3,3′-Di-indolylmethane derivatives are important biologically active compounds possessing anti-cancer properties. Hence, development of synthetic routes to these are of great interest to organic chemists. In the present communication we report a high-yield method using mild reaction conditions and short reaction times for the synthesis of 3,3′-di-indolylmethane derivatives. The method involved reactions of indole and substituted indoles with C,N-disubstituted nitrones in the presence of acid catalysts, with the utilisation of microwave irradiation techniques. Reactions of indole, 2-methyl indole and 2-phenyl indole were performed with ten different C,N-diaryl- and C-aryl-N-methyl- nitrones in dichloromethane solution in the absence and presence of acid catalysts, viz. ytterbium triflate, p-toluene sulphonic acid and Montmorillonite clay K-10. Reaction times varied between 2 to 18 minutes. In general, yields of the catalysed reactions were above 75%. The products were characterised spectroscopically, including two-dimensional NMR studies. The microwave irradiation technique enhanced reaction rates by a significant amount. Ytterbium triflate proved to be the best catalyst, giving clean reactions, without formation of by-products, in high yields. The structure and conformation of 3,3′-di-indolyl-phenylmethane were computed. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: We report a high-yield method using mild reaction conditions and short reaction times for the synthesis of 3,3′-di-indolylmethane derivatives, involving reactions of indole and substituted indoles with C, N-disubstituted nitrones in the presence of acid catalysts using microwave irradiation.

The Arbuzov Reaction

Background: Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction has played a key role for the synthesis of dialkyl or diaryl phosphonates by reacting various alkyl or aryl halides with trialkyl or triaryl phosphite. This reaction is very versatile in the formation of P-C bond from the reaction of aliphatic halides with phosphinites or phosphites to yield phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphine oxides. The Arbuzov reaction developed some methodologies, possible mechanistic pathways, selectivity, potential applications and biologically active various phosphonates. Objective: The synthesis of phosphonates via Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction with many new and fascinating methodologies were developed and disclosed in the literature, and these are explored in this review. Conclusion: This review has discussed past developments and vast potential applications of Arbuzov reaction in the synthesis of organophosphonates. As presented in this review, various synthetic methodologies were developed to prepare a large variety of phosphonates. Improvements in the reaction conditions of Lewis-acid mediated Arbuzov rearrangement as well as the development of MW-assisted Arbuzov rearrangement were discussed. Finally, to achieve high selectivities and yields, fine-tuning of reaction conditions including solvent type, temperature, and optimal reaction times to be considered.

Background: A Lewis acid promoted efficient and facile procedure for one-pot synthesis of a novel series of fluoroquinolone clubbed with thiadiazoles motifs under microwave irradiation is described here. This technique has more advantages such as high yield, a clean procedure, low reaction time, simple work-up and use of Lewis acid catalyst. Objective: Our aim is to generate a biologically active 1,3,4- thiadiazole ring system by using a onepot synthesis method and microwave-assisted heating. High yield and low reaction time were the main purposes to synthesize bioactive fluoroquinolone clubbed 1,3,4- thiadiazole moiety. Methods: Fluoroquinolone Clubbed 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Motifs was prepared by Lewis acid promoted, one-pot synthesis, under microwave irradiation. All the synthesized molecules were determined by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and Mass spectra. The antimicrobial activity of synthesized compounds was examined against two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes), and three fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus clavatus) using the MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) method and antitubercular activity H37Rv using L. J. Slope Method. Results: Lewis acid promoted, one-pot synthesis of Fluoroquinolone clubbed 1,3,4-Thiadiazole motifs under microwave irradiation is an extremely beneficial method because of its low reaction time and good yield. Some of these novel derivatives showed moderate to good in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antitubercular activity. Conclusion: One-pot synthesis of 1,3,4-Thiadiazole by using Lewis acid catalyst gives a good result for saving time and also getting more production of novel heterocyclic compounds with good antimicrobial properties via microwave heating method.

The use of microwave irradiation for the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials has recently become a widespread area of research that continues to expand in scope and specialization. The growing demand for nanoscale materials with composition and morphology tailored to specific applications requires the development of facile, repeatable, and scalable synthetic routes that offer a high degree of control over the reaction environment. Microwave irradiation provides unique advantages for developing such routes through its direct interaction with active reaction species, which promotes homogeneous heat distribution, increased reaction rates, greater product quality and yield, and use of mild reaction conditions. Many catalytic nanomaterials such as noble metal nanoparticles and intricate nanocomposites have very limited synthetic routes due to their extreme temperature sensitivity and difficulty achieving homogeneous growth. This work presents recent advances in the use of MW irradiation methods to produce high-quality nanoscale composites with controlled size, morphology, and architecture.

N-Arylated aliphatic and aromatic amines are important substituents in many biologically active compounds. In the last few years, transition-metal-mediated N-aryl bond formation has become a standard procedure for the introduction of amines into aromatic systems. While N-arylation of simple aromatic halides by simple amines works with many of the described methods in high yield, the reactions may require detailed optimization if applied to the synthesis of complex molecules with additional functional groups, such as natural products or drugs. We discuss and compare in this review the three main N-arylation methods in their application to the synthesis of biologically active compounds: Palladium-catalysed Buchwald–Hartwig-type reactions, copper-mediated Ullmann-type and Chan–Lam-type N-arylation reactions. The discussed examples show that palladium-catalysed reactions are favoured for large-scale applications and tolerate sterically demanding substituents on the coupling partners better than Chan–Lam reactions. Chan–Lam N-arylations are particularly mild and do not require additional ligands, which facilitates the work-up. However, reaction times can be very long. Ullmann- and Buchwald–Hartwig-type methods have been used in intramolecular reactions, giving access to complex ring structures. All three N-arylation methods have specific advantages and disadvantages that should be considered when selecting the reaction conditions for a desired C–N bond formation in the course of a total synthesis or drug synthesis.

AbstractMorpholinium hydrogen sulfate as an ionic liquid was employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of a biologically active series of multi-substituted imidazoles by a four-component reaction involving the combination of benzil with different aromatic aldehydes, ammonium acetate, and 1-amino-2-propanol under solvent-free conditions. The key advantages of this method are shorter reaction times, very high yield, and ease of processing. Furthermore, the resulting products can be purified by a non-chromatographic method and the ionic liquid catalyst is reusable. All of these novel compounds have been fully characterized from spectral data. The X-ray crystal structures of two representative molecules are also detailed.

The polycondensations of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine with two acids, 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid) and hexafluoroisopropylidene bis(benzoic acid), were conducted in Eaton’s reagent at the unusually high temperature of 180°C and under microwave irradiation at 90°C. Both protocols resulted in soluble polybenzimidazoles, OPBI and CF3PBI, of high molecular weights in very short reaction times. The synthesized polybenzimidazoles exhibited high thermostability and excellent mechanical properties. The influence of the reaction conditions on the polymer structure and molecular weights was studied. The “microwave effect” was demonstrated by comparison of the polycondensations conducted under microwave irradiation and conventional heating.

Herein we report the 3,5bistrifluoromethylphenyl urea-catalyzed functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds. In this system, the urea catalyst mediates the formation of high-energy vinyl carbocations that undergo facile C–H insertion and Friedel–Crafts reactions. We introduce a new paradigm for these privileged scaffolds where the combination of hydrogen bonding motifs and strong bases affords highly active Lewis acid catalysts capable of ionizing strong C–O bonds. Despite the highly Lewis acidic nature of these catalysts that enables triflate abstraction from sp<sup>2</sup> carbons, these newly found reaction conditions allow for the formation of heterocycles and tolerate highly Lewis basic heteroaromatic substrates. This strategy showcases the potential utility of dicoordinated vinyl carbocations in organic synthesis.<br>
