Reaction of ferrocenylcarbene complexes of Cr, Mo and W with alkynes: Synthesis of ferrocenylcyclobutenones, ferrocenylfurans and ferrocenylketoesters

2001-07-09
Ferrocenylcarbene complexes of Cr, Mo and W react with alkynes to produce cyclobutenones, furans and/or ketoesters. The reaction is quite sensitive to the substituents of the alkyne, regardless of the identity of the metal. Cyclobutenones are formed only in the reactions of diphenylacetylene, a rare occurrence for metal carbene complexes. Ketoesters are secondary reaction products and result From oxidation of furan derivatives during the course of the reaction and/or silica-gel chromatography.

Ozer, G; Saracoglu, N; Menzek, A; Balcı, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-07)
Inverse-Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5 -tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate with benzene cis-diol gave dihydrodiol coninini 2 the 1,4-dihydropyridazine ring. Attempts at oxidation of the dihydropyridazine ring with PIFA and MnO2, resulted in the formation of 5- and 5,6-dihydroxy-phthalazine derivatives. The oxidation of the dihydropyfidazine ring was achieved by way of photooxygenation. The phthalazine type dihydrodiol is unstable and easily undergoes aromatization. The Diels-Alder reaction of tetrazine w...
Coupling of cyclopropylcarbene-chromium complex with ferrocenyl alkynes: synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl-5-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones and 4-ferrocenyl-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones
Zora, Metin; Bueyuekguengoer, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-07)
The coupling of ferrocenyl alkynes with cyclopropylcarbene-chromium complex leads to ferrocenyl-substituted 2-cyclopentenones with or without a hydroxy substituent, namely 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones, 2-cyclobutenones, and alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes in varying amounts. The reaction initially produces a cyclopentadienone intermediate, then to the double bond of which, bearing a ferrocenyl group, addition of water occurs to afford hydroxy-substituted 2-cyclopentenones. In all the products, the hydroxy gr...
Synthesis of chiral acetoxy lactones via the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic aromatic acetoxy ketones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Aybey, Asuman (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01)
The alpha-acetoxylation of indanones and tetralones by using Mn(OAc)(3) followed by the enzyme catalyzed kinetic resolution of acetoxy ketones furnished both of the enantiomers of alpha-acetoxy ketones in good chemical and optical yields. The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of alpha-acetoxy ketones with m-CPBA, CF(3)SO(3)H, and CH(2)O(2), at rt gives the corresponding lactones without racemization. The acetoxy ketone moiety migrates selectively in order to form lactones. The mild hydrolysis of lactones affords ph...
Reactions of acyl phosphonates with organoaluminum reagents: a new method for the synthesis of secondary and tertiary alpha-hydroxy phosphonates
Seven, Ozlem; Polat-Cakir, Sidika; Hossain, Md. Shakhawoat; Emrullahoglu, Mustafa; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-13)
The reactions of organoaluminum reagents (trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, etc.) with aryl and alkyl acyl phosphonates, which lead to the formation of alpha-hydroxy phosphonates in moderate to good yields, are reported. This method provides easy access to secondary and tertiary alpha-hydroxy phosphonates depending on the reaction conditions. The reactions of triethylaluminum with a series of acyl phosphonates at 0 degrees C gave the secondary alpha-hydroxy phosphonates, while at -100 degrees C they affo...
