RESUMO
The synthesis of novel, highly functionalized 5-hydroxy 3-pyrrolin-2-ones via a two-step procedure involving an addition reaction between KCN and corresponding chalcones, followed by ring condensation of the obtained ß-cyano ketones with het(aryl)aldehydes under basic conditions is described. This protocol enables the preparation of various 3,5-di-aryl/heteroaryl-4-benzyl substituted α,ß-unsaturated γ-hydroxy butyrolactams, which are subjects of significant interest to synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry.

A novel, low-cost method for the preparation of not easily accessible free 3-aminoindoles has been developed. This approach is based on a well-established reaction between indoles and nitrostyrene in the presence of phosphorous acid, which results in the formation of 4'-phenyl-4'H-spiro[indole-3,5'-isoxazoles]. The latter could be transformed to corresponding aminated indoles by reaction with hydrazine hydrate in good or excellent yields upon microwave-assisted heating.
RESUMO
The Friedel-Crafts reaction of novel 3,5-diarylsubstituted 5-hydroxy-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones was used for low cost, one-pot preparation of polycyclic indole derivatives structurally similar to Ergot alkaloids.
RESUMO
A highly diastereoselective tandem reaction of 2'-nitrochalcones is reported, involving Michael addition and a subsequent ipso-substitution of the nitro group to produce 1-tetralones with two contiguous chiral centers. A related annulation reaction of 2'-nitrochalcones with potassium cyanide affording 1-indanones with a C3-quaternary chiral center is also demonstrated.
RESUMO
A practical, one-pot approach to 3-anilino-4-(het)arylmaleimides by simple heating of aqueous DMSO solution of 2'-nitrochalcones with potassium cyanide in the presence of formic acid has been developed. This new reaction provides effective access to a variety of ß-substituted α-aminomaleimides which have recently become a subject of growing interest as small, easily modified and environmentally responsive fluorescent probes.
RESUMO
Microwave-assisted reaction between 2-(3-oxoindolin-2-yl)-2-phenylacetonitriles andbenzene-1,2-diamines leads to the high-yielding formation of the corresponding quinoxalines as sole, easily isolaable products. The featured transformation involves unusual extrusion of phenylacetonitrile molecule and could be performed in a short sequence starting from commonly available indoles and nitroolefins.

A highly efficient and expeditious one-pot approach towards 2-(3-oxoindolin-2-yl)acetonitriles was designed, which involves a base-assisted aldol reaction of ortho-nitroacetophenones, followed by hydrocyanation, triggering an unusual reductive cyclization reaction.

The mechanistic rationale involving activation of nitroalkanes towards interaction with nucleophilic reagents in the presence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) was re-evaluated. Could nitrile oxide moieties be formed during this process? This experiment demonstrates that at least in some cases this could happen, as generated nitrile oxides were successfully intercepted as adducts of [3 + 2] cycloadditions.
RESUMO
A convenient preparative method is developed allowing for expeditious assembly of 3,5-diarylsubstituted 5-hydroxy-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones from routinely available inexpensive synthetic precursors. These compounds could not be prepared via the previously known protocols, as 2-aminofuran derivatives were produced instead.
