Addition of nucleophiles to 2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-3-butenal (I) is complicated by its spontaneous polymerization. Compound I afforded neither hydrate nor dimethyl acetal but reacted with ethylene glycol to give the cyclic acetal II. Reaction with acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride led to the respective acetate III and diacetate IV. Satisfactory reaction with N-nucleophiles was observed only in the case of hydroxylamine and dinitrophenylhydrazine. Diethylamine reacted with I only at 150 °C to give the reduction product VI and the ethylaldimine VII. The compound I added nitromethane and sodium cyanide (giving X and XI, respectively); the adducts or products of their reduction with lithium aluminium hydride were hydroxylated at the double bond to give analogues of alcoholic sugars with difluoromethylene group in position 3. Hydroxylation of the butenal I or the acetate III afforded 3,3-difluoro-2,4-dihydroxy-4-methyloxolane (XIX) which was prepared also by cleavage of the acetal XVIII obtained from II by hydroxylation. Addition of bromine to the double bond in III and IV gave the dibromo derivatives XV and XVI; the attempted replacement of bromine in XV and XVI by acetate anion failed. Bromination of I in aqueous medium afforded 3-bromo-2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-4-butanolide (XIV).

Oxidation of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (2) with methyl sulfoxide and acetic anhydride yielded methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-α-D-erythro-hexopyranosid-2-ulose (3) in an 80% yield. Reduction of the oximino derivative of 3 with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran or with diborane afforded, after acetylation, methyl 2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (6) in a 44% yield. The latter was also debenzylidenated with aqueous acetic acid. In a parallel reaction, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-3-oximino-α-D-erythro-hexopyranoside yielded mainly methyl 3-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-arabino- (and a minor amount of the ribo-epimer)-hexopyranoside.

Lithium aluminium hydride reduces 2,3-trans-3-bromo-4'-methoxy-6-methyl-flavanone to 2,3-trans-3,4-trans-3-bromo-4'-methoxy-methylflvan-4-ol which is converted by acetic anhydride-potassium acetate into 3,4-trans-diacetoxy-4'-methoxy-6-methyl-2,3-cis-flavan. Similar reactions with the 3',4'-dimethoxy analogue give 3,4-trans-diacetoxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-6-methyl-2,3-cis-flavan. The corresponding cis-bromoflavanones are reduced to 2,3-cis-3,4-cis-3-bromoflavan-4-ols.

Reaction of trans-trans-3-bromoflavan-4-ols with ethanolic potassium acetate is shown to lead to 2,3-cis-3,4-trans-4-ethoxy- and -4-acetoxy-flavan-3-ols, as well as to 2,3-cis-flavan-3,4-trans-diols. Flavan-3,4-cis-diols are converted into 3,4-trans-diacetates by acetylation with a mixture of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and potassium acetate. cis-cis-Flavan-3,4-diols are thus converted into 3,4-trans-diacetoxy-2,3-cis-flavans, and 2,3-trans-flavan-3,4-cis-diols give trans-trans-diacetates. Epimerization of cis-cis-glycols to cis-trans-diacetates provides the most convenient route to 3,4-trans-3',4'-dimethoxy-6-methyl-2,3-cis-flavan, and to the corresponding 4'-methoxy analogue, and reduction with lithium aluminium hydride then gives the 2,3-cis-flavan-3,4-trans-diols. 3',4'-Dimethoxy-6-methyl-2,3-cis-flavan-3,4-trans-diol prepared in this way was converted into the corresponding carbonate, which is the first example of a 2,3-cis-3,4-trans-carbonate and completes the set of the four possible racemates in this series. The bromine atom is unreactive in cis-cis-3-bromo-3',4'- dimethoxy-6-methylflavan, but reductive dehalogenation with lithium aluminium hydride gave the ,β-flavan-4-ol (2,4-cis).

A convenient separation of (E)- and (Z)-3-methylpent-2-enedioic acids was devised, and it was shown that with acetyl chloride or thionyl chloride the (Z)-acid yields the cyclic anhydride while the (E)-acid forms 6-chloro-4-methylpyran-2-one. The chloropyranone by conventional chemistry gave 4-methyl-6-(2′-oxopropyl)pyran-2-one which condensed with 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one in the presence of pyrrolidine, yielding 4-methyl-6-(2′,6′,6′-trimethyl-4′-oxocyclohex-2′-enyl)pyran-2-one. Oxidation with selenium dioxide or t-butyl chromate then gave 6-(1′-hydroxy-2′,6′,6′-trimethyl-4′-oxotyclohex-2′-enyl)-4-methylpyran-2-one, which on reduction by lithium aluminium hydride and reoxidation afforded (±)-abscisic acid stereospecifically.

: The main component of the sex pheromone of many lepidopteran pests, (4E,10Z)-4,10-tetradecadienyl acetate (1) has been synthesized stereoselectively by using a simple route with 4-pentynol as a starting material. The stereoselective formation of the 4E double bond is based on the stereospecific reduction of internal alkyne with lithium aluminium hydride (LAH) while Wittig reaction was used to achieve 10Z double bond in the target pheromone component. The GC purity of the final acetate was achieved 97.87% while isomeric purities are more than 99%. The green chemistry principle shows a new concept towards for the multistep pheromone synthesis via green metrics calculations.

3-Amino-3-deoxy-D-ribose and D-ribose were prepared from a derivative of D-xylose. 1,2-O-Isopropylidene-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-xylofuranose (2) was oxidized by dimethyl sulfoxide – acetic anhydride to 1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-erythro-pentofuranos-3-ulose (3). The oxime (4) of this 3-keto sugar derivative was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to 3-amino-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-ribofuranose (5), isolated as the acetamido derivative (6). Hydrolysis yielded 3-amino-3-deoxy-D-ribose hydrochloride. 3 was reduced by sodium borohydride to 1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-ribofuranose (7), which yielded D-ribose on hydrolysis.

Abstract 1,1-Bis(trichlorosilyl)ethane, CH3CH(SiCl3)2 (1) is readily available through catalytic hydrosilylation of vinyltrichlorosilane and silicochloroform (90% yield), or through the base-induced reduction of acetyl chloride using again silicochloroform (60%). 1 can be converted into the title compound 2 in 80% yield by lithium aluminium hydride in di-n-butylether. Compound 2 is a highly volatile liquid (bp. 40-42 °C), not spontaneously inflamable in air. which is of interest as a precursor for chemical vapour deposition of hydrogen-containing silicon/carbon alloys (a-Si, C:H) and silicon carbide. Based on thermodynamical data, it is the least stable isomer of the composition C2Si2H10.

The preparation of 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzonitrile (V), an intermediate in the synthesis of the title compound I, from 4-fluoro-2-nitroaniline via 5-fluoro-2-iodonitrobenzene (VII) was elaborated. Syntheses of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexadeutero-2-propyl (XX) and 1,3,4-trideutero (XXVIII) analogues of compound I from hexadeuteroacetone, and pentadeuterobromobenzene, respectively, were carried out. Compound I was esterified with acetic anhydride, decanoic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride to give the esters II-IV. Acylation of compound XXX with acetyl chloride, 4-fluorophenoxyacetyl chloride and (4-fluorophenylthio)acetyl chloride and the following reduction of the amides with lithium aluminium hydride gave compounds XXXII, XXXIX and XL. Substitution reactions of 11-chloro-7-fluoro-2-isopropyl-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin with the corresponding N-monosubstituted piperazines resulted in compounds XXXIII-XXXV, XXXVII, XXXVIII, XLI and XLII. Alkylation of XXX with 2-(2-chloroethyl)-1,3-dioxolane afforded compound XXXVI. Pharmacological testing of the new compounds, derivatives and analogues of the neuroleptic agent isofloxythepin (I), for discoordinating and cataleptic activities, showed especially for compounds II, XXXIV and XXXVI very intensive and long-lasting effects. The decanoate III has properties of a depot neuroleptic agent.

Were developed new and practical synthesis of (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate and (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate. The routes involve, as the key step, the use of the mercury derivative of the terminal-alkyne w-functionalised as intermediate. The synthesis of (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate was based on a C6+C2=C8 and C8+C4=C12 coupling scheme, starting from 1,6-hexane-diol. The first coupling reaction took place between 1-tert-butoxy-6-bromo-hexane and lithium acetylide-ethylendiamine complex obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-oct-7-yne, which is transformed in di[tert-butoxy-oct-7-yne]mercury. The mercury derivative was directly lithiated and then alkylated with 1-bromobutane obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dodec-7-yne. After acetylation and reduction with lithium aluminium hydride of 7-dodecyne-1-yl acetate gave (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate with 96 % purity. The synthesis of (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate was based on a C8+C2=C10 and C10+C2=C12 coupling scheme, starting from 1,8-octane-diol. The first coupling reaction took place between 1-tert-butoxy-8-bromo-octane and lithium acetylide-ethylendiamine complex obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dec-9-yne, which is transformed in di[tert-butoxy-dec-9-yne]mercury. The mercury derivative was directly lithiated and then alkylated with 1-bromoethane obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dodec-9-yne. After reduction with lithium aluminium hydride of 1-tert-butoxy-(E)-9-dodecene and acetylation was obtained (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate with 97 % purity.
