Three related aromatic [22] heteroporphyrins have been synthesized and characterized, with the target of achieving NIR absorption. The propensity of these smallest π-conjugated macrocycles to absorb in the NIR region is benefitted from the fusion/annelation of the precursor heterocycles.
A cobalt-catalyzed selective remote C-4 alkylation of 8-aminoquinoline amides via C-H activation under irradiation with a CFL lamp in the presence of eosin Y at room temperature has been achieved. A series of pharmaceutically important C-4 quinoline amide-substituted ether derivatives has been obtained by this procedure. The C-4 functionalization of quinoline amides with inert ether is of much significance and was not reported earlier.
Bicyclic arenyl selenides
are of much importance because of their
pharmaceutical applications. A simple method for their synthesis has
been developed by a reaction of 2-naphthol and styrenyl selenocyanate/diaryl
diselenide in the presence of a base at room temperature. The selenation
occurs exclusively at the 1-position of 2-naphthol unit. The reactions
are relatively fast (2–4 h) and high yielding. A library of
substituted naphthyl styrenyl and naphthyl aryl selenides are obtained
by this procedure.
The inert C-H bond functionalization via bond activation in the presence of transition metals using ball milling is reviewed. The use of several transition metals, such as Pd, Rh, Ru, Co, and Ir are covered in this review for a variety of important functionalizations, including halogenation, amidation, alkynylation, and dehydrogenative coupling, among others. These reactions are performed under mild conditions, usually without any solvent, and in relatively short reaction times.
A convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of biarenyl chalcogenides through the interaction of bicyclic arenes and diaryl dichalcogenides on the surface of basic alumina under ball milling without any metal catalyst or solvent. This methodology shows wide substrate scope and is of high potential in organic synthesis due to its green aspects of ease of operation, shorter reaction time, ambient conditions and high yields.
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.
