Journal ArticleDOI
The favorskii rearrangement of dichlorinated methylketones
TL;DR: A cyclopropanone intermediate, which is formed stereospecifically by disrotative closure of a delocalized zwitterion, was used in the rearrangement of two dichlorinated methylketones in NaOMeMeOH as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Synthesis of 1,1‐Dichloromethylketones
W. Coppens,Niceas Schamp +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesis of 1, 1-dichloromethylketones was described, where methylketones are converted into cyclohexylketimines, which by N-chlorosuccinimide are chlorinated specifically to 1,1-dimethylketimine.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Convenient Synthesis of 2,2-Dichloro-1-phenyl-1-alkanones and the Corresponding Imines
TL;DR: In this article, a 3,3-dichloro-1-azaallylic anion with alkyl bromides or iodides was synthesized by deprotonation of N-(2,2-Dichloron-1,phenylalkylidene)isopropylamine by lithium diisoproplamide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses and reactions of 1-amino-2,2-dialkylcyclopropane-1-carbonitriles and -carboxamides - Potential precursors of ACC derivatives
W. Aelterman,Kourosch Abbaspour Tehrani,W. Coppens,Tom Huybrechts,Norbert De Kimpe,Dirk Tourwé,Jean-Paul Declercq +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative configuration of the stereoisomers was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis of one of the model compounds and a new route to the latter functionalized cyclopropanes was developed by reaction of 1-methoxycyclopropylamines with potassium cyanide.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Facile Method for the α‐Monochlorination of Aldimines and Aldehydes
TL;DR: Aldimines were selectively α-monochlorinated without any interference of α,α-dichlorinated derivatives, by a sequence of reactions involving α-trimethylsilylation of preformed 1-azaenolates, α-chlorination using N-chlorosuccinimide and desilylation in methanol.
