Synthesis of β-Substituted Cyclic Enones via Phosphonium Salt-Activated, Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Cyclic 1,3-Diones

Abstract

Phosphonium salt-activated, Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of cyclic 1,3-diones in the synthesis of β-substituted cyclic enones are described. These transformations exhibit good isolated yield and high generality with respect to both substrates and coupling partners. Extension of the substrate scope to cyclic 1,3-dione equivalents, such as 2-cyanocyclohexanone (4), is also briefly examined.

Base Modifications of Nucleosides via the Use of Peptide‐Coupling Agents, and Beyond

“…Others have also studied the use of peptide coupling agents for modifying nucleosides [90] . Beyond this, there are other applications outside the nucleoside arena as well [91–95] . The richness of this chemistry has overflowed into other areas in our own research endeavors.…”

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Alkylation of Cyclopropanols with Sulfoxonium Ylides via C–C Bond Cleavage: Formation of Diverse 1,5-Diketones

“…The aldol condensation of 3aa [7]. To a solution of compound 3aa (0.1 mmol) in EtOH (0.5 ml) and H2O (0.5 ml) was added KOH (0.2 mmol).…”

“…On the other hand, metal carbene species, which can undergo diverse reactions, have become important intermediates since they were first discovered in the early 20th century 7 . It's not surprising that there have appeared in the past decade such examples that incorporate carbene species.…”

Rh(i)-catalyzed site-selective hydroacylation of alkenyl-bearing allylic alcohols with non-chelating aldehydes controlled by in situ generated carbonyl group

“…Because of the ubiquitous application of 1,5-diketones in the decoration of oxygen-, nitrogen-containing heterocycles, and carbocycles, 12 they have become extraordinarily fascinating building blocks from a pharmaceutical chemistry perspective. In recent years, considerable attention has shifted to transition-metal-catalyzed hydroacylation of unsaturated components for constructing 1,5-diketones in terms of access to simple starting materials and 100% atom efficiency.…”
