A One-Pot Synthesis of Oxazepine-Quinazolinone bis-Heterocyclic Scaffolds via Isocyanide-Based Three-Component Reactions

Design, synthesis, and computational analysis (molecular docking, DFT, MEP, RDG, ELF) of diazepine and oxazepine sulfonamides: biological evaluation for in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxicity predictions

We report the synthesis and extensive characterization of Diazepane and Oxazepane derivatives, followed by their biological evaluation. These compounds were assessed for in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. Among the synthesized molecules, compound 5b demonstrated remarkable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis with MIC values of 20 and 40 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, 5b exhibited potent anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo. Advanced computational studies, including DFT, MEP, RDG, and ELF analyses, were performed to understand the electronic distribution and molecular interactions. The bioactivity and physicochemical properties of these derivatives were further predicted using PASS and pkCSM platforms, emphasizing their potential as promising lead molecules in drug development.

Conceptual design and cost-efficient environmentally Benign synthesis of beta-lactams

Stereoselective preparation of diverse trans and cis β-lactams following different experimental conditions are executed. A variety of circumstances are critically analyzed. It has been found that the stereochemistry of the products depends on a number of parameters including the conditions of the procedures, composition of the Schiff bases and acid chlorides or equivalents, method of addition of the reactants, temperature of the process and nature of the media. Using some of the compounds and methods as described herein, a number of useful chemical transformations for the preparation of heterocycles are achieved. These methods include indium-catalyzed glycosylation of amino β-lactams, preparation of pyrrole-substituted β-lactams, cycloaddition with sterically congested Schiff bases towards β-lactams, Michael reaction for the preparation of polycyclic oxazepenes and synthesis of two chiral isomers of the thienamycin side chain. Most of the products are obtained stereospecifically and in optically active forms. Many reactions described here are catalytic and therefore, these are environmentally friendly.

Brønsted Acid Organocatalyzed Three-Component Hydroamidation Reactions of Vinyl Ethers

Hydroamidation of carbon-carbon double bonds is an attractive strategy for installing nitrogen functionality into molecular scaffolds and, with it, increasing molecular complexity. To date, metal-based approaches have dominated this area of chemical synthesis, despite the drawbacks of air and moisture sensitivity, limited functional group tolerance, toxicity, and/or high cost often associated with using metals. Here, in offering an alternative solution, we disclose an operationally simple, metal-free, one-pot, regioselective, multicomponent synthetic procedure for the hydroamidation of carbon-carbon double bonds. This method features mild reaction conditions and utilizes isocyanides and vinyl ethers for the rapid and modular synthesis of privileged α-oxygenated amide scaffolds. In unraveling the mechanistic underpinning of this non-metal-based reactivity, we present kinetic solvent isotope effect studies, variable time normalization analysis, and density functional theory computations offering insight into the mechanism of this multistep catalytic hydroamidation process.

The Ugi three-component reaction and its variants

A broad variety of α-aminoamide-based compounds have been synthesized via the three-component version of the Ugi reaction (U-3CR) or by any of its variants (Ugi-Zhu-3CR, Orru-3CR, Ugi-4C-3CR, Ugi-Joullié-3CR, GBB-3CR, Ugi-Reissert-3CR, and so on).

Synthesis of the quinazolinone derivatives using an acid-functionalized magnetic silica heterogeneous catalyst in terms of green chemistry

In this research, the synthesis of the quinazolinone derivatives by the reaction of diaminoglyoxime with anthranilic acid or methyl 2-amino benzoate over an acetic acid-functionalized magnetic silica-based catalyst in water was described. The acetic acid-functionalized catalyst was prepared using a three-step procedure from magnetite NPs that initially coated with a layer of silica through the sol-gel process, modified with an aminosilane layer and functionalized with bromoacetic acid. The catalyst was characterized by means of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, and its activity was investigated for the synthesis of the quinazolinones, bisquinazolinone and oxadiazole quinazolinones obtained from diaminoglyoxime in water at room temperature.
