An unprecedented imine allylation with pinacol gem-difluoroallylborates for the synthesis of a wide range of racemic gem-difluorohomoallylamine derivatives under catalyst-free conditions was enabled by a neighboring phenolic group in an N-protecting group.

Abstract: The mechanism of metal-catalyzed spiroketalization of propargyl acetonide is explored by employing DFT with the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) method. Acetonide is used as a regioselective regulator in the formation of monounsaturated spiroketal. The energies of transition states, intermediates, reactants and products are calculated to provide new insight into the mechanism of the reaction. The energetic features, validation of the observed trends in regioselectivity are conferred in terms of electronic indices via FMO analysis. The presence of acetonide facilitates a stepwise spiroketalization as it masks the competing nucleophile, and thus hydroxyl group present, exclusively acts as a nucleophile. The vinyl gold intermediate 3 is formed from 2 via activation barrier TS1. This is the first ring formation, which is 6-exo-dig cyclization. The intermediate 3 is converted into allenyl ether 4, which isomerizes to the intermediate oxocarbenium ion 5 via activation barrier TS2. The intermediate 5 cyclizes to 6 via TS3. This is the second ring formation. The intermediate 6 on protodeauration turns into 6,6-monounsaturated spiroketal 7. It is concluded that acetonide as a protecting group serves the purpose, and thus a wide range of spiroketals can be prepared, regioselectivity.

A versatile method to access differentially substituted 1,3- and 1,4-diamines via a nickel-catalyzed three-component 1,2-carboamination of alkenyl amines with aryl/alkenylboronic ester nucleophiles and N–O electrophiles is reported. The reaction proceeds efficiently with free primary and secondary amines without needing a directing auxiliary or protecting group, and is enabled by fine-tuning the leaving group on the N–O reagent. The transformation is highly regioselective and compatible with a wide range of coupling partners and alkenyl amine substrates, all performed at room temperature. A series of kinetic studies support a mechanism in which alkene coordination to the nickel catalyst is turnover-limiting.

A new multicomponent reaction has been developed between isocyanides, sulfur and alcohols or thiols under mild reaction conditions to afford O-thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates in moderate to good yields. The one-pot reaction cascade involves the formation of an isothiocyanate intermediate, thus a catalyst-free synthesis of isothiocyanates, as valuable building blocks from isocyanides and sulfur is proposed, as well. The synthetic procedure suits the demand of a modern organic chemist, as it tolerates a wide range of functional groups, it is atom economic and easily scalable.

A wide range of α-diazo-β-ketosulfones have been applied to thermally promoted tandem Wolff rearrangement – Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition with imines to give polysubstituted β-lactam sulfones. Dia­stereomerically pure syn-diastereomers were obtained in good yields and the relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These findings significantly expand the scope of this transformation, in contrast to substantial limitations reported previously. Moreover, this methodology enables flexible exploration of new substitution patterns around the privileged β-lactam core for drug design and optimization.

Abstract Small, strained rings have rigid, defined conformations and unique electronic properties. For these reasons, many groups seek to use these subunits to form biologically active molecules. We report a generally applicable approach to attach small rings to a wide range of aromatic compounds by palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl and azetidinyl esters. The direct α-arylation of cyclopropyl esters and cyclobutyl esters is achieved in high yield by ensuring that the rate of coupling exceeds the rate of Claisen condensation. The α-arylation of azetidines is achieved without ring opening of the strained saturated heterocycle by conducting the reactions with an azetidine derivative bearing a benzyl protecting group on nitrogen. Mechanistic studies show that the α-arylation of small rings is challenging because of the weak acidity of α C-H bond (cyclopropanes), strong sensitivity of the strained esters to Claisen condensation (cyclobutatanes), or facile decomposition of the enolates (azetidinyl esters).



Four or more pigm ents, viz. at least two blue, a brown and a m agenta, have been found in Pelagia noctiluca var. panopyra . One blue occurs in the lips, a similar one in the exumbrella, and another in the gonadial endoderm and the gastric filaments. The brown occurs in the ectoderm of the exumbrella, in the gonads and the m esogloea; the m agenta occurs in the mesogloea. The blues are intracellular, the m agenta extracellular, and th e brown both intracellular and extracellular. The pigm entary material occurs either as m inute free ellipsoids or spheroids, or in association w ith larger colourless bodies. The extracted pigm ents show absorption m axim a as follows: blue from the gonads and gastric filaments, 632·5, 590 and 560 m μ ; blue from the exumbrella, 545 to 550 m μ , and that from the lips, 537 to 547 m μ ; magenta, 490 to 498 m μ . Autolysis and hydrolysis of the blue gonadial and of the magenta pigment by alkali or by trypsin, shifts the absorption maxima toward the shorter wave-lengths. The magenta pigment was studied in detail, and its solubility, its behaviour towards denaturants and its incapacity to pass through a collodion membrane, suggest that it is a chromoprotein. The chromogen, precipitated from tryptic digests by alkali, showed an absorption maximum at 380 m μ ; it was insoluble in a wide range of solvents, and could be oxidized and reduced only by relatively drastic means. It reduced ammoniacal silver nitrate in the dark. It was shown to contain chlorine, but no sulphur or phosphorus; it contains organically combined nitrogen, but no protein or α-amino-acids. Various tests showed the presence of a substituted phenolic group, a pyrrole group, and the indole nucleus. It thus appears to be a melanoid. No evidence was obtained for the existence of an active tyrosinase.

A mild and efficient catalyst-free method for the rapid synthesis at room temperature of 3-thiomethylated oxindole derivatives has been achieved via the Michael addition of aryl thiols to ring and 1-substituted 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)oxindoles in dichloromethane. The method was applicable to a wide range of thiols and variously substituted 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)oxindoles under mild conditions as demonstrated by the synthesis in high yields with good diastereoselectivities of 30 3-thiomethylated oxindoles bearing a trifluoromethyl group.
