New hybrid compounds, including imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl(3-(substituted)quinoxalin-2-yl)methanone and its imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine analogs, have been successfully prepared via palladium-catalyzed reactions. The synthesis involved the reaction of 3-substituted-2-chloroquinoxalines with 2-amino-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyrimidinium/pyridinium bromide under optimized reaction conditions. These conditions included Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (5 mol %), CuI (10 mol%) in the presence of Et3N in DMF at 70 °C, resulting in the formation of the desired hybrid compounds. Furthermore, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine hybrid compounds were synthesized through one-pot multicomponent reactions of 2,3-dicholoroquinoxaline, 2-amino-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyridinium bromide, primary and secondary amines, under optimized conditions. These processes provided efficient protocols to synthesize novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine/pyridine based on quinoxaline through palladium-catalyzed reaction with high yields. A one-pot reaction, high reaction yields, energy efficiency, and a straightforward reaction process are significant advantages of this protocol.

In a recent study, we synthesized novel, color-pure blue emitters, based on a simple ‘pencil and paper’ concept, termed DOBFT and DOBFIT, inspired by our ‘Poly-Heteroaromatic Omni-Delocalization’ (PHOD) concept. The molecules' asymmetric structure, distinct from the DABNA framework, posed significant synthetic challenges, necessitating careful modification of existing strategies and considerable trial and error. While previous publications have primarily focused on the PHOD concept and the properties of DOBFT and DOBFIT, they often overlooked the complexities of their synthesis. In this paper, we provide a detailed account of the synthesis processes and challenges, offering valuable insights for researchers pursuing similar efforts. Additionally, we introduce a new molecule, DOBFITX, with its synthesis meticulously documented, along with a comprehensive, combined spectroscopic and computational analysis of the photophysical properties of these molecules.

Three zinc porphyrin dendrimer analogs with rigid conjugated backbones were synthesized and connected via a copper-catalyzed Hüisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to form a trimer with two flexible linkages. Comparison of the 1H NMR and UV–vis absorption spectra of the trimer with those of the corresponding monomers indicated that the trimer adopted an extended conformation in chloroform. The addition of a Y-shaped ligand with three pyridyl terminals to a chloroform solution of the trimer resulted in the formation of a 1:1 complex between the trimer and ligand. A binding constant of K = 2.7 × 106 M−1 was estimated by UV–vis titration. The characteristic up-field shift of the signals for pyridine protons was observed in the 1H NMR spectrum of the 1:1 mixture of the trimer and ligand. Theoretical calculations suggested that coordination of pyridyl terminals to three zinc porphyrin cores led to the trimer adopting a cyclic conformation.

In this study, a highly fluorescent fluorescein-based derivative (2FLC) was synthesized using a one-pot synthesis method. The structure of the molecule was confirmed through physicochemical analysis, including 1H NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectroscopy. The chemosensor property of 2FLC with different metal ions (Cu 2+, Al3+, Ag +, Hg2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Co2+, K+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cd2+ and Mn2+) is investigated through absorption and fluorescence studies in a water medium. Interestingly, it is observed that the 2FLC exhibited a remarkable turn-off fluorescence response upon adding Hg2+ ion as compared to different metal ions. Further, competitive metal ion studies indicate that the receptor 2FLC exhibits exceptional selectivity in detecting Hg2+ ion without being affected by other metal ions. The detection limit of 2FLC for targeted Hg2+ ion was 8.87 μM. The binding stoichiometry between the receptor 2FLC and the Hg2+ metal ion was verified using both Job's plot and the Benasi-Hildbrand methods and found to be 1:1. Theoretical studies and FT-IR spectra confirmed the strong binding and formation of 2FLC-Hg2+ complex. Overall, the results suggest that the newly synthesized water-soluble 2FLC molecule may be used as a chemosensor to detect Hg2+ ion.

Click chemistry, celebrated for its efficiency and selectivity, has emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid synthesis of tetrazines. This study introduces a novel approach to accessing tetrazines from symmetrical azines and sodium azide, facilitating the streamlined construction of these versatile compounds. Renowned for their exceptional stability and reactivity, tetrazines are highly coveted in diverse fields including materials science, medicinal chemistry, and imaging. The newly synthesized tetrazine derivatives were rigorously characterized using a suite of spectroscopic techniques, including IR, 1H and 13C NMR, 2D NMR, and mass spectrometry. To assess their reactivity and stability, the energy gap (ΔE) was computed using density functional theory. Furthermore, in silico molecular docking studies were performed against the muscular dystrophy protein 2VD5 to explore its potential biological activity. This innovative synthetic strategy provides a robust platform for the expeditious development of a diverse array of tetrazine-based compounds with promising applications across various scientific domains.

A practical synthesis of indolizine-3-carboxylates has been developed via copper-promoted reaction of alkenoic acids with bromoesters and pyridines using air as the terminal oxidant. In this reaction, carboxyl group acts as a traceless substituent to activate carbon-carbon double bond. By this protocol, we have successfully obtained indolizine-3-carboxylates with aryl or alkyl group at 1-position or 2-position of indolizine motif. This protocol features advantages of simple reaction conditions as well as broad substituents kinds.

Phosphetane derivatives are a class of four-membered saturated phosphorus-containing heterocycles and have been widely applied as phosphorus-containing chiral ligands in asymmetric catalytic organic reactions. Synthetic methods for phosphetane derivatives are divided mainly into double nucleophilic substitutions, electrophilic addition of phospheniums to olefins and subsequent cyclization, electrophilic ring expansions of cyclopropanes and phosphiranes, cycloaddition and electrocyclic reaction, etc. The scope, limitation, regio- and stereoselectivities, and proposed reaction mechanisms are also discussed for some methods. Further development for preparation of phosphetane derivatives and their application are also prospected.

Chemical investigation of the mangrove-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. DVXT-221 led to isolation of three undescribed ergot alkaloids, fumigaclavines K−M (1, 2, and 4), and seven known compounds, fumigaclavines I (3), C (5), and E (6), monomethylsulochrin (7), 8′-O-methylasterric acid (8), 2,3′-dimethylosoate (9), and chaetominine (10). Their structures were identified by comprehensive analyses of the spectroscopic methods, including NMR and HRESI mass spectra. The absolute configurations of 1, 2, and 4 were clarified by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopic analyses. Compound 2 contained the first example of N-methyl oxide among the previously reported ergot alkaloids. Compounds 1 and 3 showed weak cytotoxicity on both HepG2 and MCF7 cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 61.1 ± 3.1 to 77.2 ± 1.5 μM. Compounds 1 and 9 exhibited stronger inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, with IC50 values of 5.3 ± 0.2 and 8.7 ± 0.4 μM, respectively, whereas weaker NO inhibitory effects were observed for 2–4, 8, and 10, with IC50 values ranging from 20.5 ± 0.8 to 36.1 ± 2.3 μM. Both 1 and 9 were suggested to inhibit NO overproduction via down-regulating the action of iNOS protein by molecular docking simulations.

A mild and convenient method for synthesizing thioesters has been developed, from sulfenylchlorides and carboxylic acids via a phosphine mediated umpolung process. This approach efficiently produces a broad spectrum of thioesters from readily available carboxylic acids, including primary, secondary, and tertiary types, as well as bioactive molecules. The successful gram-scale reactions also validate its scalability and practical application.
