A method for synthesis of bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones from cyclobutanones with one-carbon ring expansion and its application to a formal synthesis of racemic 1-desoxyhypnophilin

A method for synthesis of 2-cyanobicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones and 2-substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones was developed by assembly of three components, cyclobutanones, chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, and nitriles, with one-carbon ring expansion of the cyclobutane ring. As an application of this method, a formal synthesis of 1-desoxyhypnophilin in racemic form was performed starting from 3,3-di(phenylthiomethyl)cyclobutanone.     

Synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones via a tandem intermolecular Michael addition intramolecular aldol process (a bridged Robinson annulation)

A novel one-pot synthesis of the several bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones 19 has been developed in which a cyclic or acyclic ketone 18 is reacted with a cyclic enone 6 in the presence of strong acid to give the bicyclic enone product 19. Alternatively, the intermediate diketone 21 can be prepared separately and subjected to the reaction conditions to give the bicyclic enones 19 in good yields.     

8-Azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-ones via asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a homochiral 3-oxidopyridinium betaine

8-Azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-ones were prepared by asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of homochiral pyridinium betaine 4. Excellent diastereofacial selectivity was achieved for the major 6-exo cycloadducts. The absolute stereochemistry of cycloadduct 7 was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.     

Novel synthesis of dihydropyrans and 2,8-dioxabicylo[3.3.0]oct-3-enes using Mn(III)-based oxidative cyclization

The Mn(III)-based reaction of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with 2-(2-oxoethyl)malonates and 3-acetylpentane-1,4-diones gave novel substituted dihydropyrans and 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-enes in good yields, respectively. These routes rely on the nucleophilic character of the carbonyl-oxygen atoms of the malonates and pentanediones used to obtain the products by a cycloaddition reaction or cycloaddition-tandem cyclization reactions.

The Synthesis and Chemistry of 8-Substituted Bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene

8-Bromobicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-cne (7), an intermediate for the preparation of 8-substituted bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-enes, was synthesized by denomination of 1,8,8-tribromobicyclo[5.1.0]octane (6). Compound 7 underwent bromo-lithium exchange followed by nucleophilic substitution reactions to generate bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (5), 8-methylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (10), and 8-trimethylsilylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (11). The bicyclic cyclopropenes 7, 5, 10, and 11 reacted with cyclopentadiene to form adducts 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively. All of these Diels-Alder adducts are endo-exo isomers (endo-addition from the view of the cyclopropene and exo-addition from the view of the cyclooctene).     

[2+2] Cycloaddition of electron-poor acetylenes to (E)-3-dimethylamino-1-heteroaryl-prop-2-en-1-ones: synthesis of highly functionalized 1-heteroaroyl-1,3-butadienes

Microwave-assisted [2+2] cycloaddition of (E)-3-dimethylamino-1-heteroaryl-prop-2-en-1-ones to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylates gives (2E,3E)-dimethyl-2-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-(substituted)succinates in 8-91% yield. In the case of a 4,5-dihydrothiazoline derivative, cycloaddition also took place at the endocyclic CN double bond.     

C1-C2 cleavage of C1-functionalized 8-oxabicyclo-[3.2.1]-oct-6-en-3-one. Stereoselective preparation of 4-substituted butenolides

Diastereoisomeric epimers at C1′ of 4-(1-methyl-2-oxo-butyl)-2-butenolide, and the corresponding saturated γ-lactones, were synthesized by hydrolysis of 1-methoxy-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1] oct-6-en-3-one, under acidic conditions. These butenolides are interesting synthetic building blocks, precursors of biologically active natural products like insect pheromones. Their formation could be explained by a cleavage at the C1-C2 bond of the oxabicyclic precursor. On the basis of the experimental data we have proposed a mechanism of hydrolytic cleavage which is formally an intramolecular reverse Dieckmann process.

Gomadalactones A, B, and C: novel 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane compounds in the contact sex pheromone of the white-spotted longicorn beetle, Anoplophora malasiaca

The ether extract of the females of white-spotted longicorn beetle Anoplophora malasiaca showed activity as contact sex pheromone to males. The extract was fractionated, and a pheromonal activity was revealed only when three fractions; n-hexane, n-hexane/EtOAc 9:1, and EtOAc were blended. The relative structures of gomadalactone A, B, and C, three active components isolated from the EtOAc fraction, were determined by spectroscopic studies to be (1S^∗,4R^∗,5S^∗)-5-hydroxy-4-[(E)-7-hydroxy-4-methylhept-3-enyl]-4,8-dimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-en-2,6-dione, (1R^∗,4R^∗,5R^∗)-5-hydroxy-4-[(E)-7-hydroxy-4-methylhept-3-enyl]-4,8-dimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-en-2,6-dione, and (1S^∗,4R^∗,5S^∗,8S^∗)-5-hydroxy-4-[(E)-7-hydroxy-4-methylhept-3-enyl]-4,8-dimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-2,6-dione, respectively.

One-pot synthesis of benzo[a]phenanthridin-5-ones by photoinduced cycloaddition of 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones with styrenes

One-pot synthesis of benzo[a]phenanthridin-5-ones and benzo[k]phenanthridin-6-ones in fairly good yields was achieved by the photocycloaddition reactions of 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones and 3-chloroquinolin-2-ones with styrenes. The reactions were proceeded via photoinduced dechlorinative coupling of 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones and 3-chloroquinolin-2-ones with styrenes and subsequent photocyclization, oxidative aromatization.

Production and degradation mechanism of theacitrin C, a black tea pigment derived from epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate via a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-type intermediate

Black tea is rich in polyphenols and has been shown to have various health benefits; however, its components have not yet been clarified in detail. Enzymatic oxidation of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, the most abundant polyphenol in tea, is thought to contribute significantly to the production of black tea polyphenols. We identified theacitrin C, an unstable black tea pigment, as an enzymatic oxidation product of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate. Degradation of theacitrin C afforded theacitrinin A and 2,3,5,7-tetrahydroxychroman-3-O-gallate. Furthermore, theacitrinin B, which was isolated from black tea, is deduced to be a degradation product of theacitrin A, the desgalloyl analogue of theacitrin C. The structures of theacitrinins A and B were elucidated based on spectroscopic data. This is the first time that a degradation product of theacitrin has been isolated from black tea. We also examined the influence of esterification of the epigallocatechin C-3 hydroxyl group on the decomposition of bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-type intermediates.     

Reduction of 5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides to 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines and their transformation into piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol

3,3-Dialkyl-5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides, prepared via bromocyclization of N-(2,2-dialkyl-4-pentenylidene)amines by means of bromine in dichloromethane, were reduced to 4,4-dialkyl-2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines for the first time using borane dimethyl sulfide in dichloromethane. Furthermore, the latter 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines were transformed into the corresponding piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of potassium carbonate. Reduction of 5,5-dialkylpiperidin-3-ones by means of sodium borohydride in methanol afforded 5,5-dialkyl-3-hydroxypiperidines in good yields.     

Synthesis and herbicidal activity of novel 6-arylthio-3-methylthio-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones

A series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-one derivatives was conveniently synthesized via tandem aza-Wittig and annulation reactions of the corresponding iminophosphoranes, arylisocyanate, and substituted thiophenols. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, LC-MS, and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay demonstrated that some title compounds such as 6-(3-chlorophenylthio)-1-phenyl-3-methylthio-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4(5H)-one and 6-(4-fluorophenylthio)-1-phenyl-3-methylthio-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one showed good inhibition activities against the root of Brassica napus (rape) and Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass) at a dosage of 100 mg/L.
