One-pot multicomponent synthesis and anti-microbial evaluation of 2'-(indol-3-yl)-2-oxospiro(indoline-3,4'-pyran) derivatives

A simple and efficient method for the one-pot three-component synthesis of new spirooxindoles in room temperature is described. The newly synthesized spirooxindoles were screened for anti-microbial activity and the results are good on comparison with of standard antibacterial compounds.

Tetrasubstituted olefinic xanthene dyes: synthesis via Pd-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization/C-H activation of 2-bromobenzyl-N-propargylamines and solid state fluorescence properties.

Tetrasubstituted olefin based new xanthene derivatives have been synthesized via palladium-catalyzed carbopalladation/C-H activation of 2-bromobenzyl-N-propargylamine derivatives. The synthesized compounds display a pronounced solid state fluorescence due to their restricted internal rotation of a C-Ar bond in the solid or aggregation state.

Synthesis of pyrrolo-/indolo[1,2-a]quinolines and naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes from gem-dibromovinyls and sulphonamides.

A highly efficient and simple route for the synthesis of pyrrolo-/indolo[1,2-a]quinolines and naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes from gem-dibromovinyls and sulphonamides is reported. The noteworthy feature of this report is that the methodology involves a two-step protocol to synthesize tri- and tetracyclic heterocycles in a one-pot fashion through the Cu(I)-catalyzed formation of ynamide followed by a Ag(I)-assisted intramolecular hydroarylation. The photophysical properties of representative examples of pyrrolo- and indolo[1,2-a]quinolines in solid and solution states have also been studied.

Facile synthesis of 2-substituted quinolines and 3-alkynyl-2-aryl-2H-Indazole via SnCl2-mediated reductive cyclization

A rapid and efficient SnCl2·2H2O mediated synthesis of quinolines and indazoles has been developed using A3-coupling followed by reductive cyclization. The key highlights are the formation of quinoline in a one-pot fashion and indazole through N–N bond formation.

An expedient route to highly diversified [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines and their evaluation for antimicrobial, antiproliferative and in silico studies

An efficient diversity oriented synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines has been developed by sequential diazotization, azidation and cycloaddition reactions in a one-pot fashion. This strategy allows an easy accessibility of triazole fused [1,4]benzodiazepines in good yields. The main objective of this methodology is to introduce various substituents at all possible positions under mild reaction conditions. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial, anticancer and in silico activity. Among the tested compounds (2a–n), the derivatives 2a, 2b, 2d, 2k, 2g, 2j, 2m and 2l have displayed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. Anticancer activity results revealed that compounds 2a, 2g and 2m exhibited potent in vitro anticancer activity against A549 lung adenocarcinoma cancer cell line. Further, molecular docking studies of all the synthesized compounds were performed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the plausible binding modes and also to compare the theoretical and experimental results of these compounds.

Synthesis and NMR spectral assignments of indol-3-yl pyridines through one-pot multi-component reaction

Asimple protocol for the efficient preparation of 6‐(ferrocene‐1‐yl)‐2‐(indol‐3‐yl)pyridine and 2‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐6‐(2‐thienyl)pyridine derivatives has been achieved through multi‐component reaction, and these compounds were thoroughly characterised by 2D NMR spectral techniques. Copyright

Synthesis of tetra-substituted olefins via annulation by Pd-catalyzed carbopalladation/C–H activation and solid state fluorescence properties

Palladium-catalyzed and norbornene-mediated multiple C–C bond forming strategies to highly substituted helical olefin incorporated 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines have been developed via double carbopalladation/C–H activation of 2-bromo-N-benzylpropargylamines. The scope of the above carbocyclization process has been studied by varying the substitution on starting materials which have been synthesized using A3-coupling (mine–ldehyde–lkyne). Interestingly, the synthesized compounds show a pronounced solid state fluorescence property due to their restriction of intramolecular rotation in the condensed phase.
