Mechanism and scope of the cyanide-catalyzed cross silyl benzoin reaction
Linghu, Xin,Bausch, Cory C.,Johnson, Jeffrey S.
, p. 1833 - 1840 (2007/10/03)
In this work, cross silyl benzoin addition reactions between acylsilanes (1) and aldehydes (2) catalyzed by metal cyanides are described. Unsymmetrical aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkyl-substituted benzoin adducts can be generated in moderate to excellent yie
A new photochemical route to cyclopropanes
Wessig, Pablo,Muehling, Olaf
, p. 1064 - 1065 (2007/10/03)
Especially highly substituted cyclopropanes can be produced with a new photochemical approach. Starting with aromatic ketones that bear a leaving group adjacent to the carbonyl carbon atom, photolysis leads to the formation of 1,3-diradicals, which efficiently cyclize to cyclopropanes (see scheme; Ms=MeSO2).
ADDITION OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS TO O-TRIMETHYLSILYLATED CYANOHYDRINS: SYNTHESIS OF ACYLOINS
Krepski, Larry R.,Heilmann, Steven M.,Rasmussen, Jerald K.
, p. 4075 - 4078 (2007/10/02)
Grignard reagents have been found to react readily with O-trimethylsilylated cyanohydrins to afford, after acid hydrolysis of intermediates, good yields of acyloins.
