An efficient and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines is presented. Compared to previous methods, this protocol is transition-metal-free and only [a
A series of 1,4-thiazepin-5(4H)-one derivatives were synthesized via a transition metal-free one-pot Smiles rearrangement process at room temperature. Regioselective seven-membered heterocycles were constructed in good to excellent yields. To gain an in-depth understanding of the S-N type Smiles rearrangement mechanism, a theoretical study was also performed by quantum chemistry calculations.
A direct C–H bond carbamoylation of quinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones with hydrazinecarboxamides has been developed. This reaction provides a series of 3‐carbamoylquinoxalin‐2(1H)‐one derivatives in moderate to good yields under mild conditions with a broad range of substrates and functional group tolerance. The present methodology affords a convenient and practical access to pharmaceutically active 3‐carbamoylquinoxalin‐2(1H)‐one derivatives.
A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of structurally diverse 2-hetarylbenzothiazoles via oxidative condensation of the sp C-H bond with benzothiazoles has been described. This process is metal free and operationally simple. A series of 2-hetarylbenzothiazoles were prepared in moderate to good yield under mild conditions.
The microfluidic device (MFD) with a glass–PDMS–glass (G-P-G) structure is of interest for a wide range of applications. However, G-P-G MFD fabrication with an ultra-thin PDMS film (especially thickness less than 200 μm) is still a big challenge because the ultra-thin PDMS film is easily deformed, curled, and damaged during demolding and transferring. This study aimed to report a thickness-controllable and low-cost fabrication process of the G-P-G MFD with an ultra-thin PDMS film based on a flexible mold peel-off process. A patterned photoresist layer was deposited on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film to fabricate a flexible mold that could be demolded softly to achieve a rigid structure of the glass–PDMS film. The thickness of ultra-thin patterned PDMS could reach less than 50 μm without damage to the PDMS film. The MFD showcased the excellent property of water evaporation inhibition (water loss < 10%) during PCR thermal cycling because of the ultra-thin PDMS film. Its low-cost fabrication process and excellent water evaporation inhibition present extremely high prospects for digital PCR application.
A rapid access to a series of N-heteroarene fluorophores has been developed on the basis of the palladium-catalyzed direct oxidative C–H/C–H coupling of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with thiophenes/furans. The photophysical properties–structure relationship was systematically investigated. The resulting N-heteroarene fluorophores present color-tunable emissions (λem: 431–507 nm in CH2Cl2) and high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 91% in CH2Cl2).
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.
