Eco-Friendly Multi-Component Synthesis of γ-Spiroiminolactones in Water
Abstract:
γ-Spiroiminolactone derivatives can be synthesized through an one-pot three-component reaction of cyclic carbonyl compounds (isatin, acenaphthoquinone, ninhydrin), activated α-methylene carbonyl groups and isocyanides in water using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a commercially available and cheap surfactant compound. All products were obtained in good to excellent yields without formation of any by-products in water as a green and benign reaction medium. Moreover, presented method was successfully applied for the synthesis of some novel bis(spiroiminolactone) derivatives.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
Lagging Strand Synthesis
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...
