Unusual reactivity of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivatives during the ozonolysis. Part 2

The ozonation of four bornene derivatives, prepared from (R)-(+)-pulegone, which possess a particularly hindered double bond, led to the formation of unexpected products depending on the nature of the solvent. The formation of the corresponding epoxides, ketones with the same skeleton, various lactones and even an allyl alcohol and an allyl chloride (allylic functionalisation) was observed. In two cases, products presenting a pulegone modified skeleton resulting from a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement were obtained. The structure of three products was confirmed by crystallographic X-ray analysis. Mechanisms taking into account the rigid and congested structure of the reactants explain these results. The most striking steps were backed up by theoretical calculations.     

Unusual reactivity of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivatives during the ozonolysis

This paper describes mechanistic studies on the ozonolysis of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivatives 6 and 7 obtained from (R)-(+)-pulegone through the cyclopentadiene 5 and its Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride. The ozonolysis of the tricyclic diol 7 led to the ketone 8 with the same skeleton while the anhydride 6 gave rise to the epoxide 10 and the bis-lactone 11. The structure of 8, 10 and 11 are confirmed by X-ray analysis. These unexpected results are discussed in terms of a π complex between ozone and the double bond.     

Reaction of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes with nitrile oxides

The reaction of 2-azanorbornene derivatives with nitrile oxides (generated in situ by dehydrohalogenation of N-hydroxyimoyl halides) affords two regioisomers with the exo-arrangement of the isoxazoline ring.     

Double bond isomerization of 5-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene to 5-ethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene over alkaline earth oxides

All the alkaline earth oxides exhibit activities for double, bond isomerization of 5-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (VBH) to 5-ethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (EBH) at a reaction temperature of 273 K. The order of the activity on the basis of unit weight of catalyst was CaO>MgO>SrO>BaO when compared under optimum pretreatment conditions. The E/Z ratio in the products is determined by the reaction temperature regardless of the type of catalyst; the ratios were 82/18 and 88/12 for the reaction temperatures of 323 and 273 K, respectively.     

TRITHIA-DIPHOSPHABIYCLO[2.2.1]HEPTANE

Abstract

3,6-Dialkyl-2,5-Dithioxo-1,4,2λ⁵,5λ⁵-dithiadiphosphorinan-2,5-disulfides (1) react with PSCI₃, to give 3,6-Dialkyl(diaryl)-1,4-dithioxo-2,5,7-trithia-lλ⁵,4λ⁵ diphosphabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (2). The reaction mechanism of their formation. and the stereochemistry are discussed. By reduction of 2 with (n-C₄H₉)₃P or (C₆H₅),P 3,6-Dialkyl-2,5,7-trithia-1λ³,4λ³-diphosphabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (3) are formed. 2c reacts with one mole of (C₆H₅)₃P to give 3,6-Diethyl-l-thioxo-2,5,7-trithia-lλ⁵,4λ³- diphosphabicyclo(2.2.1]heptane, 4c.

A Diels-Alder approach to trans-trisbicyclo[2.2.1]heptabenzene derivative

A new route to the synthesis of a trans-tris(bicyclo[2.2.1]hexeno)benzene derivative, using Diels-Alder reaction as critical step, was investigated. The compound with six methoxycarbonyl groups was successfully synthesized in good yield without any organometallic reagents. Some useful by-products from dimethyl but-2-ynedioate were also isolated from the last step. Perhaps due to stereo-hindrance or electrostatic repulsion in the cis-isomer, trans-isomer was found to be the only isomer in the crystal and its structure was proved by X-ray diffraction.     

A highly enantioselective catalyst for asymmetric hydroformylation of [2.2.1]-bicyclic olefins

Rh(CO)₂(acac)/TangPhos was found to be a highly enantioselective catalyst for asymmetric hydroformylation of norbornylene under mild conditions. Application of the protocol to the desymmetrization of other [2.2.1]-bicyclic olefins gave moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (55-92% ee).     

Formation of Tetraacetal Oxa-Cages and Convex Oxa-Cages on Ozonolysis of Bicyclo[2.2.2] Octenes

Tetraacetal oxa-cage compounds 5a and 5b and convex oxa-cage compounds 7a and 8b are synthesized in a short sequence. Ozonolysis of endo adducts 2a and 2b in dichloromethane at ?78 °C followed by reduction with dimethylsulfide gave tetraacetal oxa-cages 5a and 5b in 35% yields respectively. Ozonolysis of 2a in dichloromethane at ?78 °C followed by treatment with triethylamine gave the convex oxa-cage 7a in 34% yield. These results support an acid-base proton transfer between the final ozonides and the base. The reasons that these oxa-cage compounds formed in low yields are discussed. The synthesis of tetraacetal oxa-cage 14, possessing aromatic substitutents directly on the skeleton of the oxa-cage, is accomplished.     

N-Arylmethyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives: synthesis and reaction mechanisms

N-Arylmethyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (I) derivatives have been synthesized by deprotection of N-protected, N-(arylmethyl)cyclohex-3-enamines, bromination of the resulting secondary cyclohex-3-enamines, followed by base-promoted cyclization (route a), or by bromination of N-protected, N-(arylmethyl)cyclohex-3-enamines followed by deprotection and base-mediated cyclization (route b). In these protocols we have observed that the bromination of the key intermediates (12, 13, and 19) is stereoselective leading to major trans-3-cis-4-dibromides (14, 17, and 20), whose mild base-mediated heterocyclization (on compound 14), or the two-step acid hydrolysis plus base-promoted cyclization (on compounds 17 and 20), gave products 6 and 7 in good yield. A mechanistic investigation using DFT has been carried out to explain the results observed in this work.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of methyl (1S,2R,4S,5S)-7-aza-5-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylate through unexpected stereoselective substitution reaction

Methyl (1S,2R,4S,5R)-7-aza-5-bromo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylate was synthesized in high yield in short time from methyl (1R,2S,4R,5R)-2-amino-4,5-dibromocyclohexanecarboxylate through intramolecular cycloamination under microwave-assisted conditions. The following substitution reaction by trifluoro-acetate anion also took place in microwave-assisted conditions to afford methyl (1S,2R,4S,5S)-7-aza-5-hydroxy-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylate. In the acyloxylation reaction, unusual endo-selectivity was observed owing to 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton.     

Synthesis and free radical polymerization of 2-methylene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane

A new monomer, 2-methylene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( IV ) was synthesized via four steps. Its structure was confirmed by IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR spectra as well as elementary analysis. Free radical polymerization and copolymerization of IV were investigated. No homopolymer was obtained due to the effect of allyl inhibition. When IV copolymerized with electron-donor monomers, such as vinyl acetate and stvrene, IV acted as inhibitor for the polymerization of vinyl acetate, but could not inhibit the polymerization of styrene. However, the copolymers of IV with electron-accepting monomers, such as methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, or maleic anhydride (MA) were obtained. The contents of IV in the copolymers increased as e values of electron-accepting monomers increased. Strictly alternating copolymer was obtained only in the case of MA and IV . The thermal properties of copolymers were investigated. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

High-Temperature Bromination XIII [1]: Bromination of Dimethyl 7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3dicarboxylate

The electrophilic addition of bromine to dimethyl 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylate 10 at 0 and –60°C led in high yield to the formation of dibromide 11. However, high-temperature bromination of 10 in carbon tetrachloride at 77°C gave four products 12–15, three of them with nonrearranged skeleton. Similarly, bromination of the dibromides 14 and 15 at 77°C yielded the nonrearranged tetrabromides 13 and 16, respectively. The structure of the tetrabromide 13 was solved by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The formation mechanism is discussed and supported by calculations.
