A novel multicomponent reaction allowing for a one-pot formation of three carbon-carbon bonds has been developed. It is based on in situ generation and anionic dimerization of methylenedithiane and produces a versatile synthetic equivalent of 4-hydroxy-1,3-alkanediones which, among other things, offers expeditious one-pot access to 3(2H)-furanones.

One-pot synthesis of symmetric 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-diynes from iodoarenes and propiolic acid via Sonogashira reaction followed by Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative homocoupling is developed in high yields. Also, this system allows the one-pot synthesis of unsymmetric 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-diynes by cross-coupling of two different 3-substituted propiolic acids.

A novel, one-pot allylboration-Heck reaction of 2-bromobenzaldehydes has been developed for the general and efficient synthesis of 3-methyleneindan-1-ols. Modification of the one-pot procedure to include chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed allylation has allowed the preparation of these building blocks in high enantioselectivity and excellent yields.

ABSTRACT Knoevenagel condensation of barbituric acids with aromatic aldehydes containing one or two formyl groups was carried out. 5-Arylidenebarbituric acids underwent smooth hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions with enol ethers to afford cis and trans diastereoisomers of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diones and 5,5'-(1,4-phenylene)bis[2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione] derivatives in excel...

Highly selective, narcissistic self-sorting has been observed in the one-pot synthesis of three organometallic molecular cylinders of type [M3 {L-(NHC)3 }2 ](PF6 )3 (M=Ag+ , Au+ ; L=1,3,5-benzene, triphenylamine, or 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene) from L-(NHC)3 and silver(I) or gold(I) ions. The molecular cylinders contain only one type of tris-NHC ligand with no crossover products detectable. Transmet...

The synthesis of 3-methyl-1,4-diphenyl-7-thioxo-4,6,8,9-tetrahydropyrazolo[5,4-b] pyrimidino[5,4-e]pyridine-5-one (6) was achieved by two different one-pot multi-component synthesis (one-pot three-component and one-pot four component synthesis). Mono and dialkylation of 6 under different conditions gave compounds 7-11. The hydrazine 12 produced from reaction of 9 with N₂H₄ was subjected to reac...

[reaction: see text] The microwave-mediated three-component reaction of acyl bromide, pyridine, and acetylene is catalyzed by basic alumina to give corresponding indolizines in excellent yields in a one-pot reaction.

one-pot synthesis of pyrrole derivatives via reaction between activated carbonyl compounds, primary amines and 1,3-dicarbonyls under solvent-free conditions is described‎.

One of the important Multi-component reaction (MCRs) is the synthesis of dihydropyrano chromene derivatives by one-pot reaction. In this research, an inexpensive and effective one pot three component procedure with good yields for the synthesis of dihydro pyrano chromenes is reported. In this method, the synthesis of pyrano chromene derivatives was followed by using 4-hydroxycoumarin, malononit...

A diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted aminobicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes has been attained using a one-pot multi-bond forming process. A four-step synthetic route was developed for the efficient synthesis of a series of C-7 substituted hept-2-en-6-yn-1-ols. These compounds were then investigated as substrates for a one-pot, three-step tandem process involving a palladium(ii)-catalysed Ov...
