<p>A series of olefin metathesis catalysts bearing cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligands of varying size and steric demand has been synthesized and evaluated in ring-closing-, self-, and cross-metathesis reactions at room temperature. The catalysts were also probed for potential applications in dynamic covalent chemistry. The majority of the catalysts showed high stability, and remained active in the reaction mixtures for several days, including in methanol-based solutions. Higher temperatures could be used to control the reactivity towards sterically challenging substrates, enabling formation of tetrasubstituted olefins. The CAAC complexes exhibited remarkable functional group tolerance towards heteroaromatic and nucleophilic additives, making them potentially useful in the screening of biologically active compounds.</p>

Enzyme catalyzed synthesis is an eco-friendly technique in organic synthesis, having several benefits over conventional methods. In the present work, we describe a simple process of laccase and chloroperoxidase assisted cyclization of chalcones, leading to the formation of flavanones. The reaction proceeds in a mixture of phosphate buffer and ethanol, under oxygen atmosphere at room temperature, yielding the corresponding flavanone in good to moderate yield. The relative configuration of the products at C2 is tentatively assigned as S*-flavanone based on the coupling constants with the methylenic protons H3α,β. In comparison to the chemical methods, we describe a process which can be achieved efficiently under mild conditions using oxygen as oxidant.

In recent years some of the blood cells of several molluscs and insects are characterised as immunocytes. Similar cells from a few invertebrates from India have been looked into under conventional TEM to register the ultrastructural features. This type of study is first of its kind in the subcontinent. Immunocytes from bivalve molluscs Meretrix meretrix, Laroellidens marqinalis and two insect species, apterygote Ctenolepism a longicaudata and pterygote Gesonula punctifrons provide a new set of fine structural information which forms a basis of comparison with those studied earlier.Immunocytes have been collected from the fresh live species of bivalve molluscs and insects obtained locally at Calcutta. These were fixed in icecold 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2-7.4) for 1-2 hours at 4-5°C. Subseguently pellets were post-osmicated in 1% OsO4 at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Following dehydration these were embedded in Araldite mixture in plastic capsules and polymerization was effected for 2 days at 60°C. Ultrathin sections were cut in a ultrotome and sections were double stained with Uranyl acetate and lead citrate. These were viewed in a TEM.

We report a convenient and practical method for the preparation of nonexplosive cyclic hypervalent iodine(III) oxidants as efficient organocatalysts and reagents for various reactions using Oxone® in aqueous solution under mild conditions at room temperature. The thus obtained 2-iodosobenzoic acids (IBAs) could be used as precursors of other cyclic organoiodine(III) derivatives by the solvolytic derivatization of the hydroxy group under mild conditions of 80 °C or lower temperature. These sequential procedures are highly reliable to selectively afford cyclic hypervalent iodine compounds in excellent yields without contamination by hazardous pentavalent iodine(III) compound.

AbstractOrganophotocatalytic C–H bond functionalization has attracted a lot of attention in the past several years due to the possibility of catalyzing reactions in a metal- and peroxide-free environment. Continuing on these lines, an organophotoredox-catalyzed C–H functionalization of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and related heterocycles with bromomalonates under mild conditions is reported, providing excellent yields of the products at room temperature. This is the first report involving malonates as coupling partners leading to the synthesis of a range of functionalized products including total synthesis of zolpidem, a sedative­-hypnotic drug molecule.
