Chemoselective reduction of ?,￠-unsaturated carbonyl and carboxylic compounds by hydrogen iodide

The selective reduction of ?,￠-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was achieved to produce saturated carbonyl compounds with aqueous HI solution. The introduction of an aryl group at an ? or ￠ position efficiently facilitated the reduction with good yield. The reaction was applicable to compounds bearing carboxylic acids and halogen atoms. Through the investigation of the reaction mechanism, it was found that Michael-type addition of iodide occurred to produce ￠-iodo compounds followed by the reduction of C-I bond via anionic and radical paths.

Dual Nickel/Ruthenium Strategy for Photoinduced Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids with Cycloketone Oxime Esters

Herein, a dual nickel/ruthenium strategy is developed for photoinduced decarboxylative cross-coupling between α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and cycloketone oxime esters. The reaction mechanism is distinct from previous photoinduced decarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. This reaction might proceed through a nickelacyclopropane intermediate. The C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond constructed by the aforementioned reaction provides an efficient approach to obtaining various cyanoalkyl alkenes, which are synthetically valuable organic skeletons in organic and medicinal chemistry, under mild reaction conditions. The protocol tolerates many critical functional groups and provides a route for the modification of complex organic molecules.

Visible-light promoted oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acid derivatives using xanthone as the photocatalyst

We have developed an efficient photocatalytic synthesis of coumarin derivativesviaa tandem double bond isomerization/oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acids. Inexpensive and stable xanthone was used as the photocatalyst, and readily available Selectfluor was used as the oxidant. This method tolerates a wide range of functional groups and offers excellent chemical yields in general. Besides, the photocatalytic oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acid esters gives dimerized lignan-type products.

Palladium-Catalyzed Direct C-H Arylation of 3-Butenoic Acid Derivatives

We report herein a direct method to synthesize 4-aryl-3-butenoic acid through a carboxylic-acid-directed oxidative Heck reaction. The various 4-aryl-3-butenoic acids are easily prepared in moderate to good yields. In view of the promising bioactivity of 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid previously reported, its derivatives reported here may be bioactive.

Arylpyran Pseudoacid Racemization: Rate Estimation and Structural Influences

Abstract: Arylpyran pseudoacids showed slow ring-opening to the oxocarboxylic acids, and fast ring-closure to the lactols (pseudoacids) in a process that amounts to racemization. Compounds studied were patterned on “Cooper’s Pseudoacid” [3-hydroxy-4,4-dim

Synergistic N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Palladium-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Annulation of Vinyl Enolates with 1-Tosyl-2-vinylaziridine

The synergistic combination of N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis for a formal [3 + 2] annulation between 3-substituted but-2-enoates and 1-tosyl-2-vinylaziridine was developed. This cooperative strategy provides a facile and efficient access to various functionalized (E)-3-ethylidene-4-vinylpyrrolidin-2-ones in a regioselective and stereoselective manner. The preliminary asymmetric studies were also performed, which indicated a potential for enantioselective annulation of vinyl enolate intermediates with transition-metal-π-allyl species.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Contra-Thermodynamic Isomerization of Polarized Alkenes

The contra-thermodynamic isomerization of α- and β-substituted cinnamate derivatives catalyzed by the Cu(OAc)2/rac-BINAP complex under blue light irradiation is reported. The use of an oxazolidinone template, which favored the complexation of the copper catalyst to the substrate, allowed the E → Z isomerization of the catalytically formed chromophore under simple and robust reaction conditions in good to excellent ratios. The mechanism of this process based on the transient formation of a chromophore was also studied.

Synthesis and characterization of unsaturated diacyl and alkyl-acyl piperazine derivatives

The aim of this study is to obtain new unsaturated piperazine compounds by the reactions of piperazine (1a) and piperazine derivatives (1b–1d) with acylation reactive groups (2a–2j). Methacryloyl piperazine (1b) was synthesized from the reaction of methacrylic anhydride with piperazine (1a). Acyl chlorides (2b–2d) were prepared from the reaction of thionyl chloride with carboxylic acids (3a–3c) obtained as a result of the reaction with malonic acid and suitable aldehyde (5-methylfuran-2-carbaldehyde for 3a, cinnamaldehyde for 3b, and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde for 3c), respectively, by literature methods. Acyl chlorides 2e and 2f were obtained from the reaction of commercially purchased carboxylic acids 3d and 3e with thionyl chloride. Acyl chlorides (2g–2j) were synthesized from the reaction of thionyl chloride with carboxylic acids (3d–3g) transformed from hydrolyzation of esters (4a–4d) obtained as a result of the reaction of triethyl phosphonoacetate with a suitable ketone (acetophenone for 4a, benzophenone for 4b, 1-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one for 4c, and 1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-one for 4d), respectively, by literature methods. Unsaturated piperazine derivatives 5a and 5b were obtained from the reaction of 1b with 2b and 2e, respectively. In addition, from the reaction of 1b and acyl chlorides (2b–2j), unsaturated piperazines (5c–5k) were synthesized in medium to good yields (63%–84%). Also, 5l–5g and 5r–5w were obtained from the reaction of allyl piperazine (2c) and cinnamyl piperazine (2d) with acyl chlorides (2a–2f).

Enantioselective epoxidation of β,β-disubstituted enamides with a manganese catalyst and aqueous hydrogen peroxide

Enantioselective epoxidation of β,β-disubstituted enamides with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and a novel manganese catalyst is described. Epoxidation is stereospecific and proceeds fast under mild conditions. Amides are disclosed as key functional groups to enable high enantioselectivity.

Pd-Catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions of epoxides with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids

A Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with cyclic and acyclic epoxides has been developed. Both β-monosubstituted and β-disubstituted unsaturated carboxylic acids, as well as conjugated diene unsaturated carboxylic acids are suitable reaction substrates. Substituted homoallylic alcohols were obtained in moderate to good yields. The product was obtained as a mixture of diastereomers favoring the anti diastereomer of the cyclic epoxides. This work provides a method for the modification of complex organic molecules containing α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.
