A simple and efficient three components domino reaction of γ-butyrolactam (2-pyrrolidinone), aromatic aldehyde and substituted thiophenol catalyzed by elemental iodine resulted in the formation of 1-((phenylthio)(phenyl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives. The stability of the synthesized analogues was evaluated in stimulated gastric fluid (SGF) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). In vitro anticanc...

Diphenylphosphinic acid was used as an efficient and simple catalyst for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates by multicomponent Kabachnik-Fields reaction in one pot aromatic aldehyde, aniline diethylphosphite. Three physicochemical factors including amount, time medium temperature were optimized using a full factorial experiment design (FFD). Additionally, quadratic polynomial regression model ...

The rational design of 4-hydroxycoumarins with tailor-made antioxidant activities is required nowadays due to the wide variety of pharmacologically significant, structurally interesting of coumarins and researcher orientation toward green chemistry and natural products. A simple and unique coumarins have been achieved by reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with aromatic aldehyde accompanied with the ...

The effects of a series of ionic liquids, with systematic variations in the cation, on the condensation of an alkyl amine with an aromatic aldehyde were investigated, and the outcomes compared with those predicted based on related reactions. The addition of ionic liquids increased the observed rate constant; the mole fraction dependence of this increase was qualitatively consistent with predict...

The title salt, C13H11N2O2 (+)·C6H2N3O7 (-), is the unexpected product of a domino reaction of 3-cyano-methyl-1-methyl-imidazolium chloride with salicylic aldehyde in the presence of picric acid. In the cation, the 1H-imidazole ring is twisted by 63.2 (1)° from the 2H-chromen plane. In the crystal, cations and anions are alternately stacked along the a axis through π-π stacking inter-actions be...

The title compound, C17H24N2O3S, was synthesized in order to determine the relative configuration of the corresponding β-keto aldehyde. In the U-shaped mol-ecule, the five-membered ring approximates an envelope with the methyl-ene atom adjacent to the quaternary C atom being the flap. The dihedral angles between the four nearly coplanar atoms of the five-membered ring and the flap and the aroma...

Benzyl and chlorobenzyl substituted 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole imine derivatives have been prepared by refluxing aromatic aldehyde imine derivatives and benzyl chloride/ 4-chloro benzyl chloride in ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The structures of the compounds have been determined by spectral and chemical methods. The anticonvulsant activity has been carried out using Karl et al. method. All the repor...

The development of a reagent-impregnated paper strip test for niacin is described. The test system is based on the formation of cyanogen chloride by the reaction of chloramine-T and potassium thiocyanate in the presence of citric acid. Rupture of the pyridine ring of niacin by cyanogen chloride yields gamma-carboxy glutaconic aldehyde and coupling with a primary aromatic amine produces a yellow...

Abstract Citral is a key component of lemon scented essential oils. In our aromatic plant breeding programs it is necessary to rapidly screen hundreds of samples for their citral content. The current method based on GLC analysis is expensive and time consuming. Here, we describe a colorimetric method for citral determination based on the Schiff’s reaction of citral. The method is rapid, reprodu...
