Abstract: The synthesis of a third generation dronic acid, zoledronic acid by the reaction of imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid with phosphorus trichloride/phosphorous acid in diethyl carbonate (DEC) as a "green" solvent, and in DEC – methanesulfonic acid (MSA) solvent mixtures is described. The earlier not "green" and expensive MSA and sulfolane solvents may be re-placed by DEC

Abstract According to literature, the synthesis of dronic acid derivatives from the corresponding carboxylic acids using phosphorus trichloride and phosphorous acid as the P-reactants is controversial, due to the wide range of molar ratios and diverse conditions. In this minireview, we summarize our results on the clarification of these problems. For example, with zoledronic acid and risedronic acid, we found that, using methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as the solvent, 3.2 equivalents of phosphorus trichloride was enough. Generalizing this optimized method, etidronate, fenidronate, ibandronate and alendronate were obtained in yields of 38%–57%, which is reasonable for valuable dronates, and in most cases, with high purities. Mechanistic aspects are also discussed.

Dronic acid derivatives, important drugs against bone diseases, may be synthesized from the corresponding substituted acetic acid either by reaction with phosphorus trichloride in methanesulfonic acid as the solvent or by using also phosphorous acid as the P-reactant if sulfolane is applied as the medium. The energetics of the two protocols were evaluated by high-level quantum chemical calculations on the formation of fenidronic acid and benzidronic acid. The second option, involving (HO)2P‑O‑PCl2 as the nucleophile, was found to be more favorable over the first variation, comprising Cl2P‑O‑SO2Me as the real reagent, especially for the case of benzidronate.

Background: The synthesis of high value risedronic acid is not fully resolved, as, for the time being, the best method based on the preparation from 3-pyridylcarboxylic acid by reaction with phosphorus trichloride in methanesulfonic acid gives risedronic acid in a good yield, but in an unpure form. Methods: Alternative protocols realizing the synthesis in sulfolane as the solvent and/or in the presence of suitable IL additive were developed to obtain the target dronic acid in a pure form. Results & Conclusion: Using phosphorus trichloride and phosphorous acid in two equivalents quantities together with 0.6 equivalents of [bmim][BF4] without any solvent, the method afforded the target dronic acid in a yield of 66% in a pure form.

AbstractThe hydrochlorination, hydrobromination, and hydroiodination of unactivated alkenes using methanesulfonic acid and inorganic halide salts (CaCl2, LiBr, LiI) in acetic acid are reported. This approach uses readily available and inexpensive reagents to provide the alkyl halides in up to 99% yield. An example of deuteriochlorination using deuterated acetic acid as the solvent is also demonstrated.

compound 2-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thio)acetic acid (1) with o-aminobenzamide (2) gave compound (2-[1-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-ethylsulfanyl]-3H-quinazolin-4-one (3). 3 could also be syntehsized by an alternative two routes scheme 2 and scheme 3. It appears from scheme 3 that it is giving good yields under green and eco-friendly conditions using PEG-600 (polyethylent glycol). Compound 10 was synthesized in two routes scheme4 and scheme 5. It appears from Route B (Scheme 4) that it is giving good yields: alkylation followed by oxidation in route A followed by alkylation in PEG-600 used as a green solvent. The total sequence of reactions has been carried out using eco-friendly and green conditions. Further, anticancer activity was carried out by using docking studies and binding conformation of active compounds of 3, 8, 9 and 10. The results show that 3 and 9 have potential to be developed as chemotherapeutic agents and compounds 3, 9 molecule showed best fit, potent dock score when compared with doxorubicin.
