Highlighted Artcile: Propylene Carbonate in Organic Synthesis: Exploring its Potential as a Green Solvent
Propylene Carbonate in Organic Synthesis: Exploring its Potential as a Green Solvent
Author(s):
Josué S. Bello Forero, July A. Hernández Muñoz, Joel Jones Junior and Flavia M. da Silva Pages 834 - 846 ( 13 )
Abstract:
Propylene carbonate (PC) is a polar aprotic substance with very similar physicochemical characteristics to the organic solvents traditionally used for organic synthesis, such as acetonitrile and acetone. Therefore, PC is beginning to be used as a “green” sustainable alternative solvent for chemical transformations. PC is a low toxicity, non-corrosive colourless liquid with a high boiling point and low vapour pressure. It is biodegradable and economical, allowing its large-scale use. PC can be prepared by a reaction between propylene epoxide and carbon dioxide with 100% atomic economy. The easy preparation of propylene epoxide and the use of an available, abundant, economical, and renewable source of carbon, such as CO2, make this process one of the best routes for the synthesis of PC. Therefore, we present in this review numerous catalytic systems that have been studied to improve the efficiency of this reaction. Certain interesting examples of reactions using PC are found in the literature, of which we discuss asymmetric hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, asymmetric aldol reactions, the asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrins, the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, such as bisindole and tetrahydroquinoline, the hydroacylation of alkynes, α-hydrazination reactions, oxidations, the Sonogashira reaction, allylic alkylation and asymmetric amination, the Heck reaction, enzymatic kinetic resolution, and isomerisation-hydroformylation reactions.

Two Neglected Multicomponent Reactions: Asinger and Groebke Reaction for Constructing Thiazolines and Imidazolines
Author(s): Zai-Qun Liu.
Abstract: The multicomponent reaction (MCR) is an important research field in the organic synthetic methodology. In 1956, Professor Friedrich Asinger reported a method for synthesizing thiazoline scaffold, in which a ketone was treated by sulfur and ammonia in one-pot operation. In 1998, Professor Katrin Groebke, Hugues Bienayme, and Christopher Blackburn reported a method for preparing imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, in which an annulation took place among α- aminopyridine, aldehyde, and isocyanide in one-pot operation, and then the reaction was entitled as Groebke reaction. Comparing with the bloom in the research of other MCRs such as Strecker (found in 1850), Hantzsch (1882), Biginelli (1891), Mannich (1912), Passerini (1921) and Ugi (1959) MCR, as newcomers in the family of MCR, Asinger and Groebke reactions are not reported as usually as other MCRs. The aim of the present review is to emphasize the importance of these two MCRs in the synthesis of thiazolines and imidazolines.

The Synthesis of Novel Oxazolinylphosphinic Esters and Amides and Application to the Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes
Author(s):
Mei LuoPages 660-672 (13)
Abstract:
A new class of modular functionalized oxazolines are synthesized using a simple, novel one-pot method under inert moisture-free conditions. Then the oxazolines can be further elaborated to phosphine-containing oxazolines. The first step is to synthesize intermediates via the reaction of 2 - hydroxybenzonitrile or 2- aminobenzonitrile with chiral amino alcohols, subsequent reactions with phosphine chlorides, providing products in moderate yields. Product structures are fully characterized by NMR, IR, MS and X-Ray analyses. These compounds are found to be highly active catalysts for the cyanosilylation of prochiral benzaldehyde (20-96% yield).
Keywords:
Functionalized oxazolines, chiral organometallic complexes, 2-hydroxybenzonitrile, 2- aminobenzonitrile, chiral amino alcohols, phosphine chlorides.

New Imidazolidineiminothione, Imidazolidin-2-one and Imidazoquinoxaline Derivatives: Synthesis and Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities
Author(s):
Yousry A. Ammar, Marwa A. M. Sh. El-Sharief, Mostafa M. Ghorab, Yehia A. Mohamed, Ahmed Ragab and Samir Y. AbbasPages 466-475 (10)
Abstract:
A series of new 5-imino-4-thioxo-2-imidazolidinone derivatives 3 with various halogenated and alkylated aromatic substituents at N1and N3 was synthesized. Imidazolidineiminothione derivatives 3 were prepared from the reaction of N-arylcyanothioformamide derivatives with aryl isocyanates. These compounds were used as key synthons for the preparation of wide variety of new substituted imidazole compounds. Imine hydrolysis of 3 with ethanolic HCl produced the corresponding 4-thioxo-2,5-imidazolidindiones 4. Condensation of 3 with benzophenonhydrazone furnished the corresponding 4-azine derivatives 5. Monohydrazono and dihydrazono derivatives 6 and 8 were obtained upon treatment of imidazolidinone derivatives 3 with hydrazine hydrate. Finally, imidazolidinones 3 were reacted with o-phenylenediamines or pyrazol- 5(4H)-ones and afforded the corresponding imidazoquinoxaline and imidazolidin-4-ylidenepyrazolone-5(4H)-one derivatives 11 and 12, respectively. Evaluation of the antibacterial and antifungal activities for the synthesized compounds was carried out to probe their activities. Most of the tested compounds showed significant activities. The best antimicrobial activity was observed for 1-(3-ethoxyphenyl)-6- methyl-1-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxalin-2(3H)-ones (11c) followed by 5-imino-3-(3-methoxy- phenyl)-1-phenyl-4- thioxoimidazolidin-2-one (3f).

The Cyanation of Prochiral Aldehydes with Chiral Copper Complexes of R-(+)/S-(-) -α -Ethylphenyl Amine in Methanol
Author(s):
Luo MeiPages 476-482 (7)
Abstract:
Interesting and unexpected results on the cyanation of prochiral aldehydes catalyzed by chiral copper complexes of R-(+)/(S)-(-) α -ethylphenyl amine (I/II) in anhydrous methanol are presented. The cyanation reaction with chiral copper complexes of R-(+)/S-(-) α -ethylphenyl amines, acetols in methanol perform to afford a series of chiral products such as amines and acetonitriles (compounds 4-6, 8, 10 and 11). The obtained products are fully characterized by NMR, IR and X-ray analysis. The proposed mechanism for the formation of a series of chiral products can be concluded that methanol firstly promotes the decomposition of the copper complexes bearing R- (+)/S-(-) α -ethylphenyl amines to the ligand R-(+)/ S-(-)- α-ethylphenyl amine, which then conjugated with the initial TMS ether of the cyanohydrin or cyanohydrin to afford the chiral compounds 4-6, 8, 10 and 11.
Keywords:
Cyanation, chiral copper complexes, R-(+)/S-(-) - α-ethylphenyl amine, methanol, acetols, cyanohydrin.
