This report describes the syntheses of three new trans-palladium dichloride complexes of bulky selenium ligands. These complexes possess a Cl−Pd−Cl rotor spoke attached to a Se−Pd−Se axle. The new ligands and palladium ...

The mechanochemical, solvent-free Ru(II)-catalyzed alkenylation of N-heteroaryl arenes with alkynes has been successfully described. A wide spectrum of arenes bearing N-heteroaryl moieties such as imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, ...

An efficient cobalt-catalyzed tandem one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazo[1,5-a]-N-heteroaromatics. The method involves Knoevenagel condensation followed by cobalt-catalyzed direct ...

The unique bisubunit structure of Leishmania donovani topoisomerase 1B (LdTop1) is a potential drug target in the parasites unlike the monomeric Top1 from its human host counterpart. Here, we report the design, synthesis, ...

A copper(II)-catalyzed cascade synthesis of 1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-1,3(2H)-diones has been achieved from readily available o-amino carbonyl compounds and maleimides. This one-pot cascade strategy involves a copper-catalyzed ...

A new method has been developed for the C–H selenyl­ation of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives under the irradiation of visible light. This photocatalyst-free strategy is applicable to a wide range of pyrazolo[1,5-a] ...

Catalyst-dependent regioselective oxidative annulation of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with cinnamaldehyde derivatives to construct fused N-heterocyclic frameworks has been described. The annulation reaction afforded ...

The indazole is an important class of bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocycle that forms the core structure of a large number of compounds with potential therapeutic value. Consequently, CH functionalization of this ...

Constituting the majority of all known compounds, heterocycles are structures that incorporate one or more heteroatoms within their core, thus exhibiting properties that are quite different from their all-carbon analogs. ...

Mixture of CHCl3-CH3OH is a popular non-aqueous solvent mixture that exhibits strong synergistic solvation. The specific interaction between the CHCl3 and CH3OH is investigated using 1:1 complex in N2 matrix along with ...
