- New preparation of stereodefined α,α-unsaturated ketones by carbomagnesiation of α-allenyl ketones
-
The addition of several alkylmagnesium halides to an α-allenyl ketone leads to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketones as single geometrical isomers. A π-chelation between the metal and the unsaturation is proposed to explain the steric outcome of this reaction.

- Continuous flow synthesis of ketones from carbon dioxide and organolithium or grignard reagents
-
We describe an efficient continuous flow synthesis of ketones from CO 2 and organolithium or Grignard reagents that exhibits significant advantages over conventional batch conditions in suppressing undesired symmetric ketone and tertiary alcohol byproducts. We observed an unprecedented solvent-dependence of the organolithium reactivity, the key factor in governing selectivity during the flow process. A facile, telescoped three-step-one-flow process for the preparation of ketones in a modular fashion through the in-line generation of organometallic reagents is also established.

- Triazole-gold-promoted, effective synthesis of enones from propargylic esters and alcohols: A catalyst offering chemoselectivity, acidity and ligand economy
-
The air, moisture and thermally stable 1,2,3-triazole coordinated gold(I) complexes (TA-Au) were revealed as the effective catalysts in promoting propargylic ester rearrangement and sequential allene hydration, giving the enones with excellent yields (up to 97% yields, 0.2% loading). The catalysts could also catalyze the more challenging Meyer-Schuster rearrangement (0.5% loading, up to 98% yields). The reported reaction confirmed TA-Au as a chemoselective catalyst in promoting alkyne activation with high efficiency and improved ligand economy. Copyright

- Gold-catalyzed efficient formation of α,β-unsaturated ketones from propargylic acetates
-
An efficient gold-catalyzed method for the preparation of α,β-unsaturated ketones from propargylic acetates has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, β-monosubstituted enones were formed mostly with excellent E-selectivity. β,β-Disubstituted enones can be prepared from propargylic acetates derived from ketones. The high efficiency and mild nature of this reaction render it a viable alternative for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones.

- The regioselective 1,4-addition reaction of alkenylboronic acids to α,β,α′,β′-unsaturated ketones
-
The effect of substituents on the double bond of α,β-unsaturated ketones for the 1,4-addition reaction rate of alkenylboronic acids induced by cyanuric fluoride was studied in detail. When the steric hindrance around the β-carbon of the unsaturated ketones increased, the 1,4-addition reaction rate significantly decreased. An alkyl substituent on the α-carbon was also found to significantly affect the 1,4-addition reaction. From these results, unsymmetric α,β,α′,β′unsaturated ketones (10a-f) were designed for the regioselective 1,4-addition reaction with alkenylboronic acids (4a-j). Since they have substituents to disturb the 1,4-addition reaction on only one double bond, the alkenylboronic acids reacted with them from only one side to selectively provide γ,δ,α′,β′-unsaturated ketones (11a-q). Further transformations of the resulting γ,δ,α′,β′-unsaturated ketones were also performed.

- A Stereoselective Synthesis of (E)-α,β-Unsaturated Ketones Involving the Reactions of Organocerium Reagents with Secondary β-Enamino Ketones
-
Stereoselective construction of trisubstituted alkenes has wide applicability to the synthesis of many natural products.Specifically, β-disubstituted enones are important functionalized trisubstituted alkene targets.The reaction of organocerium reagents with secondary β-enamino ketones affords β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketones in fairly good yields.This process shows considerable stereoselectivity, and α,β-unsaturated ketones of (E) configuration are predominantly observed.Organolithium-derived cerium reagents display better stereoselectivity than organomagnesium-based ones.The mechanism of the reaction varies with nitrogen substitution: N-phenyl groups give 1,2-addition products, whereas substitution products are observed with N-alkyl groups.When organocerium reagents were used with β-enamino ketones bearing secondary alkyl groups at the nitrogen atom, a lack of reactivity was observed. - Keywords: assymetric substitution; cerium reagents; enamino ketones; regioselectivity; synthetic methods

-
The transformation of 36 bis(homoallylic) alcohols VII to alkenones IX and X via β-cleavage of their potassium alkoxides VIIa in HMPA has been investigated (cf.Scheme 2).These studies have established an order of β-cleavage for 2-propenyl, 1-methyl-2-propenyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, 1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl, and benzyl groups in alkoxides 49a-56a and have allowed a comparison between the β-cleavage reaction and the oxy-Cope rearrangement in alkoxides 74a-83a.As illustrative synthetic applications, a two-step preparation of propenyl ketones 15-42 from carboxylic esters is described, together with syntheses of ar-turmerone (48), α-damascone ((E)-71), β-damascone ((E)-109), and β-damascenone ((E)-111).

The 92percent regioselective nucleophilic trans-addition of 2-methyl-2-propanethiol to primary, secondary and tertiary 1-alkyn-3-ols 1, catalyzed by 0.1 equiv. of potassium hydroxide powder, affords good yields of anti-Markownikoff products 2.These compounds 2 can be readily hydrolysed into the corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 7 either by dilute aqueous sulfuric acid or more generally by use of cupric salts in aqueous acetone.The 1-(1',1'-dimethyl ethyl)thio-3-methyl-1(Z)-buten-3-ol 2f treated first with potassium hydride and then with n.butyllithium in THF at -78 deg C, readily furnished the corresponding K(1+) Li(1+) dianion 10f which was treated successfully with some electrophiles: methyl and butyl iodides, trimethylsilyl chloride, dimethyl disulfide and isovaleraldehyde, to afford the alkylated products 11f.The primery and secondary alcohols 2a,c,d gave poor to moderated yields.Some of the alkylated products 11f (R3 = n.C4H9 and Si(CH3)3) were hydrolysed to the corresponding carbonyl compounds 19 by use of methyl iodide in aqueous acetonitrile.The hydroxyl group of compounds 2 is methylated with methyl iodide and sodium hydride to afford the corresponding (Z) methyl ethers 12a-d,f.The isomeric (E)-methyl ether 20a was obtained from the (Z)-propenol derivative 2a by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine at -40 deg C in CH2Cl2 followed by in situ methanolysis.Reaction of the (Z)-alkenols 2b,c,d with trimethyl orthoformate and 10 mole percent trifluoroacetic at 0 deg C furnished readily the pure methoxy-(E)-isomers 20b,c,d.Following a previous communication (21) on the dehydration of compound 2f to the corresponding (E)-isoprenic sulfide, the tertiary alcohol-sulfide 2h is smoothly dehydrated in acidic conditions to afford the (E)-dienic sulfide 23.Finally, the primary and secondary alcohol-sulfides 2a,b,d can be oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds 24a,b,d.
