Über die Herstellung mehrkerniger Ketone

01 Jan 1950-Helvetica Chimica Acta (WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH)-Vol. 33, Iss: 7, pp 2215-2228
TL;DR: In wasseriger bzw. wasserigalkoholischer Losung zur Bildung mehrkerniger cyclischer Ketone as discussed by the authors, fuhrt die analoge Umsetzung von Acetessigester, Acetondicarbonsaure and Formaldehyd with Derivaten cyclischer Mono-and Diketone.
Abstract: Ahnlich wie sich 2 Mol Acetessigester und Formaldehyd zum monocyclischen Hagemann'schen Ester in wasseriger Losung kondensieren lassen, fuhrt die analoge Umsetzung von Acetessigester, Acetessigsaure bzw. Acetondicarbonsaure und Formaldehyd mit Derivaten cyclischer Mono- und Diketone schon in wasseriger bzw. wasserig-alkoholischer Losung zur Bildung mehrkerniger cyclischer Ketone.

TL;DR: Bringing together the combination of modern computational power and algorithms from graph/network theory, chemical rules, and the elements of quantum mechanics, the machine can finally be "taught" how to plan syntheses of non-trivial organic molecules in a matter of seconds to minutes.
Abstract: Exactly half a century has passed since the launch of the first documented research project (1965 Dendral) on computer-assisted organic synthesis. Many more programs were created in the 1970s and 1980s but the enthusiasm of these pioneering days had largely dissipated by the 2000s, and the challenge of teaching the computer how to plan organic syntheses earned itself the reputation of a "mission impossible". This is quite curious given that, in the meantime, computers have "learned" many other skills that had been considered exclusive domains of human intellect and creativity-for example, machines can nowadays play chess better than human world champions and they can compose classical music pleasant to the human ear. Although there have been no similar feats in organic synthesis, this Review argues that to concede defeat would be premature. Indeed, bringing together the combination of modern computational power and algorithms from graph/network theory, chemical rules (with full stereo- and regiochemistry) coded in appropriate formats, and the elements of quantum mechanics, the machine can finally be "taught" how to plan syntheses of non-trivial organic molecules in a matter of seconds to minutes. The Review begins with an overview of some basic theoretical concepts essential for the big-data analysis of chemical syntheses. It progresses to the problem of optimizing pathways involving known reactions. It culminates with discussion of algorithms that allow for a completely de novo and fully automated design of syntheses leading to relatively complex targets, including those that have not been made before. Of course, there are still things to be improved, but computers are finally becoming relevant and helpful to the practice of organic-synthetic planning. Paraphrasing Churchill's famous words after the Allies' first major victory over the Axis forces in Africa, it is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning for the computer-assisted synthesis planning. The machine is here to stay.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Wieland−Miescher ketone was used as a matrix to provide the C and D rings of the targets and to provide functionality implements for joining this sector to an A ring precursor.
Abstract: An intramolecular Heck reaction (90 → 91) serves as the key step in the total synthesis of the titled compounds. The synthetic route is based on utilizing the Wieland−Miescher ketone (5) as a matrix to provide the C and D rings of the targets and to provide functionality implements for joining this sector to an A ring precursor (6). Catalytically induced enantiotopic control and early emplacement of the oxetane are other features of the route.

TL;DR: In this paper, 2 Mol Acetessigester und 1 Mol Formaldehydes lassen sich in Gegenwart von 1 Mol NaOH und geringer Mengen sekundarer Base in verdunnter, wasseriger Losung unter Bildung des Hagemann-Esters (IX) kondensieren.
Abstract: 2 Mol Acetessigester und 1 Mol Formaldehyd lassen sich in Gegenwart von 1 Mol NaOH und geringer Mengen sekundarer Base in verdunnter, wasseriger Losung unter Bildung des Hagemann-Esters (IX) kondensieren. Diese Tatsache dient als Ausgangspunkt einer Hypothese uber die Biosynthese der Steroide, wonach als wesentlichste Aufbauelemente Acetessigsaure und Formaldehyd anzusehen waren. Es ergeben sich damit enge Beziehungen im naturlichen Aufbau verschiedenartigster Naturstoffe.
