This one-pot three-component reaction afforded the corresponding β-amino carbonyl compounds, β-amino esters, and β-amino ketones in good to excellent yields. The reaction was also applied for the liquid-phase synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compound library using PEG as a support.     

Catalytic olefination of carbonyl compounds. A new versatile method for the synthesis of alkenes

The review is devoted to a new catalytic olefination reaction (COR) discovered by the authors. This is the reaction between N-unsubstituted hydrazones of carbonyl compounds with dihalides CHal₂XY in the presence of copper(i) chloride to give substituted alkenes. Catalytic olefination is versatile. Variation of the carbonyl and olefinating components opens up the way for the synthesis of various classes of unsaturated compounds including those containing functional groups. The reaction mechanism is discussed and a catalytic cycle describing the process is proposed. A model for estimating and predicting the reactivity of halogen-containing compounds in the COR is developed. The relationship between the structure of the carbonyl substrates and their behavior in the title reaction is elucidated.

Efficient Method for Thioacetalization of Carbonyl Compounds in the Presence of a Catalytic Amount of Benzyltriphenylphosphonium Tribromide (BTPTB) under Solvent-Free Conditions

A variety of carbonyl compounds have been successfully converted to the corresponding thioacetal derivatives in good to excellent yields on reaction of carbonyl compounds with 1,2-ethanedithiole, 1,3-propanedithiol, and ethylthiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of benzyltriphenylphosphonium tribromide (BTPTB) under solvent-free conditions. Some of the major advantages of this method are mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and the compatibility with other reported methods. In addition, no bromination occurs at the double bond or α to the keto position or even in the aromatic ring under these experimental conditions.     

Practical and simple synthesis of substituted quinolines by an HCl-DMSO system on a large scale: remarkable effect of the chloride ion

[reaction: see text] A variety of substituted quinolines are synthesized from imines and enolizable carbonyl compounds under aerobic conditions, in which only water is a byproduct. In DMSO, a catalytic amount of HCl activates carbonyl compounds quite effectively to give the quinolines. A simple and practical procedure is demonstrated on a large scale.     

Synthesis of novel thermosetting imide compounds having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups at both terminal ends and production of new network polymers based on the imide compounds

A novel thermosetting imide compound having a respective phenylethynyl carbonyl group at both terminal ends was newly synthesized from an acid anhydride having a phenylethynyl carbonyl group and various diamine compounds. The thermosetting behavior of the obtained novel thermosetting imide compound having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups was analyzed through differential scanning calorimetry measurements and infrared spectroscopic analysis. As a result, it became clear that a curing reaction of phenylethynyl carbonyl groups proceeds at approximately 200°C and that the curing reaction thereof proceeds at a temperature that is lower by 150°C or more compared with that of phenylethynyl groups. Examination of the polymerization reaction of the imide compounds having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups using model compounds revealed that a reaction that imparted an alkene C=C and polycyclic aromatic structure progressed. Moreover, a network polymer obtained from a thermosetting imide compound having respective phenylethynyl carbonyl groups at both terminal ends exhibited extremely superior heat resistance and thermal decomposition resistance. These superior thermal properties are thought to be due to the strong molecular interaction (molecular packing) that results from the polycyclic aromatic structures and alkenes produced through polymerization of the phenylethynyl carbonyl groups and to the suppression of the movement of the molecular chains.     

Oxovanadium(V)-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Coupling Reaction of Alcohols with Trimethylsilyl Enol Ethers in the Presence of MS3A

Oxovanadium(V)-catalyzed deoxygenative coupling reaction of allyl alcohols with trimethylsilyl enol ethers was demonstrated to afford γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in one-step. The catalytic deoxygenative coupling reaction of allyl alcohols proceeded smoothly with both aromatic and aliphatic trimethylsilyl enol ethers. This catalytic deoxygenative coupling system could be applied to the deoxygenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohols with trimethylsilyl enol ethers, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Furthermore, a gram-scale catalytic synthesis of the γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compound was successfully performed to validate the scalability of this catalytic deoxygenative coupling reaction.     

REACTIONS OF DERIVATIVES OF PHOSPHORUS ACIDS WITH CARBONYL COMPOUNDS ACTIVATED BY ELECTRONEGATIVE GROUPS

Abstract

The Arbuzov reaction results in the synthesis of various phosphonic esters and is of great importance for the further development of the chemistry of organophosphorus compounds. Investigations of recent decades have shown that, besides halogen-containing organic compounds, different types of organic compounds of the electrophilic type which do not contain halogen atoms are capable of entering this reaction. Reactions with carbonyl compounds are especially interesting. This report presents the results of reactions of derivatives of tricoordinated phosphorus (trialkyl phosphites, amidophosphites, ester anhydrides, isocyanate phosphites) with carbonyl compounds. Special emphasis was placed on studying the reactions with carbonyl compounds activated by some electronegative groups. The regularities and mechanisms of these reactions were investigated depending on the structure of the carbonyl compounds, the derivatives of tricoordinated phosphorus and the reaction conditions.     

α-Fluoroalkylation of carbonyl compounds mediated by a highly reactive alkyl-rhodium complex

Treatment of silyl enol ethers of various carbonyl compounds with Et₂Zn and fluoroalkyl halides (R_f-X) in the presence of RhCl(PPh₃)₃ in DME gave the corresponding α-R_f carbonyl compounds. A highly reactive alkyl-rhodium complex which was derived from RhCl(PPh₃)₃ and Et₂Zn must be crucial in this reaction by accelerating the reaction rate and improving the yields dramatically. This reaction overcomes difficulties on the synthesis of α-R_f carbonyl compounds due to inverse polarization of R_f-X.     

A convenient one-pot synthesis of thiazol-2-imines: application in the construction of pifithrin analogues

For the first time a reaction intermediate has been isolated giving further insight into the mechanism of thiazol-2-imine formation. The first step of the reaction requires a basic medium, while the second step is an acid mediated E1 elimination reaction. An efficient one-pot synthesis of substituted thiazol-2-imines have been achieved by the condensation of carbonyl compounds with thioureas and 1,3-disubstituted thioureas using 1,1′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT). Unsymmetrical 1,3-disubstituted thioureas give regioselective products with symmetrical ketones, which are mainly governed by the pK_as of NH protons of thiourea, whereas symmetrical 1,3-disubstituted thioureas give regioselective products with symmetrical carbonyl compounds owing to the regioselective bromination of ketones. The methodology is extended to access novel neurodegenerative drug candidate pifithrin-α analogues in good yields in shorter reaction time. This method is simple, versatile and is applicable for different 1,3-disubstituted thioureas as well as a range of carbonyl compounds.     

Stereoselective synthesis of vicinal diols by the stannous chloride-mediated reaction of unprotected hydroxyallylic stannane with carbonyl compounds

The highly stereoselective synthesis of vicinal diols was accomplished by the reaction of hydroxymethyl anion equivalents with carbonyl compounds. The reaction of hydroxyallylic stannanes with various aldehydes gave but-3-en-1,2-diols in the presence of SnCl₂. The diol moiety showed syn-diastereoselectivity. A mechanism for this reaction was proposed: transmetalation of the hydroxyallylic stannane with SnCl₂ gives an active rearranged allylic tin(II) species, which adds to carbonyl compounds through a cyclic transition state. The use of either α-alkoxy or hydroxy carbonyl compounds instead of aldehydes also gave the corresponding vicinal diols with high selectivity. In this case, either the alkoxy or the hydroxy group effectively coordinates to the tin(II) center to form a transition state that leads to high selectivity. The reaction of hydroxyallylic stannane with α-alkoxy aldehyde afforded the product through a cyclic transition state according to the Felkin-Anh model. This system was applied to sugar synthesis because conventional treatment of protected (R)-glyceraldehyde led to d-arabinose. The configurations of the major products were determined by means of X-ray structural analysis.

A simple and useful method has been demonstrated for the deprotection of 1,3-oxathiolanes and 1,3-dithiolanes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yield by employing catalytic amount (30 mol %) of iodine supported on neutral alumina in ethanol-water or water. The major advantages of this protocol are mild reaction conditions, less reaction time, easy to handle, high yields, inexpensive reagent and environmentally benign.

[reaction: see text] The efficient addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with a copper-diphosphine catalyst has been carried out. A dramatic rate acceleration of the reaction was realized by adding alcohol additives. With use of this procedure, a variety of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds including conjugated substrates at the acid oxidation level such as esters and nitriles were reacted to give to the corresponding beta-boryl carbonyl compounds in high yields.

Analysis of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyl compounds in ambient air by LC/MS/MS.

A sensitive liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometric technique (LC/MS/MS) was applied to determine aliphatic and aromatic carbonyl compounds in ambient air. Traces of the carbonyl compounds were sampled by passing through a Sep-Pak DNPH-silica cartridge. Their derivatives were thus eluted with acetonitrile, separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and determined by quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry in an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mode with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The detection limits (DL) of the carbonyl compounds were 0.8 - 15 ng/m3. A number of the carbonyl compounds were detected at n.d.- 14 microg/m3 levels. The precursor ion scanning analysis was applied to identify the unknown compounds.

Cleavage of oximes using a solid supported hypervalent organoiodine reagent

A facile and efficient oxidative cleavage of oximes to form carbonyl compounds is reported using phenyl iodonium (III) diacetate (PIDA) and polymer supported polydiacetoxyiodostyrene. Regeneration of carbonyl compounds from corresponding oximes is an important reaction, since oxime derivatives constitute one of the primary methods for purification and characterization of carbonyl compounds. This process overcomes many of the disadvantages associated with other oxidative methods such as long reaction times, difficulties in isolation of products and formation of over oxidized products.     

The interaction of rhodium carbenoids with carbonyl compounds as a method for the synthesis of tetrahydrofurans

The transition metal catalyzed reaction of α-diazo carbonyl compounds has found numerous applications in organic synthesis, and its use in either heterocyclic or carbocyclic ring formation is well precedented. In contrast to other catalysts that are suitable for carbenoid reactions of diazo compounds, those constructed with the dirhodium(II) framework are most amenable to ligand modification that, in turn, can influence reaction selectivity. The reaction of rhodium carbenoids with carbonyl groups represents a very efficient method for generating carbonyl ylide dipoles. Rhodium-mediated carbenoid–carbonyl cyclization reactions have been extensively utilized as a powerful method for the construction of a variety of novel polycyclic ring systems. This article will emphasize some of the more recent synthetic applications of the tandem rhodium carbenoid cyclization/cycloaddition cascade for natural product synthesis. Discussion centers on the chemical behavior of the rhodium metal carbenoid complex that is often affected by the nature of the ligand groups attached to the metal center.
