Efficient Construction

1,4-Dien-3-ones substituted with pendant arylethyl side chains attached at C-1 were readily prepared from substituted dihydrocinnamaldehydes. Treatment with TiCl4 at low temperature effected domino Nazarov electrocyclization – arene trapping within 5 min to give racemic benzohydrindenones in near-quantitative yield and with complete diastereoselectivity.Key words: domino process, electrophilic aromatic substitution, Lewis acid, Nazarov cyclization.

<div>N-Quaternized ketene N,O-acetals are typically an unstable, transient class of compounds most commonly observed as reactive intermediates. In this report, we describe a general approach to a variety of benchstable N-quaternized ketene N,O-acetals via treatment of pyridine or aniline bases with ethoxyacetylene and an appropriate Brønsted or Lewis acid (triflic acid, triflimide, or scandium(III) triflate). The resulting pyridinium and anilinium salts may be used as reagents or synthetic intermediates in multiple reaction types. For example, N-(1-ethoxyvinyl) pyridinium or anilinium salts can thermally release highly reactive O-ethyl ketenium ions that undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution with electron rich arenes. N-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-2-halopyridinium salts can also be utilized in peptide couplings as a derivative of Mukaiyama reagents, or react with alcohol and amines in nucleophilic aromatic substitutions.</div>

Herein, we wish to report the main-group metal Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of arenes with alkynes. This cyclization proceeds efficiently in the presence of a catalytic amount of AlCl3, affording phenanthrenes in moderate to excellent yields. The catalyst is cheap and nontoxic. The functional-group tolerance is high. A plausible electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction mechanism is proposed for this transformation.

AbstractSeveral approaches toward electrophilic C–H silylation of electron-rich arenes are discussed, comprising transition-metal-catalyzed processes as well as Lewis-acid- and Brønsted-acid-induced protocols. These methods differ in the catalytic generation of the silicon electrophile but share proton removal in form of dihydrogen. With slight modifications, these methods are often also applicable to the related electrophilic C–H borylation.

The effects of Lewis acid, solvent and orthothio substituent have been examined with regard to intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution ( annulation ) with bisthiocarbocations . A suspension of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate in dichloromethane, creating bis ( arylthio ) carbocations, was found to be the most effective for annulation of six- membered rings.
