Efficient halogenation of unsaturated organoaluminum compounds with sulfonyl halides

Alkenylalumanes prepared by carbo-or cycloalumination of substituted acetylenes reacted with an equivalent amount of sulfonyl halide (MsCl, TsCl, PhSO₂Cl, MsBr) in methylene chloride or hexane at room temperature to produce alkenyl halides in high yields. Electron-donor solvents such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran inhibited the halogenation process. β-Substituted vinylalumanes generated by hydroalumination of substituted acetylenes failed to react with sulfonyl halides.     

Oxidative skeletal rearrangement of bicyclo[4.2.2]deca-2,4,7,9-tetraenes to bicyclo[4.3.1]deca-2,4,8-triene-7,10-diols and study of the antitumor activity of the products in vitro

Bicyclo[4.3.1]deca-2,4,8-triene-7,10-diols were synthesized in 76–85% yields by oxidative skeletal isomerization of the substituted bicyclo[4.2.2]deca-2,4,7,9-tetraenes of various structures on treatment with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The structures of the obtained bicyclic unsaturated diols were reliably proven by modern spectral methods and X-ray diffraction. A high antitumor activity in vitro was found for bicyclo[4.3.1]deca-2,4,8-triene-7,10-diols against the Jurkat, K562, U937 and HL-60 tumor cell lines.     

First example of [6π+2π] cycloaddition of 1,2-dienes to 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene catalyzed by CoI compounds

A stereoselective [6π+2π] cycloaddition of 1,2-dienes to 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene in the presence of a multi-component catalytic system CoI₂/dppe/Zn/ZnI₂, which led to the formation of substituted (E)-bicyclo[4.2.2]deca-2,4,7-trienes in 76—87% yields, was accomplished for the first time.     

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.
