AbstractDeuterium-labeling experiments were performed for the Fe(PMe3)4-catalyzed C–H/olefin coupling using a deuterium-labeled aromatic ketone with various alkenes. While the reactions with a variety of alkenes provided the linear alkylation products formed via 1,2-insertion of alkene into an Fe–H bond, the reversible 2,1-insertion proceeded during the reaction highly depends on the choice of the alkene. No H/D scrambling resulting from 2,1-insertion/β-elimination was detected for the reactions with a vinylsilane and N-vinylcarbazole, but the reactions­ with styrenes are considered to involve rapid 2,1-insertion/ β-elimination processes to cause significant levels of H/D scrambling.

The Friedlander reaction is the most commonly used method to synthesis substituted quinolines, the essential intermediates in the medicine industry. A facile one-pot approach for synthesizing substituted quinolines by the reaction of isoxazoles, ammonium formate-Pd/C, concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and ketones using Friedlander reaction conditions is reported. Procedures for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives were optimized, and the yield was up to 90.4%. The yield of aromatic ketones bearing electron-withdrawing groups was better than the ones with electron-donating substituents. The structures of eight substituted quinolines were characterized by MS, IR, H-NMR and 13CNMR, which were in agreement with the expected structures. The mechanism for the conversion was proposed, which involved the Pd/C catalytic hydrogen transfer reduction of unsaturated five-membered ring of isoxazole to produce ortho-amino aromatic ketones. Then the nucleophilic addition of with carbonyl of the ketones generated Schiff base in situ, which underwent an intermolecular aldol reaction followed by the elimination of H2O to give production of substituted quinolines. This new strategy can be readily applied for the construction of quinolines utilizing a diverse range of ketones and avoids the post-reaction separation of the o-amino aromatic ketone compounds. The conventionally used o-amino aromatic ketone compounds in Friedlander reaction to prepare substituted quinoline are laborious to synthesize and are apt to self-polymerize. While oxazole adopted in this work can be prepared at ease by the condensation of benzoacetonitrile and nitrobenzene derivatives under the catalysis of a strong base. Moreover, the key features of this protocol are readily available starting materials, excellent functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and feasibility for scaling up.

A procedure was developed for the annelation of a butenolide to an aromatic ketone that highlighted a manganese(III) oxidation of an aromatic ketone. The merit of this procedure was illustrated in a synthesis of Chromolaenin (Laevigatin) (1) from 4,7-dimethyl-1-tetralone (2c). Oxidation of tetralone and indanone with manganese(III) acetate in the presence of chloro- or bromopropionic acid or their Mn(II) salts furnished a α-haloesters 3a-d. An Arbuzov reaction of haloesters with triethylphosphite and an intramolecular Horner-Watsworth-Emmons cyclization of the resulting phosphonate gave butenolide 5a, b in 77-79% yield. This methodology was also applied to 4,7-dimethyl-1-tetralone (2c), and the corresponding butenolide 6 is synthesized in 85% yield, which was then converted to Chromolaenin (1) using DIBAL-H.Key words: chromolaenin (Laevigatin), manganese(III) acetate oxidation, aromatic ketones, butenolide annelation, lactone, Horner-Watsworth-Emmons cyclization, Arbuzov reaction.

Various arylethanones including electron-rich aromatic ketones such as o-hydroxyacetophenone and its p-isomer underwent selective side-chain α,α-dibromination using a heterogeneous system consisting of four molar equivalents of copper(II) bromide in chloroform-ethyl acetate under reflux. This study provides the cleanest method for the selective synthesis of several synthetically useful α,α-dibromoketones which are otherwise difficult to prepare.

The synthesis of novel l-prolinal dithioacetal and its application as an organocatalyst for the direct Michael addition of cyclic ketones and acetophenone derivatives to trans-β-nitrostyrene and related compounds is described. The prolinal dithioacetal acts as effective catalyst in the case of cyclic ketones of different ring size, in particular five- and six-membered examples, as well as larger and smaller ring systems. High enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity is observed for different substrates and trans-β-nitrostyrenes. Also, the first asymmetric syntheses of selected 2-methyl-4-nitro-1,3-diphenylbutan-1-one derivatives by application of the obtained organocatalyst is presented.

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate is readily synthesized from 2-trimethylsilylethanol in high yield. This imidate is an effective reagent for the formation of 2-trimethylsilylethyl esters without the need for an exogenous promoter or catalyst, as the carboxylic acid substrate is acidic enough to promote ester formation without an additive. A deuterium labeling study indicated that a β-silyl carbocation intermediate is involved in the transformation.
