An efficient method for the synthesis of quinolines using microwave irradiation was developed providing 28 quinolines with good yields. The reaction procedures are environmentally friendly, convenient, mild and of easy work-up. Quinolines were evaluated for their antifungal, anticancer and antioxidant properties and exhibited high activities in all tests performed.
A new and efficient methodology is proposed for obtaining 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/-thiones through Biginelli reactions. It is based on the use of less than the stoichiometric amount of p-sulfonic acid calixarenes as organocatalysts. A number of aromatic aldehydes as well as urea or thiourea can be employed for successfully synthesizing the corresponding Biginelli adducts. The described methodology is de...
A simple, green and efficient protocol was developed using b -cyclodextrin as a solid catalyst for the solvent-free synthesis of various Biginelli adducts. The advantages of our protocol included the following: (i) a metal-free methodology; (ii) high yields; (iii) simple and efficient work-up procedures; (iv) improved results under solvent-free conditions. b -cyclodextrin-catalyzed the Biginelli reactions for v...
A diastereoselective three-component cascade reaction, catalyzed by p-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene, provides a unique method to access diverse julolidine derivatives in high yields. Additionally, the reaction was also monitored by mass spectrometry and the mechanistic pathway uncovered.
