THE MICHAEL REACTION OF SIMPLE ESTER ENOLATES TO α,β-UNSATURATED ESTERS

Lithium enolates generated from simple esters are found readily to add to α,β-unsaturated esters at -78 deg C and glutarates are obtained in high yield.

PROCESS FOR DOUBLE CARBONYLATION OF ALLYL ALCOHOLS TO CORRESPONDING DIESTERS

The invention relates to a process for doubly carbonylating allyl alcohols to the corresponding diesters, wherein a linear or branched allyl alcohol is reacted with a linear or branched alkanol (alcohol) with supply of CO and in the presence of a catalytic system composed of a palladium complex and at least one organic phosphorus ligand and in the presence of a hydrogen halide selected from HCl, HBr and HI.

Palladium complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as catalysts for the alkoxycarbonylation of olefins

Palladium catalysts, generated from Pd(OAc)2 and 2 equiv of N,N-dialkylbenzimidazolium iodide, are effective for the alkoxycarbonylation of olefins in high yields (>90%). Alkoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene in dimethylacetamide is achieved within 24 h at 110 C using 1 mol % catalyst, 1000 psi CO, and ethanol. Reactions can be prepared in air, without the need of an acid additive to produce ethyl 2-methylhexanoate and ethyl heptanoate in approximately a 2:1 ratio.

Electrochemical deacetylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Mild deacetylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was achieved by halonium-ion mediated electrolysis. In this reaction, the supporting electrolyte including sodium halide NaX (X = Cl or Br) was essential since the reaction proceeded through substitution by a halonium ion, generated electrochemically at anode, on active methine carbons followed by base-aitalyzed deacctylation, and was terminated by reductive dehalogenation of the formed α-halo carbonyl compounds at cathode.

The Circular Dichroism of (-)-(S)-3-Methylthian: a Study of the Electronic Transitions and Stereochemistry of Cyclic Sulphur Derivatives

The u.v. and c.d. spectra of (-)-(S)-3-methylthian and the u.v., l.d., and m.c.d. spectra of thian have been analysed by means of non-empirical MO calculations.While the n?* assignment of the transition at ca. 232 nm is confirmed, the absorption at ca. 214 nm is assigned to a ??* (A1A1) transition.The stereochemistry of cyclic sulphur derivatives is discussed in the light of a symmetry rule previously proposed.
