Debus-Radziszewski Imidazole Synthesis: This reaction is named after Heinrich Debus & Bronislaw leonard Radziszewski. It is an organic multicomponent reaction used for the synthesis of imidazole from carbonyl , an aldehyde and ammonia . The dicarbonyl component is commonly gloyoxal but can also include various 1 ,2- diketones & ketoaldehyde . Dicarbonyl Compound Aldehyde Amine Ammonia Imidazole
Mechanism: The reaction occur in two stages. In first stage , the dicarbonyl and ammonia condense to give an diimide.
2.Diimine condenses with aldehyde gives Imadazole. A modification of this general method where one equivalent of ammonia is replaced by an amine affords N-Substituted imidazoles in good yield. . Dimine aldehyde Imadazole Carbonyl comp. Aldehyde Ammonia1ryAmmine Imadazole
Application: It is the important precorsor for the synthesis of systemic antifungal agent . Imidazoles has been used extensively as corrosion inhibitor on transition metals such as copper. Imidazoles can also be used as organic structure directing agent to synthesize zeolites . Benzaldehyde 1,5-naphthalenediamine Zeolites
Knorr Pyrazole Synthesis: Th e Knorr pyrazole synthesis is an organic reaction used to convert a hydrazine or its derivatives and a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound to a pyrazole using an acid catalyst.
Mechanism:
Application: The important precursor for the drug tolmetin ( NSAID ) . It was also found in many drug such as atorvastatin , ketorolac & sunitinib . The reactions is utilized for the synthesis of metal chelate, photographic dyes, herbicides and biologically active compound. 4,4-Dimethoxy-2-butanone 1-n-butyl-3 &5-methylpyrazole.
Pinner Pyrimidine Synthesis: Introduction : Pyrimidine is in aromatic heterocyclic organic compound, six-membered heterocyclic ring with two nitrogen atom s at position 1 and 3.colourless solid, weakly basic with melting point of 225.the moiety is uses as antimalaria, antiviral, anticancer etc…. 3 Department Of Pharmaceutical Chemistry N N 1 2 3 4 5 6 IUPACName: 1,3-diazabenzene.

Pinner Pyrimidine reaction is a strong acid- promoted condensation between non-N- substituted amidine and β-keto ester ( β-diketone) to form a type of nitrogenous heterocyclic moiety called pyrimidine. This reaction involves cyclization reaction of amidines with β- diketone molecule in present of acid as catalyst forming pyrimidine.the most common pyrimidine synthesis involves the combination of a 1,3-dicarbonyl component with either urea or amidines/guanidine.
Mechanism: Protonation. Attack by amidine Proton transfer Dehydration Proton transfer Protonation Nucleophile attack/cyclization Dehydration Deprotonation
Application: Pyrimidine derivatives have been prepared via this reaction procedure amidines react with 1,3- dicarbonyl compound to form 2,4,6- trisubstituted pyrimidine.
Amidine react with β- keto ester to provide hydroxypyrimidine .
