Grignard reagent-mediated conversion of an acyl nitroso-anthracene cycloadduct to a nitrone

An intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadduct of an acyl nitroso compound and a 9,10-dimethyl anthracene derivative was prepared as a potential nitroxyl (HNO) donor. This compound did not release HNO under any of the conditions tested. Treatment of this cycloadduct with excess MeMgCl resulted in the formation of a nitrone, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A mechanism where MeMgCl acts as a nucleophile, strong base, and Lewis acid possibly explains the formation of this product.     

Conversion of a nitrosocarbonyl hetero Diels-Alder cycloadduct to useful isoxazoline-carbocyclic aminols

A new approach to useful precursors for the synthesis of isoxazoline-carbocyclic nucleosides is detailed, starting from the readily available N-benzoyl-2,3-oxazanorborn-5-ene and introducing more polar and hydrophilic functionalities through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of carbethoxyformonitrile oxide, generated either from the corresponding hydroximoyl chloride or, more conveniently, by catalyzed condensation with ethyl nitroacetate.     

一个异常的反应-顺式的二氟芪与二氟卡宾反应生成反式的环加成物

在光敏剂(丁二酮,0.05mol.dm^-^3)存在下,75%的反式1,2-二氟芪通过光化学异构化转化成顺式1,2-二氟芪,由Seyferth试剂(PhHgCF3)产生的二氟卡宾(CF2)与顺式和反式芪的反应是立体专一性环加成反应,遵循Skell规则.然而,尽管CF2与反式1,2-二氟芪反应得到反式1,2-二苯基全氟环丙烷(9),顺式1,2-二氟芪与二氟卡宾反应仍然得到相同的反式环加成物,这一异常现象,可能是由于高度活化的三元环中CF2对面的C-C键均裂而产生的.     

Synthesis of tetrahydrofluorenes from the cycloadduct of 3-ethynyl-5-bromo-2-pyrone via cyclocarbopalladation reactions

Cycloadduct from 3-ethynyl-5-bromo-2-pyrone undergoes facile cyclocarbopalladation reactions to provide an array of polycarbocyclic compounds with a complete control of the olefin geometry. Both organotin and boron reagents can be used as a trapping anion source. Treatment of the resulting tetracycles with NaOMe gave rise to various tetrahydrofluorenes in good to excellent isolated yields.     

Structure of the photoproduct from the cycloadduct of 2,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxy-1-indanone and dibenzoylacetylene

A single crystal x-ray analysis of the photoproduct, from the cycloadduct (1) of 2,3-dipheny1–2,3-epoxy-1-indanone and dibenzoylacetylene, has shown that its structure is 3,3a-dibenzoyl-3a,8b-dihydro-2, 8b-diphenylindeno[l,2-b]furan-4-one (8a) and not the earlier reported benzoxocinone structure (3a). Reasonable pathways for the formation of 8a and analogous products are presented. Contribution No. NDRL-3312 and No. RRLT-PRU-10 from the Regional Research Laboratory, Trivandrum.     

Structure of the crystalline C60 photopolymer and the isolation of its cycloadduct components

We produced C60 photopolymer in gram quantity by a new monomer recycling method and extracted its soluble components. The most abundant components, the (2 + 2) cycloadduct dimer, C120, and several oligomers were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Three different C180 isomers were identified on the basis of their formation and decomposition reactions. The crystal structure of the insoluble photopolymer is face-centered cubic (fcc) with a contracted lattice parameter relative to the pristine C60. The lattice parameter and the amounts of soluble oligomers depend on the preparation temperature. We explain this variation with a topochemical model of photopolymerization: The geometrical conditions allow the formation of only linear or planar oligomers in the triangular or square sublattices. Competing reactions in the intersecting planes prevent the formation of large oligomers. The lattice contraction is proportional to the number of cycloadduct bonds.     

The crystal and molecular structure of the cycloadduct from an activated carbodiimide and methyl isothiocyanate

The crystal and molecular structures of the cycloadduct from isopropyl[α-(dimethylthio-carbamoyl)isopropyl]carbodiimide and methyl isothiocyanate were determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. The product was established to be 2-(1-isopropyl-3,5-dimethyl-4,6-dithioxo-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-2-ylidenamino)-N,N-dimethylthioisoburyramide, in which contrary to expectations based on hybridisation the heterocyclic ring adopts a boat conformation.     

Cycloaddition reactions. A new type of cycloadduct from a substituted 2-vinylthiophen and dmad

Cycloaddition reactions between 2-(1-cyanoallyl)thiophen and the dienophiles diethyl azodicarboxylate, N-phenylmaleimide , methyl propiolate, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate are reported. Products include simple benzo[b] thiophen carboxylates (13,19) and reduced derivatives (8,9,10,12,18), as a mixture of diastereoisomers, except in the adduct with diethyl azodicarboxylate. With dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate a new type of tricyclic compound was also found (20).     

The cycloaddition of diethyl chlorophosphite with norbornadiene: Synthesis and crystal structure of the cycloadduct.

In the presence of Lewis acids, diethyl phosphorochloridite reacts with norbornadiene to afford the tetracyclic phosphinate ester 3 . The reaction is believed to involve formation of phosphenium ions stabilized only by alkoxy substituents. The cycloadduct of the reaction was characterized by its spectral data, by single crystal diffraction analysis of the parent acid, and ³¹P and ²⁷Al nmr experiments.     

Novel [4+6]π cycloadduct from frontier-controlled pericyclic reaction of 2,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone with cyclooctatetraene

Treatment of 2,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone with an excess of cyclooctatetraene gives the novel exo[4+6]π cycloadduct together with the endo[2+4]π and bis-Diels-Alder cycloadducts. The CNDO/2 MO calculation indicates that HOMO(COT)-LUMO(cyclopentadienone) interaction will be more important than the other.     

Concerted cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to α-pinene stepwise rearrangement of the β-lactam cycloadduct to a γ-lactam

Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate adds to α-pinene in concerted fashion to give the unrearranged N-chlorosulfonyl-β-lactam 2 (75%). Thermolysis of cycloadduct 2 affords the rearranged N-chlorosulfonyl-γ-lactam 6 (60%) via a sequence of transient carbonium ions (45). Reductive hydrolysis of 2 and 6 gave, respectively, the NH-β-lactam 3 (70%) and the NH-γ-lactam 7 (70%). Proof of structure of the rearranged γ-lactams 6 and 7 are provided, respectively, by X-ray crystallographic analysis and the application of the Eu(dpm)₃ NMR shift reagent.     

Thermal and microwave assisted reactions of 2,5-disubstituted thienosultines with [60]fullerene: non-Kekulé biradicals and self-sensitized oxygenation of the cycloadduct

Refluxing an o-dichlorobenzene solution of 2,5-disubstituted thienosultines 10a-f with [60]fullerene for 2-24 h gave both 1:1 and 2:1 cycloadducts in 37-79% isolated yields. The reaction was highly accelerated by microwave irradiation giving comparable yields of cycloadducts. Sultines 10a-f underwent cheletropic extrusion of SO₂ to form the corresponding non-Kekulé biradical intermediates 11a-f, which were subsequently trapped by [60]fullerene to form corresponding cycloadducts. The activation energy barriers (ΔG_c^≠) determined for the boat-to-boat inversion of these 4′,5′,6′,7′-tetrahydrobenzo[c]thieno-[5′,6′:1,2][60]fullerene adducts 12a-f were found to be in the range of 13.5-14.8 kcal/mol. Unexpectedly, one of the monoadduct 12a was found to be labile when kept in air under ambient light. Two new products 15 (a sulfine-enone) and 16 (an endione) were isolated from the decomposed 12a and were found to derive from self-sensitized singlet oxygen reaction on the 2,5-dimethylthieno moiety of 12a.     

A novel 2:1 cycloadduct of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 3,5-diphenyl-4-methoximino-4H-pyrazole 1,2-dioxide

Two equivalents of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate react with 3,5-diphenyl-4-methoximino-4H-pyrazole 1,2-dioxide in acetonitrile under reflux. The major product was shown by X-ray analysis to be a 5,8-epoxyisoxazolo[2,3-d]-[1,4]-diazepine derivative.     

Cycloaddition behavior of 3,4-diazacyclopentadienone dioxides toward bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene derivatives. X-ray analysis of the cycloadduct and reaction pathway

The cycloaddition behavior of 2,5-disubstituted 3,4-diazacyclopentadienone dioxide 1a-c toward epoxy-naphthalene ( 2a ) and norbornadiene ( 2b ) was investigated. The structures of the products were determined on the basis of the ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectral data and the X-ray analysis data. The stereospecific formation of the endo-exo 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts from 2a indicates that the cycloadduct resulted from the direct 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The cycloaddition behavior of 1 toward 2 is discussed on the basis of the PM3-calculated transition-state structures.     

Why can the activation volume of the cycloadduct decomposition in isopolar retro‐Diels–Alder reactions be negative?

Rate constants of the Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction of anthracene with tetracyanoethylene, enthalpy of solution of reactants and adduct, enthalpy of the reaction in solution, enthalpy and entropy of activation of the forward and retro‐Diels–Alder reactions were determined in 14 solvents. Temperature and pressure effects on the rate of the decomposition of the adduct formed from 9‐chloroanthracene and tetracyanoethylene were studied. Since the electrostriction effect can be excluded from the consideration of the isopolar Diels–Alder reaction, negative values of the activation volume in the retro‐Diels–Alder reactions can be caused by the different possibilities of penetration of the solvent molecules to large steric branched structures of the transition states and adducts. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

concise synthesis of 4-acylamino analogues of 2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acids (LY354740) from an acylnitroso Diels-Alder cycloadduct

Concise total syntheses of 4-acylamino analogues of LY354740 were accomplished employing an N-Boc acylnitroso Diels-Alder cycloadduct as the starting material. The syntheses involved N-O bond cleavage, oxidation, intermolecular cyclopropanation, Bucherer-Bergs reaction, hydrolysis, and regioselective acylation with a temporary copper chelate. The synthesis of an optically active compound was also achieved.
