Trihaloisocyanuric acids as convenient reagents for regioselective halogenation of β-dicarbonyl compounds

The reaction of β-dicarbonyl compounds (β-ketoesters and β-diketones) with 0.34 mol equiv of trichloro- and tribromoisocyanuric acids produced regioselectively the corresponding α-monohalo β-dicarbonyl compound. On the other hand, utilization of 0.68 mol equiv of the trihaloisocyanuric acid produced the α,α-dihalo β-dicarbonyl compound.     

An effective new synthesis of 2-aminopyrrole-4-carboxylates

Efficient syntheses of 2-aminopyrroles are presented starting from β-dicarbonyl compounds, bromoacetonitrile, and amines. Alkylation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with bromoacetonitrile furnished α-cyanomethyl-β-dicarbonyl compounds. The condensation reaction of α-cyanomethyl-β-dicarbonyl compounds with amines catalyzed by p-TsOH affords the corresponding enamines in good yields. Base catalyzed cyclization via the addition of an amine moiety to the carbon-nitrogen triple bond of nitrile furnished 2-aminopyrroles in high yields.     

A combined experimental and theoretical study of the thermal cycloaddition of aryl azides with activated alkenes

Reactions were performed from aryl azides on the one hand, and activated alkenes coming from β-dicarbonyl compounds or malonodinitrile on the other hand, either with recourse to conventional heating or to microwave activation, to afford 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. The mechanism and the regioselectivity of the reactions involving β-dicarbonyl compounds have been theoretically studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level: they are domino processes comprising a tautomeric equilibrium of the β-dicarbonyl compounds with their enol forms, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the enol forms with the aryl azides (high activation energy), and a dehydration process (lower activation energy). The effect of non-conventional activation methods on the degradation of 1,2,3-triazolines was next studied experimentally. Finally, some of the 1,2,3-triazoles such synthesized were evaluated for their bactericidal and cytotoxic activities.     

A study of the copper-catalysed direct arylation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-bromobenzoic acids

The Cu-catalysed condensations of 2-bromobenzoic acids with β-dicarbonyl anions to give α-arylated-β-dicarbonyl compounds have been investigated in detail. Previously recommended experimental conditions for these reactions are shown to be in appropriate and the limited synthetic utility of these processes in the past is explained. Much superior conditions have now been developed by use of which a variety of β-dicarbonyl compounds can readily be arylated in good to excellent yield with A wide range of substituted 2-bromobenzoic acids and with certain other halo-aromatic acids. The scope and limitations of the synthetic method have been established, and a simple, high yield procedure for the preparation of homophthalic acids is described. It is shown that Cu(I) is almost certainly the effective catalyst, and information has been obtained on the probable mechanism of the substitution reaction by examination of steric and electronic effects in the halo-aromatic acids and by consideration of the structure and role of the β-dicarbonyl component.

This CAN mediated free radical reaction between enamino esters and β-dicarbonyl compounds provides a novel method for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles. The direct CAN oxidation of β-enaminocinnamates gave the dimerization products effectively.

Starting from trifluoromethyl β-dicarbonyl compounds, a rare loss of CF₃CO was observed in the amination reactions performed under heterogeneous conditions using NsONHCO₂Et as the aminating agent and CaO or NaH as the base, while corresponding nonfluorinated β-dicarbonyl compounds under analogous conditions give non deacylated aminated compounds. This reaction can facilitate a direct synthesis of N-substituted α-amino esters or α-amino ketones.
