Access to α,α-dihaloacetophenones through anodic C[dbnd]C bond cleavage in enaminones

We have developed a method to synthesize α,α-dihaloketones under electrochemical conditions. In this reaction, the Cl- or Br- is oxidized to Cl2 or Br2 at the anode, which undergoes two-step addition reactions with the N,N-dimethyl enaminone, and finally breaks C[dbnd]C of the N,N-dimethyl enaminone to generate α,α-dihaloketones. The electrosynthesis reaction can be conveniently carried out in an undivided electrolytic cell at room temperature. In addition, various functional groups are compatible with this green protocol which can be applied simultaneously to the gram scale without significantly lower yield.

Solvent-free preparation of α,α-dichloroketones with sulfuryl chloride

An efficient and facile method is reported for the synthesis of a series of α,α-dichloroketones. The direct dichlorination of methyl ketones and 1,3-dicarbonyls using an excess amount of sulfuryl chloride affords the corresponding gem-dichloro compounds in moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, the protocol features high yields, broad substrate scope, and simple reaction conditions without using any catalysts and solvents.

Dichloroacetophenones targeting at pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 with improved selectivity and antiproliferative activity: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships

Dichloroacetophenone is a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) inhibitor with suboptimal kinase selectivity. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel dichloroacetophenones. Structure-activity relationship analyses (SARs) enabled us to identify three potent compounds, namely 54, 55, and 64, which inhibited PDK1 function, activated pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced the proliferation of NCI-H1975 cells. Mitochondrial bioenergetics assay suggested that 54, 55, and 64 enhanced the oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells, which might contribute to the observed anti-proliferation effects. Collectively, these results suggested that 54, 55, and 64 could be promising compounds for the development of potent PDK1 inhibitors.

A simple, mild, and efficient method for the preparation of α,α-dichloroketones with DCDMH catalyzed by ammonium chloride

New process that can selectively prepare α,α-dichloro ketones from various ketones with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) using ammonium chloride as a catalyst is reported. The effects of ammonium salts, solvents, DCDMH, and reaction temperature were investigated. Under the optimal condition, most of α,α-dichlorinated products were selectively obtained in 86-98% yield.

Bronsted acidic ionic liquid accelerated halogenation of organic compounds with N-halosuccinimides (NXS)

The Bronsted-Acidic ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl) imidazolium triflate [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf] was demonstrated to act efficiently as solvent and catalyst for the halogenation of activated organic compounds with N-halosuccinimides (NXS) under mild conditions with short reaction times. Methyl aryl ketones were converted into a-halo and a,a-dihaloketones, depending on the quantity of NXS used. Ketones with activated aromatic rings were selectively halogenated, however in some cases mixtures of a-halogenated ketone and ring-halogenated ketones were obtained. Activated aromatics were regioselectively ring halogenated to give mono- and dihalo-substituted products. The [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf] ionic liquid (IL-A) was successfully reused eight times in a representative monohalogenation reaction with no noticeable decrease in efficiency. An effective halogenation scale-up in this IL is also presented. The reactivity trend and the observed chemo- and regioselectiivities point to an ET process in these IL-promoted halofunctionalization reactions.

[Cu(dap)2Cl] as an efficient visible-light-driven photoredox catalyst in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions

Copper sees the light of day: [Cu(dap)2Cl] proved to be an excellent photoredox catalyst for atom-transfer radical addition reactions, as well as for allylation reactions (see scheme), providing an attractive alternative to commonly used iridium- and ruthenium-based catalysts. Copyright

A convenient and efficient synthesis of 1-aryl-2,2-dichloroethanones

1-Arylethanones are readily chlorinated with an aqueous HCl-H 2O2 system using ethanol as a cosolvent. The reaction prceeds rapidly and results in selective conversion of 1-arylethanones into 1-aryl-2,2-dichloroethanones in yields of 48-89%, depending on the nature of the substituent in the aryl group.

Reactions of 1-aryl-2,2-dihalogenoethanone oximes with tetrasulfur tetranitride (S4N4): A general method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-4-halogeno-1,2,5-thiadiazoles

1-Aryl-2,2-dichloro-7, 1-aryl-2,2-dibromo-8, 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-fluoro-9 and 1-aryl-2-chloro-2-fluoroethanone oximes 10 have been prepared by allowing the corresponding ketones to react with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in EtOH at room temperature. Stereoche

Halogenated 4'-methoxyacetophenones as microbicides and preservatives

Halogenated 4'-methoxyacetophenones of formula I: STR1 wherein X is a halogen; Y is a halogen; and n is 1 or 2 as microbicides for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems and on surfaces, as well as for inhibiting slime formation in aqueous systems and biocidal compositions containing effective amounts of the halogenated 4'-methoxyacetophenones.

Rearrangement of 1-Aryl-2,2-dihalo-1-alkanones

Reaction of 1-aryl-2,2-dichloro-1-alkanones with alkoxides in the corresponding alcohol afforded a mixture of 1-aryl-2,2-dialkoxy-1-alkanones and 1-aryl-1,1-dialkoxy-2-alkanones.The mechanism was shown to proceed via α-chloro-α'-alkoxy epoxides, which rearranged into 1-alkoxy-1-aryl-1-chloro-2-alkanones, the latter giving the final compounds via either another epoxide intermediate or a solvolysis mechanism. α,α-Dibromo- and α-bromo-α-chloroalkyl aryl ketones behaved analogously, but α-bromo-α-fluoro- and α-chloro-α-fluoroalkyl aryl ketones gave exclusively solvolysis of initially formed 1-alkoxy-1-aryl-1-fluoro-2-alkanones, resulting in rearranged 1-aryl-1,1-dialkoxy-2-alkanones. α,α-Difluoroalkyl aryl ketones did not rearrange but underwent reduction of the carbonyl function on treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol.The influence of varying factors, such as the steric requirements of the alkoxide and the substrate, the concentration of the alkoxide, the aromatic substituent, the temperature, and the halogens, was investigated and correlated to the mechanism involved.
