a facile and efficient one-pot three-step process for the synthesis of 5-acetyl-2-imino-4-methylthiazoles via the cyclocondensation of 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone with various hydrazine or hydrazide derivatives in etoh has been developed. 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone itself has been synthesized as the intermediate from substitution reaction of thiocyanate with 3-chloroacetylacetone. better results...

a series of tri- and tetra- substituted imidazoles were synthesized from benzyl, aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of zeolite as an ecofriendly reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent. the yields are high to excellent and the use of microwave irradiation reduces reaction times to few minute.

The one-pot synthesis of a target molecule in the same reaction vessel is widely considered to be an efficient approach in synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, the characteristics and limitations of various one-pot syntheses of biologically active molecules are explained, primarily involving organocatalytic methods as key tactics. Besides catalysis, the pot-economy concepts presented he...

mgo nanopartticels (np-mgo) in average size between 30—130 nm were prepared by sonochemistry method. some phenols have been converted to ortho-hydroxybezaldehyd by ortho-formylation using mgo nanoparticles and (ch2o)n in xylene and subsequently treated with aqueous nh2oh.hcl, affording the corresponding aldoxime in a one-pot procedure. moreover, this one-pot process, with two transformations, o...

a rapid and efficient one-pot, four-component protocol towards the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives has been developed. the condensation of aldehyde, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in presence of stannous chloride was carried out under solvent free condition to synthesize a variety of polyhydroquinoline derivatives in good to excellent yields. stannous chloride was...

nano tin dioxide was employed as a catalyst for efficient and facile preparation of pyran derivatives via the one-pot three component condensation reaction of various aldehydes with malononitrile and dimedone. chromene derivatives via the one-pot three component condensation reaction of various aldehyde with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin were also synthesized by this novel catalyst. the d...

a series of 2-amino-4-(nitroalkyl)-4h-chromene-3-carbonitriles were synthesized by an efficient multicomponent reaction in aqueous media using dbu (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) as a catalyst at room temperature. mild condition, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure. the cytotoxic activity of target compounds were evaluated against t...
