A highly selective one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis of 9-methoxynaphtho[1,2-b]benzofuran was obtained by treating 1-naphthol with 1-bromo-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene and two molar equivalents of potassium tert-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide. The sel...

In continuation of our research program to develop original synthetic methods using TDAE methodology on nitroheterocyclic substrates, we were able to generate for the first time a stable carbanion in position 2 of the 5-nitroimidazole scaffold. Start...

This paper presents the discovery and development of antifungal agents against Fusarium oxysporum (Fox), a devastating plant pathogen. Diethyl 2-((arylamino)methylene)malonates (DAMMs) were formed as side-products during the synthesis of polysubstitu...

5-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran (5-APB), also known as “Benzo Fury,” is a novel psychoactive substance (NPS) belonging to a new class of synthetic phenethylamines. It acts by disrupting serotonergic circuits as a serotonin–norepinephrin...

The title compound has been synthetized using a one-pot cascade process of ethyl (E)-3-(2-aminophenyl) acrylate and 2-formylbenzonitrile in the presence of Cs2CO3 as the catalyst. The synthetic route has been rationalized as a base-catalyzed tandem a...

The Cadogan reaction of 2-aryl-3-nitropyridines leads to δ-carbolines. The title compound is a side product in this reaction, generated via a ring opening of a nitrene and cyclization. A crystal structure analysis gives an enormous unit cell.

In the current study, the conjugate of 3-oxo-lithocholic acid with N-methylpiperazine and paraform was synthesized using the Mannich reaction and evaluated for antiviral activity. This modification resulted in a dramatic increase of antiviral activit...

Herein we report the synthesis of (±)-N-(3-chlorophenethyl)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanamide in the reaction between 2-(3-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-amine and (±)-naproxen. The newly obtained bio-functional hybrid molecule was fully ch...

3-(2-Chloro-5-methylphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol 1 is a possible precursor in the chiral beta blocker Bupranolol synthesis. Both racemic and single-enantiomeric samples of 1 were synthesized and characterized by single crystal XRD. The absolute configura...
