Synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles by a sequential aza-Wittig/Michael/isomerization reaction

Carbodiimides 4, obtained from aza-Wittig reactions of iminophosphorane 3 with aryl isocyanates, reacted with secondary amines in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium alkoxide to give 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles 7 in good yields. However, 4-acylimidazoles 11 were obtained, as phenols were used in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium carbonate due to further air oxidation of the expected products 10.     

Chiral guanidine catalyzed Michael addition reaction and Diels-Alder reaction of anthrone and N-methylmaleimide

Two chiral guanidines were evaluated as catalysts for the reaction of anthrone (1) with N-methylmaleimide (2). When guanidine 5 was used, the Michael adduct 4 was isolated as a major product. The best enantioselectivity (70% ee) was obtained when the reaction was carried out in THF at - 20℃.     

Synthesis of readily recyclable biobased plastics by Diels-Alder reaction

Readily recyclable biobased plastics were designed and synthesized utilizing the thermally reversible DA reaction. Furyl-telechelic poly(butylene succinate) prepolymers (PBSF(2)) were extended with bis- and tris-maleimide linkers (M(2) and M(3)) by the DA reaction in the bulk state to produce linear and network polymers, respectively. The DA reaction was able to proceed at 25-80 degrees C, at which crystalline domains of PBSF(2) were present. In the linear polymer system, the molecular weight in the reaction equilibrium was dependent on the chain length of the prepolymer, but almost independent of the reaction temperature. The cycle of DA and retro-DA reactions was repeatable with no prepolymer deterioration.

Sapphyrins participate in Diels-Alder reactions with pentacene affording novel barrelene-fused sapphyrins.

The experiments carried out under microwave irradiation proved cleaner, affording only the monoadduct and in higher yields.     

Asymmetric sequential Michael reaction: Synthesis of optically active bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives

The sequential Michael reaction of (S)-4,5-di-O-isopropylidenepent-2- enoate and with lithium enolate afforded diastereo- and enantioselectively bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and (or ), respectively. The adducts were efficiently converted into both enantiomeric keto aldehydes (−)- and (+)- .     

Synthesis of benzo-ortho-thiazines S-oxides by Diels-Alder reaction of N-sulfinylanilines with norbornadiene

From substituted N-sulfinylanilines acting as dienes in the Diels-Alder reaction with norbornadiene S-oxides of benzo-ortho-thiazines were obtained, which were oxidized into the corresponding S,S-dioxides belonging to the class of hybrid thiazinesulfonamide compounds.     

Synthesis, properties, and molecular structure of nitro-substituted N-methyl-N-nitroanilines

Ten mono-, di-, and trinitro derivatives of N-methyl-N-nitroaniline were synthesized and studied by spectral, electrooptical, and quantum-chemical methods. Three of these derivatives, N-methyl-N,2,3-trinitroaniline, N-methyl-N,2,5-trinitroaniline, N-methyl-N,3,5-trinitroaniline, were also examined by the X-ray diffraction method. The N-nitroamino group in their molecules is almost planar, the N⁷-N⁸ bond is shortened, and the N⁸ atom is characterized by a strong deficit of electron density. The dihedral angle between the planes of the N-nitroamino group and the benzene ring is 56°–92°, which makes conjugation between these fragments impossible. The N-nitroamino group in the examined compounds acts as a weak electron donor with respect to the nitro groups in the aromatic ring; the mechanism of this effect is inductive.     

A direct route to 6,6'-disubstituted-2,2'-bipyridines by double Diels-Alder/retro Diels-Alder reaction of 5,5'-bi-1,2,4-triazines

Synthesis and fluorination of nitro-substituted thionocarbonates

Thiocarbonylchloride reacts with -nitroalcohols yielding symmetrical thionocarbonates. Transesterification of bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)thioncarbonate affords alkyl 2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethylthionocarbonates.

Regiochemical switching in Diels-Alder cycloadditions by change in oxidation state of removable diene sulfur substituents. Synthesis of carbazoles by sequential heteroannulation and Diels-Alder cycloaddition

The palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of N-carbobenzyloxy-o-iodoanilines with 1-phenylthio-1,3-butadiene afforded indolines 7, which were oxidized with DDQ to produce vinylogous 2-(phenylthio)indoles 8. The latter compounds underwent highly regioselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions with methyl propiolate in the presence of MeAlCl(2) or AlCl(3), with simultaneous elimination of benzenethiol, to afford methyl N-(carbobenzyloxy)carbazole-3-carboxylates 9 and, in some cases, the N-deprotected derivatives 11. This is the opposite regiochemistry of that observed previously with the corresponding sulfone analogues of 8. Thus, the regiochemistry of the cycloaddition can be effectively controlled by appropriate choice of oxidation state of the diene sulfur substituent.
