A synthesis of spiroacetals was developed using a reductive cyclization strategy that leads stereoselectively to spiroacetals with a single anomeric stabilization. The method begins with the synthesis of spiro ortho esters. The ortho ester is converted to a cyano acetal. Reductive lithiation of the cyano acetal generates an axial dialkoxylithium reagent, and intramolecular cyclization produces a new ring with retention of configuration. The strategy is convergent and produces complex spiro acetals in only a few steps. The method will be useful in the synthesis of natural products and will facilitate the synthesis of previously inaccessible contra-thermodynamic acetals.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,4-(Hetero) Dicarbonyl Compounds through α-Carbonyl Umpolung.

Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Leipzig, 04103 Leipzig, Germany.
The enantioselective synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds continues to pose a significant challenge in organic synthesis, and a catalytic process which generates two adjacent stereogenic centers with full stereochemical control is lacking until now. The 1,4-relationship of the functional groups requires an Umpolung strategy as one of the α-carbonyl positions has to be inverted into an electrophilic center to react with a normal enolate. We report herein the highly enantio- and diastereoselective addition of silyl ketene acetals toward electrophilic 1-azaallyl cations to furnish chiral 4-hydrazonoesters, which are masked 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds.

A triflate salt-catalyzed nonhydrolytic method for the deacylation of -acylsulfonamides and subsequent one-pot condensation of the newly formed sulfonamides with ,-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal to provide -sulfonylamidines is presented. A range of aliphatic and aromatic -acylsulfonamides bearing various -acyl groups such as acetyl, propionyl, butyrl, isobutyryl, octanoyl, benzoyl, 2-phenylacetyl, and sterically hindered pivaloyl are readily transformed into the corresponding -sulfonylamidines in good to excellent yields. A variety of functional groups including halogeno, keto, nitro, cyano, hydroxyl, ether, and carboxylic ester are tolerated intact.

Selective response is the key index to evaluate the performance of polymeric carbon nitride (PCN)-based heavy metal ion fluorescence sensors. Herein, to explore the role of cyano groups on selectivity, four kinds of PCN, including PCN-Cl, PCN-Ac, PCN-B and PCN-K were prepared by the molten salt method of sodium chloride and sodium acetate, the reduction method of sodium borohydride and the etching method of potassium hydroxide, respectively. These PCNs exhibited different surface cyano characteristics, but all of them had significant blue emission under ultraviolet excitation.

2-(1,3-Benzoxazol-2(3H)-ylidene)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile (1) and methyl-2-(1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-ylidene)(cyano)acetate (2) are observed as single isomers by NMR spectroscopy. A theoretical study was carried out to investigate if this is due to the exclusive presence of the most stable diastereoisomer or if the ene moiety undergoes fast rotation, thereby allowing for the observation of an average conformer. Indeed, the pronounced stabilization of the E stereoisomer, attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, makes it the single obtained product.
