Oxa-aza-phenanthrene and anthracene derivatives which contain a bridgehead nitrogen are synthesized in an aqueous micellar system. The synthetic route is easy and yield is excellent. In this proposed method, solvent, base and surfactant are optimized and the best result was obtained by DBU in water with surfactant CTAB. This method is an efficient, viable and sequential one pot synthetic route for the construction of desired product.

Pentoses are converted to methyl lactate and related products in yields in the range of 53-55% using Sn-Beta at moderate conditions. The Sn-Beta catalyst shows little discrepancy towards different sugar isomers as it is capable of isomerising them at the reaction conditions. This allows for a simple way to convert a sugar mixture into a relatively well defined product composition that can be purified by distillation.
