N,N-dihalophosphoramides-XV: The addition of diethyl N,N-dichlorophosphoroamidate (DCPA) to conjugated 1,3-dienes

The addition of DCPA to several conjugated 1,3-dienes has been studied. The reaction was found to proceed in dichloromethane and was spontaneously or photolytically initiated depending on the structure of the dienes. N-chloro adducts, formed upon addition, could be reduced “in situ” with sodium sulphite solution to give the corresponding diethyl N-(chloroalkenyl)posphoroamidates. Addition of DCPA to terminal double bond 1,3-dienes (butadiene, isoprene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene) leads regiospecifically to (E)-1,4-adducts. Similarly, 1,4-addition is also observed for 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Reaction of DCPA with nonterminal double bond 1,3-dienes (trans-piperylene, 4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene and 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene) usually affords a mixture of adducts. Spectral data and chemical transformations pertinent to the proof of structure of DCPA addition products are presented. A possible mechanism for the addition is discussed.

Conformational thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of methyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes

The s-trans/s-cis conformational equilibria of 10 methyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes [(E)- and (Z)-1,3-pentadiene; 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene; (E)-2-methyl-1,3-pentadiene; 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene; (E,E)-, (E,Z)-, and (Z,Z)-2,4-hexadiene; 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene; and (E,E)-2,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene] were explored by trapping high-temperature conformational equilibria by cryogenic deposition. The vapor state enthalpy differences of these s-trans/s-cis conformers, DeltaH(t equilibrium c), were determined by varying the equilibrating temperature and integrating the resulting matrix isolated IR spectra. The results obtained are in good agreement with ab initio calculations at the G3 level. From these thermodynamic parameters, methyl group nonbonded interactions in conjugated 1,3-butadienes were delineated. Rates of decay of s-cis conformers to their s-trans rotamers were obtained in the solid-state by warming up trapped high-temperature equilibrated samples formed from neat depositions. These data were analyzed in terms of dispersive kinetics with matrix site effects in the solid-state modeled by a Gaussian distribution of activation energies. The activation barriers thus obtained were compared with G3 calculations of the enthalpies of activation.     

Dicobalt octacarbonyl-catalyzed tandem cycloaddition reaction between diyne and diene under CO

Treatment of 1,7-diphenyl-1,6-heptadiyne and a symmetric butadiene such as 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Co(2)(CO)(8) (5 mol%) in CH(2)Cl(2) at 110 degrees C under 30 atm CO for 18 h afforded a 5.5.6 tricyclic enone in high yields. For unsymmetrical dienes such as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1, 3-pentadiene, and 3-methyl-1,3-pentadiene, two separable regioisomers were obtained. The catalytic reactions described are experimentally quite simple and provide a very useful synthetic procedure for the syntheses of [5.5.6] tricyclic enones.

Gas Phase Reaction of Tetrachlorogermane with Conjugated Dienes in the Presence of Hexachlorodisilane Initiator

Studies of the reaction of GeCl₄ with acyclic conjugated dienes (1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1,3- butadiene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene) and cyclopentadiene in the presence of Si₂Cl₆ initiator were carried out. With acyclic dienes, corresponding 1,1-dichloro-1-germacyclo-3-pentenes and 1,1-dichloro-1-silacyclo-3- pentenes are preferrably formed. With cyclopentadiene the main reaction products are cyclopentenyltrichlorogermanes and cyclopentenyltrichlorosilanes formed respectively by hydrogermylation and hydrosilylation of the starting diene. The explanation of the established rule is offered.

An efficient method for the synthesis of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene from cyclopentadiene and 1,3-butadiene was developed.The Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with 1,3-butadiene proceeded smoothly in supercritical carbon dioxide in the absence of any polymerization inhibitor to produce the corresponding 5-vinyl-2-norbornene in satisfactory yield with high selectivity.     

Diels-Alder Reactions of. (+)-Apoverbenone

The thermal and catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of (+)-apoverbenone (1) with isoprene, 2, 3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, (E)-piperylene, (E)-1-methoxy-1,3-butadiene and cyclopentadiene are described; structural analysis by ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy is reported, and the syn-anti and endo-exo diastereoselectivity of the reactions is discussed.     

The influence of reaction conditions on the Diels-Alder cycloadditions of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides; investigation of thermal, catalytic and microwave conditions

The Diels-Alder cycloadditions of cyclopentadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to a range of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides under thermal, catalytic and microwave conditions is described. The influence of reaction conditions on the outcome of the cycloadditions, in particular the stereoselectivity and reaction efficiency, is discussed. While the cycloadditions have been attempted at the sulfide, sulfoxide and sulfone levels of oxidation, use of the sulfoxide derivatives is clearly beneficial for stereoselective construction of Diels-Alder cycloadducts.     

Tris(acetonitrile)tricarbonylchromium(0) catalyzed 1,4-addition of hydrogen to 1,3-dienes

The Cr(CO)₃(CH₃CN)₃ complex is found to catalyze the 1,4-addition of hydrogen to 1,3-dienes such as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, trans-1,3-pentadiene, and trans, trans-2,4-hexadiene at low temperature (40°) and low H₂ pressure (20 psi). For trans, trans-2,4-hexadiene the only product obtained when D₂ is used is 2,5-dideuterio-cis-3-hexene. The catalytic 1,4-hydrogenation can be carried out in neat dienes, and turnover numbers for the catalyst of greater than 3000 have been observed.     

Influence of monomer structure on chemo- and stereoselectivity of 1,3-diene polymerization

MAO/CpTiCl₃ is an active catalyst for the polymerization of various types of 1,3-dienes. Butadiene, (E) - and (Z) −1,3-pentadiene, (E) −2-methyl-1,3-pentadiene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene yield, at room temperature, polymers with a cis-1,4 or a mixed cis/1,2 structure. 4-Methyl-1,3-pentadiene and (E,E) −2,4-hexadiene give, respectively, a 1,2 syndiotactic and a trans-1,4/1,2 polymer. MAO/CpTiCl₂·2THF and MAO/(CpTiCl₂)_n are less active than the CpTiCl₃ catalyst, but give the same type of polymers. A change of stereospecificity with temperature was observed in the polymerization of (Z)-1,3-pentadiene: a cis-1,4 isotactic polymer was obtained at +20°C, and a crystalline 1,2 syndiotactic polymer at −20°C. This effect was attributed to a different mode of coordination of the monomer, which is cis-η⁴ at +20°C and may be trans-η² at −20°C. Results obtained with catalysts from CpTi(OBu)₃ and Ti(OBu)₄ are reported for comparison. An interpretation is given of the formation of cis-1,4 isotactic poly(2-methylpentadiene) and of 1,2 syndiotactic poly(4-methylpentadiene), as well as of syndiotactic polystyrene.     

Dehydration of ethylenic alcohols

Summary A systematic study was made of the catalytic dehydration of 4-methyl-1-penten-3-ol (Ia), 3,4-dimethyl-1--penten-3-ol (Ib), 3-isopropyl-4-methyl-1-penten-3-ol (Ic), 2-methyl-4-penten-2-ol (II), 2-methyl-3-penten-2-ol (III), 4-methyl-3-penten-2-ol (IV), and 2-methyl-4-hexen-3-ol (V). In the course of this study methods were developed for the preparation of the following substituted gem-dimethylbutadienes: 4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene (VIII), 3,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene (IX), 2-methyl-2,4-hexadiene (XI), and 3-isopropyl-4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene (XIV).     

Synthesis and structure of phosphorylated nitrocyclohexenes

Diene condensations of 2-nitro-and 2-bromo-2-nitroethenylphosphonates with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, as well as with 2,4-dihydro-and 3-methyl-2,4-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxides that generate 1,3-butadiene and isoprene under the reaction conditions were effected. (6-Nitrocyclohex-3-en-1-yl)phosphonates and their dehydrogenation and/or dehydrohalogenation products, namely nitrocyclohexadienyl-and nitrophenylphosphonates were prepared. The structure of the obtained compounds was proved by IR and ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and independent synthesis.

On the mechanism of formation of isotactic and syndiotactic polydiolefins

The mode of formation of isotactic and syndiotactic polymers from 1,3-dienes is examined in the light of the most recent results. An interpretation is given for the formation of trans-1,4 isotactic polymers from CH₂=CH-CH=CHR (R = Me, Et, Pr, etc.) type monomers with heterogeneous VCl₃-based catalysts. Evidence is reported showing that stereoregular 1,2 or cis-1,4 polymers derive from a growing polymer chain anti-η³-bonded to the transition metal and a cis-η⁴ coordinated monomer. The influence on stereoselectivity of the substituents at the central carbon atoms of the monomer is discussed. The peculiar behavior of (Z)-1,3-pentadiene and 4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene, which give 1,2 polymers with catalysts that give 1,4 polymers from other monomers, is attributable to the fact that they can coordinate trans-η², in addition to cis-η⁴.     

Nickel-catalyzed addition of C-H bonds of terminal alkynes to 1,3-dienes and styrenes

The C-H bond of a terminal alkyne adds to a carbon-carbon double bond of 1,3-dienes, styrenes, and norbornene at room temperature in the presence of a nickel catalyst in regio- and stereoselective manners. Reaction of triisopropylsilylacetylene with 1-substituted 1,3-butadiene derivatives afforded hydroalkynylation products via introduction of a hydrogen atom and a triisopropylsilylethynyl group to 4- and 3-positions of the dienes, respectively. Likewise, 1-triisopropylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1-cyclohexen-1-yl-1,3-butadiene, and 1,3-cyclohexadiene underwent the hydroalkynylation reaction, giving the corresponding 1,4-enyne derivatives in good yields at room temperature. Reaction of p-substituted styrene with triisopropylsilylacetylene also proceeded in the presence of the nickel catalyst, giving the branched hydroalkynylation products in good yields. Norbornene gave a exo-addition product in good yield under the same reaction conditions.     

Enantioselective total synthesis of cyathin A3

The total synthesis of (-)-cyathin A3 is described. The key step involves an unusual enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone with 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-pentadiene, using Mikami's catalyst [(R)-BINOL + Cl2Ti(OiPr)2 + 4 A mol sieves] modified by addition of Mg and SiO2. Because cyathin A3 is easily transformed into allocyathin B3, cyathin B3, cyathin C3, and neoallocyathin A4, this route also constitutes formal syntheses of these natural products.     

3-nitrocoumarins as dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction in water. An approach to the synthesis of nitrotetrahydrobenzo[c]chromenones and dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furans

The [4 + 2] cycloadditions of 3-nitrocoumarin (1a), 6-chloro-3-nitrocoumarin (1b), and 6-, 7-, and 8-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins (1c, 5, and 6) with (E)-piperylene (7), isoprene (8), 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (9), 2-methoxy-1,3-butadiene (10), 2,3-dimethoxy-1,3-butadiene (11), and cyclopentadiene (12) were investigated in aqueous medium, in organic solvent and under solventless conditions. The reactions performed in water occurred in heterogeneous phase but were faster than those executed in toluene or dichloroethane (DCE). 1a-c, 5, and 6 behaved as 2pi components in the Diels-Alder cycloadditions with 7-10 and 12, and exo adducts were preferentially or exclusively produced. Surprisingly 1a, behaved as a 4pi component in the cycloaddition in water with 11 and 4-substituted 3-nitrochromanones 20 and 21 were isolated. The cycloadditions of hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins 1c, 5, and 6 with 1,3-diene 9 did not work in water or in organic solvent, but did work under solventless conditions. Nitrotetrahydrobenzo[c]chromenones 13-16, 24, and 25, originating from the normal electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions, were converted into dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furans 27-31 in water, via one-pot Nef-cyclodehydration reactions.
