Mild zinc-promoted Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions of diprotic phosphonate reagents

We report the development of a mild protocol for the Horner-Wadsworth- Emmons reaction of diprotic phosphonates that makes use of a zinc triflate promoter in the presence of mild ter-tiary amine bases to produce α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and amides. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Meta, para and ortho double exo nucleophilic additions of trimethylsilylester enolates derived from saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids to tricarbonylchromium complexes of aryl ethers: dearomatizing cyclization to lactones

Potassium enolates derived from saturated and unsaturated bis(trimethylsilyl) ketene acetals react with tricarbonylchromium complexes of anisole and diphenylether to give, in addition to α-arylcarboxylic acids, the mono addutcts, lactones, arising from a double exo nucleophilic addition. The latter were not observed in the case of benzenetricarbonylchromium. The intermediate dienol ethers could be isolated and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography. The influenece of the nature of the substituents on the ketene acetals, of the nature of the oxidant, and of the nature of the ester enolates on the course of the reaction has been established and will be discussed.

SiO2 catalysed expedient synthesis of [E]-3-alkenoic acids in dry media

Aliphatic aldehydes with α-hydrogens and malonic acid undergo decarboxylative condensation on the surface of SiO2 when subjected to microwave irradiation generating βγ-unsaturated acids in high yields.
