A convenient synthesis of 4,8,9-trimethoxybenz[ <i>f</i> ] indenone, a potential BCD ring intermediate for stealthins and kinamycins†
994-996A convenient regiospecitic synthesis of
4,8,9- trimethoxybenz[ f ] indenone 6 has been developed which involves Hauser reaction
between phthalide sulfone 3 and enone 4, followed by O-methylation
of 5a and retro Diels-Alder reaction of 5b
A Representative Synthetic Route for C5 Angucycline Glycosides: Studies Directed toward the Total Synthesis of Mayamycin
This study discloses
an efficient synthetic route for the regiospecific
construction of a C5 glycoside angucycline representative of mayamycin.
The key steps are intramolecular aldol condensation and Hauser annulation, and the key precursor for the aldol reaction is accessible through utilization
of α-lithiation of a vinyl ether
Total Synthesis of Chlorocyclinone A, a PPAR‑γ Antagonist
The first total synthesis of chlorocyclinone A (<b>1</b>)
is regioselectively completed in 28 steps. The key steps are Pd-catalyzed
methoxycarbonylation, unprecedented Hauser annulation, Krohn photo-oxidation,
and regioselective <i>gem</i>-dichlorination
Regiodefined synthesis of brominated hydroxyanthraquinones related to proisocrinins
Dibromobenzoisofuranone 12, synthesized in six steps, was regiospecifically annulated with 5-substituted cyclohexenones 13/36 in the presence of LiOt-Bu to give brominated anthraquinones 14/38 in good yields. Darzens condensation of 30 was shown to give chain-elongated anthraquinone 32. Alkaline hydrolysis of 38 furnished 39 representing desulfoproisocrinin F
Anionic Annulation of 3‑Cyanophthalides with Allene Carboxylates: A Carbon-Conserved Synthesis of Naphtho[<i>b</i>]furanones
The reaction of 3-cyanophthalides
with allene carboxylates in the
presence of <sup><i>t</i></sup>BuOLi results in a tandem
annulation furnishing naphtho[<i>b</i>]furanones in good
yields with no loss of carbon. The carbon economy is explained by
a tandem process, in which the initially expelled cyanide induces
the second annulation
Transpositive Tandem Annulation of Phthalides with Allene Carboxylates: Regioselective Synthesis of Arylnaphthalene Lignans
Allene
carboxylates, scarcely used as Michael acceptors, serve
as acceptors in the annulation with phthalides in the presence of
LDA and provide a one-pot synthesis of naphtho[<i>c</i>]furanones
in very good yields. This tandem annulation is proposed to proceed
via transposition of the hydroxy group resulting from the initial
annulation

Applications of [4+2] Anionic Annulation and Carbonyl-Ene Reaction in the Synthesis of Anthraquinones, Tetrahydroanthraquinones, and Pyranonaphthoquinones
Hexa-2,5-dienoates,
susceptible to isomerization by acids and bases,
are suitable for the [4+2] anionic annulation to give 3-(2-alkenyl)naphthoates
in regiospecific manner. When combined with intramolecular carbonyl-ene
reaction (ICE), the accessibility of the naphthoates culminates in
a new synthesis of anthraquinones and diastereoselective synthesis
of tetrahydroanthraquinones. This strategy has also resulted in a
3-step synthesis of dehydroherbarin from a 3-methallylnaphthoate
Characterization of charge-transfer complex formation between 3, 6-diamino-9<i>H</i>-carbazole and 3,6-dinitro-9<i>H</i>-carbazole
271-276Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction
between 3,6-diamino-9H-carbazole (DAC) as the donor, and 3,6-dinitro-9H-carbazole
(DNC) as the acceptor, has been characterized from IR spectral, differential scanning
calorimetric (DSC), and X-ray diffraction analyses, in addition to UV-vis spectral
studies. Benesi-Hildebrand plots of the DAC-DNC system in acetonitrile at 300 K
in the wavelength range of 620-660 nm indicate a strong EDA interaction with both
the thermodynamic formation constant K. and the molar absorptivity ελ.
of the order of two. IR spectral, DSC, and XRD data also clearly indicate a
strong EDA interaction even in their 1:1 molar mixture in solid state
