Guanine‐La complex supported onto SBA‐15: A novel efficient heterogeneous mesoporous nanocatalyst for one‐pot, multi‐component Tandem Knoevenagel condensation–Michael addition–cyclization Reactions

Copper(II) Schiff-Base Complex Modified UiO-66-NH2(Zr) Metal-Organic Framework Catalysts for Knoevenagel Condensation-Michael Addition-Cyclization Reactions

The synthesis of five- and six-membered oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been regarded as the most fundamental issue in organic chemistry and chemical industry because they are used in producing high-value products. In this study, an efficient, economic, sustainable, and green protocol for multicomponent synthesis has been developed. The one-pot direct Knoevenagel condensation-Michael addition-cyclization sequences for the transformation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and 4-hydroxycoumarin or phthalhydrazide generate the corresponding dihydropyrano[2,3-c]chromenes and 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-diones over a novel mesoporous metal-organic framework-based supported Cu(II) nanocatalyst [UiO-66@Schiff-Base-Cu(II)] under ambient conditions. Moreover, the [UiO-66@Schiff-Base-Cu(II)] complex efficiently catalyzed the selectively large-scale synthesis of the target molecules with high yield and large turnover numbers. As presented, the catalyst demonstrates excellent reusability and stability and can be recycled up to six runs without noticeable loss of activity. Moreover, ICP-AES analysis showed that no leaching of Cu complex occurred during the recycling process of the heterogeneous [UiO-66@Schiff-Base-Cu(II)] nanocatalyst.

An overview of the synthetic route to the marketed formulations of pyrimidine: A Review

Pyrimidine and its derivatives are a very important class of heterocyclic compounds that show interesting applications in the field of medicinal chemistry. Pyrimidine not only plays an important role as an organic reaction intermediate but also has a wide range of interesting biological activities viz. antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antiprotozoal activity, etc. Numerous methods are available for the formation of pyrimidine derivatives have been reported in the literature. The advantage of pyrimidine as a starting material for different therapeutically potent derivatives has given momentum to this research. This review aims to report the new work on the synthesis of marketed drugs which consist of pyrimidine moiety.

The Synthesis and Chemistry of Quinolinediones and their Carbocyclic Analogs

:

Quinoline-5,8-dione and naphthoquinone nuclei are very important substructures in industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals. These compounds exhibit a wide variety of activities, including activity as antifungal, antibacterial, antimalarial, antineoplastic, anticoagulant, anticancer, antiviral, radical scavenging, antiplatelet, trypanocidal, cytotoxic and antineoplastic agents. Currently, several research articles about the importance of many natural and synthetic drugs containing quinolinequinone have been reported. This review covers the progress in quinolinequinone and naphthoquinone chemistry over the last five decades.
