Pyrazolines and their pyrazole congeners are important heterocyclic building blocks with numerous applications in the fine chemical industries. However, traditional routes towards these entities are based on multistep syntheses generating substantial amounts of chemical waste. Here we report an alternative approach using UV-light to convert tetrazoles to pyrazolines via a reagent-free photo-click strategy. This route generates nitrile imine dipoles in situ that are trapped with different dipolarophiles rendering a selection of these heterocyclic targets in high chemical yields. A continuous flow method is ultimately realized that generates multi-gram quantities of product in a safe and readily scalable manner thus demonstrating the value of this photochemical approach for future exploitations in industry.

The paper describes the efficient total syntheses of naturally occurring tripeptides Acidiphilamides A–C and epi-Acidiphilamides A-C, which were prepared from commercially available L-phenyl alanine using Hexafluorophosphate Azabenzotriazole Tetramethyl Uronium (HATU) as peptide coupling reagent. The structures of the natural Acidiphilamides A, B and C were characterized by NMR, MS & SOR data which were matching with those of natural products, whereas the structures of epi-Acidiphilamides A, B and C were confirmed by 2D NMR studies.

The development of new pharmacologically active molecules targeting tubulin polymerization has recently attracted great interest in research groups. In efforts to develop new potent anticancer compounds, imidazole-tethered/fused pharmacologically active aryl derivatives possessing different substitution patterns targeting tubulin polymerization have been rationally designed and synthesized. The target molecules (P1-5 and KG1-5) were synthesized by multistep syntheses involving the reaction of intermediate 2-aminophenyl-tethered imidazoles with appropriate reactants in the presence of p-TsOH under different conditions. The synthesized compounds displayed moderate to good cytotoxicity, comparable to that of colchicine, against four cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MD-MBA-231, A549, and HCT-116). Compounds P2 and P5, with an imidazoloquinoxaline moiety, emerged as potential leads with cytotoxicity profiles against these cell lines similar to colchicine. Compounds P2 and P5 arrested cell division at the G2/M phase and prevented cancerous cell growth through induced apoptosis. These results favored the hypothesis that the compounds might act by binding to the colchicine binding site, which was further confirmed with the help of a tubulin polymerization inhibition assay. The results encourage the further exploration of imidazoloquinoxalines as promising leads that deserve advanced clinical investigation.

The sulfoximine based tetrazoles have been synthesized via Azido-Ugi four component reactions of sulfoximines, isocyanides, aldehydes, and TMS-azide in MeOH at 70 ℃ in the presence of InCl3. Replacement of sulfoximine with sulfonimidamide (SIA) have delivered corresponding SIA based tetrazole. Interestingly, SIA is also acting as a surrogate amine to accomplish corresponding aminotetrazole as by-product.

An efficient approach for the one-pot synthesis of 4-bromotetrahydropyrans in a highly diastereoselective manner via the alkynylation followed by Prins cyclisation is described. The method employs aldehydes and allyl bromide as reactants, with a Zn/ZnBr2 catalytic system in CH2Cl2. A variety of 2,6-disubstituted 4-bromotetrahydropyran derivatives were obtained in good yields.

Construction of all-carbon quaternary centres is an important task in organic synthesis. In spite of the challenges associated with the Csp3-Csp3 bond constructions in a sterically constrained environment, significant advances have been made in this area. Among the latter, catalytic and non-catalytic [3+2] cycloaddition approach has gained wide attention recently. This short review summarizes the [3+2] cycloaddition reactions reported during the period 2016-2022 for the synthesis of molecules possessing one or more all-carbon quaternary stereocentre

The naturally abundant, enantiomerically pure cyclitol quinic acid (1) has been converted into the synthetically useful enone 2 in nearly quantitative yield using the operationally straightforward and reproducible protocols reported herein. The latter compound, which was obtained in multigram quantities, engages in a diastereoselective 1,2-addition reaction with a hydrazone-based nucleophile. Furthermore, the readily derived α-iodoenone 3 participates in both cross-coupling and α,β-annulation reactions. The results reported here emphasize that the now practically accessible cyclohexenones 2 and 3 are useful, enantiomerically pure building blocks for organic synthesis.
