Conversion of 1,4-diketones into para -disubstituted benzenes
Ziffle, Vincent E.,Cheng, Ping,Clive, Derrick L. J.
experimental part, p. 8024 - 8038 (2011/02/26)
Reaction of acetylides with aldehydes to form but-2-yne-1,4-diols, followed by triple bond reduction and oxidation of the hydroxyl groups, gives 1,4-diketones; these react with vinyllithium, and the resulting diols undergo ring-closing metathesis to form 2-cyclohexene-1,4-diols. Dehydration, usually by acid treatment, then gives benzenes carrying substituents in a 1,4 relationship. Use of substituted vinyllithiums provides further substitution on the final benzene rings. The method can be applied to the synthesis of C5-aryl carbohydrates.
Making a difference on excited-state chemistry by controlling free space within a nanocapsule: Photochemistry of 1-(4-alkylphenyl)-3-phenylpropan-2-ones
Sundaresan, Arun Kumar,Ramamurthy
, p. 3575 - 3578 (2008/02/12)
The free space within a reaction cavity plays a determining role during the excited-state reaction of 1-(4-alkylphenyl)-3-phenylpropan-2-ones included within a capsule formed by two molecules of a deep cavity cavitand. By controlling the free space within the reaction cavity through remote alkyl substitution on the reactant ketone it is possible to control the yield of the rearrangement product shown above.
