Theoretical studies of [n]paracyclophanes and their valence isomers

Summary The valence isomerisations of benzene, [6]- and [7]paracyclophane to their Dewar benzene and prismane isomers are studied with the MNDO method using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) and the configuration interaction (C.I.) approximations. The enthalpy of the reaction Dewar benzene benzene is H° _r =–68.9 kcal/mol and the activation enthalpy is H°=27.9 kcal/mol (with C.I.). The reaction path hasC _2v symmetry.The determination of several points of the lowest potential energy surface of [6]- and [7]paracyclophanes leads to a minimum reaction path having the same topology as for the potential energy surface of the nonbridged benzene. The only difference is a quantitative change in the energy values of the aromatic isomers due to the deformation introduced by the alkyl chain. For [6]paracyclophane, the activation enthalpy is H°=24.6 kcal/mol and the activation entropy is S ⁰=0.6 cal K^–1 mol^–1 calculated with C.I.The enthalpy of the reaction prismane Dewar benzene is H° _r –32 kcal/mol and the activation enthalpy is H°19 kcal/mol. The highest molecular symmetry group common to both molecules isC _2v , whereas the symmetry group of the reaction path is lowered toC _s . Along this reaction path is located a biradicaloid intermediate, separated by low activation barriers from the products. No significant changes of the potential energy surfaces are found for the bridged [n]prismanes and the [n]Dewar benzenes.All the calculated values, reaction enthalpies, activation enthalpies and entropies, are in a good agreement with literature experimental data.This article is dedicated to Professor A.

Di-isophorone and related compounds. Part 9 1-(substituted)aminodi-isophoranes and their cyclodehydration products

The interaction of 1-chlorodi-isophor-2(7)-en-3-one (or its 5,11-bisnorhomologue) with aromatic, heteroaromatic, or saturated heterocyclic amines produces 1-(substituted)aminodi-isophor-2(7)-3n-3-ones by nucleophilic replacement of the bridgehead halogen. Subsequent cyclodehydration affords, in certain examples, substituted 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H,9h-5,8a-methanocycloocta[gh]phenanthridines (2,3-dehydro-1-anilinodi-isophor-2,7-dien-3-ols).

Heterocyclensynthesen mit 5-Phenyl-isoxazoliumsalzen, 3. Mitt.: Synthese von Pyrrolo[1,2-a]chinazolin-5-onen

Refluxing of ethanol-acetic acid solutions of N-aroyl-N-methyl-benzoylacetamides3 causes elimination of acetophenone and generation of N(1)-substituted N(3)-methyl-1H,3H-quinazoline-2,4-diones5. In contrast, at room temperature in acetanhydride3 eliminate water yielding 2-benzoylmethylene-quinazolinones4, which at 60 °C cyclize to pyrrolo[1,2-a] quinazolin-5-ones6. The transformation4 6 may be explained in terms of a normalKnorr reaction. A anomalousKnorr reaction was observed in the case of the more rigid4 d leading to a mixture of diasteromere7 d cis and7 d trans in kinetically controlled reaction. Favoured by intramolecular hydrogen bonding7 d cis converts to the thermodynamically more stable6 d by warming of the ethanolic solution for 3 hours.

Condensation of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester and decarboxylation of the reaction products obtained

-(1-Ethoxyvinyl)- and -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactones were obtained by the reaction of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester. Decarboxylation of the -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl-butyrolactones in DMSO leads to -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--butyrolactones, the hydrolysis of which gives -acetyl-butyrolactones. Ethyl trans-3-acetyl-3-pentenoate was obtained by decarboxylation of -methyl--(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactone in DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 22–25, January, 1992.     

Kinetics of oxidation of glycine and valine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glycine and valine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium has been studied. The rate of disappearance of chloramine-T shows a first order dependence on both chloramine-T and the amino acid, and an inverse first order with respect to [H⁺]. The solvent isotope effect was studied using heavy water. The kinetic parameters,E _a ,Arrhenius factorA, H and S and G have been calculated. A rate law in agreement with experimental results has been derived. A mechanism is proposed.

syn,Anti isomerization of 5,5′-Bis-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene

syn-5,5-Bis-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene (2syn), an overcrowded bistricyclic aromatic ene with central seven-membered rings, undergoes a thermal isomerization to the anti stereoisomer (2anti) at elevated temperatures, with G _inv (174°C)=36.4 kcal/mole. The high-energy barrier for syn anti isomerization of2 is compared with the corresponding inversion barrier of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene derivatives and interpreted in terms of a lower degree of overcrowding in2 relative to bistricyclic enes (1) with central five- and six-membered rings. The overcrowding features of2syn,2anti, and theiranti-10,11,10,11-tetrahydro derivative (3) is analyzed, and a mechanism for the syn anti isomerization of 2 is proposed.     

Synthesen von Aminomethylen-γ-halogenacetessigsäurederivaten und deren Ringschlußreaktionen zu 3-Hydroxypyrrolen,Pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidonen bzw. 4-Chinolonen β,β-Diacyl-enamine und-enole, 5. Mitt.

Condensation of alkyl -haloacetoacetates (or -chloroacetoacetanilide) with triethoxymethane and primary (hetero)aromatic amines gives in a one step synthesis under mild conditions new ,-diacyl-enamines (2 a-m, 3 a-d). In contrast, the N-alkylsubstituted derivatives could be synthesized only in a two step procedurevia the enolethers6 a, b. According to their ir-specra, most of the aminomethylene--haloacetoacetic acid derivatives are stereochemically fixed either in theE- orZ-form. The pmr-spectra, however, show that they exist as mixtures of at least two isomers in solution.With KOH or sodium acetate, a ring closure to 3-hydroxy-pyrroles (8, 9) could be achieved whereas with pyridine only quarternary pyridinium salts (11) are formed. Acidic (orLewis acidic) condensing agents leave the chloroacetyl group unaffected and give either free carboxylic acids (2 p-r) pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidones (12) or 4-quinolones (13), depending on the type of the molecule and the reaction temperatures employed.

Preparation and stereochemical characterization of some N-acyl-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole derivatives from rotenoids

Summary Several new N-acyl derivatives of 1-(4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-7,8-di methoxy-1,9 b,2,3,3 a,4-hexahydro-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole-1-ene have been prepared by appropriate chemical transformation of isohydrazones of rotenone and amorphigenin. A study of their¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectra confirmed the presence of the twocis 3a, 9b, 2 and 3a, 9b, 2 diastereomers in the parent isohydrazones and revealed the strong predominance of the conformers withendo orientation of the 3-NAc group. The conformations due to rotation about the 1,5-bond between rings C and D in the 4-OH and 4-O-substituted compounds were also determined by taking into account the anisotropic effect of aromatic rings A and D, and the hydrogen bond between 4-OH and the 2-N atom, as well as by inspecting the Dreiding models.

Thus, the reaction of 6-hydroxy-pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (1 a–c) with bis-2,4,6-trichlorphenyl malonates (2 a–d) or diethyl malonates (3 a–d) afforded good yields of 4-hydroxy-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,5(6H)-diones (4 a-l). Application of our modifiedPechmann reaction^9–11 using -aminocrotonate (5) or -keto esters (6, 7) in the presence of ammonium acetate yielded the 2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinediones8 a–h.Dedicated to Prof. Dr.Karl Schlögl, University of Vienna, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
