Oxydations par le carbonate d'argent—XII : Groupes fonctionnels azotes

Oxidation by silver carbonate on Celite gives azo compounds with primary aromatic amines. Hydrazones are rapidly converted into diazoalkanes, which rearrange into azines. Hydroxylamines give nitrones. Oximes of aromatic aldehydes give nitrile oxides, characterised by their 1,3-dipolar adducts with olefins, nitriles and oximes; 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are obtained in fair yields by this method.     

Investigations on intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions for the synthesis of isoxazolo-annulated pyrrolidines,piperidines and azepanes

Pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepanes with annulated isoxazole, isoxazoline or isoxazolidine rings were prepared by intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrones or nitrile oxides. The corresponding 1,3-dipoles were obtained from N-Boc-protected and N-allyl-, N-propargyl- or N-(3-butenyl)-substituted 2-aminoethanal or 3-aminopropanal.     

Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar nitrone and nitrile oxide cycloaddition of 2- and 4-O-allyl and propargyl glucose derivatives: a versatile approach to chiral cyclic ether fused isoxazolidines, isoxazolines and isoxazoles

2-O- and 4-O-Allyl and -propargyl glucose and the corresponding oxime derivatives were prepared from readily available glucose dithioacetals. Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the N-benzyl and N-methyl nitrones of the above acyclic 2-O-allyl glucose derivatives led to the diastereoselective formation of chiral isoxazolidines incorporating the tetrahydrofuran ring. The EI mass spectra revealed a characteristic cleavage of the C-alkyl group adjacent to the furan oxygen atom. An enantiopure trisubstituted tetrahydrofuran was obtained by the reductive cleavage of the isoxazolidine ring of one of the cycloadducts. In contrast, the nitrile oxide cycloaddition of the 2-O-allyl derivatives afforded diastereomeric mixtures of the corresponding dihydroisoxazolines, the stereochemistry of which was tentatively assigned on the basis of the principle of optical superposition. The exclusive formation of a tetrahydrofuran ring from pentaallyl nitrone or nitrile oxide demonstrated the preferred formation of a five-membered ring to that of six or seven-membered rings. The nitrile oxide generated from a 3,4,5,6,7-pentaallyloxy-1-nitroheptane derivative obtained from pentaallylglucose underwent diastereoselective cycloaddition to give an isoxazoline fused to a pyran ring. Enantiopure isoxazoles containing tetrahydrofuran and oxepane rings were also prepared in good yields by the nitrile oxide cycloaddition of the 2-O- and 4-O-propargyl derivatives.     

Reactions of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with C,N-diarylnitrones and nitrile oxides

The reactions of unactivated bis(methylene)cyclopropanes with nitrones and nitrile oxides have been investigated. The 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes react with the C,N-diarylnitrones to give a mixture of 2,2-dimethyl-1,6-diaryl-3-(diarylmethylene)piperidin-4-ones and 5-methyl-1-aryl-1-(arylamino)-4-(diarylmethylene)hex-5-en-3-ones. 2,3-Dihydro-3-methylenepyridin-4(1H)-ones are obtained by reaction of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with nitrile oxides.     

Fluorogenic Strain‐Promoted Alkyne–Diazo Cycloadditions

Fluorogenic reactions, in which non‐ or weakly fluorescent reagents produce highly fluorescent products, are attractive for detecting a broad range of compounds in the fields of bioconjugation and material sciences. Herein, we report that a dibenzocyclooctyne derivative modified with a cyclopropenone moiety (Fl‐DIBO) can undergo fast strain‐promoted cycloaddition reactions under catalyst‐free conditions with azides, nitrones, nitrile oxides, as well as mono‐ and disubstituted diazo‐derivatives. Although the reaction with nitrile oxides, nitrones, and disubstituted diazo compounds gave cycloadducts with low quantum yield, monosubstituted diazo reagents produced 1H‐pyrazole derivatives that exhibited an approximately 160‐fold fluorescence enhancement over Fl‐DIBO combined with a greater than 10 000‐fold increase in brightness. Concluding from quantum chemical calculations, fluorescence quenching of 3H‐pyrazoles, which are formed by reaction with disubstituted diazo‐derivatives, is likely due to the presence of energetically low‐lying (n,π*) states. The fluorogenic probe Fl‐DIBO was successfully employed for the labeling of diazo‐tagged proteins without detectable background signal. Diazo‐derivatives are emerging as attractive reporters for the labeling of biomolecules, and the studies presented herein demonstrate that Fl‐DIBO can be employed for visualizing such biomolecules without the need for probe washout.     

A convenient synthesis of 5-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones

The synthesis of 5-heteroaryl-substituted uracil derivatives is presented. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was applied for the construction of a heterocyclic ring. The nitrile oxides were obtained from the appropriate 4-substituted benzaldoximes using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) under basic conditions. [2+3] Cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with 5-cyanouracil as a dipolarophile gave the corresponding 5-(3-substituited-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)uracils in satisfactory yields under mild conditions. 5-Substituted uracils having an additional heterocyclic ring were obtained as a result of the [2+3] cycloaddition of 5-cyanouracil to nitrile oxides generated from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde and 5-formyluracil derivatives.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of prop-1-ene-1,3-sultone with nitrile oxides/nitrones

The scope and limitations of dipolar cycloaddition reactions between nitrile oxides/nitrones and prop-1-ene-1,3-sultone have been investigated. A remarkably high degree of regioselectivity and stereoselectivity was observed. The homochiral sultam 8e was synthesized in a four-step reaction sequence starting from the substituted isoxazoline 4e obtained from the cycloaddition. The absolute stereochemistry of this material was assigned by an X-ray crystallographic investigation of the intermediate 7e.

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides with nitrile oxides and nitrones is described. A series of novel isoxazolines are isolated from the nitrile oxide cycloadditions, whilst the isoxazolines generated from the nitrone cycloadditions undergo further ring opening to yield piperidines.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition approach to isoxazole, isoxazoline and isoxazolidine analogues of C-nucleosides related to pseudouridine

Isoxazole, isoxazoline and isoxazolidine analogues of C-nucleosides related to pseudouridine have been synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides and nitrones derived from mono and disubstituted uracil-5-carbaldehydes and 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. The dimethoxy derivatives have been easily deprotected to the corresponding uracils bearing the heterocyclic ring instead of a sugar moiety. The regio and stereoselectivity of the reactions are discussed.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reaction of 4-ethoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-buten-2-one 1 with nitrile oxides was studied. It was found that besides its CC participating in the formation of isoxazole rings, trifluoromethyl activated CO also underwent 1,3-DC reaction with nitrile oxides to afford 1,4,2-dioxazole rings. Single crystal diffraction analysis also evidenced the diheterocyclic configuration.     

Regio- and stereoselective (3 + 2)-cycloaddition of nitrile oxides and nitrones to <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-vinylindole

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides and nitrones to N-vinylindole proceeds regioselectively at the exocyclic multiple bond to form 5-indolyl-substituted isoxazolines and isoxazolidines in good yields.     

Efficient and mild Strecker-type reaction of nitrones catalyzed by MgI2 etherate

An efficient Strecker-type reaction of nitrones with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) catalyzed by MgI₂ etherate has been achieved in a short time under mild condition. The condensations of aromatic nitrones, heterocyclic nitrones, and aliphatic nitrones with TMSCN are performed in good to excellent yields. Further dehydration of α-cyanohydroxylamine smoothly produced the α-imine nitrile in good yields by hydrolysis with the treatment of 2.0?mol/L HCl in methanol.     

Synthesis of novel pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines from simple acetanilides via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

Some novel isoxazole and pyrazole fused pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines were synthesized from simple acetanilides via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions involving nitrones, nitrile oxides and nitrile imines as 1,3-dipoles, in a regioselective manner.     

1,3-cycloaddition of substituted benzonitrile oxides to aliphatic nitriles. The kinetic effect of substituents

A previous study of the reaction of aromatic nitrile oxides with simple aliphatic nitriles, with the formation of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, has been extended to a larger number of nitrile oxides. Sixteen new oxadiazole derivatives have been prepared and characterized. Cycloaddition rates have been measured in the temperature range from 50 to 80°. When considering the effect of substituents on the aromatic ring, roughly V-shaped Hammett plots have been obtained, as already observed for other concerted 1,3-cycloadditions.     

Regioselective synthesis of some isoxazolines and isoxazolidines bearing caprolactam moiety

Isoxazoline and isoxazolidine series were obtained by the reactions of aromatic aldonitrones and nitrile oxides with N-vinyl caprolactam via regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions that yield only 5-caprolactam-substituted regioisomers in moderate yields. The cycloaddition reactions were optimized using different conditions. The utilized one for the transformation of nitrile oxides to isoxazoles is triethylamine at room temperature and the best protocol have been found for the transformation of nitrones to N-methyl isoxazolidines is silver acetate in refluxing xylene. The structural identification of target compounds was established by IR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) spectra, and X-ray diffraction analyses.     

Synthesis of 5-trichloromethyl-Δ-1,2,4-oxadiazolines and their rearrangement into formamidine derivatives

A series of 5-trichloro-Δ⁴-1,2,4-oxadiazolines have been synthesised by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones to trichloroacetonitrile. These oxadiazolines rearrange into formamidine derivatives, via ring opening and a 1,2-aryl shift from carbon to the adjacent amino nitrogen. Both cycloaddition and rearrangement are facilitated when electron deficient nitriles and electron rich nitrones are used.     

Cycloadditions of nitrile oxides and nitrones to 4,4-methylene-1-methylpiperidine: Studies in regio- and stereoselectivity

Summary A series of spiro-substituted isoxazole derivatives were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile oxides and nitrones to 4,4-methylene-1-methylpiperidine. Since nmr studies confirmed that only one regioisomer was formed selectively, semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods (AM1) were used to rationalize this regiochemical preference via calculation and inspection of HOMO-LUMO-energy and coefficients. X-ray structure analysis carried out for one of these products showed the occurrence of only one stereoisomer, explicable by comparing AM1-calculated H _f -values of all possible cycloadducts.Part XXXI in the series 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition on Heterocycles.

Cycloaddition Reactions of Benzonorbornadiene and Homonorbornadiene: New Isoxazoline and Pyridazine Derivatives

Ten new isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of benzonorbornadiene and homonorbornadiene derivatives with nitrile oxides formed from benzaldehyde and 4‐substituted benzaldehyde. Two new pyridazine derivatives were also synthesized from the reaction of the homonorbornadiene derivatives with 3,6‐di (2‐pyridyl)‐s‐tetrazine. It was seen that all cycloaddition reactions were realized as exo selectivity. Finally, γ‐Gauche effect in the isoxazoline derivatives was discussed.     

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on solid supports: nitrone approach towards isoxazolidines and isoxazolines and subsequent transformations

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones with alkenes and alkynes are well-studied reactions in solution-phase organic chemistry. However, the number of studies concerned with their application in solid-phase organic synthesis is rather low compared to other 1,3-dipoles, e.g. azides or nitrile oxides. This tutorial review aims to summarise the main approaches towards the application of nitrones in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions on solid supports in addition to subsequent transformations with polymer-bound isoxazolidines and reactions using polymer-bound catalysts.     

Stereoselective preparation of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives substituted by pentafluorophenyl by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of chiral imines obtained from optically active amino acids with nitrile oxides afforded 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives in moderate to good yields with good stereoselectivity. Investigation on the effect of bases suggested that triethylamine was prone to afford better stereoselectivity, while NaHCO₃ was prone to increase the reaction rates and yields.
