A novel synthesis of bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones from cyclobutanones through [chloro(p-tolylsulfinyl)methylidene]cyclobutanes with ring expansion

Treatment of [chloro(p-tolylsulfinyl)methylidene]cyclobutanes, which were synthesized from cyclobutanones and chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in three steps in high overall yields, with excess cyanomethyllithium gave enaminonitriles in high yields. Heating of these enaminonitriles with H₃PO₄ in acetic acid gave 2-cyanobicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones in good yield. On the other hand, treatment of the [chloro(p-tolylsulfinyl)methylidene]cyclobutanes with cyanomethyllithium followed by lithium carbanion of the homologues of acetonitrile afforded enaminonitriles having a substituent at the 3-position. Heating of the enaminonitriles with H₃PO₄ in acetic acid gave 2-substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones in good to high yields. This method offers a novel and versatile procedure for synthesis of 2-substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones from cyclobutanones in good overall yields.

4-endo-Hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-en-3-one as a useful building block in the formal total syntheses of furofurandione natural products

4-endo-Hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-en-3-one (9) is a useful building block in the formal total syntheses of both Types A and B furofurandione natural products. The success of Pd-catalyzed epimerization of the γ-alkenyl substituent of the bislactones makes this methodology useful and versatile.     

Synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones via a tandem intermolecular Michael addition intramolecular aldol process (a bridged Robinson annulation)

A novel one-pot synthesis of the several bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones 19 has been developed in which a cyclic or acyclic ketone 18 is reacted with a cyclic enone 6 in the presence of strong acid to give the bicyclic enone product 19. Alternatively, the intermediate diketone 21 can be prepared separately and subjected to the reaction conditions to give the bicyclic enones 19 in good yields.     

Novel synthesis of dihydropyrans and 2,8-dioxabicylo[3.3.0]oct-3-enes using Mn(III)-based oxidative cyclization

The Mn(III)-based reaction of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with 2-(2-oxoethyl)malonates and 3-acetylpentane-1,4-diones gave novel substituted dihydropyrans and 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-enes in good yields, respectively. These routes rely on the nucleophilic character of the carbonyl-oxygen atoms of the malonates and pentanediones used to obtain the products by a cycloaddition reaction or cycloaddition-tandem cyclization reactions.     

The Synthesis and Chemistry of 8-Substituted Bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene

8-Bromobicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-cne (7), an intermediate for the preparation of 8-substituted bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-enes, was synthesized by denomination of 1,8,8-tribromobicyclo[5.1.0]octane (6). Compound 7 underwent bromo-lithium exchange followed by nucleophilic substitution reactions to generate bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (5), 8-methylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (10), and 8-trimethylsilylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (11). The bicyclic cyclopropenes 7, 5, 10, and 11 reacted with cyclopentadiene to form adducts 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively. All of these Diels-Alder adducts are endo-exo isomers (endo-addition from the view of the cyclopropene and exo-addition from the view of the cyclooctene).

[2+2] Cycloaddition of electron-poor acetylenes to (E)-3-dimethylamino-1-heteroaryl-prop-2-en-1-ones: synthesis of highly functionalized 1-heteroaroyl-1,3-butadienes

Microwave-assisted [2+2] cycloaddition of (E)-3-dimethylamino-1-heteroaryl-prop-2-en-1-ones to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylates gives (2E,3E)-dimethyl-2-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-(substituted)succinates in 8-91% yield. In the case of a 4,5-dihydrothiazoline derivative, cycloaddition also took place at the endocyclic CN double bond.

C1-C2 cleavage of C1-functionalized 8-oxabicyclo-[3.2.1]-oct-6-en-3-one. Stereoselective preparation of 4-substituted butenolides

Diastereoisomeric epimers at C1′ of 4-(1-methyl-2-oxo-butyl)-2-butenolide, and the corresponding saturated γ-lactones, were synthesized by hydrolysis of 1-methoxy-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1] oct-6-en-3-one, under acidic conditions. These butenolides are interesting synthetic building blocks, precursors of biologically active natural products like insect pheromones. Their formation could be explained by a cleavage at the C1-C2 bond of the oxabicyclic precursor. On the basis of the experimental data we have proposed a mechanism of hydrolytic cleavage which is formally an intramolecular reverse Dieckmann process.     

An efficient synthesis of novel benzo[b]pyrido[3',2':4,5] thieno[2,3-e][1,6]naphthy-ridine-8-ones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel benzo[b]pyrido[3',2':4,5] thieno[2,3-e][1,6] naphthyridine-8-one derivatives has been developed using a Pictet-Spengler reaction between 4-(3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)quinoline-2-ones, which could be obtained from the alkylation of 4-bromomethylquinoline-2-ones with 3-cyanopyridine-2-thione followed by a Thorpe-Ziegler isomerization, and aromatic aldehydes under p-TsOH as catalysis in good yields.

One-pot synthesis of benzo[a]phenanthridin-5-ones and benzo[k]phenanthridin-6-ones in fairly good yields was achieved by the photocycloaddition reactions of 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones and 3-chloroquinolin-2-ones with styrenes. The reactions were proceeded via photoinduced dechlorinative coupling of 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones and 3-chloroquinolin-2-ones with styrenes and subsequent photocyclization, oxidative aromatization.     

Diels-Alder Reactions of 6,9-Dipropyl-1, 4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]Deca-6, 8-Diene-2, 10-Dione with Substituted Alkenes. An Entry to Bicyclo[2.2.2]Oct-5-Ene-2, 3-Diones and 1, 3-Cyclohexadienes

The cycloadditions of the title compound, 1, a masked 3, 6-dipropyl-o-benzoquinone to various disubstituted (diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate, trans- and cis-stilbene, and cycloheptene) and monosubstituted alkenes (methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, styrene, ethyl vinyl ether, and 1-hexene) have been studied; the yields of the Diels-Alder adducts, 2, are generally high (> 75%) except for stilbenes. These adducts are effectively transformed into the corresponding bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2, 3-diones, 3, whose stereochemistries are determined from the ring current effect of the respective quinoxalines, 4, on the chemical shifts of the vinyl and the methine protons and/or the lanthanide (Eu(fod)₃) induced shift on the pertinent protons of 3. It is interesting to note that the quinoxaline ring current makes the vinyl protons down-field shifted by 0.15–0.27 ppm whereas the methine protons (R³=H) syn to the quinoxaline moiety up-field shifted by 0.18–0.39 ppm as compared to the chemical shifts of the corresponding protons in 3. The transformations of α-diketones 3 into the corresponding 1, 3-cyclohexadienes, 5, by irradition with a Hanovia medium pressure lamp through a uranium glass filter are almost quantitative. The present study provides facile and effective methods for the preparation of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2, 3-diones and 1, 3-cyclohexadienes from catechols via masked o-benzoquinones.
