Synthesis of ( 4 S )‐ 4‐ C ‐spiro‐glycosyl‐chromeno‐[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazoles: Biological evaluation and molecular docking investigation

Synthesis and Characterization of New Spirooxindoles Including Triazole and Benzimidazole Pharmacophores via [3+2] Cycloaddition Reaction: An MEDT Study of the Mechanism and Selectivity

A new series of spirooxindoles based on benzimidazole, triazole, and isatin moieties were synthesized via a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction protocol in one step. The single X-ray crystal structure of the intermediate triazole-benzimidazole 4 was solved. The new chemical structures of these spirooxindole molecules have been achieved for the first time. The final synthesized chemical architecture has differently characterized electronic effects. An MEDT study of the key 32CA reaction between in situ generated azomethine ylide (AY) and chalcones explained the low reaction rates and the total selectivities observed. The supernucleophilic character of AY and the strong electrophilicity of chalcones favor these reactions through a highly polar two-stage one-step mechanism in which bond formation at the β-conjugated carbon of the chalcones is more advanced. The present combined experimental and theoretical study reports the synthesis of new spirooxindoles with potential biological activities and fully characterizes the molecular mechanisms for their formation through the key 32CA reaction step.

A green metal-free "one-pot" microwave assisted synthesis of 1,4-dihydrochromene triazoles

The synthesis of several 4-aryl-1,4-dihydrochromene-triazoles was achieved via a metal-free "one-pot" procedure using PEG400 as the sole solvent in an eco-friendly process. Using microwave irradiation, the triazole derivatives were obtained in good yields and short reaction times starting from readily accessible building blocks.
