AbstractThe deprotonation of 3-aryl-substituted alkyl propargyl ethers with n-butyllithium provides an ambident anion that reacts with carbonyl compounds to provide mixtures of γ-substituted products with alkoxyallene substructure and of α-substituted propargyl ethers. The ratio of the two product types strongly depends on the solvent: in diethyl ether the γ-substituted products predominate whereas the more polar tetrahydrofuran favors the α-adducts. The primary addition products undergo 5-endo-trig or 5-endo-dig cyclizations under various reaction conditions to afford isomeric furan derivatives. The highest selectivity in favor of α-substituted products was achieved by employing a MOM-protected propargyl ether. During the protonation step no evidence for a proton shift leading to an isomeric allenyl anion was found. A brief mechanistic discussion tries to rationalize the observed regio­selectivities.

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO) is easily chlorinated and gives a complex which efficiently converts aliphatic and aromatic oximes, phenylhydrazones and semicarbazones to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in water at 50°C in high yield. This reagent can also be used for conversion of thiols to their compounding disulfide under the same reaction conditions. DABCO is quantitatively recovered which can be rechlorinated and reused several times.

Abstract Owing to their inherent features like smaller size and higher surface area exposed to reactants, nanoparticles have gained enormous interest and are extensively used as magnetically recyclable catalysts for various organic reactions. Herein, we report highly hydrophilic, non-aggregated, and strongly positively charged (ζ potential: +45.7 mV) ultra-small cerium cations/complexes- stabilized maghemite nanoparticles in water as an efficient and reusable nanoscaled magnetically active catalyst for the nucleophilic addition reaction of various amines with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give corresponding β-amino derivatives under ultrasonic irradiation. The developed protocol provides several merits such as high product yields, mild reaction conditions, reusable catalyst and easy workup.

The first aim of the research was to synthesize a pure Upsalite, which is an amorphous form of MgCO3, by modifying a procedure described in the literature, so that it would be the precursor of a high-surface, amorphous magnesium oxide. The results indicate that within the studied reaction conditions, the type of alcohol used as the reactant has the most pronounced effect on the yield of reaction. From the two alcohols that led to the highest yield of Upsalite, methanol gave a substantially larger surface area (794 vs. 191 m2 g−1). The optimized synthesis conditions of Upsalite were used to obtain MgO via thermolysis, whose activity in the transfer hydrogenation reaction (THR) from ethanol, 2-propanol and 2-pentanol to various carbonyl compounds was determined. The optimal conditions for the thermolysis were as follows: vacuum, T = 673 K as the final temperature, and a heating rate of 2 deg min−1. The high-surface, amorphous magnesia (SBET = 488 m2 g−1) was found to be a very selective catalyst to 4-t-butylcyclohexanone in THR, which led to a diastereoselectivity of over 94% to the E-isomer of 4-t-butylcyclohexanol for more than 3 h, with conversions of up to 97% with either 2-propanol or 2-pentanol as the hydrogen donor. In the case of acrolein and 2-n-propylacrolein being used as the hydrogen acceptors, the unsaturated alcohol (UOL) was the main product of the reaction, with higher UOL yields noted for ethanol than 2-propanol.

Iodine-alumina was employed as a catalyst in the coupling reactions of aldehydes, enolizable ketones, or 1,3-dicarbonyls with methyl carbamate or aromatic amines under microwave irradiation to afford β-amino carbonyl compounds in good-to-excellent yields. The key features of this environmentally friendly methodology are its operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and less reaction time.

1,1-Diacetates (acylals) and α-chloroalkyl esters were prepared from carbonyl compounds with acylating reagents in the presence of 5% mol hexaaqua zinc triflate [Zn(OTf)2.6H2O] with good yields under mild reaction conditions.
