We report herein the convenient procedures for the syntheses of different heterocyclic compounds from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde using intramolecular cyclization, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or bimolecular coupling reactions. The products were characterized by ¹H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The new heterocycles and their derivatives were evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase enzyme.
