Brønsted acid-promoted domino reactions: a novel one-pot three-component synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3-oxazines

Application of Multi-component Reaction in the Synthesis of Heterocyclic [3.3.3] Propellane Derivatives

Abstract:

Propellanes and derivatives have attractive properties due to their unique structure. Therefore, [3.3.3] propellanes, containing tricyclic structures with one of the carbon-carbon bonds common in three rings, were used in natural products, pharmaceutical compounds, and heterocyclic compounds, which were biologically important. The various multi-component reactions were applied in the synthesis of propellanes, which were highlighted throughout this review

New frontiers in the transition-metal-free synthesis of heterocycles from alkynoates: an overview and current status

This review highlights the successful utilization of transition-metal-free approaches for the modular assembly of various heterocycles from alkynoates.

(+)-CSA Catalyzed Multicomponent Synthesis of 1-[(1,3-Thiazol-2-ylamino)methyl]-2-naphthols and Their Ring-Closure Reaction under Ultrasonic Irradiation

New 1-[(1,3-thiazol-2-ylamino)methyl]-2-naphthols were obtained by condensation of 2-aminothiazole, aromatic aldehydes, and 2-naphthol in the presence of (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid ((+)-CSA) as an effective catalyst under ultrasound-promoted solvent-free conditions. The 1-[(1,3-thiazol-2-ylamino)methyl]-2-naphthol derivatives were converted in ring-closure reaction with formaldehyde to the corresponding naphthoxazine derivatives.

Efficient synthesis of functionalized spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridines] via one-pot three-component reaction

Diverse functionalized spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridines] were efficiently synthesized by the three-component reaction of 3-arylamino-1-methyl-H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, isatins and malononitrile (ethyl cyanoacetate) in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine. This reaction not only provided a convenient synthetic method for the construction of a versatile spirooxindole system, but also access to reactive β-enaminone and its derivatives for organic and medical chemistry.

Facile synthesis of functionalized tetrahydroquinolines via domino Povarov reactions of arylamines, methyl propiolate and aromatic aldehydes

In the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst the domino reaction of arylamines, methyl propiolates and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol proceeded smoothly to give polysubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in moderate yields. The reaction is believed to involve the Povarov reaction of in situ generated β-enamino ester with the in situ formed aromatic imine.

Multicomponent reactions for the synthesis of heterocycles

Multicomponent domino reactions (MDRs) serve as a rapid and efficient tool for the synthesis of versatile heterocycles, particularly those containing structural diversity and complexity, by a one-pot operation. These reactions can dramatically reduce the generation of chemical wastes, costs of starting materials, and the use of energy and manpower. Moreover, the reaction period can be substantially shortened. This Review covers recent advances on multicomponent domino reactions for the construction of five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocyclic skeletons and their multicyclic derivatives.
