Synthesis and Reactivity of New β-Enamino Acid Derivatives: A Simple and General Approach to β-Enamino Esters and Thioesters
1998
A new strategy has been developed for the synthesis of several β-enamino acid derivatives. N,N‘-Carbonyldiimidazole has been used as C-acylating agent of methyl ketimines, providing a direct and simple route to new β-enamino carbonyl imidazole derivatives 2. These derivatives 2 were cleanly and efficiently transformed into β-enamino esters 4 (X = O) and thioesters 4 (X = S) by reaction with a great variety of alcohols and thiols, including tertiary ones. Alternative and complementary routes to compounds 4 were also investigated. In addition, β-keto esters 6 have been obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of β-enamino esters 4.
Photochemical reactivity of 6α-hydroxy, 7-keto neoclerodane diterpenoids
2006
Abstract The photochemical reactivity, in methanol at λ = 254 nm, of two 6α-hydroxy-7-keto neoclerodane, isoeriocephalin ( 1 ) and teucrolivin B ( 2 ) was evaluated. From the first compound, two new products were obtained: the 6β-hydroxy epimer ( 3 ) and the ɛ-lactone ( 4 ). The second one yielded exclusively the new spiro γ-lactone ( 5 ). The formation of these new products can be explained by the well-known radical mechanism Norrish type I.
ChemInform Abstract: On the Reactivity of Nitrosoimidazoles with Acids (the Cusmano-Ruccia Reaction): A Continuous Source of New Ring-into-Ring Inter…
2014
Abstract An extension of the ‘Cusmano–Ruccia’ reaction is reported. 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-5-nitrosoimidazo[2,1- b ]oxazole by the action of hydrochloric acid gives 3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 13 ); presumably via ammonium ion, CO 2 and methanol elimination. The relevance of the nature of the atom of the B -ring linked to C-2 of the imidazole for the occurrence of the ring-into-ring interconversion has been once more confirmed.
Transamidation reactions of 2-(2-sulfonylguanidino)acetamides
2007
Abstract The reactivity of a series of sulfonylguanidinoacetamides 2A–E towards amines is reported. Guanidinoacetamides 2A–C, containing the arylsulfonylimino moiety, undergo a facile transamidation to give substituted carboxamides 4A–C, through the imidazolidinone intermediate 3. Acetamide 2D, having a methanesulfonylimino substituent, affords the imidazolidinone 3D and no transamidated carboxamides 4 are detected. In the case of guanidinoacetamide 2E, with a p-nitrobenzenesulfonylimino substituent, a Smiles rearrangement was observed.
ChemInform Abstract: Reactivity and Selectivity of ortho-Metalated Rhodium(II) Complexes in C-H Insertion Reactions of α-Diazo Compounds.
2010
Regioselective intramolecular C−H insertion reactions of α-diazo β-keto esters and α-diazo ketones are mediated by Rh2[OOCR]4-x[PC]x (x = 1, 2; PC = ortho-metalated phosphine; R = CH3, C3F7). In particular, the intramolecular transformation of 1-diazo-5-methyl-3-propyl-2-hexanone catalyzed by Rh2[OOCCH3]2[PC]2 (PC = (C6H4)P(C6H5)2, head-to-tail (H−T) configuration) afforded only the tertiary C−H insertion product. By comparison, no C−H insertion reaction was promoted by doubly metalated complexes with a head-to-head (H−H) configuration. Rh2[OOCR]3[PC] compounds were found to be less suited for these type of reactions.
The Aluminyl Anion : A New Generation of Aluminium Nucleophile
2020
Trivalent aluminium compounds are well known for their reactivity as Lewis acids/electrophiles, a feature that is exploited in many pharmaceutical, industrial and laboratory-based reactions. Recently, a series of isolable aluminium(I) anions ('aluminyls') have been reported, which offer an alternative to this textbook description: these reagents behave as aluminium nucleophiles. This minireview covers the synthesis, structure and reactivity of aluminyl species reported to date, together with their associated metal complexes. The frontier orbitals of each of these species have been investigated using a common methodology to allow for a like-for-like comparison of their electronic structure a…
ChemInform Abstract: Unique Reactivity of Fluorinated Molecules with Transition Metals
2015
Organofluorine and organometallic chemistry by themselves constitute two potent areas in organic synthesis. Thus, the combination of both offers many chemical possibilities and represents a powerful tool for the design and development of new synthetic methodologies leading to diverse molecular structures in an efficient manner. Given the importance of the selective introduction of fluorine atoms into organic molecules and the effectiveness of transition metals in C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation, this review represents an interesting read for this aim.
meso-Aryl-substituted free-base porphyrins: formation, structure and photostability of diprotonated species
2015
Susceptibility to interact with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) of selected free-base porphyrins, including a novel lipophilic 3-n-pentadecyl(phenoxy)-ethoxy-phenyl-substituted porphyrin, and photostability of their diprotonated compounds was explored in benzene and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Results have been discussed in terms of the commonly applied pK a -based procedure and confronted with a simple approach derived from experimentally-determined correlations reflecting the porphyrins affinity for TFA. Density functional theory (DFT) has proved the porphyrin moiety creates stable diprotonated species involving two TFA molecules, in which the fluorine atoms effectively contribute to the over…
Novel 2,6-disubstituted phenylboronic compounds - Synthesis, crystal structures, solution behaviour and reactivity
2015
Abstract 2,6-Diformylphenylboronic acid has been synthesized and characterized both in the solid state as well as in solution. In crystal, an unusual structural pattern has been found with the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds by B(OH) 2 and CHO groups as well as water molecules. In solution tautomeric equilibrium with the formation of oxaborole ring by one of the formyl groups was proved on the basis of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The title compound reacts with secondary mono- and diamines to form various types of substituted benzoxaboroles, which have been characterized by XRD and spectroscopic methods.
Mononuclear rearrangements of heterocycles in water/β-CD: information on the real site of reaction from structural modifications of substrates and fr…
2007
Abstract The effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the reactivity in the base-catalyzed pathway for the rearrangement in water of some ( Z )-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles ( 1b – f ) into the relevant triazoles ( 2b – f ) was investigated, finding different behavior as a function of the proton concentration. ESIMS and 1 H NMR data evidence the formation of host – guest complexes. The whole of the experimental and calculated (MM2) data enabled us to draw some intriguing conclusions concerning the influence of the structures of the substrates and the nature of the formed host – guest complexes on the real site of the reaction.
