A new approach based on multicomponent/domino combined reactions for the synthesis of γ-nitroesters promoted by a mixed aluminium-magnesium oxides derived from hydrotalcite-like material was developed. Different γ-nitroesters were synthesized in 15-95% yield using Meldrum's acid, aromatic aldehydes, nitromethane and different alcohols as reagents and solvents. The γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives, Phenibut and Baclofen, were prepared in 63 and 61% overall yield, respectively, through a two steps synthetic strategy. A mechanistic pathway was proposed based on the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) experiments.
A series of 15 new hybrid perillyl‐4H‐pyrans compounds was straightforwardly synthesized by a strategy combining the multicomponent reaction and the copper‐catalyzed alkyne‐azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). The 2‐amino‐4H‐pyrans‐3‐carbonitrile containing the alkyne moiety was prepared via multicomponent reaction between 1,3‐dicarbonyl, a propargyloxy aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile or ethyl α‐cyanoacetate. The alkyne derivative was sequentially reacted with the perillyl azide component through the copper‐catalyzed [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. The antiproliferative activity of hybrid compounds were evaluated against the human hepatoma HepG2/C3A cell line.
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.
