Tropylium-promoted Ritter reactions

The Ritter reaction used to be one of the most powerful synthetic tools to functionalize alcohols and nitriles, providing valuableN-alkyl amide products. However, this reaction has not been frequently used in modern organic synthesis due to its employment of strongly acidic and harsh reaction conditions, which often lead to complicated side reactions. Herein, we report the development of a new method using salts of the tropylium ion to promote the Ritter reaction. This method works well on a range of alcohol and nitrile substrates, giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This reaction protocol is amenable to microwave and continuous flow reactors, offering an attractive opportunity for further applications in organic synthesis.
Visible-light-mediated achmatowicz rearrangement

Visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis is a viable method to access highly reactive intermediates from cheap, readily available, and shelfstable reagents to perform clean chemical transformations. Here, we report the first photoredox-catalyzed Achmatowicz reaction of furfuryl alcohol derivatives to produce functionalized dihydropyranones while only forming easily separable NaHSO4 as a byproduct. The water solubility of the byproduct facilitates direct Boc-protection of the resulting hemiacetal without the need for column purification. The reaction is very robust and permits the use of various aqueous solutions and light sources including sunlight.
A new simple procedure for the isomerization of 2-furylcarbinols to cyclopentenones
D'Auria, Maurizio
, p. 185 - 194 (2007/10/03)
The previously reported acid catalyzed isomerization of 2-furylcarbinols to 5-alkyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones was performed in boiling water in the absence of any acid catalyst. In this case the reaction led to the formation of more stable isomer 2-alky
