Formation of isoxazole derivatives via nitrile oxide using ammonium cerium nitrate (CAN): a novel one-pot synthesis of 3-acetyl- and 3-benzoylisoxazole derivatives

The reactions of alkenes and alkynes with ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate ((NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆, CAN(IV)) in acetone under reflux gave the corresponding 3-acetyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole and 3-acetylisoxazole derivatives. In the case of acetophenone, 3-benzoyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole and 3-benzoylisoxazole derivatives were obtained. Reaction of acetone with CAN(IV) afforded the corresponding furoxan (3,4-diacetyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide) as the dimer of nitrile oxide. Moreover, it was found that yields of isoxazole derivatives were improved using ammonium cerium(III) nitrate tetrahydrate ((NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₅·4H₂O, CAN(III))-formic acid. The reaction mechanisms based on nitration and formation of nitrile oxide mediated by CAN(IV) or CAN(III) from acetone or acetophenone are also proposed.

Intermolecular cycloaddition of nonstabilized azomethine ylides generated from 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids: synthesis of 5,7a-dihydro-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazoles

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with nonstabilized azomethine ylides, generated via the decarboxylative condensation of 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids with aldehydes, afforded 5,7a-dihydro-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole derivatives. 2-Substituted-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids led to the stereoselective formation of 5,7a-dihydro-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazoles. Quantum-chemistry calculations were carried out allowing the rationalization of the observed stereoselective formation of the anti-dipole.

Regio- and stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to (E)-3-(2-oxo-2-(pyren-1-yl)ethylidene)indolin-2-ones: A combined experimental and theoretical study

Functionalized oxindoles and pyrrolizidines form the central structural framework for numerous natural products with extensive biological and pharmacological applications. The requirement for high regio- and stereoselectivity is the main obstacle in the synthesis of such five-membered heterocycles. Multicomponent cycloaddition reactions often provide an efficient and straightforward approach for the preparation of specific regio- and stereoisomers. In this article, the regio- and stereochemistry of the polar [3 + 2]-cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of azomethine ylides prepared by the reaction of isatin derivatives and L-proline with a series of (E)-3-(2-oxo-2-(pyren-1-yl)ethylidene)indolin-2-ones was investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. Among the isatin and (E)-3-(2-oxo-2-(pyren-1-yl)ethylidene)indolin-2-one derivatives, a remarkable inversion of regioselectivity was observed in the 32CA reaction of azomethine ylide generated by the reaction of L-proline and 5-chloroisatin or N-methyl-5-chloroisatin with (E)-5-chloro-3-(2-oxo-2-(pyren-1-yl)ethylidene)indolin-2-one. The regio- and stereochemical assignment of the structures of the cycloaddition products was determined by one- and two-dimensional (1D&2D) homonuclear and heteronuclear correlation nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The molecular mechanism as well as the regio- and stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition were investigated by means of global and local reactivity indices and a density functional theory (DFT) and explained in detail on the basis of the transition state stabilities of the reactants.
