A general strategy for the synthesis of arylthio cyclopropyl carbaldehydes and ketones via acid catalysed arylthiol addition/ring contraction reaction sequence has been exploited. The procedure led to a wide panel of cyclopropyl carbonyl compounds in high yields and broad substrate scope.

Imidazolidin-2-one and 1,3-benzodiazepin-2-one scaffolds are structural motifs of many biologically active compounds. Herein, we report a highly regioselective acid-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization/intermolecular electrophilic substitution reaction sequence of (2,2-dialkoxyethyl)ureas. The reaction benefits from readily available starting materials, a simple workup procedure, moderate to high yields of target compounds, and provides a convenient entry to previously unknown 4-(het)arylimidazolidinones and 5-(het)arylbenzodiazepinones. The proposed mechanism of the reaction is also discussed.

AbstractA general strategy for the synthesis of indolyl cyclobutanones via a tandem Brønsted acid catalyzed 2-hydroxycyclobutanone activation–indole nucleophilic addition has been exploited. The procedure leads to a wide range of 2- and 3-functionalized indole derivatives in good to high yields with broad substrate scope.

AzaBenzannulated PDI (AzaBPDI) dyes were synthesized in high yields via a new reaction sequence involving an imine condensation followed by visible light-induced photocyclization. The large scope and efficiency of this alternative to the Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated, and allows the easy preparation of dimeric AzaBPDI as potential non-fullerene acceptors for organic solar cells.

Abstract The direct anodic oxidation of non-phenolic lignin model compounds was investigated to understand their basic behaviors. The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies of monomeric model, such as 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol, are interpreted as the oxidation for Cα-carbonylation did not proceed in the reaction without a catalyst, but a base promotes this reaction. Indeed, the bulk electrolyses of the monomeric lignin model compounds with 2,6-lutidine afforded the corresponding Cα-carbonyl compounds in high yields (60–80%). It is suggested that deprotonation at Cα-H in the ECEC mechanism (E=electron transfer and C=chemical step) is important for Cα-carbonylation. In the uncatalyzed bulk electrolysis of a β-O-4 model dimeric compound, 4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, the corresponding Cα-carbonyl compound was not detected but as a result of Cα-Cβcleavage 4-O-ethylvanillin was found in 40% yield. In the electrolysis reaction in the presence of 2,6-lutidine (as a sterically hindered light base), the reaction stopped for a short time unexpectedly. These results indicate the different electrochemical behavior of simple monomeric model compounds and dimeric β-O-4 models. The conclusion is that direct electrooxidation is unsuitable for Cα-carbonylation of lignin.
