TL;DR: A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of novel dispiropyrrolidine bisoxindole derivatives by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides has been developed by using a one-pot multicomponent procedure.
Abstract: A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of novel dispiropyrrolidine bisoxindole derivatives by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides has been developed. The synthesis was achieved by using a one-pot multicomponent procedure. The features of this procedure were characterized by the following: mild reaction conditions, high yields, high regio- and stereoselectivity, one-pot procedure, and operational simplicity.

TL;DR: A series of novel spiropyrrolidines and spirothiapyrrolizidines were synthesized via a three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of isatin or acenaphthenequinone, sarcosine or thiaproline and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-phenylacryloyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones in refluxing ethanol.
Abstract: A series of novel spiropyrrolidines and spirothiapyrrolizidines were synthesized via a three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of isatin or acenaphthenequinone, sarcosine or thiaproline and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-((E)-3-phenylacryloyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones in refluxing ethanol. Advantages of this method include the availability of starting materials, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and the complete regioselectivity observed.

TL;DR: Compared with the classical synthetic method, this new method has the advantages of short reaction time, high yields, convenient manipulation, and high regioselectivity.
Abstract: 1,2,3,5-Tetrasubstituted and 1,2,3,4,5-pentasubstituted pyrroles may be synthesized through three-component reaction of 1,3-diketones, aldehydes, and amines induced by low-valent titanium reagent. High regioselectivity was achieved. Compared with the classical synthetic method, this new method has the advantages of short reaction time (15 min), high yields, convenient manipulation, and high regioselectivity.

TL;DR: The present review is a transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of aromatic monocyclic heterocycles, aiming at achieving greater levels of molecular complexity and better functional group compatibilities in a convergent and atom economical fashions from readily accessible starting materials and under mild reaction conditions.
Abstract: Heterocycles constitute the largest and the most diverse family of organic compounds Among them, aromatic heterocycles represent structural motifs found in a great number of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds, drugs, and agrochemicals Moreover, aromatic heterocycles are widely used for synthesis of dyes and polymeric materials of high value 1 There are numerous reports on employment of aromatic heterocycles as intermediates in organic synthesis 2 Although, a variety of highly efficient methodologies for synthesis of aromatic heterocycles and their derivatives have been reported in the past, the development of novel methodologies is in cuntinious demand Particlularly, development of new synthetic approaches toward heterocycles, aiming at achieving greater levels of molecular complexity and better functional group compatibilities in a convergent and atom economical fashions from readily accessible starting materials and under mild reaction conditions, is one of a major research endeavor in modern synthetic organic chemistry Transition metal-catalyzed transformations, which often help to meet the above criteria, are among the most attractive synthetic tools Several excellent reviews dealing with transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of heterocyclic compounds have been published in literature during recent years Many of them highlighted the use of a particular transition metal, such as gold,3 silver,4 palladium,5 copper,6 cobalt,7 ruthenium,8 iron,9 mercury,10 rare-earth metals,11 and others Another array of reviews described the use of a specific kind of transformation, for instance, intramolecular nucleophilic attack of heteroatom at multiple C–C bonds,12 Sonogashira reaction,13 cycloaddition reactions,14 cycloisomerization reactions,15 C–H bond activation processes,16 metathesis reactions,17 etc Reviews devoted to an application of a particular type of starting materials have also been published Thus, for example, applications of isocyanides,18 diazocompounds,19 or azides20 have been discussed In addition, a significant attention was given to transition metal-catalyzed multicomponent syntheses of heterocycles21 Finally, syntheses of heterocycles featuring formation of intermediates, such as nitrenes,22 vinylidenes,23 carbenes, and carbenoids24 have also been reviewed The main focus of the present review is a transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of aromatic monocyclic heterocycles The organization of the review is rather classical and is based on a heterocycle, categorized in the following order: (a) ring size of heterocycle, (b) number of heteroatoms, (c) type of heterocycle, and (d) a class of transformation involved A brief mechanistic discussion is given to provide information about a possible reaction pathway when necessary The review mostly discusses recent literature, starting from 200425 until the end of 2011, however, some earlier parent transformations are discussed when needed

TL;DR: In this review, attempts have been made to disclose various tactical approaches to synthesize pyrrole and pyr role containing analogs along with their therapeutic applications which have been reported during last decade.
Abstract: Pyrrole is widely known as a biologically active scaffold which possesses a diverse nature of activities. The combination of different pharmacophores in a pyrrole ring system has led to the formation of more active compounds. Pyrrole containing analogs are considered as a potential source of biologically active compounds that contains a significant set of advantageous properties and can be found in many natural products. The marketed drugs containing a pyrrole ring system are known to have many biological properties such as antipsychotic, β-adrenergic antagonist, anxiolytic, anticancer (leukemia, lymphoma and myelofibrosis etc.), antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antimalarial and many more. Due to the diversity of these analogs in the therapeutic response profile, many researchers have been working to explore this skeleton to its maximum potential against several diseases or disorders. In this review, attempts have been made to disclose various tactical approaches to synthesize pyrrole and pyrrole containing analogs. The structure–activity relationship studies have been discussed along with their therapeutic applications which have been reported during last decade. Some molecules as the main components of the market and clinical trials have also been discussed.
