Amides are undeniably some of the most important compounds in Nature and the chemical industry, being present in biomolecules, materials, pharmaceuticals and many other substances. Unfortunately, the traditional synthesis of amides suffers from some important drawbacks, principally the use of stoichiometric activators or the need to use highly reactive carboxylic acid derivatives. In recent years, the transamidation reaction has emerged as a valuable alternative to prepare amides. The reactivity of amides makes their direct reaction with nitrogen nucleophiles difficult; thus, the direct transamidation reaction needs a catalyst in order to activate the amide moiety and to promote the completion of the reaction because equilibrium is established. In this review, we present research on direct transamidation reactions ranging from studies of the mechanism to the recent developments of more applicable and versatile methodologies, emphasizing those reactions involving activation with metal catalysts.

Chalcones are useful intermediates in the synthesis of heterocyclic compound and the unique reagents in organic synthesis. The usual approach to obtain chalcones is through Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Several novel heterocyclic chalcone analogs have emerged. Chalcones are multifunctional molecules that possess promising pharmacological activities. Chalcones are known for anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-tubercular, antileishmanial, antimalarial, anthelmintic, osteogenic activities. This review article focuses on recent applications of Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction employed in the synthesis of chalcone, its transformation to heterocyclic compounds and pharmacological activities.

Except for honey as food, and silk for clothing and pollination of plants, people give little thought to the benefits of insects in their lives. This overview briefly describes significant recent advances in developing insect natural products as potential new medicinal drugs. This is an exciting and rapidly expanding new field since insects are hugely variable and have utilised an enormous range of natural products to survive environmental perturbations for 100s of millions of years. There is thus a treasure chest of untapped resources waiting to be discovered. Insects products, such as silk and honey, have already been utilised for thousands of years, and extracts of insects have been produced for use in Folk Medicine around the world, but only with the development of modern molecular and biochemical techniques has it become feasible to manipulate and bioengineer insect natural products into modern medicines. Utilising knowledge gleaned from Insect Folk Medicines, this review describes modern research into bioengineering honey and venom from bees, silk, cantharidin, antimicrobial peptides, and maggot secretions and anticoagulants from blood-sucking insects into medicines. Problems and solutions encountered in these endeavours are described and indicate that the future is bright for new insect derived pharmaceuticals treatments and medicines.

Abstract:: Formic acid (HCOOH) as an inexpensive and versatile reagent has attracted broad attention in the field of green synthesis and chemical industry. Formic acid acts not only as a convenient and less toxic CO surrogate, but also as an excel-lent formylative reagent, C1 source and hydrogen donor in organic reactions. Over the past decades, many exciting contribu-tions have been made which have helped chemists to understand the mechanisms of these reactions. The review will exam-ine recent advances in the utilization of formic acid as economical, practical and multipurpose reactant in synthetic trans-formations.

Pyrazole represents a versatile class among heterocyclic compounds due to its impact in biological and pharmacological field irrespective of its scarcity in nature. From the structural point of view, pyrazoles are rather interesting and chemically it is known as 1,2-Diazoles.Also, it is a five membered heterocyclic compound containing 2 Nitrogen atoms. As per different studies, Pyrazoles and its derivatives own a wide range of biological activities like Antibacterial, Analgesic, Antioxidant etc. The main intention of this review is to run an overview of diverse pharmacological activities of pyrazole moiety especially antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, Hypoglycemic, anticancer and enzyme inhibitory effects.

At room temperature 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium rapidly undergoes fragmentation to nitrogen and lithium (N-phenyl)phenylketenimine anion 8c, [Formula: see text]. Some of the reactions of this ambident anion have been studied. Reaction of 8c with methyl iodide results in C-methylation to a mixture of (N-phenyl)methylphenylketenimine and 3-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-4-(2′-phenylethylene)-2-phenyliminoazetidine. A six-membered heterocyclic compound, 6-anilino-1,3,5-triphenyluracil, results from the reaction between 8c and phenyl isocyanate. With dimethyl sulfate and methyl chloroformate N-alkylation and N-acylation takes place predominantly, forming N-methyl-N-phenyl-2-phenylethynylamine and N-carbomethoxy-N-phenyl-2-phenylethynylamine respectively. Reaction of 8c with methanol and ethanethiol gives an iminoester and an iminothioester respectively.1-Phenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium and 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium undergo fragmentation at somewhat higher temperatures.
