A facile synthesis of (+/-)-mintlactone

1997-01-01
(+/-)-Mintlactone has been synthesized by applying a novel effective synthetic sequence. 4-Methylcyclohexanone was subjected to acetoxylation with Pb(OAc)(4). Hydrolysis followed by reaction with 2-chloroprogionyl chloride,then treatment with triethyl phosphite and, finally, Horner-Emmons-type intramolecular cyclization afforded (+/-)-Mintlactone.

A facile synthesis of various butenolides
Tanyeli, Cihangir (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01)
The synthesis of alpha'-acyloxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic ketones from the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic ketones by using manganese (III) acetate in combination with 2-chloropropionic acid followed by subsequent Arbuzov and intramolecular Horner-Emmons cyclization reactions provided a convenient synthetic pathway to various butenolides 4a-d.
A new approach for the synthesis of spiro and gem-dimethyl-substituted 1,4-oxazepines from N-propargylic beta-enaminones
Karadeniz, Eda; Kelgökmen, Yılmaz; Zora, Metin (Wiley, 2020-11-01)
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of spiro-1,4-oxazepines and 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines is reported. When treated with ZnI2 and AgSbF6 in refluxing DCE, cyclohexane-embedded N-propargylic beta-enaminones underwent 7-exo-dig cyclization to afford spiro-1,4-oxazepines, specifically 12-methylene-11-oxa-7-azaspiro[5.6]dodeca-7,9-dienes, in good to high yields. Accordingly, N-(1,1-dimethyl)propargylic beta-enaminones produced 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines. Cyclization was found to be general for ...
One-Pot Synthesis of Spiro-2H-pyrroles fromN-Propargylic beta-Enaminones
KARADENİZ, EDA; Zora, Metin (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2019-06-01)
A simple and general one-pot method for the synthesis of spiro-2 H -pyrroles has been developed. Initially, cyclohexane-embedded -enaminones with internal alkyne functionality were synthesized by conjugate addition of 1-ethynylcyclohexylamine to ,-alkynic ketones, followed by palladium-catalyzed coupling of the resulting N -propargylic -enaminones with aryl iodides. When subjected to basic conditions, the cyclohexane-embedded -enaminones with internal alkyne functionality underwent tandem nucleophilic cycli...
Synthesis of 1,2,3,5- tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives via 5-exo-dig type cyclization and stereoselective functionalisation of ferrocene derivatives
Kayalar, Metin; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2005)
A convenient and new method for the synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives starting from 1,3,-dicarbonyl compounds through acid catalyzed cyclization reaction is described. Alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with propargyl bromide followed by one step cyclization with the introduction of primary amines in the presence of catalytic amount of triflouroacetic acid (TFA) affords the corresponding pyrrole derivatives in high yields. The investigations on the studies of developing a new meth...
Synthesis of camptothecin derivatives
Duygu, Arife Neşe; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2005)
This study presents synthetic studies on camptothecin, a potent antitumor agent in order to improve its stability and solubility without reducing its activity. The study consists of the modification of camptothecin at 20-OH position a new strategy for the targeted and controlled release of the drug and modification at C-7 position to overcome the stability and solubility problems of the free drug. In the first part of the study, the 20-OH functional group of camptothecin was replaced with an unsymmetrical b...
