosphonium based ionic liquid functionalized sba-15 with hso4- as a counteranion. it efficiently catalyzed synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]chromenone derivatives through the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and chalcones at 60 °c in water/ethanol. good yields,...

Using a readily available form of the mono-phosphine ligand, Gorlos-Phos·HBF4, Pd-catalyzed borylation of aryl chlorides afforded aryl boronates in high yields. A variety of functional groups are well compatible with this palladium catalyzed borylation reaction.
