Abstract

Due to a growing interest in aza-fused polyaromatic systems among various sciences, enormous attention has been continuously paid to designing and synthesizing novel chemotypes of N-fused hetero­cycles. During the course of continued efforts in this line, it was found that divergent access to new polycyclic N-fused heteroaromatics was enabled by the choice of reaction solvent. Described herein are solvent-controlled selective approaches to three novel N-fused azacycles, benzo-[d]imidazole-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine hybrids, under mild conditions. The plausible reaction mechanism for each class of compound is suggested as well.

Abstract

Organic solvents are known as carbon-based solvents and their general property is primarily based on their volatility, boiling point, the molecular weight and color. Having enormous hazards associated with the organic solvents, they are used for millions of purposes which alert us to think more on its toxicity points. Almost all of the solvents are hazardous to health, if swallowed or inhaled more than the limit quantity and on contact to the skin most of them cause irritation. Some of the common solvents are acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane, heptane, dichloromethane, methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, toluene, dimethylsulfoxide etc. Researchers, scientists, workers in the chemical industry and research institutes use these solvents on regular basis leading them to be affected in major aspects. But also, the nearby persons are affected by the contamination to the soil, water, air etc. If constantly exposed with solvents, it will badly affect the function of CNS and other body parts. The level of impact, sign and symptoms will depend on concentration, time, duration, frequency and nature of solvents, leading to common effects like headache, dizziness, tiredness, blurred vision, behavioral changes, unconsciousness, and even(Zimmermann, Mayer et al. 1985) death. To overcome it, the green chemistry concept is growing rapidly, and the solvent selection guide is in practice in many big company and research institute.
