Synthesis and thermal modulation of the fluorescence of a pyrene-arylmaleimide dyad and its Diels-Alder adduct

The fluorescence of a pyrene-arylmaleimide dyad and its Diels-Alder adduct can be thermally modulated through reversible Diels-Alder reaction of arylmaleimide unit with furan. Moreover, the fluorescence intensities of the Diels-Alder adduct of dyad 1 with furan vary linearly with the temperatures of the corresponding solutions, demonstrating that these molecules are interesting compounds for studies of fluorescent molecular thermometers.     

Valence-bond isomer chemistry. Part 11 [1]. Thermal rearrangement of the Diels-Alder adduct of hexafluorobicyclo-[2.2.0]hexa-2,5-diene and 2,3-Dimethylbuta-1,3-diene: a [1,3] sigmatropic shift of fluorine

Flow pyrolysis of the Diels-Alder adduct of hexafluorobicyclo[2.2.0]hexa-2,5-diene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene gives an unusual product, the Diels-Alder adduct of hexafluorobenzene and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene, and thence via an exclusive [1,3] sigmatropic fluorine shift, its isomeric triene. Loss of hydrogen fluoride from the unusual Diels-Alder adduct readily affords 1,2,3,4-tetrafluoro-6,7-dimethylnaphthalene.

High-performance,solution-processed organic thin film transistors from a novel pentacene precursor

The Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of the organic semiconductor pentacene with N-sulfinylacetamide yields a soluble adduct. Spin-coated thin films of this adduct undergo solid-phase conversion to form thin films of pentacene at moderate temperatures. Organic thin film transistors fabricated by spin-coating this adduct, followed by thermal conversion to pentacene, exhibit the highest mobility reported to date for a solution-processed organic semiconductor.     

Diels-Alder reaction of maldoxin with an isopropenylallene

The Diels-Alder reaction of maldoxin with an isopropenylallene at 60-75 °C afforded an adduct closely related to chloropestolide A (24%) and a second adduct (0-11%) that underwent an ene reaction to generate the chloropupukeanolide D (11-22%) skeleton. The Diels-Alder reaction occurred with good selectively (>5:1) from a single face of maldoxin under much milder conditions than previously reported for the analogous dimethoxycyclohexadienone. Furthermore, the ene reaction took place under mild conditions, whereas the analogous Diels-Alder adduct from the dimethoxycyclohexadienone did not undergo an ene reaction.     

Total synthsis of (+)-ambuic acid: α-bromination with 1,2-dibromotetrachloroethane

Total synthesis of (+)-ambuic acid has been accomplished from the readily available stereocontrolled Diels-Alder adduct of cyclopentadiene and iodo-1,4-benzoquinone monoketal through an efficient series of steps. A new method for the highly commendable synthesis of α-brominated Diels-Alder adduct is described.     

Prostaglandin synthesis from a fulvene with the ω-side chain equivalent

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the Diels-Alder adduct of 6-(2,2-ethylene-dioxyheptyl) fulvene with 2-chloroacrylonitrile gave 7-anti-(3-oxo-1-trans-octenyl)-2-chloro-2-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene, which is an intermediate of 12-epi-prostaglandine. On the other hand, the hydrolysis of 7-(3,3-ethylenedioxyoctylidene)bicyclo-[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one, obtained from the Diels-Alder adduct of the fulvene with 2-chloroacryloyl chloride, gave a mixture (3:2) of 7-anti- and 7-syn-(3-oxo-1-trans-octenyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one. The latter compound was oonverted into prostaglandin F_2α.     

Catalytic, highly enantio, and diastereoselective nitroso diels-alder reaction

This communication presents studies that nitroso Diels-Alder adduct has been furnished in uniformly high yield and high enantioselectivity using nitrosopyridine as a substrate and copper as a catalyst. The obtained Diels-Alder adduct was easily transformed to corresponding chiral amino alcohols without loss of enantioselectivity.     

Diels-Alder reactions with dienes bearing a remote stereogenic center. Conformational model for diastereofacial selectivity

In Diels-Alder reactions of 1-acyloxydienes, the 1-O-methylmandeloxy group has the distinct advantage of serving dual functions. Not only is it an effective chiral auxiliary for Diels-Alder stereocontrol, but also it provides rather reliable determination of the absolute stereochemistry of the Diels-Alder adduct, via the Dale-Mosher NMR model, subject only to the ability to resolve the proper NMR resonances. Study of the Diels-Alder reactions of such chiral 1-acyloxydienes has led us to a transition structure model which uniquely explains the origin of the observed stereoselectivities and is supported by experimental evidence, including X-ray structures showing the conformations of three Diels-Alder adducts. The model may also have wider applicability in conformational analysis and control of selectivity in other reactions.     

Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-panepophenanthrin, a novel inhibitor of the ubiquitin-activating enzyme

An enantioselective total synthesis of the novel natural product (+)-panepophenanthrin has been accomplished in which a biomimetic Diels-Alder dimerisation is a key step. The monomeric precursor 2 was assembled from the readily available Diels-Alder adduct of cyclopentadiene and p-benzoquinone through a short, simple sequence employing chemo- and stereoselective operations.     

Synthesis of a 4,5-epoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one derivative via epoxide ring opening, 1,3-carbonyl transposition and epoxide ring regeneration: a synthetic study on a scyphostatin analogue

A 6-alkyl-4,5-epoxy-6-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one derivative, a model compound for the hydrophilic moiety of scyphostatin, was stereoselectively synthesized from the Diels-Alder adduct. The key steps were the reductive cleavage of the 4,5-epoxide ring of the epoxidated adduct, the 1,3-carbonyl transposition of the 3-carbonyl group to the C1 position by a Wharton reaction and stereoselective bromination to provide a trans bromohydrin derivative, a precursor to the desired compound. Desilylation of the bromohydrin derivative with TBAF directly gave the target compound.     

Sequential ene, Diels-Alder reactions of AF4-yne with 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene

(4,5-Dehydro)-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro [2.2]paracyclophane (AF4-yne) undergoes an ene reaction with 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene, the adduct of which subsequently undergoes a further Diels-Alder reaction with a second equivalent of AF4-yne to give two stereoisomeric 2:1 adducts. A very small amount of the classic 1:1 Diels-Alder adduct also can be isolated from the reaction. Structure assignments of all products were determined by NMR through a series of H1-H1, H1-C13 one bond, and H1-C13 two and three bond correlation experiments as well as H1-H1 NOE experiments.     

Catalytic enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction by self-assembly of the components on a Lewis acid template

Thermal Diels-Alder reaction of 2,4-hexadienol with methyl acrylate is unselective. By simultaneous coordination of diene and dienophile to a chiral bimetallic Lewis acid catalyst, a LACASA-DA reaction occurs with complete control of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity to give a single adduct.

Synthesis and thermolysis of a Diels-Alder adduct of pentacene and thiophosgene

Pentacene has excellent semi-conducting properties but its practical use in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) gives rise to a lot of problems caused by its sensitivity to oxygen and its very low solubility. In order to solve the problems involved in the use of pentacene, we have synthesized a Diels-Alder adduct of pentacene with thiophosgene.

3,4-Homoadamantadiene: generation and regioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of a novel tricyclic bridgehead allene

Dehalogenation of 3-bromo-4-iodo-4-homoadamantene with n-BuLi gave rise to 3,4-homoadamantadiene, a novel tricyclic bridgehead allene, which readily dimerized to head-to-head and head-to-tail [2+2] cycloadducts in a ratio of 96:4. Trapping with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran was successful to yield the corresponding Diels-Alder adduct.

Preparation of 13C4-6-methyl anthranilic ester via a Diels-Alder-type process. an experimental and theoretical study to characterize an unexpected isotope exchange

Buta-2,3-dienoate reacts with vinyl ketenimine to give the corresponding substituted aniline through a Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Besides the expected Diels-Alder adduct 3a, the aniline 3b was also obtained in a ratio of 91:9. The observed (13)C exchange is explained on the basis of a reversible [2 + 2] cycloaddition competing with the [4 + 2] process. This is supported by B3LYP DFT computations, as a stepwise pathway lies very close in energy to the [4 + 2] concerted one. [reaction: see text]
