The direct arylation of pyridine substrates using non-precious catalysts is underdeveloped but highly desirable due to its efficiency to access important motifs while being extremely cost-effective. The first nickel-catalyzed C-3 direct arylation of pyridine derivatives to provide a new approach to valuable 1-azafluorene pharmacophore frameworks was developed. This transformation is accomplishe...

Condensation of ethylaceto acetate (EAA) with resorcinol in concentrated H2SO4 afforded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl coumarin (1), which on reaction with thiosemicarbazide in anhydrous pyridine yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-mercaptotriazole (2). Reaction of 2 with formaldehyde solution and amino acid in ethanol yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-(N-methyl-aminoacid)-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-2''-merca...

Various transformations that use a variety of transitionmetal catalysts are covere...

In the present study, some new bis-imidazole derivatives have been prepared through four-components condensation of 2,6-bis (4-aminophenyl)-4-p-tolylpyridine, benzaldehyde derivatives, benzil and ammonium acetate in presence of acetic acid. The present methodology offers several advantages such as good yields, simple procedure, milder conditions and the possibility of introducing a v...

Model tetrahydropyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazines 9a-c were synthesized via reductive lactamization, using sodium dithionite, of the respective 2-[(carboxyalkyl)thio]-3-nitro-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acids 7a-c. The latter derivatives were made via interaction of 2-chloro-7-cyclopropyl-3-nitro-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid (6) with each of al...

Two main modifications of Holmes's method are described. In both the amount of silver nitrate in the impregnating bath is increased, and larger quantities of higher pyridine derivatives are substituted for pyridine. The preferred method for general purposes employs 2-4% 2:6 lutidine at pH 8-4, and gives a bluish picture with improved selectivity of fibre staining. The use of i-6% 2:4:6 collidin...

In a simple procedure, the intramolecular hydroarylation of N-propargyl-pyrrole-2-carboxamides was accomplished with the aid of gold(III) catalysis. The reaction led to differently substituted pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine and pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives arising either from direct cyclization or from a formal rearrangement of the carboxamide group. Terminal alkynes are essential to achieve bicy...

A dinuclear copper(i) complex bearing a mesoionic carbene ligand has been prepared from the corresponding silver analogue and its structure determined spectroscopically. The results revealed that two Cu(i) halide salt molecules were bound to the carbon atoms of the pyridine-bridged bis(triazolylidene) moieties rather than the pyridine. Cyclic voltammogram measurements revealed that the two Cu(i...

New series of pyrimidine, pyridine and thiophene derivatives were prepared by reaction appropriate 3-oxobutanamides with urea, thiourea, active methylene compounds, arylidines, salicyaldehyde, chalcones, benzoylisothiocyanate aminopyrazoles. The antimicrobial activities also studied have been found that; Compounds 2a, 3a, 3c 9 show activity against some bacterial species, whereas, no was observ...
