Alkylbenzenes are synthesized for the first time from aliphatic hydrocarbons via an one pot, transition metal-free coupling approach under basic conditions. The method consists of two steps: condensation of 2-bromoprop-2-enyl- or 2-propargylcyclohexanone with alcohols, amines, or amino alcohols, followed by base treatment (Scheme 1). Phenolic ethers and N-phenylated polyalkyl aromatic compounds are shown to be in the scope of the demonstrated reaction (Table). The proposed mechanism suggests that the unsaturation in another part of the molecule (propargyl-group equivalent) is transferred into the cyclohexane ring to yield a benzene ring through a series of prototropic shifts.

Enzyme-catalyzed resolution of aromatic ring fused cyclic tertiary alcohols
Ozdemirhan, Devrim; Sezer, Serdar; Sonmez, Yasemin (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01)
An efficient chemoenzymatic route for the synthesis of optically active aromatic ring fused cyclic tertiary alcohols (S)-(-)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol (-)-1b and (S)-(+)-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ol (+)-1a has been developed. Different lipases have been tested in the transesterification of these tertiary alcohols; CAL-A (Candida antarctica Lipase A) was found to be the best biocatalyst for 1b and CAL-A-CLEA (Lipase A, C. antarctica, cross-linked enzyme aggregate) for la, obtained with...
Coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones
Zora, Metin; Bekir Peynircioglu, N. (Elsevier BV, 2002-08-15)
The coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones leads to ferrocenyl-substituted 5-alkylidenefuranones and 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones, methyl ferrocenoate and acetylferrocene in varying amounts. The scope and limitations of these processes are investigated. In comparison with the phenyl analog, ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex has been found to be less reactive. This is also supported by PM3 calculations. The coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones...
Synthesis, characterization, crystal and molecular structure of 1,5-Dihydro-2H-cyclopenta[1,2-b : 5,4-b ']dipyridin-2-imine
Baysal, Akin; Durap, Feyyaz; Gumgum, Bahattin; Yildirim, Leyla T.; Ulku, Dincer; Boga, Ayse Dilek; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 2007-01-01)
The reaction of 1,5-diliydro-2H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b'ldipyridin-2-one (3) with an alkylamine (butvlamine, hexylamine or ethylenediamine) yields, quite unexpectedly and in the absence of catalyst, the novel compound 1,5-dihydro-2H-cyclopentafl,2-b:5.4-b']dipyridin-2-imine (4) as the sole, analytically pure, solid product, which was fully characterized. The structure of 4 was unequivocally solved by single-crystal X-ray-diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic cell (space group P 2(1/...
Zinc perchlorate catalyzed one-pot amination-annulation of alpha-cyanomethyl-beta-ketoesters in water. Regioselective synthesis of 2-aminopyrrole-4-carboxylates
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Emrullahoglu, M (Elsevier BV, 2006-02-13)
In this paper, we report the efficient and regioselective synthesis of 2-aminopyrrole-4-carboxylates as derivatives of conformationally restricted analogues of gamma-amino butyrates (GABA) via a zinc perchlorate catalyzed amination-annulation of alpha-cyanomethyl-beta-ketoesters under mild reaction conditions in water.
An asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethylamine and 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine from 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Gercek-Arkin, Z (Elsevier BV, 2001-09-13)
The selective conversion of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone into (E)- and (Z)-oximes and oxime ethers and subsequent oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction using different amino alcohols furnished both enantiomers of the important chiral building block 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethylamine with e.e. of up to 88%. Oxidation of the furan ring afforded both enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine in 91-93% yields.
