- Catalytic asymmetric tamura cycloadditions
-
In the presence of a novel, tert-butyl-substituted squaramide-based catalyst, enolizable anhydrides react with alkylidene oxindoles to generate spirooxindole products of significant synthetic interest with excellent enantio- and diastereocontrol. The methodology is of wide scope and encompasses both homophthalic and glutaconic anhydride derivatives, which lead to structurally diverse products. Glutaconic acid-derived anhydrides undergo a clean post-cyclization decarboxylation process which is not a feature of reactions involving homophthalic acid-derived anhydrides. The unusual influence of reaction temperature on diastereocontrol has been probed, with reactions occurring at 30 °C and -30 °C delivering products epimeric at one stereocenter only, in near optical purity. Squared away: The first strategy for bringing about enantioselective Tamura reactions is reported. In the presence of a squaramide-based catalyst, enolizable anhydrides react with alkylidene oxindoles to generate spirooxindole products with excellent enantio- and diastereocontrol. The methodology is of wide scope and leads to structurally diverse products.

- Process for producing substituted pyrroles
-
A process for the preparation of alkyl 1,4-dimethyl-3-ethoxycarbonylpyrrole-2-acetate compounds by reacting a diloweralkyl acetone dicarboxylate, a chloromethyl lower alkyl ketone and an aqueous loweralkylamine in the presence of an added organic brominated or chlorinated hydrocarbon co-solvent.

- Process for producing substituted pyrroles
-
An acid having a dissociation constant of at least 1.3×10-5 at 25° C. is used to enhance the yield of alkyl, 1,4-dialkyl-3-alkoxycarbonylpyrrole-2-acetate in the reaction of a chloromethyl alkyl ketone with a dialkyl acetone dicarboxylate and an alkylamine in a reaction medium comprising an organic solvent. The preferred acid is formic acid.
