Synthesis of New Thiazoles from α-Halohetaryl Ketones

Reactions of -bromoacetylphenoxathiin, -bromoacetylphenoxathiin 10,10-dioxide, or -bromoacetylthianthrene with certain p-(arylsulfonyl)thiobenzamides lead to the formation of the corresponding 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles. The new compounds were characterized through elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR).     

An α-Cyclopropanation of Carbonyl Derivatives by Oxidative Umpolung

The reactivity of iodine(III) reagents towards nucleophiles is often associated with umpolung and cationic mechanisms. Herein, we report a general process converting a range of ketone derivatives into α-cyclopropanated ketones by oxidative umpolung. Mechanistic investigation and careful characterization of side products revealed that the reaction follows an unexpected pathway and suggests the intermediacy of non-classical carbocations.     

New and Stereospecific Synthesis of α-Ethylenic Ketones

Abstract

H. Kise et al¹ have shown that the reaction of β-propiolactones 1 with ylides 2 give phosphonium carboxylate betaïne 3. We now report that, carried out under different conditions, reaction of lactones 1 with the same ylides proceeds through pathway (b). Thermolysis of 4 affords α-ethylenic ketones 5. The mecanism of this new extrusion reaction of triphenylphosphine oxyde probably involves the generation of an oxaphosphene as an intermediate.     

The Reaction of N-Phenyliminoketenylidenetriphenyl-phosphorane with α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds. Synthesis of New Pyran Derivatives

Abstract

The reaction of N-phenyliminoketenylidenetriphenylphosphorane [a] (1), with 2-benzylidene-1, 3-indandione (2), 1,2-diphenyl-3,4-pyrazolidenedione (3)and/or 5-benzylidene barbituric acid (4) has been investigated. When ylide 1 was allowed to react with compounds 2, 3 or 4 in THF at ambient temp. the corresponding new pyrano-phosphoranylidenes 5, 6 or 7 were obtained. The elemental microanalyses, IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR and MS data agree with the structure of the cyclic iminophosphoranes by [4+2]-cycloaddition and exclude 4-membered ring structure by [2+2]-cycloaddition. When the Wittig reaction was carried on the pyrano-phosphoranes 5, 6 or 7 using p-nitrobenzaldehyde, the exocyclic olefins together with triphenylphosphine oxide were isolated.

Reduction and Reductive Alkylation of α-tert-Butylthio Carbonyl Compounds. An Efficient Method for Stepwise α-Alkylation of Esters,Nitriles and Ketones Via the α-Tert-Butylthio Derivatives

An efficient and generally applicable method for stepwise α-alkylatton of esters, nitriles, and ketones via the α-tert-butylthio derivatives is described. The method involves reductive-protonation and reductive-alkylation of α-alkylthio α,α-bis-alkylated carbonyl compounds which are prepared by stepwise alkylation of the corresponding simple α-alkylthio carbonyl precursors. The reduction is conveniently performed by use of stoichiometric amounts of a dissolving metal, particularly lithium, affording correspondingly the α-mono-and the α,α-bis-alkylated carbonyl compounds in good yields.

New Possibilities of the Kabachnik–Fields and Pudovik Reactions in the Phthalocyanine-Catalyzed Syntheses of α-Aminophosphonic and α-Aminophosphinic Acid Derivatives

The results of systematic studies demonstrated wide possibilities of the three-component Kabachnik–Fields and two-component Pudovik reactions catalyzed by metal phthalocyanines in the synthesis of structurally diverse α-aminophosphonates.
