Synthesis of Isoquinolines from Indanones-Total Synthesis of Illudinine
Schmidt reaction of 5-methoxy or 7-methoxyindan-1-ones or their derivatives results exclusively in isocarbostyrils which are converted into 6-methoxy or 8-methoxyisoquinolines in good yields. This strategy has been extended to the total synthesis of illudinine methyl ester (1b) starting from methyl 8-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-7-oxo-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydro-s-indacene-4-carboxylate (4)
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis Based on Cyclohexadienes. Part 16. Synthesis of Methyl 2,7-Dimethyltricyclo (5.2.2.01,5)undec-5-ene-6-carboxylates
Synthesis of methyl 2, 7-dimethyltricyclo{5.2.2.0(1,5}undec-5-en-6-carboxylates, the tricyclic skeleton present in (+)-allo-cedrol (1) is described using the Diels-Alder strategy. Thus, Birch reduction of the aromatic acid 8 gives 5, the methyl ester of which is isomerised with DBU to a 1:1 mixture of the dienes 6 and 4. Cycloaddition of this mixture with 2-chloroacrylonitrile followed by hydrolysis yields the ketone 60 having the tricyclo{5.2.2.0(1.5)}undec-5-ene framework. Similar reaction with methyl vinyl ketone affords the regioisomeric adducts 61 and 62
A novel double friedel-crafts reaction: A new entry into bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane system
A novel synthesis of dibenzobicyclo[3.2.2]nonane systems is described through a double Friedel-Crafts reaction
Synthesis and conformational studies on beta-casomorphin - an opiate peptide from casein
Tandem 5-exo-trig allyl and 3-exo-trig radical cyclisation and rearrangement to copa and ylanga type sesquiterpene skeleton
A novel tandem 5-exo-trig allyl and 3-exo-trig radical cyclisation and rearrangement to copa and ylanga type sesquiterpene skeleton is reported
Synthesis based on cyclohexadienes: Part 26 - Total synthesis of some naturally occurring phthalides from Alternaria species
Total synthesis of the naturally occurring phytotoxic phthalides, silvaticol 7, zinniol 5 and the phthalides 1 and 2, is reported from the substrate 16 derived from the Alder-Rickert reaction of 1-methoxy-2-methyl-3-trimethylslyloxycyclohexa-1,3-diene 15 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate
Synthesis Based On Cyclohexadienes .6. A New Total Synthesis Of (+/-)-Methyl Acorate And (+/-)-Methyl Epi-Acorate
A new method of construction of carbon-carbon bond is described. Thus the dianions generated from the metal-ammonia reduction of substituted benzoic acids readily undergo Michael addition with methyl crotonate resulting in synthetically useful products having a quaternary carbon. Based on this strategy, new syntheses of (+/-)-methyl acorate (14b) and (+/-)-methyl epi-corate (15) are reported
Bridgehead substitution of 1-methoxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct 5-en-2-one derivatives: towards the synthesis of (±)-allo-cedrol [khusiol]1
Preparation of the key intermediates, 11 and 21, required for the synthesis of (+/-)-allo-cedrol (khusiol) is reported by a novel methodology involving the substitution at the bridgehead position of 1-methoxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one derivative
