The development of new catalytic asymmetric reactions continues to be a major goal in organic chemistry. Here we report a novel antibody-catalyzed intramolecular Michael addition of aldehydes and ketones to enones. The reaction is enantioselective and diastereoselective with a high ee value and cis/trans ratio. This is the first example of asymmetric intramolecular Michael addition of ketones. ...

An efficient cyclization of 2’-hydroxychalcone to flavanone using calcium chloride as a catalyst was developed. The scope of the reaction was studied with substituted 2’-hydroxychalcone and these chalcones was converted into corresponding flavanone in good yield. The merits of this method are inexpensive and easily available catalyst, easy workup procedure, avoid use of toxic solvent

A convenient synthesis of benzyl-gamma-butyrolactone derivatives via intramolecular Michael addition reaction of nitro-substituted aryl allyl beta-ketocarboxylates is reported. The method features simple operation, mild reaction conditions and high efficiency.

The mechanism of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed intramolecular Stetter reaction of salicylaldehyde 1 to yield chromanone 3 has been theoretically studied at the B3LYP/6-31G** level. This NHC-catalyzed reaction takes place through six elementary steps, which involve: (i) formation of the Breslow intermediate IN2; (ii) an intramolecular Michael-Type addition in IN2 to form the new C-C...

A highly enantio- and diastereoselective intramolecular Stetter reaction has been developed. Subjection of alpha,alpha-disubstituted Michael acceptors to an asymmetric intramolecular Stetter reaction results in a highly enantioselective conjugate addition and a diastereoselective proton transfer. Available evidence suggests the diastereoselective protonation occurs via intramolecular delivery t...
