Practical Synthesis of Thio-Cotarnine Analogues. Sulfur based tetrahydro-isoquinoline are rarely accessible in literature but its synthesis is attractive due to its importance in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. A very first example of thio-cotarnine derivatives under metal and base-free conditions has been reported here. It gives a general method for synthesizing sulfur derivatives of cotarnine. Thio-tetrahydroisoquinoline in gram scale was synthesized by greener protocol.

CuMoO4 nano catalyst for Csp2-O cross-couplings; Easy access to nitrofen derivatives We have developed a simple and direct method for the synthesis of diaryl ether under mild reaction condition using oxygen bridged Bimetallic CuMoO4 nano catalyst. The catalyst tolerated various functional groups with wide range of substrates. The catalyst is efficient and recyclable.
