The combination of lithiated alkoxyallenes with carbohydrate-derived nitrones constitutes a flexible entry to highly functionalized enantiopure 1,2-oxazine derivatives. They can be used as precursors for acyclic and cyclic carbohydrate-like products such as amino sugar alcohols, azetidine and pyrrolidine derivatives. The Lewis acid-promoted rearrangement of 1,3-dioxolanyl-substituted 1,2-oxazin...

Coumarin possesses a number of biological activities like antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anticancer, antimalarial etc. Coumarin belongs to a group of benzpyranes, which consist of a benzene ring joined to a pyran nucleus. In the present study amino derivatives bearing coumarin nucleus are synthesized from 7-hydroxy -4methyl coumarin by using mild catalyst, CAN which i...

A series of fluorinated tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes and dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives have been synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activities have been determined in cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line (A549). Compounds 4g, 4k, 4p showed a very potent activity against MDA-MB...

Herein, we report on our findings of the Sonogashira-Hagihara reaction with 1-iodinated and 2-brominated glycals using several aromatic and aliphatic alkynes. This Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction presents a facile access to alkynyl C-glycosides and sets the stage for a reductive/oxidative refunctionalization of the enyne moiety to regenerate either C-glycosidic structures or pyran derivati...

Novel routes for the preparation of 2-amino-4H-pyran-3-carbonitrile 9, amino-arylbenzoic acid ester derivatives 13a,b, 2-aminotetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile 18, 3-amino-4-cyanotetrahydronaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid ester 26 and 4-amino-3,5-dicyanophthalic acid ester derivatives 37a-c were developed. The synthetic methods utilize one-pot reactions of acetylene carboxylic acid esters, α,β...

The three components one pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo-[b] -pyran derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time by condensing dimedone, aldehydes and malanonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate using a catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as hypervalent iodine in aqueous ethanol under reflux conditions have been discussed. This aqua mediated Knoevenagel-cyclo...
