Neighboring effect of the lactam functionality in select reactions of 6-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,7-dione

The susceptibility of 6-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,7-dione (4) to nucleophilic attack was evaluated. Although steric effects preclude the 1,2-addition of many reagents, more reactive lithium and Grignard species react. Attack from the direction syn to the lactam functionality predominates. The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of select products delivered allylic alcohols carrying their double bond at varying distances from the spirocyclic carbon. These designed systems undergo hydrogenation predominantly from that π-surface syn to the amide component, the more so when a hydroxyl is proximate to these hetero atoms. The same phenomenon operates when N-benzoylated intermediates are hydrolyzed with potassium carbonate in methanol.     

Tautomer chemistry of thiazolidines. 1-Thia-4-azaspiro[4,5] decanes

The thiazolidine, 1-thia-4-azaspiro[4,5] decane (Ia), which is derived from cyclohexanone and 2-aminoethanethiol (X), forms a thiazolidone (VIII) with mercaptoacetic acid more slowly and in lower yield than with 2-phenylthiazolidine, a case reported previously. A thiazolidine which is related to a non-conjugate chain tautomer such as Ic, might be expected to behave in this way. Alkylation, as another possible example of tautomer chemistry, was studied, and N-, S-, and C-alkylation were all observed under varying circumstances. Thus, thiazolidine la undergoes alkylation with methyl iodide in ethanol to form the N-methylthiazolidine (IIa), and in sodium-liquid ammonia to give the S-methyl derivative (III). In the latter case, alkylation occurs with reductive cleavage. Although no trace of other tautomer derivatives (IV, V) was to be found in the methyl iodide alkylation, I with acrylonitrile did in fact give C-alkylation. An analytically pure mixture of tautomers was obtained, from which 2-oxocyclohexanepropionitrile (VI) was isolated on hydrolysis. In a manner similar to the formation of III, IIa was S-alkylated by treatment with sodium-liquid ammonia followed by benzyl chloride to give a saturated product (XVII). Although such a process might be identified with a chain tautomer (IIb), the evidence is to the contrary, since the intermediate (XIV), which might be involved in such a process, fails to undergo a similar reduction with sodium-liquid ammonia. A greatly improved procedure for the preparation of thiazolidine (XI, 86% yield) is also reported.     

Synthesis of 1,6,7-trioxa-spiro[4.5]decanes

As potential antimalarial agents, four novel spiro-peroxides were designed and synthesized with the peroxy bond introduced employing the Kobayashi’s methodology (with modifications). The results showed that by using cyclic hemiketal as substrates the incorporation of the hydroperoxyl group could be achieved in high yields without recourse to the expensive Sc(OTf)₃ catalyst.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 1-azaspiro[4.5]decanes via intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones containing the bornane-10,2-sultam chiral auxiliary

The intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a cyclic nitrone, prepared by an asymmetric electrophilic enolate hydroxyamination using the (2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam chiral auxiliary, proceeds to give bridged and fused cycloadducts with total diastereocontrol. Reduction of the fused isoxazolidine provides a 1-azaspiro[4.5]decane as a potential intermediate in the asymmetric synthesis of the cylindricine alkaloids.

Ring-rearrangement metathesis of 1-substituted 7-azanorbornenes as an entry to 1-azaspiro[4.5]decane systems

Several metathesis sequences have been carried out using 7-azanorbornenes as starting materials. The occurrence of several exocyclic olefin patterns in the bridgehead position of this system opens the way to gain interesting spirocyclic compounds, which were achieved using several ring-rearrangement metatheses (RRM). The metathesis products, thus obtained, may be useful for the synthesis of new peptidomimetics and related compounds.

Metal-mediated dearomatization leading to 2-azaspiro[4.5]decanes via tandem nucleophilic aromatic addition–Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination–oxidative demetalation sequences

A ruthenium-mediated dearomatization sequence has been developed that delivers structurally intriguing azaspirolactam products in stereoselective fashion. Treatment of (η⁶-arene)Ru(cyclopentadienyl) complexes bearing N-benzyl-β-amido phosphonate side chains with excess NaH results in intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic addition to the ipso position of the coordinated arenes. Subsequent Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction with added aldehydes affords olefinated spirolactam cyclohexadienyl ruthenium complexes. Mild oxidation with CuCl₂ or CuBr₂ under CO effects removal and recovery of the CpRu(II) fragment. Substituents present on the cyclohexadienyl skeleton influence the outcome of demetalation and products obtained in this study include functionalized 2-azaspiro[4.5]decanes and tetrahydroisoquinolinones.
