TL;DR: A solvent rate effect equation which uses four physical properties of the solvent for parameters has been applied with good success to solvolysis reactions, solvent E t values, Claisen Rearrangements, Diels-Alder reactions, endo-exo ratios in Dields-Ald reactions, azo-Cope rearrangements, and enol-ketone equilibria of the dimedone and pyridone variety as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-consistent field solvation model was applied to the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ether, all possible methoxy-substituted derivatives, two alkylated derivatives, and one carboxymethylated derivative to understand the effects of aqueous solvation on the reaction rates.
Abstract: We report the results of applying a new self-consistent-field solvation model to the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ether, all possible methoxy-substituted derivatives, two alkylated derivatives, and one carboxymethylated derivative in order to understand the effects of aqueous solvation on the reaction rates. We have employed the AM 1-SM2 version of the model to calculate the changes in free energies of solvation in passing from the lowest-energy conformations of the starting materials to both chair and boat transition states. The hydrophobic effect is always accelerative but always small and not very structure sensitive

Abstract: The behavior of thioaldehydes, thioketones, thiono esters (O-alkyl thioates) and dithio esters (S-alkyl dithioates) has been reviewed. Specific properties of thiocarbonyl compounds have been shown: Michael addition reaction of enethiolates, thiophilic addition of nucleophiles, easy thio-Claisen rearrangement, [4+2] cycloaddition with dienes and rich dipolarophile chemistry

TL;DR: In this article, the β-amino acid derivative was derived from (L)-aspartic acid, by the allylic chloride 12b followed by deprotection and lactonization leads to the nine-membered azalactone 18.
Abstract: N-Alkylation of the β-amino acid derivative 16, derived from (L)-aspartic acid, by the allylic chloride 12b followed by deprotection and lactonization leads to the nine-membered azalactone 18. Enolate Claisen rearrangement of this leads stereospecifically, via a boat-like transition state (cf. 6), to the pyrrolidine acid 19; subsequent one-carbon homologation, oxidation and deprotection affords (–)-(α)-kainic acid 1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described a precise examination of the rearrangement of an aryl propargyl ether in the presence of CsF led to exclusive formation of 2-methylarylfuran in excellent yield.
Abstract: Claisen rearrangement of an aryl propargyl ether in the presence of CsF led to exclusive formation of 2-methylarylfuran in excellent yield. The result of a precise examination of the rearrangement is described. Satisfactory transformation of the 2-methylarylfuran to a salicylaldehyde derivative was achieved by stepwise oxidation. This combination of reactions serves as a useful method for regioselective introduction of a C1 unit at the ortho position of a phenol group.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, 2-cyclohexenone rings that form part of a larger structural assembly are amenable to peracid oxidation with formation of an epoxy lactone.
Abstract: 2-Cyclohexenone rings that form part of a larger structural assembly are amenable to peracid oxidation with formation of an epoxy lactone. These intermediates are readily transformed under acidic, basic, or neutral conditions to ring-contracted aldehydo lactones, which are then subjected to condensation with a slight excess of Tebbe reagent. These conditions result in methylenation of carbonyl groups and set the stage for operation of a Claisen rearrangement. When the latter is catalyzed by Tribal, the sigmatropic process occurs at room temperature. With systems typified by 17 and 24, the isomerization is complete within 15 min. The presence of a proximate angular methyl group as in 9b, 29, and 37 exerts a retarding kinetic effect. In such examples, a period of 6 h is required to achieve completion. Swern oxidation completes the conversion to the 4-cyclooctenones, where the two carbons stemming from the Tebbe reagent are inserted between the original carbonyl and α-olefinic carbons. The overall process is...

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of enantiomerically homogeneous N-methyl pipecolic esters from 1-amino-3-buten-2-ols is reported.
Abstract: The synthesis of racemic and enantiomerically homogeneous pipecolic esters from 1-amino-3-buten-2-ols is reported. The synthesis of enantiomerically homogeneous N-methylpipecolic esters requires four chemical steps from N-t-BOC-protected amino esters. The key step of the sequence is a conformationally restricted Claisen rearrangement. The method affords complete control of the absolute and relative stereochemistry of all three stereogenic centers in pipecolic ester 22 which is obtained in 33% overall yield from N-t-BOC-L-alanine ethyl ester 16a

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of new glyco-organic substrates, along with their enhanced reactivity in water-promoted Claisen rearrangement, are described, and the chirality induced by the glucose moiety during the course of the reaction is dependent upon the α- or β-configuration of the anomeric centre.
Abstract: The preparation of new glyco-organic substrates, along with their enhanced reactivity in water-promoted Claisen rearrangement, are described. The chirality induced by the glucose moiety during the course of the reaction is dependent upon the α- or β-configuration of the anomeric centre. This allowed us to prepare enantiomerically pure (R) or (S) 1,3-diols 8, with D-glucose, as the unique source of chirality.
