Double cationic propargylation: From linear to polycyclic ethers
Diaz, David,Martin, Tomas,Martin, Victor S.
, p. 3289 - 3291 (2001)
Equation presented The trapping of cations generated from Co2(CO)6-bispropargylic alcohols provided diethers in good yield. The procedure is also valid when two vicinal acetylenes are present. The methodology can be applied to the sy
A scalable synthesis of (+)-coronafacic acid

A facile, efficient, and scalable synthesis of optically pure coronafacic acid by resolution of racemic coronafacic acid obtained using an improved version of Watson's method has been developed. By optimizing the boron-mediated aldol reaction of Watson, we were able to prepare 2.1 g of racemic coronafacic acid. This was coupled with (S)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone to give a mixture of diastereomeric coronafacyl oxazolidinones, which were readily separable by silica-gel column chromatography to give 630 mg of optically pure (+)-coronafacic acid.
4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP): Application as an Organic Reaction Solvent

4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP) is a hydrophobic cyclic ether with potential for industrial applications. We herein report, for the first time, a comprehensive study on the performance of 4-MeTHP as an organic reaction solvent. Its broad application to organic reactions includes radical, Grignard, Wittig, organometallic, halogen-metal exchange, reduction, oxidation, epoxidation, amidation, esterification, metathesis, and other miscellaneous organic reactions. This breadth suggests 4-MeTHP can serve as a substitute for conventional ethers and harmful halogenated solvents. However, 4-MeTHP was found incompatible with strong Lewis acids, and the C?O bond was readily cleaved by treatment with BBr3. Moreover, the radical-based degradation pathways of 4-MeTHP, THP and 2-MeTHF were elucidated on the basis of GC-MS analyses. The data reported herein is anticipated to be useful for a broad range of synthetic chemists, especially industrial process chemists, when selecting the reaction solvent with green chemistry perspectives.
Au-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of gem-difluorinated alkynols
Hamel, Jean-Denys,Paquin, Jean-Fran?ois
, p. 11 - 23 (2018/10/20)
The intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of gem-difluorinated alkynols was found possible under Au catalysis, allowing for the preparation of a series of fluorinated heterocycles. The nature of the solvent was found to be especially critical in the cyclizatio
