One-pot Synthesis of 1-Aryloxyacety l-4-(4'-nitrophenyloxyacetyl)-thiosemicarbazides under Phase Transfer Catalysis and Microwave Irradiation

The 1-aryloxyacetyl-4-(4-nitrophenyloxyacetyl)-thiosemicarbazides (3a-h) are synthe- sized via reaction of 4-nitrophenyloxyacetyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate and aryloxyacetic hydrazides (2a-h) under phase transfer catalysis and microwave irradiation in excellent yield.

Microwave-prompted Rapid and Efficient Synthesis of Diacyl Thiosemicarbazides and Semicarbazides in Solvent and Catalyst Free Condition

Eighteen 1-aroyl-4-（2-iodobenzoyl）thiosemicarbazides and corresponding semicarbazides were synthesized in excellent yield under microwave irradiation in solvent and catalyst free condition.

PHASE TRANSFER CATALYZED SYNTHESIS OF DIARYL 2－NITRO－1，4－PHENYLENEDIOXYDIACETATES

A series of new diaryl 2-nitro-1, 4-phenylenedioxydiacestates were synthesized bythe reaction of 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenedioxydiacetyl chloride with various substituted phenolsunder the condition of liquid-liquid phase transfer catalysis using polyethylene glycol-400 asthe catalyst.

PEG-OSO_3H as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds via the Mannich reaction in PEG-H_2O

Sulfuric acid-modified polyethylene glycol 6000（PEG-OSO_3H） was applied as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis ofβ-amino carbonyl compounds via the Mannich reaction between aldehydes,aromatic ketones and aromatic amines at room temperature using PEG400-H_2O（1：1） as environment-friendly solvents.The reactions were completed in short times and mild reaction conditions with good to excellent yields.

Radical cation salts induced domino reaction of anilines with enol ethers:Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives

A domino reaction of anilines with cyclic and acyclic enol ethers induced by catalytic amounts of TBPA^（·＋）（5 mol%） was investigated and a series of 2,4-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines were synthesized.Different from cyclic enol ethers, when acyclic enol ethers were used in the reaction,they serve as surrogates of acetaldehyde,producing a series of 2-methyl-4- anilino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines.A single electron transfer mechanism was proposed to rationalize the products formation.

Cross double Mannich reaction catalyzed by I_2:Synthesis of highly substituted 4-piperidones

Cross double Mannich reaction and tandem cyclization were achieved under iodine catalyzed conditions,yielding a series of highly substituted 4-piperidones.Among the possible diastereomers,only one diastereomer was isolated,which could be ascribed to the chair-like transition state in six-membered ring,in which all of the hindered groups are located in the pseudoequatorial orientation.
