A VERSATILE ACCESS TO UNSYMMETRICAL AND SYMMETRICAL α-DIKETONES VIA ORGANOTIN REAGENTS

Unsymmetrical α-diketones have been obtained via cross coupling of acyltins with acyl halides under PdCl2(PPh3)2 catalysis while symmetrical α-diketones have been readily obtained via "in situ" formation of acyltins using hexabutylditin and acyl chlorides under similar experimental conditions.

METAL-HALOGEN EXCHANGE-INITIATED CYCLIZATION OF IODO CARBONYL COMPOUNDS

The feasability of constructing carbocycles through the metal-halogen exchange-initiated cyclization reactions of iodoketones and other carboxyl derivatives has been studied.With saturated primary iodides, cyclization predominates when deactivated ketones are employed.

2-Alkylbenzoxazoles 1 undergo clean Claisen-type self-condensation upon treatment with n-BuMgBr and quenching with aqueous NH4Cl to give 5.In contrast, quenching of the reaction with aqueous HCl furnishes quite good yields of the benzoxazolylalkyl alkyl ketones 8.

GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE OPENING OF THE OXIRANE RING DURING CLEAVAGE OF GLYCIDIC ACIDS

By investigation of the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxy derivatives of acids with various structures it was shown that contrary to the existing theory about the essential opening of the β (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring there are many structural types of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids, in which opening of the α (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring occurs during decarboxylation.It was also shown that these two possible reaction paths can also arise during the decarboxylation of one 2,3-epoxypropionic acid.On the basis of the obtained data a general relationship is developed for theopening of the oxirane ring during the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids with any structure, and this makes it possible to predict the structure of the obtained carbonyl compound.
