The strained seven-membered cyclic ketene imine 9, obtained by cycloaddition of thiocarbonyl ylide 6 with 2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)fumaronitrile (7), underwent base-catalyzed dimerization at room temperature on treatment with KCN in acetonitrile or with proton sponge in acetonitrile or CDCl(3). Two diastereoisomeric dimers, (6SR,3'RS)-13 and (6SR,3'SR)-13, were formed in 1:1 ratio in high yield. X-ray analysis revealed a deep-seated structural change which is unrelated to known dimerization pathways of ketene imines. In 13, one of the seven-membered rings is opened, and attached to the second unit by a thioimidate group. An ionic chain reaction with a formal fluoride ion as transfer agent offers a rationalization.

The synthesis of degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles is still a challenge to be met, which would make it possible to remedy both the shortcomings of traditional formulation of preformed polymers (, low nanoparticle concentrations) and those of the physical encapsulation of drugs (, burst release and poor drug loadings). Herein, through the combination of radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) and polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) under appropriate experimental conditions, we report the successful preparation of high-solid content, degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles, exhibiting multiple drug moieties covalently linked to a degradable vinyl copolymer backbone. Such a rROPISA process relied on the chain extension of a biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol)-based solvophilic block with a mixture of lauryl methacrylate (LMA), cyclic ketene acetal (CKA) and drug-bearing methacrylic esters by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization at 20 wt% solid content.

A strategy for the synthesis of 1--substituted thioglycals was developed from cyclic carbohydrate-derived ketene dithioacetals in a four-step sequence. The corresponding thioglycals, in two carbohydrate series, were first obtained by removal of the exocyclic glycosyl sulfoxide, followed by treatment with an organolithium reagent. Various electrophilic groups were introduced onto the thioglycal double bond after deprotonation and formation of a glycosyl lithium intermediate.

The oxidation of CHCO by (Δ) O has been investigated by means of high level quantum chemical and chemical kinetic calculations. The reaction was found to proceed through a four-membered cyclic transition state resulting from the addition of O to the CC bond of ketene. The reaction energetics has been calculated employing post-CCSD(T) corrections.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the thermal decomposition of 2-cyclopentenone during biomass pyrolysis, utilizing both experimental techniques and theoretical models.
- Gas-phase pyrolysis experiments were conducted at high temperatures, revealing various products like carbon monoxide and different hydrocarbons through FTIR spectroscopy.
- Five distinct decomposition pathways were identified, including multiple H atom migrations and C-C bond ruptures, leading to the formation of compounds such as acrolein, propane derivatives, and intermediates like cyclopropenone.
Nitrones are widely used as 1,3-dipoles in organic synthesis, but control of their reactions is not always easy. This review outlines our efforts to make the reactions of nitrones more predictable and easier to use. These efforts can be categorized into (1) 1,3-nucleophilic addition reaction of ketene silyl acetals to nitrones, (2) geometry-controlled cycloaddition of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrones, (3) stereo-controlled cycloaddition using double asymmetric induction, and (4) generation of nitrones by N-selective modification of oximes.
