- Small-scale procedure for acid-catalyzed ketal formation
-
A modified procedure for dehydrative ketal protections is disclosed, which serves as an alternative to the classic Dean-Stark protocol. Studies show that this new procedure can outperform the Dean-Stark apparatus on small scales and thus serves as a complementary approach to effect dehydrative ketalizations. A detailed procedure for this apparatus is presented.

- Synthesis of ACE tricyclic systems of daphnicyclidin A and dehy-droxymacropodumine A
-
The synthesis of the ACE tricyclic system of daphnicyclidin A and dehydroxymacropodumine A are developed. The key reactions include an efficient aldol reaction to introduce chiral fragment 33 for further construction of piperidine ring B and seven-membered ring C, a nucleophilic addition of lithium pentene to aldehyde for installation of ring E, and a photocatalytic decarboxylation conjugate addition to construct ring C.

- Palladium-catalyzed trimerization of strained cycloalkynes: Synthesis of decacyclene
-
Palladium-catalyzed cyclotrimerization was applied to three strained cycloalkynes. Pd(PPh3)4 and Pt(PPh3)4-catalyzed cyclotrimerizations of cyclohexyne (2) afforded dodecahydrotriphenylene (3) in 64% and 62% yields, respectively, but subjecting cyclopentyne to the same conditions failed to afford isolable amounts of the cyclotrimer. Finally, decacyclene (15), a putative C60-fullerene precursor, was obtained in 23% yield by Pd2(dba)3-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of acenaphthyne (14).

- A Convenient Procedure for the Synthesis of Acetals from α-Halo Ketones
-
A study for determining the scope and limitations of a procedure for synthesising ethylene acetals from haloketones is presented. The method uses 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)ethane, BTSE, as reagent and Nafion-TMS as catalyst. Two procedures have been tested: (A) stoichiometric amounts of the haloketone and BTSE and a catalytic amount of Nafion-TMS were heated to reflux in chloro-form solution, and (B) stoichiometric amounts of the reactants and a catalytic amount of Nafion-TMS were heated to 90-100°C in the absence of solvent. The following ketones have been tested: 2-bromo-1-phenyl-1-ethanone, 2-bromo-cyclopentenone, 3-bromo-3-methyl-2-butanone, 3-chloro-3-methyl-2-butanone, 1-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 1-chloro-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 2-bromocyclohexanone, 2-chloro-1-cyclohexyl-1-ethanone, 1,1-dibromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 1,3-dibromo-3-methyl-2-butanone, 1,3-dibromo-2-butanone, 1,3-dibromo-2-propanone, 2-chloro-1-phenyl-1-ethanone, and endo-2-bromocamphor. Yields were in the range 57-100% with the exceptions of endo-2-bromocamphor which afforded 10% yield and the dibromoketones 1,1-dibromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone and 1,3-dibromo-3-methyl-2-butanone for which the method failed. Factors determining the scope and limitations are briefly discussed. Full experimental details and spectroscopic data of the acetals are given.

- Highly Selective Methods for α-Alkenylation and α-Arylation of Ketones via Palladium- or Nickel-Catalyzed Cross Coupling
-
Two procedures for α-alkenylation and α-arylation of ketones, that permit, for the first time, introduction of a stereo-defined alkenyl group (E or Z) in the α-position of cyclic ketones in high yields with essentially complete retention (>98percent) of the alkenyl stereochemistry are reported.Furthermore, the one that is represented by Eq.2 permits complete control of regiochemistry as well.
