The research concerned with synthetic organic chemistry is progressing fast and simultaneously, activities within both industry and academy are becoming more globalized. Successful research requires interaction with several units around the world. We are facing an obvious need for new and fast types of communication within our scientific community. Sciforum.net electronic conferences provide a platform for fast exchange of the latest research findings, as well as a possibility for global meetings with no limitations related to traveling.

The 16th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC-16) will run from 1 - 30 November 2012. ECSOC-16 Proceedings will be published later online and as a CD-ROM edition. Posters presented at ECSOC-16 may be considered as preliminary communications of new research results or review papers and may be published in another form later in any standard journal. At the authors discretion, contributions will be removed from the web-site after the end of the conference and not included in the online and CD-ROM proceedings editions. Authors are invited to publish their papers subsequently in Molecules.

b-Carboline (BC) alkaloids represent a number of natural and synthetic compounds, which are associated with a vast spectrum of pharmacological properties.¹ The Pictet-Spengler condensation is commonly used to synthesize tetrahydro-b-carbolines (THC). Some groups² describe a sequence of Pictet-Spengler condensation followed by oxidation, without the isolation of the intermediate THC, to prepare the BC. Using the above sequence several BC were obtained in medium yields. The synthesis started from tryptophan (Trp), tryptophan methyl ester (TrpMe), and 2-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-propionic acid prop-2-ynyl ester and used 3,4-dimethoxy benzaldehyde (Dmb), or ethanal, followed by oxidation with KMnO₄. From Trp, and Dmb the decarboxylated BC was obtained. From TrpMe and Dmb, the methyl ester of a BC was formed. A similar sequence with ethanal, gave an ester that was hydrolysed to theacid, which reacted with a glucosylamine under peptide conditions giving the amide, in low yield. From Boc-Trp the alkynyl derivative was prepared and the Pictet-Spengler reaction with ethanal gave the BC alkynyl ester. This was used for the click reaction³with an azide, produced in situ from treatment of a-acetobromoglucose with sodium azide. The final compound was obtained as an oil in good yield.

sciforum-000098	Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Inhibitors for Tumor Anti-angiogenesis Activity Shriram Bairagi , Sachin Ladhha , Rajesh Lohiya , Jagdish Manwar Submitted: 14 Sep 2012 Abstract: Show Abstract	Shriram Bairagi , Sachin Ladhha , Rajesh Lohiya , Jagdish Manwar	N/A	Show Abstract
The EGFR family plays an essential role in normal organ development by mediating morphogenesis and differentiation through effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion, and angiogenesis. Unlike normal cells that have tight regulatory mechanisms controlling EGFR pathways, tumor cells often have dysregulated EGFR signaling, allowing them to proliferate under adverse conditions, invade surrounding tissues, and increase angiogenesis. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a trans-membrane receptor tyrosine kinase that belongs to the Human epidermal receptor (HER) family of receptors. Receptor protein tyrosine kinases play a key role in signal transduction pathways that regulate cell division and differentiation. Among the growth factor receptor kinases that have been identified as being important in cancer is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase (also known as erb-B1 or HER-1) and the related human epidermal growth factor receptor HER-2 (also known as erbB-2). The quinazoline and other heterocyclic skeletonsare of great importance to chemists as well as biologists as it is available in a large variety of naturally occurring compounds. In this article we are emphasizing on various hetericycles such as Quinazoline, pyrrolotriazines etc. as promising anticancer agents. These hetocycles showed the anticancer activity through the inhibition of EGFR enzyme. Attempt will be taken to provide details information on the said topic in the benefit of medicinal chemist.

During the last decade, studies on the isolation, characterization and catalytic activity of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) received particular attention because of their specific catalytic applications compared to homogeneous catalysts. Schiff bases, which are an important class of ligands with extensive applications in different fields, showed excellent catalytic activity when grafted on CNTs.¹ Conjugated alkynyl ketones, best known as ynones, have received considerable synthetic interest due to their occurrence in a wide variety of bioactive molecules and natural products.² This class of compounds are synthesized through various reported methods.³ Some of the disadvantages of these protocols include high temperatures, long reaction times, use of air and moisture sensitive catalysts such as phosphorous containing catalysts, use of copper catalysts which are very much prone to form diyne side products, use of hazardous organic solvents, use of toxic carbon-monoxide gas and need of special instruments. In this work, we presented a solvent-, copper- and phosphorous-free cross-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with acyl halides catalyzed by Pd-Schiff base@MWCNTs in the presence of triethylamine as base. The catalyst was reusable and air-stable which showed high activity for this simple, mild and green reaction with good to excellent yields of the product. References: [1] M. Salavati-Niasari, M.

sciforum-000101	A Copper-, Phosphorous- and Solvent-free Coupling of Acyl Halides with Terminal Alkynes Catalyzed by Palladium-Cryptand-22 Complex under Aerobic Conditions Barahman Movassagh , Mozhgan Navidi Submitted: 17 Sep 2012 Abstract: Show Abstract	Barahman Movassagh , Mozhgan Navidi	N/A	Show Abstract
Ynones or α,β-acetylenic ketones are useful synthetic intermediates for the preparation of many biologically-active compounds and heterocyclic derivatives such as pyrroles, furanes, furanones, pyrazoles, and isoxazoles.¹ Different methodologies for the preparation of α,β-acetylenic ketones have been reported in which various metals have been employed as catalysts.² Unfortunately, there are several disadvantages that confine the utility of the given protocols. Namely, copper salts which are very much likely to form diynes have been used as a co-catalyst in many studies. Moreover, phosphorous containing ligands have made the reaction conditions harsher owing to the need of inert atmosphere such as argon and nitrogen. The use of hazardous organic solvents and high temperatures are also unfavorable. In this study, we have successfully demonstrated a solvent-, copper- and phosphorous-free cross-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with acyl halides catalyzed by Pd-Cryptand-22 as catalyst. This catalyst was simply prepared and showed air and moisture stability. The reaction was performed at room temperature and under aerial conditions using triethylamine as base. The simple, mild and green procedure, short reaction times and moderate to excellent yields make this method well-suited for ynone synthesis. References: [1] (a) Zora, M.; Kivrak, A.; Yazici, C. J.
