- METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TERPENOID SYNTHESIS
-
In one aspect, the disclosure relates to methods for preparation of terpene and terpene-like molecules. In a further aspect, the disclosure relates to the products of the disclosed methods, i.e., terpene and terpene-like molecules prepared using the disclosed methods. Intermediates for the synthesis of a wide variety of terpenoids are γ-allyl Knoevenagel adducts or quasi γ-allyl Knoevenagel adducts are disclosed. In various aspects, methods of preparing terpenoids through these intermediates are disclosed. The methods can comprise α-alkylation of an allylic electrophile followed by ring-closure metathesis to a polycyclic terpenoid structure. In a further aspect, the disclosure pertains to terpenoid frameworks, and compounds prepared via disclosed oxidation and substitution reactions on the disclosed terpenoid frameworks. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

- Assembly of Terpenoid Cores by a Simple, Tunable Strategy
-
Oxygenated, polycyclic terpenoid natural products have important biological activities. Although total synthesis of such terpenes is widely studied, synthetic strategies that allow for controlled placement of oxygen atoms and other functionality remains a challenge. Herein, we present a simple, scalable, and tunable synthetic strategy to assemble terpenoid-like polycycloalkanes from cycloalkanones, malononitrile, and allylic electrophiles, abundantly available reagent classes.

- Aqueous DABCO, an efficient medium for rapid organocatalyzed Knoevenagel condensation and the Gewald reaction
-
In the presence of water and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, several aldehydes and cyclic ketones underwent efficient Knoevenagel condensation with malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate to produce the respective α.β-unsaturated systems within fairly short time periods. As a result, high yields of conjugated products were easily obtained. Products could be engaged in a Gewald reaction, either stepwise or in situ, to produce efficiently their respective 2-aminothiophenes within 4-7 h. TUeBITAK.

- Ultrasound promoted synthesis of some novel fused pyrans
-
Novel fused pyrans were synthesized from the reaction of the tetrahydropyran-4-one with arylidine malononitriles. Different fused pyran derivatives were obtained from the mentioned reaction depending on type of catalyst used and type of energy used. Reactions were carried out under silent and ultrasonic conditions. In general, it was found that sometimes ultrasound irradiations change the reaction path in comparing with silent condition. In addition to improvement in reaction times, the products were obtained in high yields and their structures were determined by elemental analyses, spectral data.
