efficient synthesis of biologically active (E)-2-cyanoacrylamides and 3-substituted azetidine-2,4-diones has been reported with 64–94% yields under metal-free conditions. The reaction proceeds through sequential Knoevenagel condensation/stereoselective in situ monohydration of nitrile or C–N cyclization protocol in one-pot. The attractive features of this tandem process are moderate reaction conditions

The 3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylamide scaffold was designed as core pharmacophore for inhibitors of the Dengue and West Nile virus serine proteases (NS2B-NS3). A total of 86 analogs was prepared to study the structure-activity relationships in detail. Thereby, it turned out that the electron density of the aryl moiety and the central double bond have a crucial influence on the activity of the compounds, whereas the influence of substituents of the amide residue is less relevant. The para-hydroxy substituted analog was found to be the most potent inhibitor in this series with a K(i)-value of 35.7 mu M at the Dengue and 44.6 mu M at the West Nile virus protease. The aprotinin competition assay demonstrates a direct interaction of the inhibitor molecule with active centre of the Dengue virus protease. The target selectivity was studied in a counterscreen with thrombin and found to be 2.8:1 in favor of DEN protease and 2.3:1 in favor of WNV protease, respectively. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

An efficient catalyst-free one-pot synthesis of primary amides from the aldehydes of the Baylis–Hillman reaction
Herein, a facile and efficient method for the preparation of allyl amides from the aldehyde of Baylis–Hillman adducts has been developed using a hydroxylamine/methanol system under a catalyst-free condition. The effects of solvents and temperature on the reaction and substituents on the phenyl ring have been examined. This method is best demonstrated by its advantages such as operational simplicity
