Regioselectivity in the Addition of 1,3-Dipolarophiles to 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Thermolysis of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in the presence of 1,3-dipolarophiles having an unsymmetrically substituted double C=C bond (such as N-arylimides derived from 2-aryl-substituted maleic, citraconic, and itaconic acids, ethyl propynoate, aryl isocyanates, and aryl isothiocyanates) leads to formation of the corresponding 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products. The reaction is regioselective, and in most cases only one regioisomer is obtained. The addition direction depends on the 1,3-dipolarophile structure, i.e., electronic and steric factors determining the most effective orbital interaction upon approach of the reagent to substrate.     

Stereoselectivity in the Addition of 1,3-Dipolarophiles to 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Thermolysis of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in the presence of N-arylmaleimides having a substituent in the ortho position of the aromatic ring leads to predominant formation of the corresponding trans-9-arylperhydropyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-1,3-diones. 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes react with fumaric acid derivatives in a stereoselective fashion, affording perhydropyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazoles with a trans,trans configuration.     

Thermally Induced Tandem Cycloaddition of 2-Alkyl-3-phenylcyclopropenones to 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Thermolysis of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in the presence of 2-alkyl-3-phenylcyclopropenones gives fused polycyclic systems of the 4a,7b-diazacyclopenta[cd]inden-7-one series as a result of addition of two cyclopropenone molecules and extrusion of CO molecule. The first step of the process is characterized by 100% regioselectivity, leading to the adduct with vicinal arrangement of the aryl groups, while the regioselectivity of the second step is likely to be determined by spatial interactions between substituents in the cyclopropenone molecule and trimethylene bridge of the diazabicyclohexane. Steric hindrances in the second step could eliminate formation of stable products.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 578–585.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Molchanov, Sipkin, Koptelov, Kostikov.     

Catalytic opening of the diaziridine fragment in 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Treatment of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes with Lewis acids [BF₃·Et₂O or In(OTf)₃] promotes opening of the diaziridine ring, followed by formation of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products with N-arylmaleimides. The conversion of the initial diaziridine depends on the nature of the 6-aryl group. Diazabicyclohexanes with donor substituents react quantitatively to give (in the absence of dipolarophiles) the corresponding azomethine imine dimers, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives. The conversion of diazabicyclohexanes having acceptor substituents is poor; simultaneously, the fraction of the hydrolysis products increases. The stereoselectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, i.e. the ratio of the cis-and trans-adducts, depends on the catalyst and solvent. Azomethine imine dimers react with N-arylmaleimides in the presence of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate to give the same 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products as those obtained from parent 1,5-diazabicyclohexanes.     

Thermally induced opening of the diaziridine ring in 6-aryl-2-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Thermally induced opening of the diaziridine ring in 6-aryl-2-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]-hexanes at the carbon-nitrogen bond is characterized by low regioselectivity; isomerization of unstable intermediate azomethine imines leads to mixtures of the corresponding 1-arylmethyl-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles and 1-arylmethyl-3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles at a ratio of ～6:5. Analogous regioselectivity in opening of the three-membered ring is observed in the presence of phenyl isocyanate. In this case, adducts with cis arrangement of the aryl and methyl groups are formed as the major products (cis/trans ratio ～3:1).     

Mechanism of the anodic dissolution of gold in solutions of 6-alkyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

The electrochemical corrosion of gold in solutions of 6,6-dimethyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (I) and 6-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (II) on a gold electrode is studied via cyclic voltammetry. It is shown that the galvanostatic electrolysis of weakly basic aqueous solutions of I and II on gold anodes results in the corrosion of Au electrodes, probably with the formation of organic complexes of gold that are reduced to form a gold mirror on the inner surface of an electrochemical cell during electrolysis. A mechanism is proposed for the investigated processes.     

Diaziridine ring expansion in 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes upon reactions with activated olefins in ionic liquids

Reactions of 1,3-diphenylpropen-2-one and α-nitrostyrenes with azomethine imines, generated from 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes on catalysis with Et2O•BF3 in ionic liquids, were found to proceed with high regio- and stereoselectivity to afford the products of the diaziridine ring expansion, viz., [3-aryl-2-phenyltetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol- 1-yl](phenyl)methanones, 1,3-diaryl-2-nitrotetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazoles and 5-aryl-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazolium tetrafluoroborates (hexafluorophosphates). The reactions discovered are new, more simple methods for the syn- thesis of bicyclic structures.     

Generation and metathesis of azomethine imines in reaction of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes with het(aryl)methylidenemalononitriles

A new metathesis reaction of azomethine imines is found. Catalytic or thermal diaziridine ring opening of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes leads to azomethine imines reacting further with het(aryl)methylidenemalononitriles to give in situ new azomethine imines inaccessible by common synthetic methods. New azomethine imines are detected as pyrazolines formed via a 1,4-H shift and trapped by the [3+2] cycloaddition with various dipolarophiles to yield 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives bearing pharmacophoric heterocycles, e.g. furan, nitrofuran, thiophene, and indole. The best results are achieved in the Et₂O·BF₃-catalyzed reactions in ionic liquids.

First synthesis of 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane complexes with cadmium salts

Complexes of bicyclic diaziridines 6,6′-bi(1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane) (L ¹ ) and 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (L ² ) with the salts Cd(NO₃)₂ · 4H₂O and Cd(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O have been synthesized. The fact of complexation has been established by cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of complex L ¹ with Cd(NO₃)₂ (the coordination number of cadmium is 8) has been studied by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis,including asymmetric synthesis,of 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes by the 1,5-CH insertion of cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids as the key reaction

The addition reactions of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in the presence of NaHMDS or LDA resulted in the formation of adducts, 1-chlorocyclopropyl p-tolyl sulfoxides bearing a carbonyl group at the 2-position, in almost quantitative yields. The carbonyl group of the adducts was transformed to various ether groups to give 1-chlorocyclopropyl p-tolyl sulfoxides bearing an ether functional group at the 2-position in short steps. Treatment of these products with i-PrMgCl at low temperature afforded cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids via the sulfoxide-magnesium exchange reaction. 1,5-Carbon–hydrogen insertion (1,5-CH insertion) reaction of the generated magnesium carbenoid intermediates took place to give 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes or bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes bearing an ether group at the 4-position in moderate to good yields. When this procedure was carried out starting with enantiopure dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, enantiopure 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes were obtained in good overall yields. These procedures provide a good way for the synthesis, including asymmetric synthesis, of multisubstituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes from α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in short steps.     

1,5-Diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and 1,6-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes: a new method for the synthesis,quantum-chemical calculations,and X-ray diffraction study

A new method was developed for the synthesis of 6-substituted 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and 7-substituted 1,6-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes by condensation of N-monohalotrimethylene- and N-monohalotetramethylenediamines with carbonyl compounds in the presence of bases. X-ray diffraction studies and quantum-chemical B3LYP/6-31G* calculations demonstrated that the conformations of the resulting bicyclic systems are stabilized by stereoelectronic interactions. As a result, a boat conformation prevails in 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes, whereas the energies of chair, half-chair, and boat conformations of 1,6-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes are equalized.     

Ring transformation of 1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes under the action of arylketenes

The reactions of 1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes 8 with arylketenes 1 have been studied in different conditions. The 1‐(arylacethyl)pyrazolidines 11 were obtained at ?30 °C in ether and at 20 °C in benzene instead of the expected bicyclic systems 1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octan‐6‐one 9 and 3‐aryl‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane‐2‐one 10 . The synthesis of two representatives of bicycles 10 ( 10a,b ) proceeded in the reaction of unsubstituted 1,5‐diazabicycle[3.1.0]hexane 8a , accordingly, with diphenylketene 1a in benzene at 20 °C and with 4‐chlorophenylketene 1b in toluene at 60‐110 °C. Mechanisms of the studied transformations were offered.
