- Stereoselective Ketone Rearrangements with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents
-
The first stereoselective version of an iodine(III)-mediated rearrangement of arylketones in the presence of orthoesters is described. The reaction products, α-arylated esters, are very useful intermediates in the synthesis of bioactive compounds such as ibuprofen. With chiral lactic acid-based iodine(III) reagents product selectivities of up to 73 % ee have been achieved.

- Synthesis and evaluation of the anticonvulsant activity of a series of 2-amino-1-phenyl-1-propranols derived from the metabolites of the antidepressant bupropion
-
A series of 2-amino-1-phenyl-1-propanols that are structurally related to known metabolites of bupropion, 1 (Wellbutrin) were synthesized and evaluated as potential anticonvulsants. The (R*,R*)-2-tert-butylamino-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) propanol 20 had an ED50 of 16.5 ± 2.8 mg/kg ip in mice in the maximal electroshock screen and was chosen for further evaluation.

- Ozone-mediated Nitration of Aromatic Ketones and Related Compounds with Nitrogen Dioxide
-
Alkyl aryl ketones react smoothly with nitrogen dioxide at low temperatures in the presence of ozone to give ortho- and meta-nitro derivatives as the principal products, the former usually being predominant (ortho:meta = 1.1-3.8:1.0).No attack was observed on the alkyl side chains.

- Facile Hydrodehalogenation with H2 and Pd/C Catalyst under Multiphase Conditions. 2. Selectivity and Kinetics
-
Hydrodehalogenation of polyhalogenated aromatics with Pd/C catalyst carried out in the presence of a quaternary onium salt follows zero-order kinetics in the substrate and first-order kinetics in the Pd/C catalyst; the related rate constants were determined for o-, m- and p-bromotoluenes, o-, m- and p-chloroalkylbenzenes (methyl, ethyl, and propyl derivatives), and other aryl halides.Reaction rates, depending on the aromatic to be reduced, may be strongly enhanced by the presence of quaternary onium salts: the isomeric chloroethylbenzenes were reduced 50 times faster when operating in the presence of Aliquat 336 (1).Also the hindered 2-chloro-m-xylene easily yielded m-xylene.The cocatalyst onium salts operate by being adsorbed on the Pd/C surface, as shown when kinetic constants are reported by varying the onium salt amount: classical Langmuir adsorption isotherms are observed.The presence of the onium salt may also influence selectivity in the reduction of isomeric aryl halides: when 1 is present, p-dichlorobenzene reacts in diethyl ether at 20 deg C, 5-fold slower than the ortho isomer; whereas the reduction rates of the two compounds are almost the same in its absence.

- Process for the production of nitro derivatives of aromatic compounds
-
Nitroderivates of aromatic compounds which are difficult to nitrate, can readily be obtained by nitration providing that the aromatic compound is treated with nitric acid or another nitrating agent in the presence of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons monosubstituted or polysubstituted by halogen, the nitro group or an alkyl sulphonyl group, and the nitro derivative formed subsequently isolated.
