A novel one-pot [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction of (E)-3-arylidene-1-phenyl-succinimides, cyclic 1,2-diketones (isatin, 5-chloro-isatin and acenaphtenequinone), and diverse α-aminoacids such as 2-phenylglycine or sarcosine is reported. The reaction provides succinimide-substituted dispiropyrrolidine derivatives with high regio- and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The stereochemistry of these N-heterocycles has been confirmed by four X-ray diffraction studies. Several synthetized compounds show higher inhibition on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) than butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Of the 17 synthesized compounds tested, five exhibit good AChE inhibition with IC50 of 11.42 to 22.21 µM. A molecular docking study has also been undertaken for compound 4n possessing the most potent AChE inhibitory activity, disclosing its binding to the peripheral anionic site of AChE enzymes.

Copper(II) complexes carrying pyridylmethyleneaminobenzoate or –propanoate ligands, LCuX, were prepared in one-pot reactions from pyridinecarboxaldehyde, aminobenzoic acid or β-alanine, and CuX2 (X = Cl, NO3, OAc, or OTf). All complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and formed either dimers, tetramers, or coordination polymers. Attempted preparation of the respective alkoxide complexes, LCu(OR), was unsuccessful, but use of LCuX/NaOMe mixtures in rac-lactide polymerization indicated under some conditions coordination–insertion polymerization via a copper alkoxide as the mechanism. The complexes performed poorly in rac-lactide polymerization, showing low activities (12 h to completion at 140 °C), low to moderate heterotacticity (Pr = 0.6–0.8), and poor polymer molecular weight control (intramolecular transesterification). They were competent catalysts for Chan–Evans–Lam couplings with phenylboronic acid, without any indication of side reactions such as deboration or aryl homocoupling. The complexes were active in undried methanol, without addition of base, ligand, or molecular sieves. Aniline, n-octylamine, and cyclohexylamine were coupled quantitatively under identical reaction conditions. There is only little influence of the anion on activities (less than a factor of 2) but a strong influence on induction periods. The complexes were not active in CEL coupling with alcohols, phenols, or alkylboronic acids.

A regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-10b′H-spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,1′-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline]-2′,3′-diylbis(phenylmethanone) derivatives containing four contiguous chiral stereocenters was achieved through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isoquinolinium N-ylides in a one-pot three-component reaction. The desired products were obtained in short reaction times and in moderate to high yields (up to 92%) under relatively mild reaction conditions. The structure and relative stereochemistry of the desired product was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

A simple, one-pot process for the construction of substituted spiro[5,5]undecane-1,5,9-triones using aromatic aldehydes and Meldrum’s acid, and aniline as a catalyst, is reported. Fifteen compounds were synthesized, and the trans/cis ratios were calculated based on 1H NMR analyses of the unpurified products. Quantum mechanical calculations and X-ray diffraction were undertaken to identify the configuration of compound 2a. The proposed mechanisms for these reactions are presented in this paper. In contrast to previous literature, this method endows excellent diastereoselectivity to a series of trans-substituted derivatives. The method is characterized by its simple operation, commercial availability of all materials, mild reaction conditions and moderate-to-good chemical yields.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction is one of the most rapid, and efficient protocols to access, and construct highly divergent heterocycle chiral auxiliaries. Free catalyst synthesis of spirooxindole scaffold incorporating sulphone moiety via one pot–three component reaction of 6-chloro-isatin, L-proline, and the phenylvinylsulphone as dienophile is presented. The new regioisomer and diastereomer was isolated by precipitation without the tedious purification step, and then characterized via NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Using Hirshfeld analysis, the analysis of molecular packing was performed. It depended mainly on strong O…H and N…H interactions, and weak H…H, C…H, and Cl…H interactions as well. DFT calculations were used to optimize the experimental X-ray structure, which was found well matched with the calculated one. Reactivity descriptors based on the energies of the highest occupied (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied (LUMO) molecular orbitals were calculated. Additionally, the donor–acceptor interactions which stabilized the system via σ–σ*, π→π*, n→σ* and n→π* electron delocalization processes were also computed using NBO calculations. The net interaction energies are 49.96, 235.38, 179.66 and 107.06 kJ/mol, respectively. Additionally, the calculated NMR chemical shifts correlated well with the experimental data (R2=0.99).

The study was conducted to explore the anticholinesterase inhibition property of eugenol derived molecules. Ten eugenol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for the inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) by Ellman’s method. Most of the tested derivatives showed higher inhibition on BChE than AChE, however, their overall inhibitory activity was weak. In contrast, three derivatives (compounds 3,6,9) showed higher and good AChE inhibitory activity of more than 50% inhibition at 10 μg/mL. Among them, compound 9bearing a ethyl substituent at para position of the benzoyl ring showed the most potent AChE inhibition, with IC50 of 5.64 μg/mL. Ligand-protein docking simulation was also performed for the most active derived molecules (compounds 3,6,9).

A green and efficient regioselective protocol was developed for the preparation of novel isoxazolines and isoxazoles of N-saccharin derivatives via the water-promoted cycloaddition reaction of nitrile oxides with alkenes and alkynes. It is noteworthy that KI/Oxone/water-promoted one-pot three-component reactions of aldehyde, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and alkene or alkyne were observed to be very satisfactory. The synthesis of all adducts (4a-j/5a-j) has been carried out by this method with high to excellent yields (70-95%) at 25°C within 30 min, using ultrasonic probe. All the new compounds were thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic techniques and also 5b, 5c and 5f were structurally identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. X-ray crystallography structure analysis clearly supported the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction.

Described herein is a one-pot protocol for the synthesis of a substituted spiropyrrolidine scaffold tethered benzo[b]thiophene analogue from (E)-3-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-1-(4-fluoro- phenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one. The described protocol has the advantage of the high purity of the cyclized adduct and high chemical yield. To assign the chemical structure, different spectrophotometric tools have been applied, including 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, and the X-ray single crystal technique. The X-ray structure showed that the studied compound exist in two disordered parts with equal partial occupancies. The energies of the two conformers were found to be very similar and not exceed 1 kcal/mol, which justifies their coexistence in the crystal with equal percentage. The molecular packing in the crystal was analyzed using Hirshfeld topology analysis. The packing described as two dimensional hydrogen bond network extended along the ac-plane in both conformers but the intermolecular interactions included in each conformer are not similar. The synthesized spiropyrrolidine scaffold tethered benzo[b]thiophene analogue was examined against cholinesterase inhibitory activity and show moderate activity compared to standard drug galantamine.
