Baylis-Hillman reaction assisted parallel synthesis of 3, 5-disubstituted isoxazoles and their in vivo bioevaluation as antithrombotic agents

The solution phase parallel synthesis involving reactions of Baylis-Hillman products of 3-substituted-5-isoxazolecarbaldehydes with nucleophiles and their in vivo antithrombotic evaluations are described along with the results of in vitro platelet aggregation inhibition assay of a few compounds. Results of the detailed evaluation of one of the compounds as an inhibitor of platelet aggregation are also presented.

Convenient synthesis of substituted α-methylene--valerolactones in aqueous medium using Baylis-Hillman chemistry

A mild and convenient synthesis of substituted α-methylene--valerolactones was achieved by SN2 nucleophilic substitution of the acetates of the Baylis-Hillman adducts with acetyl acetone followed by one-pot saponification of the ester, reduction of the keto group and subsequent intramolecular ring closure in aqueous medium.

An alternate approach to quinoline architecture via Baylis-Hillman chemistry: SnCl2-mediated tandem reaction toward synthesis of 4-(substituted vinyl)-quinolines

An alternate approach to densely substituted quinolines from the products of SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction between the acetyl derivatives of the Baylis-Hillman adducts obtained from 2-nitrobenzaldehydes and the carbonyl group containing carbon nucleophiles is described. Treatment of these compounds with SnCl2, trigger a tandem reaction wherein reduction of the nitro group is followed by a remarkably regioselective intramolecular cyclization and subsequent dehydrogenation to afford 4-(substituted vinyl)-quinolines.

A Facile synthesis of 3-Methylene-4-aryl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b][1,4] di-azepin-2-ones and 3-arylemethylene-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-ylamines

A simple and convenient synthesis of 3-methylene-4-aryl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b][1,4] diazepin-2-ones was accomplished by the SN2 nucleophilic substitution of the acetates of Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylate with 1,2-phenylenediamines followed by base-mediated intramolecular cyclization. On the other hand similar substrates derived from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylonitrile via Pinner’s reaction leads to 3-arylmethylene-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-ylamines in good yields..

Studies on Electrophilic Substitution Reactions of 3-Phenyl-cycl[3.2.2]azine

Acetylation and formylation of 3-phenyl-cycl[3.2.2]azine derivatives, in the presence of Lewis acids, have been Investigated. It has been found that the orientation of substitution in 2-carbomethoxy- 3-phenyl-cycl[3.2.2]azine for these two reactions, under Identical conditions, is different.
