Stereoselective synthesis of piperidinone and quinolinone systems via ring opening reactions using TiCl4/silyl reagents

Titanium(IV) chloride and silyl reagents mediated regio- and chemoselective ring opening reactions of oxa-bridged piperidinone ring systems were demonstrated. This methodology interestingly undergoes the stereoselective ring opening at the C-O bond of oxa-bridged piperidinone ring systems. Study of TiCl₄ with hydride or non-hydride silyl reagents furnished the product with selectivity. This protocol is highly valuable to synthesize a range of stereoselective piperidinones, quinolinones ring systems.     

Ring opening of cyclic sulfamidates with bromophenyl metal reagents: complementarity of sulfamidates and aziridines

Bromophenyl magnesium reagents generated via a Knochel type magnesium-halogen exchange of aryl iodides undergo regioselective ring opening of cyclic primary and secondary N-Boc sulfamidates in good to excellent yields. With secondary sulfamidates the reaction proceeds with clean inversion of the stereochemistry. This protocol complements the ring opening of aziridines with bromophenyl metal reagents and extends its scope to secondary substrates.

S(N)2 ring opening of beta-lactones: an alternative to catalytic asymmetric conjugate additions

Merging catalytic asymmetric acyl halide-aldehyde cyclocondensation (AAC) reactions with ensuing Grignard-mediated ring opening of the derived enantiomerically enriched beta-lactones is presented as a generally useful asymmetric synthesis of beta-disubstituted carboxylic acids. Enantiomerically enriched beta-lactones are subject to efficient S(N)2 ring opening with a variety of copper-modified alkyl Grignard reagents, including highly branched nucleophiles. Considerable structural variation in the lactone electrophile is also tolerated. Phenyl- and vinyl-derived organometallics are not efficient nucleophiles for the ring-opening reactions.

Addition of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ to vinyl bromide and chemical transformations of the resulting 5-bromospiro(1-pyrazoline-3,1′-cyclopropane)

The reaction of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ with vinyl bromide occurs as regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to give 5-bromospiro(1-pyrazoline-3,1′-cyclopropane) in ∼60% yield. Reactions of the latter with nucleophilic reagents, which can occur both with retention and opening of the cyclopropane ring, were studied. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Trapping of photochemical intermediates as a tool in organic synthesis. Preparation of spiroaziridinopyridones, a new heterocyclic system

Whereas alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents both at rt and at −80°C thermally react with 3-methylisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine giving alkylation and/or isoxazole ring opening products, sodium malonate and sodium boron hydride react only under UV irradiation. Selective trappings of ketenimine or azirine intermediates give an enaminopyridone or two diasteroisomeric spiroaziridinopirydones. Regioselective opening of the aziridine ring with perchloric acid gives 3(1-amino-ethyl)-1H-pyridin-2-one.

Stereoselective synthesis of P-stereogenic aminophosphines: ring opening of bulky oxazaphospholidines

A highly diastereoselective and efficient synthesis of P-stereogenic bulky alkyl and aryl aminophosphines that relies on ring opening of tert-butyl-oxazaphospholidine 2 is described. Ring opening with several organometallic reagents takes place with inversion of configuration at the phosphorus center as it has been demonstrated by X-ray analysis of two ring-opened intermediates. The unprecedented reactivity observed is attributed to the presence of a free NH functionality that facilitates the attack of the organometallic reagent in an S(N)2@P-type process.
