Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate sensitized by aliphatic ketones

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate photosensitized by several alkyl ketones has been investigated. It was found that alkyl ketones can induce the free radical polymerization of the monomer with an efficiency that increases when the triplet lifetime decreases. For ketones of similar triplet lifetime those decomposing predominantly by a type I photocleavage show greater initiation efficiencies than those that react by a type II mechanism. The results obtained show that quenching of the excited ketones by the monomer does not induce polymerization. For ketones bearing γ-hydrogens the initiation is due to the 1,4-biradical produced by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction.     

Storage stability of ketones on carbon adsorbents

Activated coconut carbon constitutes the more widely used sorbent for preconcentration of volatile organic compounds in sampling workplace air. Water vapour is always present in the air and its adsorption on the activated carbon surface is a serious drawback, mainly when sampling polar organic compounds, such as ketones. In this case, the recovery of the compounds diminishes; moreover, ketones can be decomposed during storage. Synthetic carbons contain less inorganic impurities and have a lower capacity for water adsorption than coconut charcoal. The aim of this work was to evaluate the storage stability of various ketones (acetone, 2-butanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone and cyclohexanone) on different activated carbons and to study the effect of adsorbed water vapour under different storage conditions. The effect of storage temperature on extraction efficiencies was significant for each ketone in all the studied sorbents. Recovery was higher when samples were stored at 4 degrees C. The results obtained for storage stability of the studied ketones showed that the performance of synthetic carbons was better than for the coconut charcoals. The water adsorption and the ash content of the carbons can be a measure of the reactive sites that may chemisorb ketones or catalize their decomposition. Anasorb 747 showed good ketone stability at least for 7 days, except for cyclohexanone. After 30-days storage, the stability of the studied ketones was excellent on Carboxen 564. This sorbent had a nearly negligible ash content and the adsorbed water was much lower than for the other sorbents tested.     

N-heterocyclic carbenes mediated cyano-phosphorylation of ketones

Cyanation-O-protection reaction of ketones with different cyanide sources catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes is reported. Under the catalysis of 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene, various ketones coupled with diethyl cyanophosphonate to produce cyanohydrin-O-phosphates with a quaternary carbon center in moderate to excellent yield. Furthermore, the reaction can be scaled-up easily and high yield maintained.     

Catalytic asymmetric vinylation and dienylation of ketones

A solution to the long-standing problem of catalytic asymmetric vinylation of ketones is reported. Vinylzinc reagents are generated via hydrozirconation of terminal alkynes followed by transmetalation to zinc. In the presence of our catalyst, which is formed in situ from a bis(sulfonamide) diol ligand (1) and titanium tetraisopropoxide, the vinylzinc reagent undergoes 1,2-addition to a variety of ketones and enones with enantioselectivities (typically >90%) and high yields. This method is tolerant of functional groups, including alkyl, aryl and vinyl halides, esters, silyl protected alcohols, sulfides, and alkenes. Thus, enantioenriched tertiary allylic alcohols bearing a variety of functional groups can be prepared. It has also been found that 2,2-disubstituted vinylzinc reagents, substitution patterns not accessible through hydrozirconation, can be added to ketones with high enantioselectivities to generate trisubstituted allylic alcohols. Furthermore, we have developed an asymmetric addition of dienyl groups to ketones in the presence of our catalyst. This method enables the synthesis of dienols in high yields with enantioselectivities as high as 94%.     

Catalytic hydrogenation of alpha,beta-epoxy ketones to form beta-hydroxy ketones mediated by an NADH coenzyme model

[reaction: see text] The hydrogenation of alpha,beta-epoxy ketones can be mediated by a catalytic amount of BNAH or BNA(+)Br(-) to form corresponding beta-hydroxy ketones in high yield. Na2S2O4 is used as the reducing agent to convert BNA(+)Br(-) to BNAH. A radical mechanism has been proposed to understand many observations of this catalytic reaction.     

Facile approach to enantiomerically pure alpha-amino ketones by Friedel-Crafts aminoacylation and their conversion into peptidyl ketones

In this article we describe a versatile and straightforward preparative approach to chiral aryl alpha-amino ketones via a Friedel-Crafts-type reaction of stable and enantiomerically pure N-Fmoc protected L-amino acid chlorides with toluene in the presence of aluminum trichloride. The developed methodology provided aryl alpha-amino-p-methylphenyl ketones, which can be obtained and isolated as free bases or recovered as their N-acetyl derivatives, after treatment with acetic anhydride in chloroform at room temperature, subsequent to the Lewis acid induced removal of the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl protecting group. The Friedel-Crafts-like process and the cleavage of the amino function masking group can selectively be performed since, as verified in all cases, the alpha-aminoacylation step occurred with kinetics that were faster than those required to remove the N-protection. The presented approach was also explored as a facile and useful synthetic tool for the preparation of optically pure ketone di- and tripeptides. These compounds can be obtained in exceptionally overall yields without need of chromatographic purification. Moreover, either aryl alpha-amino ketones or modified di- and tripeptides, in all cases, can be isolated in very high chemical and optical purity without recourse to resolution of diastereomeric mixtures, since the chiralities of the asymmetric amino acid educts were completely conserved throughout the entire process.     

Stereoselective olefination of unfunctionalized ketones via ynolates

Ynolates react with ketones at room temperature to afford alpha,beta,beta-trisubstituted acrylates (tetrasubstituted olefins) with 2:1-8:1 geometrical selectivities. This can be regarded as a new olefination reaction of ketones giving tetrasubstituted olefins in good yield, even in the case of sterically hindered substrates. The reaction mechanism involves cycloaddition of ynolates with a carbonyl group and subsequent thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of the resulting beta-lactone enolates. The stereoselectivity is determined in the ring-opening, which is regulated by torquoselectivity. In this paper, we describe the scope and limitations of olefination of ketones via ynolates and discuss the stereocontrol mechanism.     

Diphenylphosphinoyl-mediated synthesis of ketones

alpha-Diphenylphosphinoyl ketones are selectively and sequentially alkylated at the alpha-position. Double lithiation and selective alkylation occurs at the less stabilised gamma-position. Dephosphinoylation of the alkylation products gives ketones. Mono-alkylation is selective, highly crystalline intermediates are formed and a one-pot strategy is possible. The method is ideally suited for the preparation of acid-sensitive ketones.     

Synthesis of medicinally interesting polyfluoro ketones via perfluoroalkyl lithium reagents

The addition of (pentafluoroethyl)- and (heptafluoropropyl)lithium to various acyl derivatives was studied. Weinreb and morpholine amides led to polyfluoro ketones in high to quantitative yields in short reaction times. Derivatives of 2-fluorocarboxylic acids may produce 1,1,1,2,2,4-hexafluoro ketones and 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,5-octafluoro ketones. The methodology can provide inhibitors for various lipolytic enzymes, including phospholipase A2.     

A novel pyrrolidine imide catalyzed direct formation of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones from unmodified ketones and aldehydes

A method for direct, stereoselective preparation of (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones from ketones and aldehydes, promoted by a novel pyrrolidine imide organocatalyst, has been developed in moderate to high yields. Unlike the Claisen-Schmidt condensation and Lewis acid catalyzed tandem aldol-dehydration processes, this method provides mild reaction conditions to access alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones from simple, unmodified ketones.

Silver-catalyzed asymmetric Sakurai-Hosomi allylation of ketones

The complex of AgF and (R)-DIFLUORPHOS has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the asymmetric Sakurai-Hosomi allylation of simple ketones. A significaant improvement of the reactivity was observed by using THF as the solvent. The catalyst turnover was increased by addition of 1 equiv of MeOH. AgF and (R)-DIFLUORPHOS predominantly formed a 1:1 complex that provided high enantioselectivity. This catalyst system can be applied to various simple ketones, and corresponding tertiary homoallylic alcohols were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). Only 1,2-adducts were obtained from both acyclic and cyclic conjugate ketones. The regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective crotylation has also been achieved. E- or Z-crotyltrimethoxysilane gave a similar diastereomer ratio with high enantioselectivities. This finding introduces the utility of racemic allylsilanes for the enantioselective Sakurai-Hosomi allylation reaction.     

Reductive cleavage of cyclopropyl ketones

Highly concentrated catalytic asymmetric allylation of ketones

[reaction: see text] We report the catalytic asymmetric allylation of ketones under highly concentrated reaction conditions with a catalyst generated from titanium tetraisopropoxide and BINOL (1:2 ratio) in the presence of isopropanol. This catalyst promotes the addition of tetraallylstannane to a variety of ketones to produce tertiary homoallylic alcohols in excellent yield (80-99%) with high enantioselectivities (79-95%). The resulting homoallylic alcohols can also be epoxidized in situ using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to afford cyclic epoxy alcohols in high yield (84-87%).     

Hydrophobically directed selective reduction of ketones

Three hydrophobic borohydrides carrying phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, and beta-naphthyl groups were used to reduce ketones in water and in methanol. With ketones carrying phenyl, naphthyl, or biphenyl substituents, there was preferential reduction in methanol of competing acetyl groups, either intermolecular or intramolecular, but preferential reduction of the aryl ketones in water. In the most extreme case, there was a 40-fold selectivity reversal. Lithium borohydride showed no such change in selectivity and favored acetyl reduction in both solvents. Salt and cosolvent effects indicate that hydrophobic packing is involved in the reaction of hydrophobic reagents with the aryl ketones. Some special interaction of the pentafluorophenyl group with aryl rings was also detected.     

Insights into the general and efficient cross McMurry reactions between ketones

The selective cross McMurry couplings of diaryl or aryl ketones with various substituted ketones were achieved in 53-94% isolated yields. It is believed that the strong affinity of the substituents to the low-valent titanium surface plays an important role in regards to moderating selectivity. Through the introduction of such substituents followed by their removal post McMurry coupling, structurally similar ketones can be effectively cross-coupled.     

Aziridinyl ketones and their cyclic anils. 6. Proton-acceptor capacities of aziridinyl ketones

The proton-acceptor capacities of a number of cis- and trans-aziridinyl ketones were estimated by IR spectrometry from the shifts of the OH bands of phenol, p-bromophenol, and trichloroacetic acid.It is shown that the cis isomers interact with all of the proton donors, whereas the trans isomers interact only in CCl₃COOH.The latter is due to the fact that a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond exists in the trans-NH-aziridinyl ketones, whereas considerable steric hindrance to complexing develops in the trans-N-alkylaziridinyl ketones.It was established that the formation of complexes takes place at the carbonyl group of the aziridinyl ketones.See [1] for Communication 5.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1641–1644, December, 1981.

Reductive acetylation of nitro ketones of the thiophene series

The action of reduced iron on solutions of nitro ketones of the thiophene series in a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride gave the corresponding acetamido ketones, which can be used, for example, for the synthesis of diacetamidothiophenes (through the oximes).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1323–1325, October, 1982.
