2,1,3‐Benzothiadiazole and Derivatives: Synthesis, Properties, Reactions, and Applications in Light Technology of Small Molecules
TL;DR: The 2,1,3-Benzothiadiazole (BTD) is one of the most important nuclei used in the chemistry of photoluminescent compounds and applicable for light technology as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do we know about multicomponent reactions? Mechanisms and trends for the Biginelli, Hantzsch, Mannich, Passerini and Ugi MCRs
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to highlight what the authors already know about the mechanisms associated with these MCRs and the evidence supporting the proposed reaction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic chalcogenylation under greener conditions: a solvent-free sulfur- and seleno-functionalization of olefins via I2/DMSO oxidant system.
André A. Vieira,Juliano B. Azeredo,Marcelo Godoi,Claudio Santi,Eufrânio N. da Silva Júnior,Antonio L. Braga +5 more
TL;DR: A solvent- and metal-free methodology for the alkoxy-chalcogenylation of styrenes, using molecular iodine as a catalyst, DMSO as a stoichiometric oxidant, and different nucleophiles under microwave irradiation is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of quinoidal molecules: strategies towards bioactive compounds with an emphasis on lapachones.
TL;DR: This mini-review focuses on the synthetic aspects and strategies used to design naphthoquinoidal compounds and on the biological activities of these substances for the development of drugs against the neglected diseases leishmaniasis and Chagas disease as well as malaria, tuberculosis and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent naphthoquinones against antimony-sensitive and -resistant Leishmania parasites: Synthesis of novel α- and nor-α-lapachone-based 1,2,3-triazoles by copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition
