The mechanism of the Knorr reaction has been studied in detail by several labs using low temperature NMR methods.9-12 Using low temperature flow NMR, a reaction of the 1,1-diacetyl cyclopropane with hydrazine was studied by Salivanov and coworkers for the mechanism of the cyclopropane ring opening with nucleophiles.12 They observed an immediate formation of the intermediate A at -70 C within 10 seconds followed sequentially by formation of B and C. Because the signal intensity for intermediate...

Specifically, they found that thiol ester 13 underwent thermal isomerization to the corresponding 5-thiooxazole 14 in 94 yield.

Of the well-known methods to prepare isoquinolines, including the Pictet-Spengler and Bischler-Napieralski cyclisation, the Pomeranz-Fritsch reaction is the only direct generally accepted method for the construction of the fully unsaturated isoquinoline ring system. Toward the end of the 19th century both Pomeranz and Fritsch independently reported the preparation of isoquinolines by the reaction of aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal 2 R Me with aromatic aldehydes 1 followed by cyclisation in...

Both 1- and 2-naphthylhydrazine have been shown to react in good yield with 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid in the presence of sodium bisulfite to give, after acidic workup, dibenzocarbazole 30 and 31, respectively.7 When either 1- or 2-naphthylhydrazine is heated with sodium bisulfite, dibenzocarbazoles 32 and 31, respectively, are isolated after acidic work-up.7 It is suggested that loss of the hydrazine residue to form a bisulfite addition compound of the parent naphthol occurs initially further...

The van Leusen reaction forms 5-substituted oxazoles through the reaction of p-tolylsulfonylmethyl isocyanide 1, TosMIC 1 with aldehydes in protic solvents at refluxing temperatures. Thus 5-phenyloxazole 2 is prepared in 91 yield by reacting equimolar quantities of TosMIC and benzaldehyde with potassium carbonate in refluxing methanol for 2 hrs.2 In 1972, van Leusen, Hoogenboom and Siderius introduced the utility of TosMIC for the synthesis of azoles pyrroles, oxazoles, imidazoles, thiazoles,...

An ingenious application of Corey's ylide 1 was discovered by the Shea group in 1997.51,52 Using trialkylboranes as initiator catalyst and 1 as the monomer, a living polymerization led to linear polymethylene polymers as opposed to the common polyethylene polymers . Controlling the initial ratio of ylide 1 and triethylborane leveraged control over molecular weight. Oxidative cleavage of the C-B bond under basic oxidation conditions produced perfectly linear polymethylene 92. Furthermore,...

The proposed mechanism for the Conrad-Limpach reaction is shown below. Condensation of an aniline with a 3-keto-ester i.e., ethyl acetoacetate 5 with loss of water provides enamino-ester 6. Enolization furnishes 10 which undergoes thermal cyclization, analogous to the Gould-Jacobs reaction, via 6n electrocyclization to yield intermediate 11. Compound 11 suffers loss of alcohol followed by tautomerization to give 4-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline 7. An alternative to the proposed formation of 10 is...

Although acid catalysis is thought to be necessary for the Biginelli reaction, there has been a report disputing this requirement. Ranu and coworkers surveyed over 20 aldehydes and showed that excellent yields of DHPMs could be achieved at 100-105 C in 1 h in the absence of catalyst and solvent with no by-products formed.31 In contrast Peng and Deng reported no significant formation of DHPM 15 when a mixture of benzaldehyde 5 , ethyl acetoacetate 6 , and urea 3a was heated at 100 C for 30...
