Phosphine-initiated general base catalysis: Facile access to benzannulated 1,3-diheteroatom five-membered rings via double-Michael reactions of allenes

General base-catalyzed double-Michael reactions of allenes with various dinucleophiles are described. The reactions are facilitated most efficiently by a catalytic amount of trimethylphosphine, affording six types of C2-functionalized benzannulated five-m

Montmorillonite clay catalysis. Part 14. A facile synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-benzodioxoles

A series of 2-substituted and 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-benzodioxoles have been synthesised by reaction of catechol and pyrogallol with corresponding aldehydes and ketones catalysed by montmorillonite KSF or K-10. The reactions are completed within 2.7-24 h to give satisfactory yields. Ketones give better yields than aldehydes, although highly sterically hindered ketones and diaryl ketones fail to react at all.
