Synthesis of benzodiazocine-annulated heterocycles by the implementation of Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck reaction

Synthesis of hitherto unreported benzodiazocine-annulated heterocycles by the implementation of palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck reaction has been achieved in excellent yields.     

Facile synthesis of caerulomycin E by the formation of 2,2′-bipyridine core via a 2-pyridyl substituted 4H-pyran-4-one. Formal synthesis of caerulomycin A

A new approach to caerulomycins A and E via a 6-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)-4H-pyran-4-one is described. The pyranone precursor is prepared by Claisen condensation of acetylacetone enol ether with ethyl picolinate.     

N-Iodosaccharin (NISac): a new reusable catalyst for formal [2+4] cycloaddition of imines and enones

The first example of N-iodosaccharin (NISac)-catalyzed step, pot and atom economic synthesis of 1,3-oxazines via formal [2+4] cycloaddition of imines and enones has been reported. No by-product formation, operational simplicity, ambient temperature and high yields (85-95%) are the salient features of the present synthetic protocol. After isolation of the product, the catalyst NISac can be easily recovered and reused without any loss of efficiency.     

Computational study of reaction pathways in the course of interaction of deactivated silylenes with buta-1,3-diene

The PESs of systems including deactivated silylenes (SiHHal, SiHal₂, Hal = F, Cl, and 2-silaimidazol-2-ylidene, SiN₂H₂C₂H₂) and buta-1,3-diene have been studied using G3(MP2)//B3LYP method. Two major reaction channels, (2 + 1) and (4 + 1) cycloaddition reactions, leading to 2-vinylsiliranes and silacyclopent-3-enes, respectively, as well as [1,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements between 2-vinylsiliranes and the corresponding silacyclopent-3-enes, have been considered in detail. Reactivity of silylenes toward buta-1,3-diene decreases in the following series: SiHHal > SiHal₂ > SiN₂H₂C₂H₂, which is reflected in increase of the reaction barriers for both cycloaddition reactions and in decrease of exothermicity of the formation of the corresponding products. The (4 + 1) cycloaddition is preferable for SiHal₂ and SiN₂H₂C₂H₂ and can compete with (2 + 1) cycloaddition for SiHHal. [1,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement is important for isomerization of 2-vinylsiliranes to the corresponding silacyclopent-3-enes for all systems studied, except the SiCl₂ system.
