Sodium hydride-mediated synthesis of 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles from anti-3-aryl-2,3-dibromopropanoic acids and organic azides

A series of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are synthesized by a one-pot process from anti-3-aryl-2,3-dibromopropanoic acids and organic azides mediated by sodium hydride in dimethyl sulfoxide.The reaction is mild and simple,does not require a transition-metal catalyst,and gives products in good to excellent yields.

Hydrogenation of Olefins Catalyzed by Highly Active Titanocene/NaH or n-BuLi Catalyst Systems

The effects of the substituents on the cyclopentadienyl ring and the reducing agents on the catalytic activity and the stability of titanocene/NaH or n BuLi systems for the hydrogenation of olefins were investigated. For the catalyst systems composed of titanocene/NaH or n BuLi, the nature and the number of the substituents on the cyclopentadienyl ring control the catalytic behavior of those two systems. The effect of the reducing agent on the catalytic activity is relatively small. In addition, the characters of the hydrogenation of various olefins catalyzed respectively by Cp 2TiCl 2/NaH or n BuLi systems were compared.

A Mild and Efficient Synthesis of Chiral N-Boc-a-aminoaldehydes

A series of chiral N-Boc-α-aminoaldehydes were synthesized in good yields and high purity via esterification of Boc-L-amino acids followed by reduction with sodium bis （2-methoxy- ethoxy）aluminum hydride.

Facile and efficient synthesis of 5,7-disubstituted thiazolo[5,4-d] pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)-diones

A facile and efficient approach was developed to access 5, 7-disubstitued thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-4, 6（5H, 7H）-diones through condensation of N-substituted 5-amino-4-carbethoxythiazole with structurally diverse isocyanates in the presence of sodium hydride. The easy availability of substrates and tolerance of structural diversity in this reaction make it attractive to be used for construction of libraries in drug discovery process.
