A novel M2CO3-catalyzed aerobic oxidative heterocoupling of thiols with air as the oxidant was described for the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides. High atom economy, green catalyst and oxidant, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope make this strategy extremely attractive.

Amidoalkyl-2-naphthol is one of the vital synthetic intermediates which occupy an imperative position in medicinal chemistry due to its amazing biological, pharmacological as well as industrial and synthetic applications. Owing to its diverse pharmaceutical activities, hundreds of scientific literature are available, signifying the efficient synthesis of this intermediate using various catalysts. Most of these literature methods suffer from low yield and harsh reaction conditions that further ignited the researcher to explore for another green catalyst and fresh methodologies. This review summarizes the last five years progress in the catalytic synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols using various heterogenous, homogenous and nanocatalysts along with their mechanism of action. Various advantages like green synthesis, atom economy, clean reaction profile and catalyst recovery are discussed which facilitate the scientist to probe and stimulate the study on this scaffold. In the end, the catalysts and reactions condition are organized into the tables for swift at a glance understanding of different catalysts used with their yield and time taken for the synthesis.

Abstract:: An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of new pyrano[3,2-c] and pyrano[3,2-a]carbazole de-rivatives via a three component reaction of 4-hydroxycarbazole or 2-hydroxycarbazole, isocyanides, and dialkylacetylenedi-carboxylates. Noteworthy features of this protocol include mild reaction conditions, catalyst-free, high atom-economy and high yields.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of pyrazolopyridines containing the aminochromane motif through a base-catalyzed cyclization reaction is reported. The synthesis was carried out through a three-component reaction of (arylhydrazono)methyl-4H-chromen-4-one, malononitrile, primary amines in the presence of Et3N at room temperature. However, carrying out the reaction under the same conditions without base led to a fused chromanyl-cyanopyridine. High selectivity, high atom economy, and good to high yields in addition to mild reaction conditions are the advantages of this approach.

The functionalization of typically unreactive C(sp3)–H bonds holds great promise for reducing the reliance on existing functional groups while improving atom-economy and energy efficiency. As a result, this topic is a matter of genuine concern for scientists in order to achieve greener chemical processes. The site-specific modification of α-amino acid and peptides based upon C(sp3)–H functionalization still represents a great challenge of utmost synthetic importance. This short review summarizes the most recent advances in ‘Cross-Dehydrogenative Couplings’ of α-amino carbonyl compounds and peptide derivatives with a variety of nucleophilic coupling partners.1 Introduction2 C–C Bond-Forming Oxidative Couplings2.1 Reaction with Alkynes2.2 Reaction with Alkenes2.3 Reaction with (Hetero)arenes2.4 Reaction with Alkyl Reagents3 C–Heteroatom Bond-Forming Oxidative Couplings3.1 C–P Bond Formation3.2 C–N Bond Formation3.3 C–O and C–S Bond Formation4 Conclusions

In recent years, the search for inexpensive and eco-friendly synthesis routes has increased significantly. Nanotechnology and biotechnology have established themselves as a major ally in building green technologies for effective, stable, and non-toxic nanomaterial synthesis. [1-3]. Thus, the principles of green bio nanotechnology are associated with waste prevention, maximizing atom economy, and less use of precursors with less hazardous synthesis routes and the use of safe chemicals with low toxicity. Reaction conditions are also advantageous due to safe methodologies and increased energy efficiency.

A series of novel spirooxindoles have been synthesized through three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ by the decarboxylative condensation of isatin and sarcosine with the dipolarophile 3-phenyl-1-(heteroaryl -2-yl)prop-2-en-1- one, synthesized by the Knoevenagel reaction using 2-acetylfuran, 2-acetylpyrrole, 2-acetylthiophene and substituted benzaldehydes. These compounds are used for the first time as dipolarophiles. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high atom economy, excellent yields, and high regio- and stereo-selectivity. The reaction was carried out by mixing equimolar amounts of enone and isatin, as well as a slight excess of sarcosine in isopropyl alcohol when heated to 60–70°C. Among the enones with various heterocyclic substituents, it is most convenient to use compounds containing a pyrrole fragment as dipolarophiles, since the products are obtained in a short amount of time in good yields. The use of enones obtained from 2-acetylthiophene leads to an increase in the reaction time, and from 2-acetylfuran - to a significant resinification of the reaction mixture. The structures of the compounds obtained were proved using a combination of 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy data, as well as two-dimensional NMR experiments of heteronuclear correlation, HSQC and HMBC. Based on the data obtained, a mechanism for the formation of products has been proposed.

Direct (hetero)arylation (DHA) is playing a key role in improving the efficiency and atom economy of C–C cross coupling reactions, so has impacts in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry. Current research focuses on further improving the generality, efficiency and selectivity of the method through careful tuning of the reaction conditions and the catalytic system. Comparatively fewer studies are dedicated to the replacement of the high-boiling-point organic solvents dominating the field and affecting the overall sustainability of the method. We show herein that the use of a 9:1 v/v emulsion of an aqueous Kolliphor 2 wt% solution while having toluene as the reaction medium enables the preparation of relevant examples of thiophene-containing π-conjugated building blocks in high yield and purity.
