- Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Catalyzed Epoxidation of β-Cyanostyrenes
-
A convenient approach for the synthesis of β-cyanoepoxides is illustrated by iodine(III)-catalyzed epoxidation of electron-deficient β-cyanostyrenes, wherein the active catalytic iodine(III) species was generated in situ. The epoxidation of β-cyanostyrenes was performed using 10 molpercent PhI as precatalyst in the presence of 2.0 equivalents Oxone as an oxidant and 2.4 equivalents of TFA as an additive at room temperature under ultrasonic radiations. The β-cyanoepoxides were isolated in good to excellent yields in a short reaction time.

- The Knoevenagel condensation using quinine as an organocatalyst under solvent-free conditions
-
The Knoevenagel condensation between active methylene compounds and aromatic carobonyl compounds has been developed using quinine as an organocatalyst to afford various electrophilic alkenes in excellent yields (up to 90%). In the presence of a catalytic amount of quinine (15 mol%), the reaction proceeded at room temperature (RT) under solvent-free conditions. In this green approach, the organocatalyst was recovered and recycled for up to four cycles without appreciable loss of activity.

- A functionalized UiO-66 MOF for turn-on fluorescence sensing of superoxide in water and efficient catalysis for Knoevenagel condensation
-
In the present work, a new MOF material of the UiO-family called Zr-UiO-66-NH-CH2-Py (1) has been obtained by the solvothermal technique and successfully characterized. The MOF structure was assembled with 2-((pyridin-4-ylmethyl) amino) terephthalic acid (H2BDC-NH-CH2-Py) as linker and Zr4+ ion. The activated form of 1 (called 1′) exhibits considerable thermal and chemical stability. Compound 1′ showed a very rapid and selective response for the fluorometric sensing of superoxide (O2·-) in aqueous medium even in the presence of the potentially competitive reactive oxygen species (ROS). The limit of detection value for O2·- sensing is 0.21 μM, which is comparable with those of the reported O2·- sensors. This is the first MOF based fluorescent sensor for the detection of O2·-. The response time of this MOF sensor for O2·- is very short (240 s). On the other hand, 1′ was employed as a solid heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate at 80 °C in ethanol resulting in a very high yield of the desired product. The effects of the esterified linker ((CH3)2BDC-NH-CH2-Py) and the corresponding metal salt (ZrCl4) on this catalytic reaction were examined separately. We have also tested the substrate scope elaborately for the catalytic reaction promoted by catalyst 1′.

- Straightforward syntheses of nitriles, acrylates, and acrylamides in aqueous propan-1,2-diol: A catalyst free and waste free methodology
-
A mild, elegant, catalyst free, and waste free methodology has been developed for the clear-cut synthesis of a diverse range of nitriles, acrylates, and acrylamides in good to excellent yields using aqueous propan-1,2-diol, a green reaction medium, at ambient temperature. Operational simplicity and recyclability of the reaction medium are added advantages of the methodology.

- A highly efficient protocol for the regio- and stereo-selective synthesis of spiro pyrrolidine and pyrrolizidine derivatives by multicomponent reaction
-
A series of novel spiro[acenaphthylene-1,2′-pyrrolidine] (4), spiro[acenaphthylene-1,2′-pyrrolizidine] (7), and spiro[indoline-3, 2′-pyrrolidine] derivatives (9) containing cyano group were successfully synthesized via a three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of acenaphthenequinone or isatin, sarcosine or proline, and Knoevenagel adducts in refluxing aqueous methanol. In this intermolecular three-component combinatorial process it is amazing that three stereogenic centers with one spiro carbon are controlled very well. The structure and relative stereo-chemistry of cycloadducts were carried out by single crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as by the help of 1H, 13C, and HMBC spectroscopy.

- Reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with benzal-4-acetylanilines: An unexpected result
-
Reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with benzal-4-acetylanilines 1a-10a, the compounds containing both azomethine and ketone linkages, in equimolar ratio, in the presence of pyridine yields solid products, which have been characterized as ethyl benzal-cyanoacetate and its derivatives 1b-10b on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral studies. The reaction of 1a-10a with two moles of ethyl cyanoacetate also results in the formation of the same products 1b-10b, by an unexpected attack of ethyl cyanoacetate on azomethine linkage only rather than on both the reactive centres i.e. carbon-nitrogen double bond and carbon-oxygen double bond.

- Phosphane-Catalyzed Knoevenagel Condensation: A Facile Synthesis of α-Cyanoacrylates and α-Cyanoacrylonitriles
-
Triphenylphosphane (TPP) has been utilized as a novel and efficient catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with acidic methylene compounds such as ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile to afford substituted olefins. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild and solvent-free conditions and the products are obtained in excellent yields with an E-geometry. This method is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes including aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic substrates. Microwave irradiation has been used to achieve enhanced reaction rates and improved yields. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.
