Preparative-scale synthesis of two metabolites isolated from soil treated with Zoxium fungicide and Kerb herbicide

The preparation in multigram scale of two metabolites 3-(3,5-dichloro-4-methyl-benzoylamino)-2hydroxy-3-methyl-pentanoic acid and 3-(3,5-dichloro-benzoylamino)-3-methyl-2-oxo-butyric acid isolated from soil treated with either Zoxium fungicide or Kerb herbicide was efficiently accomplished using a common 5-step synthetic process starting from easily available raw materials.

Metal Exchange between an Electrogenerated Organonickel Species and Zinc Halide: Application to an Electrochemical, Nickel-Catalyzed Reformatsky Reaction

The mechanism of the electroreductive coupling of α-chloro esters or α-chloro nitriles with carbonyl compounds by the means of a sacrificial zinc anode and a nickel catalyst was elucidated by electroanalytical techniques.The mechanism involved reduction of a Ni(II) complex to a Ni(0) complex, oxidative addition of the α-chloro ester to the Ni(0) complex, and a Zn(II)/Ni(II) exchange, leading to an organozinc Reformatsky reagent.The electrosynthesis of various β-hydroxy esters, β-hydroxy nitriles, and 2,3-epoxy esters was successfully achieved under extremely mild conditions.

Dianions Derived from α-Halo Acids. The Darzens Condensation Revisited

The dianions of α-halo carboxylic acids are readily generated by the addition of the acids to 2 equiv of lithium diisopropylamide at low temperatures.When the mixture warms to room temperature dimeric products are formed.When aldehydes and ketones were added to the cooled solutions of the dianions and the reaction mixtures were allowed to warm to room temperature, followed by acid quench, glycidic acids were formed.The glycidic acids, per se, were often too unstable to be isolated and purified but could be analyzed by conversion to their methyl esters withdiazomethane.When the reactions were quenched prematurely, α-chloro-β-hydroxy carboxylic acids were isolated.Homologated aldehydes and ketones were obtained from the glycidic acids by catalytic and thermal decarboxylation methods.
