Bi-, tri-and tetrapodal polyhydroquinolines and 1,4-dihydropyridines were synthesised by the reaction of various alkylating agents with polyhydroquinolines and 1,4-dihydropyridines under sonication conditions.These were in turn converted to the corresponding pyridines also using sonication. Sonication produced higher yields in a faster reaction time. All the synthesized compounds were characterized using spectral data.

A highly stereoselective and convergent total synthesis of PF1163 A is described while proving the versatility of Prins cyclization in natural product synthesis. The Prins cyclization, Yamaguchi esterification, and ring-closing metathesis reactions are the key steps utilized in the synthesis of macrolactone.

In the title compound, C28H22ClFN6O2, the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation and the least-squares plane through the four coplanar atoms forms dihedral angles of 69.37 (13) and 56.56 (12)°, respectively, with the pyrazole and cyano­phenyl rings. The dihedral angles formed between the pyrazole and the attached fluoro- and chloro­phenyl rings are 34.16 (10) and 73.27 (12)°, respectively. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O, C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into sheets parallel to the ac plane.

In the title compound, C17H15FN2O2, the essentially planar pyrazole ring [maximum deviation = 0.026 (1) Å] makes dihedral angles of 72.06 (7) and 33.05 (7)°, with the phenyl and fluoro­benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two six-membered rings is 87.88 (7)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into layers lying parallel to the bc plane.
