alkali and alkaline earth metals hydrogen sulfate catalyzed the one-pot three component condensation reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea or thiourea under solvent-free conditions leading to 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones in high yields at 80 °c. our results showed that biginelli reaction not only is ph dependent, but the cation of catalyst plays an important role.

1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (dbh) and benzyltriphenylphosphoniumtribromide (btptb) were used as efficient catalysts for the promotion of the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives (doxos) via a one-pot three component condensation of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the absence of solvent.

The 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds 3-deoxyglucosulose (3-DG), glyoxal (GO), and methylglyoxal (MGO) were measured as the corresponding quinoxalines after derivatization with orthophenylendiamine using RP-HPLC and UV-detection in commercially available honey samples. Whereas for most of the samples values for 3-DG, MGO, and GO were comparable to previously published data, for six samples of New Zealan...

An effective one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidinonoes in solvent free conditions using CuCl2 as an inexpensive and readily available reagent through Biginelli condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea is described. Excellent yields, short reaction times for formation of the products and simple work-up are attractive features of this green protocol.

Bifunctional chiral 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives 1 and 2 catalyze the enantioselective stereodivergent α-chlorination of β-ketoesters and 1,3-diketone derivatives with up to 50% ee using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) or 2,3,4,4,5,6-hexachloro-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one as electrophilic chlorine sources.

The synthesis and the evaluation as organocatalysts of new chiral guanidines derived from benzimidazoles in the enantioselective α-amination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using di-t-butylazodicarboxylate as aminating agent is herein disclosed. The catalysts are readily synthesized through the reaction of 2-chlorobezimidazole and a chiral amine in moderate-to-good yields. Among all of them, those ...

The synthesis of some 1,4-aryldiazines (novel and known dibenzo[a,c]phenazines and quinoxalines) based on the condensation of 1,2-aryldiamines with aromatic 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of lithium chloride as a heterogeneous catalyst is presented as convenient and efficient strategy. This method has advantages such as excellent yields, short reaction times, and simple work-up proced...

A new approach to the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]benzofuran derivatives via reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes is described. The constitution and configuration of the new products have been firmly established by means of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and ab initio (13)C NMR chemical shift predictions.

A highly enantioselective Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroalkenes has been developed that employs a newly developed Ni(II)-(bis)diamine based catalyst. The reaction scope includes substituted and unsubstituted malonates, beta-ketoesters, and nitroalkenes bearing aromatic and aliphatic residues. Ease of synthesis of this complex is noteworthy.
