Oxidative Rearrangement of 4-Hydroxy-2-cyclobutenone. A New Route to Highly Substituted Furanones from Squaric Acid
摘要:
4-Hydroxy-2-cyclobutenones, which were obtained by the reaction of diethyl squarate with an organolithium, reacted with lead tetraacetate (to generate an oxy radical) affording 5-acetoxy-2(5H)-furanones and 5-alkylidene-2(5H)-furanones. This type of rearrangement was realized in a simple four-membered cyclic alpha-ketol but not in the corresponding five-membered ring.

carbon stereogenic centers. We have developed a regioselective and enantiospecific rhodium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of acyclic unsymmetrical allylic alcohol derivatives using copper(I) enolates to prepare beta-substituted ketones. This protocol represents a convenient asymmetric Claisen rearrangement surrogate in which alpha-substituted enolates permit the introduction of an additional stereogenic
Novel prostaglandin analogues modified in the omega chain were prepared by the reaction of the vinyl aldehydes 1a--e with a variety of organometallic reagents as a key step of the syntheses. Compared with the natural prostaglandin F2 alpha in antinidatory effect, the analogues 4, 7, and 10 were 40 times more potent and the analogue 11 was 50--100 times more potent in the rat.

Nucleophilic attack on tetracarbonyl(pi-allyl)manganese takes place at the terminus of the pi-system, generating allylated products in 44-95% yield after oxidation. Stabilized nucleophiles (pK(a) 12-20) give mainly his allylation whereas nonstabilized nucleophiles (pKa 25-35) give mono allylation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
General Syntheses of Optically Active α-Trifluoromethylated Amines via Ring-Opening Reactions of <i>N</i>-Benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine
Syntheses of optically active trifluoromethylated amines via ring-opening reactions of optically active N-benzyl-2-trifluoromethylaziridine were achieved. Proton-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of the 2-trifluoromethylaziridine proceeded very smoothly, while the compound was found to be inert toward nucleophiles; thus, the trifluoromethylaziridine itself cannot be ring-opened by nitrogen or carbon nucleophiles. The N-alkylated aziridinium ion of trifiuoromethylaziridine was highly reactive to undergo smooth ring-opening by nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles.
