Multicomponent reactions involving azines (4-methylpyridine, isoquinoline and N-methyl imidazole) and acetylenic ester were undertaken in the presence of CH compound such as 2-furoyl trifluoroacetone(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-thiophen-2-yl-butan-1,3-dione) to generate enaminoesters as stable 1,4-diionic compounds in high yields.

A highly diastereoselective tandem ring-enlargement and aldol condensation process involving multicomponent reactions of ethereal tricyclooxonium ylide intermediate with alcohols, mono- or dialdehydes in the presence of titanium(iv) isopropoxide is described to furnish alkoxyoctahydro-1,4-benzodioxocin-6(5H)-one ring systems.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used as a solvent in organic synthesis and pharmacology because of its low cost, stability, non-toxicity. Multicomponent reactions are powerful synthetic tool for the rapid efficient construction complicated molecular frameworks. In this communication, multicomponent transformation salicylaldehyde, malononitrile dimer, dimethyl malonate DMSO at room temperatu...

The plasma metabolic clearance of biologically active luteinizing hormone (bioactive LH) was studied using the rat interstitial cell testosterone (RICT) bioassay in six hypogonadotropic men after single bolus injection of highly purified human LH and during continuous steady-state infusions of three graded doses of LH. The LH bolus disappearance curves provided estimates of metabolic clearance ...

The synthesis of diversely functionalized thioimidazoles through a modern variant of the Marckwald reaction is presented. This new protocol utilizes unprotected carbohydrates as well as simple amine salts as sustainable and biorenewable starting materials. Importantly it was discovered that a bifurcated reaction pathway results from using aldoses and ketoses respectively, yielding distinct reac...

[reaction: see text] Enamine [2 + 2] cycloadditions can be achieved in useful yields simply by stirring a mixture of an aldehyde, diethylamine, a dialkyl fumarate, and potassium carbonate in acetonitrile at 25 degrees C, conditions that are compatible with the presence of a potential leaving group on the beta-position of the intermediate enamine. Methylation and elimination of the product cyclo...

The multicomponent reaction between proline lithium salt, 2-cyclohexen-1-one and aliphatic aldehydes affords the 4-alkylidene-2-cyclohexen-1-ones, which are interesting fragrances, and bicyclic amino acids that bear four additional stereocenters, obtained as single stereoisomer.
