Abstract
Furo(thieno)[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8-ones 1a,b and furo(thieno)[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thiones 7a,b have been synthesized and their alkylation with a series of alkyl halides (MeI, EtI, PrI, i-PrI, BuI and BnCl) was carried out to gain information on their lactam-lactim or thiolactam-thiolactim tautomerism and then on their different nucleophilicity. The structure of the obtained compounds has been unambiguously confirmed by using a wide spectrum of physico-chemical methods as well as by an alternative synthesis in some instances. Compounds 1a,b could be able to behave as ambident nucleophiles, in contrast compounds 7a,b were able to behave ‘only’ as nucleophiles at sulphur: the obtained results confirmed the well known nucleophilicity sequence: S >> N > O.
Keywords: Furo(thieno)[3, 2-d]pyrimidin-8-one, furo(thieno)[3, 2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione, lactam-lactim and thiolactam-thiolactim tautomerism, alkylation.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
