A series of spirocyclic pyrrolidine derivatives with quaternary stereocenters was constructed via asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between imino esters and 2-oxindole. By ingenious use of ligands on the silver catalyst allows stereoselectivity to either endo-isomers (ee up to 98 %, yields up to 96 %) with (R, Rp)-Ph-Phosferrox or exo-isomers (ee up to 99 %, yields up to 87 %) with (R)-BINAP. This work is notable for its high yields, broad substrate adaptability and excellent enantioselectivity.

Herein, a novel approach of bimetallic Pd(OAc)2/CuI-catalyzed alkynylation of 3-chloroazetidin-2-one (β-lactam derivative) with terminal alkyne via tandem C–C bond activation/Sonogashira-type cross-coupling reaction is developed. This synthesis encompasses a sequence of inert Csp3–X/Csp–H functionalization processes involving the coupling of the C(sp3) adjacent to the 3-chloroazetidin-2-one with the C(sp) of a terminal alkyne. The final analogs are synthesized by means of the indole-benzothiazole Schiff base formation, cyclization of the Schiff base to generate the β-lactam derivative, and Sonogashira coupling to afford a C(sp3)–C(sp) bond. In addition, indole, benzothiazole, and azetidine-2-one have been identified to be highly efficient heterocyclic scaffolds with a range of pharmacological benefits. It encouraged us to discover a hybrid compound that had each of these moieties. Cooperation between two different metals is essential for the successful implementation of this approach. Specifically, the interaction between the Pd and Cu centers in the transmetallation step is depicted through a plausible mechanistic route. The reaction conditions have been optimized by varying catalyst and ligand loadings, bases, temperatures, and solvents. The reaction is highly efficient, yielding alkynylated products in up to 84 % yield with a wide range of substrates and functional group tolerance, thereby serving as a functional model for the Sonogashira coupling reaction.

A racemic salicylaldehyde Schiff base (L) containing a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide scaffold was successfully synthesized and characterized. L exhibited a typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic in the mixed solvent of THF/H2O. The UV–Vis absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra showed a high selectivity and sensitivity of L for the recognition of Cu2+ over other ions in the solution of THF/H2O (2:3), and indicated L can be used as a turn-off fluorescent probe for Cu2+. The stoichiometric ratio, association constant, and the detection limit of probe L toward Cu2+ were estimated using Job's plot method, UV–Vis spectra titration, and fluorescence spectra titration. More importantly, a Cu(II) complex was synthesized from the coordination interaction of probe L with Cu2+ and characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction technique. The crystal structure well illustrated the binding mode of L with Cu2+, contributing to the further understanding of the coordination mechanism.

An I2-promoted C–H arylselenylation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines with diaryl diselenides is developed, providing an efficient route to a series of 1 (or 3)-arylselenylated and/or 1,3-diaryl diselenylated pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines. The methodology is characterised by a wide range of substrates, good functional group tolerance and gram-level synthesis. Further transformations of the products to form structurally diverse pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines were successfully achieved. Similarly, I2-promoted C–H sulfenylation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline with 1,2-diphenyldisulfane were investigated. We believe that these novel pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline compounds will have promising applications in pharmaceutical synthesis.

We present an efficient, acid-mediated cascade strategy for the construction of 1,3- and 1,2,3-substituted naphthalenes from readily accessible starting materials. This method employs ortho-alkynyl or arynyl tertiary benzylic alcohols as the substrates, which undergo a Lewis acid-triggered dehydration to form ortho-(alkynyl)-styrene intermediates. These intermediates subsequently undergo intramolecular cycloaromatization, resulting in the formation of substituted naphthalenes in a one-pot reaction. A significant advantage of this approach is its ability to proceed under sustainable and neat reaction conditions using ZnCl₂ as the sole Lewis acid, highlighting the simplicity and practicality of the process. Additionally, the strategy exhibits a broad substrate scope, efficiently yielding the desired naphthalene derivatives with practical and consistent yields. This method not only simplifies the synthetic pathway but also aligns with green chemistry principles by minimizing the use of solvents and reagents.

A highly efficient and stereoselective synthesis of (E)-5-(dimethylamino)methylene thiohydantoins is herein reported. It was carried out through a one-pot, two-step reaction between methyl N-arylglycinates, isothiocyanates, and DMFDMA under microwave irradiation. The thermal and catalyst-free reaction of the (dimethylamino)methylene thiohydantoins with anilines led to the stereoselective formation of (E)-(anilinomethylene) thiohydantoins. The antifungal activity of the products was evaluated with a series of five Candida spp., finding a potent effect, even against a fluconazole-resistant C. glabrata strain. The docking studies suggest that this inhibitory effect is due to the binding of the compounds to the active site of fungal HMGR.

Using the CuAAC reaction as a key step, a novel series of Nilotinib analogues was prepared by replacing the imidazole ring in the Nilotinib molecule with 1,2,3-triazole moiety via a divergent synthetic approach. The synthesized compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity against a series of tumor cell lines which included U251, PC-3, K562, HCT-15, MCF-7 and SKLU. Inhibition growth up to 85.6 % was observed for some compounds.

Among the various copper-catalyzed coupling reactions, C–S and C–N bond-forming reactions have carried off plentiful recognition due to their demand in the synthesis of molecules having biological and pharmaceutical impact. Organo-copper complex has an incontestable supremacy over the other catalytic complex due to its low cost and the use of readily accessible and stable ligands. As a consequence and in continuation of our explorative studies in this direction, an efficient and novel organo-copper complex has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (NMR, FT-IR) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The synthesized stable metal complex has fascinating physical, chemical, biological and catalytic properties. In the chemical exploration refer to protein-metal interactions; we have often used Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein. The synthesized copper complex has the potential to form coordinate bonds with functional groups present in BSA, together with amino acid residues and the protein backbone. The binding of metal complexes to BSA has outstanding imputation in medicinal chemistry. For enhancement of the catalytic activity of the organo-copper complex, we have evaluated it in carbon-hetero bond formation reactions where it proffered an influential tool for the establishment of C–S and C–N bonds.
