The mechanism associated with the base-promoted conversion of alkoxy-substituted and ring-fused gem-dihalocyclopropanes such as 40 into annulated furans has been explored. Treatment of compound 40 with potassium tert-butoxide affords a mixture of furans 23/27 and 41, an outcome that suggests the intermediacy of the slowly interconverting carbonyl ylides 42 and 43 that undergo rapid [1,5]-electrocyclizations and subsequent dehydrohalogenation to afford the observed products. This proposal is supported by ab initio MO and DFT calculations that also suggest a vinylcarbene insertion pathway is less likely to be operative.

Synthesis of melamine glyoxal resin involves a catalyst-free, one pot reaction between melamine and glyoxal in DMF. The synthesized resins have a similar morphological arrangement to that of layered materials as depicted by their XRD pattern and Raman spectra. The catalytic behavior of melamine glyoxal resin (MGR) have been studied in allylic oxidation of cyclohexene and simultaneous Michael addition. The MGR/solvent/O2 oxidant system can be regarded as a metalfree, additive-free, cost-effective and environmentally benign catalytic system. The oxidative behavior of MGR is attributed to its ability to generate in situ organic peroxide species during the course of reaction. Generation of peroxide species is confirmed by the KI/starch test and further confirmed by the complete suppression effect of TEMPO (2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) over oxidation. The activity for Michael addition can be attributed to the presence of a higher content of nitrogen atoms, which serves as the active site. In oxidation, 28.1% conversion of cyclohexene with 37.19 and 62.81% selectivities for cyclohexenol and cyclohexenone were observed, respectively. In consecutive oxidation and oxy-Michael addition, 31.5% conversion of cyclohexene was observed with selectivities of 61.6% for cyclohexenone and 38.4% for alkoxy product.

We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.
