This is the first report of a simple and general method for acetalization­ of aldehydes via an α-chymotrypsin-induced reaction under mild conditions. A broad range of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes have been acetalized under neutral conditions in good yields using a catalytic amount of chymotrypsin.

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.

A practical, mild and efficient protocol for the Pictet–Spengler reaction catalyzed by cyanuric chloride (trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, TCT) is described. The 6-endo cyclization of tryptophan/tryptamine and modified Pictet–Spengler substrates with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating aldehydes was carried out by using a catalytic amount of TCT (10 mol %) in DMSO under a nitrogen atmosphere. TCT catalyzed the Pictet–Spengler reaction involving electron-donating aldehydes in excellent yield. Thus, it has a distinct advantage over the existing methodologies where electron-donating aldehydes failed to undergo 6-endo cyclization. Our methodology provided broad substrate scope and diversity. This is indeed the first report of the use of TCT as a catalyst for the Pictet–Spengler reaction.

2-Substituted benzimidazoles are selectively synthesised in high yields via the condensation of o-phenylenediamine derivatives with aldehyde derivatives using catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid coated natural phosphate (NP/PTSA) under mild conditions. The use of NP/PTSA as a reusable catalyst makes this process simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly.

A general method for the preparation of aromatic poly(amide-imide)s, which involves the palladium-catalysed polycondensation of aromatic dibromides containing imide structural units, aromatic diamines and carbon monoxide, has been developed. Polymerizations were carried out in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in the presence of palladium catalyst, triphenylphosphine and 1,8-diazabicycIo[5,4,0]-7-undecene (DBU), and gave a series of poly(amide-imide)s with inherent viscosities up to 0.66 dl g-1 under mild conditions. The polymers were quite soluble in strong acids, dipolar aprotic solvents and pyridine. Thermogravimetry of the polymers showed excellent thermal stability, indicating that 10% weight losses of the polymers were observed in the range above 460C in air. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers ranged from 240 to 262C. These polymers also showed good tensile strengths and moduli.

The intermolecular reductive coupling cyclisation of 3,3-diaryl-2-cyanoacrylonitriles or ethyl 3,3-diaryl-2-cyano-acrylates with aromatic nitriles with magnesium and catalytic iodine in THF afforded 3 H-pyrroles in good yields under neutral and mild conditions.
