The pyridine‐based halogenated hydrazone derivatives (E)‐N′‐benzylidene‐2‐(6″‐chloroazin‐2″‐yl)oxyacetohydrazide (6a), (E)‐N′‐(3′‐chlorobenzylidene)‐2‐(6″‐chloroazin‐2″‐yl)oxyacetohydrazide (6b) and ...(E)‐N′‐(3′‐bromobenzylidene)‐2‐(6″‐chloroazin‐2″‐yl)oxyacetohydrazide (6c) have been obtained using 6‐chloro‐2‐hydroxypyridine. The structure of the products (6a–c) has been verified using X‐ray crystallography and spectroscopic approaches. A single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (SC‐XRD) investigation showed that the structures are stabilized by intermolecular attractive forces. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) has been adopted to explore the structural properties, vibrational spectra, noncovalent interactions and frontier molecular orbitals using the B3LYP/6‐311 + G(d,p) level. The nonlinear optical properties of the title compounds were calculated using the CAM‐B3LYP/6‐311 + G(d,p) level. Frequency analysis confirmed the stability of the molecules, and an excellent correlation was observed between the DFT‐ and SC‐XRD‐based structural parameters. The SC‐XRD analysis confirmed that the dimers of 6a, 6b and 6c are linked by hydrogen‐bonding interactions. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis also reconfirmed the strength of intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding and hyperconjugative interactions. NBO investigation was also utilized to analyze the atomic charges. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared and natural population analyses endorsed that there are significant N H⋅⋅⋅O C hydrogen‐bonding linkages in dimeric structures of the compounds. The hydrogen‐bonding network and different sorts of hyperconjugative interactions are the main reasons for the stability of the products in the solid state. The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies and first‐order nonlinear optical properties of these molecules are reported. The quantum chemical parameters were derived using frontier molecular orbital energies.

A dual photocatalytic sulfonylation‐arylation of electron‐rich alkenes is described.

A simple procedure for the copper‐catalyzed synthesis of 3‐(N‐heteroaryl)acrylonitriles was developed. Using a combination of Lewis and Brønsted acids, this one‐pot procedure undergoes via a radical ...conjugated addition and dehydration processes, without isolation of any intermediate, affording the acrylonitriles. This diastereoselective approach allowed the synthesis of a broad scope of quinazoline derivatives (22 examples) with moderate to good yields and good functional‐group tolerance and could be extended to other N‐heterocyles such as quinolines and isoquinolines. Based on control experiments, a mechanistic proposal for this new transformation is also presented.
A one‐pot synthesis of new acrylonitriles using a combination of Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts was developed. Under the optimized conditions, 22 quinazoline, quinoline, and isoquinoline derivatives were prepared containing electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing groups. A mechanistic pathway was proposed via a radical conjugated addition of β‐nitrostyrenes to methylazaarenes followed by dehydration processes.
The iron(III)‐promoted synthesis of densely‐substituted 4H‐chalcogenchromene from organochalcogen propargylamines in the presence of diaryl dichalcogenides is reported. Subsequent ...C2‐functionalization with electrophiles and potassium trifluoroborate salts via Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reaction are also presented. A plausible mechanism based on HRMS experiments is proposed and discussed.
The steroselective oxa‐Michael addition of the phenol moiety present in tyrosine and 3‐iodotyrosine to different propargyl aldehydes delivered products with predominantly Z stereochemistry, as ...evidenced by X‐ray crystallography analysis. When ethyl propiolate was used as the propargyl ester source, the products were achieved with exclusively E stereochemistry with yields ranging from 17% to 91%. The oxa‐Michael addition compounds served as substrates in the synthesis of 5‐ and 6‐membered heterocyclic compounds. The atmosphere applied to the reaction medium directly influenced the formation of the products. When an inert atmosphere of nitrogen was applied, a 2‐aryl‐3‐formyl‐5‐alanylbenzofuran core was selectively obtained via a Heck intramolecular reaction, while the reactions carried out under a carbon monoxide atmosphere led exclusively to 6‐alanyl‐2‐arylflavone derivatives via reductive intramolecular acylation.
Herein we describe a compelling sequential methodology for obtaining optically active α‐arylmethanols‐1,2,3‐triazoles. The approach is based on the enantioselective alkynylation of aldehydes followed ...by a one‐pot two‐step desilylation/CuI‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), providing the corresponding products with excellent yields and high levels of enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the click chemistry can be performed without affecting the enantiomeric excess. The application of the reaction has been demonstrated in the synthesis of a 1,2,3‐triazole analog of antihistaminic and anticholinergic drug (R)‐orphenadrine.

A mild stereo‐ and regioselective Cu‐catalyzed hydroboration method for the synthesis of (Z)‐seleno‐alkenyl boronates and (Z)‐thio‐alkenylboronates from internal alkynes in the presence of ...commercially available B2pin2 is presented. This highly selective transformation relies on the use of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex IPrCuCl as the active catalytic species. We also explore the functionalization of the alkenylboronates obtained via oxidation to give α‐chalcogeno ketones, useful building blocks for the synthesis of more complex chalcogen‐containing molecules.
