Formation of δ-lactones is observed when cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates are converted in a cerium-catalyzed reaction with α-aryl vinyl acetates under oxidative conditions. The products of this transformation possess a 1,4-dicarbonyl constitution together with a quaternary carbon center. Atmospheric oxygen is the oxidant in this process, which can be regarded as ideal from economic and ecological points of view. Further advantages of this new C-C coupling and oxidation reaction are its operational simplicity and the application of nontoxic and inexpensive CeCl3·7 H2O as precatalyst. This so far unprecedented reaction is proposed to proceed via 1,2-dioxane derivatives, which decompose under formation of an oxycarbenium cation in a Baeyer-Villiger-type pathway. This mechanistic picture is supported by the observation that electron-rich (donor substituted or heteroaromatic) enol esters give higher yields than electron deficient congeners. Apart from 1,4-diketones and α-hydroxylated β-oxoesters formed as byproducts, the yields of δ-lactones range from moderate to good (up to 74%).

Cyclic β-oxo esters are converted with enol acetates in a cerium-catalyzed, oxidative Umpolung reaction to furnish 1,4-diketones with up to 95 % yield. Atmospheric oxygen is the oxidant in this process, which can be regarded as ideal from economic and ecological points of view. Further advantages of this new C-C coupling reaction are its operational simplicity and the application of nontoxic and inexpensive CeCl3·7H2O as precatalyst.

1,4-Diketones were prepared by cerium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of styrene with molecular oxygen and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This two-step sequence was performed as a one-pot procedure without isolation of the intermediate products. The first step is

3H-Pyrrole-3-carboxylic esters (4) have been prepared, in some cases together with isomers (5) and (6) having exocyclic double bonds, by cyclization of suitably substituted 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-diketones (1) with liquid ammonia, followed by dehydration of the isolable 2-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole intermediates (2) and (3) with aluminia in boiling solvents.Prolonged heating in toluene or p-xylene converts the 3H-pyrroles (4) quantitatively into isomeric 4-esters (11) and N-esters (13) of 1H-pyrroles via competitive sigmatropic rearrangements.Isolable intermediate 2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic esters (12) are converted similarly into the same products, under the same conditions.Detection of 3H-pyrroles (4) as intermediates in the latter reaction demonstrates for the first time the reversibility of the thermal 2H-pyrrole to 3H-pyrrole interconversion.
