Cycloaddition/annulation reactions remain the most attractive methods for the synthesis of five membered heterocyclic ring systems. Among the three possible strategies for [3 + 2] cycloaddition, this review focuses on ...

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 ...

We report a one-step approach for the conversion of β-enaminonitriles to synthetically versatile α-keto amides in moderate to high yields under visible light irradiation photosensitized by porphyrins. The method is mild, ...

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 ...

The importance of hypervalent iodine reagents in organic chemistry has been demonstrated in recent years, and they have been found to have several desirable properties: they are mild, selective, efficient and eco-friendly. ...

Two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides, MoSe2 and MoS2, have drawn potential attention in the field of water splitting. Coupling of MoS2 and MoSe2 provides a sustainable route to improve the electrocatalytic ...

In the title compound, C(14)H(14)N(2)O(3), the nitro group is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is bonded [dihedral angle = 1.70 (2)°], and this ring is para-substituted by the amino-methyl-ene group. The ...

Diaryliodonium salts have been successfully employed to construct 2-arylindoles and heteroaryl carboxylates. The indoles are prepared using decarboxylative C−C coupling strategy in water. The carboxylates are produced under ...

DNA-mediated multivalent interactions between colloidal particles have been extensively applied for their ability to program bulk phase behaviour and dynamic processes. Exploiting the competition between different types ...

Functionalized ionic liquids (FILs) synthesized with specific desired chemical properties have shown promising results in various areas of organic synthesis. In supported organic synthesis, FILs have become known as a new ...
