Trienediolates of hexadienoic acids in synthesis. synthesis of retinoic and nor-retinoic acids.
1993
Abstract Double deprotonation of either (E,E)-3-methyl-2,4-hexadienoic acid 2, or 4,6-dimethyldihydro-2-pyrone 3 generates apparently the same lithium trienediolate, which affords ω-hydroxy acids 9 on reaction with ketones 7. Hydroxy acids 9 are easily dehydrated to octatrienoic acids 5, which are structurally related to retinoic acid. Similarly, sorbic acid 1 leads to nor-retinoic acid analogs 6.
Photolysis of enol acetates and α-bromo derivatives ofo-(acyloxy)acetophenones
1985
UV irradiation of enol acetates 3a – g in benzene gives mainly o-(acetoxy)acetophenones 2 and 2-methylchromones 4. Under the same conditions, the dimethyl derivatives 3h and 3i remain unaffected. The α-bromo ketone 5a gives rise to mixtures of o-(acetoxy)acetophenone (2a), the diketone 6, and/or α-acetoxy-o-hydroxyacetophenone (7), depending on the irradiation conditions. The similarities and differences between the two series of experiments, as well as their possible mechanistic implications, are discussed. Photolyse von Enolacetaten und α-Bromderivaten von o-(Acyloxy)acetophenonen UV-Bestrahlung der Enolacetate 3a – g in Benzol liefert o-(Acetoxy)acetophenone 2 und 2-Methyl-chromone 4 als…

CO2 as a C1-organic building block: Electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones. A quantitative study of the effect of the concentration of substrate an…
2006
The purpose of this work is to establish and discuss quantitative relationships between the selectivity in preparative scale electrolysis and intrinsic and operational parameters for the electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones. For the investigated ketones, under appopriate experimental conditions the selectivity of the process is mainly determined by the competition between carboxylation and protonation, de-halogenation reactions (when an halogenated ketone is involved), and possibly dimerizations involving the electrogenerated radical anion. A simple model was proposed to account for these unwanted side paths which allows to predict the dependence of the selectivity as a function of the …
Transformation of monuron photosensitized by soil extracted humic substances: energy or hydrogen transfer mechanism?
1997
The humic and fulvic acids extracted from a Ranker type soil sensitize the transformation of monuron. When monuron is irradiated at 365 nm in the presence of the fulvic acid, its degradation is faster in deoxygenated medium than in air-saturated solution. Chloride ions are released, and the para-hydroxylated derivative is formed as upon direct photolysis. It is deduced that the consumption of monuron observed in the absence of oxygen is due to an energy transfer from reactive triplet states of the fulvic acid to monuron. Energy transfer reactions also take place when hydroquinone or acetophenone are used as sensitizers, showing that the energy level of the triplet state of monuron is lower …
Cyclocondensation reaction of 1,2-diamino-4-methylbenzene andp-substituted acetophenones
1993
1,2-Diamino-4-methylbenzene 1 reacts in the presence of sulphuric acid with 4-substituted acetophenones 2a-e yielding 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,8-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 3a-e and as minor component 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 4a-e. The ratio 3:4 is in the range of 7:3. The structure determination of the regioisomers was performed by NOE measurements.
Electrochemical carboxylation of aldehydes and ketones with sacrificial aluminum anodes.
1986
Abstract The electrocarboxylation of aldehydes to the corresponding α-hydroxyacids was described as impossible with conventional electrochemical systems. It is reported here that it is possible to realize it in diaphragmless cells making of sacrificial aluminum anodes. The method can be used also for the electrocarboxylation of ketones with good yields.
Influence of the nature of the substrate and of operative parameters in the electrocarboxylation of halogenated acetophenones and benzophenones
2005
Abstract The electrocarboxylation of halogenated acetophenones and benzophenones to the corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acids has been carried out in undivided cell equipped with aluminium sacrificial anode and using 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) as the solvent. The radical anion generated by the electro-reduction of the aromatic ketone is involved in several competitive reactions which lead to the formation of the target hydroxycarboxylic acid, the corresponding alcohol and pinacol and the de-halogenated parent ketone. If sufficiently negative working potentials are imposed, the latter is reduced to the corresponding carboxylate, pinacol and alcohol. Very different results in terms of sel…
Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung, 73. Die Reduktion prochiraler Alkyl(aryl)ketone zu Carbinolen und Pinakolen mit Alkaliamalgamen
1984
Es werden die Faktoren ermittelt, welche die Stereochemie und das Mengenverhaltnis (C/P) des bei der Reduktion von Acetophenon mit Lithium-, Natrium- und Kaliumamalgam (Li/Hg, Na/Hg, K/Hg) gebildeten Carbinols (C) und Pinakols (P) bestimmen. Das C/P-Verhaltnis wird beeinflust a) durch Protonendonatoren, b) durch quartaren Ammoniumsalze, c) durch bis-tertiare Amine. Bei Anwesenheit von optisch aktiven quartaren Ammoniumsalzen und optisch aktiven bis-tertiaren Aminen wird sowohl beim Pinakol als auch beim Carbinol eine geringe optische Induktion beobachtet. Bei der Reduktion von Pivalophenon mit Li/Hg entsteht das anomale Dimerisierungsprodukt 20. Studies on the Occurrence of Hydrogen Transfe…
Electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones: Influence of operative parameters on the competition between ketyl and ring carboxylation
2007
Abstract The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of operational parameters on the competition between the formation of the target 2-hydroxy-2-arylpropanoic acid and ring carboxylation in the electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones. For the investigated ketones, this competition has been found to be dramatically influenced by different parameters such as the water content and the ratio between the carbon dioxide and the ketone concentrations (q = [CO2]/[ketone]). In particular, the target carboxylic acid formation can be favoured with respect to ring carboxylation by operating at high q ratios or by addition of small amounts of H2O to the reaction medium. An increase of the wa…
