Regioselection in the synthesis of 4-benzyltetral-1-ones and the new 4-arylbenzosuber-1-ones

The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4,5-diarylpentanoic acids has the possibility to cyclise to either a 6-membered ring to give 4-benzyltetral-1-one or a 7-membered ring to give 4-arylbenzosuber-1-one. Of these, only the former compound class has previously been reported. The impact of the substituents positioning on the outcome of the cyclisation has been investigated. The complete formation of either the tetralone or the benzosuberone regioisomer was possible under the same reaction conditions, dependent upon the ring activation and/or deactivation of the chosen substituents. Selected bromo or methoxy substituents could be used as auxiliaries, included in precursors to afford the desired regioisomer and then subsequently removed.

The palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of ketones with readily available nitroarenes and nitroheteroarenes provides access to useful α-aryl and α-heteroaryl ketones. The use of the Pd/ BrettPhos catalysts was critical to achieve high efficiency for these transformations, whereas other catalysts led to decreased yields or no conversions. The intramolecular type substrate was also applied in this methodology and gave a chromone derivative. Polyaromatic carbonyl compounds can be easily obtained by multicomponent tandem reactions, via nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) or cross-coupling reaction followed by this denitrative arylation. Kinetic experiments show that the electronic effect of nitrobenzenes has a greater effect on the reaction rate than the electronic effect of ketones.
Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/cyclization of oximes with alkenes for regioselective synthesis of isoquinolines

A Rh(iii)-catalyzed C-H activation/cyclization of oximes and alkenes for facile and regioselective access to isoquinolines has been developed. This protocol features mild reaction conditions and easily accessible starting materials, and has been applied to the concise synthesis of moxaverine. A kinetic isotope effect study was conducted and a plausible mechanism was proposed.
