Lewis Acid Promoted Dearomatization of Naphthols

Two-step dearomative functionalization of naphthols promoted by Lewis acids and copper(I) catalysis was developed. Initially, Lewis acid complexation inverted the electronic properties of the ring and established an equilibrium with the dearomatized counterpart. Subsequent trapping of the dearomatized intermediate with organometallics as well as organophosphines was demonstrated and provided the corresponding dearomatized products.     

Catalytic Access to Chiral δ-Lactams via Nucleophilic Dearomatization of Pyridine Derivatives

Nitrogen-bearing rings are common features in the molecular structures of modern drugs, with chiral δ-lactams being an important subclass due to their known pharmacological properties. Catalytic dearomatization of preactivated pyridinium ion derivatives emerged as a powerful method for the rapid construction of chiral N-heterocycles. However, direct catalytic dearomatization of simple pyridine derivatives are scarce and methodologies yielding chiral δ-lactams are yet to be developed. Herein, we describe an enantioselective C4-dearomatization of methoxypyridine derivatives for the preparation of functionalised enantioenriched δ-lactams using chiral copper catalysis. Experimental ¹³C kinetic isotope effects and density functional theory calculations shed light on the reaction mechanism and the origin of enantioselectivity.     

Synthesis of 3,4‐Dialkyl‐5‐(1‐oxo‐ethyl)‐3H‐thiazole‐2‐thiones Derivatives and Their Pesticidal Activity

By interaction of N‐methyl(ethyl)‐dithiocarbamate sodium salt with 3‐chloro‐pentane‐2,4‐dion the 1‐(3‐alkyl‐4‐methyl‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐thiazol‐5‐yl)‐ethanones 1 , 2 and corresponding oximes 7 , 8 were synthesized. On the basis of the mentioned compounds hydrazono ( 3 , 4 ), ureayl and thioureayl ( 5 , 6 ) derivatives, substituted oximes ( 9 , 10 ) and azinyl oximes ( 11 , 12 ) were obtained. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The pesticidal activities of synthesized compounds were studied. Some of the synthesized compounds simultaneously have shown growth stimulant and fungicidal activity.
