Polymer Supported Nitrogen-Bridged Symmetrical Binuclear Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) Complexes and Their Homogeneous Analogues as Potential Catalysts for Efficient Synthesis of 2-Amino-3-Cyano-4H-Chromenes/Pyrans

Reaction of 2-chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole with known intermediates (i-iii), prepared from diaminoguanidine hydrochloride with salicylaldehyde, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde or 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde, in the presence of triethylamine (NEt3) led to the formation of benzimidazole appended new ligands, H4L1-H4L3 (I-III). The homogeneous nitrogen-bridged symmetrical binuclear complexes, [(MoVIO2)2(L1)(H2O)2] (1), [(MoVIO2)2(L2)(H2O)2] (2) and [(MoVIO2)2(L3)(MeOH)2] (3) have been isolated by reacting these ligands with [MoVIO2(acac)2] in a 1 : 2 molar ratio in refluxing methanol. Using 1 : 1 (ligand to Mo precursor) molar ratio under above reaction conditions resulted in the corresponding mononuclear complexes, [MoVIO2(H2L1)(MeOH)] (4), [MoVIO2(H2L2)(H2O)] (5) and [MoVIO2(H2L3)(MeOH)] (6). The binuclear heterogeneous compounds [(MoVIO2)2(L1)(DMF)2]@PS (PS-1), [(MoVIO2)2(L2)(DMF)2]@PS (PS-2) and [(MoVIO2)2(L3)(DMF)2]@PS (PS-3) have been obtained by immobilization of 1-3 onto chloromethylated polystyrene (PS) beads. All synthesized ligands, homogeneous as well as supported compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses and various spectroscopic methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study of complexes 1 and 3 confirms their nitrogen-bridged symmetrical binuclear structures while 4 is mononuclear. Heterogeneous compounds (PS-1-PS-3) have further been studied by microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy along with energy dispersive spectroscopy. These compounds (homogeneous and heterogeneous) were explored for catalytic applications to one-pot multicomponent reactions (MCRs) for efficient synthesis of biologically active 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes/pyrans (21 examples). Optimising various reaction parameters helped in achieving as high as 97 % yields of products. Though, only half equivalent of the binuclear complexes (1-3) was required compared to mononuclear analogues (4-6) to achieve comparable yields, heterogeneous catalysts have an added advantage due to their stability and recyclability. Suitable reaction mechanism has also been proposed based on isolated intermediates.

Diversity-oriented synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives from 2-amine-[1,3,5]triazines with ketones

An I₂-mediated annulation of 2-amino[1,3,5]triazines and ketones for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazines is presented. Electron rich, or electron poor acetophenone and heterocycle ketones, as well as propiophenone, are functionalized with 2-amino-[1,3,5]triazines. Another class of imidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazines tethered with an additional 1,2-dicarbonyl motif through the combination of annulation and C-H functionalization were obtained instead by changing the reaction conditions. The new methods are practically straightforward and applicable on a gram scale.

Applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable substrates in organic transformations, focusing on reaction media

In this review we focus on applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable and efficient substrates to perform various classes of two-component and multi-component organic reactions. The article has classified them according to two aspects, which are: (i) a focus on the reaction medium (solvent-free conditions, aqueous media, and organic solvents); and (ii) an examination of product structures. Reaction accomplishment under solvent-free conditions is an eco-friendly process with the absence of volatile toxic solvents, which puts it in line with green chemistry goals. Water is an interesting choice in organic transformations due to its inexpensiveness and safety. The authors hope their assessment will help chemists to attain new approaches for utilizing alkyl orthoesters in various organic synthetic methods. The review covers the corresponding literature up to the beginning of 2020.

A one-pot synthesis of N 2,6-diaryl-5,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines and systematic evaluation of their ability to host ethanol in crystals

A convenient one-pot method for the preparation of N²,6-diaryl-5,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines was developed using a three-component synthesis of 1,6-diaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines followed by their Dimroth rearrangement to the desired products. The prepared compounds crystallized from ethanol as ethanol clathrates (1 : 1). X-ray crystallography on several products confirmed the adoption of 5,6-dihydro-tautomer. The thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction experiments on selected compounds suggested that thermal desolvation of crystals was irreversible.
