2-Thiopyridine has been used for the synthesis of 2-pyridones. Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction has been utilized for the transformation of 2-pyridine into 2-pyridones. Reusability of the released dithiol into generation of 2thiopyridine explores reactivity of thiol as a template in synthesis of pyridine core. The present method explores making 2-pyridone derivatives utilizing 2-thiopyridines whereas thiol act as a template for pyridine synthesis.
This work discusses the synthesis of complex small molecules spirooxindoles using imidazole as an efficient organocatalyst. The three components coupling reactions of isatin, malononitrile, and enolizable 4hydroxycoumarin were performed in water as a green solvent. The reaction was done with imidazole, an amphoteric organocatalyst, to construct the spiro-molecules with high yields. The significant features of this protocol are neutral reaction condition, availability, low cost, metal free, strong acid/base free, and reusable reaction medium with no column chromatography separation. This methodology is useful for the easy access of structurally complex, highly functionalized spirooxindole molecules with the important medicinal chemistry applications.
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.
