An efficient one-pot and simple multicomponent approach to the synthesis of highly functionalized furans containing dialkyl phenol.

In this study, arylglyoxals, acetylacetone, and 2,6-dimethyl phenol or 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol are combined to efficiently synthesize a series of 1-(4-(3,5-dialkylphenyl)-2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl) ethan-1-one derivatives in excellent yields. These reactions were carried out in acetone at reflux under catalyst-free conditions in the presence of triethylamine as a base for 3 h. NMR, FT-IR, EI-MS, and elemental studies were used to characterize the products' structural characteristics.

A facile one-pot synthesis of new functionalized pyrazolone-1,4-dithiafulvene hybrids.

In this study, a one-pot reaction between β-keto esters or dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with hydrazines, carbon disulfide, and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of triethylamine is reported. This reaction proceeded at room temperature and was completed within 6 h to produce functionalized pyrazolone-1,4-dithiafulvene hybrids in good yields.
