A versatile protocol for the synthesis of disubstituted 3-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by coupling 2-aminopyridine with phenylacetophenones, phenylacetones, or β-tetralone has been developed. Isolated yields of up to 97% were obtained at 80 °C within 5 h. The 2-aminopyridine/CBrCl system acts as an α-bromination shuttle by transferring Br from CBrCl to the α-carbon of the carbonyl moiety. This triggers a series of steps with double C-N/C-N bond formation to the final product. The distinct advantages of this protocol include the use of commercially available inexpensive substrates, simplicity of a metal-free one-pot synthesis, and ease of scale-up to multigram quantities.

FeO@HA-Cu(OAc) nanocomposite as a nanomagnetic water-compatible catalyst for efficient synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles in water.

A new humic acid-based nanomagnetic copper(II) composite was prepared and used as an eco-friendly recoverable catalyst for synthesizing 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The synthesis was done via the three-component click reaction of alkyl halide, sodium azide, and terminal alkyne with good to excellent yield. A simple magnetic copper acetate composite, FeO@HA-Cu(OAc), was prepared using humic acid and characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, EDS-mapping, VSM, TGA, AAS, and FT-IR.

A palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation with two different alcohols for the synthesis of cyclobutanecarboxylates bearing an α-quaternary carbon center is presented. The reaction utilizes readily accessible starting materials, tolerates a broad scope of functional groups, and provides a straightforward and efficient approach for the synthesis of a diverse array of cyclobutanecarboxylates bearing an α-quaternary carbon. Meanwhile, this strategy effectively prevents the transition-metal-catalyzed ring-opening of cyclobutanols, preserves the cyclobutane framework, and affords 1,1-disubstituted cyclobutanecarboxylates in high yields with excellent regioisomeric ratios.

The objective of the study was to synthesize tetrazole molecules featuring nitro groups positioned at the para and meta locations. We aimed to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion of mild steel in a 1 M HCl solution at 298 K. Tetrazoles with 2,5-disubstitution were created using [3 + 2] cycloaddition and N-alkylation techniques, with a particular emphasis on synthesizing molecules that contain nitro groups.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

In a search for dyes photoactivatable with visible light, fluorenes with substituents at positions 2 and 7 were prepared, and their absorption and emission spectra were studied. In particular, the synthesis route to 9-diazofluorenes with 2-(N,N-dialkylamino) and N-modified 7-(4-pyridyl) substituents was established. These compounds are initially non-fluorescent, undergo photolysis with UV or blue light, and-in non-polar media-provide orange- to red-emitting products with a large separation between absorption and emission bands.
