Background:α-Methylene cycloalkanones are considered of interest because of their biological activity. Herein, in this paper the synthesis of (±) HomoSarkomycine Esters was described and characterized.Methods:Using Bylis-Hillman adducts, triethlorthoacetate and propanoic acid, (±) HomoSarkomycine Esters could be synthesized by smoothly Johnson-Claisen rearrangement.Results:A small library of target compounds was prepared under optimized reaction conditions in moderate yields. The reaction mechanism and the DFT study have been investigated.Conclusion:This methodology provides ready access to 2-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclopentenone 1a which can be served as the raw materials of the synthesis of (±) HomoSarkomycine Ester.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
