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 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...
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; Avenaciolide, (1R,5R,6R)-4-methylidene-6-octil-2,7- dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]-octan-3,8-dione, is a natural bis-γ-lactone isolated from cultures of A. avenaceus and possess antifungal activity. This dissertation describes the synthesis of avenaciolide and new synthetic analogues (1R,5R,6R)-6-(2- arylethyl)-4-methylidene-2,7- dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3,8-di...
