A Versatile Palladium-Mediated Three-Component Reaction for the One-Pot Synthesis of Stereodefined 3-Arylidene-(or 3-Alkenylidene-)tetrahydrofurans
摘要:
A one-pot reaction between equimolecular amounts of various propargyl alcohols, Michael acceptors, and unsaturated halides (or triflates) in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst provides :a simple and flexible entry into highly substituted 3-arylidene(or 3-alkenylidene)-tetrahydrofurans. The efficiency of this palladium-mediated three-component reaction has been shown to be strongly influenced by the nature of the catalyst system, and in this regard, a palladium(0) catalyst generated in situ by reduction of PdCl2(PPh3)(2) with n-butyllithium has been found particularly effective.

In the present study on the development of new anticonvulsants, twenty new 6-methyl-1-substituted-4,6-diazaspiro[2.4]heptane-5,7-diones were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) screens. Their neurotoxicity was determined by the rotorod test. In this series, all of the alkyl- and aryl-substituted 5,5-cyclo-propanespirohydantoins showed more or less protection against MES and/or scPTZ models. The most active of the series was 6-methyl-1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-4,6-diazaspiro[2.4]heptane-5,7-dione (6t), which showed a MES ED50 value of 12.5 mg/kg in mice. The median toxic dose (TD50) was 310 mg/kg, providing compound 6t with a protection index (PI = TD50/ED50) of 24.8 in the MES test which is better than phenytoin. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Switchable Reactivity of Cyclopropane Diesters toward (3 + 3) and (3 + 2) Cycloadditions with Benzoquinone Esters
Herein, we describe an unprecedented (3 + 3) cycloadditionreaction of the donor–acceptorcyclopropanes with quinone esters toward the construction of chroman scaffolds in moderate to good yields. Interestingly, the strategy is also adjustable toward a (3 + 2) cycloaddition by just switching the Lewis acid to furnish benzofuran scaffolds. Based on the choice of Lewis acid used, the same set of precursors
