Jone s oxidation

Jones s oxidation of the latter furnished the carboxylic acid 271 which on treatment with diphenylphosphorylazide in tert. butanol was converted, with retention of configuration, into the r-butylcarbamate 272. The free amine liberated from 272, on exposure to methanolic methoxide, underwent cyclisation to afford the key intermediate, the c/s-lactam 273, which was... 

This annelation reagent can be prepared most simply by condensation of the lithium enolate of ethyl acetate with acrolein to provide ethyl 3-hydroxy-4-penten-oate (2). Jones s oxidation provides the corresponding ketone (1) in 63-67% overall... 

Chromium VI) reagents are powerful oxidants. The reaction of a secondary alcohol with chromium trioxide and acid in aqueous acetone is called Jones s oxidation, and the product is a ketone. Chromium oxidation of an alcohol proceeds by formation of a chromate ester, followed by loss of the a-hydrogen to form the C=0 unit. 

Jones s oxidation of a primary alcohol leads to a carboxylic acid in most cases. A mixture of chromium trioxide and pyridine gives a reagent that can oxidize a primary alcohol to an aldehyde. This is called Collins s oxidation. The reaction of chromium trioxide and pyridine in aqueous HCl leads to pyridinium chlorochromate, called PCC. The reaction of chromium trioxide and pyridine in water leads to pyridinium dichromate (PDC). Both PCC and PDC can oxidize a secondary alcohol to a ketone or a primary alcohol to an aldehyde. 

Jones s oxidation is a powerful oxidizing medium for the conversion of alcohols to ketones. Unfortunately, this is such a powerful oxidizing medium that unwanted products are possible due to overoxidation. When a primary alcohol such as 1-pentanol (15) reacts with chromium trioxide and aqueous sulfuric acid, it follows the same mechanistic pathway as 9, with formation of chromate ester 16. However, experiments show that the yields of aldehyde from primary alcohols can be very low. 1-Propanol is oxidized to propanal, for example, in only 49% yield, and to obtain the product requires a short reaction time. Very often, a carboxylic acid is formed as a second product or even the major oxidation product rather than the aldehyde. It is known that aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxyhc acids, even by oxygen in the air. If a sample of butanal were spilled, for example, it is rapidly oxidized to butanoic acid by air. This oxidation is easily detected as the sharp butanal smell is replaced by the pungent butanoic acid smell. Butanoic acid is found in rancid butter and in dirty feet, for example. 

Formation of an aldehyde such as 17 in the presence of a powerful oxidizing agent such as chromium(VI) is usually followed by rapid oxidation of 17 to the corresponding carboxylic acid, pentanoic acid (18). In other words, Jones s oxidation of simple aldehydes usually gives the carboxylic acid as the major product. If the reaction mixture is heated, overoxidation to the carboxylic acid is even more rapid. The fact that the Jones reagent rate of oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde is fast can be used to an advantage, and when acetone is used as a solvent, the rate of oxidation of aldehyde to acid is relatively slow. Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) serves a similar role in many oxidations. 

Briefly explain why Jones s oxidation of 4-methyl-2-pentanol is faster than that of 3,3-dimethyl-2-pentanol.

These authors also described a three-step synthesis of 13Z-retinoic acid [56], The obtained hydroxydihydropyrane (66%) was oxidized either by Jones s reagent (CrC>3, water, H2SO4, 90%) or Corey s reagent (pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), 65%). Finally, the dihydropyranone was transformed into retinoic acid (as a mixture of 9E, 13Z, and 9Z,13Z), by /BuOK, according to a known procedure [57], Fig. (26). 

This synthetic project makes provision for the regioselective oxidation of allylic hydroxyl of 13h with Jones s reactant in acetone this reaction provided the keto derivative 13i quantitatively only when we operates with small substrate quantities (few milligrams). Then the hydroxyl at C-4 has been esterified with methanesulfonyl chloride the mesylation reaction has been led in methylene chloride in presence of triethylamine at 0°C and it has brought to the formation of product 131. Then it has been substituted azide for mesyl group by the treatment of mesyl derivative 131 with sodium azide in dimethylformamide at SOX, so obtaining product 13m. 

Even we have used weaker conditions than Jones s reactant, the oxidation of product 13h is always coupled, working with greater substrate quantities than few milligrams, with the total insaturation of ring obtaining compound 14. Probably this happens because of the elimination type 1,4 of a water molecule, favoured by the acidic environment, according with the mechanism represented in Scheme R, section A [55].

Several minor antibiotics related to lankamycin have been isolated from fermentation broths of Streptomyces violaceoniger two of them, 15-deoxy-5-oxo-and 15-0-(4-0-acetyl-a-L-arcanbsyl)-lankamycin, showed weak antibacterial activity. The former of these antibiotics could be obtained in high yield by oxidation of lankamycin with Jones s reagent. ...

Selective oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones is usually performed with CrOj/HjSO, I I in acetone (Jones reagent) or with CrOjPyj (Collin s reagent) in the presence of acid-sensitive groups (H.G. Bosche, 1975 C. Djerassi, 1956 W.S. Allen, 1954). As mentioned above, a,)S-unsaturated secondary alcohols are selectively oxidized by MnOj (D.G. Lee, 1969 D. Arndt, 1975) or by DDQ (D. Walker, 1967 H.H. Stechl, 1975).
