Acetonylation

The a-bromo-7-lactone 901 undergoes smooth coupling with the acetonyltin reagent 902 to afford the o-acetonyl-7-butyrolactone 903[763j. The o-chloro ether 904, which has no possibility of //-elimination after oxidative addition, reacts with vinylstannane to give the allyl ether 905, The o -bromo ether 906 is also used for the intramolecular alkyne insertion and transmetallation with allylstannane to give 907[764],... 

Since allylation with allylic carbonates proceeds under mild neutral conditions, neutral allylation has a wide application to alkylation of labile compounds which are sensitive to acids or bases. As a typical example, successful C-allylation of the rather sensitive molecule of ascorbic acid (225) to give 226 is possible only with allyl carbonate[l 37]. Similarly, Meldrum s acid is allylated smoothly[138]. Pd-catalyzed reaction of carbon nucleophiles with isopropyl 2-methylene-3,5-dioxahexylcarbomite (227)[I39] followed by hydrolysis is a good method for acetonylation of carbon nucleophiles. 

For example, the action of a-thiocyanatoacetone on ammonia in ether solution gives 4-methyl-2-aminothiazole but in very low yield (137). Methylamine in ether at 0°C gives in a first step S-acetonyl N-methylisothiourea (196) in 80% yield (Scheme 102) (137). The cycliza-tion of this intermediate occurs either after a prolonged rest at room temperature, either by fusion or by heating with dilute hydrochloric acid to afford the 4-methyl-2-methylaminothiazole (197). 

The tautomerism of some deaza analogues of riboflavin has been studied (77TL2551). The tautomerism of 3-ethoxalylmethyl- and 3-acetonyl-pyrido[2,3-f ]pyrazin-2-ones is fully discussed in (71TH21500 p. 68)... 

An unusual addition of acetoacetic acid to pyrido[2,3-Z>]pyrazin-2(l//)-one (400) to give (eventually) the 3-acetonyl derivative (401) was postulated (71TH21500) to occur via a cyclic transition state, and the similar addition of oxalacetic ester may occur via a related mechanism.

Hydrolytic fragmentation of the C5-N6 part took place upon heating 7-methyl-5-propyl-2-thioxo-l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidine (129) with hydrochloric acid. 3-Acetonyl-5-mercapto-l,2,4-triazole (130) and butanoic acid were obtained as a result of N4-C5, C5-N6, and N6-C7 bond cleavages (65JCS3369) (Scheme 50). 

This sequence is equally applicable to keto esters. Thus, condensation of guanidine with ethyl acetoacetate gives the pyrimidone, 134. Elaboration as above gives the pyrimidine, IJ5 acylation with the sulfonyl chloride (88) followed by hydrolysis yields sulfamerazine (107). Reaction of guanidine with beta dicarbonyl compounds gives the pyrimidine directly. Condensation of the base with acetonyl acetone affords the starting amine for sulfadimidine (108). ...

A general preparation of 2-acetonyl-2,4,6-triaryl-2//-thiopyrans 58 was discovered in the reaction of corresponding 2,4,6-triarylthiopyrylium perchlorates with ethanolic acetone catalyzed with various dialkylammonium salts (86GEP235455, 86JPR573). This preparative procedure was successfully extended to cyclohexane- and cyclopentane- 1,2-diones as the carbonyl components (89JPR853 90GEP280324). The action of bases on thiopyrylium salts may caused their dimerization to thiopyranyl derivatives under suitable conditions (89KGS479).
