A convenient semicarbazide resin for the solid-phase synthesis of peptide ketones and aldehydes

Use of a semicarbazide resin for the solid-phase preparation of peptide ketones and aldehyde led to optimal results in terms of both purity of the final product and overall yield. This resin was prepared without complication by activation of the commercial available aminomethyl polystyrene with CDI at room temperature, followed by treatment with tert-butyl carbazate. Furthermore, the TNBSA colorimetric assay has been adapted for checking the incorporation of the carbonyl moiety onto hydrazine-based resins.     

Direct synthesis of Cbz-protected β-amino ketones by iodine-catalyzed three-component condensation of aldehydes, ketones and benzyl carbamate

Iodine has been found to be very effective catalyst for a Mannich reaction between an aryl aldehyde, an aryl ketone and benzyl carbamate, even though this is a less reactive amine, to produce Cbz-protected β-aryl β-amino carbonyl compounds in high yields.     

Thermochemistry of aromatic ketones. Experimental enthalpies of formation and structural effects

The standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH^o (liq. or cr.) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured using combustion calorimetry for benzophenone (A), 1-indanone (B), -tetralone (C), 9-fluorenone (D), anthrone (E) and dibenzosuberone (F). The standard enthalpies of vaporization Δ_vH^o or sublimation Δ_sH^o of A-F and 5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenzo[a,c]cyclohepten-6-one (G) were obtained from the temperature function of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Enthalpies of fusion Δ_mH of solid compounds were measured by DSC. From the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous compounds of A-G the values of their strain enthalpies were derived and structural effects discussed.

     

Neue acetonylsubstituierte Azole II. 3-Acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 2-Acetonyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole und 5-Acetonyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole

3-Acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 2-acetonyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are accessible starting with the ketal of acetoacetamide oxime and the ketal of acetoacetic acid hydrazide, respectively. 5-Acetonyl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles are obtained from 5-chloro-1,2,4-thiadiazoles andtert.-butyl acetoacetate. These Acetonyl-azoles are starting materials for three series of azolylvinyl phosphates and phosphonates.

Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by Sn-aniline complex

Sn-aniline complex was prepared by a simple procedure.Cyclic and acyclic ketones were oxidized into lactones or esters with very high selectivity and yield with 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Sn-aniline complex.     

Neue acetonylsubstituierte Azole I. 5-Acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole

Aliphatic amidoximesR—C (NH₂)=NOH react with diketene to yield 5-acetonyl-3-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, which are susceptible to a wide variety of reactions at the keto-group as well as at the methylene-group. Their transformations into 1-methyl-2-oxadiazolyl-vinylN,N-dimethylcarbamates, 2-chloro-1-oxadiazolylpropenes, 1-oxadiazolyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propenes, 1,1-dichloro-1-oxadiazolylacetones and 3-hydroxy-2-oxadiazolyl-crotonic amides are described as well as their reactions with diazonium salts, with sodium nitrite and with carbon disulfide. Further products obtained are carbamates of of 1-oxadiazolyl-2-oxo-propane-1-oximes, 2-chloro-2-oxadiazolylvinyl phosphates and an oxadiazolyl pyrimidine.

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate as an extremely efficient catalyst for 1,3-dithiolane/dithiane formation from carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions at room temperature

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate hydrate is a new and extremely efficient catalyst for 1,3-dithiolane/dithiane formation from aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and cyclic saturated ketones in 1-5 min under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The reaction is compatible with other functionalities such as ether, ester, hydroxyl, halide, nitro and cyano groups and exhibits excellent chemoselectivity. α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes/ketones lead to selective formation of 1,3-dithiolanes instead of Michael addition products. For substrates bearing an aldehyde and a ketone carbonyl group, chemoselective dithiolane formation takes place with the aldehyde.
