An Organocatalytic Domino Thia-Michael/Aldol Condensation Reaction: Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Functionalized Dihydrothiophenes

Abstract An organocatalytic domino thia-Michael/aldol condensation reaction of ,, ,-unsaturated aldehydes with 1, 4-dithiane-2,5-diol catalyzed by chiral diphenylprolinol TMS ether has been developed, which provides a new practical and direct route to chiral dihydrothiophenes with high yields (up to 90%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to>99% ee). The catalytic mechanism of the domino reaction was further confirmed through the APCI-MS detection of proposed reaction intermediates. [source]


Convergent Approaches to Saudin Intermediates

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 8 2003

Different convergent approaches to the highly oxygenated sesquiterpene natural product saudin (1), has been investigated. Our strategy has included a Michael addition and aldol condensation reaction as key steps. During the synthetic development, we have found serious steric hindrance when an , -Me-substituted alkyl vinyl ketone was used. Such steric hindrance has been overcome by synthesizing the vinyl ketone 16 through an anionic fragmentation, which was carefully studied. Finally, the intermediate 18 has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction from the vinyl ketone 16 and has been cyclized to obtain the promising tricyclic intermediate 20. [source]


Synthesis and Reactions of Halo-, Arylazo-substituted 3-(3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolones.

CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2010
Formation of (Naphthalen-1-yl)vinyl)substituted Heterocycle-fused Troponoid Compounds
Abstract The starting substrate 3-(3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolone (3) was achieved by the aldol condensation reaction of 3-acetyltropolone with 1-naphthaldehyde. Compound 3 reacted with bromine to afford 7-bromo-3- (3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolone (4), 5,7-dibromo-3-(3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolone (5) according to the molar ratio of the reactants. Iodination of 3 gave 7-iodo-3-(3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolone (6). Azo-coupling reactions of 3 gave the 5-arylazo-3-(3-(1-naphthyl)acryloyl)tropolones (7,8). Compounds 3, 4, 6 reacted respectively with hydroxyamine to give the corresponding 3-[2-(1-naphthyl)vinyl]-8H -cyclohepta[d]isoxazol-8-ones (9,11). The reactions of 3, 5 with phenylhydrazine and substituted phenylhydrazines gave 3-[2-(1-naphthyl)vinyl]-1-phenylcyclohepta[c]pyrazol-8(1H)-ones (12,18). [source]
