Cyclizations of 4-pentenyl, 5-hexenyl, 6-heptenyl, and 7-octenyl fluorinated radicals: a density functional theory theoretical study

The cyclization reactions of the 4-pentenyl, 5-hexenyl, 6-heptenyl, and 7-octenyl fluorinated and ether radicals have been studied by a hybrid Hartree-Fock density functional method. The reliability of this approach has been confirmed in agreement with experimental data and post-Hartree-Fock projected M?ller-Plesset second-order method. The analysis of the theoretical results shows that two factors are crucial for the determination of the regiochemistry and the reactivity of these reactions. The first factor is the ability of the starting radical to have a stable conformation in position to form the transition state, and the second one is the enthalpic effect of the reaction through the stability of the resulting cyclized radical. It should be pointed out that these factors are not linked to the polarity of the radicals due to the presence of CF2 groups.     

Catalytic, efficient, and syn-selective construction of deoxypolypropionates and other chiral compounds via Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of allyl alcohol

An efficient, syn-selective, all catalytic asymmetric protocol for the synthesis of alpha,omega-diheterofunctional deoxypolypropionates via Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination (ZACA reaction) was developed. The success of the method critically hinges on the one-pot conversion of unprotected allyl alcohol into TBS-protected (R)- or (S)-3-iodo-2-methyl-1-propanol (1) of 91% enantiomeric purity in 82% yield via (i) Zr-catalyzed asymmetric methylalumination, (ii) iodination, and (iii) protection with TBSCl. After zincation of 1, its Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with various organic halides can give various organic derivatives, including 3 and 4, which can serve as key intermediates for efficient and selective syntheses of deoxypolypropionates, such as doliculide and 2,4,6,8-tetramethyldecanoic acid, and other chiral compounds, such as callystatin A. Selective monocarboalumination of 1,4-pentadiene (5 equiv) gave, after oxidation, the expected product 5, but it was 0% ee. A plausible mechanism for racemization has been proposed and experimentally supported.     

A case of highly diastereoselective addition to unsymmetrical ketones: lk-addition of (2-alkenyl)triphenoxytitanium derivatives

(2-Butenyl)-, (4-methyl-2-pentenyl)-, and (2-heptenyl)triphenoxytitanium ( 2a – c ) add to dialkyl, alkyl aryl-, and alkinyl aryl ketones to give high yields of tertiary homoallylic alcohols ( 5 – 12 ), which are diastereomerically enriched up to 98%. Configurational assignment by degradation of two of the products to olefins 15 and 18 - through β-hydroxy acids 13 and 16 and β-lactones 14 and 17 - leads to the proposal of a general mechanism and of a specification of the relative topicity lk of the process (Scheme 5). The allylic Ti-compounds 2 can serve as d²-reagents (see the d²-synthon II and the aldol-type structures 1 ).     

Selective N,O‐Addition of the TEMPO Radical to Conjugated Boryldienes

B(C₆F₅)₂‐containing boryldienes 4 underwent the addition of two molar equivalents of TEMPO to give N,O‐bonded four‐membered heterocyclic products 7 . The reaction is a metal‐free example of the generation of reactive nitrogen‐centered TEMPO radical derivatives, in this case by the addition of TEMPO to the borane, followed by carbon–nitrogen bond formation and subsequent trapping of the resulting allyl radical by the second equivalent of TEMPO.     

Complete Diastereocontrol in Intramolecular 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 2-Substituted 5-Hexenyl and 5-Heptenyl Nitrones: Application to the Synthesis of the beta-Lactam Antibiotic 1beta-Methylthienamycin

The diastereoselectivity of intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 2-substituted 5-hexenyl and 5-heptenyl nitrones to give 6-substituted and 3,6-disubstituted perhydrocyclopenta[c]isoxazoles has been investigated. An alkyl or aryl substituent at C2 completely controls the stereochemistry of the ring juncture and, in the case of the 5-heptenyl systems, also the stereochemistry of the 3-methyl group. Thus one stereocenter controls the formation of the other three to give a product with four contiguous stereocenters. The use of an ethylene ketal substituent in these systems allows the reaction to be carried out at much lower temperatures, an example of the gem-dialkoxy effect. This cycloaddition process has been used in an efficient formal total synthesis of the potent beta-lactam antibiotic, 1beta-methylthienamycin.     

Use of allyl, 2-tetrahydrofuryl, and 2-tetrahydropyranyl ethers as useful C3-, C4-, and C5-carbon sources: palladium-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes

Palladium-diethylzinc or palladium-triethylborane catalytically promotes self-allylation of 2-(allyloxy)tetrahydrofurans, 2-(allyloxy)tetrahydropyrans, and their hydroxy derivatives on the rings (ribose, glucose, mannose, deoxyribose, deoxyglucose). All the reactions proceed at room temperature and provide polyhydroxyl products, sharing a structural motif of a homoallyl alcohol, in good to excellent yields with high levels of stereoselectivity. Useful C3-unit elongation, which makes the best use of an allyl ether as a protecting group and a nucleophilic allylation agent, is demonstrated. Mechanisms for the umpolung reaction (of an allyl ether into an allylic anion) and stereoselectivity associated with allylation of aldehydes are discussed.     

The study of intramolecular tandem radical cyclizations of acylsilanes with radicalphiles attached on silicon

Radical cyclizations of acylsilanes with radicalphilic pendant introduced on silicon proceeded in a tandem fashion to give spiro products containing a cyclic silyl ether skeleton. Because the alkoxysilyl group can be replaced with a hydroxy group through oxidation, the spiro silyl ethers can be converted into diols. In the case with a radical intermediate carrying 2-oxa-3-sila-6-heptenyl skeleton, products derived from 1,7-endo cyclization were obtained in good yields.     

Allylation of erythromycin derivatives: introduction of allyl substituents into highly hindered alcohols

Functionalized erythromycin 9-oxime derivatives are 6-O-allylated under mild conditions using substituted allyl tert-butyl carbonates under palladium(0) catalysis. This allylation works well where traditional ether-forming protocols function poorly. Allyl tert-butyl carbonates provide higher yields in this reaction than lesser substituted carbonates such as ethyl or isopropyl. Aryl-substituted allyl carbonates or carbamates may be employed as well and, when used, produce trans-olefinic products.

Synthesis,Reactions, and Anticancer Activity of Some 1,3,4-Thiadiazole/Thiadiazine Derivatives of Carbazole

A novel method for the synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives bearing a carbazole moiety is described. Carbazole was transformed into carbazole-9-thiocarbohydrazide in two steps. This compound was allowed to react with various electrophiles to yield 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. The reaction with bifunctional electrophiles led to 1,3,4-thiadiazines. 2-(Carbazol-9-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5-one reacted with piperidine and formaldehyde to yield the 4-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl) derivative. The reaction with aromatic aldehydes led to the corresponding 6-arylidene derivatives, which were transformed into pyrimidino[4,5-e]-1,3,4-thiadiazines and pyrazolo[3,4-e]-1,3,4-thiadiazines by a reaction with guanidine, acetamidine, or phenylhydrazine, respectively. Structures of the products were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and mass spectrometric measurements. Selected examples of products were screened for anticancer activity.     

Synthesis and properties of new functional derivatives of 2-isobornyl-6-methylphenol

Synthesis and rearrangement reactions of 1,4-dihydrospiro[1,4-methanonaphthalene-9,1′-cyclopropane] derivatives

Reactions of benzyne with ester derivatives of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-ylmethanol were performed. By rearrangement reaction of cyclopropyl methanol units of ((1s*,1′R*,2R*,4′S*)-1′,4′-dihydrospiro[cyclopropane-1,9'-[1,4]methanonaphthalen]-2-yl) methyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (13) and its isomer (14), corresponding allyl chlorides were obtained. Two rearrangement products were obtained from bromination of compound 13 with an equivalent amount of Br₂. A naphthalene derivative including allyl and CHO moiety was formed for reactions from compounds with epoxide of 13 and 14 with NaN₃ by sequential rearrangements. Formations of products are discussed.     

Iridium-catalyzed allylic vinylation and asymmetric allylic amination reactions with o-aminostyrenes

An Ir-catalyzed allylic vinylation reaction of allyl carbonates with o-aminostyrene derivatives has been realized, providing skipped (Z,E)-diene derivatives. With (E)-but-2-ene-1,4-diyl dimethyl dicarbonate as the substrate, an efficient enantioselective synthesis of 1-benzazepine derivatives via an Ir-catalyzed domino allylic vinylation/intramolecular allylic amination reaction has been developed. Mechanistic studies of the allylic vinylation reaction have been carried out, and the results suggest that the leaving group of the allylic precursor plays a key role in directing the reaction pathway. Screening of various allylic precursors showed that Ir-catalyzed reactions of allyl diethyl phosphates with o-aminostyrene derivatives proceed via an allylic amination pathway. A subsequent ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of the amination products led to a series of enantiomerically enriched 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives. Their utility is indicated by an asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-angustureine.     

Synthesis and reactions of pyrido[3,2,1‐jk]carbazole‐4,6‐diones

Pyrido[3,2,1‐jk]carbazoles 1 , synthesized from carbazoles and alkyl‐ or arylmalonates, gave regioselective electrophilic substitution reactions at position 5 such as chlorination to 5‐chloro derivatives 2 , nitration to 5‐nitro compounds 3 , or hydroxylation to 5‐hydroxy derivatives 4 . 5‐Hydroxy compounds 4 gave on treatment with strong bases ring contraction to 5 , 6 or the ring opening product 7 . Exchange of the chloro group in 2 with azide or amines gave the corresponding azides 8 and the 5‐amino derivatives 9 and 10 . Alkylation of 1 with benzyl chloride or allyl bromide resulted in the formation of 5‐C‐alkylated products 11 together with 4‐alkyloxy derivatives 12 . J. Heterocyclic Chem., 48, 1039 (2011).     

Versatile route to centro-substituted triquinacene derivatives: synthesis of 10-phenyltriquinacene

[reaction: see text] A versatile route to prepare centro-substituted triquinacene derivatives (1, R = various substituents), as exemplified by the preparation of 10-phenyltriquinacene (1, R = Ph), is reported. The quaternary, centro substituent (C-10) was installed by a trimethylsilyl chloride-promoted conjugate addition reaction of an organocuprate, derived from phenylmagnesium bromide, and the protected bicyclic enone (11). The resultant trimethylsilyl enol ether was then converted regioselectively to the C-2-allylated conjugate addition products (13, R = Ph). The allyl moiety, following oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond, was used to elaborate the tricyclic ring system by an intramolecular aldol/acetal deprotection reaction. The product of this reaction was then converted to the target compound using a standard series of functional group transformation reactions.     

Synthesis of some 4-thiazolidone derivatives from 4-(cyclo-3-alkenyl)thiosemicarbazones

The reaction of 4-(cyclo-3-pentenyl)- and 4-(cyclo-3-hexenyl) thiosemicarbazones with chloroacetic acid gave 2-hydrazono derivatives of 3-cyclo-pentenyl (cyclohexenyl) thioazolid-4-one, the condensation of which with aromatic aldehydes gave 5-benzylidene derivatives. Representatives of 4-thiazolidone with a carboxy group in the 5 position were synthesized by condensation of the same thiosemicarbazones with maleic anhydride. Some of the substances obtained have bactericidal activity.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 627–628, May, 1981.     

Carbonization of Polyacrylonitrile Composites with Nitrogen-containing Cellulose Derivatives

Thermal carbonization of nitrogen-containing cellulose derivatives (chitin, chitosan, cyanoethyl chitosan, cyanoethyl cellulose, copolymers of allyl carboxymethyl cellulose with polyacrylonitrile) as models of probable products of thermal reaction of cellulose with polyacrylonitrile was studied. The quantitative characteristics of carbonization of the model compounds are influenced by the nitrile group.     

Asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement induced by a chiral carbanion whose chirality was transferred from an epoxide

[reaction: see text] The enantioselective [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement of 1-allyloxy-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4-siloxy-2,4-pentadienyl anion, derived from optically enriched 4,5-epoxy-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-5-silyl-2-pentenyl allyl ether via a base-induced ring opening of the epoxide followed by Brook rearrangement, has been studied. The chirality of the epoxide was transferred to the alcohols in up to 97% ee, depending on the solvent used. The best result was obtained in 1,4-dioxane at a temperature above room temperature.     

Application of the Keck Radical Coupling Reaction to the Preparation of Allylated C5 Furanosides and C6 Pyranosides

Abstract

Allylated C5 furanosides and C6 pyranosides were prepared from known monosaccharide diol or polyol derivatives via a reaction sequence involving the initial selective formation of the primary iodide followed by application of the Keck allyl radical coupling reaction. Although the yields of the products in the coupling reaction were somewhat modest (usually 55-65%), the protocol was applicable to a variety of substrates, including sterically crowded cases, is experimentally simple and suitable for large scale preparations.     

Telomerization Studies with Allyl Ethene Sulfonate and Allyl Allyl Sulfonate

Telomerization of allyl ethene sulfonate (AES) in the presence of butyl mercaptan yielded a mixture of two products: the first was a five-membered ring sultone containing a sulfide group and the second a five-membered ring sulfonium salt formed by reaction of the sultone of the Just product with its own sulfide function. If cyclotelomerizations and cyclopolymerizations give the same ring structures, these results indicate that the cyclic units in poly-AES are five-membered rings. Telomerization of allyl allyl sulfonate (AAS) in the presence of butyl mercaptan yielded a mixture of two products formed by addition of butyl mercaptan to one of the two allyl functions. Telomerization of AAS in bromotrichloromethane yielded a small amount of 1,5-hexachIoro-3-bromopentane formed via fission of an oxygen-carbon bond, and a rearranged adduct. The rearrangement of the allyl group to a propenyl group in the case of AAS was not observed when allyl ethane sulfonate or propyl allyl sulfonate were telomerized under the same conditions. Therefore a mechanism is proposed in which the rearrangement of the allyl double bond in AAS is due to the presence of a second double bond in the same molecule. This observation also indicates that poly-AAS might have a more complicated structure than expected from a simple cyclopolymerization mechanism.
