A simple one-step synthesis of α-pyrones and 3-chloro-α-pyrones from β-functionalized α, β-enones and ketene acetals has been devised. The method has also been adapted to the preparation of some 4-methoxy-α-pyrones. Finally the mechanism of the reaction has been investigated.

The reactions of the benzyl ether (1b) of kojic acid (la) and its chloromethyl derivative (1c) were investigated as new routes to fused heterocyclic systems. The chloromethyl compound proved the more versatile intermediate yielding benzothiazoles with thiourea and pyrido[l,2-a]benzimidazoles (11) and pyrido[1,2-alindole (12b) with pyridine derivatives. A number of methylated products of the benzothiazole were prepared in order to establish the structures of the reaction products and a possible mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

A ruthenium-catalyzed [5+1] annulation of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrroles with α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides is reported. This reaction provides a one-step method for synthesizing pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives under ambient conditions. The system proceeds with a short reaction time and a high functional-group tolerance. Notably, this divergent protocol tolerates β-keto sulfoxonium ylides and can be applied to α-ester sulfoxonium ylides. A preliminary study was made of the mechanism of the reaction, and a reaction pathway is proposed.

We developed a direct catalytic condensation of benzylic alcohols and primary alcohols to synthesize unsymmetrical ethers in one step, catalyzed by scandium triflate and p-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Preliminary experiments give some insight into the mechanism of the reaction, though suggest that the process is quite complex. We suspect the rapid formation of a dimer from a secondary benzylic alcohol via a carbocation intermediate precedes unsymmetrical ether formation. Full experimental details and spectroscopic data are provided as supplementary information.

The cycloaddition of chloroketene acetals to α, β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones gives the corresponding 2,2-dialkoxy-3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1,2-pyrans. Treatment of these compounds with alkoxides in dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide yields α-pyrones directly. Some intermediates and by-products have been identified and the reaction conditions have been studied.
