Butenolide Synthesis from Functionalized Cyclopropenones

Synthesis of Functionalized Coumarins

The synthesis of functionalized 2-oxo-2H-coumarin derivatives has been studied by a one-pot reaction of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde, ethyl 2-bromoacetate and triphenylphosphine in the presence of catalytic amount of triethyl amine in EtOAc, water or under solvent free conditions. We have found the best results obtained under solvent free condition.

Selective synthesis of functionalized pyrroles from 3-aza-1,5-enynes.

2-Trifluoromethyl-5-(arylsulfonyl)methyl pyrroles and 2-trifluoromethyl-4-(arylsulfonyl)methyl pyrroles were selectively synthesized from trifluoromethyl-substituted 3-aza-1,5-enynes via a cyclization/sulfonyl group migration cascade catalyzed by AgOOCCF3 and CsOPiv, respectively. Alkylvinyl-substituted pyrroles were generated from seven-atom skeleton 3-aza-1,5-enynes via aryl sulfinic acid eli...

Butenolide and furandione from an endophytic Aspergillus terreus.

A new butenolide, aspernolide D (1), and furandione, asperterone (2), together with four known butenolides, butyrolactones I-IV and aspernolide B, were obtained from cultures of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus, isolated from the flowering plant Mammea siamensis. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by analysis of NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data.
