RESUMO
Hypervalent iodine reagents have been developed as highly valuable reagents in synthetic organic chemistry during the past few decades. These reagents have been identified as key replacements of various toxic heavy metals in organic synthesis. Various synthetically and biologically important scaffolds have been developed using hypervalent iodine reagents either in stoichiometric or catalytic amounts. In addition, hypervalent iodine reagents have been employed for the synthesis of spirocyclic scaffolds via dearomatization processes. In this review, various approaches for the synthesis of spirocyclic scaffolds using hypervalent iodine reagents are covered including their stereoselective synthesis. Additionally, the applications of these reagents in natural product synthesis are also covered.
RESUMO
A simple yet convenient nucleophile-induced synthetic route for the construction of thermally stable fluorescent active functionalized stilbenes has been delineated. The nucleophile-induced base encouraged synthetic protocol was performed under mild conditions without harming the environment and products were achieved in good yields. The synthesized stilbenes showed amazing emission properties and good thermal stability. Synthesized products displayed interesting positive solvatochromism in different solvents based on variation in polarity. Further, we present a comprehensive analysis of the eight molecules, leveraging a combination of Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB), Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. This integrated approach allowed for an in-depth exploration of the electronic structures, reactivity profiles, and dynamic behaviors of these complex molecular systems. Our findings reveal significant insights into the physicochemical properties of the synthesized molecules, contributing to a deeper understanding of their potential applications in various fields.
