Complete π-Facial Stereoselectivity in the TiCl4-Mediated [4 + 2] Cycloaddition of Cyclopentadiene to N,N′-fumaroyldi[(2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam]

Under the co-operative influence of two prosthetic groups, and independent of the TiCl₄ concentration, complete and constant diastereofacial π-selection was achieved during the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene to N,N′-fumaroyl-di[(2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam] ((?)- 1c ); reactive conformations are discussed.     

Influence of Lewis Acids on the [4 + 2] Cycloaddition of N,N′-Fumaroylbis[(2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam] to Cyclopentadiene and application to various dienes

Among seventeen different Lewis acids, TiCl₄ was found to be the best catalyst for the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene to N,N′-fumaroylbis[(2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam] ((?)- 1 ). Independently of the TiCl₄ molar concentration, almost constant and complete (98–89% d.e.) diastereofacial π-selection was achieved in the Diels-Alder addition of (?)- 1 to cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, isoprene, and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene.     

Stereoselectivity in the TiCl4-Catalyzed [4+2] Cycloaddition of Cyclopentadiene to (2R)-Bornane-10,2-sultam Derivatives of Fumaric Acid Monoesters

The [4+2] cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene to the (2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam derivative (−)- 1b of fumaric monomethyl ester proceeds with high endo and π-facial diastereoselectivity in the presence of 0.5 mol-equiv. of TiCl₄. The major diastereoisomer endo-(2R,3R)- 2b , isolated in 87% yield by crystallization, was subjected to X-ray crystal-structure analysis. Steric influence of ethyl- and benzyl-ester analogues (−)- 1c and (−)- 1d , respectively, is also reported.     

Stereoselectivity in the Cycloaddition of Cyclopentadiene to N‐Fumaroyl‐[2R,S(R)]‐Bornane‐10,2‐sulfinamide Monomethyl Ester

The cyclic [2R,S(R)]‐bornane‐10,2‐sulfinamide (−)‐ 2b , an analogue of Oppolzer`s camphor‐derived sultam (−)‐ 2a , was synthesized by reduction of the known N‐alkylidenesulfinamide (+)‐ 1b with NaBH₄. The uncatalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene to the methyl ester (−)‐ 3b of the N‐fumaroylsulfinamide, obtained from (−)‐ 2b , proceeds with lower endo and π‐facial selectivity as compared to dienophiles (−)‐ 3a , c . In contrast to these latter, the diastereoselectivity is reversed either in apolar CCl₄ or in the presence of TiCl₄. This inversion is explained by a competitive C(α)‐si addition on the reactive anti‐s‐trans conformer.     

N,N,N′,N′-Tetrabutyl-3,6-dioxaoctan-dithioamid,Ionophor mit Selektivität für Cd2+

N,N,N′,N′-Tetrabutyl-3,6-dioxaoctane-dithioamide, an Ionophore with Selectivity for Cd²⁺ The dioxa-dithioamide 3 behaves as a highly selective ionophore for Cd²⁺ in solvent polymeric membranes. It induces cation-permselectivity in these membranes with a transference number of 1 for Cd(NO₃)₂- and of 2 for CdCl₂-solutions. In the presence of a proton carrier, 3 may be used to selectively pump Cd²⁺ through membranes by coupling with a pH gradient.     

[2+4]Cycloaddition of perfluoroazomethines

Conclusions Perfluoroazomethines react with cyclopentadiene at 160–180°C to form [2 + 4]-cycloadducts, viz., fluorine derivatives of 5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene. These derivatives were used to obtain the products of the radical addition of chlorine, bromine, and bis(trifluoromethyl)-nitroxyl.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1437–1440, June, 1986.     

A Chiral N,N′‐Dioxide–ZnII Complex Catalyzes the Enantioselective [2+2] Cycloaddition of Alkynones with Cyclic Enol Silyl Ethers

A highly efficient enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition between alkynones and cyclic enol silyl ethers was developed by using a chiral N,N′‐dioxide‐zinc(II) complex as a catalyst. This method functions well for a variety of terminal alkynes as well as cyclic enol silyl ethers, with good to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97 % ee). This is also the first successful example for the catalytic enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of internal alkynes with cyclic enol silyl ethers to give fully substituted cyclobutenes. Meanwhile, the desired cyclobutene product can easily be transformed into fused cyclobutane derivatives.

Magnetic-Field-Dependent Electronic Relaxation of Gd3+ in Aqueous Solutions of the Complexes [Gd(H2O)8]3+, [Gd(propane-1,3-diamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate)(H2O)2]−, and [Gd(N,N′-bis[(N-methylcarbamoyl)methyl]-3-azapentane-1,5-diamine-3,N,N′-triacetate)(H2O)] of interest in magnetic-resonance imaging

EPR Spectra have been measured for aqueous solutions of a series of Gd³⁺ complexes at variable temperature and a range of magnetic fields; S-band (0.14 T), X-band (0.34 T), Q-band (1.2 T), and 2-mm-band (5.0 T). The major contribution to the observed line widths is magnetic-field-dependent and is interpreted as being due to the modulation of the zero-field splitting produced by distortion of the complexes from perfect symmetry. The transverse and longitudinal relaxation matrices for an ⁸S ion with such an interaction have been calculated using Redfield theory with vector-coupling methods, and diagonalised numerically to obtain relaxation rates and intensities for the degenerate transitions which contribute to the multiplet. The observed line width, which is inversely proportional to the magnetic field at low temperatures, is best described by the intensity-weighted mean transverse relaxation time for the four transitions with non-zero intensity. A least-squares fit of the data yields the square of the zero-field splitting tensor, Δ², and a correlation time, τ_v, with activation energy, E_v. The physical significance of these parameters and the extent of validity of the theoretical approach are considered. The parameters are used to predict the magnetic-field dependence of the longitudinal and transverse electronic relaxation times, which are discussed in the context of their relevance to ¹H-NMR relaxivity.
