Because of the significant role in biological processes in living cells and the diverse types of physiological activities, heterocyclic compounds are in focus of intense investigations by academic, industry and applied-oriented chemists. Considerably, ascientific renaissance of heterocycles during the last decades is closely related to the development of multicomponent approaches to their s...

The method of electric arc synthesis photoactive multicomponent composite microparticles on the example a ZnO/TiO2/Nb2O5 system using low-temperature plasma generator is proposed. Morphology and structural-phase composition synthesized have been studied. Sold monstrated their record high photocatalytic activity (speed constant 128.6 · 10 − 3 min 1) combined irradiation with ultraviolet visible ...

In this study, silica nanoparticles were used as support to prepare a new heterogeneous catalyst system for application in organic reactions. The reaction of silica nanoparticles with sodium 2-bromoethane-1-sulfonate resulted in the connection of a sulfonic acid group on the surface of silica nanoparticles (NSESA). The synthetic catalyst system was characterized using different microscopic and ...

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyanopyridines from aldehydes, ketones, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate via one-pot reaction is reported. Zinc zirconium phosphate (ZPZn) nanoparticles were used as a convenient and efficient catalyst for this multicomponent reaction (MCR) under solvent-free conditions, and fair to excellent yields were achieved. The catalyst w...

A solution phase synthesis of peptide nucleic acid monomers and dimers was developed by using microwave-promoted Ugi multicomponent reactions. A mixture of a functionalized amine, a carboxymethyl nucleobase, paraformaldehyde and an isocyanide as building blocks generates PNA monomers which are then partially deprotected and used in a second Ugi 4CC reaction, leading to PNA dimers. Conformationa...

This review covers sixty original publications dealing with the application of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) in the synthesis of novel nucleoside analogs. The reported approaches were employed for modifications of the parent nucleoside core or for de novo construction of a nucleoside scaffold from non-nucleoside substrates. The cited references are grouped according to the usually recognized ...

A microwave-assisted, multicomponent protocol for the synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydroquinazolinones via a novel cascade imine/cyclization/aza-Henry reaction sequence is reported. Starting from o-formyl carbamates, a series of structurally diverse 3,4-dihydroquinazolinones was synthesized via a cyclic iminium ion intermediate in moderate to excellent yields. Notably, the reaction is fast, f...
