Regioselection in the synthesis of 4-benzyltetral-1-ones and the new 4-arylbenzosuber-1-ones

The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4,5-diarylpentanoic acids has the possibility to cyclise to either a 6-membered ring to give 4-benzyltetral-1-one or a 7-membered ring to give 4-arylbenzosuber-1-one. Of these, only the former compound class has previously been reported. The impact of the substituents positioning on the outcome of the cyclisation has been investigated. The complete formation of either the tetralone or the benzosuberone regioisomer was possible under the same reaction conditions, dependent upon the ring activation and/or deactivation of the chosen substituents. Selected bromo or methoxy substituents could be used as auxiliaries, included in precursors to afford the desired regioisomer and then subsequently removed.

The marine transaminase, P-ω-TA, can be employed for the transamination from 1-aminotetralins and 1-aminoindanes with differentiation of stereochemistry at both the site of reaction and at a remote stereocentre resulting in formation of ketone products with up to 93% ee. While 4-substituents are tolerated on the tetralin core, the presence of 3- or 8-substituents is not tolerated by the transaminase. In general P-ω-TA shows capacity for remote diastereoselectivity, although both the stereoselectivity and efficiency are dependent on the specific substrate structure. Optimum efficiency and selectivity are seen with 4-haloaryl-1-aminotetralins and 3-haloaryl-1-aminoindanes, which may be associated with the marine origin of this enzyme. This journal is
Oxime derivatives as α-electrophiles. from α-tetralone oximes to tetracyclic frameworks
Quiclet-Sire, Beatrice,Toelle, Nina,Zafar, Syeda Nahid,Zard, Samir Z.

When subjected to the conditions of a Semmler-Wolff/Schroeter aromatization, the oximes of 4-benzyl-substituted tetralones undergo an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction to form tetracyclic frameworks.
