A flow method for the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic diazoketones from acyl chloride precursors has been developed and used to prepare quinoxalines in a multistep sequence without isolation of the potentially explosive diazoketone. The protocol showcases an efficient in-line purification using supported scavengers with time-saving and safety benefits and in particular a reduction in the operator's exposure to carcinogenic phenylenediamines.

Intramolecular cyclopropanation of alkenyl α-diazoacetates and alkenyl diazomethyl ketones was examined by using optically active (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) and Co(II)(salen) complexes as catalysts. For the cyclization of 2-alkenyl α-diazoacetates, Co(II)(salen) complexes 9 and 10 were found to be superior catalysts to the corresponding (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) complexes 4 and 5. On the other hand, (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) complex 2 was found to be the catalyst of choice for the cyclization of 3-alkenyl diazomethyl ketones, and complex 4 was found to be a good catalyst for the cyclization of (E)-4-alkenyl diazomethyl ketones. The present study demonstrates that metallosalen complexes, especially optically active (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) and Co(II)(salen) complexes, can serve as efficient catalysts for the cyclization of alkenyl diazocarbonyl compounds, if a suitable salen ligand is used as the chiral auxiliary.
Nitroxyl radical reactions with 4-pentenyl- and cyclopropylketenes: New routes to 5-hexenyl- and cyclopropylmethyl radicals

4-Pentenylketenes 4a and 9 and cyclopropylketenes 3a, 13, 14 (RCH=C=O) are generated by photochemical Wolff rearrangements and observed by IR as relatively long-lived species at room temperature in hydrocarbon solvents. The reactions of these ketenes with the nitroxyl radicals tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO, TO?) and tetramethylisoindoline-2-oxyl (TMIO, IO?) form carboxy substituted 5-hexenyl and cyclopropylmethyl radicals which are either trapped by a second nitroxyl radical or undergo rearrangements followed by trapping. The rate constant of the reaction of 4a with TEMPO was similar to that of n-BuCH=C=O (1b), while 3a was 4.3 times more reactive, indicating cyclopropyl stabilization of the incipient radical.
