ABSTRACT This review article represents a survey covering the literatures on Vilsmeier-Haack reaction, glutarimides and dihydropyridines. This short review also provides an update on recent reports and demonstrates the usefulness and the efficiency of this approach. The data on the methods of synthesis, chemical reactions, and biological activity of these heterocycles published over the last years are reviewed here for the first time.

Mandour Chemistry of Natural Compounds Department, National Research Centre, P.O. Box 12622 Dokki, Giza, Egypt . 1H-Indole-3-carboxaldehyde and its derivatives have represented the key intermediates for the preparation of biologically active compounds as well indole alkaloids. Also, they are important precursors for the synthesis of divers heterocyclic derivatives because their carbonyl groups facilely undergo C–C and C–N coupling reactions and reductions. This review highlights the recent advances in 1H-indole-3-carboxaldhyde chemistry via discussing different synthetic procedures developed for the preparation of its derivatives, as well sheds the light on the most common reactions of 1H-indole-3-carboxaldhyde derivatives and exploitation of these derivatives as the blocks of many biologically active compounds.

  • Vilsmeier-Haack Reactions in Synthesis of Heterocycles: an Overview
    Chapter 2 Vilsmeier-Haack reactions in Synthesis of Heterocycles: An Overview 2.1 Introduction In 1927 Vilsmeier and Haack observed that N-methylformanilide 1 can formylate aniline derivatives in the presence of POCl3. Later the reaction was extended using simple formamide derivatives like N,N- dimethylformamide, N-formylpiperidine, N-formylmorpholine etc. to formylate electron rich aromatic and aliphatic substrates, and these types of reactions are known as Vilsmeier-Haack reactions.2 A Vilsmeier- Haack reagent 3 is produced when a disubstituted formamide or amide, typically N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) 1 is treated with an acid halide, frequently phosphorous oxychloride, though to a lesser extent, oxalyl chloride (Scheme 2.1). O OPOCl 2 Cl POCl H N 3 H N H N Cl OPOCl 2 1 2 3 Scheme 2.1 A large number of aromatic and aliphatic substrates, particularly the carbonyl compounds containing methyl or methylene groups adjacent to the carbonyl groups undergo iminoalkylation by the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent.2 Hydrolysis of iminium salts formed in this reaction afford aldehyde derivatives. Usually the reactions of active methylene compounds with reagents of the Vilsmeier type afford -chloromethyleneiminium salts or -chlorovinylaldehydes, which have been recognized as useful intermediates 13 in heterocyclic synthesis. An overview of important Vilsmeier-Haack formylation reactions and Vilsmeier-Haack reactions leading to heterocycles is included in this chapter. 2.2 The Vilsmeier-Haack reactions of aromatic compounds The Vilsmeier-Haack reactions of electron rich aromatic compounds, generally, afford aldehyde derivatives in good yields. For example, N,N- dimethylaniline 4 afford p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde 6 (Scheme 2.2).2a Anthracenes, naphthalenes and other polycyclic aromatic compounds also undergo facile formylation.

  • Ortho-Formylations of Phenols; Preparation of 3-Bromosalicylaldehyde
    DOI:10.15227/orgsyn.089.0220 Discussion Addendum for: ortho-Formylations of Phenols; Preparation of 3-Bromosalicylaldehyde OH OH Br MgCl2, Et3N, (CH2O)n Br CHO THF, 2 hr Trond Vidar Hansen1 and Lars Skattebøl.2* Original article: Hansen, T. V.; Skattebøl, L. Org. Synth. 2005, 82, 64. Several methods are available for the direct formylation of phenols, but most of them suffer from lack of regioselectivity. Moreover, several of the methods involve the use of noxious reagents and harsh reaction conditions resulting in moderate to good yields of aldehydes.3 An exception is the formylation of phenols using the acceptable reagents MgCl2, Et3N and paraformaldehyde giving high yields of salicylaldehydes from reactions exclusively at the ortho-position.4 Additional examples and applications of this method since its appearance in 1999 are presented here. We have emphasized the scope of the reaction and its participation in one-pot preparations. Scope of the ortho-Formylation Reaction Numerous applications of the formylation reaction have been reported in the past twelve years. A number of substituted phenols have been successfully formylated (Figure 1). Alkyl and alkoxy substituents promote the formylation, with high to excellent yields of salicylaldehydes being obtained (Figure 1).4,5 Highly substituted phenols undergo the reaction; for example, reaction of the phenol 1 furnished the salicylaldehyde 2 in 62% yield.6 Surprisingly, however, ,bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)alkanes were 7 unreactive towards the method. 220 Org.

  • Development of Novel Heterocyclic Compounds As Vascular Targeting Agents
    Development of Novel Heterocyclic Compounds as Vascular Targeting Agents Patrick Killoran School of Environment & Life Sciences, University of Salford, Salford, UK Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, July 2015 Acknowledgement This research project would not have been possible without the support of many people. I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisor Dr John (Hadders) Hadfield for his patience and advice. A big thanks to Prof A McGown and Kidscan (Holly, Chris X 2, James, Jane and Lowri) for the funding and enthusiasm that made this happen. I would like to thank Guillaume Mossand and Mellisa Rosell for their help with the synthesis of dibenzo(b,d)oxepines. My thanks also extend to Tiabauld Peuden and Dr Nick Hirst for their invaluable help in the development of the Ziegler-Ullman biaryl coupling methodology and Pd catalysed o arylation respectively. Lots of thanks also to the lovely Kamila Schmidt for her help with biological testing and her heavy metal melodies! Along with being the biggest wind-up artist in Salford, Kirit Amin is a true wizard of NMR, I would be lost without his assistance and I thank him greatly! A letter should be sent to the Vatican to get the ball rolling on Mark Parlby’s sainthood, thanks for everything. I also extend my thanks to all of the technicians, who have helped and given me cake over the years, I am very grateful. Dr Steve Rossington is a true gent and a friend. If you substitute the L.A underground for the University of Salford in the opening sequence of the A-Team, that sums up what a great guy he is.
