The synthesis of β-(C3)-functionalized pyrroles is a challenging task and requires a multistep protocol. An operationally simple direct catalytic synthesis of β-substituted pyrroles has been developed. This one-pot multicomponent method combined aqueous succinaldehyde as 1,4-dicarbonyl, primary amines, and isatins to access hydroxyl-oxindole β-tethered pyrroles. Direct synthesis of the β-substituted free NH-pyrrole is the central intensity of this work. DFT-calculations and preliminary mechanism investigation support the possible reaction pathway.

The benzimidazole moiety found in a large number of biologically important drugs has not been completely realized as yet in respect of its strength and directionality of its molecular interactions. To understand the role played by the intermolecular interactions in the benzimidazole derivatives, lattice energy of a series of five important molecules has been computed and results accrued thereof have been discussed. Analysis of molecular packing based on the intermolecular interaction energies suggests existence of different molecular pairs that play an important role in the stabilization of the crystal structures. Interaction energy analysis of such motifs reveals that intermolecular interactions of the type N-H…N and C-H…N happen to be the major contributors to the stabilization of molecular packing in the unit cell. N-H…π and C-H…π type edge-to-face stacking interactions also contribute significantly to the stabilization of crystal packing. The pairs of N-H…N intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers making a contribution of -14 to -18.52 kcal/mol towards stabilization, whereas C-H…N bonds link the molecules into dimers in the energy range of -2 to -5 kcal/mol. Additionally, the role of π…π interactions has also been investigated in molecular stabilization.

O-Cinnamyloxy/geranyloxy/cyclohexenyloxy/cinnamoyloxy-acetophenones yielded pyrazol-heterocycles, all of which contained an angular methyl-attached pyranopyran unit with pyrazolones in the ionic liquid (IL), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-8-ium acetate [DBU][Ac], via the domino/Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels–Alder (DKHDA) reaction. Besides, isoxazol yielded isoxazol-heterocycles possessing a framework to similar to O-allyloxy/prenyloxy-acetophenones, which did not involve chromatography to isolate the desired product. However, propargyl-substrates needed ZnO to promote the reaction. The heterosteroid-mimicking structure thus achieved may have different bioprofiles than the aldehyde-derived one. Moreover, the IL is recyclable and capable of promoting reaction effectively, which is indicative of an economical and greener way of achieving the interesting heterocycles. The stereochemistry of all the compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 2D NMR NOESY and the single crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Syntheses of some new pyrrolo-fused pyrrolo[1,2-a] indole derivatives have been achieved by combining N-allyl-indole-2-carbaldehyde with a variety of N-alkyl-glycine esters as well as tetrahydroisoquinolines in an ionic liquid, triethylammonium acetate (TEAA), a recyclable reaction medium, via intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reaction. This new method is highly efficient, and the ionic liquid employed is recyclable. The stereochemistry of all the compounds was confirmed by 2D NMR NOESY and in some cases single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The in vitro screening of all new candidates against various bacterial strains and representative human solid tumor cell lines, A549 (lung), HeLa (cervix), SW1573 (lung), T-47D (breast) and WiDr (colon), revealed that many of them have good antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular and antiproliferative activities.

An ionogel was synthesized through the confinement of 1,3,5-trimethyl pyrazolium chloride as an ionic liquid in a silica-gel matrix through a sol–gel process, and its catalytic activity was compared with a silica supported ionic liquid for the synthesis of benzothiazoles using 2-aminothiophenol and aldehydes/ketones. The reaction between 3-methoxyacetophenone and 2-aminothiophenol produced 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzothiazole, and its structure was determined using X-ray crystallography. The ionogel was characterized with SEM, TEM, FTIR and TGA.

In the title molecule, C24H25N3O2, the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The methoxyphenyl-substituted ring makes a dihedral angle of 6.79 (5)° with the quinoline ring system. In the crystal, molecules are consolidated in the crystal packing by a combination of weak C—H...N and C—H...O interactions. π–π stacking interactions also occur.

We report herein the facile synthesis and structural characterization of a highly stable dinuclear Cu(I) complex, [(PPh3)2Cu(μ-tda)Cu(PPh3)2]·6H2O 1 (tda = thiodiacetate anion), in which the Cu–Cu distance is 7.197 A. This “pre-formed” complex serves as an extremely efficient and recyclable homogeneous catalyst (2 mol%, 30 min) for CuAAC in dichloromethane solvent. The synthesis of a variety of glycoconjugates under ambient conditions is successfully achieved using 1 as a catalyst. The products are obtained in high yields and very short reaction times while complying with the “click protocols”. A simpler procedure solely involving the mixing of substrates with 1 (i.e. base free and solvent free) gave the corresponding glycoconjugate in 10 min using 2 mol% of the catalyst.

N-Protected derivatives of 1-aminocyclohexaneacetic acid (β3,3-Ac6c), namely Valeroyl-β3,3-Ac6c-OH [2-(1-pentanamidocyclohexyl)acetic acid, C13H23NO3], (I), Fmoc-β3,3-Ac6c-OH [2-(1-{[(9H-fluoren-9-yloxy)carbonyl]amino}cyclohexyl)acetic acid, C23H25NO4], (II), and Pyr-β3,3-Ac6c-OH {2-[1-(pyrazine-2-amido)cyclohexyl]acetic acid, C13H17N3O3}, (III), were synthesized and their conformational properties were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The backbone torsion angles (ϕ, θ) for β3,3-Ac6c-OH are restricted togaucheconformations in all the derivatives, with a chair conformation of the cyclohexane ring. In the crystal structure of (I), the packing of molecules shows both carboxylic acidR22(8) O—H...O and centrosymmetricR22(14) N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, giving rise to chains along thec-axis direction. In (II), centrosymmetric carboxylic acidR22(8) O—H...O dimers are extended through N—H...O hydrogen bonds and together with inter-ring π–π interactions between Fmoc groups [ring centroid distance = 3.786 (2) Å], generate a layered structure lying parallel to (010). In the case of compound (III), carboxylic acid O—H...Npyrazinehydrogen bonds give rise to zigzag ribbon structures extending along thec-axis direction.

The thiopyrazole gave many new polycyclic thiopyranopyrazole-heterocycles when it was assembled with a variety of O-alkenylated/alkynylated salicylaldehydes and naphthaldehydes in Bronsted acidic ionic liquid, [Hmim]HSO4, via domino/Knoevenagel–hetero-Diels–Alder (DKHDA) reaction. The reaction is highly stereoselective and the work-up procedure required no chromatography of products in many cases.

A one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between terminal alkynes, benzyl/allyl/alkyl halides, and NaN3 in water at room temperature using silica-supported copper(I) oxide (SiO2–Cu2O) has been developed. Various supported copper(I) oxide catalysts have been tested for this reaction where silica-supported copper(I) oxide works well in this reaction. The catalyst being heterogeneous can be easily recovered at the end of reaction and can be reused making the process completely economical. A single crystal X-ray analysis of 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole has revealed that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21. .

A series of new disubstituted diphenyldithiophosphate complexes of cadmium [{(ArO)2PS2}2Cd] (9–12) have been isolated in aqueous media while their donor stabilized adducts [{(ArO)2PS2}2Cd·2C5H5N] (13–16) [(Ar = 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3, 2,5-(CH3)2C6H3, 3,4-(CH3)2C6H3 and 3,5-(CH3)2C6H3)] have been isolated in chloroform. These newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) spectroscopic analyses. The dithiophosphate ligands are coordinated bidentate to the cadmium ion via the two thiolate sulfurs.

Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 4 reveals that phosphorus of the anion is tetrahedrally bonded to two S and two O atoms. The structure is stabilized by cation–anion N–H⋯S intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. In 16, two diphenyldithiophosphate ions are bidentate with both sulfurs coordinated to cadmium.
