Water-Promoted Regiospecific Azidolysis and Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition: One-Pot Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-1-alkyl-3-[(4-aryl/alkyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]indolin-2-ones.

An efficient, eco-friendly, base free, one-pot, sequential protocol was developed for epoxide azidolysis and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition using water as the solvent for the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-1-alkyl-3-[(4-aryl/alkyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]indolin-2-ones. The optimized reaction conditions have been generalized in the case of aromatic as well as aliphatic alkyne partners to afford good yields and high regioselectivity.

Synthetic and Clinical Perspectives of Evotaz: An Overview.

Viruses cause a variety of diseases in the human body. Antiviral agents are used to prevent the production of disease-causing viruses. These agents obstruct and kill the virus's translation and replication. Because viruses share the metabolic processes of the majority of host cells, finding targeted medicines for the virus is difficult. In the ongoing search for better antiviral agents, the USFDA approved EVOTAZ, a new drug discovered for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It is a once-daily (OD) fixed-dose combination of Cobicistat, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme inhibitor, and Atazanavir, a protease inhibitor. The combination drug was created in such a way that it can inhibit both CYP enzymes and proteases at the same time, resulting in the virus's death. The drug is not effective in children under the age of 18; however, it is still being studied for various parameters. This review article focuses on EVOTAZ's preclinical and clinical aspects, as well as its efficacy and safety profiles.

Total synthesis of a pyrroloindoloquinazoline alkaloid.

A highly concise stereoselective synthesis of a newly identified alkaloid with a pyrroloindoloquinazoline skeleton has been achieved. To this end, a chiral auxiliary mediated asymmetric acetate aldol reaction on tryptanthrin was explored and the resulting adduct was converted to the product by a novel one-pot reductive cyclization/transamidation using NiCl2·6H2O/NaBH4 in methanol.

Stereoregulations of pyrimidinone based chiral auxiliary in aldol and alkylation reactions: a convenient route to oxyneolignans.

(S)-4-Isopropyl-1-phenyltetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one was synthesized and evaluated as a chiral auxiliary for asymmetric acetate and propionate aldol reactions, by generation of titanium and lithium enolates, affording excellent yields and stereoselectivities for syn and anti aldol diastereomers, respectively. High stereoselectivities were also obtained in lithium mediated alkylation reactions. The application of the auxiliary was exemplified in the asymmetric synthesis of a natural oxyneolignan, (+)-(7S,8S)-4-hydroxy-3,3',5'-trimethoxy-8',9'-dinor-8,4'-oxyneoligna-7,9-diol-7'-oic acid.
