Catalytic c-c cleavage/alkyne-carbonyl metathesis sequence of cyclobutanones

A ring-opening/alkyne-carbonyl metathesis sequence of alkyne-tethered cyclobutanones catalyzed by AgSbF6 is realized for the first time to furnish multisubstituted naphthyl ketones under mild conditions. A range of substrates decorated with various substituents at different positions were all well accommodated. Preliminary mechanistic studies show that silver salt acted as a Lewis acid to facilitate both C-C cleavage of the cyclobutanone moiety and the subsequent metathesis between C═O and CC bonds.

Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase-catalyzed desymmetrizations of cyclobutanones. Application to the synthesis of valuable spirolactones

A series of γ-butyrolactone derivatives, including some spiranic ones, was obtained through desymmetrization of the corresponding prochiral 3-substituted cyclobutanones via Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed oxidation. After reaction optimization using several commercial enzymes, both antipodes of various lactones were synthesized in most cases with >90% conversion and >80% enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions. In some cases alcohol formation was also observed (up to 40% conversion) as an undesired side reaction due to the presence of alcohol dehydrogenases in these preparations. Selected transformations were achieved on a 100 mg scale showing the possibilities of these oxidative biocatalysts as a new source of highly interesting compounds.

Lactonization reactions through hydrolase-catalyzed peracid formation. Use of lipases for chemoenzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidations of cyclobutanones

A one-pot chemoenzymatic method has been described for the synthesis of γ-butyrolactones starting from the corresponding ketones through a Baeyer-Villiger reaction. The approach is based on a lipase-catalyzed perhydrolysis for the formation of peracetic acid, which is the responsible for the ketone oxidation. Optimization studies have been performed in the oxidation of cyclobutanone, finding Candida antarctica lipase type B, ethyl acetate and urea-hydrogen peroxide complex as the best system. The relative ratio of these reagents has also been analyzed in depth. This synthetic approach has been successfully extended to a family of 3-substituted cyclobutanones in high substrate concentration, yielding the corresponding lactones with excellent isolated yields and purities, under mild reaction conditions and after a simple extraction protocol.

Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Cyclobutanones with 10-Methylacridinium as an Efficient Organocatalyst

Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclobutanones is achieved in current developed protocol with 10-methylacridinium perchlorate (AcrH +ClO4-) as a novel organocatalyst both with irradiation at room temperature and without irradiation at elevated temperature. Excellent yields of the corresponding lactones are obtained and the possible mechanism has been proposed.

Enantioselective baeyer-villiger oxidation catalyzed by palladium(II) complexes with chiral P,N-ligands

(Chemical Equation Presented) Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger reaction of symmetrical cyclobutanones 1a-j with urea-hydrogen peroxide (UHP) can be catalyzed by a complex of Pd(II) and the new terpene-derived P,N-ligand 7. The resulting lactones 2a-j were obtained in high yields and with good enantioselectivity (≤81% ee).
