Lys-derived alkaloids widely distributed in plant kingdom have received considerable attention and have been intensively studied; however, little is known about their biosynthetic mechanisms. In terms of the skeleton formation, for example, of quinolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis, only the very first two steps have been identified and the later steps remain unknown. In addition, there is no available information on the number of enzymes and reactions required for their skeletal construction. The involvement of the Δ 1 -piperideine dimerization has been proposed for some of the Lys-derived alkaloid biosyntheses, but no enzymes for this dimerization reaction have been reported to date; moreover, it is not clear whether this dimerization reaction proceeds spontaneously or enzymatically. In this study, the energetic viability of the Δ 1 -piperideine dimerizations under neutral and acidic conditions was assessed using the density functional theory computations. In addition, a similar type of reaction in the dipiperidine indole alkaloid, nitramidine, biosynthesis was also investigated. Our findings will be useful to narrow down the candidate genes involved in the Lys-derived alkaloid biosynthesis.

The on-surface dimerization reaction of an organic nitrile on Au(111) is reported. The reaction cascade yielding a diazapyrene core was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, computational studies and reference compounds.

1,4-Diketones have been synthesized via a reductive homocoupling of α-haloketones. Addition of a Grignard reagent to titanium(IV) isopropoxide affords a low-valent titanium(III) intermediate that is believed to mediate a radical dimerization reaction. The reaction works well for a variety of aromatic α-haloketones including heteroaromatic compounds.

Irradiation of 2,4-cyclooctadienone (1) in benzene or toluene is shown to give in >80% yield two head-to-head dimers. The ring fusions are shown to occur at the α,β-positions of the dienone with trans-cis and trans-anti-trans stereochemistry. Both dimers may be epimerized to the same product with cis-anti-cis ring fusions. Evidence is presented to show that the singlet state is responsible for the cis-trans isomerization of 1 to the highly reactive intermediate trans, cis-2,4-cyclooctadienone. This intermediate can dimerize in a thermal 2 + 2 cycloaddition or can be generated at −78° and then trapped by 1,3-dienes in a Diels–Alder reaction. A mechanism for the dimerization reaction is discussed.
