NitroketeneN,S-acetals: synergistic building blocks for the synthesis of heterocycles

The development of novel heterocyclic compounds from simple and easily accessible starting components is of significant importance in medicinal chemistry. Due to the presence of active chromophores and potent pharmacological activities, nitroketene N,S-acetals have emerged as a fascinating building block in organic synthesis. The synergistic skeleton of these acetals and the presence of electron-donating as well as electron-withdrawing groups lead to the generation of distinctive structural features and are highly useful for building diverse heterocyclic rings. This review highlights the preparation of different nitroketene N,S-acetals and their applications in the synthesis of diverse heterocyclic compounds.

This review highlights the synthesis of several kinds of nitroketene N,S-acetals and their applications in the synthesis of different kinds of heterocyclic compounds.

A facile solvent-free three-component domino synthesis of novel 2,4-diaryl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[j][1,7]phenanthrolines

A simple, efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of novel 2,4-diaryl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[j][1,7]phenanthrolines has been developed via a Krohnke-type one-pot three-component reaction of 2-[arylmethylidene]-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-acridinones and (2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)pyridinium bromides in the presence of excess ammonium acetate in good yields under solvent-free conditions. Good functional group tolerance, high substrate scope and no column purification are the practical advantages of this methodology.

Organocatalytic asymmetric [3 + 2] annulation of 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol with azlactones: access to chiral dihydrothiophen-2(3H)-one derivatives
