Reactions of p-Nitrophenyloxirane with Amines Containing Fragments with Bicyclic Skeleton

Reactions of p-nitrophenyloxirane with amines containing fragments with bicyclic skeleton of norbornene, norbornane, epoxynorbornane (stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, endo-5-(2-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, stereoisomeric exo- and endo-2-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, exo-5-aminomethyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) were investigated. The aminolysis of p-nitrophenyloxirane occurred regioselectively according to Krasusky rule as was proved by ¹H and ¹³C NMR data. As shown by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy the oxyalkylation product obtained from N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene was composed of two diastereomers originating from the presence of a chiral nitrogen atom in the rear part of the rigid bicyclic skeleton. New products of amino groups transformation in the molecules of hydroxyamines were obtained by reaction with p-methylbenzoyl chloride and p-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride. Regioselectivity of the attack of electrophilic reagents on the nitrogen in the hydroxyamines was confirmed by IR and ¹H NMR spectra of the products. The data on pharmacological activity tests of N-2-hydroxyethyl(p-nitrophenyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene are reported.     

Derivatives of exo-5-Aminomethyl-endo-5-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and exo-5-Aminomethyl-endo-5-methyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane

exo-5-Aminomethyl-endo-5-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and its 2,3-epoxy derivative were synthesized, and their geometric parameters and conformational properties, in particular the barriers to rotation of the aminomethyl fragment about the exocyclic C⁵ÄC bond, were studied by the molecular-mechanics method (MMX) and compared with those found for structurally related exo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene. The title compounds were brought into reactions with electrophilic reagents: arenesulfonyl chlorides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates.     

Synthesis and Epoxidation of 5-(2-Aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene Derivatives

A number of derivatives of 5-(2-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (85-90% of the endo isomer) were synthesized by reactions with p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, p-nitrobenzoyl chloride, benzyl isocyanate, m-tolyl isocyanate, phenyl isothiocyanate, and endic anhydride. By reactions of the resulting sulfon- and carboxamides with peroxyphthalic acid generated in situ from phthalic anhydride and 40-45% hydrogen peroxide the corresponding epoxy derivatives were obtained. These reactions were not accompanied by heterocyclization into azabrendane derivatives, which is typical of homologous N-(p-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene.     

New N-(Arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. Synthesis, 1H and 13C NMR Spectra,and Chemical Reactions

A synthesis of new N-(arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes obtained by reaction of stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes with arylsulfonyl chlorides is described. With the use of the data of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, including those of two-dimensional spectra recorded in COSY and NOESY mode, the contribution of stereochemical features of sulfonamides into the spectra structure of endo- and exo-isomers was evaluated. Applying various methods of the phase-transfer catalysis alkylation and acylation of the stereoisomeric arylsulfonamides containing a norbornene fragment was carried out. The reactions of alkylated stereoisomeric sulfonamides, N-(benzyl)-N-(3,4-dichlorophenylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, with peroxyphthalic acid provide epoxides; the orientation of substituents in the cage norbornene fragment does not affect the direction of the process. The structure of the products obtained by sulfonamides transformations was confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra.     

Synthesis and Some Reactions of New N-[Aryl(Benzyl,Cyclohexyl, Propyl)sulfonyl]-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-enes

A synthesis was accomplished of 4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene by aminolysis of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo,endo-5,6-dicarboxylic acid anhydride followed by transformation of amidoacid into imide that was subsequently reduced by lithium aluminum hydride. The reaction of the key tricyclic amine with sulfonyl chlorides afforded N-[aryl(benzyl, cyclohexyl, propyl)sulfonyl]-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-enes.The sulfonamides were subjected to epoxidation with perphthalic acid. By reaction of sulfonamides with p-nitrophenyl azide triazolines were obtained. The structure of compounds synthesized was confirmed by IR, ^1Hand ¹³ NMR spectra.     

Azabrendanes IV. Synthesis and characterization of N-(alkyl- and benzylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.0]nonanes

exo- and endo-5-Aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes have been obtained from stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes and the corresponding sulfonamides were obtained through reaction of amines with methyl-, n-propyl-, n-butyl-, benzyl-, and cyclohexylsulfonyl chlorides. From the stereoisomeric sulfonamides with peroxy acids, various products were obtained: exo-sulfonamides were transformed into epoxy derivatives, and, in contrast, most of the endo-stereoisomers underwent heterocyclization resulting in substituted exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonanes. The type of the products obtained did not depend on the type of peroxy acid used (peroxyacetic, peroxyphthalic, and m-chloroperoxybenzoic one). In contrast to other endo-sulfonamides, N-(cyclohexylsulfonyl)-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene in reaction with peroxyacetic acid did not undergo heterocyclization, probably, due to steric factors. The structure and stereochemical homogeneity of the sulfonamides and the structure of the products of their oxidation with peroxy acids were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. The molecular structure of N-(cyclohexylsulfonyl)-endo-5-aminomethyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The mechanism of the intramolecular heterocyclization reaction of N-substituted endo-5-aminomethyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes was studied at the BHandHLYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.

Reactions of Bi-, Tri-, and tetracyclic amines with succinic anhydride

Succinic anhydride reacted with cage-like amines {bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-exo-and-endo-2-yl-methanamines, 2-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-endo-2-yl)ethanamine, exo-5,6-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-exo-2-yl-methanamine, tetracyclo[6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodec-9-en-endo-4-ylmethanamine, 1-(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl)ethanamine, and 4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]dec-8-ene} to give the corresponding amido acids having a cage-like fragment. The latter were converted into carboximides by the action of hexamethyldisilazane in boiling benzene in the presence of zinc(II) chloride and then into epoxy derivatives. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Derivatives of endo-4-Aminomethyltetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-9-ene

Synthesis was performed and structure studied of endo-4-cyanotetracyclo[6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodec-9-ene prepared by reaction of a stereochemically uniform endo-5-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene with cyclopentadiene. By analysis of potential energy surface (PES) for reactions of endo-5-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and the respective exo-stereoisomer with cyclopentadiene (in B3LYP/6-31G(d) approximation) the endo,exo-junction and anti-orientation of the methylene bridges in the bicyclic fragments of the adducts were shown to be preferable. Reduction of the tetracyclic nitrile with lithium aluminum hydride yielded endo-4-aminomethyltetracyclo-[6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodec-9-ene whose geometry and conformational characteristics were studied by means of molecular mechanics method. Products were obtained from reactions of the tetracyclic amine with p-toluene-, p-chloro-benzene-, p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chlorides, p-nitrobenzoyl chloride, succinic anhydride, mesityl and p-toluene-sulfonyl isocyanates, phenyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, and benzoyl isothiocyanates, p-nitrophenyloxirane, and N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)carbazole. A series of the amine derivatives was epoxidized with perphtahlic acid. The structure of compounds synthesized was confirmed by analysis of their IR spectra, ¹H, ¹³C, and two-dimensional NMR spectra, and additionally by calculation of the chemical shifts in ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra by procedures GIAO and CSGT in PBE1PBE/6-31G^## approximation.     

Zur Bildung polycyclischer Ketone bei der Umsetzung von 5, 6-Dimethyliden-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-en mit Dieisen-enneacarbonyl

On the Formation of Polycyclic Ketones in the Reaction of 5, 6-Dimethylidene-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene with Diiron-enneacarbonyl 5,6-Dimethylidene-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (4) , in the presence of diiron-ennea-carbonyl in boiling hexane, produces the endo-and exo-tricarbonyl-iron complex of 4 (endo- and exo- 5 ). A mixture of numerous tricarbonyl-iron complexes with ligands derived from coupling and carbonylation reactions of 4 are also formed. The endo- and exo- 5 compounds as well as two tricarbonyl-iron complexes ( 7 and 8 ) of penta-cyclic ketones could be isolated and characterized. After oxidative removal of the tricarbonyl-iron groups in the reaction mixture the three pentacyclic ketones 9 , 10 and 11 were separated. Structure and configuration of these ketones were deduced from spectroscopic analyses, especially from their ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. spectra (see tables 1–4). Whereas the symmetric pentacyclic ketone 11 is of a known type (cf. [1]) the two spiroketone 9 and 10 represent compounds of a new type. Their structure and configuration shows that in ironcarbonyl induced thermal cyclopentanone formations, an exocyclic double bond can also take part.     

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 crystal structures of (1R,4R,5S,8S)-9,10-dimethylidentricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undec2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 3 ), (1R,4R,5S,8S)11-isopropylidene-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.1.m^2,7]undec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 6 ), (1R,4R,5S8S)-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 9 ), (1R4R5S8S)-TRICYCLO[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7), 9-diene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 12 ) and (4R,5S)-tricyclo[6.1.1.0^2.7]dec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ( 16 ) were established by X-ray diffraction. 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°.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Transformations of New Endic Anhydride Derivatives

4-Azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene and its N-phenyl derivative were synthesized by reaction of endic anhydride with amines, transformation of the amido acids thus obtained to imides, and subsequent reduction of the latter with lithium aluminum hydride. The unsubstituted tricyclic amine was brought into reactions with electrophilic reagents: p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, p-toluoyl chloride, m-tolyl isocyanate, phenyl isothiocyanate, and endic anhydride to obtain a number of new derivatives; also, the corresponding salt with 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid was isolated. N-(p-Tolylsulfonyl)- and N-(m-tolylcarbamoyl)-4-azatricyclo-[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-enes were oxidized to the corresponding 8,9-epoxy derivatives with monoperoxyphthalic acid. The structure of the products was confirmed by the data of IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. The molecular structures of N-(p-iodophenyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo-5,endo-6-dicarboximide and N-phenyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene were established by X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of methanethial s-oxide (sulfine) and alkanethial s,s-dioxides by fluorodesilylation. Stereochemistry of their cyclopentadiene diels-alder adducts

Fluorodesilylation of trimethylsilylmethanesulfinyl chloride 4 in the presence of cyclopentadiene gives 2-thiabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene endo-2-oxide,5; in a like manner 1-trimethylsilylalkanesulfonic anhydrides afford endo- and exo-3-alkyl-2-thiabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene 2,2-dioxides, with the endo isomer predominating. Sulfine and alkyl sulfenes are invoked.

A norbornene-containing ortho-quinone, 5-{5-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enyl)hydroxymethyl)-3,6-ditert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, was synthesized by the nucleophilic addition of 5-(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1] hept-2-ene to 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone. The structure of the compound was established by the X-ray analysis. The monomer obtained undergoes metathesis polymerization in the presence of Grubbs catalyst of the third generation with the formation of polynorbornene containing quinone fragments in the side chains.     

Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangement of 3-Aza-8-oxatricyclo[3.2.1. 02,4]octan-6-one Acetals. Highly Stereoselective Total Synthesis of 3-Amino-3-deoxy-D-altrose and Derivatives

Ethyl and tert-butyl azidoformate added to 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one dimethyl ( 5 ) and dibenzyl ( 6 ) acetals to give mixtures of regioisomeric triazolines. The latter gave the corresponding aziridines (6,6-dialkoxy-3-aza-8-oxatricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,4]octane-3-carboxylates 15 , 19 , 23 , and 27 and 31 ) on UV irradiation. In the presence of protic acids, the aziridines were rearranged into protected amines ([3-endo-alkoxy-5-oxo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-exo-yl]carbamates 16 , 20 , 24 , and 28 and 33 ). Using (+)-(1R, 4R)-5,5-bis(benzyloxy)7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene((+)- 6 ) derived from furan and l-cyanovinyl (1S)-camphanate, the method was applied to prepare 2-O-benzyl-3-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyiamino]-5-O-(3-chlorobenzoyl)-3-deoxy-β-D -altrofuranurono-6,1-lactone ((?)- 37 ). This compound was converted to methyl 3-amino-3-deoxy-α-D-altropyranoside hydrochloride ( 44 ) and several derivatives.     

Bis(trifluoromethyl)-containing 1-azatricycloheptanes

6-Substituted 7-halo-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes were synthesized by the addition of water, alcohols, and acetic acid to 3-halo-7,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptanes in the presence of H₂SO₄. 5,6-Disubstituted 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes were prepared by oxymercuration of 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene.     

Radical deoxygenation of 3-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0]heptan-5-ols to 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes and 1,2-dihydropyridines

Additions of alkyl or aryl Grignard reagents, or pyridin-3-yl-lithiums or lithium alkoxides, to exo-5,6-epoxy-7-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-tosyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene lead to 7-substituted-1-tosyl-3-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptan-5-ols. Radical deoxygenations of 7-alkyl-1-tosyl-3-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptan-5-ols give 7-alkyl-4-tosyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes, whereas 7-aryl-1-tosyl-3-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptan-5-ols give 2-(arylmethyl)-5-tosyl-1,2-dihydropyridines.     

1H-NMR Spectra of Cyclohexa-1,4-dienes and Cyclohexenes Annellated to Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. The Inter-Ring Homoallylic H,H Coupling Constants as Stereochemical Probes

The 360-MHz-¹H-NMR spectra of cyclohexa-1,4-dienes and cyclohexenes annellated to bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes and 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes show inter-ring homoallylic coupling constants between the bridgehead protons of the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes and the exo-protons of the allylic methylene groups (0.8 ± 0.15 Hz for bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes; 0.8–1.4 Hz for 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes). Contrastingly, the corresponding coupling between the bridgehead protons and the endo-protons is absent. The observed values are compared with those calculated by the INDO and CNDO/2 methods and discussed in the light of the bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene bond π-anisotropy. Vicinal as well as intra-ring homoallylic coupling constants are consistent with a small puckering of the cyclohexa-1,4-diene rings toward the endo-face. The allylic exo-methylene protons are more deshielded than the endo-protons independent of the nature of the substituents, the nature of the bridges, and the degree of unsaturation of the annellated systems. These results constitute a probe for the configuration of cyclohexa-1,4-dienes and cyclohexenes annellated to these bicyclic skeletons.     

Acid-catalyzed aza-Diels-Alder versus 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of methyl glyoxylate oxime with cyclopentadiene

The acid-catalyzed 1,4- and 1,3-cycloadditions between methyl glyoxylate oxime (1) and cyclopentadiene were investigated using various Lewis and/or Bronsted acids at different temperatures in dichloromethane as solvent. Besides the expected new adducts, (±)-methyl [(3-exo)-2-hydroxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene]-3-carboxylate (2) and (±)-methyl [(3-endo)-2-hydroxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene]-3-carboxylate (3), a third adduct, (±)-methyl (1R,4R,5R)-(2-oxa-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-ene)-4-carboxylate (4), whose formation can be explained by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, was obtained. Yields and product ratios were found to be more dependent on the catalyst than on the temperature; these results and the stereochemistry of the adducts, confirmed by spectroscopic data (¹H and ¹³C NMR) and by X-ray crystallography, were used to analyze and propose a mechanistic explanation for both cycloadditions.     

Reaction of Endic Anhydride with Hydrazines and Acylhydrazines

Reaction products of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo,endo-5,6-dicarboxylic (endic) acid with hydrazines and acylhydrazines were prepared. The features distinguishing of these reactions from those with amines were revealed. The compounds obtained were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, and IR spectra. The assignment of the signals in NMR spectra was done with the use of quantum-chemical calculations of chemical shifts performed by the density functional method. The structure of one among compounds synthesized, N-(m-hydroxybenzoylamino)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo,endo-5,6-dicarboxamide, was proved by X-ray diffraction analysis.
