AbstractThis Short Review highlights various synthetic approaches to bridged azabicyclic ring systems containing seven-membered carbocyclic rings. Such ring systems are common to a number of biologically active natural products. The seven-membered ring in such systems is generally formed in one of four ways: 1) cyclization of an acyclic precursor; 2) ring expansion or rearrangement of a different ring size; 3) cycloaddition; and 4) use of a synthetic building block with the seven-membered ring already present. Representative examples of each approach from both total synthesis and methodological studies are discussed, with an emphasis on work publishedin the last twenty years.1 Introduction2 Cyclization Reactions3 Ring Expansions and Rearrangements4 Cycloadditions5 Strategies Involving Seven-Membered Ring Building Blocks6 Conclusion

A facile approach to hitherto unknown ten-membered ring systems via a hydrolytic imidazoline ring expansion (HIRE) is described. Medium-sized rings are scarce in the contemporary medicinal chemistry toolbox. The new HIRE strategy broadens the arsenal of synthetic methods to obtain such scaffolds.

The review is devoted to modern trends in the chemistry of 2-amino and 2-mercapto substituted benzothiazoles covering the literature since 2015. The reviewed heterocycles belong to biologically active and industrially demanded compounds. Newly developed synthesis methods can be divided into conventional multistep processes and one-pot, atom economy procedures, realized using green chemistry principles and simple reagents. The easy functionalization of the 2-NH2 and 2-SH groups and the benzene ring of the benzothiazole moiety allows considering them as highly reactive building blocks for organic and organoelement synthesis, including the synthesis of pharmacologically active heterocycles. The review provides a summary of findings, which may be useful for developing new drugs and materials and new synthetic approaches and patterns of reactivity.

In strong acids, such as FSO3H and 96% H2SO4, bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one and bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-7-one undergo a clean isomerization to form protonated cyclohept-2-enone and cyclohepta-2,4-dienone, respectively. Substituted derivatives undergo comparable ring expansions when dissolved in these strong acids. The seven-membered ring ketones can be recovered on quenching the acid solutions with a NaHCO3–ether mixture. In contrast, bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one when dissolved in FSO3H rearranged to give protonated 1-acetylcyclopentadiene. The mechanism and synthetic utility of these reactions is discussed.

: Carbon–carbon bond formation is the essence of organic synthesis, and for that, many strategies have been developed to accomplish this goal. Several of these strategies are conducted to form diverse structures bearing the α,α-diarylcarbonyl motif, in form of 1,2,2-triarylethanones, which are unities present in a number of natural products and biologically active compounds.These privileged carbonyl compounds have been used as building blocks or intermediates for the synthesis of dibenzo[a,c]phenanthridines, analogues of biologically active benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids, as well as, a useful synthon for Droloxifene and remarkably for Tamoxifen, the most widely used drug for the treatment of breast cancer. Focusing on the literature progress since 2000 to 2020 and considering the synthetic and biologically value of the aforementioned carbonyl compounds, the present review explores the diverse metal-free, metal-mediated, C–H bond activation, α-monoarylation, α,α-diarylation, umpolung processes, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), deoxygenation, among others,synthetic approaches directed to the synthesis of 1,2,2-triarylethanone derivatives. Moreover, several of their mechanistic proposals are also briefly discussed in this review. In view that most of these strategies are accompanied of carbon–carbon bonds formation through ketone-based α-arylation processes,the reported data are organized into concise Tables/Schemes to facilitate comparison, and to underscore the key points of this review.

Pyrimidine heterocycles are proven to be biologically active heterocycles, found in many biological systems, displaying a broad spectrum of biological activities including anticancer, anxiolytic, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, anticonvulsant, antidepressant and antibacterial activities. Recently, various synthetic approaches, synthetic strategy, the variation of substrates and study devoted towards the evaluation of biological activities for the pyrimidine heterocycles have been reported in the literature. This review article describes the synthesis of various biologically interesting pyrimidine heterocyclic ring systems using various nitrogen building blocks.

Utilizing thujone-derived intermediates, efficient routes to the natural polygodial family of antifeedants as well as novel analogues within this family are described. One of the key features of this study involves the insertion of an oxygen function into a tertiary carbon center adjacent to a cyclopropane ring system thus providing convenient intermediates for subsequent elaboration. An interesting ring expansion of five-membered to six-membered ring systems by means of tri-n-butyltin hydride is also described. Keywords: antifeedants, polygodial, thujone.

A catalytic synthesis of cyclic guanidines, which are found in many biologically active compounds and natu-ral products, was developed, wherein transition-metal hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover were employed. This mild and functional-group tolerant process enabled the cyclization of alkenyl guanidines bearing common protective groups, such as Cbz and Boc. This powerful method not only provided the common 5- and 6-membered rings but also an unusual 7-membered ring. The derivatization of the products afforded various heterocycles. We also investigated the se-lective cyclization of mono-protected or hetero-protected (TFA and Boc) alkenyl guanidines and their further derivatiza-tions.

Heterocyclic compounds are well known for their different biological activity. The heterocyclic analogs are the building blocks for synthesis of the pharmaceutical active compounds in the organic chemistry. These derivatives show various type of biological activity like anticancer, antiinflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-convulsant, anti-malarial, anti-hypertensive, etc. From the last decade research showed that the quinoline analogs plays a vital role in the development of newer medicinal active compounds for treating various type of disease. Quinoline reported for their antiviral, anticancer, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activity. This review will summarize the various synthetic approaches for synthesis of quinoline derivatives and to check their biological activity. Derivatives of quinoline moiety plays very important role in the development of various types of newer drugs and it can be used as lead compounds for future investigation in the field of drug discovery process.
