Höhere,kondensierte Ringsysteme. 6. Mitteilung [1]. NBS-Dehydrierungen an 9,10-Dihydrophenanthrensystemen Synthese von [23] (2,7) Phenanthrenophan-trien

The usefulness of the low temperature dehydrogenation by N-bromosuccinimide is illustrated in the 9, 10-dihydrophenantheren serie. The syntheses of 2, 7-di-chloromethyl-phenanthrene, 2, 7-di-bromomethyl-phenanthrene and hexabromo-[2³] (2,7) phenanthrenophane by NBS-dehydrogenation are described. Debromination of hexabromo-[2³] (2,7) phenanthrenophane led to [2³] (2,7) phenanthrenophane-triene. The structure of these new compounds was confirmed by NMR.-, UV.- and mass spectroscopy.     

Die Cyclopropylcarbinyl-Cyclobutyl-Homoallyl-Umlagerung. I. Teil. Synthese von Tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octan-3-ol,endo- und exo-Tricyclo[3.2.1.03,6]octan-4-ol und exo-Bicyclo[3.2.1]-oct-2-en-7-ol

Tricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,7]octan-3-ol ( 1 ) and its 4-isomer 7 were obtained by hydroboration of tricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,7]oct-3-ene ( 5 ). The former alcohol 1 is quantitatively converted to the isomeric alcohol exo-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-7-ol ( 3 ) by treatment with aqueous acid. Photolysis of 1-diazo-3-(cyclopent-3-enyl)-propan-2-one ( 12c ) gave a high yield of tricyclo[3.2.1.0^3,6]octan-4-one ( 10a ). Reduction of the latter ketone produced a mixture of endo- and exo-tricyclo[3.2.1.0^3,6]octan-4-ol 2 and 9 , respectively. Oxidation of these secondary alcohols with silver carbonate in benzene furnished a mixture of the ketone 10a and the lactone 14 of 6-hydroxy-bicyclo[2.1.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid. The latter is thought to be formed by oxydation of the hydrate of the strained ketone 10a .

The mannich reaction in the synthesis of N,S-containing heterocycles 4. Aminomethylation of 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates: A convenient regioselective route to 3,5,7,11-tetraazatricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]tridec-2-ene derivatives

Treatment of N-methylmorpholinium 4-R-6-amino-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates (R = 2-ClC₆H₄ and 2-MeOC₆H₄) with primary amines in the presence of an excess of formaldehyde gave 13-R-8-thioxo-3,5,7,11-tetraazatricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridec-2-ene-1,9-dicarbonitrile derivatives in high yields (66–95%). In a similar way, aminomethylation of 3-R-10-amino-7,11-dicyano-9-aza-3-azoniaspiro[5.5]undeca-7,10-diene-8-thiolates (R = Me and Et) afforded 1′-alkyl-8-thioxospiro[3,5,7,11-tetraazatricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridec-2-ene-13,4′-piperidine]-1,9-dicarbonitriles in 43–91% yields. Alternatively, these compounds were obtained by multicomponent cyclocondensation of N-alkylpiperidin-4-ones, cyanothioacetamide, primary amines, and aqueous formaldehyde. The starting 3-R-10-amino-7,11-dicyano-9-aza-3-azoniaspiro[5.5]undeca-7,10-diene-8-thiolates were prepared by a new method from N-alkylpiperidin-4-ones and cyanothioacetamide.

It has been shown that the opening of the cyclopropane ring in (1R, 2S, 7S, 10S, 11R, 12S, 13S)-2,6,6,10,12-pentamethylpentacyclo[10.2.1.0^1,10.0^2,7.0^11,13]pentadecane takes place under the action of fluorosulfonic acid at all three carbon-carbon bonds, but at low temperatures the main isomerization product is (1R, 2S, 7S, 10S, 12S, 13S)-2,6,6,10,12-pentamethyltetracyclo[10.2.1.0^1,10.0^2,7]pentadecan-13-ol, and at the ordinary temperature the main products are (1R, 2S, 7S, 11S, 12R, 13R)-2,6,6,11,13-pentamethyltetracyclo[10.2.1.0^1,10.0^2,7]pentadeca-9-ene and (1S, 2R, 11S, 12R, 15R)-2,7,7,11,15-pentamethyltetracyclo[10.2.1.0^2,11.0^3,8]pentadeca-3(8)-ene.Institute of Chemistry, Moldavian SSR Academy of Sciences, Kishinev.

The Non-planarity of the Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene Double bond. Crystal Structures of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene,Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene,and Bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene Systems

The alkyl substituents onto the endocyclic bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond deviate from the C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), plane by 13.5°4 in 3 and by 13.9° in 6 , leaning toward the endo-face. No such out-of-plane deformations were observed with the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene derivatives 9 and 12 . The exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moieties in 3, 6 and 9 do not deviate significantly from planarity. The deviation from planarity of the double bond n bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives and planarity in bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene analogues is shown to be general by analysis of all known structures in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data File. The non-planarity of the bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond cannot be attributed only to bond-angle deformations which would favour rehybridizatoin of the olefinic C-atoms since the double bond in the more strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene drivative 16 deviates from planarity by less than 4°.

Adducts of Tricyclo[4.1.0.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]heptane hydrocarbons with methane- and Halomethanesulfonyl Thiocyanates and their transformations in the presence of bases (nucleophiles)

1-R-Tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptanes (R = H, Me, Ph) take up methane- and halomethanesulfonyl thiocyanates XCH₂SO₂SCN (X = H, Cl, Br) at the central C¹–C⁷ bond in benzene at 20°C with high anti-selectivity to give bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane derivatives with the 7-endo-oriented sulfonyl group and the thiocyanato group in the geminal position with respect to the R substituent. The syn-adducts lose HSCN molecule by the action of potassium tert-butoxide in THF at 0°C or on heating in boiling aqueous dioxane containing NaOH with formation of 1-(X-methylsulfonyl)tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptanes. Under analogous conditions the anti-adducts (X = Me) are converted into 1,2-bis(7-syn-methylsulfonyl-6-endo-R-bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-6-exo-yl)disulfanes. The anti-adduct derived from unsubstituted tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptane and MeSO₂SCN reacted with methyllithium or phenylmagnesium bromide to produce 7-anti-methyl(phenyl)sulfanyl-6-endo-methylsulfonylbicyclo-[3.1.1]heptanes which were also obtained by photochemical addition of MeSO₂SMe(or Ph) to tricyclo-[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptane. Geometric parameters of radical intermediates in the sulfonylation of 1-R-tricyclo-[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptanes were optimized ab initio using 6-31G basis set.

The π-Anisotropy of the Double Bond of a syn-11-Oxasesquinorbornene Derivative.. Stereoselectivity of the Diels–Alder additions of (2-norborneno)[c]furan. Crystal structure of 11-oxa-endo-tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]-dodec-2(7)-ene-9,10-exo-dicarboxylic anhydride

The reaction of (2-norborneno)[c]furan ( 4 ) with maleic anhydride gave 11-oxa-endo-tetracyclo[6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-9,10-exo-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 5 ) and, with methyl acetylenedicarboxylate, methyl 11-oxa-endo-tetracyclo [6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7),9-diene-9,10-dicarboxylate ( 7 ). The syn-11-oxa-sesquinorbornenes 5 and 7 could be equilibrated with their cycloaddents. They are at least 2 kcal/mol more stable than the corresponding anti-sesquinorbornenes 6 and 8 . The structure of 7 was deduced from its spectral data, by epoxidation with air or a peracid to give the exo-epoxide 13 and by catalytic hydrogenation to give 14 . The structure of 5 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A dihedral angle of 163° was measured between the C(1,2,7,8) and C(2,3,6,7) planes in 5 . This important deviation from planarity for the C(2,7) double bond is attributed to (π, ω)-repulsive interactions that make the π-electron density of 2-norbornene and 7-oxa-2-norbornene derivatives preferentially polarized toward the exo-face. This finding is discussed in relation with the relative stability of the syn- and anti- 11-oxasesquinorbornenes and with the endo-stereoselectivity of the cycloadditions of the norbornenofuran 4 .

Products and mechanism of some halogenation reactions of 1-sulfonyl-substituted tricyclo[4.1.0.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]heptanes

Reactions of 1-methylsulfonyl- and 1-phenylsulfonyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptanes with iodine, dioxane dibromide, and dichloro-λ³-iodanylbenzene (under irradiation) gave products of stereoselective syn addition of halogen at the C¹–C⁷ central bicyclobutane bond. 7-Methyl-1-phenylsulfonyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]-heptane reacted with dioxane dibromide in carbon tetrachloride to produce a mixture of 2-bromo- and 2,3-dibromo-1-methyl-exo-7-phenylsulfonylnorcaranes at a ratio of 1: 4 as a result of cleavage of the C¹–C² bicyclobutane bond. 7-Bromo- and 7-methoxycarbonyl-1-phenylsulfonyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptanes take up bromine exclusively at the C¹–C⁷ central bond with strict syn stereoselectively. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the addition and their relations with the halogen nature were interpreted with account taken of structural specificities of intermediate 6-sulfonyl-substituted 6-norpinanyl radicals determined by ab initio quantumchemical calculations using 6-31G basis set.

Difuro[3,2-c:3′,2′-e]pyridine 1 , a new tricyclic heteroaromatic, has been prepared for the first time. Bromination of 1 with molecular bromine gave 3-bromo 7 , 8-bromo 7′ and 3,8-dibromo derivative 8 ; nitration with fuming nitric acid yielded 2-nitro compound 9 , while nitration with a mixture of fuming nitric acid and sulfuric acid gave 2,7-dinitro derivative 10 ; formylation with n-butyllithium and dimethylformamide gave 2-formyl 11 , 7-formyl 11′ , and 2,7-diformyl compound 12. The N-oxide 14 of 1 afforded 4-cyano compound 15 by cyanation with trimethylsilyl cyanide, 4-chloro compound 16 by chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride, and 4-acetoxyl compound 17 by acetoxylation with acetic anhydride.
