Synthesis of isopropyl-substituted anthraquinones via Friedel–Crafts acylations: migration of isopropyl groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Friedel-Crafts reactions of isopropyl-substituted benzenes with phthalic anhydride in the presence of aluminium trichloride, followed by cyclization of the products with strong sulfuric acid give, as expected, anthraquinones. The syntheses, however, often afford more than one anthraquinone. In some cases the isopropyl groups migrate cleanly to other ring positions; in other cases they are lost.

Synthesis of enantiomerically enriched indolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines from (S)-amino acid-derived chiral carbocations: an easy access to (3S,4R)-demethoxy-3-isopropyl diclofensine.
Enantiomerically enriched indolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesized within 5 min to 2 h in high yields from easily accessible (S)-amino acid derived chiral carbocations. The diastereoselective Friedel-Crafts reaction is promoted by a Lewis acid (AlCl3) offering trans-diastereoselectivity. The rate of the reaction and diastereoselectivity of the product are significantly influenced ...

The FeCl3·6H2O-catalyzed three-component aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of aromatic/heteroaromatic compounds, aromatic aldehydes and tert-butyl carbamate was reported. The subsequent Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation of the resulting tert-butyl diarylmethyl carbamate with heteroaromatic compounds under "open-flask" at room temperature was also performed. The two-step reaction was especially useful fo...
