The strained bridgehead olefins bicyclo [3.3.1]non-1-ene ( 1 ), bicyclo [4.2.1] non--1-(8) ( 2 ), and bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1-ene ( 3 ) react rapidly with 1,1-dichloro-2, 2--difluoroethene ( 5 ) to yield mixtures of regioisomeric dichlorodifluorocyclobutanes 8/9, 10/11 and 12/13 , respectively. On the contrary, the reaction of 5 with the model compound (E)-l-methylcyclooctene ( 4 ) is completely regioselective. The structure of the cycloadducts has been elucidated mainly by ¹⁹F-NMR. and ¹³C-NMR. spectroscopy.     

[2 + 2]-Cycloadditions to Strained Bridgehead Olefins. II. Diphenylketene

The strained bridgehead olefins bicyclo [3.3.1]non-1-ene ( 1 ), bicyclo [4.2.1 ]non-1(8)-ene ( 2 ), and bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1-ene (3), and the comparable monocyclic (E)-1-methylcyclooctene ( 4 ) react with diphenylketene ( 6 ) to give a single cycloadduct 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 , respectively, in which the diphenyl-substituted C-atom is bound to the bridgehead. The structure of the cyclobutanone 8 has been determined by X-ray analysis of a twin crystal obtained by crystallization with spontaneous enrichment of enantiomers.     

Synthesis of Bridged Bicyclic Molecules using Halocarbenes. Derivatives of bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane

The addition of dichlorocarbene (generated by the interaction of sodium methoxide and ethyl trichloroacetate) to bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene, its 3-chloro and exo-3,4-dichloro derivatives gives the exo 1 : 1 adducts in yields of 94, 89 and 48%. By suitable chemical reactions of these adducts, convenient syntheses of bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene and bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene, together with their monochloro, dichloro and trichloro derivatives are obtained. Bicyclo[4.2.1]-nonan-3-one is also obtained from bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene in a synthesis starting from the readily available 5-hydroxymethylnorborn-2-ene in an overall yield of 20%.

Herstellung der reinen,bicyclischen Olefine Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-2-en,Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-en und Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-en

Synthesis of the pure, bicyclic olefines Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-2-ene, Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene and Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-ene The synthesis of the olefines bicyclo[4.2.1]non-2-ene ( 3 ), bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene ( 4 ) and bicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-ene ( 5 ) of high ‘certified’ purity from one common precursor ( 7 ) is described.     

Isomerisierung der Bis(triphenylphosphin)platin(0)-Komplexe von Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1-en und Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1(8)-en

Isomerization of the Bis(triphenylphosphine)platin(0) Complexes of Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1-ene and Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1(8)-ene Isomrisation of the Bredt-Olefins 3 and 7 as the bis (triphenylphosphine)-Pt(0) complexes 1 and 8 , respectively, has been observed. The bridgehead-olefin 3 as well as the bicyclic olefins 4 , 5 and 6 have also been isomerized with catalytical amounts of (ethylene)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) ( 2 ).     

The Synthesis of Strained Methylene-bridged Bicyclic Olefins by the Intramolecular Wittig Reaction

A convenient synthesis of the strained methylene-bridged trans-cyclooctenes bicyclo[3.3.1]-1 (2)-nonene (1) , bicyclo[4.2.1]-1(8)-nonene (2) , and bicyclo[4.2.1]-1(2)-nonene (3) by the intramolecular Wittig reaction is described (see Schemes 1–4). The (3-oxocycloalkyl)alkyl-phosphonium bromides 20 , 27 and 38 undergoing cyclization to the bridgehead olefins are formed by simple reaction sequences. The spectral properties (IR., ¹H-NMR., ¹³C-NMR., and UV.) of the olefins are discussed with regard to their strain.     

Titanium-catalyzed [6π+2π]-cycloaddition of Si-containing alkynes to bis(1,3,5-cycloheptatriene-7-yl)alkanes

The reaction between Si-containing alkynes and bis(1,3,5-cycloheptatriene-7-yl)alkanes in the presence of the two-component catalyst Ti(acac)₂Cl₂-Et₂AlCl, led to the selective formation of mono- and bis-adducts – {9-[4-(2,4,6-cycloheptatrienyl)alkyl]-8-alkyl(phenyl)bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene-7-yl}(trimethyl)silanes and bis(7-trimethylsilyl-8-alkyl(phenyl)bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene-7-yl)alkanes in 78–86% yield. The structures of the obtained cycloadducts were confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Electrophilic Additions to Strained Bridgehead Olefins. Estimation of Strain by Comparison with the Solvolysis of Bridgehead Bromides

The addition of water, acetic acid, and hydrogen bromide to the strained bridge-head olefins bicyclo[3.3.1]-1(2)-nonene (1) , bicyclo[4.2.1]-1(8)-nonene (2) , and bicyclo[4.2.1]-1(2)-nonene (3) gives exclusively the bridgehead alcohols, acetates, and bromides, respectively. The reaction rate constants for the addition of acetic acid to the bridgehead olefins 1,2 and 3 , and the solvolysis rates for the related 1-bromo-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (4) and 1-bromobicyclo[4.2.1]nonane (5) were measured. A comparison of the activation enthalpies of these two reactions gives an estimate of relative strain of the bridgehead double bond. The strain in the bicyclo[4.2.1]nonenes 2 and 3 is similar to that in trans-cyclooctene (8-9 kcal/mol).     

Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and its derivatives—IV : Reactions of some carbonyl derivatives of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with diazomethane

The reaction of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione with diazomethane in situ does not lead to the homologous bicyclo[4.3.1]decane-2,7-dione, but mainly to tricyclo[4.4.0.0^2,9]decan-9-ol-5-one. The structure of the latter was confirmed by the proton NMR spectra measured with an addition of Eu(DPM)₃, A mixture of tricyclo[4,4.0.0^2,9]decan-9-ol-5-one and bicyclo[4.3.1]decane-2,7-dione results when solutions of diazomethane are used. The reaction of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione monoethyleneacetal with diazomethane in situ yields predominantly bicyclo[4.3.1]decane-2,7-dione. Under the same conditions bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one gives with diazomethane in situ only bicyclo[4.3.1]decan-2-one.     

The Non-planarity of the Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene Double bond. Crystal Structures of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene,Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene,and Bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene Systems

The crystal structures of (1R,4R,5S,8S)-9,10-dimethylidentricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undec2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 3 ), (1R,4R,5S,8S)11-isopropylidene-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.1.m^2,7]undec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 6 ), (1R,4R,5S8S)-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 9 ), (1R4R5S8S)-TRICYCLO[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7), 9-diene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 12 ) and (4R,5S)-tricyclo[6.1.1.0^2.7]dec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ( 16 ) were established by X-ray diffraction. The alkyl substituents onto the endocyclic bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond deviate from the C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), plane by 13.5°4 in 3 and by 13.9° in 6 , leaning toward the endo-face. No such out-of-plane deformations were observed with the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene derivatives 9 and 12 . The exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moieties in 3, 6 and 9 do not deviate significantly from planarity. The deviation from planarity of the double bond n bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives and planarity in bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene analogues is shown to be general by analysis of all known structures in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data File. The non-planarity of the bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond cannot be attributed only to bond-angle deformations which would favour rehybridizatoin of the olefinic C-atoms since the double bond in the more strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene drivative 16 deviates from planarity by less than 4°.     

Adducts of Bromo- and Dibromocarbenes with Dicyclo[6.1.0]non-2-ene and Tricyclo[8.1.0.01,9.04,6]deca-2,6-diene in Reaction with Potassium tert-Butylate

Adducts of bromo- and dibromocarbenes with bicyclo[6.1.0]non-2-ene and tricyclo-[8.1.0.0^{1 , 9}.0^{4 , 6}]deca-2,6-diene were studied in reaction with potassium tert-butylate in DMSO. The main process was formation of polycyclic cyclopropenes.     

鱼腥藻毒素类似物的合成研究

Synthesis and Some Reactions of New N-[Aryl(Benzyl,Cyclohexyl, Propyl)sulfonyl]-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-enes

A synthesis was accomplished of 4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene by aminolysis of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo,endo-5,6-dicarboxylic acid anhydride followed by transformation of amidoacid into imide that was subsequently reduced by lithium aluminum hydride. The reaction of the key tricyclic amine with sulfonyl chlorides afforded N-[aryl(benzyl, cyclohexyl, propyl)sulfonyl]-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-enes.The sulfonamides were subjected to epoxidation with perphthalic acid. By reaction of sulfonamides with p-nitrophenyl azide triazolines were obtained. The structure of compounds synthesized was confirmed by IR, ^1Hand ¹³ NMR spectra.     

Heterohomoconjugation versus heterobicycloconjugation in 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene

The bridged heterocycles, 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane (3), 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-ene (4), 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene (5) and 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene (2), were examined by photoelectron spectroscopy and the various MO levels theoretically located in each case by CNDO/S calculation. The combined information is best interpretable in terms of localized π interaction between sulfur and ethylene but not butadiene. The conclusion therefore is that thiabicyclotriene 2 is not a heterobicycloconjugated molecule but rather one best described as heterohomoconjugated.     

Simple NMR method for assigning relative stereochemistry of bridged bicyclo[3.n.1]-2-enes and tricyclo[7.n.1.0]-2-enes

The stereochemistry of syn and anti-forms of bridged bicyclo[3.n.1]-2-ene, tricyclo[7.n.1.0]-2-ene (n=1-3) and bicyclo[4.3.1]dec-7-ene derivatives can be assigned from the ¹³C chemical shift difference of the double bond. Both syn-9-R-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-enes and syn-13-R-tricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridec-2(7)-enes have a large shielding difference between sp² carbons, while the corresponding anti-forms have a smaller one. In contrast, 8-R-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-enes and 12-R-tricyclo[7.2.1.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-enes have an inverse correlation. The reason of this specificity is the influence of the γ-gauche effect on the chemical shift of C(2) atom. The GIAO theory has been applied to investigate the ¹³C chemical shifts. The conformational equilibrium in the formamide group of 13-formylamino-tricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridec-2(7)-enes has been studied.     

Differential Bridging in the Solvolysis of Epimeric Bicyclic Sulfonates,Norbornanes, Part 17

The solvolysis rates and products of the 2-exo- norbornyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl, bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-yl, bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-yl, bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-yl and bicyclo[3.2.2]non-6-yl p-toluenesulfonates 10–15 , respectively, are reported. The exo/endo rate ratios for these epimeric secondary tosylates in 80% EtOH varied from 1125 for 11 to 1.6 for 15 . The relative rates varied between 2278 for exo- 10 and 4 ·10^?3 for endo- 11 . The hydrolysis products were mainly rearranged alcohols and olefins. The unrearranged alcohols from the exo-tosylates were formed with complete or predominant retention of configuration, whereas those derived from the endo-tosylates were mostly inverted. These results confirm the hypothesis that relative rates, as well as products, are largely determined by the degree of bridging between the cationic center and a dorsal C-atom in the transition state and in the resulting ion pairs. Since bridging is a directed bonding interaction, it is subject to the same angle and conformational strains as ordinary covalent bonds. But bridging requires less geometrical change than the formation of normal bonds and of nonclassical ions.     

Reactions of p-Nitrophenyloxirane with Amines Containing Fragments with Bicyclic Skeleton

Reactions of p-nitrophenyloxirane with amines containing fragments with bicyclic skeleton of norbornene, norbornane, epoxynorbornane (stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, endo-5-(2-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, stereoisomeric exo- and endo-2-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, exo-5-aminomethyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) were investigated. The aminolysis of p-nitrophenyloxirane occurred regioselectively according to Krasusky rule as was proved by ¹H and ¹³C NMR data. As shown by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy the oxyalkylation product obtained from N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene was composed of two diastereomers originating from the presence of a chiral nitrogen atom in the rear part of the rigid bicyclic skeleton. New products of amino groups transformation in the molecules of hydroxyamines were obtained by reaction with p-methylbenzoyl chloride and p-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride. Regioselectivity of the attack of electrophilic reagents on the nitrogen in the hydroxyamines was confirmed by IR and ¹H NMR spectra of the products. The data on pharmacological activity tests of N-2-hydroxyethyl(p-nitrophenyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene are reported.     

Synthesis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and N-ethoxycarbonyl-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane

The synthesis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and N-ethoxycarbonyl-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane, starting from bicyclo[5.1.0]octan-2-one, is described. The key step is the cyclopropyl ring fission by pyridinium chloride.     

Ab Initio/GIAO-CCSD(T) study of bicyclic and related strained olefins. Structures and 13C NMR chemical shifts

Bicyclic and related strained olefins were studied by the ab initio/GIAO-CCSD(T) method. Structures and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of the olefins were calculated using ab initio/GIAO-CCSD(T) method. The delta(13)C of the olefinic carbons of the yet unknown bicyclo[1.1.0]but-1,3-ene 1 and bicyclo[2.1.0]pent-1(4)-ene 2 were computed to be 69.4 and 212.4, respectively, at the GIAO-CCSD(T)/qzp/tzp//MP2/cc-pVTZ level. The delta(13)C of the olefinic carbons of the intriguing (larger and also yet unknown) tricyclo[3.3.1.0(3,7)]non-3(7)-ene 6 and cubene 7 were calculated to be 172.5 and 187.4, respectively, at the GIAO-CCSD(T)/tzp/dz//MP2/cc-pVTZ level. In a related study, the relative energies of the various conformers of ethylene were computed and were found to correlate extremely well with the (13)C NMR chemical shifts, reflecting the linear dependence of the (13)C NMR chemical shifts on the internal strain of the molecules.
