Cydopentane reagents used in synthesis are usually derived from cyclopentanone (R.A. Ellison, 1973). Classically they are made by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol or ester condensations (see also p. 55). An important example is 2-methylcydopentane-l,3-dione. It is synthesized by intramolecular acylation of diethyl propionylsucdnate dianion followed by saponification and decarboxylation. This cyclization only worked with potassium t-butoxide in boiling xylene (R. Bucourt, 1965). Faster routes to this diketone start with succinic acid or its anhydride. A Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-acetoxy-2-butene in nitrobenzene or with pro-pionyl chloride in nitromethane leads to acylated adducts, which are deacylated in aqueous acids (V.J. Grenda, 1967 L.E. Schick, 1969). A new promising route to substituted cyclopent-2-enones makes use of intermediate 5-nitro-l,3-diones (D. Seebach, 1977). 

An Organic Syntheses preparation of 4-nitroindole may involve a related reaction. The condensation occurs in the presence of diethyl oxalate which may function by condensation at the methyl group. If this is the case, it must subsequently be lost by deacylation[17].

Finally, attachment of a rather complex side chain to the para position of the benzene ring on the sulfonamide leads to the very potent, long-acting oral antidiabetic agent, glyburide (215). Preparation of this compound starts with the chlorosul-fonation of the acetamide of 3-phenethylamine (209). The resulting sulfonyl chloride (210) is then converted to the sulfonamide (211) and deacylated (212). Reaction with the salicylic acid derivative, 213, in the presence of carbodiimide affords the amide, 214. Condensation of that with cyclohexylisocyanate affords glyburide (215). ... 

Deprotonation of the A -acyl substituent of benzothiazines gives a nucleophile that reacts by deacylation with a second molecule of starting material (Equation 46) < 1980TL3001 >. Such anions also react with ketones in an erythro-selective aldol condensation (Equation 47) <1983TL3883>. The selectivity is due to the formation of a Z-enolate and the reaction was also extended to A -acylphenothiazines. 

When H2O deacetylates the acyl-enzyme, phenylacetic acid is formed. When nucleophiles other than H2O deacylate the acyl-enzyme, a new condensation product, in this case phenylacetyl-O-R or phenylacetyl-NH-R is formed. By definition the hydrolysis of these condensation products can be catalyzed by the same enzyme that catalyzes their formation in equation 10.1. Thus, when the acyl-enzyme is formed from phenylacetyl-glycine or phenylacetyl-O-Me, this gives rise to an alternative process to produce Penicillin G, in addition to the thermodynamically controlled (= equilibrium controlled) condensation of phenylacetic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). This reaction that involves an activated side chain is a kinetically controlled (= rate controlled) process where the hydrolase acts as a transferase (Kasche, 1986 1989). 

The self-condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds provides a useful route to 4-hydroxy-pyran-2-ones and is catalyzed by acids or bases. Alcohol is continuously removed during the reaction. Amongst a number of examples, mention can be made of the detailed procedure for the synthesis of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one (dehydroacetic acid) (550SC(3)23l) and the formation of the cyclopentyl derivative (321) (64RTC39). Deacylation at C-3 can generally be achieved on heating with acid. 

Condensation of LXVIa (R = p-toluyl) with monomercurithymine (prepared from 1-acetylthymine) produces a mixture of acylated nucleoside anomers (LXVlb and LXVIc, R = thyminyl) which are separated and de-esterified to thymidine and a-thymidine. Similarly, reaction of N-acetylcytosinemercury (LV) with LXVIa (R = p-chlorobenzoyl) yields the a and ft anomers of acylated 2-deoxycytidine which, after separation and deacylation, are converted smoothly to 2-deoxycytidine (LXVlb, R = H, R = cytosinyl) and its a anomer (LXVIc). In like manner, 2-deoxy-5 -fluoro-uridine and -cytidine were synthesized, along with their... 

Condensation of, J,iV-acetals 77 with 1,3-dicatbonyl compounds in the presence of mercury acetate leads to thiophenes 80. Mercury complexes 78 derived from 77 react with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to generate intermediates 79, which undergo cyclization and subsequent hydrolysis-deacylation to afford 80 <1998JOC6086, 2000JOC3690, 2000JHC363>. Thiophenes 82 <20020L873, 2004JOC4867> are also prepared by reaction of 77 with 2-diazo-3-trimethylsilyloxy-3-butenoate 81 (Scheme 18). 

Deacylative condensation a-methylenation Reaction of the carbanion of a-alkylated 8-keto esters with paraformaldehyde in THF at -78° initially and finally at reflux leads to -methylenated esters (equation I). 

Lescot and co-workers (100) have described two routes to the 11//-pyrido[a]carbazoles. In the first (Scheme 36), a Fischer indole cyclization of the naphthylhydrazone 213, followed by dehydrogenation, gave the fully aromatic pyrido[a]carbazoles 215-217. Methylation or demethylation completed the preparation of the desired target compounds. A different route was used to synthesize the 5-methyl-2-aza derivatives 226 and 227 (Scheme 37) (100). Condensation of aldehyde 224 with 4-ethylpyridine gave the vinylindole 225. Deacylation and a variation of the Snieckus pyrido[c]carbazole synthesis (101) gave the desired compounds 226 and 227. 

C-Alkylation of the sodio derivative is accomplished by a technique similar to the alkylation of malonic ester. Primary halogen compounds, quaternary ammonium salts,and an alkene oxide have been used as alkylating agents. Alkylation by secondary halides has been less successful. Hydrolysis of the substituted esters to acetylated amino acids is described for leucine (64%) and phenylalanine (83%). Hydrolysis with deacylation has been used to prepare histidine (45%) and phenylalanine (67%). Glutamic acid (75%) is obtained from substituted acylaminomalonates prepared by the Michael condensation of methyl acrylate and the acylated amino esters. ...
