Organic molecules containing α-triazolyl or β-amino cyclic ketone fragments have been individually proven to show good bioactivities and to be useful in asymmetric and pharmaceutical syntheses. A triflic acid-promoted simple and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical α-triazolyl-α′-(aminomethyl)cycloalkanones from benzyl azides and α-triazolylcycloalkanones has been developed. A series of unsymmetrical α,α′-disubstituted cycloalkanones were obtained with high syn-diastereoselectivity and up to 82% yield. Examination of the reaction mechanism showed that the benzyl azides undergo protonation, nitrogen elimination, rearrangement, and electrophilic attack by the enol forms of the cyclic ketones.

A straightforward and efficient method for the synthesis of pyrazoles fused with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene­, or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene involves the formation of the tosylhydrazone from an aromatic substrate carrying aldehyde and acetylenic functionalities at appropriate positions, followed by base-promoted generation of the diazo compound and subsequent intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. A number of functional groups were found to be compatible for this reaction sequence and yields were moderate to very good (44–95%). A plausible reaction mechanism supported by DFT calculations has been provided to explain the formation of products.

<p>Herein, we describe an efficient method to prepare polysubstituted pyrroles via a copper-hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enyne-nitrile coupling reaction. This protocol accommodates both aromatic and aliphatic substituents and a broad range of functional groups, providing a variety of N-H pyrroles in good yields and with high regioselectivity. We propose that the Cu-based catalyst promotes both the initial reductive coupling and subsequent cyclization steps. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.</p>

Herein, we report an efficient method for the synthesis of (Z)-β-halovinyl ketones through a one-pot Sonogashira coupling and hydrohalogenation reaction promoted by palladium-copper catalyst and Brønsted acid. The ynone intermediates are generated in situ from readily available acid chlorides and terminal alkynes at room temperature, which are directly converted to (Z)-β-halovinyl ketones by treating with triflic acid. This method avoids the use of an external halogen source and features broad substrate scope, high yield, and good to excellent stereoselectivity.

An efficient synthesis of bisphenols is described by condensation of substituted phenols with corresponding cyclic ketones in presence of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and 3-mercaptopropionic acid as a catalyst in extremely high purity and yields.

The reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with metallothionein (MT) has been investigated at neutral pH under strictly anaerobic conditions. It is observed that NO mediates zinc release from MT by destroying zinc-sulphur clusters, but that it does not by itself S-nitrosylate MT in contrast to common belief. Zinc release and loss of thiolate groups under anaerobic conditions is found to be much slower than under aerobic conditions. The observed percentage loss of Zn2+ and thiolate groups after 3 h of NO treatment are 62 and 39%, respectively. The reaction of NO with cysteine is reinvestigated and it is found that cysteine is quantitatively converted to cystine after 5 min of NO treatment at pH 7.3. At lower pH, a much lower rate of conversion is observed confirming the base-catalysed nature of the reaction of NO with thiols. On the basis of these results, a reaction mechanism involving electrophilic attack of NO on thiolate groups and subsequent formation of a nitrogen-centred radical, MTSN•OH, as intermediate is proposed for the reaction of NO with MT that leads to zinc release.

The regioselective Friedländer reaction of 3-amino-4-cyanopyrroles with a series of cyclic ketones has enabled the first reported synthesis of substituted 4-azaisoindoles. Structurally, this new class of compounds stands for the first reported 4-azaisoindole tacrine analogues. A reaction mechanism for the formation of the reported 4-azaisoindoles is proposed.Key words: 4-azaisoindoles, tacrine, Friedländer reaction, pyrroles, mechanism.
