The title compound, C(10)H(11)NO(3), crystallizes with four independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Their geometries are very similar and corresponding bond distances are almost identical. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine moiety adopts a envelope conformation [the displacement of the flap atom (the C atom opposite the N atom) being 0.539 (2), 0.548 (3), 0.509 (3) and 0.544...

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl-transferases (NAMPT) are enzymes that play a role in targeting cancer metabolism, while beta lactamases are involved in bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. Many protein inhibitors exhibit such property which is often correlated with their cellular potency. In order to understand such a phenomenon, the present article conducts an analysis of the dynamic b...

Base catalyzed condensation of enaminoketones (3a,b) with malononitrile yields the respective 7-imino-5[2(substituted)prop-1-enyl]furochromene-6-carbonitriles (4a-d) according to the nature of base used. Compounds (3a, b) condense also with indan-1,3-diketone (5) to give α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (6a) and (6b), respectively. Pyrrolidine-catalyzed condensation of visnaginone (2a) and k...

The reaction of 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-5-pyridine- carbonitrile (1) with arylidene malononitrile afforded isoquinoline derivatives 2a,b. 6-Chloro-4-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyridinecarbonitile (3) obtained by chlorination of compound 1 with phosphoryl chloride was converted into 6-amino-4-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyridinecarbonitrile (4) and 6-hydrazido-4-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyridinecarbonitrile (...
