- Selective C-C Bond Cleavage of Cycloalkanones by NaNO2/HCl
-
A novel selective fragmentation of cycloalkanones by NaNO2/HCl has been established. The C-C bond cleavage reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions, selectively affording versatile keto acids or oxime acids. The methodology can streamline the synthesis of valuable chiral molecules and isocoumarins from readily available feedstocks.

- Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkylation of alkenyl- β-keto esters, α-aryl ketones, and alkyl ketones in the presence of Me 3SiCl or HCI
-
Reaction of 3-butenyl β-keto esters or 3-butenyl α-aryl ketones with a catalytic amount of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] (2) and a stoichiometric amount of Me3SiCl or Me3SiCl/ CuCl2 in dioxane at 25-70°C formed 2-substituted cyclohexanones in good yield with high regioselectivity. This protocol tolerated a number of ester and aryl groups and tolerated substitution at the allylic, enolic, and cis and trans terminal olefinic positions. In situ NMR experiments indicated that the chlorosilane was not directly involved in palladium-catalyzed hydroalkylation, but rather served as a source of HCl, which presumably catalyzes enolization of the ketone. Identification of HCl as the active promoter of palladium-catalyzed hydroalkylation led to the development of an effective protocol for the hydroalkylation of alkyl 3-butenyl ketones that employed sub-stoichiometric amounts of 2, HCl, and CuCl2 in a sealed tube at 70°C.

- Reactions of O,O-Diprotonated Nitro Olefins with Benzenes. Formations of Phenylacetones, 4H-1,2-Benzoxazines and Biarylacetone Oximes
-
O,O-Diprotonated nitro olefins undergo three alternative electrophilic reactions which yield α-phenylacetones, 4H-1,2-benzoxazines and biphenylacetone oximes depending on the reaction conditions (temperature and time) and aromatic substrates.Although these reactions are seemingly divergent, a common intermediate of a phenylated protonated aci-nitro species, derived from the dication, is postulated to be involved in the reactions.Furthermore, the formation of benzoxazines and biphenylacetone oximes can be interpreted in terms of participation of novel chemical species with phenylethylene dication character derived from the common intermediate.
