Skeletal isomerism within 1,3-disilabicyclo[1.1.0]butane and 2,3-disilabuta-1,3-diene derivatives

A bis-adamantane-spiro-fused 1,3-bis(triisopropylsilyl)-1,3-disilabicyclo[1.1.0]butane equilibrates with the corresponding 2,3-bis(triisopropylsilyl)-1,3-disilabuta-1,3-diene with a ratio of 1:19. The 1,3-disilabuta-1,3-diene was fully characterized by a combination of multinuclear NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Ring-opening reactions of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene and spiro[4.4]nona-1,3-diene induced by tungsten(0) carbonyls

Tungsten(0) carbonyls react with the strained spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene and the less strained spiro[4.4]nona-1,3-diene with CC bond cleavage and formation of stable alkylene bridged π-cyclopentadienyl-σ-alkyl complexes. The product containing a two carbon bridge has the same unusual spectroscopic properties as the analogous molybdenum complex.

The synthesis and structure of 10,11-bistrifluoromethyl-i,o-bicyclo[7.2.2]trideca-10,12-diene. A highly strained inside-outside bicycloalkane derivative.

10,11-Bistrifluoromethyl-i,o-bicyclo[7.2.2]trideca-10,12-diene has been prepared by the Diels-Alder addition of hexafluoro-2-butyne to cis, trans-cycloundeca-1,3-diene. Purification was accomplished via formation of an iron tricarbonyl complex whose structure was established via X-ray crystallography.     

The formation of tetracyclo[7.2.1.02,5.02,8]dodeca-6,10-dienes under conditions of thermal isomerization of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene into bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-1,3-diene

The formation of the novel hydrocarbons, tetracyclo[7.2.1.0^2,5.0^2,8]dodecadienes, as a result of thermal isomerization of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene into bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-1,3-diene and its capture by 1,3-dienes is demonstrated. The conditions of thermal isomerization and dimerization of the spiroheptadiene are studied. Cyclopropanation of the polycyclic dienes formed by diazomethane in the presence of Pd-catalysts was accomplished, and occured solely through the norbornene double bond.For preliminary communication see ref.¹ Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 132–137, January, 1993.

Comparison of Birch with electrochemical reduction of 2,3-diphenyl-1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]deca-1,3-diene

Reduction of 2,3-diphenyl-1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]deca-1,3-diene is investigated both voltammetrically (glassy-carbon electrode, 20 °C, non-aqueous-solvents) and using dissolving-metals (sodium, ?78 °C, tetrahydrofuran (THF)/NH₃(l)). Remarkably, electro-reduction furnishes two two-electron processes, whilst only a four-electron product results from Birch synthesis.     

Bicyclic allenes : Generation and trapping of 6,7-benzobicyclo [3.2.1] octa-2,3-diene

Treatment of 3-bromo-6,7-benzobicyclo [3.2.1] octa-2,3-diene (9) with potassium tert.-butoxide produces the strained bicyclic allene (10) which is trapped by 1,3-diphenylbenzo[c]furan (DBI) to give five isomeric cycloadducts. In the absence of DBI, allene (10) gave rise to enol ether (18) by addition of tert.-butanol.

3-nitrocoumarins as dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction in water. An approach to the synthesis of nitrotetrahydrobenzo[c]chromenones and dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furans

The [4 + 2] cycloadditions of 3-nitrocoumarin (1a), 6-chloro-3-nitrocoumarin (1b), and 6-, 7-, and 8-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins (1c, 5, and 6) with (E)-piperylene (7), isoprene (8), 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (9), 2-methoxy-1,3-butadiene (10), 2,3-dimethoxy-1,3-butadiene (11), and cyclopentadiene (12) were investigated in aqueous medium, in organic solvent and under solventless conditions. The reactions performed in water occurred in heterogeneous phase but were faster than those executed in toluene or dichloroethane (DCE). 1a-c, 5, and 6 behaved as 2pi components in the Diels-Alder cycloadditions with 7-10 and 12, and exo adducts were preferentially or exclusively produced. Surprisingly 1a, behaved as a 4pi component in the cycloaddition in water with 11 and 4-substituted 3-nitrochromanones 20 and 21 were isolated. The cycloadditions of hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins 1c, 5, and 6 with 1,3-diene 9 did not work in water or in organic solvent, but did work under solventless conditions. Nitrotetrahydrobenzo[c]chromenones 13-16, 24, and 25, originating from the normal electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions, were converted into dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furans 27-31 in water, via one-pot Nef-cyclodehydration reactions.     

Asymmetric cobalt-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of a boron-functionalized 1,3-diene with alkynes and allylboration with aldehydes

[Structure: see text] A cobalt(I)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of a 1-boron-functionalized 1,3-diene is the key step in a one-pot reaction interconnecting three simple starting materials to obtain a multifunctionalized product. This product incorporates a stereogenic quaternary center next to a stereogenic secondary alcohol functionality generated with a very high degree of regio- and diastereoselectivity and good enantioselectivity in the presence of a chiral ligand such as (S,S)-Norphos.

Some complex pyrano[2,3-b]- and pyrido[2,3-b]quinolines were synthesized from simple acetanilides via intramolecular domino hetero Diels-Alder reactions of 1-oxa-1,3-butadienes using water as solvent.     

Competing Diels-Alder reactions of activated nitroethylene derivatives and [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of the cycloadducts

Diels-Alder reaction of nitroethylene derivatives with cyclohexa-1,3-diene afforded three pericyclic products some of which could be converted to others via a new [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement or via a Claisen rearrangement.

Base-induced [1,5laroyl migration in the Diels-Alder adduct of [2-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)benzoyl]-1, 4-benzoquinone and trans-penta-1, 3-diene followed by acid-mediated cyclisation affords the corresponding hydroxynaphthacenequinone.     

Ruthenium-catalyzed homo Diels-Alder [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of alkynyl phosphonates with bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene

Ruthenium-catalyzed homo Diels-Alder [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions between alkynyl phosphonates and bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene were studied. The observed reactivity was found to be dependent on the presence of the phosphonate moiety. The Ru-catalyzed cycloaddition was compatible with a variety of aromatic and aliphatic substituted alkynyl phosphonates, providing the corresponding phosphonate substituted deltacyclenes in low to good yields (up to 88%).
