In addition, multi-substituted dihydrofuropyridine and dihydropyrrolopyridine derivatives from KOH-catalyzed reactions between N-propargylic b-enaminones and arylaldehydes or N-sulfonyl imines have been developed. 2)Synthesis of novel azaacenes and their phototransistor behaviors. Benzo[1,2-g:4,5-g']diquinoxalines were prepared and their phototransistor behaviors were measured. 3)Some pharmacophores were introduced in the heterocyclic scaffold in our group to generate novel compounds, which were screened in biological tests.
