Benzotriazole-Mediated Conversions of Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Aldehydes to Functionalized Ketones
摘要:
Aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes reacted with benzotriazole and triethyl orthoformate in THF to give the corresponding alpha-(benzotriazol-1-yl)aryl ethyl ethers 7 in good yield. The novel acyl anion precursors 7 underwent smooth lithiation at the methine group followed by trapping with alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, and imines to yield the expected substituted intermediates of type 9, which were hydrolyzed under mild conditions without isolation. Benzaldehyde, methyl-, chloro-, and methoxy-substituted benzaldehydes, 1-naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2- and 3-furaldehydes, 2- and 3-thiophenecarboxaldehydes, and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde were all transformed in this manner into a variety of aryl and heteroaryl ketones with alkyl (10), alpha-hydroxyalkyl (12 and 13), alpha-aminoalkyl (14) and acyl(15) substituents.

The intramolecular cyclization of 2-alkanoyl-2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofurans 4 with aqueous acid is described. 3-Alkylcatechols 7 were prepared in generally good yields by boiling the dioxane solution of compounds 4 in the presence of 1M hydrochloric acid. In addition, 4,5-dioxoalkanals 6 were obtained in good to high yields when the dioxane solution of compounds 4 was treated with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid.

Although stripped from hydroxyl-groups, deoxygenated hygrophorones remain highly active against severe phytopathogens. The synthesis to these natural product congeners is achieved in rearrangement sequences, with an optimized deprotection strategy avoiding retro-aldol reactions. The activities are comparable to fungicides used in agriculture.
The transition-metal-free aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols is uniquely accelerated by a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMI-PF(6))/PhCF(3) biphasic system and Cs(2)CO(3) to afford the corresponding ketones in good yields. The reaction system is also applicable to an oxidative cross-esterification of primary benzyl alcohols with a higher aliphatic alcohol. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
