Carboxylic acids, alcohols (R′OH), and alkanes (R′H) are the main products of the reduction of carboxylic esters (RCO2R′) by sodium in hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA). Alkanes are preferentially formed from the carboxylic esters of hindered alcohols. The alkane content, however, is lowered when there is less steric hindrance on the carboxylic group, and increased when tert-butanol is introduced into the reaction mixture. The reduction of esters in HMPA has been compared to the reduction in alkylamines. The alkane is produced mainly by the decomposition of a radical anion intermediate which can be solvated by HMPA. The alcohol is the result of several possible bimolecular nucleophilic reactions; however, unimolecular and bimolecular processes are involved in the production of the carboxylic acid.

Reactions of 3-(5-aryl-2-furyl)propenoic, 3-(2-benzo[b]furyl)propenoic and 3-(5-ethoxycarbonyl-4H-furo[3,2-b]-2-pyrrolyl)propenoic acids with thionyl chloride in the presence of triethylbenzylammonium chloride were investigated. The obtained 2-arylthieno[3,2-b]-furan-5-carboxylic acid chlorides Ia - Ic and 3-chlorothieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylic acid chloride afforded in substitution nucleophilic reactions the corresponding esters V and carboxylic acids VI which were decarboxylated to VII. 3-Chlorothieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylic acid chloride (Id), 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3-chlorothieno[2',3':4,5]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid chloride (IV), and ethyl 3-chlorothieno[2',3':4,5]furo[3,2-b]indole-2-carboxylate (VIII), synthesized under conditions of triethylphosphite reduction from ethyl 6-chloro-2-(2-nitrophenyl)thieno[3,2-b]furan-5-carboxylate (Va), are new heterocyclic systems.

Reaction of alkenes [cyclohexene (1), cycloheptene (2), cyclooctene (3), 1-heptene (4), 1-octene (5), styrene (6), 1,7-octadiene (7), indene (8), and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene (9)] with cerium(IV) sulfate (CS) in carboxylic acids [formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid] readily yielded the corresponding carboxylic esters. This addition reaction follows the Markovnikov rule. This reaction provides a new simple method for preparing carboxylic esters from alkenes. It was also found that this method is useful for formylation.

Aim and Objective: The reaction of cyclohexylisocyanide and 2-aminopyridine-3- carboxylic acid in the presence of benzaldehyde derivatives in ethanol led to 3-(cyclohexylamino)-2- arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acids in high yields. In a three component condensation reaction, isocyanide reacts with 2-aminopyridine-3-carboxylic acid and aromatic aldehydes without any prior activation. Material and Methods: The synthesized products have stable structures which have been characterized by IR, 1H, 13C and Mass spectroscopy as well as CHN-O analysis. Results: In continuation of our attempts to develop simple one-pot routes for the synthesis of 3- (cyclohexylamino)-2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acids, aromatic aldehydes with divers substituted show a high performance. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study introduces the art of combinatorial chemistry using a simple one-pot procedure for the synthesis of new materials which are interesting compounds in medicinal and biological sciences.

Anaerobic photolysis of dimethoxynitrobiphenyls IIIa-VIa in aqueous alkaline tert-butanol gave products of nucleophilic photosubstitution of methoxyl by hydroxide anion, while the dimethoxybiphenyls Ia and IIa were found unreactive. Regioselectivity of the reaction was examined in view of a possible “extended meta activation” by the nitro group. The most reactive substrate IIIa gives both C-3 and C-4 substitution products with an unsubstantial preference for the latter, which opposes the “extended meta selectivity” rule. All of the other compounds obey the rule, and 3,4-dimethoxy-3'-nitrobiphenyl (IVa) even displayed absolute selectivity by yielding C-3 substituted compound as the only product. 2,5-Dimethoxy substituted compounds underwent photosubstitution which much lower quantum yields than their 3,4-substituted counterparts, most probably due to some steric hindrance of conjugation. Similarly, 3-nitro-substituted biphenyls exhibited much lower overall reactivity than 4-nitro derivatives.

Propylphosphonic acid anhydride has been successfully used as a coupling agent in the synthesis of a series of indolizine-2-carboxamido derivatives from indolizine-2-carboxylic acid and its 3-acetylated analogue. The acid substrates were obtained by saponification of the corresponding methyl esters produced, in turn, selectively and efficiently, by time-controlled cyclisation of a single Morita–Baylis–Hillman adduct. Various amino and hydrazino compounds with medicinal potential have been used to prepare indolizine-2-carboxamido and hydrazido derivatives.

The synthesized compounds were screened for their microbiological and pharmacological activities

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane, in ethanol at 30.0°, of a number of substituted indole-2-carboxylic acids, indole-3-carboxylic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, coumarilic acids, and N-phenylglycines have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of adapted Hammett and Dewar–Grisdale relations. The relations give good correlations for oxygen-ring heterocyclic systems, and the relative ability of the systems to transmit π-electron effects has been determined. An anomalous perturbing effect appears to operate in the indole-carboxylic acid systems.
