The first electrophilic α-amination reaction of labdane-type diterpene (−)-(5S,9S,10S,13S)-labd-7-en-15-oic acid and (+)-(5S,8R,9R,10S,13R)-8-hydroxylabdan-15-oic acid, isolated from aerial parts of Ageratina jocotepecana is presented. In the presence of dibenzylazodicarboxylate and proline followed by an in situ reduction, the corresponding hydrazino alcohols were obtained. It is demonstrated that the first diterpene moiety had no influence in the diastereoselectivity that is then controlled by the catalyst used, at the opposite to the second diterpene that mainly control the diastereochemistry of the product.

The Ugi-azide MCR (UA) is one of the most efficient methods for the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted-1H-tetrazoles (1,5-DS-T). Complex drug-like scaffolds incorporating tetrazoles have demonstrated a wide range of therapeutic benefits such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibiotic, anti-ulcer, anti-anxiety and anti-hypertensive agents, attributable to their mimetic cis amide of peptide bonds that enhance metabolic stability, selectivity and other beneficial physicochemical properties, in addition to their applications in bioimaging, photoimaging and coordination chemistry. Herein, we present the ultrasound-assisted sustainable synthesis of six novel 1,5 DS-T under solvent-free conditions.

Nitrogen heterocycles are key motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals, particularly imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines (IMPs), which exhibit valuable biological and photophysical properties. The Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé reaction (GBBR) provides an efficient one-pot route to synthesize IMPs with high atom economy, operational simplicity, broad functional group tolerance, and reduced hazardous waste. Herein, we report a novel GBBR synthesis of pyrrole-substituted IMPs from pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde using ethanol as a greener solvent. The direct connection of the electron-rich pyrrole moiety to the IMP framework extends the conjugated heteroaromatic system and offers opportunities to modulate its electronic and photophysical properties. Their structural novelty could enable applications in advanced chemical and biochemical sensing, optoelectronic devices, and biological imaging.

The imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole scaffold is widely present in natural and synthetic compounds with important properties or biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tuberculosis, cytotoxic, anthelmintic, anti-hypertensive, or herbicidal properties. The isocyanide multicomponent reaction (I-MCR) process is a greener alternative and efficient synthetic tool. Herein, we describe a novel methodology, one-pot synthesis for the synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole by Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé reaction (GBBR) using little-explored 3-formylchromone.
