The synthesis of β-arylated alkylamides via alkyl C-H bond arylation has been realized by means of direct one-pot reactions of acyl chlorides, aryl iodides and 8-aminoquinoline. Depending on the structure of the starting materials, both single and double β-arylated alkylamides could be accessed.

1his thesis is the flfst report of reactions of atomic calbon with acid chlorides. Carbon is known to react with phosgene to afford dichlorocarbene. We report a similar reaction with carbon and acid ch~lorides, generating alkylchlorocarbenes. We examine both the nature of the carbene products generated through deoxygenation and the general reacliviry ofcarbon with the acid chlorides. We report ...

WITH THE growing interest in the metabolism of cholesterol esters, procedures have been developed which frequently make desirable the use of chemically pure compounds. Some of the radioactive cholesterol esters are either commercially unavailable or expensive when made to order. The high cost of the starting materials (cholesterol-4-CI4, pure fatty acids) makes it desirable to have a good yield...

The preparation of substituted pyrrolizines through the Schmidt reaction of acyl chlorides with alkyl azides has been realized. Intramolecular capture of the isocyanate ion and N-acyliminium ion intermediates from the Schmidt process with alkene or alkyne units was achieved, and the efficiency of the conversion with respect to ring construction and bond formation was demonstrated.

A novel cyclization process of 2,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diene with various acyl chlorides in the presence of aluminium trichloride affords 2,5-disubstituted or 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans in short reaction time; a subsequent acylation process of the furan ring occurs if the reaction time is prolonged.

Quinazolinones are interesting molecules with a wide range of biological activities. We prepared a number of quinazolinone derivatives by the condensation of 5-bromo- or 5-nitro-substituted anthranilic acids with chloro-acyl chlorides. Anthranilic acid derivatives were treated with either 3-chloro-propionyl chloride or 4-chloro-butyryl chloride to yield the corresponding N-acyl-anthranilic acid...

Since the first report and due to its handiness and wide scope, the Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) cross coupling reaction has become a routine methodology in many laboratories worldwide. With respect to other common transition metal catalyzed cross couplings, the SM reaction has been so far less exploited as a tool to introduce an acyl function into a specific substrate. In this review, the various appro...

The specific rates of solvolysis of S-methyl chlorothioformate (MeSCOCl) are analyzed in 20 solvents of widely varying nucleophilicity and ionizing power at 25.0 degrees C using the extended Grunwald-Winstein Equation. A stepwise S(N)1 (D(N) + A(N)) mechanism is proposed in the more ionizing solvents including six aqueous fluoroalcohols. In these solvents, a large sensitivity value of 0.79 towa...

Acyl chlorides are highly reactive and widely used substrates in catalytic cross-coupling reactions, but so far, site selectivity over other functional groups has remained an issue. In this work, Pd complexes deriving from the phosphine-boranes [i-Pr2P(o-C6H4)](2)BFXyl i-Pr2P(o-C6H4)-BFXyl(2) (Fxyl = 3,5-(F3C)(2)C6H3) were found to preferentially activate acyl C-I, C-Br, C-Cl, C-OTf, C-OTs bond...
