A large number of nitrogen heterocycles structurally related to caffeine and theophylline have been tested for activity as adenosine antagonists. Preliminary screening, utilizing displacement of [3H]N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) binding to rat brain membranes, identified several pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines with potential antagonist activity. These

The cascade oxidative annulation reactions of benzoylacetonitrile with internal alkynes proceed efficiently in the presence of a rhodium catalyst and a copper oxidant to give substituted naphtho[1,8-bc]pyrans by sequential cleavage of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H/O-H bonds. These cascade reactions are highly
