Reactions of 2-benzylidene-3-methyl-4-nitro-2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide with CH acids

2-Benzylidene-3-methyl-4-nitro-2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide reacted with acyclic CH acids (acetylacetone, diethyl malonate, and its derivatives) according to the 1,4-addition pattern, whereas reactions of the title compound with cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) were complicated by subsequent intramolecular heterocyclization leading to thieno[3,2-b]chromene derivatives.     

The absence of nitrone form in re-determined crystal structure of 2-hydroxyimino-3-methyl-4-nitro-2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide

Crystal and molecular structures of 2-hydroxyimino-3-methyl-4-nitro-2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide C₅H₆N₂O₅S (I) have been re-determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of I (space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 6.124(1) Å, b = 9.205(2) Å, c = 14.884(3) Å, Z = 4) was solved by the direct method and refined anisotropically in the full-matrix approximation to R = 0.064 using all 1756 measured independent reflections (automated diffractometer CAD-4, λCuK_α, anomalous scattering taken into account). This study proves that the compound I contains a disordered group H-O-N=C, but not the isomeric nitrone group O←N(H)=C, as it has been concluded by the workers who pioneered single crystal X-ray diffraction study of I and erroneously took the second low-occupied oxygen position of the disordered hydroxyimine group for H at N atom.     

1,4-regioselective iodofunctionalizations of 1,3-butadiene

Addition reactions of benzene and acetonitrile to 1,3-butadiene are described. This new iodofunctionalization process proceeds “via” iodonium ion-allylic cation equilibrium and gives regioselectively 1,4-adducts, which can be alternatively obtained by acid treatment of the 1,2-derivative 8.     

Crystal structure analysis of 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrothiophen-1,1-dioxide

The geometry of 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrothiophen-1,1-dioxide was determined by X-ray diffraction: cell dimensions are reported together with bond lengths and bond angles. While bond lengths are smaller than those for the homologue 3-methyl-2,5-dihydrothiophen-1,1-dioxide, bond angles are similar. TheMe-C₃-C₄-Me torsion angle is 5.1±0.5°. These results are consistent with its relatively slow rate of decomposition.

Alkoxide-induced reactions of N-substituted saccharins. Synthesis of 1,2-benzothiazocine 1,1-dioxide and 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b]-[1,2]benzisothiazole 5,5-dioxide derivatives

The reactions of saccharin derivatives 1 with sodium alkoxides were studied. Under mild conditions, compounds 1a-f gave the corresponding open sulfonamides 5a-f . Under drastic conditions, β-(saccharin-2)propionic acid derivatives 1a,b reacted with sodium ethoxide affording saccharin and β-ethoxypropionic acid derivatives 4a,b . γ-(Saccharin-2)butyric acid derivatives 1c,d and γ-(saccharin-2)-butyrophenone 1f reacted with sodium t-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide affording 5-substituted 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2-benzothiazocine 1,1-dioxides 9 . From mother liquors, 1-substituted 2,3-dihydro-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2]benzisothiazole 5,5-dioxides 10 were isolated several hours later, though not detected immediately after completing the reaction. When the reactions were carried out in t-butyl alcohol, the yields of 9 diminished and those of 10 increased with product ratio inversion. Different experimental observations on the possible pathway generating 9 and 10 are discussed.     

Preparation,copolymerization kinetics,and viscoelastic behavior of copolymers of 1,3-butadiene and 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene

1,4-Diphenyl-1,3-butadiene reacts readily with sec-butyllithium in toluene to form adducts. Although this 1,4-substituted conjugated diene did not homopolymerize or copolymerize with styrene, with butadiene it formed copolymers having compositions varying from one end of the chain to the other. The monomer reactivity ratios found were r₁ = 8.2, r₂ = 0 in toluene and r₁ = 2.1, r₂ = 0 in toluene–tetrahydrofuran (0.2%) solution. The intramolecular composition distribution of these polymers varied from an initial butadiene-rich composition, dependent on the ratio of monomers charged, to the equimolar composition of the alternating copolymer. In spite of this compositional heterogeneity, the crosslinked polymers exhibited a single glass transition characteristic of the mean composition. A secondary, high-temperature dispersion observed in the dynamic viscoelastic properties of some of the products is shown to be attributable to network topological effects.     

Calorimetric and computational study of 1,4-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,4-dithiane sulfone)

This work reports the enthalpies of formation in the condensed and gas state of 1,4-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,4-dithiane sulfone, 5), derived from the enthalpy of combustion in oxygen, measured by a rotating bomb calorimeter and the variation of vapor pressures with temperatures determined by the Knudsen effusion technique. The theoretically estimated enthalpy of formation was calculated from high-level ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level. The theoretical calculations appear to be in very good agreement with experiment. A comparison of the conversion of thiane sulfone 3 to 1,3-dithiane sulfone 4 and 1,4-dithiane sulfone 5 clearly shows the 1,3 isomer to be 6.7 kJ mol(-1) less stable, probably owing to diminished electrostatic repulsion between the sulfur heteroatoms in 1,4-sulfone 5.     

Hydrosilylation and hydrogermylation of 3-OXO-1,2-Benzisothiazoline-2-(2-propynyl)-1,1-dioxide

The addition of triethylsilane and triethylgermane to N-propargylsaccharin in the presence of the Speier catalyst gives the gem adduct with trans configuration. This pathway accounts for 75–80% of the reaction.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2889–2891, December, 1991.     

Stereoselective synthesis of β-carboethoxy-γ-lactams via imino Mukaiyama aldol-type reaction of 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,4-diethoxy-1,3-butadiene

The reaction of the (bis)trimethylsilyloxy derivative of diethyl succinate with imines in the presence of ZnCl₂ provides a general stereoselective entry to β-carboethoxy-γ-lactams.     

Calorimetric and computational study of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone)

The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone) were measured by a rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter and the Knudsen effusion technique, and the gas-phase enthalpy of formation was determined, Delta(f)H(m)*(g) = -326.3 +/- 2.0 kJ mol(-1). Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level were performed, and a theoretical study on molecular and electronic structure of the compound has been carried out. Calculated Delta(f)H(m)*(g) values agree very well with the experimental one. These experimental and theoretical studies support the relevance of the repulsive electrostatic interaction between sulfur atoms in 1,3-dithiane sulfone, that apparently counterbalances any n(S) --> rho(C-SO2)* stabilizing hyperconjugative interaction.     

How is 1,1-dimethyl-1-silacy clopent-2-ene formed in the addition of dimethylsilylene to 1,3-butadiene? evidence for a pathway via a vinylsilirane intermediate

Addition of dimethylsilylene Me₂Si: to 1,4-dideutero-l,3-butadiene in gas-phaee flow pyrolysis experimenss leads to the formation of 2,5-dideutero-1, 1-dimethyl-1-silacyclopent-3-ene and 4,5-dideutero-1,1-dimethyl-1-suacyclopent-2-ene. Pyrolysis of the silacyclopent-3-ene product leads to the same silacyclopent-2-ene. This labelling pattern for the silacyclo-pent-2-ene product is compelling evidence for its formation via carbon-carbon bond-cleavage in a vinylsilirane intermediate, and for the intermediacy of the vinylsilirane in the silylene addition leading to the silacyclopent-3-ene as well.     

Reaction of 1,4-dibromo-1,2-butadiene with primary amines

Conclusions Starting with 1,4-dibromo-1,2-butadiene we synthesized bis(1-bromo-1,2-butadienyl)-N-(-hydroxyethyl)amine, which was reacted with primary amines to give 2,6-diethynyl-1-N-alkyl-4-N-(-hydroxyethyl)piperazines.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2579–2582, November, 1975.     

Efficient synthesis of new chiral 1,2-benzothiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide derivatives via lateral lithiation of 3-N-mesitylenesulfonyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones

Chiral 3-N-mesitylenesulfonyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones 4a-e derived from (l)- and (d)-amino acids 1a-e undergo lateral lithiation with lithium diisopropylamide and TMEDA in anhydrous THF to provide new optically-active 1,2-benzothiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide derivatives 5a-e with yields ranging from 63% to 79%.     

Synthesis of 1,2- and 1,4-amino alcohols from 1,3-dienes via oxazines. Rearrangements of 1,4-amino alcohol derivatives to oxazolines

Conjugated dienes were converted to 1,2-oxazines by reaction with an acyl nitroso dienophile. The oxazines were reduced to 1,4-N-acetylamino alcohols, which were rearranged to the corresponding oxazolines upon treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride or anhydride. The oxazolines yielded 1,2-N-acetylamino alcohols upon hydrolysis. Thus either 1,4- or 1,2-N-acetylamino alcohols are available from 1,3-dienes via this methodology. Experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.
