Electrostatic interactions between substituents as regioselectivity control elements in Diels-Alder cycloadditions. A DFT study of cycloadditions of 1-methoxy-4-trimethylsiloxy dienes with acrylonitrile

The regioselectivities of Diels-Alder reactions of 1-methoxy-4-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene and the corresponding o-xylylene with acrylonitrile were explored with density functional theory. The transition state of the reaction of the diene with acrylonitrile was studied in both the gas phase and in a low dielectric (epsilon = 2.247) solvent. The regioselectivities of these reactions are predicted to be controlled by the direct electrostatic interactions between the diene and dienophile substituents. The electron-donating capacities of methoxy and trimethylsiloxy substituents are shown to be very similar and to not contribute to regioselectivity control. A prediction is made that the cycloadditions of the o-xylylene will be unselective, while 1-methoxy-4-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene will give a small preference ( approximately 5:1) in favor of the proximal methoxy and cyano groups. The thermochromic behavior of trans-disubstituted disiloxy benzocyclobutene was also explored.

«3-Fluorisopren» (2-Fluor-3-methyl-1,3-butadien) und einige heterosubstituierte Abkömmlinge

‘3-Fluoroisoprene’ (2-Fluoro-3-methyl-1,3-butadiene) and Some Hetero-substituted Derivatives Thereof The readily accessible 1-chloro-1-fluoro-2-iodomethyl-2-methylcyclopropane undergoes zinc-promoted ring-cleavage yielding 2-fluoro-3-methyl-1, 3-butadiene (‘3-fluoroisoprene’) in almost quantitative yield. Alternatively the iodine atom may be replaced by electron-attracting groups such as cyano, benzenesulfonyl or triphenylphosphonio. Ring-opening of the resulting derivatives can then be brought about by various bases and leads to substituted fluorodienes. - The chemical reactivity of ‘3-fluoroisoprene’ has been studied in some detail. For example, it was found to add bromine at temperatures below 0° under kinetic control and to afford mainly the 1,4-adduct having the (Z)-configuration besides smaller quantities of the 1,2- and 3,4-adduct. At room temperature this mixture slowly undergoes a transformation yielding, as the sole products, both stereoisomeric 1, 4-adducts in a 1:1 ratio.

Synthesis of conjugated (1E,3E)- and (1Z,3Z)-1,4-di(n-pyridyl) (or n-quinolyl)-1,3-butadienes from n-(2′-chloroethenyl)pyridine (or quinoline)

The homocoupling reaction between the conjugated n-(2-chloroethenyl)pyridine; n, 2-, 3- and 4- (or quinoline; n, 2- and 4-) mediated by zero-valent nickel complexes at room temperature affords to the corresponding 1,4-diaryl-1,3-butadiene, always as the 1E,3E stereoisomer. The yield in 1,4-diaryl-1,3-butadiene increases with the nickel catalyst and hence, the active zero-valent nickel catalyst is not regenerated during the homocoupling reaction.The stereospecific synthesis of (1Z,3Z)-1,4-di(4′-pyridyl)-1,3-butadiene stereoisomer was efficiently carried out by partial hydrogenation of the appropriate 1,4-di(4′-pyridyl)-1,3-butadiyne.

Other 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds including β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones underwent the fluorination reaction to give the corresponding fluorinated products in good yields.     

Formation of Azulenequinone Derivatives from Variously Functionalized Azulenes by Bromine-oxidation

Variously functionalized 1,5- and 1,7-azulenequinones were easily derived in one-pot in 30-50% yield from the bromine-oxidation of 2-methoxyazulene and 2-methyl derivatives of 1-cyano-, 1-methoxycarbonyl- and its 7-isopropyl derivatives, while 1-methoxycarbonylazulene afforded several unstable products from which we could not isolate any azulenequinones. 1-Acetylazulene afforded 3-bromo-1,5- and -1,7-azulenequinones via side-chain brominated intermediates in high yield. 1,3-Dichloroazulene afforded a mixture of 3-chloro-1,5- and −1,7-azulenequinones, while 1-fluoro- and 1,3-diiodoazulene gave a mixture of 3-bromoazulenequinones. Analogous oxidation of 1,3-difluoroazulene produced 3-fluoroazulenequinones, but we could not isolate them due to its instability.
