Functionalized γ-butyrolactones are privileged structures in the field of medicinal chemistry; they are found in numerous natural products and synthetic compounds with diverse biological activities. The oxidative ring contraction of 3,4-dihydropyran-2-one derivatives represents a promising yet underappreciated strategy to access these compounds. To the best of our knowledge, very few examples of this strategy have been reported, with limited investigation of the influence of stereogenic centers on the starting dihydropyranones. We investigated the iodine(III)-mediated contraction of a representative set of dihydropyranone derivatives. The method gives rapid access to functionalized γ-butyrolactones in good yields. The reaction scope was investigated, and the method was found to support various levels of substituents, even enabling access to sterically congested quaternary centers. The stereoselectivity was investigated using chiral substrates and a chiral iodine(III) reagent.

By treating arylidenemalononitriles with methyl 2,4-dioxobutanoates, derivatives of 4H-pyrans - methyl 3-acyl-6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-4H-pyran-2- carboxylates - are obtained, which are novel, promising structural components for the synthesis of carbo- and
Reductive Cleavage of Arylcyclopropyl Ketones

Arylcyclopropyl aryl ketones undergo clean but slow reductive cleavage to 4-arylbutyrophenones when heated with zinc in ethanol.Replacement of one the aryl groups by an alkyl group strongly inhibits reaction.This effect is in part overcome by the use of a higher boiling alcohol.When substituted at the cyclopropyl methylene position by an ethoxycarbonyl group these cyclopropyl ketones also undergo cleavage but with the unexpected formation of the ethyl 3,5-diaryl-5-oxopentanoates (22).In general, the results are consistent with the formation of an anion-radical intermediate.
