The important intermediate 2-acetyl-5,8-dimethoxytetralin (8) in the syntheses of anthracycline antitumor drugs is easily prepared in high yield on a large scale. Conversion of 2,4-pentanedione to 3-(2,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-hex-5-en-2-one (9) was carried out in a three-step, one-pot process by C-alkylating it with 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl bromide, then allyl bromide followed by a retro-Claisen condensation. Conversion of 9 to the tetralin (8) was done first by ozonolysis to the aldehyde (10) followed by cyclization and reduction of the latter by trimethylsilane in trifluoracetic acid – acetone.

A general, facile synthesis of 2'-5'-linked oligonucleotides (2-5A oligomers ) has been achieved based on the second-order regioselective protection of adenosine, one-pot formation of the 2'5' internucleotide linkage, and O-selective phosphorylation of N-unblocked nucleosides. Standard t- butyldimethylsilylation of 5'-O-p-methoxytrityladenosine followed by careful recrystallization from a mixture of triethylamine , methanol, ethyl acetate and ether (4 : 4 : 5 : 100 v/v) gives the 3',5'-di-O-protected adenosine in high yield. Magnesium alkoxide -mediated condensation of the 2'-O-free adenosine with o-chlorophenyl p-nitrophenyl phosphorochloridate followed by 2',3'-di-O-t-butyldimethylsilyladenosine produces the N-free and fully O-protected adenylyl (2'-5')adenosine. The resulting adenylyl dimer, after removal of the 5'-O-trityl protector, is elongated to the protected trimeric compound through a similar reaction sequence. Deprotection of the product furnishes the 2-5A core. Condensation of the 5?-0-detritylated core and bis (2,2,2-trichloroethyl) phosphorochloridite assisted by 2,6-lutidine and subsequent oxidation with aqueous iodine produces, after deblocking, 2-5A 5'-monophosphate (p5'A2'p5'pA2'p5'A). The 2-5A 5'-monophosphate is converted into 2-5A 5'-triphosphate (ppp5'A2'p5'A2'p5'A) by reaction with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole in the presence of triethylamine followed by tributylammonium diphosphate. This procedure allows ready synthesis of 2-5A oligomers and related compounds on a multigram scale.

A simple and efficient method for α-brominating lactones that affords α-bromolactones under mild conditions using tetraalkylammonium hydroxide (R4N+OH−) as a base was developed. Lactones are ring-opened with Br2 and a substoichiometric amount of PBr3, leading to good yields of the corresponding α-bromocarboxylic acids. Subsequent intramolecular cyclization over 1 h using a two-phase system (H2O/CHCl3) containing R4N+OH− afforded α-bromo lactones in good yields. This method can be applied at the 10 mmol scale using simple operations. α-Bromo-δ-valerolactone, which is extremely reactive and difficult to isolate, could be isolated and stored in a freezer for about one week using the developed method. Optimizing the solvent for environmentally friendly large-scale syntheses revealed that methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was as effective. In addition, in situ-generated α-bromo-δ-valerolactone was directly converted into a sulfur-substituted functional lactone without difficulty by reacting it with a sulfur nucleophile in one pot without isolation. This new bromination system is expected to facilitate the industrial use of α-bromolactones as important intermediates.

Abstract We report a rapid and efficient synthesis protocol for mesalamine via a green approach with 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid as the starting material, for its large-scale production. This one-pot method involves the conversion of a chloro group into a hydroxyl group using aqueous KOH solution, followed by the reduction of a nitro group to amine using Pd/C. The product was characterised and confirmed by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, IR and mass spectrometry techniques. The salient features of the method include excellent conversion (99.3%), high yield (93%), cost effectiveness and validated results for benign, large-scale production.

An efficient and practical protocol for the preparation of 1,3-diallyloxy-2-propanol has been developed by one-pot reaction between epichlorohydrin and allyl alcohol in the presence of KOH without solvent at room temperature. This preliminary approach provides an environmentally-friendly synthetic route to 1,3-diallyloxy-2-propanol with many advantages, i. e., low cost, high yield, easy purification, mild reaction conditions, and large scale production.

Self-assembled DNA nanostructures hold great promise as nanoscale templates for organizing nanoparticles (NPs) with near-atomistic resolution. However, large-scale organization of NPs with high yield is highly desirable for nanoelectronics and nanophotonic applications. Here, we design five-strand DNA tiles that can readily self-assemble into well-organized micrometer-scale DNA nanostructures. By organizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on these self-assembled DNA nanostructures, we realize the fabrication of one- and two-dimensional Au nanostructures in single steps. We further demonstrate the one-pot synthesis of Au metamaterials for highly amplified surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). This single-step and high-yield strategy thus holds great potential for fabricating plasmonic metamaterials.

A simple and appropriate procedure for the synthesis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivatives from isocyanides, aniline and isocyanate via the Cu-catalyzed intramolecular C-H activation reaction is reported. The advantages of this method are one-pot conditions, accessible starting materials- catalyst, high yield of products, and short reaction times. The structures are confirmed spectroscopically (1H- and 13C-NMR, IR and EI-MS) and by elemental analyses.

Aim and Objective: Itopride is a prokinetic agent used for treating conditions like non-ulcer dyspepsia. Itopride is administered as its hydrochloride salt. Trimethobenzamide is used for treating nausea and vomiting and administered as its hydrochloride salt. The aim is to develop a novel and environmental friendly method for large-scale production of itopride and trimethobenzamide. Materials and Methods: Itopride and trimethobenzamide can be prepared from a common intermediate 4- (dimethylaminoethoxy) benzyl amine. The intermediate is prepared from one pot synthesis using Phyrdroxybenzaldehye and zinc dust and further reaction of the intermediate with substituted methoxy benzoic acid along with boric acid and PEG gives itopride and trimethobenzamide. Results: The intermediate 4-(dimethylaminoethoxy) benzylamine is prepared by treating p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride. The aldehyde formed is treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The intermediate is confirmed by NMR and the purity is analysed by HPLC. Conclusion: Both itopride and trimethobenzamide were successfully synthesized by this method. The developed method is environmental friendly, economical for large-scale production with good yield and purity.

Background: This paper reports synthesis, cytotoxic activity, and apoptosis inducing effect of a novel series of styrylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives. Objective: In this study, anti-cancer activity of novel styrylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was evaluated. Methods: Styrylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives 4a-o were synthesized through a one-pot three-component reaction of 2-aminopyridines, cinnamaldehydes, and isocyanides in high yield. All synthesized compounds 4a-o were evaluated against breast cancer cell lines including MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and T-47D using MTT assay. Apoptosis was evaluated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, cell cycle analysis, and TUNEL assay as the mechanism of cell death. Results: Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited more potent cytotoxicity than standard drug, etoposide. Induction of apoptosis by the most cytotoxic compounds 4f, 4g, 4j, 4n, and 4m was confirmed through mentioned methods. Conclusion: In conclusion, these results confirmed the potency of styrylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines for further drug discovery developments in the field of anti-cancer agents.
