A metal-free method for the facile synthesis of indanonesviathe intramolecular hydroacylation of 2-vinylbenzaldehyde

A facile method for the synthesis of indanones was developed under metal- and additive-free conditions, whereinl-proline served as an efficient and environmentally benign catalyst. Compared with previously synthesized indanones, synthesis by the transition-metal-catalyzed intramolecular hydroacylation of 2-vinylbenzaldehyde provided a more green synthetic pathway to indanone scaffolds with good to excellent yields. More importantly, it could be used to synthsize the anti-AD drug donepezil.

Enantioselective halogenative semi-pinacol rearrangement: Extension of substrate scope and mechanistic investigations

The present Full Paper article discloses a survey of our recent results obtained in the context of the enantioselective halogenation-initiated semi-pinacol rearrangement. Commencing with the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction first and moving to the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase-transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction to the ring-expansion of five-membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present manuscript will culminate with a detailed mechanistic investigation of the canonical fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction. Our mechanistic discussion will be based on in situ reaction progress monitoring, complemented with substituent effect, kinetic isotopic effect and non-linear behaviour studies.
