Regioselective 1,4-trifluoromethylation of α,β-enones using ‘protect-in-situ’ methodology

In a convenient and efficient procedure, the nucleophilic 1,4-trifluoromethylation of several α,β-enones using (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane was achieved. The high regioselectivity of the reaction has been reached by blocking the carbonyl moiety of the electrophile with a bulky aluminum-centered Lewis acid.     

Structure of norbornene-fused 3,1-oxazine double cycloadducts

Pentacyclic isoxazolines were obtained by the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide to norbornene-azetidinone-fused 3,1-oxazines. The constitutions of two of the isomers obtained, and the configurations and conformations of all products, were determined by means of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and DNOE experiments.     

Microwave-assisted Regioselective 1-O-Deacylation of Peracylated Glycopyranoses on Alumina

A facile, rapid and regioselective method for the 1-O-deacylation of peracylated glycopyranoses is described which occurs under mild conditions by absorption onto alumina using microwave irradiation.     

氧化苯乙烯和氧化二苯乙烯的区域选择性和立体选择性开环

本文报道 NaBH_4-CoCl_2可使氧化苯乙烯类化合物发生区域选择性开环,主要生成β-苯乙醇衍生物。对于氧化二苯乙烯类化合物,由于受到苯环的空间阻碍,使其开环能力减弱,如反式氧化二苯乙烯比顺式异构体更难于开环。     

4-Methylpyrimidinium ylides. Part 7: 3+2 Dipolar cycloadditions to non-symmetrical substituted alkenes and alkynes

The ability of 4-methylpyrimidinium ylides (as 1,3-dipoles) to react with activated non-symmetrical substituted dipolarophiles (alkenes and alkynes) is presented. 4-Methylpyrimidinium ylides did not react with alkenes. With alkynes the reactions are regiospecific, a single regioisomer being obtained. A possible mechanism for the reaction pathway is proposed. For the first time in the pyrimidinium ylides series both isomers resulting from bonding to the 2-and 6-positions of the heterocycle ring were obtained. The appropriate conditions in order to increase the selectivity of one of the isomers were determined.     

Purine Nucleoside Analogs. 12. Synthesis of Novel 8,9-Disubstituted Guanine Derivatives by S-Alkylation of 2-Acetamido-9-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)-6-oxo-8-thioxopurine

S-Alkylation of 2-acetamido-9-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)-6-oxo-8-thioxopurine was used to synthesize its novel S- and N₍₇₎-substituted derivatives. We have established the effect of the structure of the alkylating agent on the reaction conditions and its regioselectivity. We have shown that the synthesized guanine derivatives can be modified further.

A quantum-chemical study of regioselectivity of indolization of some unsymmetrical ketone phenylhydrazones

The heat of formation (H _f) of unsymmetrical ketone phenylhydrazones and their enehydrazine tautomers was calculated by the semi-empirical quantum-chemical AM1 method. It is concluded that from H _f values it is possible to judge the regioselectivity of indolization of unsymmetrical ketone phenylhydrazones.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 220–221, January, 1993.     

Reaction Of 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazolederivatives with Alkylating Agents. 1. Alkylation in the Presence of Alkali

Alkylation of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole and 5-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole with dialkyl sulfates or alkyl halides in the presence of alkali proceeds with a low selectivity for the alkylating agent with the formation of two regioisomers at the N₍₁₎ and N₍₂₎ atoms of the heterocycle. Depending on the reaction conditions the proportion of the N₍₂₎ isomer was 14.6-33.8%. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1020–1025, July, 2005.     

Studies of the Factors Controlling Regioselective Nucleophilic Addition to Dienylium-Iron Complexes

Tricarbonyl(4-alkoxyl-1-alkylcyclohexadienylium)iron complexes (I) react with metal-cation enolate nucleophiles to give in most cases a mixture of products (II) and (III), resulting from attack at the C-1 and C-5 termini of the dienylium ring. Factors that control the regioselectivity of nucleophilic addition, including the steric and electronic effects of the 4-alkoxyl and 1-alkyl substituents, the degree of association between the enolate nucleophiles and their counterions, and the polarity of the solvents, were investigated.
