The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has traditionally been and remains a bright area chemical science in Russia. This is due to the fact that many heterocycles find widest application. These are key structural fragments most drugs, plant protection agents. Many natural also derivatives heterocycles. At present, more than half hundreds millions known collective review devoted achievements Russian chemists this field over last 15–20 years. presents leading heterocyclists representing both...
PPA-activated nitroalkanes are employed in the design of a one-pot cascade transformation involving<italic>ortho</italic>-C–H functionalization, by Beckman rearrangement, and condensation to produce benzoxazoles benzobisoxazoles directly from phenols.
An acid-assisted [4 + 1]-cycloaddition of indoles with nitrostyrenes affords 4′H-spiro[indole-3,5′-isoxazoles] in a diastereomerically pure form. Several these spirocyclic molecules exhibit promising anticancer activity by reducing viability and inducing differentiation neuroblastoma cells.
Indolo[3,2-c]quinolones have been efficiently synthesized via an acid-mediated, one-pot, three-component condensation of arylhydrazines, o-aminoacetophenones, and triazines or nitriles. The synthetic application this method is showcased by the concise synthesis isocryptolepine alkaloid a series its analogues with demonstrated cancer cell antiproliferative activities.
A novel method employing a tandem Cadogan and Arbuzov reaction sequence has been developed, providing access to series of previously unreported dimethyl (Z)-((3-oxoindolin-2-ylidene)(aryl)methyl)phosphonates. Restricted rotation the aryl substituent, particularly in presence ortho substituents, gives axial chirality these compounds.

Unexpectedly, attempted reactions substrates possessing nonprotected nitrogen atoms accompanied by unusual extrusions 2-arylacetonitriles, followed a 1,2-aryl shift to afford 3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones. On the other hand, for N-alkyl derivatives oxoindolines took expected route only providing 1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydropyrrolo[3,2-b]indoles.
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 polycyclic indole derivatives structurally similar to Ergot alkaloids.
