Synthesis of dimethyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-4-(3-oxo-2-triphenyl-phosphoranylidenbutanylidene)-pent-2-enedioate and its cyclization

The title compounds 5a-5c were prepared via the reaction of methyl 2-perfluoroal-kynoates (4) with methyl 5-oxo-4-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)hex-2-enoate (3), which was obtained from the reaction of methyl propynate (2) with acetylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (1) at -5-0℃. Intramolecular elimination of Ph3PO took place when compound 5 was heated in aqueous methanol at 115-120℃ in sealed tube, yielding dimethyl 2-trifluoromethyl-4-methylisophthalate (6a) from 5a and methyl 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-heptafluoropropanylbenzoate (6b) from 5b, respectively. The structures of compounds 5, 6a and 6b were confirmed by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 19F NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Rection mechanisms for the formation of compounds 5, 6a and 6b were proposed.

Catalytic Systems Containing p-Toluenesulfonic Acid for the Coupling Reaction of Formaldehyde and Methyl Formate

The coupling reaction of formaldehyde(FA)and methyl formate(MF)to form methyl glycolate(MG)and methyl methoxy acetate(MMAc),catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid(p-TsOH)as well as assisted by different kinds of solvents or Ni-containing compounds,had been investigated.The results showed that when the reaction was carried out at 140℃,with a molar ratio of FA to MF of 0.65:1, molar fraction of p-TsOH to total feedstock of 11.0%,and reaction time of 3 h,the yield of MG and MMAc was 31.1% and 17.1%,respectively,p-TsOH catalyzed the coupling reaction by means of the synergistic catalysis of protonic acidity and soft basicity.Adding extra solvents to the reaction system was unfavorable for the reaction.The composite catalytic system consisting of p-TsOH and NiX_2(X=Cl,Br,I)exhibited a high catalytic performance for the coupling reaction,and NiX_2 acted as a promoter in the reaction,whose promotion for the catalysis increased in the following order:NiCl_2相似文献   

Synthesis of Some New Heterocycles Derived from Phenylacetyl Isothiocyanate

Phenylacetyl isothiocyanate (1) was reacted with benzoyl hydrazine (2a) in acetonitrile to give thiosemicarbazide derivative 3 which was cyclized by polyphosphoric acid to give 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 4. Treatment of 1 with thiosemicarbazide (2b) yielded another 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 5. Similar treatment of 1 with phenyl hydrazine (2c) in acetonitrile gave a differently substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 6 in one pot-reaction. On the other hand, when the reaction was carried out in acetone, a mixture of 6 and thiadiazolidine derivative 7 was obtained. However, reaction of 1 with hydrazine hydrate (2d) gave hydrazine derivative 8. Reaction of isothiocyanate 1 with anthranilic acid (9) gave benzo[d][1,3,6]oxazin-1-one derivative 10. Treatment of 1 with 2-aminothiophenol (11a), 2-aminophenol (11b) or o-phenylenediamine (11c) produced benzothiazole derivative 12a, benzoxazole derivative 12b and benzimidazole derivative 12c, respectively. The structures of all the products were confirmed by micro-analytical and spectral data.

A Novel Non-phosgene Process for the Synthesis of Methyl N-Phenyl Carbamate from Methanol and Phenylurea： Effect of Solvent and Catalyst

A novel environmentally benign process for the synthesis of methyl N-phenyl carbamate (MPC) from methanol and phenylurea was studied. Effect of solvent and catalyst on the reaction behavior was investigated. The IR spectra of methanol and phenylurea dissolved in different solvents were also recorded. Compared with use of methanol as both a reactant and a solvent, phenylurea conversion and selectivity to MPC increased by using toluene, benzene or anisole as a solvent, while phenylurea conversion decreased slightly by using n-octane as a solvent. The phenylurea conversion declined nearly 50% when dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a reaction media, and MPC selectivity decreased as well. The catalytic reaction tests showed that a basic catalyst enhanced the selectivity to MPC while an acidic catalyst promoted the formation of methyl carbamate and aniline. Moderate degree of basicity showed the best catalytic performance in the cases studied.     

A facile electrochemical synthesis of caffeic acid derivatives in the presence of acetylacetone or methyl acetoacetate in aqueous medium

Total synthesis of plakortide E and biomimetic synthesis of plakortone B

The total synthesis of plakortide E (1a) is reported. A novel palladium-catalyzed approach towards 1,2-dioxolanes as well as an alternative substrate-controlled route leading exclusively to cis-highly substituted 1,2-dioxolanes have been developed. A lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution was employed to provide optically pure 1,2-dioxolane central cores. Coupling of the central cores and side chains was achieved by a modified Negishi reaction. All four isomeric structures of plakortide E methyl ester, namely, 26a-d were synthesized. One of the structures, 26d, was shown to be identical with the natural plakortide E methyl ester on the basis of (1)H, (13)C NMR spectra and specific rotation comparisons. With the plakortide E methyl ester (4S,6R,10R)-(-)-cis-26d and its other three isomers in hand, we successfully converted them into (3S,4S,6R,10R)-plakortone B (2a), and its isomers ent-2a, 2b and ent-2b via an intramolecular oxa-Michael addition/lactonization cascade reaction. Finally, saponification converted 1,2-dioxolane 26d into plakortide E (1a) whose absolute configuration (4S,6R,10R) was confirmed by comparison of spectral and physical data with those reported.

A Synthesis of (+)-Oblongolide

The absolute configuration of natural oblongolide is reassigned as (3aS,5aR,7S,9aS,9bS)-3a,5a,6,7,8,9,9a,9b-octahydro-7,9b-dimethylnaphtho[1,2-c]furan-1(3H)-one 2 by a 7-stage synthesis of its enantiomer 1 from (+)-citronellol involving a regioselective reduction and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (IMDA) as the key steps. (+)-Citronellol was converted into methyl (2E,4E,10E)-(S)-(+)-11-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-methyl-undeca-2,4,10-trienoate 7 by sequential Lemieux-Johnson oxidation, Wittig reaction, pyridinium chlorochromate oxidation, and Wadsworth-Emmons-Homer alkenation.
