The usage of nanoparticles in tissue engineering applications has increased significantly in the last several years. Functional tissues are developed by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration on nanostructured scaffolds containing cells. These scaffolds provide an environment that is more structurally supportive than the microarchitecture of natural bone. Given its exceptional properties, such as its osteogenic potential, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, chitosan is a good and promising biomaterial. Unfortunately, chitosan's low mechanical strength makes it unsuitable for load-bearing applications. By mixing chitosan with other biomaterials, this drawback might be mitigated. Bone tissue engineering uses both bioresorbable materials like tricalcium phosphate and bioactive materials like hydroxyapatite and bioglass. Alumina and titanium are examples of bioinert materials that are part of these bioceramics. When produced at nanoscale scales, these materials have a larger surface area and better cell adhesion. This review paper will go into great detail on the bioinert, bioresorbable, and bioactive nanoceramics-reinforced chitosan scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Friedel-Crafts acylation (FCAcyl) is the most widespread method used to prepare aryl ketones and aldehydes. However, depending on the type of group attached to the benzene, their derivatives influence the electronic characteristics and structural orientations of the compounds during acylation; thus, the groups are very important for the success of the reaction. The existence of strong electron-donating groups, such as polyhydroxy/ polyalkoxyphenols and anilines on the aromatic ring, makes this reaction difficult. To overcome these problems and with the aim of obtaining aromatic ketones from benzene compounds, appropriate methodologies were described. Therefore, this review consists of showing the importance and applicability of the Houben- Hoesch and Sugasawa reactions as alternatives for the Friedel-Crafts acylation of polyhydroxy/ polyalkoxyphenols and anilines, respectively. The main advances used in the original methodologies were also described. The use of these reactions as an alternative to the renowned Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions should be taken into consideration as an important synthetic tool because there is the possibility of reducing steps, with consequent improvement of yield, in addition to optimizing reaction performance.

Nowadays, polyheterocyclic moieties are playing an important role in drug discovery. Many natural products contain a wide variety of polyheterocycles. Very recently among many other polyheterocycles, benzo[a]phenazine skeleton has gained huge attention due to their broad range of pharmacological efficacies which include anti-plasmodial, antitumor, antimalarial, anticancer, etc. activities. Interestingly, benzo[a]phenazin-5-ol derivatives have been used further as a template for the synthesis of structurally diverse biologically promising polyheterocycles under various reaction conditions. In this review, we have summarized all the recent developments related to the synthesis of structurally diverse biologically promising polyheterocycles involving benzo[a]phenazin-5-ol as a starting reagent or as an intermediate.

: Polysubstituted pyridine derivatives were producedwith high to excellent yields in the presence of nitrogen-doped graphene (NDG) as a dual acid–based catalyst. NDG efficiently catalyzes the multicomponent reaction between arylaldehydes, diethyl-acetylene dicarboxylates, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate under solvent-free conditions at 80°C to afford the polysubstituted pyridines in short reaction times. The structures of the synthesized pyridines were established by Ft-IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopic analysis. The advantages of this method include the in-situ oxidation of prepared 1,4-dihydropyridines, one-pot procedure, solventless system, operational simplicity, and no column chromatography. Additionally, neither toxic solvents nor catalysts are needed, and the procedure can be very reliable among the reported methodologies. The yields and reaction times in the presence of four times recycled catalyst are in comparable to the fresh catalyst. background: Graphene quantum dots have attracted considerable attention of chemists because of their unique properties such as: stability, non-toxicity, good water solubility, biocompatibility. In continuation of our interest in using ionic liquids, water or solvent-free systems as green reaction media in organic reactions for the synthesis of important compounds , we wish to report here efficient synthesis of polysubstituted pyridine derivatives in high to excellent yields using Nitrogen-doped graphene as efficient catalyst.

: Recently, the concept of mechanoredox chemistry has been proposed and well-developed in organic synthesis. Mechanoredox chemistry is conceptually similar to a photocatalyst reaction system, where piezoelectric materials are introduced to the reaction system in a manner analogous to photoredox catalysis. These reactions feature the ability to generate high-value radicals that do not require harsh reaction conditions of anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, an expensive photocatalyst, and the use of solvents, which renders these transformations highly industrially applicable. In addition, mechanoredox chemistry is also an emerging interdisciplinary research field that combines material chemistry with synthetic chemistry to create more useful reactions. This review provides a comprehensive summary of progress to date in the specific transformation and related mechanisms of piezoelectric-mediated mechanoredox reactions by ball milling in organic synthesis.

: Azepine is a privileged nitrogen-containing ring that has been found to display a wide range of biological activities. Azepine is a valuable skeleton in designing novel compounds in medicinal chemistry due to its interesting chemical and biological properties. The study on the synthesis of this ring system engenders a fascinating area of research owing to its potential to form an active pharmacophore for De Novo exploration. In this study, conventional and domino results were compared to access the diverse set of azepines in high yield. The domino approach has revolutionized the way through which the previously impossible yet significant transformations could be conceptualized, allowing the construction of difficult materials in one step. The aim of the present mini-review is to highlight the importance of the one-pot domino reaction for the synthesis of condensed azepines. This review also presents research on this subject from the past two decades.

: Trihaloisocyanuric acids [1,3,5-trihalo-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)-triones] are commercially available or easily prepared solids. They are highly reactive, stable, easily handled, and have an excellent atom economy, transferring up to three halogen atoms to organic substrates. In these regards, the present review summarizes their synthetic applications as safe and convenient reagents. Therefore, electrophilic halogenation reactions of alkenes, alkynes, arenes, heteroarenes, carbonyl compounds, and heteroatoms, as well as radical halogenation involving saturated substrates and in situ halogenated intermediates for Appel-type reactions are presented and discussed. Remarkably, applications of trihaloisocyanuric acids in processes for the construction of heteroarene scaffolds based on electrophilic halo- and oxidative cyclization, multicomponent reactions, and telescopic reactions are also given.

: Photochemical reactions offer unparalleled opportunities to access elusive chemical pathways and develop innovative strategies for constructing complex molecules. Within organic synthesis, photochemical reactions have become indispensable tools for accessing complex molecular structures, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products. The ability of sulfur ylides to participate in these diverse processes has made them indispensable tools in the synthetic chemist's toolbox. The use of sulfur ylides in photochemical transformations has garnered significant attention in the synthetic organic chemistry community, and they serve as powerful intermediates in several chemical transformations. This review article presents a comprehensive overview of the photochemical reactions mediated by sulfur ylides. Herein, we describe the key aspects of the reactivity of sulfur ylides in the presence of light. The reactivity of these compounds can be classified into three categories: sulfur ylides as energy acceptors, as electron donors, and as trapping reagents.

:: The synthesis of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives, double functionalized in one of the phenyl rings (with a nitro group and carbon substituents), is described. 5-(4- Nitroaryl)-10,15,20-triarylporphyrinates react, in the presence of a base (t-BuOK), with carbanions containing a leaving group at the carbanionic center to give products of substitution of hydrogen at ortho-position to the nitro group via vicarious nucleophilic substitution scheme. Their alkylation with allyl bromide or 4-bromobut-1-en (t-BuOK/DMF, at 0-5°C) leads to porphyrins bearing side alkyl chain with a terminal double bond in yields of up to 82%. The double-substituted intermediates are very convenient substrates for Heck cross-coupling reactions. In this study, the synthesis of porphyrin–azulene dyads is reported. In some cases, the formation of highly conjugated systems is observed, with moderate yield. Their structures are interesting from both the porphyrin and azulene point of view.

: An alternative to finding new drugs for the treatment of various diseases is the chemical modification of the structure of compounds of natural origin. Among them, naphthoquinones are very interesting candidates, as they are antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and anticancer agents. Naphthoquinones are redox compounds that can accept one or two electrons, generating reactive oxygen species in the cell and producing cell apoptosis. Naphthoquinones are unsaturated compounds containing a dicarbonyl sequence in the para position, which is highly reactive. Several studies of the chemical modification of naphthoquinones, either of natural origin (such as lapachol or juglone) or synthetic origin, have demonstrated the great importance and versatility of this type of compound. Polyhydroxylated derivatives, amino, thioethers, and conjugated heterosystems (indole or pyrrole groups) have been synthesized. Depending on the type of derivative, their specific use against certain types of microorganisms or cancer cell lines has been demonstrated.

Polyhydroxylated derivatives, amino, thioethers, and conjugated heterosystems (indole or pyrrole groups) have been synthesized. Depending on the type of derivative, their specific use against certain types of microorganisms or cancer cell lines has been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140840113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
