The cesium (1-Cs, CsPhPAT) and lithium (1-Li, LiPhPAT) enolates of 2,6-diphenyl-α-tetralone, 1, and the lithium enolate (2-Li, LiPhAT) of 2-phenyl-α-tetralone, 2, are present in dilute THF solution as monomers and dimers with K1.2 = 1810 (1-Cs,
Base-controlled chemoselectivity: direct coupling of alcohols and acetonitriles to synthesise α-alkylated arylacetonitriles or acetamides

We achieved chemoselective synthesis of α-alkylated arylacetonitriles and acetamides by combining Ir complex-catalysed direct coupling of alcohols and nitriles by a simple adjustment of the base. Methanol and ethanol performed well as the alkylating reagents. This method of acetonitrile alkylation provided a novel approach for carbon chain extension.

Substituted Hantzsch esters can act as radical reservoirs in photoredox reactions, steadily releasing a carbon radical and a hydrogen atom radical in the absence of an additional electron acceptor. We propose that radical release by substituted Hantzsch esters occurs via a mechanism involving an internal redox cycle. Cinnamidecinnamides, styrenes, α,β-unsaturated acids, and diarylethenes could be alkylated smoothly with these reagents. (Figure presented.).

The chemoselective alkylation and olefination of alkylnitriles with alcohols have been developed by simply controlling the reaction atmosphere. A binuclear rhodium complex catalyzes the alkylation reaction under argon through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway and the olefination reaction under oxygen through aerobic dehydrogenation. Broad substrate scope is demonstrated, permitting the synthesis of some important organic building blocks. Mechanistic studies suggest that the alkylation product may be formed through conjugate reduction of an alkene intermediate by a rhodium hydride, whereas the formation of olefin product may be due to the oxidation of the rhodium hydride complex with molecular oxygen.
Studies in polyphenol chemistry and bioactivity. 2. Establishment of interflavan linkage regio- and stereochemistry by oxidative degradation of an O-alkylated derivative of procyanidin B2 to (R)-(-)-2,4-diphenylbutyric acid

The assignment of interflavan bond regio- and stereochemistry in oligomeric proanthocyanidins has in the past relied on empirical spectroscopic techniques which are influenced by the conformation of the C rings. Only recently was the 4,8-regiochemistry of procyanidin B2 (3b) firmly established by 2-dimensional NMR methods. We describe herein the proof of 4β-stereochemistry in 3b by oxidative degradation of the derivative 3d bearing differential (O-benzyl and O-methyl) protecting groups in its 'top' and 'bottom' epicatechin moieties, to (R)-(-)-2,4-diphenylbutyric acid. The key elements of the degradative process are (1) removal of the C-3 alcohol functions through a modified Barton deoxygenation employing hypophosphorous acid as the reducing agent; (2) deprotection of the 'top' unit by hydrogenolysis, followed by exhaustive aryl triflate formation with N,N-bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)aniline and DBU in DMF; (3) hydrogenolytic deoxygenation of the 'top' unit over Pearlman's catalyst with concomitant scission of the O-C2 bond; (4) selective oxidation of the 'bottom' unit with NaIO4/RuCl3. The hitherto unreported absolute configuration of (-)-2,4-diphenylbutyric acid was established as R by X-ray crystal structure analysis of the (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine salt. As a corollary, the selectivity of hydrogenolytic and solvolytic reactions of epicatechin-derived tetrasulfonates has been investigated.
A novel class of potential central nervous system agents. 3-Phenyl-2-(1-piperazinyl)-5H-1-benzazepines

A series of 3-phenyl-2-piperazinyl-5H-1-benzazepines and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for potential neuroleptic activity. The preparation of these compounds was carried out by 2,3-dichlorination of 3-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benz
