RESUMEN
Predicting selectivity and conversion in a confined reaction medium under photochemical conditions is highly challenging as compared to the corresponding conventional synthesis. Herein, we report the use of a simple carbohydrate-derived eutectogel to facilitate LED-light-induced regioselective synthesis of 4-arylamino-1,2-naphthoquinones in good yield. This methodology, by including a reusable reaction medium, proved to have the potential of affording the regioselective formation of various desired products in good yields.
RESUMEN
A series of self-assembling gluconamide conjugated naphthalimide amphiphiles (GCNA) was synthesized and the self-assembly of GCNA into gel rendered an increased electron density in naphthalimide moiety with an overall change in energy of 15.33×10-32 â J via J-type aggregation. SEM analysis and X-ray diffraction underpinning the nanofibrillar formation, and rheological measurements confirmed the processablity and material fabrication. The enriched electron density in the aggregated GCNA4 via cooperative intermolecular non-covalent interactions makes it as effective electron donor in the fabrication of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG). The TENG based on GCNA4-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) triboelectric pair generated an output voltage, current and power density of â¼250â V, 40â µA and â¼622â mW/m2 respectively, which is almost 2.4â times better in performance than the amorphous GCNA4 based TENG. The fabricated TENG can power-up 240 LEDs, wrist watch, thermometer, calculator and hygrometer.
RESUMEN
An efficient, secondary amine-catalyzed cascade annulation of 2-O/N-propargylarylaldehydes with 2,6-dialkylphenols was established to access biologically relevant functionalized 2H-chromenes and 1,2-dihydroquinolines tethered with a synthetically useful p-quinone methide scaffold in high yields under microwave irradiation and conventional heating conditions. The microwave-assisted strategy was convenient, clean, rapid, and high yielding in which the reactions were completed in just 15 min, and the yields obtained were up to 95%. This highly atom-economical domino process constructed two new C-C double bonds and a six-membered O/N-heterocyclic ring in a single synthetic operation. Its mechanism process was rationalized as involving sequential iminium ion formation, nucleophilic addition, and intramolecular annulation steps. Furthermore, the synthesized 2H-chromene derivatives were transformed into valuable indeno[2,1-c]chromenes, 5H-indeno[2,1-c]quinolines, and oxireno[2,3-c]chromene via a palladium-catalyzed double C-H bond activation process and epoxidation, respectively.
RESUMEN
An efficient, diversity-oriented synthesis of oxazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-9-ones, 6H-chromeno[4,3-b]quinolines, and dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridines was established involving a substrate-based approach under microwave-assisted and conventional heating conditions in high yields (up to 88%). The CuBr2-catalyzed, chemoselective cascade annulation of O-propargylated 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes and 2-aminobenzamides delivered oxazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-9-ones involving a 6-exo-trig cyclization-air oxidation-1,3-proton shift-7-exo-dig cyclization sequence. This one-pot process showed excellent atom economy (-H2O) and constructed two new heterocyclic rings (six- and seven-membered) and three new C-N bonds in a single synthetic operation. On the other side of diversification, the reaction between O/N-propargylated 2-hydroxy/aminobenzaldehydes and 2-aminobenzyl alcohols delivered 6H-chromeno[4,3-b]quinolines and dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridines involving sequential imine formation-[4 + 2] hetero-Diels-Alder reaction-aromatization steps. The influence of microwave assistance was superior to conventional heating, where the reactions were clean, rapid, and completed in 15 min, and the conventional heating required a longer reaction time at a relatively elevated temperature.

A microwave-assisted, palladium(II)-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-alkynylanilines tethered with an α,ß-unsaturated carbonyl moiety was established to access 5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indoles in high yields (up to 84%) in a short reaction time. This operationally simple cascade process shows 100% atom economy and allows the construction of two new five-membered rings and two new (1 C-C and 1 C-N) bonds in a single synthetic attempt. The mechanistic pathway of this reaction is visualized involving intramolecular aminopalladation (5-endo-dig) followed by carbopalladation (olefin insertion) and protonolysis steps. A systematic comparison between microwave irradiation and conventional heating methods was also performed to demonstrate the supremacy of the microwave-assisted approach. This domino reaction requires no protecting groups for the amino group and the palladium catalyst needs no ligands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on microwave-assisted nucleopalladation-initiated cascade transformation.
RESUMEN
Palladium(ii)-catalyzed regioselective syn-chloropalladation and anti-acetoxypalladation-initiated cascade processes were developed for the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydroquinolines. A series of N-propargyl arylamines tethered with an α,ß-unsaturated carbonyl scaffold underwent atom economical cascade reactions to deliver chloro- and acetoxy-substituted tetrahydroquinolines bearing an exocyclic double bond in high yields. A mechanism is proposed for these cascade processes involving a sequential syn-chloropalladation or anti-acetoxypalladation of alkynes followed by intramolecular olefin insertion (6-exo-trig) and protonolysis steps. The reaction was completely regioselective and the terminal aryl/alkyl group of the propargyl moiety dictated the regiochemistry of the initial nucleopalladation. The role of the bidentate nitrogen ligand is crucial to trigger the acetoxypalladation-initiated cascade sequence in contrast to the chloropalladation-initiated process.
RESUMEN
The synthesis of spirooxindoles bearing tetrahydro-4 H-cyclopenta[ b]furan framework was established starting from isatin-derived aldehydes and 2 equiv of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds involving a piperidine-catalyzed ABB' three-component domino process. This reaction was highly diastereoselective affording a single diastereomer of spirooxindoles with five consecutive asymmetric carbons including spiro and tetrasubstituted carbon centers. In addition, this waste-free (-2H2O) reaction showed high atom economy and step economy by creating four new bonds, including three C-C bonds and one C-O bond, and two rings (one carbo- and one heterocyclic) in a single operation. The mechanism of this three-component domino process involved sequential Knoevenagel condensation-Michael addition-intramolecular oxa-Michael addition-intramolecular aldol reactions.
RESUMEN
An efficient green protocol for the synthesis of complex hybrid heterocycles containing [1,6]-naphthyridine and coumarin/pyrazole moieties was established, involving an intramolecular [4 + 2] hetero Diels-Alder reaction as the key step. The biologically significant 12,13-dihydro-6H-benzo[h]chromeno[3,4-b][1,6]naphthyridin-6-ones and 6,10-dihydro-5H-benzo[h]pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,6]naphthyridines were synthesized starting from 2-(N-propargylamino)-arylaldehydes and 3-aminocoumarins or 3-methyl-1-aryl-1H-pyrazol-5-amines in the presence of an Amberlyst-15 catalyst in PEG-200 in good yields. The easy access to diverse complex molecules in a single operation from readily available starting materials, a commercially available, transition metal-free and recyclable catalyst, the use of a green solvent, a very high atom economy and the release of water as the only side product are the highlights of this protocol.
RESUMEN
An efficient and selective procedure for the synthesis of epiminodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocines involving a AB2 three-component reaction is developed. Two equivalents of suitably substituted 2-aminoarylaldehydes reacted with arylamines in the presence of Yb(OTf)3 to afford the desired products in high yields. The reaction is highly atom-economic and waste-free, in addition to allowing the generation of two heterocyclic rings and four C-N bonds in a single operation. Significantly, this approach is complementary to the existing literature procedures, affording arylamine-derived products that could not be accessed previously. A plausible mechanism is proposed involving an imine formation-intermolecular annulation-intramolecular iminium ion cyclization sequence.
RESUMEN
A highly efficient synthesis of 5,6-dihydrodibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridines was achieved by reaction between 2-(N-propargylamino)benzaldehydes and arylamines in the presence of CuBr2. The in situ generated electron-deficient heterodienes bearing a tethered alkyne partner underwent an intramolecular inverse electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction followed by air oxidation to furnish the products in high yields. This reaction tolerated a large number of substituents to afford diverse products under mild conditions. This strategy was also successfully extended to the synthesis of 12,13-dihydro-6H-benzo[h]chromeno[3,4-b][1,6]naphthyridin-6-ones starting from 3-amino-2H-chromen-2-one, again in high yields.
RESUMEN
The first metal free report on the amidation of aldehydes with aminopyridines was accomplished using simple aqueous hydrogen peroxide (aq. H2O2) as the oxidant. No catalysts or additives were needed for this transformation and the reaction proceeded in water, an environmentally benign reaction medium. Green oxidant and reaction conditions, and the ability to construct diverse N-(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide by this elegant method render it a practical alternative for the synthesis of these amides.
RESUMEN
N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are involved in numerous biological activities in plant and animal systems. The metabolism of these lipids by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a key regulatory point in NAE signaling activity. Several active site-directed inhibitors of FAAH have been identified, but few compounds have been described that enhance FAAH activity. Here we synthesized two sets of phenoxyacyl-ethanolamides from natural products, 3-n-pentadecylphenolethanolamide and cardanolethanolamide, with structural similarity to NAEs and characterized their effects on the hydrolytic activity of FAAH. Both compounds increased the apparent Vmax of recombinant FAAH proteins from both plant (Arabidopsis) and mammalian (Rattus) sources. These NAE-like compounds appeared to act by reducing the negative feedback regulation of FAAH activity by free ethanolamine. Both compounds added to seedlings relieved, in part, the negative growth effects of exogenous NAE12:0. Cardanolethanolamide reduced neuronal viability and exacerbated oxidative stress-mediated cell death in primary cultured neurons at nanomolar concentrations. This was reversed by FAAH inhibitors or exogenous NAE substrate. Collectively, our data suggest that these phenoxyacyl-ethanolamides act to enhance the activity of FAAH and may stimulate the turnover of NAEs in vivo. Hence, these compounds might be useful pharmacological tools for manipulating FAAH-mediated regulation of NAE signaling in plants or animals.

As a consequence of rapid population growth, the earth has faced numerous environmental sustainability issues and crises, water pollution is one of the important points of concern because of industrialization. In particular, effluents discharged from dying industries are rated top among the various industrial effluents, especially by their volume and composition. Annually >7.5 × 105 metric tons of different dyes are produced and consumed in different industries. In order to dye 1 kg of fabric, approximately 100-150 L of water is required, and after the dying process, it is discharged as an effluent either on a landfill or in water bodies. It is our responsibility to conserve environmental sustainability. In this line, we have developed a simple protocol to generate carbohydrate-based amphiphile using D-sorbitol, and pyrene-1-carboxaldehyde in good yield. This carbohydrate-based π-gelator is prone to forming a gel in various solvents and oils by the bottom-up assembly process. Morphological analysis of the self-assembled structure was identified by using optical microscopy and SEM. The viscoelastic behavior of the gel was examined by using rheology. In this paper, we explored the dye adsorption and desorption characteristics of the gel. Further, we have developed a cartridge based on cellulose using a template-assisted assembly phenomenon and demonstrated its potential in adsorbing dyes such as methylene blue, crystal violet, rhodamine B, and Congo red.
RESUMEN
Palladium-catalyzed, solvent-dependent intramolecular oxypalladation-triggered domino sequences of internal alkynes bearing tethered nucleophilic carboxylic ester and electrophilic enone functionalities were developed for the chemodivergent synthesis of two completely distinct biologically significant complex molecules including isochromenone-fused benzazepines and isobenzofuranone-fused tetrahydroquinolines/chromanes in a single synthetic operation.
RESUMEN
An efficient synthesis of highly fluorescent trisubstituted thiophenes was achieved via iodine-catalyzed, base-promoted annulation employing elemental sulfur as a sulfur source. The compounds exhibit excellent photophysical properties like solid-state fluorescence, high quantum yield and solvatochromism. As these thiophene derivatives have potential application in the development of optoelectronic devices, gram-scale synthesis of the desired heterocycles was demonstrated.
RESUMEN
The inhalation, ingestion, and body absorption of noxious gases lead to severe tissue damage, ophthalmological issues, and neurodegenerative disorders; death may even occur when recognized too late. In particular, methanol gas present in traces can cause blindness, non-reversible organ failure, and even death. Even though ample materials are available for the detection of methanol in other alcoholic analogs at ppm level, their scope is very limited because of the use of either toxic or expensive raw materials or tedious fabrication procedures. In this paper, we report on a simple synthesis of fluorescent amphiphiles achieved using a starting material derived from renewable resources, this material being methyl ricinoleate in good yields. The newly synthesized bio-based amphiphiles were prone to form a gel in a broad range of solvents. The morphology of the gel and the molecular-level interaction involved in the self-assembly process were thoroughly investigated. Rheological studies were carried out to probe the stability, thermal processability, and thixotropic behavior. In order to evaluate the potential application of the self-assembled gel in the field of sensors, we performed sensor measurements. Interestingly, the twisted fibers derived from the molecular assembly could be able to display a stable and selective response towards methanol. We believe that the bottom-up assembled system holds great promise in the environmental, healthcare, medicine, and biological fields.
RESUMEN
The design and synthesis of amphiphilic molecules play a crucial role in fabricating smart functional materials via self-assembly. Especially, biologically significant natural molecules and their structural analogues have inspired chemists and made a major contribution to the development of advanced smart materials. In this report, a series of amphiphilic N-acyl amides were synthesized from natural precursors using a simple synthetic protocol. Interestingly, the self-assembly of amphiphiles 6a and 7a furnished a hydrogel and oleogel in vegetable oils. Morphological analysis of gels revealed the existence of a 3-dimensional fibrous network. Thermoresponsive and thixotropic behavior of these gels were evaluated using rheological analysis. A composite gel prepared by the encapsulation of curcumin in the hydrogel formed from 7a displayed a gel-sol transition in response to pH and could act as a dual channel responsive drug carrier.
RESUMEN
A tandem amidation/epoxidation sequence between various substituted chalcones and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) for the synthesis of trisubstituted epoxides employing N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis was developed. This reaction was performed under metal-free conditions in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant. Trisubstituted epoxides bearing a ketone and an amide functionality (N,N-dimethyl formyl group) were synthesized starting from a wide range of chalcones in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity.
RESUMEN
Globally, wound infections are considered as one of the major healthcare problems owing to the delayed healing process in diabetic patients and microbial contamination. Thus, the development of advanced materials for wound skin repair is of great research interest. Even though several biomaterials were identified as wound healing agents, gel-based scaffolds derived from either polymer or small molecules have displayed promising wound closure mechanism. Herein, for the first time, we report an injectable and self-healing self-assembled anesthetic oleogel derived from glycolipid, which exhibits antibiofilm and wound closure performance in diabetic rat. Glycolipid derived by the reaction of hydrophobic vinyl ester with α-chloralose in the presence of novozyme 435 undergoes spontaneous self-assembly in paraffin oil furnished an oleogel displaying self-healing behavior. In addition, we have prepared composite gel by encapsulating curcumin in the 3D fibrous network of oleogel. More interestingly, glycolipid in its native form demoed potential in disassembling methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Both oleogel and composite gel enhanced the wound skin repair in diabetic induced Wistar rats by promoting collagen synthesis, controlling free radical generation and further regulating tissue remodeling phases. Altogether, the reported supramolecular self-assembled anesthetic glycolipid could be potentially used for diabetic skin wound repair and to treat bacterial biofilm related infections.

Inadvertent inhalation of various volatile organic compounds during industrial processes, such as coal and metal mining, metal manufacturing, paper and pulp industry, food processing, petroleum refining, and concrete and chemical industries, has caused an adverse effect on human health. In particular, exposure to trimethylamine (TMA), a fishy odor poisonous gas, resulted in numerous health hazards such as neurotoxicity, irritation in eyes, nose, skin, and throat, blurred vision, and many more. According to the environmental protection agency, TMA in the level of 0.10 ppm is generally considered as safe, and excess dose results in "trimethylaminuria" or "fish odor syndrome." In order to avoid the health hazards associated with the inhalation of TMA, there is an urge to design a sensor for TMA detection even at low levels for use in food-processing industries, medical diagnosis, and environment. In this report, for the first time, we have developed a TMA sensor fabric using a sequential self-assembly process from silver-incorporated glycolipids. Formation of self-assembled supramolecular architecture, interaction of the assembled structure with the cotton fabric, and sensing mechanism were completely investigated with the help of various instrumental methods. To our surprise, the developed fabric displayed a transient response for 1-500 ppm of TMA and a stable response toward 100 ppm of TMA for 15 days. We believe that the reported flexible TMA sensor fabrics developed via the sequential self-assembly process hold great promise for various innovative applications in environment, healthcare, medicine, and biology.
