The Reformatsky reaction is the well-recognized carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction of α-halo esters with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of Zn metal to give β-hydroxy esters. Recently, it has been reported that Rhand Ni-catalyzed Reformatsky reaction, in which R2Zn (R = Me, Et) acts as the Zn source, reacted smoothly with carbonyl compounds and imines. Taking advantage of N-methylephedrin...

a facile and efficient one-pot three-step process for the synthesis of 5-acetyl-2-imino-4-methylthiazoles via the cyclocondensation of 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone with various hydrazine or hydrazide derivatives in etoh has been developed. 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone itself has been synthesized as the intermediate from substitution reaction of thiocyanate with 3-chloroacetylacetone. better results...

an electroorganic reaction for the synthesis of 7-amino-2, 4-dioxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1h-pyrano[2, 3-d] pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile and ethyl-7-amino-2, 4-dioxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1h-pyrano[2, 3-d] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives are described, using an electrogenerated base of the anion of malonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate. this one-pot, three-component condensation of an a...

an efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro-oxindolopyrrolizidines with highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and optically pure active cinamoyl oxazolidinone are described. the process occurs at room temperature in aqueous ethanol as green solvent and in the absence of any bidentate chelating...

We developed a one-pot, two-stage synthetic route to substituted 4-aminoquinolines involving an imidoylative Sonogashira coupling followed by acid-mediated cyclization. This three-component reaction affords pharmaceutically valuable 4-aminoquinolines in a one-pot procedure from readily available starting materials. The reaction tolerates various substituents on the arene as well as the use of s...
