Ballini, Roberto,Bosica, Giovanna,Fiorini, Dennis,Petrini, Marino
, p. 5233 - 5235 (2002)
Secondary nitrocompounds can be converted into the corresponding ketones under basic conditions using DBU in acetonitrile. Primary nitroalkanes are unaffected by these conditions. Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of Diketones, Ketoesters, and Tetraketones by Electrochemical Oxidative Decarboxylation of Malonic Acid Derivatives: Application to the Synthesis of cis-Jasmone

Disubstituted malonic acid derivatives are smoothly converted into diketones and ketoesters in good to excellent yield (68% to 91%) under electrochemical conditions. The scope can be extended to transform trisubstituted bis-malonic acids into tetraketones in 77% to 86% yield. The new method was applied to the total synthesis of cis-jasmone.
Thiazolium-catalyzed intermolecular Stetter reaction of linear and cyclic alkyl α-diketones
Bortolini, Olga,Fantin, Giancarlo,Fogagnolo, Marco,Giovannini, Pier Paolo,Massi, Alessandro,Pacifico, Salvatore
experimental part, p. 8437 - 8444 (2012/04/10)
An efficient method for the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed conjugate addition of acetyl anions to various α,β-unsaturated acceptors (Stetter reaction) has been optimized by using 2,3-butandione (biacetyl) as an alternative surrogate of acetaldehyde. The disclosed procedure proved to be compatible with microwave dielectric heating for reaction time reduction and with the use of different linear α-diketones as acyl anion donors (e.g. 3,4-hexanedione for propionyl anion additions). Moreover, the unprecedented umpolung reactivity of cyclic α-diketones in the atom economic nucleophilic acylation of chalcones is herein presented. Mechanistic aspects of the thiazolium-based catalysis involving linear and cyclic α-diketone substrates are also discussed. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
