In this research work, Fe3O4@DABA-PA-CuBr2 nanocomposite was fabricated by a simple and inexpensive method by immobilizing copper(II) bromide on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles modified with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid and picolinic acid. Deep eutectic solvents or DESs are green and environmentally friendly solvents that are used as catalyst or solvent in many reactions. The utilization of Fe3O4@DABA-PA-CuBr2 nanocatalyst in ChCl–Urea at 100 °C presented an attractive, environmentally benign and highly efficient catalytic system for the preparation of a broad range of diaryl sulfones through one-pot three-component coupling of aryl iodides, aryl boronic acids, and DABSO (as SO2 source). It should be noted that the Fe3O4@DABA-PA-CuBr2 catalyst was used several times without significant reduction of the catalytic activity. VSM, TEM, and ICP-OES analysis of the reused Fe3O4@DABA-PA-CuBr2 catalyst after eight cycles revealed that that the structure, magnetic property, shape, and size of the particles did not change significantly.

The benzimidazolium salts 2a-d were synthesized by quaternization of 1-(4-tet-buthylbenzyl) benzimidazole, with the corresponding benzysl bromide. The reactions were carried out in dimethylformamide at 70 °C for 48 h. Therefore, Ag2O and benzimidazolium salts 2a-d were reacted in dichloromethane at room temperature under dark and Ag(I)-NHC complex 3 was obtained in very good yields. The Ru(II)-NHC complexes (4a-d) were synthesized via transmetalation reaction from 3a-d. The structures of the obtained compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques such as 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analysis, and melting point detection. The lowest MICs values were obtained with the two complexes 4b and 4d. Enzymatic inhibitory investigation against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and tyrosinase (TyrE), showed that the two complexes 4b and 4d are the most potent inhibitors against (AchE) with an IC50 of 2.52 and 5.06 µg mL–1 respectively, and against (TyrE) with an IC50 of 19.88 and 24.95 µg mL–1 respectively. Screening of the selected N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands (2a-2d) and their respective ruthenium (II) complexes (4a-4d) against colon carcinoma cells lines (HCT-116) and hepatocellular carcinoma cells lines (HepG-2). Furthermore, compounds 2c, 2d, 4b were showed weak cytotoxic action with IC50 ranging from 13.38 to 18.33 µg in human colon carcinoma cancer cell lines and from 14.36 to 18.45 µg in hepatocellular carcinoma cells lines.

A rapid and efficient S-(+) camphor sulfonic acid Glycine (CSAG), catalyzed, one-pot three-component Mannich reaction has been performed to synthesize ß-amino carbonyl compound at room temperature. The reaction gave desired products in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. Products in the presence of CSAG (15 mol%) with yields of 52–89% were obtained. This method offers a new modification and easy working process in mild reaction conditions with a low amount and catalyst recyclability up to at least three periods without significant reduction in performance (efficiency 88–77%). This report describes for the first time the preparation of CSAG catalysts for the synthesis of Mannich products.

Diaryl sulfides and selenides are ubiquitous chemical structures found in natural products, synthetic organic semiconductors, agricultural, and various biologically active molecules. Therefore, the development of novel and efficient catalytic systems for the preparation of diaryl sulfides and selenides is an important challenge in organic synthesis. In this paper, we wish to report the construction of a novel and efficient nanomagnetic copper nanocatalyst through the immobilization of Cu(OAc)2 on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles modified with Imine-Thiazole as ligand. The as-fabricated Fe3O4@SiO2-(Imine-Thiazole)-Cu(OAc)2 nanocomposite shown high catalytic activity in the C-Se (83%-98%) and C-S bond formation at 100 °C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of magnetically reusable copper nanocatalyst for the synthesis of diaryl selenides and sulfides via the reaction of triarylbismuthanes with elemental Se or S powder under aerobic conditions. Recycling experiments revealed that the copper nanocatalyst could be easily recovered by a simple magnetic separation and recycled at least eight times without deterioration in catalytic activity.

The interaction of N,N-disubstituted benzimidazolium salts 2a–e with Ag2O formed new silver-(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes 3a–e. Structural characterization of silver-(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes was conducted by using NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis. Preliminary catalytic studies using all the silver complexes 3a–e were performed on three-component coupling reaction of a series of aldehydes with alkynes and amines was demonstrated. Most of these reactions led to formation of the expected propargylamines in good conversions using low amounts catalyst and obviating both the use of purified reagents as employ of a glovebox. Complexes 3a and 3c exhibited good catalytic activities under neat conditions. The silver complexes 3a–e showed luminescence properties in CH3CN at room temperature.

Due to their magnetic separation and recycling characteristics, magnetic nanocatalysts are widely used in a wide variety of organic reactions. 1,2,3-Triazoles are heterocyclic compounds with broad applications in organic chemistry, including medicine, materials, and synthetic chemistry; a wide range of 1,2,3-triazoles exhibits many biological activities, including activity against fungal, viral, allergic, and microbial infections has been also reported in the literature. In this work, a magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocatalyst modified with pyridine-tetrazole ligand supported copper (II) acetate [MNPs-Py/Tet-Cu(OAc)2] was constructed and used to catalyze this one-pot three-component reaction of NH-1,2,3-triazoles. This nanocatalyst can act as an excellent catalyst for these three-component reactions. The [MNPs-Py/Tet-Cu(OAc)2] nanocatalyst, which demonstrated effective magnetization as 43 emu/g, can be easily separate from the reaction mixture and reused for 7 times while preserving their catalytic activity. Also the diameter of the nanoparticles is about 70–97 nm with spherical morphology.

(2E)-2-(3-(benzyloxy)-4-methoxybenzylidene)-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one [BMBD] was synthesized to obtain a single crystal. Single crystal X-ray Diffraction (SXRD) studies revealed the 3 D structure and the crystallographic information. Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the B3LYP level with 6-311++(d,p) basis set has been used for theoretical computation on the chemical reactivity of the materials. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was done to study the non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bonds, short contacts, C–H…π and π…π stacking interactions. Synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral techniques to classify proton and carbon environments and stretching/bending vibrational frequency assignments. MTT assay was performed on the material to measure the toxicity and anticancer activity against normal Vero and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Molecular docking involving the title compound and protein target (PDB ID: 1M17) was also carried out to study the anti-breast cancer activity, which for the compound is outstanding.

Synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, <sup>1</sup>H-NMR and <sup>13</sup>C-NMR spectral techniques to classify proton and carbon environments and stretching/bending vibrational frequency assignments. MTT assay was performed on the material to measure the toxicity and anticancer activity against normal Vero and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Molecular docking involving the title compound and protein target (PDB ID: 1M17) was also carried out to study the anti-breast cancer activity, which for the compound is outstanding.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20303,"journal":{"name":"Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds","volume":"46 1","pages":"Pages 53-71"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75878863","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}
In this research, the preparation of new (methylsulfonyl)pyrano[3,2-c]quinolone, and pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives using starting materials including 1-methylquinoline-2,4-dione, methylsulfonylacetonitrile or malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of [Triazolamine][Acetate] as ionic liquid catalyst were described. A simple and green method for the synthesis of novel organic compounds in H2O as solvent under reflux temperature conditions using a green and recyclable ionic liquid as catalyst is reported. The synthesis of diverse and new pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives, easy work-up procedure, high yields of products, short reaction times, use of green solvent, easy recovery and separation of the catalyst are the advantages of this protocol.
