The design, development and application of an efficient procedure for the concise synthesis of the 1,3-syn- and anti-tetrahydropyrimidine cores of manzacidins are reported. The intramolecular allylic substitution reaction of a readily available joint urea-type substrate enables the facile preparation of both diastereomers in high yields. The practical application of this approach is demonstrated in the efficient and modular preparation of the authentic heterocyclic cores of manzacidins, structurally unique bromopyrrole alkaloids of marine origin. Additional features of this route include the stereoselective generation of the central amine core with an appending quaternary center by an asymmetric addition of a Grignard reagent to a chiral tert-butanesulfinyl ketimine following an optimized Ellman protocol and a cross-metathesis of a challenging homoallylic urea substrate, which proceeds in good yields in the presence of an organic phosphoric acid.

A catalytic asymmetric substitution of 3-substituted 2-indolylmethanols with 2-naphthols has been established under the catalysis of chiral phosphoric acid. By this approach, a series of structurally diversified triarylmethane derivatives were obtained in moderate to high yields with good enantioselectivities (up to 97% yield, 95:5 er). This approach not only enriches the chemistry of 2-indolylmethanol-inolved catalytic asymmetric substitutions, but also provides a useful method for the enantioselective synthesis of chiral triarylmethane derivatives.

Catalytic asymmetric [2 + 4] cycloadditions of 3-vinylindoles with ortho-quinone methides and their precursors were carried out in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid to afford a series of indole-containing chroman derivatives with structural diversity in overall high yields (up to 98%), good diastereoselectivities (up to 93:7 dr) and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). This approach not only enriches the chemistry of catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions involving 3-vinylindoles but is also useful for synthesizing chiral chroman derivatives.

Imidazolidin-2-one and 1,3-benzodiazepin-2-one scaffolds are structural motifs of many biologically active compounds. Herein, we report a highly regioselective acid-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization/intermolecular electrophilic substitution reaction sequence of (2,2-dialkoxyethyl)ureas. The reaction benefits from readily available starting materials, a simple workup procedure, moderate to high yields of target compounds, and provides a convenient entry to previously unknown 4-(het)arylimidazolidinones and 5-(het)arylbenzodiazepinones. The proposed mechanism of the reaction is also discussed.

Several chiral phosphoric acids were evaluated as organocatalysts for the enantioselective Biginelli reaction of aliphatic aldehydes. With a chiral phosphoric acid derived from 3,3′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diol, and after extensive optimization of the reaction conditions, the corresponding dihydropyrimidines were obtained in moderate to high yields with 73–87% ee by a three-component reaction of an aliphatic aldehyde, urea, and a β-keto ester.

Laboratory studies were carried out to determine whether methyl and ethyl acetates could be pyrolyzed to give yields and conversions to ketene comparable to those obtainable from acetic acid. Acetic acid was pyrolyzed to ketene and water in the presence of 0.33% triethyl phosphate or phosphoric acid catalyst at 680°–760 °C. and 140–160 mm. Hg absolute. Maximum yield obtained was 80.6% and maximum conversion 34.5%. Methyl acetate was cracked to ketene and methanol at 610°–685 °C. and 95–400 mm. absolute, using triethyl phosphate, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, dimethyl sulphate, butyl borate, and silica gelboric acid as catalysts. High yields could be obtained only with phosphates in 2–3% concentration. Maximum yield to ketene, including ketene recovered as acetic acid, was 76% (conversion 31–34%). Maximum yield to methanol was 81.3% (conversion 33–34%). Methyl acetate containing 18% methanol was also cracked but results were poorer. Ethyl acetate, in the presence of 0.33% triethyl phosphate, was pyrolyzed to ketene, ethylene, and water at 630°–685 °C. and 140–190 mm. absolute. Maximum yield of ketene, including ketene recovered as acetic acid, was 85.8%. Maximum conversion to ketene was 35.4% and to ketene plus acetic acid 85.7%. Yields to ethylene were nearly quantitative.

Plantation willows are commonly grown plants which are widely used for energetic purposes that does not correspond completely to its potential. To fully integrate this resource into biorefinery scheme, it is necessary to study optimal conditions of willow bark processing, aimed for separation of bark components, their comprehensive characterization and profitable practical application. Extraction of secondary metabolites is well known approach for bark processing. But the separation of the main cell wall components including lignin from the residual biomass is less studied. In this work plantation residual willow bark after extractives separation by two different solvents (acetone and ethanolwater) was used as a feedstock for Organosolv delignification. Effect of temperature and catalyst used on the yield and properties of lignin isolated from residual bark by ethanol-water treatment was studied. It was possible to obtain pure lignin with high yields (up to 41%) that has the potential to be used for bio-plastic producing. Insoluble residue after delignification was carbohydrate rich (up to 80%) feedstock allowing its practical use for bioethanol producing.
