TL;DR: In this article, a highly regio-and stereoselective five-membered ring annulation involving the acid-treatment of propargyl alcohol dianion adducts of ketones is described.
Abstract: A highly regio- and stereoselective five-membered ring annulation involving the acid-treatment of propargyl alcohol dianion adducts of ketones is described. The propargyl alcohol adduct of 2-octanone was converted into 2-methyl-3-pentyl-2-cyclopentenone by treatment with sulfuric acid–methanol (1:1) at 0 °C. As the major product, 1-methylbicyclo[5.3.0]dec-6-en-8-one was produced from 2-methylcycloheptanone. Remarkable regioselective cyclopentannulation was observed in 2-methylcyclohexanone and 2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone wherein 1-methyl- and trans-1,2-dimethyl-substituted bicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-en-7-one (BNO) are produced, respectively. With 3-butyn-2-ol, 2-methylcyclohexanone was converted into the cis-1,9-dimethyl-substituted BNO. 4-Isopropyl-2-methylcyclohexanone was transformed into an 83–85:17–15 mixture of c-3-isopropyl-γ-1,c-9-dimethyl-BNO and its 3-epimer. These results are explained in terms of the conrotatory ring-closure of thermodynamically most favorable hydroxypentadienyl cation intermediates. 3...

TL;DR: In this article, a ring enlargement of a cyclic ketone by one C-atom was carried out with simultaneous annulation of cyclopentanone ring with nitrobutanoic acid and subsequent rearrangement.
Abstract: 3-Hydroxy-4-nitro-cyclohexanones from Ketones and 4-Nitrobutanoyl Chloride. A Ring Enlarging Five-Ring Annulation The 6-nitro-1, 3-diketones 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11, prepared by a 1:1 acylation at the C-atom of non-hindered lithium enolates with 4-nitrobutanoyl chloride according to equation 3, are cyclized with sodium hydrogen carbonate in aqueous tetrahydrofuran to give the hydroxy-nitro-ketones 13–17. Such cyclic nitroaldols are not formed from the cyclopentanone, -heptanone, and -octanone, nor from the aryl derivatives 4, 6, 7 and 12, respectively. Except for the vicinally trisubstituted compound 14, the cyclization products are isolated in diastereomerically pure form. A crystal structure X-ray analysis reveals the trans-decalone and the cisβ-nitroalcohol configurations of the product 13 from cyclohexanone (see Fig. 1–3). Acetalization to 21–25 and catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro groups furnishes the amino alcohols 27–31 (Table 4) which are substrates for the Tiffeneau-Demjanow rearrangement (see Schemes 2, 3, 4 and 5), From the stereoelectronic control of this sextett rearrangement we deduce the configurations of the 1, 4-diketones 35, 36, 39, 40, 43, 44, 46, and 47 formed under kinetic or thermodynamic conditions. The six-ring annulation with nitrobutanoic acid and the subsequent rearrangement are shown in Scheme 6; the sequence of reactions described here allows to carry out a ring enlargement of a cyclic ketone by one C-atom, with simultaneous annulation of a cyclopentanone ring.

Abstract: Synthesis of (±)-camptothecin (1) and (±)-10-methoxycamptothecin (2) was achieved via enamine annelation as a key step. Condensation of 3,4-dihydro-1-methyl-β-carbolines (9) and (10) with unsaturated tetra-esters (6) and (7) followed by reduction gave the indolo[a]quinolizin-4-ones (12) and (13). Photo-oxygenation of (12) and (13) and subsequent base treatment produced the indolizino[1,2-b]quinolones (16) and (17), which were converted into the pyridones (20) and (24). The former (20) had been correlated to (±)-camptothecin, while the latter (24) was transformed into (±)-10-methoxycamptothecin by application of the established method.

TL;DR: In this article, the pKa values of 1-indolylacetic, 3-(9-ethyl) carbazolylsacetic and a number of 3,6-disubstituted 9-carbazoly lacetic acids in aqueous ethanol solutions were determined by potentiometry.
Abstract: The pKa values of 1-indolylacetic, 3-(9-ethyl)carbazolylacetic, and a number of 3,6-disubstituted 9-carbazolylacetic acids in aqueous ethanol solutions were determined by potentiometry.The inductive constants of the corresponding heterocyclic fragments were calculated from the values obtained. It is shown that annelation of the benzene ring with the pyrrole ring of indole gives rise to a decrease in the negative inductive effect of the heteroring. A linear relationship between the acidic properties of carbazoles and the corresponding 9-carbazolylacetic acids was established.
