Titanocene-promoted intermolecular couplings of epoxides with nitriles. An easy access to β-hydroxyketones

(Chemical Equation Presented) Radical couplings of epoxides and nitriles mediated by Cp2TiCl provide a diastereoselective route to the synthesis of β-hydroxyketones. The conditions of this "aldol- like" reaction are mild enough to avoid the dehydration of the β-hydroxyketone. The scope of the coupling reaction with functionalized and tetrasubstituted epoxides has been studied. The radical character of the coupling reactions is demonstrated.

TBD-catalyzed direct 5- and 6-enolexo aldolization of ketoaldehydes

Treatment of unfunctionalized acyclic ketoaldehydes with a catalytic amount of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene induces a direct intramolecular 5- and 6-enolexo aldolization, furnishing 2-ketocyclopentanols and 2-ketocyclohexanols in good-to-excellent yields.

Reductive generation of enolates from enones using elemental hydrogen: Catalytic C-C bond formation under hydrogenative conditions

Exposure of enones to elemental hydrogen in the presence of a Rh(I) catalyst enables reductive enolate generation, as evidenced by electrophilic trapping of the enolate by appendant and exogenous aldehyde partners. The significance of these findings resides in the ability to regioselectivity generate and transform transition metal enolates under catalytic conditions that circumvent formation of stoichiometric byproducts.

Chiral orthoesters in organic synthesis: Novel reagents for the enantioselective acylation of silylenolethers

Dialkyl trans-2-alkoxy-2-alkyl-1,3-dioxolan-4,5-dicarboxylates and the corresponding N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-4,5-diamides have been prepared respectively from dialkyl tartrates or tartaric acid diamides. They smoothly reacted with silylenolethers in the prese

Formation of β-Hydroxyketones from α,β-Epoxyketones by Photoinduced Single Electron Transfer Reactions

Irradiation of α,β-epoxyketones in acetonitrile at 254 nm in the presence of triethylamine afforded β-hydroxyketones in good to moderate yields. Key words: α,β-epoxyketones, β-hydroxyketones, radical, photochemistry.

CHEMO- AND REGIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF α,β-EPOXY KETONES TO β-HYDROXY KETONES BY SODIUM HYDROGENTELLURIDE

α,β-Epoxy ketones were chemo- and regioselectively reduced to β-hydroxy ketones by sodium hydrogentelluride in good yields.

REDUCTION OF DELTA 2-ISOXAZOLINES. PART 3: RANEY-NICKEL CATALYZED FORMATION OF beta -HYDROXY KETONES.

The importance of the beta -hydroxy ketone moiety has led to the development of a wide variety of aldol type methodologies for its construction. A conceptually new approach to these 'aldol adducts' is presented on the basis of left bracket 3 plus 2 right bracket dipolar cycloaddition of in situ generated nitrile oxides and olefins followed by reduction of the resulting DELTA **2-isoxazolines. This approach provides a nice complement of the aldol type reaction. Optimum conditions for the transformation of DELTA **2-isoxazolines to beta -hydroxy ketones use Raney-nickel catalyst, boric acid, 5/1 MeOH/H//2O, and hydrogen gas. Under these mild conditions, 3-methyl-5-n-butyl- DELTA **2-isoxazoline is transformed to 4-hydroxy-2-octanone in high yield. Thus 'directed aldol' type adducts are readily available by selection of the appropriate olefin and nitrile oxide precursor (usually the 1 degree nitro compound).
