Competitive thermal ene reaction and Diels-Alder reactions of 2-[N-(alk-2-enyl)benzylamino]-3-vinylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones

Thermal reaction of 2-[N-(alk-2-enyl)benzylamino]-3-(2-substituted and 2,2-disubstituted)vinylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones gave azepine, the desired ene products, and/or pyran derivatives. The formation of the latter was responsible for the [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between the α,β-unsaturated ester carbonyl moiety as a diene part and the alkenylamino moiety as an ene one. The reaction features depended upon the kinds of substituents both on the vinyl and alkenyl counterparts; strongly electron-withdrawing substituents on the vinyl moiety or an electron-donating substituent on the alkenyl one changed the reaction feature from the ene reaction to the hetero Diels-Alder reaction.     

Palladium bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate) catalyzed Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira, and cyanation reactions

Palladium bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate): a structurally well-defined O-containing transition metal complex is reported as an efficient catalyst for Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The protocol was also applied successfully for cyanation of aryl halides under milder operating conditions. The system tolerated the coupling of various aryl halides with alkenes, alkynes, and organoboronic acid along with the cyanation of aryl halides providing good to excellent yields of desired products.

Acid‐Acid‐Catalyzed Tandem Reactions Driven by an Additive‐Like Component

Acid‐catalyzed tandem reactions with auto‐tandem catalysis are effective for simplifying organic synthesis. However, some of the reported reactions were established based on the use of well‐designed substrate with complex structure. In some cases, owing to the existence of a big gap between each catalytic cycle, it is hard to bind all the individual reaction steps to be a peaceful sequence. To enrich the diversity and also to strengthen the practical usefulness of the methodology developed by auto‐tandem catalysis, an additive‐like component was added to induce acid‐acid‐catalyzed tandem reaction. During the reaction, the additive‐like component acted either as an activator to increase the reactivity of the starting material or a hided reagent to enable successful transformation of the intermediate. Many novel tandem reactions were established in a one‐pot manner with the aid of this strategy. Importantly, this strategy not only allows the use of simple and commercially available chemicals as substrates, but also possesses multiple merits, such as simplifying operation, lowering waste generation and enhancing synthetic efficiency and atom‐economy. A summarization of the additive‐like component‐induced auto‐tandem catalysis with an acid catalyst was given in this review, in which many acid‐acid‐catalyzed tandem reactions were discussed. The reported additive‐like components were classified as three types: oxidative type, reductive type and neutral type depending on their mechanisms in assisting the establishment of acid‐acid‐catalyzed tandem reactions. Many examples were collected and analyzed from the viewpoints of simplifying the synthesis and manifesting their superior and distinct functionalities of the additives. A perspective of this concept was also given at the end of this review.

Preparation of α- or β-trifluoromethylated vinylstannanes and their cross-coupling reactions

α- or β-Trifluoromethylated vinylstannanes 1, 2a, 3 and 4 were prepared form 1,1-bis(phenylthio)-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylbenzene (5) via several steps. The cross-coupling arylation reactions of 1–4 with aryl iodides bearing a bromo, methoxy, methyl, nitro or trifluoromethyl group on para- or meta-position of benzene ring afforded the corresponding coupling products in good yields. Compounds 1, 2a and 4 underwent the acylation reaction with various types of acyl chlorides to give the corresponding trifluoromethylated enone derivatives in good yields. Reduction of trifluoromethylated enone derivatives with LiAlH₄, followed by Fridel-Craft’s type of cyclization with AlCl₃ provided trifluoromethylated indene derivatives in good yields.     

One-pot and regioselective synthesis of polysubstituted 3,4-dihydroquinazolines and 4,5-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-ones by sequential Ugi/Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction

An efficient one-pot and regioselective synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinazolines and 4,5-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-ones by Ugi/Staudinger/aza-Wittig sequence has been developed. The Ugi reactions of 2-azidobenzylamines, aldehydes, acids (or α-keto acids) and isocyanides produced the azide intermediates, which were then treated with tributylphosphine or triphenylphosphine to give polysubstituted 3,4-dihydroquinazolines or 4,5-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-ones in moderate to good yields by tandem Standinger/aza-Wittig reactions.     

Machine learning modelling of chemical reaction characteristics: yesterday,today, tomorrow

The synthesis of the desired chemical compound is the main task of synthetic organic chemistry. The predictions of reaction conditions and some important quantitative characteristics of chemical reactions as yield and reaction rate can substantially help in the development of optimal synthetic routes and assessment of synthesis cost. Theoretical assessment of these parameters can be performed with the help of modern machine-learning approaches, which use available experimental data to develop predictive models called quantitative or qualitative structure–reactivity relationship (QSRR) modelling. In the article, we review the state-of-the-art in the QSRR area and give our opinion on emerging trends in this field.

Mono-Gold(I)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Intermolecular Reaction of Ynones with Styrenes: Tandem Diels–Alder and Ene Sequence

Gold-catalyzed intermolecular reaction leading to dihydronaphthalene derivatives in one pot from two equivalents of ynones with respect to styrene is uncovered. The [4+2] Diels–Alder cycloaddition of ynones and styrenes is catalyzed by a mono-gold(I) complex and the conjugated acid to provide an unstable 3,8a-dihydronaphthalene to subsequently undergo an intermolecular ene-type reaction with the π-activated ynone to afford multi-component coupling dihydronaphthalene products. Linear relationships between chiral ligand-gold complexes and chiral dihydronaphthalene products proves mono-gold catalysis that triggers an asymmetric tandem Diels–Alder and ene reaction sequence.
