Abstract
Tri-carbonylated oxiranes were efficiently synthesized by condensing a vicinal tricarbonyl compound with α-bromoketones in the presence of a base. This protocol was applicable to α–bromo-β-keto esters to create tetra-carbonylated oxiranes, from which trifunctionalized bromoalkene was competitively formed. The ratio of these compounds was influenced by the solvent and reaction temperature.
Keywords: Polycarboylated oxirane, polyfunctionalized bromoalkene, vicinal tricarbonyl compound, α-bromo ketone, oxetane intermediate, trifunctionalized bromoalkene.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
