Faced with globalization, high competition, and the demands of a market in constant dynamism, companies strive to adopt measures for increasing their productivity, among which Lean Manufacturing stands out. Although this set strategies allows optimizing production by reducing waste, literature review showed that, several organizations, implementation does not reflect positive impacts on productivity. It is frequently related superficial nature approach: tools methods are applied, but...

The reaction of vinyl allenes with imines under Lewis acid catalysis has been explored. Vinyl in which the allenic portion molecule is tri- or tetrasubstituted gave octahydroquinoline derivatives as single isomers together a minor compound formed by an ene imine allene. Compounds allene 1,3-disubstituted do not react conditions assayed.

The hetero Diels−Alder reaction of vinyl allenes and aldehydes in the presence a Lewis acid has been studied both experimentally theoretically. Differently substituted were used to obtain information on structural requirements reaction. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory indicate that proceeds through highly asynchronous polar transition state.

A synthetic strategy for the preparation of trisusbstituted cyclic ethers is presented, in which stereochemistry at carbon atoms adjacent to oxygen ether was controlled by means a hetero Diels−Alder reaction between monoactivated diene and chiral aldehyde. The adducts were transformed into linear ethers, then used cis trans different sizes. cis-oxepane, cis-oxonane, cis-oxocane trans-oxocane prepared as examples scope strategy.

The Lewis acid catalyzed hetero-Diels−Alder reaction between acyclic vinyl allenes and aldehydes as heterodienophiles was studied. This allows for the preparation of pyrane derivatives in good yields, high facial regioselectivity moderate endo/exo ratio. When benzaldehyde used heterodienophile, rearranged products were obtained depending on conditions. DFT calculations to study rearrangement, concluding that it is a highly selective ionic process, driven by stability products.
