Nitroenediamines (EDAMs), and N-methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-nitroethenamine (NMSM) derivatives: scaffolds for heterocycle molecular diversity (update from 2012 to 2021)

This review highlights recent heterocyclization of the nitroenediamine derivatives based on catalyst and catalyst-free approaches from 2012 onwards.

Pyrrole-2,5-dione analogs as a promising antioxidant agents: microwave-assisted synthesis, bio-evaluation, SAR analysis and DFT studies/interpretation

A new series of pyrrole analogs were developed via the microwave irradiation synthesis. Consequently, got a high yield of the products. As pyrroles are familiar for showing various biological properties, all obtained compounds were screened for their antioxidant properties, most of the compounds showing significant activity. In fact, the motifs 5e, 5g, 5h and 5m showed outstanding antioxidant properties. Further, to enlighten the biologically energetic behavior underlying the antioxidant activity, compounds DFT studies were performed. Noteworthy results have been attained and the structure activity relationship (SAR) was discussed with the support of this results. It was found that highly biological active compounds exhibited a low HOMO-LUMO energy gap (Eg) and the high Eg value compounds show very low/negligible or inactive antioxidant activities. In other cases, compounds containing high HOMO energy levels also provide high antioxidant activity. The thought-provoking point of our results is that theoretical descriptors of the HOMO-LUMO energy gap and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy are important descriptors in the bioorganic research to support the biological experiments.

Recent Progress in the Synthesis of Pyrroles

:

Pyrrole derivatives are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and widely distributed in a large number of natural and non-natural compounds. These compounds possess a broad spectrum of biological activities such as anti-infammatory, antiviral, antitumor, antifungal, and antibacterial activities. Besides their biological activity, pyrrole derivatives have also been applied in various areas such as dyes, conducting polymers, organic semiconductors.

:

Due to such a wide range of applicability, access to this class of compounds has attracted intensive research interest. Various established synthetic methods such as Paal-Knorr, Huisgen, and Hantzsch have been modified and improved. In addition, numerous novel methods for pyrrole synthesis have been discovered. This review will focus on considerable studies on the synthesis of pyrroles, which date back from 2014.

One-pot, sequential four-component synthesis of novel heterocyclic [3.3.3] propellane derivatives at room temperature

An efficient, one-pot, two-step, four-component reaction for the synthesis of propellane derivatives is described by the condensation reaction between acenaphthenequinone, malono derivatives, primary amines and β-ketoester or β-diketone derivatives in the presence of triethylamine in ethanol at room temperature. Using this procedure, all the products were obtained in good to excellent yields.
