Sequential amination/annulation/aromatization reaction of carbonyl compounds and propargylamine: a new one-pot approach to functionalized pyridines

A general one-pot synthesis of pyridines 4a-t from the reaction of dialkyl acyclic/cyclic ketones 1a-i, methyl, aryl/heteroaryl ketones 1m-r, and aldehydes bearing alpha-hydrogens 1s,t with propargylamine 2 is described. Gold and copper salts are efficient catalysts for the reaction of ketones with 2. The formation of the pyridines 4 is suggested to proceed through the sequential amination of carbonyl compounds followed by regioselective 6-endo-dig cyclization of the N-propargylenamine (N-propargyldienamine) intermediate 3(5) and aromatization reaction. Whereas the preparation of linear polycyclic pyridine 4i can be carried out by reacting cholestan-3-one 1i with 2, the angular polycyclic pyridine 4j has been obtained starting from cholest-5-en-3-one 1j. Selectivity of the reaction of polycyclic dicarbonyls 1k,l with 2 has also been investigated.     

Gold catalysis: five new bonds by a domino hydroarylation/cycloisomerization

The gold-catalyzed reaction of furans possessing one unsubstituted 2-position with ethynyl vinyl ketones bearing alkyl groups on the alkene led to interesting phenols of the indan-1-one-type by a domino hydroarylation/cycloisomerization. The yields were moderate but higher than in longer routes described before. With ethynyl vinyl ketones that have an aryl substituent, the chemoselectivity of the reaction was different. Then products from an initial reaction at the ethynyl group were observed.     

Diastereoselective addition of gamma-substituted allylic nucleophiles to ketones: highly stereoselective synthesis of tertiary homoallylic alcohols using an allylic tributylstannane/stannous chloride system

The diastereoselective addition of gamma-substituted allylic nucleophiles to ketones has been accomplished to give tertiary homoallylic alcohols. The reaction of tributylcinnamyltin 1a with simple ketones 2 in the presence of stannous chloride (SnCl(2)) gave the tertiary homoallylic alcohols 3, which include the anti form (based on Ph and OH), with high diastereoselectivity. In the reaction course, transmetalation of tributylcinnamyltin 1a with SnCl(2) proceeds to form an active nucleophile which is tentatively considered to be a cinnamyltin(II) species. A cyclic transition state A is favorable because the chlorinated tin(II) center is highly capable of accepting ligands. The other diastereomers (syn form) 4 were obtained in the reaction of tributylcinnamyltin 1a with ketones 2 by the use of BF(3) x OEt(2) instead of SnCl(2). This reaction proceeds through an acyclic transition state in which BF(3) acts as a Lewis acid for activation of ketones. When 3-tributylstannylcyclohexene 1b or 3-tributylstannylcyclopentene 1c was used with SnCl(2), high diastereoselective formation of the corresponding homoallylic alcohols 6 which have the syn form (based on ring chain and OH) was observed. The selectivity was also explained by the cyclic transition state B. When tributylcrotyltin 1d or 1e was used, the stereochemistry of the products depends on the additives (SnCl(2) or BF(3) x OEt(2)), substituents of ketones, and reaction temperature. It is interesting that those additives compensate for each other in terms of diastereoselective alkylation. The alkylation of alpha-alkoxy, aryloxy, or hydroxyketones 16 was achieved in extremely high selectivity using an allylic tributyltin 1a-c/SnCl(2) system. The chelation by carbonyl and beta-oxygens provides a rigid transition state (E or F) for selective reactions. It is noted that the hydroxyketone can be used without protection in this reaction system. The relative stereochemistry of the produced tertiary homoallylic alcohols was determined on the basis of X-ray analyses.     

Efficient PhB(OH)2-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones and isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones under solvent free conditions

An efficient and practical one-pot synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones and isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones has been developed under solvent free-conditions using non-toxic and cheap phenylboronic acid as excellent catalyst. This strategy involves the sequential two-step Mannich/lactamization cascade reaction of inexpensive 2-formylbenzoic acid with primary amines and a wide variety of ketones, and an aldol/lactonization cascade reaction of 2-formylbenzoic acid with a broad range of ketones.     

Novel synthesis of perfluoroalkylated indolizinylphosphonates via a DIPEA-promoted one-pot process

DIPEA-promoted one-pot synthesis of perfluoroalkylated indolizinylphosphonates by the reaction of pyridines 1, bromomethyl ketones 2 with perfluoroalkynylphosphonates 3 is described. This procedure is compatible with a broad range of functional groups in both pyridines and ketones with good yields. The reaction proceeds through a tandem CN bond formation followed by an intramolecular cyclization.     

Efficient one-step aldol-type reaction of ketones with acetals and ketals mediated by dibutylboron triflate/diisopropylethyl amine

one-step Mukaiyama aldol type reaction [reaction: see text] A highly efficient one-step Mukaiyama aldol-type reaction has been developed for the synthesis of beta-alkoxy carbonyl compounds starting from ketones and acetals/ketals. The reaction is mediated by a combination of Bu(2)BOTf and i-Pr(2)NEt affording the products in high yields. Formation of the two possible diastereoisomers of the beta-alkoxy ketones from the chiral acetals shows that the condensation takes place by an S(N)1 mechanism, involving prior opening of the acetal to an oxonium ion.

Apossible coupling reaction process was proposed for the aromatic a-hydroxy ketones.

Dual-activation protocol for tandem cross-aldol condensation: An easy and highly efficient synthesis of α,α′-bis(aryl/alkylmethylidene)ketones

Commercially available lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O) was found to be a novel ‘dual activation’ catalyst for tandem cross-aldol condensation between cyclic/acyclic ketones and aromatic/heteroaromatic/styryl/alkyl aldehydes leading to an efficient and easy synthesis of α,α′-bis(aryl/alkylmethylidene)ketones at r.t. in short times. The reaction of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl and alkyl aldehydes with acyclic and five/six-membered cyclic ketones afforded excellent yields after 2 min to 1.25 h. The reaction conditions were compatible with various electron withdrawing and electron donating substituents, e.g. Cl, F, NO₂, OMe and NMe₂. The rate of the cross-aldol condensation was influenced by the nature of the ketone and electronic and steric factors associated with the aldehyde. The reaction took place at a faster rate for acyclic ketone (e.g., acetone) than that for cyclic ketone (e.g., cyclohexanone). In case of cycloalkanones, the rate of the reaction was dependent on the size of the ring of the cycloalkanone. The cross-aldol condensation of cyclopentanone was faster than that of cyclohexanone for a common aldehyde. In case of reactions involving aliphatic aldehyde having α-hydrogen atom no self-aldol condensation of the aldehyde took place.

Iron powder and tin/tin chloride as new reducing agents of Meerwein arylation reaction with unexpected recycling to anilines

Abstract

Simple and rapid route for Meerwein arylation reaction using iron powder or a mixture of tin/tin chloride has been developed. In the presence of iron powder, different aryl diazonium salts reacted with methyl vinyl ketone, acrylates, and isopropenyl acetate. Production of oximes was detected as the main product with acrylates or in a mixture with β-aryl methyl ketones in the case of methyl vinyl ketone. The in situ produced HNO₂ from an excess of NaNO₂/HCl was trapped by alkyl aryl radical to form oximes in the E configuration form. The presence of tin/tin chloride mixture in the reaction of the aryl diazonium salts with methyl vinyl ketone produced Michael products along with β-aryl methyl ketones. The predicted α-aryl methyl ketones from the reaction of isopropenyl acetate with the diazotized anilines were obtained using iron or tin/tin chloride mixture.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydropyrroles by Ring‐Opening/Cyclization of Cyclopropyl Ketones Using Primary Amines

The asymmetric ring‐opening/cyclization of cyclopropyl ketones with primary amine nucleophiles was catalyzed by a chiral N,N′‐dioxide/scandium(III) complex through a kinetic resolution process. A broad range of cyclopropyl ketones and primary amines are suitable substrates of this reaction. The corresponding products were afforded in excellent enantioselectivities and yields (up to 97 % ee and 98 % yield) under mild reaction conditions. This method provides a promising access to chiral 2,3‐dihydropyrroles as well as an effective procedure for the kinetic resolution of 2‐substituted cyclopropyl ketones.

[Ru(DMSO)4]Cl2 catalyzes the α-alkylation of ketones by alcohols

The electrophilic α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols was accomplished by a [Ru(DMSO)₄]Cl₂ catalyzed process, water being the only wasted material. The reaction can be successfully governed to produce either the expected ketones or their related alcohols only by changing the reaction conditions. When 2-aminobenzyl alcohol was used, a cyclization process took place to yield 2,3-disubstituted quinolines.

The boron-mediated ketone-ketone aldol reaction

The first examples of the directed, boron-mediated aldol reaction between different ketones are presented. Transformation of a variety of ketones to their corresponding boron enolates with Chx₂BCl/Et₃N, followed by reaction with acceptor ketones in diethyl ether, and oxidation of the resultant boron aldolate (H₂O₂, MeOH/pH 7 buffer), provided the aldol addition products. The reaction was most facile when cyclic ketones were used, with the highest yields obtained for the reaction of boron enolates with cyclohexanone as the acceptor.     

Synthesis of chiral ortho-(p-tolylsulfinyl) benzyl ketones

(S)-ortho-(p-Tolylsulfinyl)benzyl alkyl (and aryl) ketones 1a-e were prepared in good yields by reaction of esters or nitriles with the lithium benzyl carbanion derived from 2-(p-tolylsulfinyl) methylbenzene. α-Methylbenzyl ketones 2 were prepared as ca. 1:1 diastereoisomeric mixtures by methylation of the unsubstituted ketones 1 with NaH/MeI. The use of the ethylbenzene derivative as the starting material afforded complex mixtures. The obtention of pure (S,(S)S)-2 diastereoisomers could be attained in good yields by oxidation with PCC of the alcohols (epimeric mixtures at the hydroxylic carbon) obtained from reactions of aldehydes with the lithium carbanion derived from 2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)ethylbenzene.
