A series of cyclobutanones 1–5 were found to rearrange to β-tetralones 6–10, respectively, in the presence of phosphorous pentoxide in benzene at room temperature. The structures of the β-tetralones were inferred by conversion of a number of these known naphthalene derivatives. Possible mechanistic pathways are discussed.

The reactions of 2(2-isopropanol)cyclobutanones with phosphorous pentoxide lead to ring opened carboxylic acids. Reaction of 2-isopropylidenecyclobutanones with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) gives ring cleavage rearrangement products. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed in the light of the observed different reactions of the corresponding cyclopentanones.

AbstractThe lactic acid-catalyzed reactions of ninhydrin and secondary enaminones were conducted by solvent-free grinding at room temperature to yield polycyclic 4b,9b-dihydroxy-4b,5,6,7,8,9b-hexahydroindeno[1,2-

A simple, straightforward and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-3-(arylimino)indolin-2-one derivatives and (E)-2-((4-methoxyphenyl)imino)- acenaphthylen-1(2H)-one. The synthesis of these biologically-significant scaffolds was achieved from the reactions of various substituted anilines and isatins or acenaphthaquinone, respectively, using commercially available, environmentally benign and naturally occurring organic acids such as mandelic acid or itaconic acid as catalyst in aqueous medium at room temperature. Mild reaction conditions, energy efficiency, good to excellent yields, environmentally benign conditions, easy isolation of products, no need of column chromatographic separation and the reusability of reaction media are some of the significant features of the present protocol.

3-Aryl-4-R-carbamoyl-5-hydroxymethylisoxazolines (IV) were synthesized by allowing R-NH2 amines with R = H, CH3, C3H7, C6H5C2H5, and NH2 to act on 3-(X-phenyl)-4-oxo-3a,4,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[3,4-d]isoxazoles (III) with X = H, 4-CH3, 4-OCH3, 2-OCH3, 4-Cl, 2-Cl, 4-F, 2-F, 4-Br, 4-NO2, and 3-NO2. Exposed to radiation, the substances IV give Z-2-hydroxymethylamino-2-aryl-1-formylacrylamides (V) in good yields. The 4-Cl and 4-F substituted Z-derivatives V isomerize irreversibly to the E-derivatives VI if allowed to stand in solvent; the remaining derivatives V are stable. The quantum yields of the photoreaction are from 0.012 to 0.106 in dependence on the substituent X. In all cases where the compounds IV were used for the preparation of condensed heterocycles in conditions of acid-catalyzed reactions, lactones III were preferentially formed; the action of thionyl chloride on IV results in the formation of chloromethyl derivatives VIII, which do not undergo further cyclization.
