Practical acetalization and transacetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by recyclable PVP-I

A novel PVP-I catalyzed acetalizations/transacetalizations of carbonyl compounds has been developed processing with a mild and easy handling fashion. Different types of Acyclic and cyclic acetals were prepared from carbonyl compounds or their acetals successfully. Further applications of newly developed catalytic combination were testified. This protocol featured with simplicity of operation, mild reaction condition, short reaction time, recyclable of catalyst and broad substrates scope with excellent yields.

Photocatalytic Reductive Formation of α-Tertiary Ethers from Ketals

A general photocatalytic reductive strategy for the construction of unsymmetrical α-tertiary dialkyl ethers is reported. By merging Lewis acid-mediated ketal activation and visible-light photocatalytic reduction, in situ-generated α-alkoxy radicals were found to engage in addition reactions with a variety of olefinic partners. Good reaction efficiency is demonstrated with a range of ketals of aromatic and aliphatic ketones. Extension to acetal substrates is also described, demonstrating the overall synthetic utility of this methodology for complex ether synthesis.

Rearrangement of Hydroxylated Pinene Derivatives to Fenchone-Type Frameworks: Computational Evidence for Dynamically-Controlled Selectivity

An acid-catalyzed Prins/semipinacol rearrangement cascade reaction of hydroxylated pinene derivatives that leads to tricyclic fenchone-type scaffolds in very high yields and diastereoselectivity has been developed. Quantum chemical analysis of the selecti

Silver-Catalyzed Olefination of Acetals and Ketals with Diazoesters to β-Alkoxyacrylates

The first silver-catalyzed reaction of acetals or ketals with diazoesters leading to trisubstituted or tetrasubstituted β-alkoxyacrylates is now reported. A broad range of acetals and ketals bearing different substituents is compatible with this protocol and thus provides an attractive approach for the synthesis of complex β-alkoxyacrylates. The power of this method was further demonstrated by the successful synthesis of picoxystrobin, which is one of the most popular agricultural fungicides commercialized by Dupont.

Convergent synthesis and cytotoxicity of novel trifluoromethyl-substituted (1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(quinolin-4-yl) methanones

A convergent synthesis of a series of 16 new polysubstituted (5-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(quinolin-4-yl)methanones, starting from isatin and alky(aryl/heteroaryl) ketones, is described. The diheteroaryl methanones were achieved at yields of up to 95% by a [3?+?2] cyclocondensation reaction involving 4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-4-methoxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones (by two-step reaction) and 2-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-4-carbohydrazides (by three-step reaction). Subsequently, representative dehydrated heterocyclic derivatives were obtained from the respective 5-hydroxy-2-pyrazoline moieties by classical dehydration reactions, which resulted in the corresponding (5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(quinolin-4-yl)methanones (three examples) at yields of 69–82%. The subsequent cytotoxicity evaluation showed that compounds with aromatic groups at the 2-position of the quinoline and a methyl moiety at the 3-position of the pyrazole have significant cytotoxicity in human leukocytes at high concentrations (200?μM).

Eco-friendly synthesis and antioxidant activity of new trifluoromethyl-substituted N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-amines and some N-derivatives

Abstract: A convenient and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of a new series of trifluoromethyl-substituted N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-amines by the cyclocondensation reaction of (benzo[d]thiazolyl)guanidine with either 4-alkoxy-4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones or 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(2-methoxycyclohexen-1-en-1-yl)ethanone is described. The main reactions were performed in refluxing water as the solvent (8–24?h), without catalysts, and the corresponding new N-(pyrimidinyl)-1H-(benzo[d]thiazolyl)amines were obtained at a 60–88?% yield. Subsequently, some di(hetero)arylamines were derivatized to the respective tertiary amines via easy N-alkylation and N-alkenylation reactions at 55–82?% yields. Finally, the Lipinski parameters and the total antioxidant activity of the new series of secondary arylamines were also evaluated. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Efficient syntheses of ethyl 2-methylthio-and ethyl 2-benzylthio-6-methyl(aryl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylates and their carboxylic acid derivatives

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of ethyl 2-methylthio-and ethyl 2-benzylthio-6-methyl(aryl)-pyrimidine-4-carboxylates and their corresponding acid derivatives is reported. The products are obtained in good yields via the cyclocondensation reaction of ethyl 4-alkoxy-2-oxo-4-methyl(aryl)-but-3-enoates with 2-methylisothiourea sulfate or 2-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride, under mild, basic, aqueous conditions.

Antimalarial activity of 4-(5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-chloroquine analogues

The antimalarial activity of chloroquine-pyrazole analogues, synthesized from the reaction of 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones with 4-hydrazino-7-chloroquinoline, has been evaluated in vitro against a chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum clone. Parasite growth in the presence of the test drugs was measured by incorporation of [3H]hypoxanthine in comparison to controls with no drugs. All but one of the eight (4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl) chloroquine 2 derivatives tested showed a significant activity in vitro, thus, are a promising new class of antimalarials. The three most active ones were also tested in vivo against Plasmodium berghei in mice. However, the (pyrazol-1-yl) chloroquine 3 derivatives were mostly inactive, suggesting that the aromatic functionality of the pyrazole ring was critical.

Hemiacetals of Acetophenone. Aromatic Substituent Effects in the H+- and General-base-catalysed Decomposition in Aqueous Solution

We describe a double-mixing stopped-flow technique for the study of the acid- and base-catalysed breakdown of the unstable methyl hemiacetals of aryl-substituted acetophenones in aqueous solution.The approach takes advantage of the build-up of the hemiacetal during the H+-catalysed decomposition of the corresponding dimethyl acetal.Thus, mixing a weakly basic solution of acetal with excess acid provides a solution containing unchanged acetal, the acetophenone product of the hydrolysis and the hemiacetal intermediate.After a short period of time ( +-catalysed acetal and hemiacetal breakdown are in good agreement with literature data, but our analysis suggests a larger resonance effect component than previously assumed.The corresponding set of Hammett plots for base catalysis of hemiacetal breakdown reveals a relatively weak dependence of the catalytic constants on aromatic substitution, which appears to be inconsistent with much stronger dependences on substitution in the leaving alcohol.We propose a case of non-perfect synchronization or imbalance in the transition state where, in the breakdown direction in a class n mechanism, the degree of C-O bond breakage as measured by β1g is considerable, but the change in hybridization of the central carbon (sp3 -> sp2), as measured by ρ, lags behind in the transition state so that there is less interaction with the aromatic substituents here.

Kinetics and Mechanism of Acid-catalysed Addition of Methanol to α-Methoxystyrenes

A kinetic study of the complex behaviour of ring-substituted α-methoxystyrenes in acidic (HBr) methanol is reported.The reaction yields the corresponding acetals as the only kinetic products; these are subsequently partly hydrolysed into acetophenones with rates only a little lower than those of their formation.The rate-limiting step for methanol addition corresponds to proton attachement to the double bond, yielding an oxocarbenium ion which is trapped by methanol with a rate constant 10E4 higher than that of ion deprotonation.The rate constants for proton transfer from CH3OH2+ are in the same range of magnitude as those for proton transfer from H3O+ in water.The lyonium ion catalytic constants fit a good Young-Jencks equation with ρn-2.86 and ρr-1.28
