An excellent system for the selective oxidation of ­benzylic and secondary alcohols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium decatungstate in [bmim][BF4] ionic liquid is described. The catalytic ...

A new series of 2-(3′-indolyl)-N-arylthiazole-4-carboxamides 17a–p has been designed and synthesized. Initial reaction of readily available thioamides 15 with bromopyruvic acid under refluxing conditions produced different ...

An efficient and economical method was developed for the synthesis of 3-substituted indoles by one-pot three-component coupling reaction of a substituted or unsubstituted benzaldehyde, N-methylaniline, and indole or ...

Gold(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 14-π electron heteroaromatic thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole is reported using conjugated enyne tethered indole sulfides, featuring skeletal rearrangement conjoined with intramolecular hydroarylation ...

3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (veratryl alcohol) is a model compound for lignin substructures and its oxidation with H2O2 catalyzed by iron(III) porphyrins and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in ionic liquids has been described. ...

Reaction of different substituted indoles with acetone was investigated using Bi(OTf)3 as a catalyst. An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of spiro indoles, 1-methyl-cyclopenta[b]indole and bis(1-methyl- ...

A simple and efficient chemoselective thioacetalization of carbonyl compounds has been achieved using Ce(OTf)3 (10 mol-%) as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Advantages of the methodology include very short reaction ...

Two classes of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized using one-pot reaction of α-tosyloxy ketones/α-halo ketones, sodium azide, and terminal alkynes in the presence of aq PEG (1:1, v/v) using the click chemistry ...

A new class of ‘drug like’ 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles is synthesized using one-pot reaction of sodium azide, α-bromo ketones, and alkynes in PEG-400/water (1:1, v/v) under the click chemistry reaction condition ...
