Heteroannulation Routes to Bioactive Pyrazolooxazines

The most Recent Compilation of Reactions of Enaminone Derivatives with various Amine Derivatives to Generate Biologically Active Compounds

Heterocyclic derivatives serve as the fundamental components of both natural and synthetic drugs. Enaminones play a crucial role as foundational units in the synthesis of numerous bioactive heterocyclic compounds, including pyrazoles, pyridines, oxazoles, isoxazoles, as well as fused heterocyclic structures like indoles, carbazoles, quinolines, acridines, and phenanthridines. These diverse heterocyclic rings are well-known for their various therapeutic activities, encompassing anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidepressant, and antiviral properties. By reacting with nitrogenbased nucleophiles, enaminones can generate bioactive azoles, azines, and their fused systems. This study focuses on the recent advancements in enaminone reactions with (a) nitrogen-based nucleophiles, such as aliphatic amines, derivatives of aniline, heterocyclic amines, hydroxylamine, hydrazine derivatives, guanidine derivatives, urea, and thiourea derivatives, and (b) nitrogen-based electrophiles, such as diazonium salts. These reactions have led to the synthesis of a wide range of bioactive fused heterocyclic compounds from 2010 to the end of 2022.

Al-Hussain S, E. A. Zaki M, H. Asghar B, A. Muhammad Z. Synthesis of spiropyrazoles under organic and nonorganic catalysis

Abstract:

Spiropyrazoles display many biological biological activities such as antitumor, vasodilation, analgesic, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, aldosterone antagonistic, anabolic, androgenic, anti-inflammatory, progestational and salt-retaining activities and they also exert neuroprotection in dopaminergic cell death. Many efforts have been made to obtain these derivatives with high yield and excellent regio-, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Most of the spiroprazole synthesis methods were proceeded in good to excellent yield in the presence of organic catalysts as for examples squaramide, NHC pre-catalyst, pyrrole derivatives, bis-oxazoline, DMAP, DABCO, thiourea derivatives, DBU, acetic acid and quinoline catalysts. In addition, the inorganic and organo-metallic catalysts have been proven their efficiency in synthesis of various types of spiro-pyrazoles in excellent yield. Thus, in this review we have compiled all citations for the synthesis of spiropyrazoles in the presence of various types of catalysts such as organic, inorganic, and metalorganic catalysts in the range 2020 to 2012. This review article is a useful compilation for researchers interested in the synthesis of spiropyrazole derivatives and will assist them in selecting appropriate catalysts for preparation of their spiropyrazoles.

Inhibitory Activities of Pyrazolo-Oxazine Heterocyclic Derivatives
