An efficient one-pot synthesis of 1,6-diamino-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives by four-component piperidine-catalyzed reactions of a ketone, malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate and hydrazine hydrate under ultrasound irradiation is described. This method provides several advantages such as shorter reaction times, excellent yields, and a simple workup procedure.

The development of a silica-promoted highly selective synthesis of 1,2 or 1,3-dithioethers via solvent-free one-pot tandem reactions of an allyl bromide with excess thiol at room temperature is described. The choice of silica gel, either pre-calcined or moistened with water, exhibited notable regioselectivity in the formation of dithioethers. Plausible mechanistic routes were explored and postu...

Large polyarenes with unusually complex structures can be obtained in a straightforward manner from commercially available starting materials, by means of aryne chemistry. This approach involves a sequence of tandem reactions that can be performed in one pot to give sterically congested chiral aromatic hydrocarbons that adopt highly twisted conformations.

Herein, we describe a one-pot protocol for the synthesis of a novel series of polycyclic triazole derivatives. Transition metal-catalyzed decarboxylative CuAAC and dehydrogenative cross coupling reactions are combined in a single flask and achieved good yields of the respective triazoles (up to 97% yield). This methodology is more convenient to produce the complex polycyclic molecules in a simp...

A variety of aldehydes reacted with iodine in ammonia water at room temperature to give the nitrile intermediates, which were trapped by addition of hydrogen peroxide, sodium azide, or dicyandiamide to produce their corresponding amides, tetrazoles, and 1,3,5-triazines in modest to high yields. The one-pot tandem reactions were conducted in water media, and the products were obtained simply by ...

Dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridines were synthesized in one pot by reacting 2-acetylaminobenzaldehyde with methyl ketones under basic conditions via four sequential condensation reactions. This method was also applied to the synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines. 6-Methyl-1,6-dibenzonaphthyridinium triflates showed strong fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensities were changed upon intercalation i...

The copper-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of alkynyl carboxylic acids with aryl halides were performed under relatively mild reaction conditions. Benzofurans could be further prepared smoothly by a one-pot domino protocol on the basis of decarboxylative cross-coupling of 2-iodophenol.

Some Chromeno[4,3-b]quinoline derivatives were synthesized in a tricomponents one-pot reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadione arylaldehydes and 4-aminocoumarin under Microwave irradiation in the solventless system by using a heteropolyacid catalyst ,H3[PW12O40] in 80-95% yields and high rates. The shorter reaction times, one-pot, good yields, simple work-up procedure and environmentally friendly conditi...

Ammonia in the tetrazole Ugi variation together with α-amino acid methyl ester-derived isocyanides provides tetrazolopiperidinones in good to high yields in one pot. The scope and limitations of this reaction were investigated by performing >70 reactions. The scaffold is useful to fill high-throughput screening decks and in structure-based drug design.
