4-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)butanoic acid (4) was treated with excess of methyllithium to yield 5-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpentan-2-ol (6) which was cyclodehydrated using Dowex 50W-X8 resin, trifluoroacetic acid or polyphosphoric acid (PPA) to furnish 1,1,5,6-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (1). The acid 4 was cyclized with PPA to furnish 5,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (5) which was converted into 1 by reaction with dimethylzinc and titanium tetrachloride. 4-(4-Isopropylphenyl)butanoic acid (7) on esterification followed by Grignard reaction with methylmagnesium iodide furnished 5-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylpentan-2-ol (9), which was cyclodehydrated as above to yield 7-isopropyl-1,1-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (2).

A versatile free-radical trapping agent, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin-2-yloxyl, has been prepared from N-benzylphthalimide by reaction with 'methylmagnesium iodide' in refluxing toluene followed by hydrogenolysis and oxidation. The Grignard reaction gives 2-benzyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindoline along with a small proportion of an unexpected by-product, 2-benzyl-1-ethyl-1,3,3-trimethyliso-indoline.

Stepwise side-chain construction schemes leading to pregnane derivatives were tested in the 14β-androst-5-ene series. 6β-Methoxy-3α,5-cyclo-5α,14β-androstan-17-one (I) gave after methylenation and hydroboration the 17α-hydroxymethyl derivative III. Subsequent oxidation to the aldehyde VI, Grignard reaction with methylmagnesium iodide, and reoxidation led to the ketone VII and to the isomeric 17β-derivative VIII as a minor product. Final i-steroid cleavage of VII furnished the known 14β,17α-pregnenolone IX; the minor product VIII gave the 17β-isomer X. Alternatively, the ketone X was prepared from 6β-methoxy-3α,5-cyclo-5α,14β-androstan-17α-ol p-toluenesulfonate (XI) by cyanide substitution, diisobutylaluminum hydride reduction to the aldehyde XIV, and further as described for IX. The mass and NMR spectra of the four pregnenolone derivatives IX, X, XVIII, and XIX, isomeric in positions 14 and 17, were studied.

AbstractFluorinated and photo-imageable precursors are synthesized through a Barbier-Grignard reaction for 1550-nm window. The precursors are used for the sol-gel process of integrated optic components for silica-on-silicon technology. Material compositions and process parameters are optimized to achieve internal absorptions >0.1 dB/cm and propagation losses of about 0.5 dB/cm at 1550 nm. Compact 1×16 Beam splitters are designed and fabricated which exhibit >0.3 dB power uniformity, >0.1 dB PDL and 1.5 dB coupling loss. By hybrid integration of the passive splitters and in-house fiber amplifiers, amplifying splitters are demonstrated at various signal intensities.

AbstractA three-step batch-flow hybrid process has been developed for an expeditious synthesis of the enynol key intermediate of antifungal terbinafine. This procedure involves consecutive organometallic steps without the necessity of any in-line purification: after a metalation by n-butyllithium, a selective addition of the lithium salt was elaborated followed by a Grignard reaction resulting in a high yield of 6,6-dimethylhept-1-en-4-yn-3-ol. Moreover, as an alternative to tetrahydrofuran, cyclopentyl methyl ether was used as solvent implementing a safe, sustainable, yet selective synthetic process. Even on a laboratory-scale, the optimized batch-flow hybrid process had a theoretical throughput of 41 g/h. Furthermore, the newly developed process provides an efficient synthesis route to the key-intermediate, while making acrolein obsolete, minimizing side-products, and enabling safe and convenient scale-up.
