A Facile Synthesis of N -Alkoxyacylimidoyl Halides from α-Nitro Ketones and Alkyl Halides in the Presence of NaHSO4/SiO2

A novel method was developed for the synthesis of N-alkoxyacylimidoyl halide by the reaction of α-nitro ketone and alkyl halides in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2. Nitrile oxides that are generated from α-nitro ketones by silica gel sup

Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of Polyfunctional Triarylmethanes and 1,1-Diarylalkanes by Sequential Cross-Coupling of Benzal Diacetates with Organozinc Reagents

A variety of functionalized triarylmethane and 1,1-diarylalkane derivatives were prepared via a transition-metal-free, one-pot and two-step procedure, involving the reaction of various benzal diacetates with organozinc reagents. A sequential cross-coupling is enabled by changing the solvent from THF to toluene, and a two-step SN1-type mechanism was proposed and evidenced by experimental studies. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of several biologically relevant molecules, such as an anti-tuberculosis agent, an anti-breast cancer agent, a precursor of a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, and a FLAP inhibitor.

An Efficient Ga(OTf)3/Isopropanol Catalytic System for Direct Reduction of Benzylic Alcohols

This study aims to report the first gallium-catalyzed direct reduction of benzylic alcohols using isopropanol as a reductant. The reaction proceeds via gallium catalyst-assisted hydride transfer of the in situ-generated benzylic isopropyl ether. The method generates only water and acetone as byproducts and thus provides an atom-economic and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of di- and triarylmethanes, which are important substructures in various bioactive compounds and functional materials.
