an extremely facile and efficient procedure which has been developed for the synthesis of dihydropyrrol-2-ones. one-pot four-component reaction of amines, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and formaldehyde in the presence of n,n,n,n-tetramethylguanidinium acetate [tmg][ac] in methanol at ambient temperature provides substituted dihydropyrrol-2-ones in good to high yields. the important aspects of...

antioxidants act as free radical scavengers in the oxidation processes. thus, they will certainly play diverse roles in the biological systems and the therapy of a wide variety of diseases. regarding this fact, in the present study, we synthesized two new salen ligand compounds by the condensation of ethylendiamine and salicylaldehyde derivatives in excellent yields.the structures of these liga...
