An efficient procedure for the synthesis of 6,7-dichloro-5,8-phthalazinedione (4) was developed in 49% overall yield via chloroxidation of 5,8-diaminophthalazine (8). And a series of its derivatives, 7-pyridinium-5,8-phthalazinedione-6-oxide (9), 6-chloro-7-phenylamino-5,8-phthalazinedione (10), 6,6-dimethoxy-6H-2,3,6b,11-tetraazabenzo[a]fluoren-5-one (11a), and 6,6-diethoxy-6H-2,3,6b,11-tetraazabenzo[a]fluoren-5-one (11b) have been synthesized.

An efficient synthetic route of novel 2′(${\alpha}$)-C-fluoro-2′(${\beta}$)-C-methyl carbocyclic nucleoside analogues is described. The key fluorinated intermediate 7 was prepared from the epoxide intermediate 5 via selective ring-opening of epoxide. Coupling of 7 with nucleosidic bases under the Mitsunobu reactions followed by deprotection afforded the target carbocyclic nucleoside analogues. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Huh-7 cell line in vitro.

A facile and efficient synthetic route has been developed for the polyhydroquinoline via four component reactions of aldehydes, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in the presence of catalytic amount of scolecite in ethanol at 70 ${^{\circ}C}$ through Hantzsch reaction. This method gives remarkable advantages such as simple work-up procedure, environmentally friendly, inexpensive, non-toxic and recyclable catalyst, shorter reaction time along with excellent yields.

The synthetic route to coumarin systems is well established and one approach of particular interest leads to the intermediate 7-diethylamino-3-formylcoumarin. A combination of the N,N-diethylamino-coumarin donor with a wide range of acceptor groups of varying electron withdrawing strength should permit the synthesis of a series of extended coumarin dyes with absorption maxima range from 500 to 600 nm, or even beyond. In this communication, a novel efficient synthesis of indoles, benzothiazole and benzoxazole based on coumarin chromophores were achieved and the coloristic and fluorophoric properties of these chromophores were studied.

This paper discusses the racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for novel 4'α -methyl and 6'α -methyl analogues of abacavir. The quaternary carbon at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was installed successfully via a Claisen rearrangement. The stereocontrolled construction of a methyl group in the 6'α - position was directed through the Felkin-Anh rule. A Bis-vinyl compound 9 was cyclized successfully using Grubbs' catalyst II to provide a carbocycle nucleus for the target compound. The synthesized compound 15 showed moderate anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 10.67 μM, MT-4 cell lines).

Adenosine 5'-phosphonates have been reported as potential chain terminators against Hepatitis C virus (HCV); therefore, we developed convenient sequences for synthesis of modified adenosine 5'-phosphonates in which the hydroxyl group at 2' or 3'-position of the sugar moiety is substituted with the azido or amino group and the oxymethyl group at the 4'-position is modified by the ethylene or vinyl group. This synthetic sequence can provide six adenosine 5'-phosphonates via one protocol, and is considered to be very efficient and a convenient route of synthesis. An assay of adenosine 5'-phosphonate analogues (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) against HCV infection is now in progress.

An efficient synthetic route for carbocyclic versions of stavudine analogues and their evaluation on antiviral activity are described. The construction of an ethynylated quaternary carbon at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleosides was accomplished using Claisen rearrangement of 11 and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of dienyne 14 as key transformations. An antiviral evaluation of the synthesized compounds, 20, 21, 22, and 25 against HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV showed that only the guanine analogue 25 is moderately active against HIV-1 in the MT-4 cell line ($EC_{50}$ = 11.91 $\mu$mol).

A convenient synthetic route has been developed to synthesize 5-(4-((2-phenylthiazol-4-yl) methoxy)phenyl)-3-(4-sustituted phenyl)pyrazolines (5a-f) and 5-(4-((2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-3-(4-substituted phenyl)isoxazolines (6a-f) starting from 2-phenyl-4-chloromethylthiazole (1). The chloromethylthiazole (1) was first condensed with 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde (2) for obtaining 4-((2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (3). Claisen-Smidth condensation of 4-((2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (3) and acetophenones has been carried in alkaline alcohol and obtained 3-(4-((2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-1-(4-substituted phenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones (4a-f). The cyclocondensation of 2-propen-1-ones has been first time carried separately with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous micellar tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) medium for getting the titled heterocycles with good to excellent yields.

Efficient synthetic route to novel 4'-fluorinated 5'-deoxythreosyl phosphonic acid nucleosides was described from glyceraldehyde using Horner-Emmons reaction in the presence of triethyl ${\alpha}$-fluorophosphonoacetate. Glycosylation reaction of nucleosidic bases with glycosly donor 14 gave the nucleosides which were further phosphonated and hydrolyzed to reach desired nucleoside analogues. Synthesized nucleoside analogues 18, 21, 25 and 28 were tested for anti-HIV activity as well as cytotoxicity. Adenine derivatives 18 and 21 showed significant anti-HIV activity up to $100{\mu}M$.

trans-Metanicotine, a subtype (${\alpha}_4{\beta}_2$)-selective ligand for neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, is under clinical phase for Alzheimer's disease. An efficient synthetic route for ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-4-pyridin-3-yl-but-3-enyl)-am ices, derivatives of tracts-metanicotine, was explored. Allylation reaction of aryl aldimines with allylmagnesium bromide in THF gave ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-but-3-enyl)-amines. Protection of the amines with the Boc group and following Heck reaction of the N-Boc amines with 3-bromopyridine gave ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-4-pyridin-3-yl-but-3-enyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl esters. Deprotection of the N-Boc group in aqueous 1 N-HCI solution gave the titled amines in good yields. Thus, trans-metanicotine analogues modified at the ${\alpha}-position$ of the methylamino group with amyl groups were obtained in 5 steps.
