BACKGROUND Derivatives of isoxazolopyridines exhibit diverse biological activity. One method of synthesizing isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines is Friedlander condensation. OBJECTIVES To establish the conditions necessary for conventional and microwave synthesis of new 3,5,6,7-tetrasubstituted isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and their antiproliferative activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS The substrates in the ...

The multicomponent reaction of 2-nitroacetophenone (or nitroacetone), acetaldehyde diethyl acetal, ?-dicarbonyl compound, and ammonium acetate in an acetic acid solution allowed the acquisition previously undescribed 4-methyl-substituted derivatives 5-nitro-1,4-dihydropyridine satisfactory yields. oxidation obtained resulted corresponding 2,4-dimethyl-5-nitropyridines. In addition, for first ti...

The pyridine heterocycle continues to play a vital role in the development of human medicines. More than 100 currently marketed drugs contain this privileged unit, which remains highly sought after synthetically. We report an efficient means to access di- and trisubstituted pyridines in an efficient and highly controlled manner using transient 3,4-pyridyne intermediates. Previous efforts to emp...

The reactivity of the 7-chloro-8-iodo- and 8-chloro-7-iodoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 1a-e diversely substituted on the 2 position, towards Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, and Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reactions as well as cyanation was evaluated. Various methodologies are proposed to introduce aryl, heteroaryl, alkyne, amine or cyano groups in the two positions depending on the nature of the su...

Rate and equilibrium constants for the reactions of pyridines with donor-substituted benzhydrylium ions have been determined spectrophotometrically. The correlation equation log k(20 degrees C)=s(N+E), in which s and N are nucleophile-specific parameters and E is an electrophile-specific parameter, has been used to determine the nucleophilicity parameters of various pyridines in CH(2)Cl(2) and ...

We describe here a convenient and mild procedure for double carbonylation of o-dibromobenzenes with various 2-amino pyridines and naturally occurring amines, thus providing in good to excellent yields N-substituted phthalimides by using this palladium-catalyzed carbonylation procedure. Furthermore, for the first time we have applied the developed synthetic protocol for the synthesis of biologic...

One-pot and facile preparations of 6-(2-hydroxy-5-R-benzoyl)-4-methyl-2-R1- pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 4a-o are described, using the reaction of 3-formyl chromones 1 with 5-amino-1-R1-pyrazoles 2. An enamine-intermediate 2-ethyloxy-6-R-3-(3-methyl-1- phenylpyrazol-5-ylaminomethylene)chroman-4-one 3 was isolated at lower temperatures. Acyloxy-derivatives 5 of compounds 4 were obtained by acylation...

In this study, 1-(5-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethan-1-one, was reacted with Thiosemicarbazide, alkyl carbodithioate and benzaldehyde to give thiosemicarbazone, alkylidenehydrazinecarbodithioate and 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one-1,2,3-triazole derivatives. The 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives containing the 1,2,3-triazole moiety were obtained via reaction of alkylidenecarbodithioate with h...
