Stereoselective and regioselective intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of aziridinium ions for synthesis of 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines.

ABSTRACT: Optically active 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesized via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts (FC) reactions of aziridinium ions in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. Control experiments suggest the formation and ring-opening of aziridinium ions as the key intermediates in the Lewis acid catalyzed FC reactions.

Diastereoselective ring opening of fully-substituted cyclopropanes via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Project description:We herein disclose a diastereoselective ring opening of non-donor-acceptor cyclopropanes via an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation en route to functionalized dihydronaphthalene scaffolds possessing quaternary carbon stereocentres. The transformation proceeds through a selective bond breaking at the most alkylated carbon centre with a pure retention of configuration. Mechanistic investigations and computational studies revealed that alkoxy functionality is the key for selective bond breaking leading to a complete retention of configuration.

Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Reaction with Trifluoroacetic Acid: Synthesizing Some New Functionalized 9-Aryl/Alkyl Thioxanthenes.

Project description:In this study, a series of halogen-substituted thioxanthenes were synthesized because the most important and biologically active derivatives of xanthenes are thioxanthenes. In order to obtain new thioxanthene derivatives, first, the starting molecules were synthesized by the appropriate reaction methods in two steps. The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation (FCA) method was used to convert the prepared three aromatic substituted starting alcohol compounds to their corresponding thioxanthenes by cyclization. For the intramolecular FCA reaction of secondary alcohols, which are the starting compounds (1a-1t), organic Bro̷nsted acids, which require more innovative, easier, and suitable reaction conditions, were used instead of halide reagents with corrosive effects as classical FCA catalysts. Trifluoroacetic acid was determined to be the organocatalyst with the best yield. Therefore, some original 9-aryl/alkyl thioxanthene derivatives (2a-2t) were synthesized using the optimized FCA method. In addition, a new sulfone derivative of thioxanthene 3i was prepared by performing the oxidation reaction with one of the obtained new thioxanthene 2i. Thioxanthenes and their derivatives are important heterocyclic structures that contain pharmacologically valuable sulfur and are used in the treatment of psychotic diseases such as Alzheimer's or schizophrenia, as well as a number of potent biological activities.

Electrifying Friedel-Crafts Intramolecular Alkylation toward 1,1-Disubstituted Tetrahydronaphthalenes.

Project description:In this work, we successfully employed electrochemical conditions to promote a Hofer-Moest, intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation sequence. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, employing carboxylic acids as starting materials. Notably, the electrochemical process performed in batch was adapted to a continuous flow electrolysis apparatus to provide a significant improvement. This catalyst-free, electrochemical approach produces an array of tetrahydronaphthalenes that could be used for API synthesis.

Biocatalytic Friedel-Crafts Acylation and Fries Reaction.

Project description:The Friedel-Crafts acylation is commonly used for the synthesis of aryl ketones, and a biocatalytic version, which may benefit from the chemo- and regioselectivity of enzymes, has not yet been introduced. Described here is a bacterial acyltransferase which can catalyze Friedel-Crafts C-acylation of phenolic substrates in buffer without the need of CoA-activated reagents. Conversions reach up to >99 %, and various C- or O-acyl donors, such as DAPG or isopropenyl acetate, are accepted by this enzyme. Furthermore the enzyme enables a Fries rearrangement-like reaction of resorcinol derivatives. These findings open an avenue for the development of alternative and selective C-C bond formation methods.

Regioselective Friedel-Crafts Acylation Reaction Using Single Crystalline and Ultrathin Nanosheet Assembly of Scrutinyite-SnO<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Peculiar physicochemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted research interest in developing new synthetic technology and exploring their potential applications in the field of catalysis. Moreover, ultrathin metal oxide nanosheets with atomic thickness exhibit abnormal surficial properties because of the unique 2D confinement effect. In this work, we present a facile and general approach for the synthesis of single crystalline and ultrathin 2D nanosheets assembly of scrutinyite-SnO2 through a simple solvothermal method. The structural and compositional characterization using X-ray diffraction (Rietveld refinement analysis), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and so on reveal that the as-synthesized 2D nanosheets are ultrathin and single crystallized in the scrutinyite-SnO2 phase with high purity. The ultrathin SnO2 nanosheets show predominant growth in the [011] direction on the main surface having a thickness of ca. 1.3 nm. The SnO2 nanosheets are further employed for the regioselective Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize aromatic ketones that have potential significance in chemical industry as synthetic intermediates of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. A series of aromatic substrates acylated over the SnO2 nanosheets have afforded the corresponding aromatic ketones with up to 92% yield under solvent-free conditions. Comprehensive catalytic investigations display the SnO2 nanosheet assembly as a better catalytic material compared to the heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts used so far in the view of its activity and reusability in solvent-free reaction conditions.

Remarkably mild and efficient intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization catalyzed by In(III).

Project description:[structure: see text]. Indium(III) salts were found to be highly effective catalysts for the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of simple allylic bromides and arenes. In(III) salts appear to be the most general and possess unique halophilic properties as a Lewis acid for this reaction among the catalysts evaluated to date. Deactivated arenes possessing chloride, bromide, and fluoride underwent smooth reaction when activated by InCl3.

Transition-metal-free intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction by alkene activation: A method for the synthesis of some novel xanthene derivatives.

Project description:In this work, new derivatives (substituted 9-methyl-9-arylxanthenes) of xanthene compounds (5a-l) of possible biological significance were synthesized by developing a new synthesis method. In order to obtain xanthene derivatives, the original alkene compounds to be used as the starting materials were synthesized in four steps using appropriate reactions. A cyclization reaction by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation was carried out in order to synthesize the desired xanthene derivatives using the alkenes as starting compounds. The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction was catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and provided some novel substituted 9-methyl-9-arylxanthenes with good yields at room temperature within 6-24 hours. As a result, an alkene compound was used for activation with TFA in the synthesis of xanthene through intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation for the first time.

Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation with a silylium-ion-activated cyclopropyl group: formation of tricyclic ring systems from benzyl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes and hydrosilanes.

Project description:A trityl-cation-initiated annulation of benzyl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) with hydrosilanes is reported. Two Si-C(sp3) bonds and one C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond are formed in this process where an intramolecular 6-endo-tet Friedel-Crafts alkylation of a silylium-ion-activated cyclopropane ring is the rate-determining key step. The reaction mechanism is proposed based on computations and is in agreement with experimental observations. The new reaction leads to an unprecedented silicon-containing 6/6/5-fused ring system. A phenethyl-substituted VCP derivative yields another unknown tricycle having 6/6/6 ring fusion by reacting in a related but different way involving a 6-exo-tet ring closure.
