Phthalimide was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to give sulfonic acid-functionalized phthalimide (SFP), which characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray), mass, TG (thermogravimetry) and DTG (derivative thermal gravimetry) spectra. Afterward, its catalytic activity was examined for the condensation of aryla...

Organocatalyst trityl chloride (Ph3CCl), by in situ formation of trityl carbocation with inherent instability, efficiently catalyzes the condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 equiv.) with arylaldehydes (1 equiv.) under solvent-free conditions to afford 9-aryl-1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes in high to excellent yields and in relatively short reaction times. Formation of t...

Biginelli reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, thiourea and the appropriate aromatic aldehyde was used to produce ethyl 4-aryl-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylates, that reacted with bromomalononitrile to give ethyl 3-amino-5-aryl-2-cyano-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates rather than the isomeric 7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines. Thiazolopyrimidine derivative...
