A divergent synthesis of (2E,4E,8E,10E)- and (2E,4E,8E,10Z)-N- isobutyldodeca-2,4,8,10-tetraenamides from pent-4-yn-1-ol allowed identification of the (2E,4E,8E,10Z)-isomer for the first time in Echinacea species. A short, stereoselective synthesis of the (2E,4E,8E,10Z)-isomer is also described which allowed further biological evaluation of this material, and the demonstration that this isomer does not occur in Spilanthes mauritiana as previously reported. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- Chemoenzymatic Halocyclization of γ,δ-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols
-
A chemoenzymatic method for the halocyclization of unsaturated alcohols and acids by using the robust V-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) as catalyst has been developed for the in situ generation of hypohalites. A broad range of halolactones and cyclic haloethers are formed with excellent performance of the biocatalyst.

- Continuous-Flow Multistep Synthesis of Cinnarizine, Cyclizine, and a Buclizine Derivative from Bulk Alcohols
-
Cinnarizine, cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine belong to a family of antihistamines that resemble each other in terms of a 1-diphenylmethylpiperazine moiety. We present the development of a four-step continuous process to generate the final antihistamines from bulk alcohols as the starting compounds. HCl is used to synthesize the intermediate chlorides in a short reaction time and excellent yields. This methodology offers an excellent way to synthesize intermediates to be used in drug synthesis. Inline separation allows the collection of pure products and their immediate consumption in the following steps. Overall isolated yields for cinnarizine, cyclizine, and a buclizine derivative are 82, 94, and 87 %, respectively. The total residence time for the four steps is 90 min with a productivity of 2 mmol h-1. The incredible bulk: Bulk alcohols are converted continuously into chlorides using HCl in a microflow. A reaction network that consists of four steps and two inline separations leads to the continuous preparation of cinnarizine, cyclizine, and a buclizine derivative with yields of 82, 94, and 87 %, respectively. The total residence time for the four steps is 90 min with a productivity of 2 mmol h-1.

- Gold(I)-, palladium(II)-, platinum(II)-, and mercury(II)-catalysed spirocyclization of 1,3-enynediols: Reaction scope
-
The spirocyclization of different 1,3-enynediols was investigated. The reaction was only efficient for the synthesis of [5,6]-spiroacetals. In this case, the reaction was characterized by almost quantitative yields, short reaction times, and low catalyst loadings (0.5-1%). When the synthesis of [6,6]-spiroacetals was attempted, the reaction suffered from poor regioselectivity and a higher propensity of the intermediate dienol ethers to decompose under the acidic conditions, and it became no longer viable. But it is possible to generate the dienol ethers cleanly under milder conditions as a mixture of regioisomers. This striking difference in reaction efficiency was explained by the unstable dienol ethers cyclizing more quickly to give [5,6]-spiroacetals than to give [6,6]-spiroacetals. In this study, the successful application of a new cationic palladium pincer complex for electrophilic alkyne activation at room temperature has been demonstrated for the first time. Copyright

- A Novel Method for the Conversion of Halide Anion to the Positive Halogen by Nitrobenzenesulfonyl Peroxide. Application to Oxyhalogenation of Olefin
-
Bromide and chloride anions could be readily oxidized into positive halogens by treating with p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl peroxide.The positive halogens, thus formed, reacted with olefins to give epihalonium ions, which were trapped by oxygen nucleophiles inter- or intramolecularly to afford oxyhalogenated compounds.

- Cyclisation de composes acetyliniques carbonyles via leur ether d'enol silyle: II. Synthese et reactivite de quelques ethers d'enols derivees d'aldehydes ou de cetones acetyleniques terminaux
-
A number of silyl enol ethers of ω-acetylenic ketones or aldehydes have been prepared following various literature procedures which are compared to each other.By treatment with mercury (II) chloride (1.1 equiv.) in the presence of HMDS (0.2 or 1.5 equiv.) at room temperature, followed by acidification with aqueous HCl-NaI, silyl enol ethers 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, 12 and 13 are cyclized in high yield into 2-alkylidene-1-oxocyclopentanes, methylene- spiro or poly-cyclanones, a methylene cyclopentane unit being formed in the reaction.In the same way, from silyl enol ethers 4, 8 and 10 a methylenecyclohexane unit is formed.In all the products the exocyclic position of the C=C double bond so formed is fully maintained.

- Intramolecular Addition of Alkoxy Radicals. Part 4. Reductive Cyclisation of Olefinic Hydroperoxides
-
Pent-4-enyl hydroperoxide reacts with reducing salts (FeX2, TiCl3) to afford tetrahydrofurfuryl compounds (halides or dimers) in high yield from the selective cyclisation of the pent-4-enyloxy radical.Analogous behaviour is observed for photolysis although the yields of cyclic products are lower.The photolysis of hex-5-enyl hydroperoxide does not yield cyclic products but these are observed when this hydroperoxide is reduced by FeCl2.It is suggested that metallic salts are able to complex the alkoxyl radicals thereby making them more electrophilic and hence more prone to cyclise.
