An acetal acylation methodology for producing diversity of trihalomethyl-1,3-dielectrophiles and 1,2-azole derivatives

A series of functionalized 1,1,1-trihalo-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones [CX3C(O)CR1=CROMe, where X = F or Cl; R = n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, n-undecyl, n-tridecyl, (CH2)2CH=C(Me)2, (CH2)2Ph, (CH2)2-(4-HOC6H4), (CH2)2-(4-MeOC6H4), (CH2)2CO2Me, (CH2)3CO2Me, CH(SMe)CH3, CH2(2-MeOC6H4), and R1 = H, and R = H and R1 = n-decyl] were synthesized from respective alkyl methyl ketones or aldehyde via acetal acylation using trifluoroacetic anhydride and trichloroacetyl chloride. 1,1,1-Trihalo-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones with acid-compatible substituents were easily hydrolyzed to respective trihalomethyl-1,3-diketones. The 1,1,1-trihalo-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones and/or respective trihalomethyl-1,3-diketones were reacted regiospecifically with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, leading to isoxazole derivatives, and with hydrazines, leading to respective 1H-pyrazole derivatives. The structures of all compounds were assigned based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometric data. This method represents an efficient pathway for the regioselective trihaloacetylation of asymmetrically substituted alkyl methyl ketones and highly self-condensing aldehydes. Moreover, this approach allows the introduction of biologically recognizable moieties, such as those from levulinic acid, sulcatone (prenyl), benzylacetone, anisylacetone, and raspberry ketone, as synthetic molecular targets.

Hexameric resorcinarene capsule is a bronsted acid: Investigation and application to synthesis and catalysis

Molecular capsules have attracted interest as simple enzyme mimetics and several examples of catalytic transformations in water-soluble metal-ligand based systems have been reported. This is not the case for hydrogen-bond based molecular capsules, which in contrast can be employed in organic solvents. We describe herein our investigations of such a system: The resorcin[4]arene hexamer is one of the largest hydrogen bond-based self-assembled capsules and has been studied intensively due to its ready availability. We present evidence that the capsule acts as a reasonably strong Bronsted acid (pK a approximately 5.5-6). This finding explains the capsule's high affinity toward tertiary amines that are protonated and therefore encounter cation-π interactions inside the cavity. We were able to translate this finding into a first synthetic application: A highly substrate-selective Wittig reaction. We also report that this property renders the capsule an efficient enzyme-like catalyst for substrate selective diethyl acetal hydrolysis.

Direct conversion of acetals to esters with high regioselectivity via O,P-acetals

A new direct conversion of O,O-acetals to esters via O,P-acetal intermediates was developed. The regioselective cleavage of unsymmetrical cyclic acetals occurred to give the more crowded esters as single isomers.
