Synthesis of 5H-spiro[furan-2,2′-indene]-1′,3′,5-triones from tetrahydro-4-oxoindeno[1,2-b]pyrroles

A simple approach to assembling of functionalized spiro-butenolide-indenetriones from oxoindeno[1,2-b]pyrrole derivatives in the presence of H2SO4 is described. Simplicity of the procedure, short reaction time and excellent yields are important features of this protocol.

One-Pot Synthesis of Thiazolo[3,4-a]Quinoxalines from 1,2-Diamines, Aryl Isothiocyanates and Ethyl Bromopyruvate

Some hitherto unreported thiazolo[3,4- a]quinoxaline derivatives have been synthesised in excellent yields via a one-pot, three-component reaction of benzene-1,2-diamines, ethyl bromopyruvate and aryl isothiocyanates in MeCN, for the first time. The protocol avoids the use of any catalysts or chromatographic separations and provides a wide range of novel thiazolo[3,4- a]quinoxalines.

Preparation of 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-diones using ZrO2 nanoparticles as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions

Zirconium oxide nanoparticles are an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 1
