“…Taking advantage of the reactivity of polarized donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes (40) [51,52] due to ring strain [53] and their behavior as carbocation upon Lewis acid activation, the Read de Alaniz group found an alternative method to trigger the rearrangement and obtain highly functionalized cyclopent-2-enones (41) (Scheme 18, A). The protocol obviated the problems that Piancatelli and D'Auria [15] encountered when they tried to prepare cyclopent-2-enones with a quaternary carbon through the Piancatelli rearrangement starting from a furan with a tertiary carbinol side chain (42) and a large amount of dehydrated compound was found together with the rearranged product (Scheme 18, B).…”

The Piancatelli Rearrangement: New Applications for an Intriguing Reaction

Nearly forty years ago, at the University of Rome, Giovanni Piancatelli and co-workers discovered the acid-catalyzed water-mediated rearrangement of 2-furylcarbinols into 4-hydroxycyclopentenones. These motifs are core components of several pharmacologically active compounds and precursors of many natural products. The main features of this reaction are the simple experimental conditions, the stereochemical outcome and the generality of the procedure. Consequently, a re-emergence of this reaction has been seen recently, including developments of the Piancatelli rearrangement with some interesting inter-and intramolecular variants. This review will mainly focus on the general aspects of the reaction along with its more recent applications.

“…They are often present as structural sub-units in natural and non-natural products (Rappoport, 1987;Burke and Grieco, 1979;Hudlicky et al, 1985;Ho, 1988;Burgess and Ho, 1994), are frequently used as mechanistic probes to elucidate reaction pathways (Suckling, 1988;Silverman et al, 1993;Newcomb and Chestney, 1994;Caldwell and Zhou, 1994;Husbands et al, 1994), and are increasingly valuable as synthetic intermediates (Wong et al, 1989;Davies, 1991;Reissig, 1995).…”

ABSTRACT:The last decade has witnessed enormous growth in the spectrum of highly efficient asymmetric synthetic transformations. One prominent example of this progress is the application of dirhodium (II) carbenes generated from diazoprecursors. Innovative construction of 'designer' catalysts has played a integral role in extending the breadth of the synthetic cascade of non-racemic products now available through the range of cyclopropanation, C-X insertion, aromatic cycloaddition-rearrangement, and ylide-based reaction types. This review deals briefly with an overview of the important catalytic systems and maintains as its primary focus the cascade of diverse optically enriched products that flow from their applications.

New 4-cyclo(propyl-and butyl)pyridinium salts have been prepared by alkylation of 4-picolinium salt with α,ω-dibromoalkanes under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. The influence of the nature and the catalysis concentration was investigated. The experimentally determined H and C NMR chemical shifts were compared with the values calculated using the GIAO/DFT and HF approach in gas-phase and/or in methanol by using the IEF-PCM method.
