Synthesis of annulated heterocyclic systems based on 2-mercaptoimidazoline and α-iodo ketones

Expeditious Syntheses to Pharmochemicals 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone, 1,3-Dichloro-, 1,3-Dibromo- and 1,3-Diiodoacetone from Glycerol 1,3-Dichlorohydrin Using Homogenous and Heterogenous Medium

“…On the other hand, 1,3-dihaloacetones are used in organic synthesis as versatile building blocks for more complex molecules. [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] Interestingly, they have been isolated from marine algae of the genus Asparagopsis taxiformis, A. armata and Falkenbergia rufolanosa. 58,59 The 1,3-dichloroacetone is used in the synthesis of famotidine and citric acid and as substrate in crossed aldol condensation reactions.…”

“…52 In addition, it is employed in organic synthesis for the construction of various heterocyclic systems through S-and N-alkylation reactions. [49][50][51] Many of these heterocyclic compounds exhibit analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antihypertensive and antitumor activities. [49][50][51] Already, the 1,3-dibromoacetone (7) has been used as raw material in the quinaldine derivative synthesis, a drug used in the treatment of acute asthma.…”
