A variety of ketonitrones were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity by using carbonyl-directed addition of N-alkylhydroxylamines to unactivated alkynes under mild conditions. The product diverisity could be controlled by the use of different bases, and EtN( n-Pr) could promote the formation of ketonitrones while using EtONa as base led to indanone-derived nitrones. Control experiments indicated that the carbonyl group of the substrate acted as an H-bond acceptor except for an electron-withdrawing group, and conjugated enone skeleton accounted for the high selectivity.

Site-Selective Direct γ-Difunctionalization of Diazoenals: Application to the Synthesis of Enal-Functionalized Allenes and Furans.

Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science Education & Research, 462066, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
A new approach for the synthetically important γ-functionalized enals has been developed. The strategy involves rhodium-catalyzed direct C-C & C-S bond forming site-selective γ-difunctionalization of diazoenals with aryl propargyl sulfides via sulfur ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, resulting in the highly functionalized γ-allenyl(sulfanyl)enals in excellent yield at ambient temperature. This highly versatile approach constitutes a viable alternative to the remote carbonyl-directed γ-functionalization of unmodified enals which suffer from competitive side reactions.

Given the current interest in materials containing 1,4-azaborine units, the development of new routes to these structures is important. Carbonyl directed electrophilic borylation using BBr is a facile method for the -borylation of ,-diaryl-amide derivatives. Subsequent addition of EtSiH results in carbonyl reduction and then formation of 1,4-azaborines that can be protected using a Grignard reagent.

A novel route has been described for C-H borylation and hydroxylation of benzenethiols directed by adamantane-1-carbonyl using BBr. The protocol generates corresponding arylboronic esters and phenols in moderate to excellent yields under metal-free conditions. In addition, the borylated product can be transformed and the directing group can be removed in good yields, which will facilitate the synthesis of structurally diverse benzenethiols.
