An efficient synthesis methodology for a series of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines substituted at the 5- and 7-positions from the cyclocondensation reaction [CCC + NCN] was developed. The NCN corresponds to 5-aminotetrazole and CCC to β-enaminone. Two distinct products were observed in accordance with the β-enaminone substituent. When observed in solution, the compounds can be divided into two grou...

We reported herein efficient green procedures for the synthesis of arene-linked bis(azoles) and bis(azines) using bis(enaminone) as a key intermediate. For this purpose, were reacted with different nucleophiles under pressurized reaction “Q-tube system” to afford target bis(azines). The structures compounds confirmed via considering their elemental analyses well spectral data. used protocol sho...

Phthalimide reacted with phenacyl bromide under microwave irradiation to yield phenacyl isoindolidene-1,3-dione (3b), while 3a reacted with phenylhydrazine to yield the phenylhydrazone 4 that was readily converted into indoylphthalimide 8. Similarly N-benzotriazolylacetone (6a) reacted with phenyl hydrazine to yield the phenylhydrazone 7a that was converted into indoylbenzotriazole 9. Treatment...

The subject of this thesis is the development of a potentially simple, general and economical synthetic protocol for the potent antimalarial alkaloid febrifugine (1) and its analogues. In Chapter 1, the interesting history of 1, which includes a description of several reported total syntheses of 1, is discussed. Natural products derived from 1, as well as promising synthetic derivatives that di...

The present work reports the synthesis of some enaminone derivatives bearing the biologically active 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl (3) or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moieties (5 and 7), respectively. The trimethoxybenzene moiety has been previously reported to confer cytotoxic activity. However, we found that, at high micromolar concentrations, the new compounds have the ability to weakly induce the cytoprote...

Enaminone 1 was reacted with hydrazonoyl halides 2a-d to yield 3,4-disubstituted pyrazoles 6a-d. Coupling with arenediazonium chlorides afforded the 2-(arylhydrazono)-3-(1-naphthalenyl)-3-oxopropionaldehydes 13a-c. Compounds 13 could be utilized for the synthesis of a variety of arylpyrazoles, arylazolopyrimidines, and pyridazinones via reaction with hydrazines, aminoazoles, and active methylen...

A series of N-substituted 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate esters has been prepared in two steps from ethyl 2-(2-chloronicotinoyl)acetate. Treatment of the b-ketoester with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) gave a 95% yield of the 2-dimethylaminomethylene derivative. Subsequent reaction of this b-enaminone with primary amines in DMF at 120C fo...

A 21-mer peptide that can be used to covalently introduce synthetic molecules into proteins has been developed. Phage-displayed peptide libraries were subjected to reaction-based selection with 1,3-diketones. The peptide was further evolved by addition of a randomized region and reselection for improved binding. The resulting 21-mer peptide had a reactive amino group that formed an enaminone wi...
