A conceptually new one-step reaction affording unexpected aryl olefinic product from aromatic aldehyde, aliphatic aldehyde and malononitrile in the presence of acetic acid-ammonium acetate under mild reaction conditions without using any metal catalyst is reported. This novel reaction was used to prepare a number of substituted aryl olefins including new molecules. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles by a three-component reaction of allyl or benzyl halides, sodium azide, and terminal alkynes over a neutral alumina-supported copper iodide catalyst has been developed. The products were isolated by simple filtration followed by washing of the catalyst with acetone. The products were obtained in almost pure form in up to 98\% yield (TON 495). The catalyst can be recycled for more than eight subsequent reactions. The halides are directly converted into triazoles via in situ formation of azides and thus handling of hazardous azides can be avoided. The broad scope of this protocol is shown by the synthesis of a variety of diversely substituted 1,2,3-triazoles and also two-component azide-alkyne click reaction. The key features of this procedure are the use of water as a solvent, recyclability of the catalyst up to eight runs without appreciable loss of activity, and high yields of products. The catalyst has been fully characterized by FTIR, solid-state NMR and EDX spectroscopy, ESEM, TGA, and XRD.

Synthesis and gelation properties of a series of novel bile acid hydrazides are presented. These compounds are found to undergo self-assembly leading to organogelation in certain organic solvents. Compound 1 was found to be the most {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}effective{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} gelator in this series. The properties of this gel have been thoroughly investigated by conventional methods typical for molecular gel studies. Sol gel transition temperature (T-g) of chloroform gels of compounds 1 and 3 was found to increase with increase in the chain length. Sol-gel transition was probed using the isothermal time test and results show that there is instantaneous increase in both the moduli after shear melting, which suggests that the kinetics of formation of the network was very fast. IR and NMR studies revealed hydrogen bonding between amidic carbonyl in the side chain and hydroxyl groups of cholic acid.
