Exerting control over the acyloin reaction.

چکیده
A synthetic method for conducting the acyloin reaction using electron transfer in solution is reported. By linking two esters via their oxygen atoms, it was possible to perform crossed acyloin reactions between two different ester functionalities and display a high degree of preference for an intramolecular coupling process.

Benzaldehyde lyase-catalyzed enantioselective carboligation of aromatic aldehydes with mono- and dimethoxy acetaldehyde.
[reaction: see text] Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with methoxy and dimethoxy acetaldehyde and furnishes (R)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one and (R)-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one in high yields and enantiomeric excess via acyloin linkage. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-li...
متن کاملA DFT investigation of the blue bottle experiment: E∘half-cell analysis of autoxidation catalysed by redox indicators
The blue bottle experiment is a collective term for autoxidation reactions catalysed by redox indicators. The reactions are characterized by their repeatable cycle of colour changes when shaken/left to stand and intricate chemical pattern formation. The blue bottle experiment is studied based on calculated solution-phase half-cell reduction potential of related reactions. Our investigation conf...
متن کاملHighly chemoselective direct crossed aliphatic-aromatic acyloin condensations with triazolium-derived carbene catalysts.
It has been shown for the first time that triazolium precatalysts promote (in the presence of base) highly chemoselective crossed acyloin condensation reactions between aliphatic and ortho-substituted aromatic aldehydes. An o-bromine atom can serve as a temporary directing group to ensure high chemoselectivity (regardless of the nature of the other substituents on the aromatic ring) which then ...
متن کاملAcyloin formation by benzoylformate decarboxylase from Pseudomonas putida.
Whole cells and cell extracts of Pseudomonas putida grown in a medium containing ammonium mandelate have the capacity to produce the acyloin compound 2-hydroxypropiophenone when incubated with benzoylformate and acetaldehyde. Benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol were formed as reaction by-products. The enantiomeric excess of the 2-hydroxypropiophenone product was found to be 91 to 92%. The absolute ...
متن کاملSynthesis of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide analogues and crystal structure of 2-carbomethoxy-3-hydroxyquinoxaline-di-N-oxide.
A series of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide analogues were prepared from benzofurazan N-oxide derivatives and β-diketone ester compounds by the improved Beirut reaction. The structures of the target products were characterized by NMR, MS, IR and elemental analysis measurements, and that of 2-carbomethoxy-3-hydroxyquinoxaline- di-N-oxide was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its ...
