An efficient methodology for the synthesis of novel substituted pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole via Friedel-Crafts cyclialkylations is reported. The methodology was realized by three-step protocol involved the addition of carbazole to 3-methylcrotononitrile. The resulted nitrile was hydrolyzed to desired ester, followed by addition of Grignard reagents to afford tertiary alcohols and/or reacted directly with different Grignard reagent to form the desired ketones. The later ketones were converted to both secondary and tertiary alcohols by reduction with LAH and addition of Grignard reagents respectively. These carbinols were cyclialkylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions catalyzed by AlCl3/CH3NO2, PTSA and PPA to give tri-and tetrasubstituted pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole.

The thermolysis and photolysis of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane in the presence of ethylmagnesium bromide has been investigated. Under photochemical conditions, ethyldimesitylgermane, 1,2-diethyl-1,1,2-trimesityldigermane and ethyl-1,1,2,2-tetramesityldigermane were isolated and, under thermal conditions, 1,2,2-triethyl-1,1-dimesityl digermane and 2,2-diethyl-1,1,1-trimesityldigermane were isolated. The photolysis of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane in the presence of methyllithium has also been investigated. In both cases, the organometallic reagent adds to tetramesityl digermene and dimesitylgermylene formed by photochemical or thermal cleavage of the cyclotrigermane. In the case of the addition of the Grignard reagent, the resulting germyl Grignard reagent undergoes a facile ligand exchange reaction.Key words: digermene, germylene, Grignard reagents, alkyllithium reagents, germylmagnesium compounds, germyllithium compounds.

The stereoselective synthesis of C3-substituted morpholine derivatives has been achieved through a two-step process involving diastereoselective addition of a Grignard reagent to a sulfinyl imine, followed by cyclization.

The pure crystalline diastereomers (1R,2S,5R)-menthyl (R)- and (S)-2-methoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (1b) have been prepared and, by reaction with Grignard reagents (the Andersen procedure), converted into optically active alkyl and aryl 2-methoxynaphthyl sulfoxides in 67-77% yields. Use of an excess of Grignard reagent results in facile O-alkyl cleavage of the methoxy group to the corresponding naphthol or a competing loss of the alkyl- or aryl- sulfinyl group to form 2-methoxynaphthalene. Pure diastereomers of menthyl 2,7- dimethoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (2b) and menthyl 4-methoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (3b) have also been prepared and their reactions with Grignard reagents have been studied.
