Addition of the phenoxathiin cation radical to alkenes and nonconjugated dienes. Formation of (E)- and (Z)-(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)alkenes and (E)- and (Z)-(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)dienes on basic alumina

Addition of phenoxathiin cation radical (PO*+) to acyclic alkenes in acetonitrile (MeCN) solution occurred stereospecifically to form bis(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)alkane adducts. Stereospecific trans addition is ascribed to the intermediacy of an episulfonium cation radical. The alkenes used were cis- and trans-2-butene, cis- and trans-2-pentene, cis- and trans-4-methyl-2-pentene, cis- and trans-4-octene, trans-3-hexene, trans-3-octene, trans-5-decene, cis-2-hexene, and cis-2-heptene. The erythro bisadducts (compounds 6) were obtained with trans-alkenes, while threo bisadducts (compounds 7) were obtained with cis-alkenes. The assigned structures of 6 and 7 were consistent with their NMR spectra and, in one case, 6c (the adduct of trans-4-methyl-2-pentene) was confirmed with X-ray crystallography. Additions of PO*+ to 1,4-hexa-, 1,5-hexa-, 1,6-hepta-, and 1,7-octadiene gave bis(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)alkenes (compounds 8), the assigned structures of which were consistent with their NMR spectra. Each of these adducts lost a proton and phenoxathiin (PO) when treated with basic alumina in MeCN solution. Compounds 6 (from trans-alkenes) gave mixtures of (Z)- (9) and (E)-(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)alkenes (10) in which the (Z)-isomers (9) were dominant. On the other hand, compounds 7 (from cis-alkenes) gave mixtures of 9 and 10 in which, with one exception (the adduct 7c of cis-4-methyl-2-pentene), compounds 10 were dominant. The path to elimination is discussed. The alkenes 9 and 10 were characterized with NMR spectroscopy and, in one case (9a), with X-ray crystallography. Reactions of 8b-d with basic alumina gave mixtures of (E)- (13) and (Z)-(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)dienes (14), in which compounds 13 were dominant. The configuration of the product from 8a (the adduct of 1,4-hexadiene) could not be settled. Noteworthy features in the coupling patterns and chemical shifts in the NMR spectra of some of the adducts and their products are discussed and related to adduct conformations.     

[2＋2] Photocycloaddition of [60] Fullerene with Podophyllotoxin Derivative Containing Cyclohexadienone Group

Photochemical [2 2] cycloaddition of C60 with podophyllotoxin derivative containing a cyclohexadienone group in o-dichlorobenzene afforded an isomeric mixture of adducts and a pure adduct of C60-fused podophyllotoxin derivatives. The structures of the products were characterized by MS, NMR and IR spectra.     

Reactions of phosphite esters and trisdialkylaminophosphines with 5‐substituted 1,3,4‐thiadiazol derivatives

5‐{[(1E)‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol ( 1a ) reacts with trialkyl phosphites ( 2a–c ) to give the respective dialkyl phosphonate adducts ( 4a–c ). On the other hand, the reactions of trisdialkylaminophosphines ( 3a,b ) with 1a , 5‐{[(1E)‐(4‐phenyl)methylene]amino}‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol ( 1b ) yield the corresponding open dipolar structures 6a–c . In the case of the reaction of triethyl phosphite ( 2a ) with 1b , both the dialkyl phosphonate adduct ( 7 ) and the dipolar product ( 8a ) are obtained. Moreover, triisopropyl phosphite ( 2c ) reacts with 1b to give both the S‐alkyl and the N‐alkyl phosphonate adducts ( 9a,b ), respectively. Mechanisms are proposed to explain the formation of the new products, and their structures were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral studies. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Differences in reactions of vinyl derivatives of pyrrole and thiophene with acetylenic esters

1-Methyl-2-vinylpyrrole and 2-vinylthiophene showed remarkable differences in reactivity and regioselectivity upon reaction with methyl propiolate, respectively forming dimethyl 1-methylindole-4,7-dicarboxylate and dimethyl benzo[b]thiophene-4,6-dicarboxylate. 1-Methyl-2-(1-propenyl)pyrrole reacted with dimethyl ace-tylenedicarboxylate to give Diels-Alder and Michael-type adducts. On the other hand, 2-(1-propenyl)thiophene gave a 1:2 adduct which results via an initial cycloaddition and subsequent ene reaction.     

CHLOROSULFONATION OF SOME CRISSCROSS CYCLOADDUCTS FROM ISOCYANATES AND DIARYL AZINES

Abstract

Reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (1) with arylaldehyde azines (7) gave the 2:1 crisscross adducts (8);attempts to prepare a disulphonamide of 8a gave only a mixture of the monosulfamide 9 and the diureide 10. The latter with trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride afforded the derivative 12a. and with chlorosulfonic acid hydrazinodicarbonamide (11). The azine 7a with benzoyl isocyanate (2) gave the expected crisscross adduct 13. With thiobenzoyl isocyanate (3) however, both 7a and 7d gave the 1: 1 adducts (14). whereas 7c gave a different 2: 1 adduct (15). Treatment of 14a with 1 gave the ureide 16. With both methyl isocyanate (4) and phenyl isocyanate (S), 7a gave the expected crisscross adducts (17a and b), and 7c with 5 similarly gave 17c. When 7a was treated with 1 followed by aqueous potassium iodide, the diureide (10) was formed; concentrated nitric acid converted 10 into the triazolenone (18). Treatment of 18 with chlorosulfonic acid-thionyl chloride gave the sulfonyl chloride (19) which was characterised as the sulfonamides (20 a-d).

Diarylsulfamoyl azines (21 a-f) with 1 and potassium iodide, gave the diureides 22 a-f. 4-Methoxy-3-sulfamoylbenzaldehydeazines (23 a-c) reacted with 3 to give the 1: I adducts 24 a-c, while 4-chlorosulfonylphenyl isocyanate (6) with benzaldehyde azine (7a) gave the bis-chlorosulfonyl adduct (25a). characterised as the diethylsulfonamide 25b. Attempted chlorosulfonation of the tetraphenyl cycloadduct 17b did not give the tetrasulfonyl chloride (although the reaction was successful with the more reactive rnethoxy adduct 17c); the tetrasulfonyl chloride (26a) was converted into 3 sulfonamides (26 b-d). The unsymmetrically-substituted diaryl azines (27) reacted with 1 and potassium iodide to yield the diureides 28 a-f. Analogous cycloadditions of 1 with several keto azines were unsuccessful. Selected compounds will be screened for medicinal and pesticidal activity; compounds 9,10 and 12a showed fungicidal activity against barley powdery mildew.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of trivalent amino acid derived chiral phosphorus compounds

Reaction of the N-toluenesulfonyl derivatives of (S)-alanine, phenylalanine, and valine (4-6) with PhPCl(2) gave in high yield the 4-methyl, benzyl, and isopropyl derivatives (7-9) of 2-phenyl-1-p-toluenesulfonyl-1,3,2-oxazaphospholidin-5-one. The ratios of the (2S,4S)/(2R,4S) diastereomers (cis/trans isomers) were 1:1, 2:1, and 10:1 for the methyl, benzyl, and isopropyl derivatives 7a,b, 8a,b, and 9a,b, respectively. For 7a,b, both isomers could be crystallized, but for the others only the major isomers were isolable. The X-ray crystal structure of 9a shows that the isopropyl and phenyl groups are mutually cis and that the tolyl moiety is oriented s-trans to both the isopropyl and phenyl groups. Reaction of 6 with Cl(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PCl(2) (10) gave a 56:38:7 mixture of the cis/cis, cis/trans, and trans/trans diphosphorus heterocycles 11a-c. The major isomer could be crystallized and isolated free of the other diastereomers. Reaction of 6 with EtPCl(2) gave a 6:1 mixture of cis/trans isomers of the ethyl-substituted heterocycles 12a,b as an inseparable oil but allowed confirmation of the structure of 11a. Slow epimerization at phosphorus may occur by inversion but more likely by ring opening/closure, since 7b, 9a, and 11a give rise upon standing in solution to mixtures containing starting material and 7a, 9b, and 11b, respectively, along with the free amino acid derivatives 4 and 6. The NMR spectra, and in particular the coupling constants between the alpha-hydrogen atom of the amino acid moiety and phosphorus, were used to establish the identities of the cis and trans isomers. Reaction of 9a with (THF)W(CO)(5) gave the phosphorus-ligated adduct (9a)W(CO)(5) (13), and the IR spectrum of this complex shows that 9a is a strongly electron-withdrawing ligand. The geometry of the sulfonamide moiety is discussed in detail, as are the (1)H NMR coupling constants. The data are consistent with the presence of little steric interaction between the cis isopropyl and phosphorus substituent in 9a, 11a, and 12a and orientation of the tolyl moiety s-cis to the isopropyl group in 9b, 12b, and 13.     

Synthesis of Novel Tetraacetal Oxa-Cage Compounds from 2-Methylthiofurans

Several novel tetraacetal oxa-cage compounds 9a-9f were synthesized from the corresponding 2-methylthiofurans la-lf by a short sequence. The structures of these tetraoxa-cage compounds were deduced from their spectral data and proven by X-ray analysis of 9a . Ozonolysis of the endo adducts 5a-5f in CH₂C1₂ at ?78 °C followed by reduction with dimethyl sulfide gave the tetraoxa-cages 9a-9f in 65-75% yields, respectively. Ozonolysis of the exo adduct 6a under the same reaction conditions gave the tetracarbonyl compound 10 . The phenylthio group substituted tetraoxa-cage 13 and the tetraacetal oxa-cage 17, with one more carbon atom on the apex position, were also synthesized in a similar sequence.     

Photolysis and Cycloaddition Reactivity of Diferrocenyl Substituted Cyclopentadienone

The photolysis results of new diferrocenyl substituted cyclopentadienone(3) show that sunlight and air play an important role in the decomposition of compound 3, and two new compounds, 2-cyclopentenone(4) and α-pyrone(5), were obtained via photolysis of compound 3. The photolysis process was investigated by ¹H NMR, and a plausible mechanism for the formation of compound 5 was deduced. The cycloaddition reactions of substituted cyclopentadienones(3, 7, 9) with maleimide gave substituted imides 8, 10, 11, 12 and an unprecedented diferrocenyl substituted 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-one derivative 13, respectively. The structures of compounds 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 were confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis technique.     

Tetraalkyl Hydroxymethylene-bisphosphonate and Dialkyl 1-Diphenylphosphinoyl-1-hydroxy-ethylphosphonate Derivatives by the Pudovik Reaction and Their Rearranged Products

The reaction of diethyl α-oxoethylphosphonate and diethyl oxobenzylphosphonate with diethyl phosphite, dimethyl phosphite, and diphenylphosphine oxide affords, depending on the substrates and conditions (nature and quantity of the amine catalyst, temperature, and solvent), the Pudovik adduct and/or the corresponding >P(O)–CH–O–P(O)< product formed by rearrangement. The nature of the substituent on the central carbon atom (a methyl or phenyl group) influences the inclination for the rearrangement. The asymmetric products (either adducts or rearranged species) with different P(O)Y functions (Y = RO or Ph) exhibit interesting NMR features.     

Synthesis of highly branched sulfur-nitrogen heterocycles by cascade cycloadditions of [1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazines and [1,2]dithiolopyrroles

We report the synthesis of some new polysulfur-nitrogen heterocycles by cascade cycloadditions to readily available polycyclic 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones. Thus, treatment of bis[1,2]dithiolopyrrole dithione 1 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or dibenzoylacetylene (DBA) gave the 1:4 adducts 2a,b and 3a. On the other hand, cycloaddition of bis[1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazine dithiones 4a-d with the same dipolarophiles gave the 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4 adducts 5a-c, 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a, and 10a,c,d selectively in fair to high yields. Reaction conditions were crucial for achievement of selectivity in thermal reactions. Catalysis by scandium triflate was used in the reaction of 4a and 2 equiv of DMAD. Treatment of the [1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazine dithione 11 with DBA gave the 1:2, 1:3 (two isomers), and 1:4 adducts 12-14 and 15a-d selectively. Cyclic voltammetry of selected examples showed irreversible processes that were not influenced by peripheral groups bonded to the heterocyclic system.     

A novel 2-C reactivity studies of 1-aroyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-ones

The 2-C, methylene group of 1-aroyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-ones (2) have been showed to possess a superior reactivity towards many of organic reagents. The naphthopyrones (2) condensed with aromatic aldehydes to give the 2-arylidine derivatives (3). Bromination of 2 gave 1,2-dibromo (4) or 5-bromo (5) derivatives depending on the reaction conditions. The base catalyzed addition or cycloaddition of naphthopyrones (2) to 4-methoxy benzalacetophenone gave the expected Michael adduct (6) or the cyclic adducts (7–9) depending on the type of catalytic base and reaction conditions. Structures of the products have been established by elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopic methods.     

Reaction of nitrilimines with 2-substituted aza-heterocycles. Synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyridine and pyrimido[2,1-d]1,2,3,5- tetrazine

The reaction of nitrilimine 6a with ethyl pyridine-2-acetate (7) gave the corresponding pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyridine 8, while the reaction of 6b containing an ester moiety afforded the acyclic adduct 9. The reaction of 6a with 2-aminopyrimidine (10) gave the novel unexpected pyrimido[2,1-d]1,2,3,5-tetrazine 11. Acyclic adducts 16 and 17 were obtained from the reaction of 6b with 2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole (14) and 2-aminobenzimidazole (15), respectively.     

Asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of chiral sulphinylethenes with 1-methyl-3-oxido-pyridinium and some nitrones

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of (R)-(+)-p-tolyl vinyl sulphoxide 1 with 1-methyl-3-oxidopyridinium 6 proceeded in a diastereoselective manner to afford the exo and endo cycloadducts 11a,b and 12a in 36%, 7% and 29% yield, respectively. The absolute configuration of 11a was determined by its transformation to (1S)-(−)-2-tropanol (−)-15. Attempts to the cycloaddition of the sulphinylethenes 17–19 with the pyridinium 6 were nsuccessful under several conditions. The reaction of the sulphoxide 20 with pyrroline 1-oxide 21 gave an inseparable mixture of products. The cycloaddition of 20 with 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine 1-oxide22 afforded a mixture of four adducts in ca. 90% yield. High level of diastereoselectivity was achieved for the endo cycloaddition affording the adduct 23 in 33% isolated yield. The absolute configuration of 23 was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The stereochemical course of the reaction was discussed based on the absolute configuration of the products.     

Enantioselective construction of highly functionalized bicyclo[4.3.0] system through Diels-Alder cycloaddition

The Diels-Alder reaction of chiral 2-alkylsulfinyl-1-nitroalkene 4 with Danishefsky's diene afforded adducts 9a and 10a in good chemical yield with a high enantiomeric excess, while diastereomeric nitroalkene 5 gave 9b and 10b, enantiomeric to 9a and 10a, respectively. The synthesis of the chiral dienophiles and mechanism of the chiral induction in the cycloaddition are discussed.     

Multinuclear NMR studies and ab initio structure calculations of hindered phencyclone diels‐alder adducts from symmetrical cyclic dienophiles: Cyclohexene,vinylene carbonate,vinylene trithiocarbonate and two N‐aryl maleimides

A series of hindered Diels‐Alder adducts have been prepared from phencyclone, 1 , with various unusual symmetrical cyclic dienophiles, including cyclohexene, 2a ; vinylene carbonate, 2b ; vinylene trithiocarbonate, 2c ; and the N‐aryl maleimides: N‐(4‐dimethylamino‐3,5‐dinitrophenyl)maleimide (“Tuppy's maleimide”), 2d ; and N‐[3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]maleimide, 2e . The highly hindered adducts, 3a‐e , respectively, were extensively characterized by one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR methods, observing proton, carbon‐13 and fluorine‐19. High resolution COSY45 spectra permitted rigorous proton NMR assignments. The 2D heteronuclear C‐H chemical shift correlation spectra (HETCOR, XHCORR) were obtained for adducts 3a‐d , allowing specific assignments for protonated carbons. Corrections to earlier proton NMR assignments for the vinylene carbonate adduct are given; results of the gated decoupling ¹³C NMR experiment for this adduct supported endo adduct stereochemistry. Relative proton chemical shifts for bridgehead phenyls of adduct 3c appeared anomalous relative to other adducts, suggesting possible special anisotropic interactions (with endocyclic sulfur or other anisotropic groups in the product) due to the unusual calculated orientation of the phenyls. The unsubstituted bridgehead phenyls in all adducts were shown to exhibit slow exchange limit (SEL) ¹H and ¹³C spectra on the NMR timescales at ambient temperatures (7 tesla) showing slow rotations about the C(sp³)‐C(aryl sp²) bonds. The rapid rotation of the N‐aryl rings of the maleimide adducts was indicated by fast exchange limit spectra, suggesting that ortho substitution of the N‐aryl ring may be necessary to slow this rotation to the SEL regime. Ab initio geometry optimizations at the Hartree‐Fock level were carried out for each adduct, with the 6‐31G* basis sets. Appreciable geometry differences were seen in calculated structures, and significant NMR chemical shift differences were experimentally observed, depending on the nature of the groups attached to the (Z)‐HC=CH moiety of the dienophiles.     

Reactions of 9-substituted guanines with bromomalondialdehyde in aqueous solution predominantly yield glyoxal-derived adducts

Reactions of 9-ethylguanine, 2'-deoxyguanosine and guanosine with bromomalondialdehyde in aqueous buffers over a wide pH-range were studied. The main products were isolated and characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR and mass spectroscopy. The final products formed under acidic and basic conditions were different, but they shared the common feature of being derived from glyoxal. Among the 1 : 1 adducts, 1,N(2)-(trans-1,2-dihydroxyethano)guanine adduct (6) predominated at pH < 6 and N(2)-carboxymethylguanine adduct (10a,b) at pH > 7. In addition to these, an N(2)-(4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methylene adduct (11a,b) and an N(2)-carboxymethyl-1,N(2)-(trans-1,2-dihydroxyethano)guanine adduct (12) were obtained at pH 10. The results of kinetic experiments suggest that bromomalondialdehyde is significantly decomposed to formic acid and glycolaldehyde under the conditions required to obtain guanine adducts. Glycolaldehyde is oxidized to glyoxal, which then modifies the guanine base more readily than bromomalondialdehyde. Besides the glyoxal-derived adducts, 1,N(2)-ethenoguanine (5a-c) and N(2),3-ethenoguanine adducts (4a-c) were formed as minor products, and a transient accumulation of two unstable intermediates, tentatively identified as 1,N(2)-(1,2,2,3-tetrahydroxypropano)(8) and 1,N(2)-(2-formyl-1,2,3-trihydroxypropano)(9) adducts, was observed.     

Adducts of Tröger bases and activated acetylenes: synthesis and structure

It was found by X-ray diffraction and NMR studies that the structure of the adduct of bis-ortho-methyl-bis-para-methyl substituted Tröger base and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is a [3.3.1]bicyclic compound corresponding to the methyl 13-[1-(methoxycarbonyl)vinyl]-13-carboxylate. Chemical and NMR evidence supported similar structures for all other reported adducts of Tröger bases and activated acetylenes.     

Stereospecific Synthesis of 2-Oxazinyl-4-oxoazetidinecarbamates Starting from a 1,2-Diazepine. A new type of intramolecular transbenzoylation

Azeitidinodiazepines 4b and 4c react with acylnitroso dienophiles 5a–c , specifically from their convexe α-side, but in a non-regiospecific way, leading thereby stereospecifically to the expected adducts 6a–d and 7a–d . The three-dimensional structures of 6a and 7a were determined by X-ray analyses which corroborated their NMR data. OsO₄ cis-glycolization occurred in good yield with the inverse adducts 7a and 7e and led to the rearranged products 10 . These latter ones result from an intramolecular N- to O-transbenzoylation of the short-lived intermediates 9 followed by fragmentation of the animal function. X-Ray analysis of 7a showed the N(10) atom to be pyramidal, a result which demonstrates that it does not have any pronounced benzamide character; otherwise no such N- to O-transbenzoylation would have taken place. Structure and relative configuration of 10a were ascertained by X-ray analysis which confirmed its NMR data as well as the stereochemical outcome of its formation.     

Fixation of carbon dioxide and related small molecules by a bifunctional frustrated pyrazolylborane Lewis pair

The bifunctional frustrated Lewis pair 1-[bis(pentafluorophenyl)boryl]-3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazole (1) was employed for small molecule fixation by reaction with carbon dioxide, paraformaldehyde, tert-butyl isocyanate, tert-butyl isothiocyanate, methyl isothiocyanate and benzonitrile, affording the adducts 3-8 as zwitterionic, bicyclic boraheterocycles. Treatment of 1 with tert-butyl isocyanide gave the isocyanide-borane complex 9, whereas the zwitterionic alkynylborate 10 was formed by C-H bond activation of phenylacetylene. The molecular structures of all products 3-10 were established by X-ray diffraction analyses. DFT calculations at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory revealed that CO(2) fixation by 1 and formation of the adduct 3 is strongly exothermic and proceeds with a low energy barrier of approximately 7.3 kcal mol(-1) via an intermediate van der Waals complex.     

[60]富勒烯与1, 1'-联茚的Diels-Alder加成物的合成与结构表征

通过Diels-Alder环加成反应,发现可控制反应条件,使1,1'-联茚与C60反应,并高产率地得到具有新颖结构的单加成物。用HPLC,FT-IR,FD-MS及^1HNMR,^13CNMR,HMQC,HMBC等多种波谱技术对其结构进行表征,测得它的两个sp^3杂化的桥头碳的化学位移为σC:70.91,证明生成的衍生物为[6,6]闭式环加成。^13CNMR谱共给出38个信号,表明C601,1'-联茚衍生物分子具有Cs对称性;此外,还发现单加成衍生物C601,1'-联茚热稳定性好,在四氢呋喃、丙酮等极性溶剂中溶解性好,很适合于在LB膜及光限幅性能方面的研究。
