Regio- and stereoselective ring-opening reactions of cyclopropenones. α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones via additions of trichlorocyclopropenylium ions to alkenes
The 2-chloro-3-(2′-chloroalkyl)cyclopropenones 4, readily obtained by hydrolysis of the adducts of the trichlorocyclopropenylium ion onto alkenes, thermally rearrange to propiolic acid chlorides 6. Treatment of 4 with TosOH·H2O in CH2Cl2 yields the (E)-3-chloro-2-(2′-chloroalkyl)acrylic acids 9, which have been converted in two simple steps to -methylene-γ-butyrolactones 11 with good overall yields
A Facile Synthesis of N-fmoc Protected Amino/peptidyl Weinreb Amides Employing Acid Chlorides as Key Intermediates
An efficient, cost effective method for the preparation of N-Fmoc α-amino/ peptidyl Weinreb amides from the corresponding acid chlorides has been described. The synthesis of acid chlorides was accelerated by ultrasonication and were coupled with N,O

compounds. All the prepated compound were isolated as stable solids after workup and have been fully characterized by IR, 1H NMR,13C NMR and mass spectroscopy
Preparation of a Series of Substituted N-Phenyl-5-Bromo-6-Chloro- and 5-Bromo-6-Chloronicotinates of Potential Agricultural Interest
Substituted phenyl esters of 5-bromo-2-chloronicotinic acid and 5 bromo 6-chloronicotinic acid were prepared. The acids were first converted to their respective acid chlorides using thionyl chloride, and the acid chlorides were immediately transformed to the esters by treatment with the appropriately substituted phenol in sodium hydroxide solution. Aunique chloride displacement of bromide was observed on attempting to convert 5,6-dibromonicotinic acid to its acid chlorid
Isolation, X-ray Structures, and Electronic Spectra of Reactive Intermediates in Friedel−Crafts Acylations
Reactive intermediates in the Friedel−Crafts acylation of aromatic donors are scrutinized upon their successful isolation and X-ray crystallography at very low temperatures. Detailed analyses of the X-ray parameters for the [1:1] complexes of different aliphatic and aromatic-acid chlorides with the Lewis acids antimony pentafluoride and pentachloride, gallium trichloride, titanium and zirconium tetrachlorides provide unexpected insight into the activation mechanism for the formation of the critical acylium carbocations. Likewise, the X-ray-structure examinations of aliphatic and aromatic acylium electrophiles also isolated as crystalline salts point to the origins of their electrophilic reactivity. Although the Wheland intermediates (as acylium adducts to arene donors) could not be isolated in crystalline form owing to their exceedingly short lifetimes, transient (UV−vis) spectra of benzenium adducts of acylium carbocations with hexamethylbenzene can be measured and directly related to Wheland intermediates with other cationic electrophiles that have been structurally established via X-ray studies
Oxidation of unvulcanized, unstabilized polychloroprene: A kinetic study
Thermal oxidation in air at atmospheric pressure, in the 80-140 °C temperature range and in oxygen at 100 °C in the 0.02-3 MPa pressure range, of unvulcanized, unstabilized, unfilled polychloroprene (CR) has been characterized using FTIR and chlorine concentration measurement. The kinetic analysis was focused on double bond consumption. A mechanistic scheme involving unimolecular and bimolecular hydroperoxide decomposition, oxygen addition to alkyl radicals, hydrogen abstraction on allylic methylenes, alkyl and peroxyl additions to double bonds and terminations involving alkyl and peroxy radicals was elaborated. The corresponding rate constants were partly extracted from the literature and partly determined from experimental data using the kinetic model derived from the mechanistic scheme in an inverse approach. Among the specificities of polychloroprene, the following were revealed: The rate of double bond consumption is a hyperbolic function of oxygen pressure that allows a law previously established for the oxidation of saturated substrates to be generalized. CR oxidation is characterized by the absence of an induction period that reveals the instability of hydroperoxides. The kinetic analysis also reveals that peroxyl addition is faster than hydrogen abstraction but slower in CR than in common hydrocarbon polydienes
Stereodivergent, Diels-Alder-initiated organocascades employing α,β-unsaturated acylammonium salts: scope, mechanism, and application.
Chiral α,β-unsaturated acylammonium salts are novel dienophiles enabling enantioselective Diels-Alder-lactonization (DAL) organocascades leading to cis- and trans-fused, bicyclic γ- and δ-lactones from readily prepared dienes, commodity acid chlorides, and a chiral isothiourea organocatalyst under mild conditions. We describe extensions of stereodivergent DAL organocascades to other racemic dienes bearing pendant secondary and tertiary alcohols, and application to a formal synthesis of (+)-dihydrocompactin is described. A combined experimental and computational investigation of unsaturated acylammonium salt formation and the entire DAL organocascade pathway provide a rationalization of the effect of Brønsted base additives and enabled a controllable, diastereodivergent DAL process leading to a full complement of possible stereoisomeric products. Evaluation of free energy and enthalpy barriers in conjunction with experimentally observed temperature effects revealed that the DAL is a rare case of an entropy-controlled diastereoselective process. NMR analysis of diene alcohol-Brønsted base interactions and computational studies provide a plausible explanation of observed stabilization of exo transition-state structures through hydrogen-bonding effects

Para-nitroaniline was reacted with acid chlorides forming amides. Their structures were elucidated by the performance of various spectral analyses
Organoboranes in organic synthesis
Aryl ketonetrisylhydrazones were found to react with trialkylboranes, in the presence of base, to generate the corresponding aromatic alkanes in good to excellent yields. Alkyl aldehydetrisylhydrazones also participate under the same reaction conditions to produce aliphatic alcohols in good yields upon oxidation. The effects of the solvent and the aromatic leaving group were also examined. The Suzuki coupling of acid chlorides with trialkylboranes were also evaluated. Both aromatic and aliphatic acid chlorides were alkylated to generate the analogous ketone in good yields. The synthesis of a boronated 1,5-diarylpyrrazole was attempted. Evidence suggests the desired product was produced
