Organolead-mediated arylation of allyl β-ketoesters: a selective synthesis of isoflavanones and isoflavones

TL;DR: Arylation of 3-allyloxy carbonylchroman-4-ones with aryllead (IV) triacetates followed by selective catalytic deally-oxycarbonylation affords isoflavanones or isoflavones in high overall yields as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Arylation of A- ring substituted and unsubstituted 3-allyloxycarbonylchroman-4-ones with aryllead (IV) triacetates followed by selective catalytic deallyloxycarbonylation affords isoflavanones or isoflavones in high overall yields. The highest yield in the arylation step was observed in the reaction of 5,7-dimethoxychroman-4-one with the more hindered 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyllead triacetate.

TL;DR: Stereochemical alchemy!
Abstract: Stereochemical alchemy! Racemic allyl β-ketoesters allow the regiocontrolled formation of enolates, where the same catalyst is intimately involved in both the stereoablative (C-C bond-breaking) and stereoselective (C-C bond-forming) steps. This mechanistic and practical insight led to the formation of multiple quaternary carbon stereocenters in a single cascade reaction (see scheme).

TL;DR: The reaction sequence employs a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation reaction and exploits the unusual stability of β-hydroxy cycloheptanones to achieve a general and robust method for performing two-carbon ring contractions.
Abstract: Contraction action! A simple protocol for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of highly functionalized γ-quaternary acylcyclopentenes (see schematic) in up to 91 % overall yield and 92 % ee has been developed. The reaction sequence employs a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation reaction and exploits the unusual stability of β-hydroxy cycloheptanones to achieve a general and robust method for performing two-carbon ring contractions.

Abstract: We may not be able to make you love reading, but the chemistry of flavonoid compounds will lead you to love reading starting from now. Book is the window to open the new world. The world that you want is in the better stage and level. World will always guide you to even the prestige stage of the life. You know, this is some of how reading will give you the kindness. In this case, more books you read more knowledge you know, but it can mean also the bore is full.
