MgBr2‐Mediated Ionic Diels–Alder Reaction of Acetals of α,β‐Unsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones with 1,3‐Dienes

A facile, mild, and efficient methodology for the ionic Diels–Alder reaction of acetals of α,β‐unsaturated ketones and aldehydes as dienophiles with various 1,3‐dienes employing MgBr₂ as the Lewis acid catalyst to furnish corresponding Diels–Alder adducts at ambient temperature is described.     

3-cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene and 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropyne Synthesis and chemical properties

3-Cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene was synthesized by the reactions of mono- or dibromoferrocenylcyclopropanes with Bu^tOK in DMSO. Treatment of dibromoferro-cenylcyclopropane with Bu^tOK in THF afforded 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropyne in 52% yield. Heterolysis of the C-C bond in the three-membered ring of 3-cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene at low and high temperatures was studied. Hydrolysis yielded 3-cyclobutyl-1H-cyclopentaferrocene and products with linear structures,viz., 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropene,E- andZ-I-ferrocenyl-1-cyclobutylpropenes, and 1-cyclobutylidene-1-ferrocenylacetone. Cyclopropene reacts with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran to form two Diels-Alder adducts, while the enyne does not react with 1,3-diphenylbenzofuran.

Copolymerization of dienes with neodymium tricarboxylate-based catalysts and cis-polymerization mechanism of dienes

It was found that poly(butadiene), poly(isoprene), and poly(2,3-dimethylbutadiene) with high cis-1,4 content were obtained with Nd(OCOR)₃–(i-Bu)₃Al–Et₂AlCl catalysts (R = CF₃, CCl₃, CHCl₂, CH₂Cl, CH₃) in hexane at 50°C [cis-1,4 content: poly(BD), > 98%; poly(IP), ≥ 96%; poly(DMBD), ≥ 94%]. Copolymerization of IP and styrene (St) was carried out at various monomer feed ratios to evaluate the monomer reactivity ratio and cis-1,4 content of the diene unit and then to elucidate the cis-1,4 polymerization mechanism of IP. The cis-1,4 content of the IP unit in the copolymers decreased with increasing St content in the copolymers. The cis-1,4 polymerization was disturbed by incorporating St unit in the copolymers, since the penultimate St unit hardly coordinates to the neodymium metal, resulting in a decrease of the cis-1,4 content in the copolymers. That is, the cis-1,4 polymerization of IP is suggested to be controlled by a back-biting coordination of the penultimate diene unit. On the other hand, in the case of poly(BD-co-IP) and poly(BD-co-DMBD), the cis-1,4 content of the BD, IP, and DMBD units in the copolymers was almost constant (cis: 94–98%), irrespective of the monomer feed ratios and polymerization temperature. Consequently, the penultimate IP and DMBD units favorably control the terminal BD, IP, or DMBD unit to the cis-1,4 configuration through the back-biting coordination. For the monomer reactivity ratios, a clear difference was observed in each system: r_BD = 1.22, r_IP = 1.14; r_BD = 40.9, r_DMBD = 0.15. Low polymerizability of DMBD was mainly ascribed to the steric effect of the methyl substituents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1707–1716, 1998     

A facile synthesis of (±)-15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 methyl ester

A simple and facile synthesis of racemic 15-deoxy-Δ^12,14-prostaglandin J₂ methyl ester from readily available Corey lactone diol in total eleven steps was suggested. The standard methods provided a pathway to a block with an integrated w w w-chain and further to PGJ₂ methyl ester. The latter was smoothly converted to the target prostaglandin in the TsOH–CH₂Cl₂ medium when allylic alcohol moiety was transformed to exocyclic diene substituent conjugated with endocyclic enone system.
