A simple and efficient synthetic method towards α-substituted acrylic esters has been developed using the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction with HCHO after alkylation of phosphonoacetates in a one-pot reaction. This method allows the smooth introduction of various side-chains, such as natural amino acids and other biologically relevant substituents. The use of mild conditions, inexpensive reagents, short reaction times and simple work-up and purification steps provides an effective and general alternative to cumbersome multistep and low-yielding procedures described to date.

The significant Pd0 content and optimum bonding of the reactant & product (higher adsorption energy of benzyl phenyl ether and lower desorption energy for phenol) are responsible for the exceptional catalytic activity of Pd/Ce-MOF.

Amides represent an important class of compounds in chemistry, chemical biology and pharmaceutical industry. Their broad utility in many fields is closely tied to the structure of the amide moiety which endows these compounds with unique features. The low reactivity of amide carbonyls towards nucleophiles is a major obstacle to their further functionalization. Selective activation of amides and lactams enables access to novel reactivity pathways and opens up intriguing perspectives in synthesis. Recently, we have demonstrated that upon treatment with Cp2Zr(H)Cl (Schwartz’s reagent), five- and six-membered lactams, including sugar- and hydroxy acid-derived lactams, can be easily converted into imines under mild conditions. In addition, as was also shown, in situ generated cyclic imines can be directly subjected to further reactions with nucleophilic reagents such as allyltributylstannane, Grignard reagents, enolates or Danishefsky’s diene to afford α-functionalized pyrrolidines, piperidines and polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine peptidomimetic scaffolds in a one-pot manner. The key advantage of the presented approach is the simplicity and convenience of generation of sugar-derived imines from readily available starting materials: sugar-derived lactams. The use of sugar-derived lactams as cyclic imine precursors is crucial to the efficiency of the described synthetic method. These compounds are more readily prepared, handled, and stored than the alternative precursors of cyclic imines such as nitrones, N-chloroamines or azido aldehydes. In the second part of the lecture a method for preparing 2,3-disubstituted indoles from commercially available isatins will be briefly presented.

The reaction of alkyl phenyl ethers with sodium chlorite in dichloromethane in the presence of a (salen)manganese(III) complex and alumina preloaded with a small amount of water afforded monochlorination products with unusually high para selectivities under mild conditions. The NaClO2-based biphasic system can also be successfully used for the regioselective monochlorination of substituted anisoles and polymethoxybenzenes. Keywords: aromatic chlorination, alkyl aryl ethers, sodium chlorite, (salen)manganese(III) complex, alumina.
