One-Pot Wittig and Knoevenagel Reactions in Ionic Liquid as Convenient Methods for the Synthesis of Coumarin Derivatives

Efficient synthesis of a variety of 3-substituted coumarins via NaOMe-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation and one-pot preparation of 3,4-unsubstituted coumarins in the presence of NaOMe via Wittig reaction in room-temperature ionic liquids are described. Knoevenagel condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with dimethyl- and diethylmalonate was performed with excellent yields in room-temperature ionic liquids. Although diethyl- and dimethylchloromalonates were mostly recovered unchanged in Knoevenagel condensation, higher conversions were observed via Wittig reaction of these compounds with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives and triphenylphosphine. Other 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives, methyl- and ethylchloroacetates, were reacted in ionic liquids to afford simple coumarins in good yields. These reactions widen the applicability of ionic liquid in organic synthesis.     

A Convenient Method for the Synthesis of Alkenes from Vic-diols via Cyclic Sulfates with Magnesium Iodide

Reaction of cyclic sulfates of vic-diols with magnesium iodide in acetonitrile produced the corresponding olefins in excellent isolated yields at room temperature. Cyclic sulfates of trans-diols gave trans-alkenes exclusively. Cyclic sulfates of cis-diols gave a mixture of cis- and trans- alkenes. However, the cyclic sulfate of cyclic cis-diol afforded the corresponding cis-alkene only.     

Convenient Synthesis of 2,2-Dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines

A convenient general synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines using the Wittig reaction is described. The o-nitrobenzaldehydes (1a–d) on reaction with phosphorane 2 provided ( E )-ethyl-α-(2,2-dimethylprop-2-ene)-2-nitrocinnamates (3a–d) in excellent yields, which on cyclization with polyphosphoric acid followed by reductive cyclization using Fe/HCl afforded dihydropyranoquinolines (5a–d). Alternatively, the pyranoquinolines 5a–d were also synthesised from esters 3a–d by employing domino reductive cyclization in a single step.

A convenient synthesis of olefins via deacylation reaction

A convenient and environmentally-friendly synthetic method of olefins via deacylation reaction is described. The reaction gives olefins by condensation of aldehydes with a variety of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate at room temperature in high yields (70-90%) in one step. The synthetic potential of this strategy can be used as an alternative procedure to the Wittig, Wittig-Horner reactions. The stereochemistry of the resulted olefins was determined by NOE experiment with correct radio frequency and X-ray analysis. The E/Z selectivity of the deacylation reaction depends on the α-substituents of the 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

A Convenient Synthesis of Diketopyrrolopyrrole Dyes

Diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles (DPP) are high-performance organic optoelectronic materials. They have applications in solar cells, fluorescent probes, bioimaging, photodynamic/photothermal therapy, and in many other areas. This article reports a convenient two-step synthesis of various DPP dyes from Pigment Red 254, an inexpensive commercial pigment. The synthesis includes a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of a bis(4-chlorophenyl)DPP derivative with aryl and hetaryl boronic acids under mild reaction conditions. The new dyes show large Stokes shifts and high fluorescence quantum yields, important features for their potential use in technical and biological applications.

Intramolecular and Intermolecular Schmidt Reactions of Alkyl Azides with Aldehydes

Despite recent advances in the use of alkyl azides in ring expansion reactions of ketones, there has been little work done on the corresponding chemistry of aldehydes. In the present study, the Lewis acid-promoted reactions of alkyl azides with aldehydes were studied in both intermolecular and intramolecular contexts. The intramolecular reactions of azidoalkyl aldehydes in which the azide and carbonyl groups were separated by 2-5 carbons were examined. Although the examples having the shortest tether failed (3-azidopropanals), each of the other systems gave good yields of either NH-substituted lactams (resulting from hydride migration in the initially formed azidohydrin adduct) or formamides (alkyl migration). The product formed was dependent on the chain length of the starting azido aldehyde. The intermolecular reactions were less efficient, requiring TiCl₄ promotion for even moderate yields, and in each case gave mixtures of products resulting from hydride and alkyl migration.
