The prevalence of five-membered carbocycles in a multitude of natural and bioactive products has triggered an intense development of efficient methods for their construction. In particular, asymmetric versions of the Nazarov reaction are achieved by using either a chiral auxiliary or a chiral catalyst, which can be an organocatalyst, a metal catalyst, or a multicatalytic system. This review aims to update the field of asymmetric Nazarov reactions published in 2017. It is divided into four sections, dealing successively with Nazarov reactions of chiral auxiliaries, organocatalytic enantioselective Nazarov reactions, metal/boron-catalyzed enantioselective Nazarov reactions, and multicatalytic enantioselective Nazarov reactions. Each section of the review is subdivided into simple asymmetric Nazarov reactions and Nazarovbased domino/tandem reactions, which have allowed numerous more complex functionalized chiral molecules to be synthesized in one-pot procedures.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140612263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important industrial enzyme, α-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae was immobilized on PANI-SnO2-NC, which retained 87% enzyme activity. The improved stability of the immobilized enzyme was noticed against pH and temperature, as it retained 65% activity at 60 °C while the free enzyme exhibited 41% activity under similar experimental conditions. Moreover, PANI-SnO2- NC-immobilized α-amylase produced starch (26.42 mg mL–1) more efficiently than free enzyme (20.90 mg mL– 1) after 8 h in batch hydrolysis. PANI-SnO2-NC-bound α-amylase exhibited 54% activity after eight repeated uses.

The selected quinoline derivatives have been synthesized by adopting the Skraup-Doebner-Von Miller reaction.

At ambient conditions, various aldehydes were employed in a clean esterification reaction to afford numerous esters in good to excellent yields. By this adopted method, some multifunctional aldehydes, high-energy-containing aromatic and unsaturated aldehydes, were advantageously oxidized to esters without noticeable difficulties. Moreover, no over-oxidation occurred to alcohols, and most byproducts were not formed during this oxidation process. Conventional and some modern methods lag behind owing to their easier operability and easy work-up process. This investigation has proven that the required oxidant (NaIO4) or catalyst (Pd-C) is useless to employ in excess, although some current methods utilize hugely expensive reagents for such conversions. Mundane reaction set-up, easy product recovery technique, non-toxic catalyst, and cheap and available starting materials are the noteworthy advantages of this method.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140581033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
