Extremely facile and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of alkyl 2,5-dihydro-2-oxo-5-aryl-3-(arylamino) furan-4-carboxylate in the presence of trityl chloride (TrCl) as an organic catalyst in ethanol at ambient temperature. One-pot three-component reaction of aromatic amines, dimethyl and/or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylates and aryl aldehydes offorded the corossponding 3-am...

Alum (KAl(SO4)2 · 12H2O) is an inexpensive, efficient, and nontoxic catalyst used for the synthesis of 2-[3-amino-5-methyl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,5-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]propanoic acid derivatives in aqueous media by the reaction of 3-acetyl pyridine (1), amino acids (2)/(6), and thiosemicarbazide (4) at 80 °C. This methodology offers significant improvements for the synthesis of products w...

Condensation of 3-acetylbenzo[5,6]coumarin (1) with hydrazine-carbodithioate esters and/or thiocarbohydrazide gave the corresponding N-[1-(benzocoumarin-3`-yl)ethylidene]hydrazonecarbodithioate (2a,b) and 1,5-bis[1-(benzocoumarin3`-yl)ethylidene]thiocarbohydrazide (3) respectively. Treatment of 2a with ethanolic ammonia solution and/or amines gave the corresponding thiosemicarbazone derivatives...

3,4-Dihydro-2H-benzo[4,5]isothiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine is a newly identified antiviral agent against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, derived from 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imine (PD 404182). The introduction of the hydrophobic 8-aryl substituent on the benzene substructure improved its anti-HIV activity, resulting in the identification of 6-fold ...

Dihydrobenzo[a]fluorene derivatives have been prepared by a formal intramolecular [3 + 3] cycloaddition of o-alkynylstyrenes bearing a secondary alkyl group at the β-position of the styrene moiety. The process, catalyzed by a cationic gold(I) complex, involves a 1,2-hydride migration as the key step. 6,11-Dihydro-5H-benzo[a]fluorenes could be obtained from the initially generated 6,6a-dihydro-5...

Some aromatic aldehydes are subjected to react with urea (or thiourea) and acetyl acetone in a one-pot Biginelli-type cyclocondensation reaction to give 5-acetyl-4-aryl-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidines 2a-j. Aldehydes with ortho-hydroxy substituent namely salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde undergo Michael-type addition of the hydroxyl-proton to the C5−C6 double bond of t...

The title compound, C(15)H(13)ClN(2)O(3)S, is one of a series of N(1)-benzyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one derivatives, a new class of non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The dihedral angle between the two pharmacophoric groups, the dimethyl-benzene ring and the benzimidazolone ring system, is 88 (1)°, giving a butterfly-like conformation to the mol-ecule. The mol-ecular ...

A new series of substituted quinolones linked to benzothiazole and/or benzoxazole moieties 5a-l was synthesized. 6-Benzoxazol-2-yl/benzothiazol-2-yl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters 3a&b were reacted with hydrazine to give the hydrazide derivatives 4a&b and finally, 4a&b were reacted with different aromatic aldehydes giving the target compounds 5a-l. The benzylidene de...

The genus Boswellia is one of the 17 genera belonging to Burseraceae family. In this study resin of Boswellia carteri birdwoodcollected or purchased from Tehram herbal Market as a food and non-food for chemical analysis. The essential oils of the resins of Boswellia carteri birdwoodobtained by different methods of distillation (water distillation, steam distillation and hydro-steam distillation...

Enantiomerically pure 2-substituted-2,5-dihydro-3-(aryl) sulfonyl/sulfinyl furans have been prepared from the easily accessible carbohydrate derivatives. The orientation of the substituents attached at the C-2 position of furans is sufficient to control the diastereoselectivity of the addition of various nucleophiles to the vinyl sulfone/sulfoxide-modified tetrahydrofurans, irrespective of the ...
