TL;DR: The mixing ratios of methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein were measured at a site located in the Kinterbish Wildlife Management Area in western Alabama between June 15 and July 20, 1990.
Abstract: The mixing ratios of methyl vinyl ketone (CH2=CHCOCH3) and methacrolein (CH2=C(CH3)COH) were measured at a site located in the Kinterbish Wildlife Management Area in western Alabama. The measurements were made between June 15 and July 20, 1990. Considering all the data over the whole measurement period, the concentrations of these two carbonyls were approximately equal at this isolated rural site. The average mixing ratios for methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein were 0.98 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) and 0.66 ppbv, respectively, while the medians were 0.87 ppbv and 0.57 ppbv. The methyl vinyl ketone mixing ratio varied from 3.4 ppbv to the detection limit of the instrument, ≈0.01 ppbv, while the methacrolein mixing ratio varied from 2.6 ppbv to 0.027 ppbv. These carbonyls constituted a significant fraction of the volatile organic compounds observed at the site: their mixing ratios, measured 2 m above the top of the forest canopy, were less than that of the dominant compound isoprene but were considerably greater than the mixing ratios of anthropogenic compounds (e.g., benzene). The mixing ratios of methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein were found to be highly correlated and exhibited a systematic variation with respect to each other. On average, during the day, methyl vinyl ketone was larger than methacrolein, while methacrolein tended to be slightly larger during the night. The systematic behavior of these compounds with respect to each other and other compounds measured at the site were simulated using a one-dimensional photochemical model. These observations were consistent with the production and loss of isoprene, methyl vinyl ketone, and methacrolein by photochemical oxidation reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, various β-carbonyl radicals are generated from cyclopropanol derivatives by the use of manganese(III) 2-pyridinecarboxylate (Mn(pic)3).
Abstract: Various β-carbonyl radicals are generated oxidatively from cyclopropanol derivatives by the use of manganese(III) 2-pyridinecarboxylate (Mn(pic)3). These β-carbonyl radicals react with electron-rich olefins such as conjugated silyl enol ethers, a ketene thioacetal, a ketene dithioacetal, and a vinyl ether intermolecularly to give crossed-addition products in good yield. Furthermore, the combined use of Mn(pic)3 and tributylhydridotin makes it possible to carry out the 1 : 1 addition reaction of these β-carbonyl radicals with electron-deficient olefins such as acrylonitrile, acrylaldehyde, methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, and N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and the corresponding products are obtained in moderate to good yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclopentanoid was constructed by an initial 1,4-addition followed by a 1,2-silyl migration and a final cyclization step involving the derived boron enolate.
Abstract: Functionalized (E)-crotysilanes 1 undergo Lewis acid promoted conjugate addition reactions with α-substituted enals and methyl vinyl ketone 2 to produce tetrasubstituted cyclopentanes 3 with high levels of diastereoselection. The reaction is believed to proceed by an initial 1,4-addition which is followed by a 1,2-silyl migration and a final cyclization step involving the derived boron enolate resulting in the construction of the cyclopentanoid product

Abstract: β-Bromopropargyl ethers 2a-h, 11, and 12 or allyl propargyl ethers 8d-h are easily isomerized with potassium tert-butoxide (KO-t-Bu) into the corresponding allenyl derivatives 3a-h, 13, 14, and 9d-h. These compounds afford α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones 7a-h, 25, and 26 by application of the sequence halogenation/dehydrohalogenation/homolytic carbocyclization. Starting from methyl vinyl ketone 1i, similar transformations lead to botryodiplodin (27) or ethoxybotryodiplodin (28)

TL;DR: In this article, the free stannaimine A reacts with methyllithium, 2,6-diisopropylylaniline, and methyl vinyl ketone to give the corresponding 1,2-addition products (to the SnN bond) 2, 3, and 10.
Abstract: Reactions of a Free Stannaimine and of Base-Stabilized Stannylenes The free stannaimine A reacts with methyllithium, 2,6-diisopropylaniline, and methyl vinyl ketone to give the corresponding 1,2-addition products (to the SnN bond) 2, 3, and 10. With 2,6-diisopropylphenyl isocyanate and benzaldehyde [2 + 2] cycloadditions to the CO bonds lead to 4 and 5, while with benzonitrile oxide and acroleine [2 + 3] and [2 + 4] cyclo-additions produce 8 and 9. The pyridine adducts bis-[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]stannylene and -germylene react with aryl azides to give the corresponding derivatives of tri-amino-2-pyridylstannane 11 and -germane 12. Bis[2-pyridyl-bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]stannylene upon treatment with aryl azides form the 1-aza-8-stannabicyclo[3.2.0]octa-2,4,6-triene systems 13 and 14 via stannaimine intermediates. X-ray structure analyses are presented for 3, 11, and 13.

Abstract: Michael addition of methyl vinyl ketone 2 to 2-nitrocycloalkanones 1 catalyzed by the Cinchona alkaloid cinchonine 3 affords adducts in high chemical yields in up to 60% enantiomeric excess. The configuration of the products depends on the ring size. Absolute configuration of (−)-2-nitro-2-(3-oxobutyl)cyclooctanone and (+)-2-nitro-2-(3-oxobutyl)cyclododecanone derivatives were determined by X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Diels-Alder reaction with methyl vinyl ketone on the furan moiety, desulfonylation, intramolecular Diels Alder reaction of the resulting dienes, and retro Diels−alder reaction occurred sequentially to afford the tricyclic fused furans 17a−c; in good yields.
Abstract: Alkylation of 4H,6H-thieno[3,4-c]furan 5,5-dioxide (furan-annulated sulfolene)1 readily gave its 4-alkyl, 4,6-dialkyl, or 4,4-dialkyl derivatives, selectively. Attempts were made to use the appropriate derivatives as 3,4-dimethylenefuran synthons in intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions. Thus when they were heated after treatment with methyl vinyl ketone, a Diels–Alder reaction with methyl vinyl ketone on the furan moiety, desulfonylation, intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction of the resulting dienes, and retro Diels–Alder reaction occurred sequentially to afford the tricyclic fused furans 17a–c; in good yields.

TL;DR: In this article, the selective oxidation of butan-2-one to diacetyl has been studied in the temperature range 200-380°C over a vanadium phosphorus oxide catalyst.
Abstract: The selective oxidation of butan-2-one to diacetyl has been studied in the temperature range 200–380°C over a vanadium phosphorus oxide catalyst. In addition to diacetyl the principal reaction products detected were acetic acid, acetaldehyde, methyl vinyl ketone, propionaldehyde and carbon dioxide. A kinetic analysis indicated that diacetyl formation proceeds through a Mars and van Krevelen type mechanism and that there were two sources of acetaldehyde formation; the first predominating at high oxygen partial pressures involved an enol intermediate and adsorbed molecular oxygen; the second, which predominated at low oxygen partial pressures involved lattice oxygen and a diol intermediate. It is also proposed that acetoin, CH 3 COCHOHCH 3 , is a common intermediate in the formation of diacetyl and methyl vinyl ketone. High selectivities to diacetyl can be achieved by operation in anaerobic conditions.

Abstract: The reaction of (butadiene)zirconocene with hexacarbonyltungsten gives the metallacyclic [(π-allyl)zirconoxy]carbene complex 7 This reagent adds to a variety of ketones to yield chiral nine-membered metallacyclic ring systems (8) These systems are thus formed by means of 1,4-selective coupling reactions of 1,3-butadiene with W(CO)6 and an organic carbonyl compound at the zirconocene template The ketones subjected to react with 7 include benzophenone, methyl vinyl ketone, cyclopentanone, and 3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (12) The coupling products of 7 with cyclopentanone (8c) and 12 (8d-A) were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analyses Of the four possible diastereomeric nine-membered metallacyclic coupling products of 7 with 12 a single isomer [8d-A with (13'S,17'R,2,3,4-pS) configuration] was formed with ≥98% selectivity and isolated in 95% yield Treatment of the complexes 8 in tetrahydrofuran with water and pyridine N-oxide very effectively removed both transition metals with the formation of the corresponding β,γ-unsaturated e-hydroxy carboxylic acids The overall reaction sequence has thus converted the steroid ketone 12 very selectively to 5-[3-methoxy-17β-hydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17α-yl]-(E)-pent-3-enoic acid (10d)

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, various approaches to synthesize the tropoloisoquinoline alkaloids grandirubrine (1) and imerubrine(2) were investigated, and the results showed that proceeding from the known 8-bromo-5,6,7-trimethoxyisoquinoline (27) proved most efficient.
Abstract: In connection with efforts to develop total syntheses of the tropoloisoquinoline alkaloids grandirubrine (1) and imerubrine (2), preparations of tricyclic ketone (8) and the related ethoxycarbonyl system (47) are described. Of the various approaches to (8) which were investigated, that proceeding from the known 8-bromo-5,6,7-trimethoxyisoquinoline (27) proved most efficient. Thus, conversion of (27), over three steps, into the Reissert anion (37), followed by alkylation of the latter with methyl iodide or ethyl bromoacetate, afforded (38) and (46), respectively. Treatment of compound (38) with sodium ethoxide resulted in regeneration of the isoquinoline nucleus and provided the C1-substituted compound (40). Upon reaction with lithium diisopropylamide, isoquinoline (40) underwent Dieckmann-type cyclization to give compound (8). A similar reaction sequence involving diester (46) afforded enamine (47), the X-ray crystal structure of which is reported. Efforts to effect Robinson annulation of (8) or (47) with methyl vinyl ketone (or a synthetic equivalent), and thereby produce the tetracyclic compound (10), have been unsuccessful.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the regioselectivity involved in the gas-phase hydride reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by pentacoordinate silicon hyddride ions.
Abstract: The regioselectivity involved in the gas-phase hydride reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by pentacoordinate silicon hydride ions is investigated. The kinetics and product distributions of the reactions of acrolein, methyl vinyl ketone and cyclohex-2-enone with monoalkoxysiliconate ions of the general composition RSiH3(OR′)− were examined with the flowing afterglow–triple quadrupole technique. All three substrates react by hydride transfer and by formation of a siliconate adduct in which hydride reduction of the organic reactant has occurred. The structures of these adducts and the hydride transfer products were identified by various tandem mass spectrometric protocols, including analysis of competitive collision-induced dissociation (CID) reactions and comparisons of CID spectra obtained from reference ions with known structures. 1,4-Reduction forming an enolate ion product is found to be the dominant or exclusive process with all three substrates, i.e. acrolein (70 ± 5%), methyl vinyl ketone (72 ± 5%) and cyclohex-2-enone (100%). Comparisons are made between these gas-phase results and the regioselectivity reported for analogous condensed-phase reactions. The observed behavior is discussed in terms of the reaction thermochemistry.

Abstract: 2-Amino-5-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-3-furonitrile was synthesized from 3,5,5,5-tetrachloropentan-2-one, a product of the radical addition of CCl4 to methyl vinyl ketone, according to a scheme known for α-haloketones. The product was converted via the corresponding imino-ether into N2-substituted N1 [5-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-3-cyano-2-furyl]formamidines. Cyclization of these formamidines gave 2-methyl-3-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-5-R-4-imino-4,5-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidines, which readily regroup according to Dimroth into 2-methyl-3-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-4-R-aminofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
