High-valent metalloporphyrin, Fe(tpp)OTf, catalyzed rearrangement of α,β-epoxy ketones into 1,2-diketones

Iron(III) tetraphenylporphyrin triflate, Fe(tpp)OTf, works as an efficient and characteristic Lewis acid catalyst in the selective rearrangement of α,β-epoxy ketones into 1,2-diketones.

Room-Temperature Coupling/Decarboxylation Reaction of α-Oxocarboxylates with α-Bromoketones: Solvent-Controlled Regioselectivity for 1,2- and 1,3-Diketones

A transition-metal-free and room-temperature coupling/decarboxylation reaction between α-oxocarboxylates and α-bromoketones is reported herein. It represents the first mild and regioselective synthesis of either 1,2- or 1,3-diketones from the same starting materials. Notably, the regioselectivity is simply controlled by solvents. The preliminary experimental data and DFT calculations suggest sequential Darzens-type coupling, alkaline hydrolysis, KOH-promoted oxirane opening and decarboxylation in one pot. This method is efficient for the synthesis of α,β-epoxy-γ-butyrolactone and curcuminoids.

Efficient epoxide isomerization within a self-assembled hexameric organic capsule

The isomerization of epoxides to the corresponding carbonyl compounds is efficiently catalyzed by the supramolecular organic nano-capsule formed by the self-assembly of six resorcin[4]arene units. The capsule provides a combination of weak Br?nsted acidity and a suitable nano-environment that favors the metal-free isomerization reaction.

Enantioselective aerobic oxidation of α-hydroxy-ketones catalyzed by oxidovanadium(V) methoxides bearing chiral, N-salicylidene- tert -butylglycinates

Chiral oxidovanadium(V) methoxides prepared from 3,5-disubstituted-N- salicylidene-l-tert-butylglycines and vanadyl sulfate in air-saturated MeOH serve as highly enantioselective catalysts for asymmetric aerobic oxidations and kinetic resolution of alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl α-hydroxy-ketones with differed α-substituents at ambient temperature in toluene or TBME (tert-butyl methyl ether). The best scenarios involve the use of complexes which bear the tridendate templates derived from 3,5-diphenyl- or 3-o-biphenyl-5-nitro-salicyaldehyde. The kinetic resolution selectivities of the aerobic oxidation process are in the range of 12 to >1000 based on the selectivity factors (krel).

Facile preparation of 1,2-diketones

Easily accessible lead-like libraries of heterocyclic molecules useful for high-throughput screening are of continuous interest to the pharmaceutical industry. A number of drug-like libraries are derived from aromatic 1,2-diketones; however, nonsymmetrical 1,2-diketones are challenging to prepare. This communication describes a simple and practical synthesis of 1,2-diketones based on a controlled cross benzoin-like condensation reaction. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Synthesis of 1,2-diketones by the transition metal-catalyst-free reaction of α-oxo acid chlorides or oxalyl chloride with organostannanes

(Chemical Equation Presented) The reaction of an α-oxo acid chloride with an organostannane proceeds transition metal-catalyst-free to afford a 1,2-diketone in an excellent yield. In addition, a sequence comprising pretreatment of oxalyl chloride with an

Synthesis of α-diketones from α,β-dihydroxy ketones

Treatment of α,β-dihydroxy ketones with carbonyldiimidazole resulted in the formation of α-diketones based on the elimination of the cyclic carbonates formed in situ.

Silica gel catalysed rearrangement of α-epoxyketones to 1,2-diketones

A convenient and simple method for the preparation of diphenylpropane-1,2-diones is described. The process involves rearrangement of α-epoxyketones on silica gel; an unusual migration of a proton instead of the more common benzoyl migration.

DICHLORODIISOPROPOXYTITANIUM - A CONVENIENT REAGENT FOR THE SELECTIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OF α,β-EPOXYCARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Depending on the structure and the reaction conditions, α,β-epoxycarbonyl compounds isomerize selectively in the presence of dichlorodiisopropoxytitanium to α-diketones or undergo nucleophilic cleavage with the formation of the corresponding hydroxychloro ketones.
