We report the first in situ reaction of the β-haloketones obtained from laccase catalysed oxidation of secondary alcohol 2-halo phenylethanol's in present study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever fusion of laccase catalysed oxidation reaction with green organic synthetic reaction. The methodology employs molecular oxygen to oxidize secondary alcohol in biphasic medium by laccase from T.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating new oral antileishmanial compounds by synthesizing 4,5-dihydrofuran derivatives with an amidoxime group.
  • A previously identified compound showed effective inhibition against Leishmania parasites, prompting researchers to modify the structure by substituting an aliphatic group at position 3 of the ring.
  • The synthesis utilized microwave-assisted oxidation methods, leading to aliphatic derivatives that demonstrated promising biological activity, particularly against the amastigote form of Leishmania.

A simple and high-yielding strategy to produce a variety of β-keto sulfides using asymmetrical and symmetrical thiosulfonates with ketones under mild conditions is reported. It was found that the various substituted compounds, with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, afforded a wide range of β-keto thiosulfones (α-thioaryl-β-keto sulfones) in moderate to high yields. The transformations were reliable at the gram-scale, thus illustrating their efficiency and practicality.

An efficient visible-light-induced synthesis of vinyl sulfones has been accomplished via decarboxylative sulfonylation of cinnamic acids using sulfonylazides, -toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide, and β-keto sulfones as sulfonyl source, in the presence of inexpensive organic photocatalysts like rhodamine B and eosin Y. The reaction is facile, straightforward, and endowed with wide substrate scope and functional group tolerability.
