Odorless 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-3-oxobutanoic acid (1c) was prepared and investigated in the thioacetalization of carbonyl compounds as a 1,3-propanedithiol equivalent. The results showed that the thioacetalization of various carbonyl compounds 2 with 1c proceeded smoothly and afforded the corresponding dithioacetals 3 in high yields (up to 99%) in the presence of acetyl chloride at room or reflux temperatures. Moreover, the thioacetalization exhibited high chemoselectivity between aldehydes and ketones. Key words: chemoselectivity, 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-3-oxobutanoic acid, α-oxo ketene dithioacetal, 1,3-propanedithiol equivalent, thioacetalization.

A new and efficient method have been developed for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds from various aldehydes and ketones, using marine calcinated coral/NaNO3 and cuttlebone/NaNO3, as natural and efficient catalysts for cross aldol condensation. The aim of present study was to study the marine solids/NaNO3: as natural and efficient catalyst for Aldol condensation. The materials were purchased from Merck and Aldrich Companies. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer RXI infrared spectrometer. H NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz Brucker FT-NMR spectrometer. The SEM image was recorded on 1455 VP LEO-Germany. TLC accomplished the purity of substrates and reactions monitored on silica gel (Merck, Germany) Polygram SIGL/UV254 plates. The melting points are uncorrected. Results showed that, the marine solid are efficient catalysts for aldol condensation, but cuttlebone/NaNO3 catalyze this reaction in shorter time (1 hr) than calcinated coral/NaNO3 (6 hr). However, these marine solids have several advantages such as small amount of the catalyst, good absorbent natural solid, easy to handle, and products in good-to-high yields. In conclusion we found marine catalysts, Calcinated Cuttlebone/NaNO3 or Coral/NaNO3 to be an effective catalyst for aldol condensation from ketones having α-hydrogens and aldehydes in 50 % ethanol at reflux conditions. The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl products were obtained in good to high yields. This method offered marked improvement compared to previously reported ones.

Treatment (dry tetrahydrofuran, reflux) of the α,β-alkynic aldehydes 26–28 and ketones 29–36 with Me3SnSnMe3 in the presence of a catalytic amount of (Ph3P)4Pd provides fair to excellent yields of the corresponding (Z)-β-trimethylstannyl α,β-alkenic aldehydes 41–43 and ketones 44–51. The carbonyl compounds 41–51, upon reaction with methylenetriphenylphosphorane under suitable conditions, are smoothly converted into the (Z)-4-trimethylstannyl-1,3-butadienes 61–71, respectively. Treatment of the aldehyde 41 with the anion of trimethyl phosphonoacetate and the aldehyde 42 with the anion of the phosphonoacetate 73 produces excellent yields of the 5-trimethylstannyl-2,4-heptadienoates 72 and 74, respectively. The synthetic potential of (Z)-4-trimethylstannyl-1,3-butadienes is illustrated by the conversion of 62 into the functionalized, stereodefined conjugated dienes 76 and 78 and by transformation of 87 into the structurally novel diene 84. Diels–Alder reactions of 84 with tetracyanoethylene and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate provide the spiro[3.5]nonane derivatives 88 and 89, respectively. Key words: Diels–Alder cycloaddition, organocopper(I), transmetallation, alkylidenecyclobutane, (E)-4-lithio-1,3-butadienes, spiro[3.5]nonane.

Background: Hafnium(IV) tetrachloride efficiently catalyzes the protection of a variety of aldehydes and ketones, including benzophenone, acetophenone, and cyclohexanone, to the corresponding dimethyl acetals and 1,3-dioxolanes, under microwave heating. Substrates possessing acid-labile protecting groups (TBDPS and Boc) chemoselectively generated the corresponding acetal/ketal in excellent yields. Aim and Objective: In this study. the selective protection of aldehydes and ketones using a Hafnium(IV) chloride, which is a novel catalyst, under microwave heating was observed. Hence, it is imperative to find suitable conditions to promote the protection reaction in high yields and short reaction times. This study was undertaken not only to find a novel catalyst but also to perform the reaction with substrates bearing acid-labile protecting groups, and study the more challenging ketones as benzophenone. Materials and Methods: Using a microwave synthesis reactor Monowave 400 of Anton Paar, the protection reaction was performed on a raging temperature of 100°C ±1, a pressure of 2.9 bar, and an electric power of 50 W. More than 40 substrates have been screened and protected, not only the aldehydes were protected in high yields but also the more challenging ketones such as benzophenone were protected. All the products were purified by simple flash column chromatography, using silica gel and hexanes/ethyl acetate (90:10) as eluents. Finally, the protected substrates were characterized by NMR 1H, 13C and APCI-HRMS-QTOF. Results: Preliminary screening allowed us to find that 5 mol % of the catalyst is enough to furnish the protected aldehyde or ketone in up to 99% yield. Also it was found that substrates with a variety of substitutions on the aromatic ring (aldehyde or ketone), that include electron-withdrawing and electrondonating group, can be protected using this methodology in high yields. The more challenging cyclic ketones were also protected in up to 86% yield. It was found that trimethyl orthoformate is a very good additive to obtain the protected acetophenone. Finally, the protection of aldehydes with sensitive functional groups was performed. Indeed, it was found that substrates bearing acid labile groups such as Boc and TBDPS, chemoselectively generated the corresponding acetal/ketal compound while keeping the protective groups intact in up to 73% yield. Conclusion: Hafnium(IV) chloride as a catalyst provides a simple, highly efficient, and general chemoselective methodology for the protection of a variety of structurally diverse aldehydes and ketones. The major advantages offered by this method are: high yields, low catalyst loading, air-stability, and non-toxicity.

Abstract The direct anodic oxidation of non-phenolic lignin model compounds was investigated to understand their basic behaviors. The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies of monomeric model, such as 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol, are interpreted as the oxidation for Cα-carbonylation did not proceed in the reaction without a catalyst, but a base promotes this reaction. Indeed, the bulk electrolyses of the monomeric lignin model compounds with 2,6-lutidine afforded the corresponding Cα-carbonyl compounds in high yields (60–80%). It is suggested that deprotonation at Cα-H in the ECEC mechanism (E=electron transfer and C=chemical step) is important for Cα-carbonylation. In the uncatalyzed bulk electrolysis of a β-O-4 model dimeric compound, 4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, the corresponding Cα-carbonyl compound was not detected but as a result of Cα-Cβcleavage 4-O-ethylvanillin was found in 40% yield. In the electrolysis reaction in the presence of 2,6-lutidine (as a sterically hindered light base), the reaction stopped for a short time unexpectedly. These results indicate the different electrochemical behavior of simple monomeric model compounds and dimeric β-O-4 models. The conclusion is that direct electrooxidation is unsuitable for Cα-carbonylation of lignin.

Treatment of the purified 5′-aldehyde (2a) (derived from 6-N-benzoyl-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneadenosine (1a)) with methylenetriphenylphosphorane and successive deprotection with ammonia and acid gave 9-(5,6-dideoxy-β-D-ribo-hex-5-enofuranosyl)adenine (5′-deoxy-5′-methyleneadenosine) (4). Oxidation of 1a or 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneadenosine (1b) and treatment of the crude 5′-aldehydes (2a or 2b) with (p-toluenesulfonylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane gave high yields of the 5′-deoxy-5′-tosylmethylene derivatives (5a or 5b). Removal of the tosyl group from 5b to give 3b was effected with tributylstannyllithium, but sulfone cleavage by the usual reductive methods failed. Reduction and deprotection of 5a or 5b gave 9-[5,6-dideoxy-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-β-D-ribo-hexofuranosyl]adenine (6b). Isomerization of the vinyl tosyl (5b) to a 4′,5′-unsaturated allylic tosyl derivative (7) occurred under cleavage conditions and in solutions of aqueous or organic bases. Key words: adenosine, 5′-deoxyadenosine, 5′-methylene-5′-deoxyadenosine, nucleosides.

Phenyldimethylsilyllithium reacted with 5,5-dimethyl-3-(N,N-dimethylamino)cyclohex-2-enone (7), 3-(E)-N,N-dimethylaminopropenal (11), and 4-N,N-dimethylaminobut-3-en-2-one (13) to give the corresponding β-silyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 8, 12, and 14, in which the dimethylamino group has been displaced by the phenyldimethylsilyl group. Phenyldimethylsilyllithium reacted with ethyl β-N,N-dimethylaminopropenoate (15) by conjugate addition, but, in contrast to the ketones 7 and 13 and the aldehyde 11, the intermediate enolate 16 was C-protonated in the aqueous work-up to give ethyl 3-N,N-dimethylamino-3-dimethyl(phenyl)silylpropanoate (17). When the enolate 16 was instead given a mysteriously brief treatment with methyl iodide before work-up, the product was ethyl 3-(E)-dimethy(phenyl)silylpropenoate (18). Phenyllithium and methyllithium also added conjugatively to ethyl β-N,N-dimethylaminoacrylate (15) but, in contrast to the silyl case, the intermediate enolate 22 reacted unexceptionally with methyl iodide to give the products 25 and 26 of stereoselective C-methylation. This synthesis of the ester 18 was used to synthesize the Oppolzer sultam derivative 30.Key words: conjugate addition, elimination, substitution, silyllithium, silylenone.
