Revisiting [3 + 3] Route to 1,3-Cyclohexanedione Frameworks: Hidden Aspect of Thermodynamically Controlled Enolates
摘要:
We have revisited the traditional consecutive Michael-Claisen [3 + 3] process (MC-[3 + 3]) promising the synthesis of a cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives from nonactivated simple ketones and enoates and evaluated its potential in modern organic synthesis. Twenty to thirty examples were demonstrated to be effective. The reactions exhibited remarkable regioselectivity with the Michael addition proceeding through nucleophilic attack by the more hindered site of the ketones without exception. The subsequent Claisen condensation resulted in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between less hindered site of the ketones and acyl carbon of the enoates. The MC-[3 + 3] process described is useful for the synthesis of Taxol A-ring synthons in multigram quantities and for the synthesis of other six-membered carbocyclic compounds. A number of control experiments have been conducted to provide strong support for the mechanism of this MC-[3 + 3].

α-Diphenylphosphinoyl ketones are selectively and sequentially alkylated at the α-position. Double lithiation and selective alkylation occurs at the less stabilised γ-position. Dephosphinoylation of the alkylation products gives ketones. Mono-alkylation is selective, highly crystalline intermediates are formed and a one-pot strategy is possible. The method is ideally suited for the preparation of acid-sensitive ketones.
The present invention relates to processes for preparing certain 2-pyridones and 2-pyridinols, to novel compounds of these two types and to their use as biologically active compounds, in particular for controlling harmful microorganisms in crop protection, in the medicinal field and in the protection of materials.

CoCl2/P(OPh)3/Zn system providing a mixture of 1,2‐trans‐ and 1,1‐disubstituted functionalized terminal alkene products in high yields. The scope of the reaction was also extended by the coupling of 1,3‐enynes and acetylene gas with alkenes. Furthermore, a phosphine‐free cobalt‐catalyzed reductive coupling of terminal alkynes with enones, affording 1,2‐trans‐disubstituted alkenes as the major products in a high regioisomeric
The addition of aryl- or alkenyl-trimethylstannanes to α,β-unsaturated carbonylcompounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of a cationic rhodium complex ([Rh(cod)(MeCN)2]BF4) and water to afford the conjugateaddition products in good yields was examined. It was observed that addition of water was necessary for the reaction to proceed smoothly. The aryl- or alkenyl-rhodium complex, which is generated
Tinenolatederivedfromdiketene and (n-Bu3Sn)2O was alkylated by alkyl halides, leading to mono-alkylated enolate via facile decarboxylation, which successively react with other electrophiles like an aldehyde and alkyl halides to furnish double-alkylated acetones.
