A search for the enol structures of several amides YY'CHCONHPh with Y,Y' = electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) was conducted. When Y = CN, Y' = CO(2)Me the solid structure is that of the enol (8b) MeO(2)CC(CN)=C(OH)NHPh, whereas in solution the NMR spectrum indicate the presence of both the amide MeO(2)CCH(CN)CONHPh (8a) and 8b. When Y = NO(2), Y' = CO(2)Et the main compound in CDCl(3) is the amide, but <10% of enol(s), presumably EtO(2)CC(NO(2))=C(OH)NHPh (9b), are also present. When Y = COEt, Y' = CO(2)Me or Y = COMe, Y' = CO(2)Et (10 and 11) enolization in solution and of 11 also in the solid state occurs at the carbonyl rather than at the ester site. With Y = Y' = CN a rapid exchange between the amide (NC)(2)CHCONHPh (12a) and a tautomer, presumably the enol, take place in several solvents on the NMR time scale. With YY' = barbituric acid moiety the species in DMSO-d(6) is an enol of an amide although which CONH group enolizes is unknown. B3LYP/6-31G calculations showed that the enol (NC)(2)C=C(OH)NH(2) (13b) is more stable by DeltaG of 0.4 kcal/mol than (NC)(2)CHCONH(2) (13a) due to a combination of stabilization of 13b and destabilization of 13a and both are much more stable than the hydroxyimine and ketene imine tautomers. The effect of Y,Y' and the solvent on the relative stabilization of enols of amides is discussed.

-Butyl hypochlorite was employed as a versatile reagent for chlorooxidation of indoles, chlorination of 2-oxindoles, and decarboxylative chlorination of the indole-2-carboxylic acids. Four types of products including 2-chloro-3-oxindoles, 2,2-dichloro-3-oxindoles, 3,3-dichloro-2-oxindoles, and 2,3-dichloroindoles could be selectively obtained in moderate to excellent yields by switching the substrates. Various synthetically useful functional groups, such as halogen atoms, cyano, nitro, and methoxycarbonyl groups, remain intact during the reactions.

In this study, we analyzed purine derivatives using multimatrix variation matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), 1,5-diaminonaphtalene (DAN), 5-formylsalicylic acid (FSA), and 5-nitrosalicylic acid (NSA) as matrices. Further, we focused on the abstraction/attachment of hydrogen from/to analytes and detected [M - H], [M + 2H] and/or [M + 3H] in MALDI MS spectra of compounds containing nitrogen and/or carbonyl oxygen. Although [M - H] generation of purine compounds in MALDI MS with conventional matrices was challenging, NSA-MALDI MS effectively yielded the [M - H]species of purine derivatives compared with CHCA, FSA, and DAN, and the [M - H]/[M + H] ratios reflected their structures, such as the substituting groups and positions.

A variety of α-arylated sulfoxonium ylides could be facilely synthesized in modest to high yields through α-arylation of sulfoxonium ylides with aryl fluorosulfates C-O bond functionalization under palladium catalysis. Reactions using readily available and bench-stable aryl fluorosulfates as effective and appealing arylating agents showed both good substrate scope and broad functionality tolerance. Important functional groups such as nitro, cyano, formyl, acetyl, methoxycarbonyl, trifluoromethoxy, fluoro, and chloro embedded in substrates remained intact during the course of the reaction, and could be subjected to downstream modification.

Herein we report two processes facilitated by diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) for the synthesis of novel bridged polycyclic molecule analogues to natural products. The use of 4-bromoisochroman-3-one initiated an autoxidation reaction, followed by a Diels-Alder cycloaddition in the presence of electron-deficient dienophiles. Mechanistic studies revealed isochromane-3,4-dione as a key intermediate, which undergoes in situ dienolization/dearomatization followed by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition.
