Synthesis of oxaspiranic compounds through [3 + 2] annulation of cyclopropenones and donor–acceptor cyclopropanes.
2014
The Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed [3 + 2]-annulation reaction between cyclopropenones and donor–acceptor cyclopropanes is described. The process leads directly to the formation of 4-oxaspiro[2.4]hept-1-ene derivatives in good to excellent reaction yields. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the [3 + 2]-annulation pathway is strongly preferred over the possible [3 + 3]-process.
Selective, homogeneous hydrogenation of cycloheptatriene to cycloheptene catalyzed by (η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)(η6-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene)ruthenium(0)
1980
Abstract In the presence of small amounts of [Ru(η 4 -COD)](η 6 -C 8 H 10 )] (1), cycloheptatriene is hydrogenated to cycloheptene, under one atmosphere of hydrogen at room temperature in homogeneous phase. The formation of a small amount of cyclooctene and the existence of an induction period, which do not occur when [Ru(η 4 -COD)(η 6 -C 7 H 8 )] (2) is used as the catalyst, suggest that 2 is the real catalyst. The selectivity of this hydrogenation is 100% in n-hexane as solvent, 99.5% in THF, and low in ethanol. Conversion is quantitative in THF and ethanol, but not more than 65% in n-hexane. In the presence of 1 or 2, cycloheptene is rapidly hydrogenated to cycloheptane in THF and ethano…

A Bioinspired Approach to Tri-nor-guaianes. Synthesis of (−)-Clavukerin A
2006
A bioinspired approach to tri-nor-guaianes by degradation of the C-7 side chain of related guaia-11-enes is described. In this approach (-)-clavukerin A (1) is obtained by selective ozonolysis-Criegge rearrangement of (+)-1alphaH,7alphaH,10alphaH-guaia-4,11-dien-3-one (4) to afford 7beta-hydroxy and 7beta-acetoxy tri-nor-guaiane derivatives 6 and 7, respectively, which after elimination and deoxygenation give the title compound. The starting guaiadienone is readily obtained from commercially available santonin or (+)-dihydrocarvone.
Structural Variation and Magneto-Structural Correlation in Two New Dinuclear Bis(µ2-Phenoxo)-Bridged CuII Schiff-Base Complexes: Catalytic Potential …
2010
Two new dinuclear bis(μ2-phenoxo)-bridged copper(ii) complexes [Cu(NCS)L1]2 (1) and [Cu(NCS)L2]2 (2) have been synthesized using two tridentate NNO-donor Schiff-base ligands, L1H (Me2N(CH2)3N=CHC6H3(OMe)(OH)) and L2H (Me2N(CH2)3N=C(CH3)C6H4(OH)), respectively. They have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-visible, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. X-Ray single-crystal structures reveal a central Cu2O2 core in each complex with an isothiocyanate ligand coordinated terminally to each metal centre. The coordination environments around the CuII ions in 1 and 2 are a distorted trigonal bipyramid and…

Stereoselective synthesis of 7,11-guaien-8,12-olides from santonin. Synthesis of podoandin and (+)-zedolactone A.
2000
Photochemical rearrangement of hydroxy ester 2, easily obtained from santonin (1), afforded butenolide 4, a good starting material for the synthesis of 7,11-guaien-8,12-olides. Compound 4 has been transformed into compound 10, which has been used for the synthesis of podoandin (5) and (+)-zedolactone A (ent-6). Regioselective elimination of the acetyl group on C10 afforded directly podoandin (5). For the synthesis of ent-6, a hydroxyl group has been regio- and stereoselectively introduced at the 4alpha-position through the 3alpha,4alpha-epoxide 15. The basic hydrolysis of the 10-acetyl group in compound 18 took place with concomitant intramolecular conjugated addition of the alkoxide to the…
