Abstract  A series of twenty halomethylated β-enaminones [RC(O)CH=C(R 1)NR 3 R 4, where R = CF3,CCl3, CHCl2; R 1 = H, Me, Ph; R 3 = H, Me, Bu, Et; R 4 = Me, Et, Bu, allyl, tert-amyl, CH2CH2OH, Bn, Ph] were synthesized using the ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 at room temperature. It is demonstrated that this ionic liquid is a reaction medium suitable for the amination of β-alkoxyvinyl halomethyl ketones. The advantages of this method are the absence of solvents, short reaction times, and good yields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract  The synthesis of eleven 1-cyanoacetyl-5-hydroxy-5-halomethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles from the reaction of 4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones f(R 3C(O)C(R 2) = C(R 1)OR, where R 3 = CF3, CCl3, CHCl2, CO2 Et; R 2/R 1 = H/H, H/Me, H/Et, -(CH2)4-, Me/H, H/Pr, and R = Me, Et) with cyanoacetohydrazide is reported. The reaction was carried out in the ionic liquid ([bmim][BF4]) and molecular solvents. The results showed that when the ionic liquid was used as reaction medium, the reaction time was drastically decreased and the yield was improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract  A series of twelve 5-trihalomethyl-3-arylisoxazoles was synthesized and screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The compounds were synthesized from the cyclondensation of 1,1,1-trihalo-4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones [CX 3C(O)C(R 2)=C(R 1)OR, where X = Cl and F; R=Me; R 2=H; R 1=H, Me, F, Cl, Br, and NO2] with hydroxylamine hydrochloride through a rapid one-pot reaction via microwave irradiation. Some of the 5-trihalomethyl-3-arylisoxazoles exhibited good in vitro anti-Cryptococcus activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
