Diels–Alder Polar Reactions of Azaheterocycles: A Theoretical and Experimental Study

Carla M. Ormachea, María Nélida Kneeteman & Pedro M. E. Mancini · Organics · 2022

A number of azaheterocycles (pyridines, pyrroles and indoles) have been properly functionalized so that they can act as dienophiles in cycloaddition Diels–Alder processes. This work analyzed the reactive behavior of these molecules through mechanistic analysis and the regioselect...

Micellar Suzuki Cross-Coupling between Thiophene and Aniline in Water and under Air

Dawod Yousif, Silvia Tombolato, Elmehdi Ould Maina, Riccardo Po, Paolo Biagini, Antonio Papagni & Luca Vaghi · Organics · 2021

The Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction plays a fundamental role in modern synthetic organic chemistry, both in academia and industry. For this reason, scientists continue to search for new, more effective, cheaper and environmentally friendly procedures. Recently, micellar sy...

Ring-Opening of Cyclodextrins: An Efficient Route to Pure Maltohexa-, Hepta-, and Octaoses

Matthieu Pélingre, Dindet Steve-Evanes Koffi Teki, Jamal El-Abid, Vincent Chagnault, José Kovensky & Véronique Bonnet · Organics · 2021

Many preparations of maltooligosaccharides have been described in literature, essentially using enzymatic or biotechnological processes. These compounds, derived from starch, are well-known as prebiotic agents. The use of maltohexa-, hepta-, and octaoses as synthons in organic sy...

α-(Imino)pyridyldifluoroethyl Phosphonates: Novel Promising Building Blocks in Synthesis of Biorelevant Aminophosphonic Acids Derivatives

Oksana Shavrina, Lyudmyla Bezgubenko, Andrii Bezdudny, Petro Onys’ko & Yuliya Rassukana · Organics · 2021

A convenient synthetic approach to previously unknown NH-iminophosphonates bearing 2-, 3-, and 4-pyridyldifluoromethyl groups at the imine carbon atom was developed. The synthetic potential of these novel building blocks was demonstrated by their conversion into highly functional...

The Role of the Catalyst on the Reactivity and Mechanism in the Diels–Alder Cycloaddition Step of the Povarov Reaction for the Synthesis of a Biological Active Quinoline Derivative: Experimental and Theoretical Investigations

Soumia Lamri, Affaf Heddam, Meriem Kara, Wassila Yahia & Abdelmalek Khorief Nacereddine · Organics · 2021

An experimental and theoretical study of the reactivity and mechanism of the non-catalyzed and catalyzed Povarov reaction for the preparation of a 4-ethoxy-2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinoline as a biological active quinoline derivative has been performed. The optimization of ex...

Pd-Based Polysaccharide Hydrogels as Heterogeneous Catalysts for Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols

Oshrat Levy-Ontman, Eliraz Stamker, Vital Mor & Adi Wolfson · Organics · 2021

Immobilization of Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 in various renewable polysaccharides hydrogels, yielded heterogeneous catalysts that were successfully used, for the first time, in the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohol. The new catalysts were easily removed from the reaction mixture and re...

Theoretical Insight into the Reversal of Chemoselectivity in Diels-Alder Reactions of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones Catalyzed by Brønsted and Lewis Acids

Lakhdar Benhamed, Sidi Mohamed Mekelleche & Wafaa Benchouk · Organics · 2021

Experimentally, a reversal of chemoselectivity has been observed in catalyzed Diels–Alder reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (e.g., (2E)-but-2-enal) and ketones (e.g., 2-hexen-4-one) with cyclopentadiene. Indeed, using the triflimidic Brønsted acid Tf2NH as catalyst, the reac...

Esterifications with 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,2,2-Trichloroacetimidate

Wenhong Lin, Shea Meyer, Shawn Dormann & John Chisholm · Organics · 2021

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate is readily synthesized from 2-trimethylsilylethanol in high yield. This imidate is an effective reagent for the formation of 2-trimethylsilylethyl esters without the need for an exogenous promoter or catalyst, as the carboxylic a...

A Novel Catalytic Synthesis of Flavones under Autoclave Conditions and Comparative Study of Anti-cancer Activity

K Rajeshbabu, S Pushpalatha, B Ramakrishna & V Madhavarao · British Journal of Pharmaceutical Research · 2016

Novel, less toxic, more effective catalysts were used to synthesize various flavones under auto clave conditions. Substituted o- hydroxyl acetophenones and benzaldehydes were reacted in-presence of 2, 4, 6-trimethylpyridine, a pinch of TiCl4 and yielded chalcones. Equimolar ratio...
