Starting from acid chlorides, alkynes, tryptamines, and acryloyl chloride, 21 densely substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines were prepared in a four-component, one-pot reaction. In this study, the aza-Michael addition step to generate intermediate enaminones was optimized in the pre...
Formaldehyde is a simple chemical compound that is used as a building block in obtaining a wide range of products. The versatility of formaldehyde in chemical synthesis becomes evident when it is reacted with N-alkylethylenediamines. Therefore, this paper reports the structure an...

The activation of C-H bonds is a potent tool for modifying molecular structures in chemistry. This article details the steps involved in a novel ligand bearing a bicyclic [3.3.1]-nonane framework and bissulfoxide moiety. A palladium catalyzed allylic C-H oxidation method enables...
Great efforts of the scientific community are focused on the development of catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to useful molecules such as carbon monoxide, formic acid, methanol, ethanol, methane, ethylene, or acetate. Various metal porphyrin complexes were synth...
This article presents results on the use of a new material as a solidifying agent and/or color-fixing agent. A special polysaccharide material extracted from the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) was tested on historical materials and modern papers. An old book from the...

In this report, the catalytic potential of chalcogen-stabilized iron carbonyl clusters [Fe3E2(CO)9 (E = S, Se, Te)] for the photolytic hydration of alkynes has been explored. The iron chalcogenide clusters bring excellent transformations of terminal and internal alkynes to their...
Organic molecules are gaining special attention over the last years in the corrosion area thanks to their general low achievable cytotoxicity, structural versatility, and environmentally friendly obtainment methods. Under those approaches, synthetic organic motifs have attracted...
Molecules with tuneable properties are well known for their applications in the material and bio-medical fields; nevertheless, the structural and functional tunability makes them more significant in diverse applications. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel class of star-s...
(E)-1-aryl-2,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)but-1-en-3-ynes readily undergo protodesilylation and subsequent aerobic, copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling with aryl halides to form (E)-1,4-diaryl-2-(trimethylsilyl)but-1-en-3-ynes. The proposed one-pot, two-step approach allows access to...
