Eight 1,2-disubstituted cyclododecenes were synthesized from a-alkoxycarbonyl-cyclododecanone and alkyl chloroformate. Their configuration and conformation determined by IR, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the carbon-carbon double bond of all of the synthesized compounds has cis-configuration, and the ring skeleton of their preferred conformation is [lene2333] in solid, and they may adopt two different [lene2333] conformations, which exist in a dynamic equilibrium in solution.

Synthesis and Conformation Analysis of cis-1,2-Disubstituted Cyclododecanes

cis-1,2-Disubstituted cyclododecanes 2 were synthesized by sodium borohydride reduction of 2-monosubstituted cyclododecanones and their structures were confirmed by 1H- NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The higher cis-selectivity of NaBH4 reduction of 2- monosubstituted cyclododecanones was rationalized by the mode of “corner position carbonyl participation”. Crystal data for 2c: Mr = 263.21, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 1.11140(7), b = 2.62590(17), c = 0.91360(6) nm, β = 106.1840(10)°, V = 2.5606(3) nm3, Dc = 1.366 g/cm3, Z = 8, F(000) = 1104, μ(MoKα) = 3.182 mm-1, S = 0.837, the final R = 0.0460 and wR = 0.1033. Crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for 2c showed that its ring skeleton adopts [3333] conformation, in which the OH group presents at the side-exo position and the other one at the corner carbon. The 1H NMR data of 2 showed that 1-corner-R-2-side-exo-OH [3333] and 1-corner-OH-2-side- exo-R [3333] conformations coexist in dynamic equilibrium in the solution, but only the former presents in the crystal.

Electrochemical Reduction of 1,2-Di（p-tolylimino）ethane and 1,2-Di（2,4-dimethylphenylimino）ethane in Dimethylformamide

1,2-Di（p-tolylimino）ethane （Ⅰ） and 1,2-Di（2,4-dimethylphenylimino）ethane （Ⅱ） were synthesized and their electrochemical behavior investigated in dimethylformamide using classical voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, controlled potential electrolysis and coulometry. Both bis-Schiff base ligands examined show a cathodic irreversible peak which corresponds to one-electron reduction of the substrate to form anion radical. According to the fact obtained from cyclic voltammetry, that the current function （ip/v^1/2） is a decreasing function of the scan rate, it can be concluded that there is a following coupling chemical reaction （EC mechanism）. Thus, the most probable mechanism of electroreduction of both ligands is the coupling of two radicals to form a dimer.

Synthesis of 5-acetyloxazoles and 1,2-diketones from β-alkoxy-β-ketoenamides and their subsequent transformations

Lithiated alkoxyallenes, nitriles, and carboxylic acids have been employed as precursors in a three-component reaction leading to highly substituted β-alkoxy-β-ketoenamides. Upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, these enamides could be easily cyclized to 5-acetyloxazole derivatives. The synthesis is very flexible with respect to the substitution pattern at C-2 and C-4 of the oxazole core. A mechanistic suggestion for the oxazole formation is presented on the basis of (18)O-labeled compounds and their mass spectrometric analysis. In several cases, 1,2-diketones are formed as side products or even as major components. The acetyl moiety at C-5 of the oxazole derivatives can efficiently be converted into alkenyl or alkynyl moieties, which allows a multitude of subsequent reactions. Condensation reactions of the acetyl group provided the expected oxime or hydrazone. By applying a Fischer reaction, the phenylhydrazone could be transferred into an indole, which emphasizes the potential of 5-acetyloxazoles for the preparation of highly substituted (poly)heterocyclic systems. The alkynyl group at C-2 is prone to addition reactions, providing an enamine with interesting photophysical properties. Sonogashira couplings were performed with 5-alkynyl-substituted oxazoles, furnishing the expected aryl-substituted products. This alkynyl unit was employed for the preparation of a new, star-shaped trisoxazole derivative. The ability of this multivalent compound to form self-assembled monolayers between the basal plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and 1-phenyloctane was demonstrated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The star-shaped compound seems to prefer the C(3)-symmetric arrangement in this two-dimensional crystal. Two 1,2-diketones were smoothly converted into functionalized quinoxaline derivatives.
