Asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxides by aromatic amines were achieved by using some chiral metal–organic frameworks. The corresponding β-amino alcohols were obtained with good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

Regio- and stereoselective ring-opening reaction of 2-bromomethyl-1,3-thiaselenole with thiols proceeded as nucleophilic attack at the selenium atom of seleniranium intermediate affording unsaturated selanyl sulfides, (Z)-CH2=CHSCH=CHSeSR, in up to 93% yield. Dithiols were involved in this reaction giving symmetrical polyunsaturated compounds with two S–Se bonds in 70–75% yields. Efficient synthesis of 2-(organylsulfanyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiaselenines in 69–96% yields was developed by the acid-catalyzed cyclization of the unsaturated selanyl sulfides. Mild reaction conditions (room temperature) and short reaction times are important features of this methodology.

This article reports on the reaction of 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles with aromatic amines as N-nucleophiles. 2-Hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles represent versatile building blocks in syntheses of ω-(N-aryl)alkyl substituted heterocycles due to the presence of 1,3-bielectrophilic acrylonitrile fragment functionalized with unsaturated heterocyclic ring and nucleophilic azaheterocyclic moiety. The carbonyl group masked within the N-arylpyrrolidinylidene fragment which undergoes a ring opening through the reaction with nucleophiles. So, a method for the synthesis of 2-hetaryl-6-hydroxy-3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles and 2-hetaryl-2-(N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles has been developed by us. The proposed scheme is based on the available reagents using. As a result of Michael addition, the aromatic amines to 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles followed by ring transformations has formed two types of products, depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction of substituted furanylylideneacetonitriles with aromatic amines proceeds in good to high yields affording the corresponding 3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles and 2-(N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles derivatives. The stereochemistry of the ring-opening reaction follows the rules of a classical SN2 mechanism. The resulting linear products can be cyclized to 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles in high yields by treatment with the catalytic amount of acid or the equimolar amount of aromatic amines. Under these conditions 2-hetaryl-6-hydroxy-3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles arising from reaction gives the ring closure. Since both ring-opening and cyclisation occur with fixed stereochemistry the reaction appears a valuable modification to the preparation of acetonitriles derivatives.

Anhydrous titanium(III) chloride was found to be a simple and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for ring opening of epoxides at ambient temperature. The reaction proceeded smoothly with anilines as well as azide ion as nucleophiles to give the corresponding β-amino alcohols and β-azido alcohols in moderate to good yields.

Tunable aryl imidazolium ionic liquids acting as Brønsted acid ionic liquids were found to be efficient catalysts for per-O-acetylation and reductive ring opening of benzylidene acetals. This method requires a truly catalytic amount of the least expensive available ionic liquids that are water-stable and reusable and also stable at room temperature. The reactions were obtained in one hour with good to excellent yields. These reactions can form C−O and C−H bonds with a high atom economy. Furthermore, the ionic liquid is an anomeric selective catalyst in per-O-acetylation and reductive ring opening of benzylidene acetals of sugar moieties.
