Directed ring-opening of 1,5-dioxaspiro[3.2]hexanes: selective formation of 2,2-disubstituted oxetanes
Taboada, R; Ordonio, GG; Ndakala, AJ; Howell, AR; Rablen, PR (2003)1,5-Dioxaspiro[3.2]hexanes undergo ring-opening reactions with many heteroatom nucleophiles to provide alpha-substituted-beta'-hydroxy ketones. However, certain Lewis acidic nucleophiles provide 2,2-disubstituted oxetanes. ... -
Synthesis, structural assignments and antiinfective activities of 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone and 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone.
Masila, VM; Ndakala, AJ; Byamukama, R; Midiwo, JO; Kamau, RW; Wang, M; Kumarihamy, M; Zhao, J; Heydreich, M (University of Nairobi, 2020)In an attempt to synthesize carvotacetone analogues, new 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone (10) and previously reported 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone (11) were synthesized from piperitone (7). In this work, we ...
