Synthesis of seven-membered ring analogues of ketamine was studied with two strategies. In the first approach a sequence of five reactions was used which previously applied for ketamine synthesis. This strategy led to formation of 1-[(2-chlorophenyl)(methylimino)methyl]cyclohexan-1-ol as a precursor for the target molecule. In the second approach, we have designed and attempted to synthesize a new analogue of ketamine applying challenging reactions such as ring expansion and selective bromination. The result of this route is synthesis of some interesting compounds such as 6-phenyl-1-oxa-4-thiaspiro[4.6]undecane, 3-bromo-6-phenyl-1-oxa-4-thiaspiro[4.6]undecane and 2,7-dibromo-2-phenylcycloheptanone.

Catalytic ring opening of five- to eight-membered lactones with quinones is achieved through a redox chain mechanism. With low loading of a simple metal triflate Lewis acid catalyst and a chain initiator, C-H bonds of many quinones were efficiently functionalized with carboxylic acid-containing side chains. This method also features 100% atom economy and wide substrate scope. A novel route to the anti-asthma drug Seratrodast was developed. Mechanism study suggests that the redox chain reaction likely undergoes a carbocation intermediate.

A three-step sequence for the synthesis of α-arylated cyclohexanones and the most challenging cycloheptanones is reported. First, an efficient one-pot synthesis of β,β'-disubstituted benzylidene cycloalkanes (styrenes) using the palladium-catalyzed Barluenga reaction from readily available feedstock chemicals is described. Furthermore, an epoxidation followed by the House-Meinwald rearrangement (HMR) of spiro-epoxides is reported to produce a number of α-arylated cycloalkanones upon ring expansion. Reactions catalyzed by bismuth triflate underwent quasi-exclusively ring expansion for all substrates (electronically poor and rich), with yields ranging from 15% to 95%, thus demonstrating the difficulty of achieving ring enlargement for electron-deficient spiro-epoxides. On the other hand, by means of catalysis with aluminum trichloride, the rearrangement of spiro-epoxides proceeded typically in high yields and with remarkable regioselectivity on a broader substrate scope. In this case, a switch of regioselectivity was achieved for spiro-epoxides with electron-withdrawing substituents which enable the method to be successfully extended to some chemospecific arene shifts and the synthesis of aldehydes bearing a α-quaternary carbon. While the HMR has been extensively studied for smaller ring enlargement, we are pleased to report herein that larger cyclohexanones and cycloheptanones can be obtained efficiently from more sterically demanding trisubstituted spiro-epoxides bearing electron-releasing and electron-neutral arene substituents.
