The chemoselectivity in the reaction of 2-diazo-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanal (1) with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of Et3N was investigated. The results indicate that 1 reacts with aromatic aldehydes with weak electron-donating substituents and cyclic ketones under formation of 6-phenyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one derivatives. However, it reacts with aromatic aldehydes with electron-withdrawing substituents to yield 1,3-diaryl-3-hydroxypropan-1-ones, accompanied by chalcone derivatives in some cases. It did not react with linear ketones, aliphatic aldehydes, and aromatic aldehydes with strong electron-donating substituents. A mechanism for the formation of 1,3-diaryl-3-hydroxypropan-1-ones and chalcone derivatives is proposed. We also tried to react 1 with other unsaturated compounds, including various olefins and nitriles, and cumulated unsaturated compounds, such as N,N′-dialkylcarbodiimines, phenyl isocyanate, isothiocyanate, and CS2. Only with N,N′-dialkylcarbodiimines, the expected cycloaddition took place. Copyright

A three-component reaction of alkenes, aldehydes, and hydroperoxides catalyzed by FeCl2 to β-peroxy ketones has been achieved. This three-component reaction can be also applied to the synthesis of α-carbonyl epoxides, through either a stepwise base-induced epoxidation of the separated β-peroxy ketone products or a one-pot process by simply adding base to the reaction mixture after the completion of the three-component reaction.
