The title compound, C(15)H(16)ClNO(3)S, was obtained by the organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of thian-4-one to 1-chloro-4-[(1E,3E)-4-nitro-buta-1,3-dien-yl]benzene. The double bond has an E configuration and the thian-4-one six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A new and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-7-benzylidene-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-2-ones through Biginelli-like reaction of cyclopentanone, with urea/thiourea and aromatic aldehyde employing p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) as a recyclable catalyst under solvent-free condition. The recovered catalyst was recycled for further runs. The pr...

A facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes has been developed by one-pot Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition and cyclodehydration reaction of dimedone (active methylene carbonyl compound) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Iron (III) sulfate hydrate as a solid acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Various aromatic aldehydes were uti...
