Methanesulfonic acid has been found to be a highly effective catalyst for a convenient and one-pot synthesis of 2-substituted benzoxazoles by the reaction of 2-aminophenol with acid chlorides, generated in situ from carboxylic acids. Aryl, heteroaryl, and arylalkyl carboxylic acids provided excellent yields of the corresponding benzoxazoles. The reaction conditions were compatible with various substituents such as chloro, bromo, nitro, methoxy, cyclopentyloxy, phenoxy, thiophenoxy, and conjugated double bonds. Benzoxazole formation was found to be general with respect to substituted 2-aminophenols.

Studies on a one-pot synthesis of novel multisubstituted 1-alkoxyindoles 1 and their mechanistic investigations are presented. The synthesis of 1 was successfully achieved through consecutive four step reactions from substrates 2. The substrates 2, prepared through a two-step synthetic sequence, underwent three consecutive reactions of nitro reduction, intramolecular condensation, and nucleophilic 1,5-addition to provide the intermediates, 1-hydroxyindoles 8, which then were alkylated in situ with alkyl halide to afford the novel target products 1. We optimized the reaction conditions for 1 focusing on the alkylation step, along with the consideration of formation of intermediates 8. The optimized condition was SnCl2·2H2O (3.3 eq) and alcohols (R1OH, 2.0 eq) for 1–2 h at 40 °C and then, base (10 eq) and alkyl halides (R2Y, 2.0 eq) for 1–4 h at 25–50 °C. Notably, all four step reactions were performed in one-pot to give 1 in good to modest yields. Furthermore, the mechanistic aspects were also discussed regarding the reaction pathways and the formation of side products. The significance lies in development of efficient one-pot reactions and in generation of new 1-alkoxyindoles.

A metal- and catalyst-free reductive alkylation protocol for the one-pot synthesis of 5-monoalkylbarbiturates from barbituric acids and aldehydes using the in situ generated chemoselective reducing agent 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole from 2-aminothiophenol and benzaldehyde is described. The notable advantages of the protocol are operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, high yield, short reaction time, and simple workup and purification process which make it highly attractive.

A convenient ultrasound-assisted one-pot synthesis of N-acylcyanamides starting from readily available carboxylic acids and sodium cyanamide has been developed. Upon activation in the presence of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and triphenylphosphine, a range of carboxylic acids was converted into N-acylcyanamides in good to excellent yields within 10 minutes at room temperature without base. Remarkably, N-acyl-substituted imidazolones were readily accessible through guanylation-cyclization of the in situ generated N-acylcyanamides.

<p>The rapid and environmental synthetic route to produce 1<em>H</em>-indazolo[1,2-b] phthalazine-1,6,11-triones and 1<em>H</em>-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-diones derivatives have been developed <em>via</em> multicomponent and one-pot reactions of various aldehydes, cyclic or acyclic 1,3-diketones with: <em>i)</em> phthalhydrazide or <em>ii)</em> phthalic anhydride-hydrazinium hydroxide using wet 2,4,6-trichlorotriazine (TCT) as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Simple and mild reaction conditions, the use of a cheap catalyst and easy workup and isolation are notable features of this method.</p>
