: The radical was first come into existence in 1900 by Gomberg, where the triphenylmethane radical was explored. Thus, even to date, two centuries have seen radical chemistry as the methodology of preference in organic synthesis. Due to the fascinating nature of the radical-mediated cyclization reactions, it always caught the eye of organic chemists for the synthesis of novel organic compounds with diverse stereochemistry. Moreover, the development of radical methods further proves beneficial for the synthesis by providing atom- and step-economical methods to complex molecules. Among these, where radical chemistry has been employed, the use of tin-based radical annulation is the most common and widely used field for the synthesis of a wide range of organic reactions with medicinal importance. In this review, we compiled recent tin-mediated radical cyclization reactions toward the synthesis of molecules of biological significance.

Enzymatic Desymmetrization

Symmetric organic compounds are generally obtained inexpensively, and therefore they can be attractive building blocks for the total synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and natural products. The drawback is that discriminating the identical functional groups in the symmetric compounds is difficult. Water is the most environmentally benign and inexpensive solvent. However, successful organic reactions in water are rather limited due to the hydrophobicity of organic compounds in general. Therefore, desymmetrization reactions in aqueous media are expected to offer versatile strategies for the synthesis of a variety of significant organic compounds. This review focuses on the recent progress of desymmetrization reactions of symmetric organic compounds in aqueous media without utilizing enzymes.

Laccases are multicopper oxidases, which have been widely investigated in recent decades thanks to their ability to oxidize organic substrates to the corresponding radicals while producing water at the expense of molecular oxygen. Besides their successful (bio)technological applications, for example, in textile, petrochemical, and detoxifications/bioremediations industrial processes, their synthetic potentialities for the mild and green preparation or selective modification of fine chemicals are of outstanding value in biocatalyzed organic synthesis. Accordingly, this review is focused on reporting and rationalizing some of the most recent and interesting synthetic exploitations of laccases. Applications of the so-called laccase-mediator system (LMS) for alcohol oxidation are discussed with a focus on carbohydrate chemistry and natural products modification as well as on bio- and chemo-integrated processes. The laccase-catalyzed Csp2-H bonds activation via monoelectronic oxidation is also discussed by reporting examples of enzymatic C-C and C-O radical homo- and hetero-couplings, as well as of aromatic nucleophilic substitutions of hydroquinones or quinoids. Finally, the laccase-initiated domino/cascade synthesis of valuable aromatic (hetero)cycles, elegant strategies widely documented in the literature across more than three decades, is also presented.

: The role of oxindole derivatives is discussed as starting materials in diverse organic reactions including two and more components between the years 2014 until 2020. Oxindoles are famous because of their biological properties for instance chromanone-fused polycyclic pyrrolidinyl-dispirooxindoles, functionalized polycyclic spiro-fused carbocyclicoxindole, and 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles have anti-cancer, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial properties, respectively. Therefore, various methods for synthesizing the oxindole structures have received more attention in organic chemistry.

32 Factorial Design

In the era of environment friendly chemistry, Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS) has proved to be an effective tool to achieve maximum yield in minimum time without compromising on quality. The present work focuses on synthesis of some bioactive heterocyclic azoles using MAOS. However, the synthetic reactions are optimized using a known technique of factorial designing. Here, 32 factorial design approach is used to achieve the set targets of yields and purity. The outcome has been very promising and opens up new avenues for organic chemists who face challenges in optimizing organic reactions.
