- REACTION OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES WITH t-BUTYL BROMIDE-DIMETHYL SULPHOXIDE
-
Reacting aldehydes and ketones with the "ButBr-Me2SO" system produces the corresponding α-bromoderivatives 2.In the case of ketones, where more than one regioisomer is possible, bromination is obtained exclusively at the more highly substituted α-position.With slight modifications of the reaction conditions (addition of Me2S, Me2SO) it is possible to obtain "in situ" formation of either dimethyl(2-oxo-phenylalkyl)sulphonium salts 3 or of α-methylthioderivatives 4.Dimethyl(1-methyl-2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)sulphonium bromide (3h) during crystallization undergoes spontaneous resolution of the two enantiomers, as demonstrated by single crystal X-ray analysis and absolute configuration assignment.

- Enantioselective Biocatalytic Reduction of 2 H-1,4-Benzoxazines Using Imine Reductases
-
A biocatalytic reduction of 2H-1,4-benzoxazines using imine reductases is reported. This process enables a smooth and enantioselective synthesis of the resulting cyclic amines under mild conditions in aqueous media by means of a catalytic amount of the cofactor NADPH as hydride source as well as glucose as the reducing agent used in stoichiometric amounts for in situ cofactor recycling. Several substrates were studied, and the 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines were obtained with up to 99% ee. In addition, the efficiency of this reduction process based on imine reductases as catalysts has been demonstrated for one 2H-1,4-benzoxazine on an elevated laboratory scale running at a substrate loading of 10 g L-1 in the presence of a tailor-made whole-cell catalyst.

- Direct synthesis of α-bromoketones from alkylarenes by aerobic visible light photooxidation
-
The direct synthesis of α-bromoketones from alkylarenes by aerobic photooxidation with hydrobromic acid is reported. The key success for this direct oxidative reaction is due to control of bromination with acetic acid and ethanol, which are generated in situ by solvolysis of ethyl acetate in the course of the reaction.

-
Visible light induces C-C-bond cleavage reactions of ketones, which can be utilized forN-acylations of sulfoximines. No (photo)catalyst is required, and the reactions occur at ambient temperature in air. The substrate scope is broad for both ketones and sulfoximines. For convertingNH-sulfoximines, the presence of NBS is essential.

- Synthesis of α,β-dibromo ketones by photolysis of α-bromo ketones with N-bromosuccinimide: Photoinduced β-bromination of α-bromo ketones
-
Irradiation of α-bromopropiophenones in the presence of NBS results in the formation of α,β-dibromopropiophenones, which can be viewed as β-bromination of α-bromopropiophenones. The reaction is believed to go through a series of reactions; photoinduced C–Br bond cleavage, elimination of HBr to give α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates, and addition of Br2, which are formed by the reaction between HBr and NBS. From mechanistic studies of the reaction, we have also found a very convenient method for α-debromination of the α,β-dibromopropiophenones which is by simple irradiation of the dibromo ketones in acetone or 2-propanol without the use of any additives. Our results demonstrate that bromine can be added into or eliminated from the alpha, beta, or both positions to the carbonyl group by photochemical methods, which make synthetic options of bromine containing carbonyl compounds versatile.

- Iron-Catalyzed Acyl Migration of Tertiary α-Azidyl Ketones: Synthetic Approach toward Enamides and Isoquinolones
-
This paper reports that tertiary α-azidyl phenyl ketones can be transformed into enamides by treatment with FeBr2 at elevated temperature in DMF. The reaction proceeds via 1,2-benzoyl migration from α-carbon to the nitrogen atom, accompanied by expulsion of a nitrogen molecule. This protocol is suitable for the synthesis of N-(cyclopent-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, N-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, and N-benzoyl-α-methyl enamines and provides a convenient approach toward isoquinolones.

- Solvent free, light induced 1,2-bromine shift reaction of α-bromo ketones
-
Photolysis of α-bromopropiophenones in acetonitrile results in formation of β-bromopropiophenones with good product selectivity, which can be coined as 1,2-Br shift reaction. The product selectivity increases when the reaction is done in neat or solid state, where only the 1,2-Br shift product is formed in some cases. The reaction is suggested to proceed by C–Br bond homolysis to give a radical pair, followed by disproportionation and conjugate addition of HBr to the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate. When the unsaturated intermediate is stabilized by an extra conjugation, the reaction stops at the stage, in which the unsaturated ketone becomes a major product. The synthetic method described in this research fits in a category of eco-friendly organic synthesis nicely since the reaction does not use volatile organic solvents and any other additives such as acid, base or metal catalysts, etc. Besides, the method fits into perfect atom economy, which does not give any side products. The synthetic method should find much advantage over other alternative methods to obtain β-bromo carbonyl compounds.

Mechanistic study by control experiments and DFT calculations suggested that the reaction is initiated by Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed hydration of TosMIC to form a formamide intermediate, which undergoes facile C-S bond cleavage under the mediation of a Cs2CO3 additive.

- Discovery of 6-phenylpyrimido[4,5- B ][1,4]oxazines as potent and selective Acyl CoA: Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitors with in vivo efficacy in rodents
-
The discovery and optimization of a series of acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitors based on a pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]oxazine scaffold is described. The SAR of a moderately potent HTS hit was investigated resulting in the discovery of phenylcyclohexylacetic acid 1, which displayed good DGAT1 inhibitory activity, selectivity, and PK properties. During preclinical toxicity studies a metabolite of 1 was observed that was responsible for elevating the levels of liver enzymes ALT and AST. Subsequently, analogues were synthesized to preclude the formation of the toxic metabolite. This effort resulted in the discovery of spiroindane 42, which displayed significantly improved DGAT1 inhibition compared to 1. Spiroindane 42 was well tolerated in rodents in vivo, demonstrated efficacy in an oral triglyceride uptake study in mice, and had an acceptable safety profile in preclinical toxicity studies.

The gold(III)-catalyzed rearrangement of tetrasubstituted 1-alkynyloxiranes is described. This transformation led to a different reaction outcome with respect to related substrates previously studied. Thus, tertiary α-alkynylketones or alkynols can be selectively obtained. Moreover, gold(III) proved capable to catalyze the rearrangement of simple epoxides. These results indicate that gold(III) complexes act as oxophilic Lewis acids rather than π-acids in these transformations.

- Substituent effects on rates of formation of methoxy-substituted carbonyl ylides from 2-aryl-2-methoxy- an 5-aryl-2-methoxy-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines

2-aryl-2-methoxy-5,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (4) and 5-aryl-2-methoxy-2,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (5) were synthetized.Compounds 4 decompose in solution with first order kinetics.Rate constants are correlated with Hammett substituent constants (?-) with p(49.2 deg C) = 0.74 and 0.89 for CCl4 and CD3OD, respectively.The final products from 4 indicate that thermolysis involves the cleavage of both C-N bonds, to form N2 and initially, a carbonyl ylide.Compounds 5, which were obtained as mixtures of cis/trans isomers containing several impurities, and which therefore gave poorer kinetic data, decomposed in CDCl3 solution with p(45 deg C) = 1.1.Carbonyl ylide intermediates, similar to those from the closelyrelated compounds 4, were assumed on the basis of analogy and on the basis of partial identification of products.The effects of para substituents in the aryl groups of 4 and 5 show that the transition states have greater electron density at C-2 of 4 and at C-5 of 5 than do the starting materials.In spite of the increase in electron density at C-2 of 4, the transition state must be less polar, overall, than the ground state because rate constants for thermolysis of 4 in methanol are smaller than those for CCl4 solvent.A plausible explantation for the substituent effects and solvent effects in that the loss of N2 is concerted, with a transition state resembling more closely a spin paired 1,3-diradical than a 1,3-dipole.Alternative stepwise mechanisms, in which C2-N3 bond scission of 4 and C5-N4 bond scission of 5 are the rate-determining steps, leading to 1,5-diradical intermediates, can not be excluded on the basis of the evidence.

-
The sensitized irradiation of 1-phenyl-2-carbomethoxy-3,3-dimethylcyclopropene produced two novel photodimers.The minor product can be explained in terms of an initial bond formation to give a diradical intermediate.Collapse of the diradical furnishes a tricyclohexane which undergoes a subsequent cycloreversion to give a 1,4-cyclohexadiene derivative.The major photodimer is derived by cyclopropyl ring opening of the initially produced diradical followed by cyclization to give a bicyclobutane derivative.Direct irradiation of 1-phenyl-2-carbomethoxy-3,3-dimethylcyclopropene afforded a mixture of 1-carbomethoxy-3,3-dimethyl-1-phenylallene, 1-carbomethoxy-3-methyl-2-phenylbutadiene, and 2-carbomethoxy-3-methyl-1-phenylbutadiene.The formation of the three products can be rationalized in terms of a vinylcarbene intermediate which inserts into the adjacent methyl group.The product distribution favors cleavage of the carbomethoxy substituted ?-bond of the cyclopropene ring.This regioselectivity can be attributed to a funneling of the excited singlet state of the cyclopropene to the energy surface of the higher lying carbene state.The photochemical and thermal behavior of several hydroxyalkyl substituted cyclopropenes derived from 1-phenyl-2-carbomethoxy-3,3-dimethylcyclopropene was also studied and the results obtained were compared to the reactions in the carbomethoxy series.
