Synthesis of N-(4-carboxyphenyl) anthranilic acid

N-(4-carboxyphenyl) anthranilic acid (compound 31)

A mixture of 2-chlorobenzoic acid (1 mmol), 4-aminobenzoic acid (1 mmol), K2CO3 (2 mmol), Cu powder (0.009 mmol), and Cu2O (0.009 mmol) in 0.3 mL of 2-ethoxyethanol was refluxed at 130°C under inert...

Replicable (w/ Minor Modifications)

This paper was about first total synthesis of an indole alkaloid, Spirobacillene A and the key step of this approach was a Lewis acid catalyzed spirocyclization of an anisole derivative onto a tethered ynone.

I tried to replicate some of these reactions...

A nice approach to synthesis of doped RuO2 nanopowders

Ruthenium oxide is one of the most active electrocatalytic material for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and chlorine evolution reaction (CER). The attempts of improve its performance or to decrease the cost of the industrial electrodes resulted in many...

Synthesis useful for a laboratory course.

Solid state phosphors in the form of nanosized particles attract a lot of attention. This interest is of both fundamental and practical character. Ultrafine and homogeneous fluorescence particles can be used as biological labels and in the various lightning...

This is a paper authored by myself. SO, I should not be able to write a review on it. This may lead to fake reviews. Please correct this issue.

Good yields, but greener solvents recommended

Summary:

This paper reports 1-Naphthyl-2-cyanoacetamide used as a precursor for the synthesis of different novel heterocyclic moieties such as 5-Aminopyrazole, thiazolinone, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one and pyrazolo[3,4-d...

Good study - need to find methods for iodinated-molecules

Summary:

This research article reports a study on the thermocehemical behaviour of halogen-containing molecules in atmospheric chemical processes. The thermodynamic and thermochemical model of these components helps in understanding the interactions in...

Innovative approach - Lower yields

Summary:

This paper reports the synthesis of a new class of acrylamide thioglycoside derivatives utilizing a one-pot synthesis. Further heating of the resultant glycosides with hydrazine is reported to give pyrazole derivatives. Among those synthesized,...

Neat but a bit complicated synthesis

Yttrium oxysulfide – Y₂O₂S is knows an excellent host material for the Eu(III) activated red emission phosphor, which has been used for decades in the CRT displays and conventional TV due to its excellent brightness, color purity, life time and compatibility...

Good synthesis but experimental lacking some useful details

The preparation of tetramethylguanidium azide was successfully carried out following the literature preparation (JOC 31, 1426 (1966)).  Hydrazoic acid was prepared as a Et2O solution by adding conc HCl over 30 minutes to a ice cold solution of NaN3 in...

Best method to make various 2-phenylpyridine derivatives

Review :-

1) Synthesized all compounds from Table 1 (1-8) and Table 2 (1-13). I was able to achieve higher yields than the ones reported in this paper by doubling the catalyst concentration.

2) I used excess i.e 3 mol % Palladium acetate than the...

Very well reproducible but greener solvents need to be used

Summary:

This paper reports the reactivity of the methylene group of 1-naphthyl-2-cyanoacetamide 1 which was tested towards different reagents. These new compounds have been reported to be characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹HNMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass...

Feasible and efficient process. Easily reproducible.
