A novel class of diastereoselective spiropyrrolidine-oxindole derivatives were synthesized from isatin, 2-phenylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid and chalcone in a one-pot multicomponent reaction via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The advantages of this methodology are the mild reaction conditions, high diastereoselectivity and high yield. These derivatives exhibited promising anti-cancer activity against the human breast cancer cell lines.
We have demonstrated the first ligand free CuI-nanoparticle catalyzed N-arylation of amides/cyclic amides in an ethylene glycol/2-propanol solvent system under mild conditions. This is further extended for one pot synthesis of benzimidazole, and quinazolinone via intermolecular amidation followed by cyclization.
In recent years, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 4H-1,4-benzothiazines and their sulfone derivatives have gained momentum due to their medicinal and industrial importance. Our studies focused on the design and synthesis of new antimicrobial agents, and for this purpose a series of novel 4H-1,4-benzothiazines and their sulfone derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro antimicrobial assessment was carried out against a representative panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains and selected fungi species. The reported 4H-1,4-benzothiazines were prepared by condensation followed by oxidative cyclization of substituted 2-aminobenzenethiols with compounds containing active methylene groups. It is believed that the reaction proceeds via intermediary of the enaminoketone system. The sulfone derivatives were synthesized by oxidation of 4H-1,4-benzothiazines using 30% hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid. Structure determination was done by spectral and elemental investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
