Shikonin and its O-acyl derivatives are attracting increasing levels of attention among medicinal chemists due to their potencies as highly selective cytotoxic agents against cancer cells. However, providing a large number of shikonin-related samples by organic synthesis remains challenging. In the present study, we developed an improved and practical synthesis route to shikonin derivatives by olefin metathesis that has enabled the gram-scale preparation of a prenylated tetramethylnaphthazaline, a key intermediate in the synthesis of shikonin. In addition, a method for the selective cleavage of the acyl protecting groups at the phenolic positions of tri-O-acylated shikonins has been developed that provides concise routes to diverse O-acylshikonin derivatives.

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric aldehyde prenylation has been established using an α,α-dimethyl allyl boronic ester. The transformation provides expedient access to a wide array of aryl, heteroaryl, aryl-substituted alkenyl and primary and sec

Abstract A novel highly regioselective, fluoride-catalyzed hydrosilylation of β-hydroxy epoxides has been developed. The reaction is modular and applicable to the synthesis of a broad range of 1,4-diols. Fluoride is crucial for two reasons: First, it promotes the formation of a silyl ether (which contains a Si-H bond) and, second, it enables ring opening by an intramolecular SN2 reaction through activation of the silane. The reaction can be performed under air. A modular, convergent, and stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-diols by epoxide hydrosilylation has been developed (see scheme). The reaction occurs under fluoride catalysis, is high yielding, highly regioselective, and can be carried out on a large scale.

Titanocene carboxylate 1 is an excellent chemoselective reagent for unprecedented α-regioselective Barbier-type reactions. It constitutes the first titanocene(iii) able to tolerate epoxides and readily reduced carbonyl compounds, such as aromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Prins cyclization of α-bromoethers under basic conditions

α-Bromoethers have been found to undergo Prins-type cyclization under basic conditions and without the need to add a promoter. The products are those derived from a Markovnikov addition on the pendant alkene. However, the stereochemistry and even the structure of the products sometimes differ from those expected with the classical Lewis-acid-catalyzed Prins reaction of acetals.

Product selectivity control based on a liquid-liquid parallel laminar flow has been successfully demonstrated by using a microreactor. Our electrochemical microreactor system enables regioselective cross-coupling reaction of aldehyde with allylic chloride via chemoselective cathodic reduction of substrate by the combined use of suitable flow mode and corresponding cathode material. The formation of liquid-liquid parallel laminar flow in the microreactor was supported by the estimation of benzaldehyde diffusion coefficient and computational fluid dynamics simulation. The diffusion coefficient for benzaldehyde in Bu4NClO4-HMPA medium was determined to be 1.32 × 10-7 cm2 s-1 by electrochemical measurements, and the flow simulation using this value revealed the formation of clear concentration gradient of benzaldehyde in the microreactor channel over a specific channel length. In addition, the necessity of the liquid-liquid parallel laminar flow was confirmed by flow mode experiments.

New and stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted buten-4-ols (homoallylic alcohol α-adducts) from the corresponding γ-isomers (3,4-disubstituted buten-4-ols) via an acid-catalyzed allyl-transfer reaction with aldehydes

The γ-adducts of homoallylic alcohols 3, derived from aldehydes via the usual reaction with common allylic metals 1, were converted to the corresponding α-adducts 6 by an acid-catalyzed allyl-transfer reaction. In the allyl-transfer reaction, anti-and syn
Solvolysis of 1-[trans-2-(m- Orp-Substituted Phenyl)cyclopropyl]- 1-methylethyl p-Nitrobenzoates

The solvolyses of 1-[trans-2-(m- or p-substituted phenyl)cyclopropyl]-1-methylethyl p-nitrobenzoates in 80% aqueous acetone have been studied with regard to both reactivity and product composition. For the less reactive substituents such as m-Br, m-Cl, and m-CF3, the solvolysis products were the corresponding 2-(2-arylcyclopropyl)-2-propanol, indicating the cyclopropylmethyl cation intermediate. The ring-opened products increased as the electron-donating ability of the substituents increased. The application of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation to the reactivity afforded a ρ value of -1.43 and r value of 0.59 with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. A large value of r indicates the presence of the allylic cation intermediate where much more charge develops at the benzylic carbon for the derivatives with electron-donating substituents than is the case for the cyclopropylmethyl cation intermediate. Thus the solvolysis reaction proceeds via two independent pathways: one has a cyclopropyl cation intermediate and the other has a homoallylic cation intermediate.
