RuCl3 · xH2O: A New Efficient Catalyst for Facile Preparation of 1,1‐Diacetates from Aldehydes

Abstract An efficient, facile preparation of aldehyde 1,1‐diacetates (acylals) in excellent yields catalyzed by RuCl3 · xH2O is described. Ketones do not react under these conditions.

New Strategy for the Oxidation of Hantzsch 1,4‐Dihydropyridines and Dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines Catalyzed by DMSO under Aerobic Conditions

Abstract A novel metal‐salt‐oxidant‐free, efficient, and economical method for the oxidation of Hantzsch 1,4‐dihydropyridines that uses aerial oxygen and solvent‐grade dimethylsulfoxide is described. Also, the synthesis of pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines is achieved from in situ oxidation of dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines that arise from the reaction of 6‐aminouracils and cyano olefins in dimethylsulfoxide.

Multicomponent eco-friendly synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-(1H)-ones using an organocatalyst Lactic acid

Abstract Biginelli compounds 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-(1H)-ones are synthesized in high yields via eco-friendly simple reaction procedure using Lactic acid: organocatalyst. The new method reported herein is green and is free of formation of any hazardous by products. The process has significant advantages over other reported methods.

RuCl3·xH2O: A Novel and Efficient Catalyst for the Facile Synthesis of 1,5-Benzodiazepines Under Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract 1,5-Benzodizepines are synthesized in excellent yields via condensation of o-phenylenediamine with ketones having a hydrogen at the α-position. The reaction is performed in solvent-free conditions and 5 mol% of RuCl3·xH2O is enough to direct the reaction to completion.

Iron(III) Chloride-Promoted, Solvent-Free, Facile, and Efficient Friedländer Synthesis of Quinolines

Abstract A mild, efficient, and solvent‐free version of Friedländer annulation of 2‐amino ketones and α‐methylene carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines using a catalytic amount of commercially available iron(III) chloride at room temperature in excellent yields is described.
