A New Synthesis of γ-Butyrolactones via AuCl3- or Hg(II)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation of 4-Bromo-3-yn-1-ols
摘要:
An efficient conversion of 4-bromo-3-yn-1-ols to gamma-butyrolactones via AuCl3-catalyzed electrophilic cyclization (hydroxyl-assisted regioselective hydration) in wet toluene is described. Various secondary and tertiary alcohols including benzylic systems were found to be equally reactive with moderate to excellent yields obtained in all cases.
The Prevalence of Daytime Napping and Its Relationship to Nighttime Sleep
摘要:
Many healthy adults report daytime napping. Surprisingly few studies, however have examined spontaneous napping behavior especially very short naps, in healthy adults. The authors examined the prevalence of power naps (lasting less than 20 minutes) and longer naps (20 minutes or more) and their effects on nighttime sleep in a group of healthy young and middle-aged adults. The young and middle-aged adults reported very similar sleep and napping patterns, with approximately 74% of the participants in both groups reporting they had napped during a 7-day sleep-log period. Almost half of the participants reported that the average nap lasted less than 20 minutes. A multivariant analysis of variance (MANOVA) found no significant differences between the no-nap and the power-nap or long-nap groups in sleep quantity or quality for either age group. The current data suggested that power napping occurs frequently in healthy adults and that spontaneous napping does not negatively affect nighttime sleep.

An approach towards the synthesis of the fungal pigment xylindein 1 is described. Synthesis of the pyranonaphthoquinone corresponding to one half of the xylindein framework is achieved over 11 steps from 1,2-epoxypentane, utilizing multiple Diels–Alder cycloaddition processes. Methods for self-coupling of dihydroxynaphthoquinones to give extended quinones are explored.
Thirty tertiary propargylic carbinols have been prepared by condensing propargyl bromide with ketones. Some of them showed better hypnotic activity than 3-methylpentyn-3-01. The best compound of the series was 1-chloro-2-chloromethylpent-4-yn-2-01 which proved to be a very effective hypnotic with a favourable therapeutic index.

Al(NO3)3·9H2O as a nitro source for the synthesis of 3-nitrofurans from homopropargylic alcohols through Fe-catalyzed tandem cyclization is described. In this transformation, the substituted nitrofurans are obtained through nitration and cyclization. The substrate homopropargylic alcohols with different groups participate smoothly in this process and the desired substituted nitrofurans were obtained

studies of the diastereo‐ and enantioselective formation of strained alkylidenecycloalkanes drove us to more‐thoroughly investigate the formation of four‐membered rings for which only few efficient methods are described. We first developed a strategy to diversify the saturated part of the four‐membered ring and applied it to a highly diastereoselective synthesis of more‐elaborate alkylidenecyclobutanes,
