Background: Recently, there has been a lot of scientific interest in exploring the syntheses of oxygen and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds due to their pharmacological activities. In addition, benzisoxazoles play a very important role in organic synthesis as key intermediates.
Objective: In this paper, we focused on developing a novel synthetic route for biologically active arylisoxazoles under normal conditions, and simplified it to get high purities and yields, and also reported their anti-inflammatory activities.
Methods: An efficient and simple method has been explored for the synthesis of novel 3-methyl arylisoxazoles from o-nitroaryl halides via o-ethoxyvinylnitroaryls, using dihydrated stannous chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) in MeOH / EtOAc (1:1) via Domino rearrangement in one pot synthesis.
Results: We synthesized novel 3-methylarylisoxazoles from o-nitroarylhalides via o-ethoxyvinylnitroaryls, using dihydrated stannous chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) in MeOH / EtOAc (1:1) via domino rearrangement. In this reduction, nitro group and ethoxy vinyl group change to the functional acyl ketones, followed by hetero cyclization. Here, the reaction proceeds without the isolation of intermediates like 2-acylnitroarenes and 2- acylanilines. All the synthesized compounds were completely characterized by the NMR and mass spectra. The compounds were also explored for their anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced inflammation in the albino rats (150-200 g) of either sex used in this entire study with the use of Diclofenac sodium as the standard drug. The initial evaluations identified leading targets with good to moderate anti-inflammatory activity.
Conclusion: A simple, one-pot and convenient method has been explored for the synthesis of novel 3- methylarylisoxazoles with high purity and reaction yields. All the compounds 3a, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g and 3h exhibited 51-64% anti-inflammatory activities.

The synthesis of the biologically active alkaloid huajiaosimulne, isolated from the roots of Zanthoxylum simulans, is reported. The natural product was assembled from simple commercial reagents via initial domino Knoevenagel/oxa-6π-electrocyclization followed by epoxidation and an epoxide/ketone rearrangement promoted by Zn(OTf). In vitro cytotoxicity assays identified natural products huajiaosimuline and simulansine as moderate antiproliferative agents against murine colon cancer CT26 cells.

A synthetic method was developed for the generation of a quaternary carbon center in carbonyl compounds. This innovative process involved the reaction of α-thiolate lactones and cycloalkanones with two equivalents of arynes in acetonitrile to give α,α-diarylated products in 63-85% yields at 25 °C. The reaction unfolds through an unconventional domino process, encompassing sequential 1,2-elimination, 1,2-nucleophilic addition, 1,4-proton transfer, the second 1,2-nucleophilic addition, interrupted Pummerer rearrangement, intramolecular spirocyclization, and sulfonium ring-opening.

A three-step synthesis of anti-amoebic, ring-fused mackinazolinones has been developed. A Mannich-type reaction between quinazolin-4-ones and -Cbz propanal in the presence of AgOTf afforded quinazolinones (19-94% isolated yield) bearing a newly formed heterocycle with an alkylamine appendage that, upon -Cbz deprotection and basification, triggered a domino rearrangement to afford 45 separable, ring-fused products. Several compounds inhibited growth of parasites that can cause a lethal human brain infection.

Herein, we report a novel strategy of hypervalent iodine(III) compound-mediated selective C-C bond cleavage of alkynes and C═N/N-O bond cleavage of nitrones and recombination of C-C/C-O/C-N multiple bonds to access various functionalized [1,4]oxazinones bearing a vicinal carbon stereocenter in good yields and high diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction undergoes a domino [4 + 3] cycloaddition, 1,3-rearrangement of N-O bond, intramolecular cyclization, dearomatization, and rearomatization over four steps in a single flask. The present method features good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, and C-C/C═N/N-O multiple bonds cleavage and recombination.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a new method for creating fluorinated heterocycles by utilizing a Pd(II)-catalyzed process that efficiently converts homoallylic amides into 5,6-dihydro-4-1,3-oxazines in just one step.
- - This process involves a complex sequence of reactions including oxypalladation, Pd oxidation, dyotropic rearrangement, and reductive elimination, resulting in the formation of three new chemical bonds.
- - Additionally, the research develops a one-pot method that transforms these starting materials into homologated ketones via a unique regioselective Wacker oxidation reaction of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes.
