The expeditious synthesis of 2-aryl-benzothia/(oxa)zoles was carried out by the condensation of 2-aminothiophenol/2-aminophenol and diverse aryl aldehydes in presence of Acacia concinna as a biocatalyst under microwave irradiation. The catalytic process is associated with excellent yields, greener reaction conditions and the environmentally friendly microwave technique which are the st...

a convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl or alkyl-14h-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by condensation of 2-naphthol and aldehydes in the presence of methylimidazolium hydrogensulfate, as a brönsted acidic ionic liquid ([hmim]hso4), is described. both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes reactedeasily to afford the corresponding 14-aryl or alkyl-14h-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes in good yield...

A one-pot transition metal-free methodology for constructing pharmacologically active dibenzodiazepine derivatives was developed. Fluoro-, bromo- and nitro-substituted aryl aldehydes were applied to this reaction efficiently.

A new, highly enantio- and diastereoselective catalytic asymmetric formal cycloaddition of aryl succinic anhydrides and aldehydes which generates paraconic acid (γ-butyrolactone) derivatives is reported.

The catalytic enantioselective allylation of aldehydes is a long-standing problem of considerable interest to the chemical community. We disclose a new high-yielding and highly enantioselective chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed allylboration of aldehydes. The reaction is shown to be highly general, with a broad substrate scope that covers aryl, heteroaryl, alpha,beta-unsaturated, and aliphatic ald...

Chiral C₂-symmetric diamines have emerged as versatile auxiliaries or ligands in numerous asymmetric transformations. Chiral 2,2'-bispyrrolidine-based salan ligands were prepared and applied to the asymmetric aryl transfer to aldehydes with arylboronic acids as the source of transferable aryl groups. The corresponding diarylmethanols were obtained in high yields with moderate to good enantiosel...

The Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts bearing a nitroxyl moiety were synthesized from 4-acryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl and aliphatic, aryl and heterocyclic aldehydes.

The first organocatalyzed multicomponent domino reactions of aryl ketones, aldehydes and malononitrile were carried out successfully to afford multisubstituted cyclohexa-1,3-dienamines in satisfactory yields.

Abstract N-Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines are obtained via a convenient and short protocol with broad range of substituents on both aromatic rings high functional group tolerance. Starting from readily available ortho-brominated aldehydes primary amines, condensation these building blocks under reductive conditions gives N-aryl 2-bromobenzylamines. The C-3/C-4-unit the tetrahydroisoquinol...

Nano TiO2 supported on SiO2 (Nano TiO2@SiO2) as a solid Lewis acid, was described to be an effective and reusable catalyst for one-pot three-component reaction of benzil, aryl aldehydes and ammonium acetate for the synthesis 2-aryl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imdazoles synthesis. To explore the high efficacy of the catalytic system the four-component cyclization of benzil, aryl aldehydes, ammonium acetate ...
