Design, synthesis, and preliminary pharmacological evaluation of novel thiazolidinone derivatives as potential benzodiazepine agonists

Abstract: Thiazolidinones are well-known heterocycles that demonstrate promising biological effects such as anticonvulsant activity. Hybridization of these chemicals with scaffold, which has necessary pharmacophores for binding to the benzodiazepine recep

A photoredox-neutral Smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids

We report on the use of visible light photoredox catalysis for the radical Smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids to obtain aryl salicylates. The method is free of noble metals and operationally simple and the reaction can be run under mild batch or flow conditions. Being a redox neutral process, no stoichiometric oxidants or reductants are needed.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-phenoxybenzoic acids

Substituted 2-phenoxybenzoic acid derivatives were synthesised in high yield and in short reaction times using the Ullmann condensation of 2-chlorobenzoic acid with phenol derivatives under microwave irradiation in dry media.
