Background: The Knoevenagel condensation is an important reaction in organic chemistry because of its capacity to form new C-C bonds and its products are mainly used in organic synthesis as intermediates, due to the large number of reactions they can undergo. Based on the importance of the Knoevenagel adducts, a sustainable synthetic methodology was developed employing microwave irradiation. Objective: Develop a synthetic methodology employing microwave irradiation and green solvents to obtain Knoevenagel adducts with high yields. Methods: Knoevenagel condensation reactions were evaluated with different basic catalysts, as well as in the presence or absence of microwave irradiation. The scope of the reaction was expanded using different aldehydes, cyanoacetamide or methyl cyanoacetate. The geometry of the formed products was also evaluated. Results: After the optimization process, the reactions between aldehydes and cyanoacetamide were performed with triethylamine as catalyst, in the presence of microwave irradiation, in 35 minutes, using NaCl solution as solvent and resulted in high yields 90-99%. The reactions performed between aldehydes and methyl cyanoacetate were also performed under these conditions, but showed better yields with EtOH as solvent 70-90%. Finally, from X-ray analysis, the (E)-geometry of these compounds was confirmed. Conclusion: In this study we developed synthetic methodology of Knoevenagel condensation using triethylamine, green solvents and microwave irradiation. In 35 minutes, products with high yields (70- 99%) were obtained and the (E)-geometry of the adducts was confirmed.

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) which was found to be effective catalyst for Friedel-Crafts benzoylation reaction in the presence of deep eutectic solvent (DES). The method is one of the most important intermediates for preparing fine chemicals in the field of pharmaceuticals, which is a tool for organic syntheses of aromatic ketones. ZnO precursor was prepared from Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O and H2C2O4.2H2O, ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by using X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The benzoylation of aromatic compounds and benzoyl chloride using nanoparticles ZnO/ [CholineCl][Urea]2, under microwave irradiation afforded the desired products in high yields and short reaction times. The catalyst/solvent could be recycled several times without loss of efficient catalytic activity.

AbstractA new octaphenyl[4.4]triphenylparacyclophanediene was readily synthesized in six steps from p-xylene via the installment of bromine atoms, replacement with a vinyl group, carbonylative coupling, intermolecular followed by intramolecular double Grubbs olefin metathesis, Knoevenagel condensation, and Diels–Alder cycloaddition. The belt-shaped structure and trans-stereochemistry of the alkene moieties of the octaphenyl[4.4]triphenylparacyclophane and a synthetic intermediate, 2,21-dioxo-11,30-diene[3.4.3.4]paracyclophane, were determined by X-ray crystallography. The synthetic methodology leading to octaphenyl[4.4]triphenylparacyclophane is applicable for the synthesis of substituted triphenylparacyclophanes and possibly their corresponding bis-hexabenzocoronenylparacyclophanes via a Scholl–Mullen oxidative aryl-aryl coupling reaction.

The [DBN][HSO4] -promoted Knoevenagel condensation followed by cyclization protocol has been developed for the first time by a successive reaction of aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile to afford 2-Amino-4H-pyrans derivatives in high to excellent yields at room temperature. The synergic couple of microwave and ionic liquid provided the capability to allow a variability of functional groups, short reaction times, easy workup, high yields, recyclability of the catalyst, and solvent-free conditions, thus providing economic and environmental advantages. Keywords: [DBN][HSO4], Environmentally benign, 2-Amino-4H-pyrans, Knoevenagel condensation, Microwave irradiation

Ionic liquids (ILs) as “green solvents” provided an effective and efficient procedure for Knoevenagel condensation reactions. It is applicable for a large range of aldehydes, ketones with active methylene compounds. ILs can significantly promote the reaction rates. High yields and selectivity of products have been observed. ILs can be recycled and reused. In this paper, the recent achievements of Knoevenagel condensation reactions promoted by ILs are reviewed.

An effective methodology has been developed for the synthesis of enantiopure 2,2'-dialkynylated 1,1'-binaphthalene derivatives. Enantiopure 2,2'-diiodo-1,1'-binaphthalene (10) provided 2,2'-diethynyl-1,1'-binaphthalene (16) in the Negishi alkynylation supported by microwave irradiation in a very good yield with conservation of stereochemical information. The Stephen-Castro alkynylation of 10 afforded products in lower yields; however, in stereoconservative manner as well. Terminal diacetylene 16 served as precursor in the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction to give new bispyridine derivatives 7-9 as potential ligands in moderate to high yields. Coordination of bispyridines with Zn2+ and Ag+ ions was observed by NMR and CD spectroscopy. The coordination ability of bis(2-pyridylethynyl) derivative 7 to palladium cation was determined by X-ray structure analysis.

As of the last twenty years a new wave in organic chemistry has started to change the way people think about putting energy into a reaction mixture. Microwave-promoted organic synthesis is a fast, efficient method of heating a system in order to achieve the completion of a desired reaction. There are many different types of reactions that have been attempted using this method, and still many more to be tested. Microwave-promoted organic synthesis can help to produce high yields of products in a short time, while reducing side reactions and making workups easier. This paper discusses the many benefits of microwave-promoted organic synthesis and gives various examples.

A facile protocol involving Tebby zwitterions (PPh3-acetylenic esters) and the Knoevenagel condensation product of acenaphthylene-1,2-dione with malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate for the selective synthesis of a new series of perinaphthenone derivatives is described. Triphenylphosphine plays a catalytic role in these transformations. The structure of a typical product was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The merits of this method include high yields of products, good atom economy, and a metal-free catalyst.
