Selective synthesis of iminodioxaspirononanes and diazaspirononanes using formic acid-activated Mn(III) oxidation of N1,N3-disubstitued malonamides with 1,1-diarylethenes

The Mn(III)-based oxidation of N1,N3-disubstituted malonamides with alkenes by Kurosawa spirolactonization using malonic acid afforded iminodihydrofurans. A similar reaction with Mn(OAc)3, which was activated by HCO2

Synthesis of 2,2-diarylvinyl phenyl selenides by dehydration of 2-hydroxyalkyl phenyl selenides

A novel route to 2,2-diarylvinyl phenyl selenides is reported by dehydration of the corresponding 2,2-diaryl-2-hydroxyethyl phenyl selenides, prepared by oxyphenylselenenylations of the corresponding 1,1-diarylethylenes, upon treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid.

Facile synthesis of indolelactones using Mn(III)-based oxidative substitution-cyclization reaction

Based on the oxidation of indole with Mn(OAc)3 in the presence of 1,1-diarylethenes affording 3-vinyl-substituted indoles, a similar oxidation using indole-2-carboxylic acids was evaluated in order to effectively introduce the substituent group to the C-3 position of the indolecarboxylic acids. The coupling reaction followed by oxidative cyclization smoothly proceeded at room temperature in an AcOH-HCO2H mixed solvent to give the desired indolelactones in high yields. The reaction details, the structure determination of the products and a brief reaction mechanism are described.
