The research presents a transition-metal-free approach for the synthesis of 1,3-diynes and related molecules through Glaser- and Cadiot-Chodkiewicz-type coupling reactions. The study utilizes terminal alkynes or 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes as reactants and explores the efficiency of molecular iodine as a catalyst in aqueous medium to achieve the desired 1,3-diynes in moderate to good yields. Terminal alkynes (such as phenylacetylene) as starting materials for the synthesis of 1,3-diynes. Piperidine as a base in the reactions. The reaction conditions demonstrate a significant functional group tolerance in water, and the scope of the metal-free method for synthesizing 1,3-enynes has been investigated. The research also includes control experiments to establish a plausible reaction mechanism, which is further supported by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The findings reveal that the process likely involves a radical pathway and is influenced by the presence of aerial oxygen. The study is significant as it offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective method for C-C bond forming reactions, which are essential in the synthesis of complex molecules for pharmaceuticals, materials science, and other applications.

The research investigates the impact of ring substituents and leaving groups on the kinetics of SNAr (Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution) reactions involving 1-halogeno- and 1-phenoxy-nitrobenzenes with aliphatic amines in acetonitrile. The study reports rate constants for the reactions, comparing them with previously reported data for more strongly activated compounds. The reactants included a series of 1-chloro-, 1-fluoro-, and 1-phenoxy-nitrobenzenes activated by CF3 or CN groups or by ring-nitrogen with n-butylamine, pyrrolidine, or piperidine. The experiments utilized spectrophotometric kinetic measurements, with the concentration of amine in large excess of the parent concentration, observing first-order kinetics. The study also analyzed the effects of changing the leaving group from chloride to fluoride and to phenoxide, and of the amine from n-butylamine to pyrrolidine and to piperidine on the reaction kinetics. The analyses included evaluating rate constants, examining steric effects, ground-state stabilisation, and base catalysis, with results indicating reduced reactivity with decreasing ring activation and specific steric effects leading to rate-retardation.

The research focuses on developing new base-labile protecting groups for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides, addressing the challenges posed by the 2'-OH function in RNA assembly. The study involved synthesizing various carbonochloridates from hydroxy compounds, such as β-hydroxybenzenepropanenitrile and 2,2-bis(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol, which were then introduced at the 5'-O position of thymidine to create model nucleosides. Kinetic studies were conducted to evaluate the deprotection rates of these groups using bases like DBU, piperidine, and Et3N, with analyses performed via HPLC to determine half-lives and cleavage mechanisms. The results indicated that the newly synthesized protecting groups, particularly the 1-(2-cyano-1-phenylethoxy)carbonyl and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl, demonstrated promising compatibility for temporary protection during RNA synthesis.

The research focuses on the amidinoethylation of amino compounds, a new reaction that involves the addition of amines to the C=C double bond of various N,N'-substituted-propenamidines. The purpose of this study was to explore the synthesis of 3-amino-substituted-N,N'-substituted-propanamidines, which are not easily accessible through classical synthetic methods. The researchers found that the most nucleophilic amines, such as piperidine, morpholine, and pyrrolidine, added under mild conditions, while aliphatic and aromatic amines required more drastic conditions. The conclusions drawn from the study illustrate the activation of the C=C double bond of propenamidines by the conjugated amidine function, providing a new class of Michael acceptors for amino compounds. The chemicals used in the process include a variety of amines, such as piperidine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, cyclohexylamine, diisopropylamine, and aromatic amines, as well as solvents like acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, and ethylene glycol dimethylether, and catalysts such as acetic acid and SnCl4.

The study explores the efficient hydration of nitriles using the RuH2(PPh3)4 catalyst, converting them into corresponding amides under neutral conditions with only 1-2 equivalents of water. This method is advantageous due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and mild reaction conditions. The study extends this principle to transform ?-ketonitriles into ene-lactams, which are versatile intermediates for synthesizing piperidine and hydroquinoline ring systems. The efficiency of these reactions is demonstrated through the short-step synthesis of (-)-pumiliotoxin C, a toxic skin alkaloid produced by Central American frogs. The study also investigates the catalytic activities of various metal complexes in these transformations, finding RuH2(PPh3)4 to be the most effective. Additionally, the study explores the conversion of ene-lactams into ?-dioxylactams and further into ?-substituted lactams using different nucleophiles in the presence of TiCl4, providing a useful method for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclic amines.

The research focuses on the synthesis and investigation of pyran derivatives, specifically benzodipyrandiones that are double fused with pyrimidine and pyrazole. The purpose of the study was to explore the chemical reactions and properties of these complex organic compounds. The researchers started with the Kostanecki method to synthesize benzodi-pyrandion from diacetylresorcin, which was then hydrolyzed to form a tetraketon. This intermediate reacted with CS2/KOH/DMS to yield 2,8-bisdimethylthiobenzodipyrandion, which was further transformed into various derivatives through reactions with piperidine, hydrazine, and benzamidin. The resulting compounds, including 3,7-diphenyl-benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b']di(pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol)-4,6-dion, 4,8-diphenyl-benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b']di(pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin)-5,7-dion, and 3,7-Dibenzoyl-2,8-dipiperidino-benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b']dipyran-1,6-dion, were found to be poorly soluble in common solvents. The study concluded with the characterization of these compounds through melting point determination, yield calculation, and spectroscopic analysis, including infrared (IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The chemicals used in the process included diacetylresorcin, CS2, KOH, DMS, piperidine, hydrazine, benzamidin, and various solvents such as DMSO, aceton, and ethanol.
