2,4-Disubstituted tetrahydroquinazolines can be readily obtained via a four-component aza-Diels–Alder reaction inside a microwave reactor. The methodology developed is simple, catalyst- and solvent-free and can be tuned to get dihydroquinazoline derivatives.
In this perspective, we summarize new synthetic approaches for the construction of various polycyclic compounds involving ring-closing metathesis as a key step. In this regard, we used ring-closing metathesis in combination with other popular reactions like Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Claisen rearrangement, Fischer indolization, Grignard addition, Diels-Alder reaction, and [2+2] cycloaddition reaction etc. To this end, a variety of functional molecules such as α-amino acids, cyclophanes, heterocycles, propellanes, spirocycles, and macrocycles have been prepared. The strategies developed and the molecules prepared here play a key role in designing new materials and also act as lead compounds in drug design. The strategies and tactics developed here are useful to design polycycles, macrocycles, and heterocycles of diverse ring systems.
An efficient catalyst-free, one-pot multicomponent reaction has been developed for the synthesis of pyrimidine functionalized pyrrolo-annelated derivatives. The method offers easy and column free separation, mild reaction conditions and high yields.
Condensation products obtained from the treatment of uracil amidine with preformed or in situ generated suitably substituted olefins unexpectedly undergo intramolecular cyclisation during silica gel chromatography to generate pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. Various reaction conditions are studied and the altered nature of the uracil amidine molecule is further explored by reacting it with different suitably substituted alkenes.
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.
