The title compounds 3(a–i) were synthesized in high yields by the mercury(II) mediated heterocyclization of 2-cyclohex-2′-enyl-N-alkylanilines 2(a–g), which in turn were obtained by the acid-catalyzed amino Claisen rearrangement of 3-N-alkylanilinocyclohexenes 1(a–g). Additional supporting evidence for the structure of product 3 was obtained from chemical transformations. Key words: 1-alkoxy tetrahydrocarbazole, mercury(II) mediated heterocyclization, amino Claisen rearrangement, 3-N-methylanilinocyclohexene.

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.

A method for efficient and mild synthesis of diarylmethylamine scaffold, via Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel–Crafts reaction of donor­–acceptor aziridines with N,N-dialkylanilines to afford a biologically important diarylmethylamine derivatives in high yields (up to 88%), is presented. This reaction is suitable for the synthesis of various diarylmethylamine derivatives and has a broad scope for electron-rich arenes, including dimethoxybenzene.

Rates of conversion of 1-(tri-n-butylstannyl)-2-phenylethyne to phenylethyne in H2O and D2O solutions of perchloric acid were found to be proportional to acid concentration, giving the hydronium ion rate constant [Formula: see text] and the isotope effect [Formula: see text]. The magnitude of this isotope effect suggests that the reaction occurs by rate-determining hydron transfer to the substrate, producing a vinyl carbocation; this carbocation then loses its tributylstannyl group, giving phenylacetylene as the only detectable aromatic product. The hydronium ion rate constant, when compared to the rates of protonation of phenylethyne and 1-(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenylethyne, gives a β-stannyl stabilizing effect of δΔG≠ = 6.6 kcal mol−1 and a differential β-stannyl/β-silyl effect of δΔG≠ = 3.2 kcal mol−1. These stabilizations are very much smaller than previously reported β-stannyl effects. Possible reasons for the difference are suggested. Key words: β-stannyl effect, β-silyl effect, carbocation stabilization, protodemetalation.

The condensation of aromatic aldehydes and barbituric acid catalyzed by SiO2·12WO3·24H2O in aqueous media at room temperature gave 5-arylidene barbituric acid in high yields with or without the use of ultrasound, providing a simple and efficient route to synthesis of these compounds.

Imidazolidin-2-one and 1,3-benzodiazepin-2-one scaffolds are structural motifs of many biologically active compounds. Herein, we report a highly regioselective acid-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization/intermolecular electrophilic substitution reaction sequence of (2,2-dialkoxyethyl)ureas. The reaction benefits from readily available starting materials, a simple workup procedure, moderate to high yields of target compounds, and provides a convenient entry to previously unknown 4-(het)arylimidazolidinones and 5-(het)arylbenzodiazepinones. The proposed mechanism of the reaction is also discussed.

A practical Lewis acid-catalyzed Meyer–Schuster rearrangement of fluoroalkylated propargylic alcohols, leading to a series of β-fluoroalkyl-α,β-enones, is developed. The methodology reported herein features moderate to high yields and high stereoselectivity in the synthesis of β-alkyl-β-fluoroalkyl-α,β-enones.

The fused 2-vinyl or 2-phenyl substituted cyclobutanones 4 undergo stereoselective ring openings by the action of alkoxide ions (t-BuO− or MeO−) to produce novel vicinally disubstituted cycloalkene derivatives 5 and 6 in moderate to high yields. The ring cleavage usually occurs with complete regioselectivity. The accessibility of γ,δ-unsaturated ester or acid derivatives makes this transformation a good supplementary method for the well-established Johnson–Claisen rearrangement.
