Tricyclic-isoxazolidine analogues via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones

The tricyclic-isoxazolidine analogues tetrahydrothiochromenoisoxazoles, hexahydroisoxazolequinolines and tetrahydroisoxazolepyranopyridines were prepared by an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of a nitrone with an alkene. For N-alkylated hexahydroisoxazolequinolines, reduction of the reaction time from two days to 40 min was achieved using microwave heating. The cyclization to form tetrahydroisoxazolepyranopyridines only proceeded when the alkene was substituted with an electron withdrawing group.

It was found that 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones derived from formaldehyde and acetaldehyde to sugar enlactones proceeds regio- and stereospecifically to afford anti - endo adducts.     

Functionalized Cycloheptanes from Bicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes

Several oxidative, reductive and C,C-cleavage reactions were performed starting from the three bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-3,7-diene-2-one derivatives 1, 5 and 18 . The oxidations were selective and led to the diols 2,8 and 9 , and the epoxides 6,9 , and 20 . The reductions were selective only in the case of 20 21 ; otherwise they led to mixtures of the alcohols 10 and 11 , and of the dienes 14 and 15 . The periodate ring cleavages afforded the functionalized cycloheptane derivatives 3, 12, 13 and 16 . Configurational assignments were made on the basis of detailed ¹H-NMR and X-ray analysis of 20 .     

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of adamantine-derived nitrones with maleimides

Abstract

Adamantane-derived aldo- and ketonitrones react with maleimides giving corresponding isoxazolidines. In the case of aldonitrones reactions proceed giving the diastereomeric mixtures. The ratio of isomers is changing during the reaction process due to the reversibility of the cycloaddition reaction. The cytotoxic and virus-inhibiting activity against influenza virus was investigated for selected adducts.     

Oxymercuration. Substituted 9-oxabicyclo[4.2.1]- and 9- oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes

Oxymercuration of cis, cis-1, 5-cyclooctadiene ( 1 ), followed by treatment with potassium iodide and subsequent reaction with iodine, leads to six isomeric diiodides which represent the three possible stereoisomers 2 , 3 , and 4 of 2, 5-diiodo-9-oxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane as well as 5 , 6 , and 7 of 2, 6-diiodo-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. The isolation, structure determination and some reactions of these diiodo compounds 2 – 7 are described.     

4-Oxa(thia)-9-oxa-2-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane-3-on(thion) derivatives

The synthesis of 7,8-dihydroxy-2-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,9-dioxa-2-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane- 3-thione ( 16 ) and of its parents 9-oxa-4-thia-3-thione 17 , and 9-oxa-4-thia-3-one 18 is described. The conversion of 5′-deoxy-5′-iodo-2′,3′-O, O-isopropylidene-5,6-dihydrouridin ( 1 ) into the 2-O-methyl-5,6-dihydrouridine 5 , the 5′-O-acetyl-5,6-dihydrouridine 4 , and into the N-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-O, O-isopropylidene-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-N-(2-methoxycarbonyl thyl)-urea ( 6 ) invoked 2′,3′-O, O-isopropylidene-2,5′-anhydro-5,6-dihydrouridine ( 2 ) as the common intermediate.     

The regiochemistry and stereochemistry of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of cyclic nitrones

A comparative study of the regio- and stereo-chemical behaviour of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a series of alkenes with 1-pyrroline 1-oxide and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine 1-oxide has been carried out. The high degree of both regio- and stereochemical control observed in these reactions has been explained in terms of frontier orbital interaction, steric factors, and secondary orbital interaction in the transition state. While most common alkenes (both mono- and 1,1-di-substituted) gave 2-substituted cycloadducts, highly polarized alkene dimethyl methylenemalonate afforded mainly regioisomeric 3-substituted cycloadduct. Significant secondary orbital interaction is observed with the non-conjugated substituents, hydroxymethyl and its derivatives.     

Synthesis of novel pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines from simple acetanilides via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

Some novel isoxazole and pyrazole fused pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines were synthesized from simple acetanilides via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions involving nitrones, nitrile oxides and nitrile imines as 1,3-dipoles, in a regioselective manner.     

Preparation and stereoselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ofD-glucose-derived nitrones to N-arylmaleimides

Summary Nitrones2 derived fromD-glucose oxime and benzaldehydes without employing any protection of hydroxyl group were isolated in pure state. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of2 to N-arylmaleimides gave predominantly theanti isoxazolidines3 and was rationalized byZ/E isomerization of N-glycosylnitrones2. The structure and steric configuration of the products have been assigned on the basis of¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. AM1 calculations of the nitrones and MM2 calculations of the adducts were performed.

Stereocontrolled synthesis of triazacyclopenta[cd]pentalenes by intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine imines

The construction of triazacyclopenta[cd]pentalene diesters 6 by the reaction of dihydropyrrole alpha-ketoesters 3 with acylated hydrazines was evaluated further as a potential central strategic step in the total syntheses of complex guanidine alkaloids such as palau'amine and styloguanidine. Successful cyclocondensations were realized with acid-stable 2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbazate and thiosemicarbazide, but not tert-butyl carbazate. The substituent on the pyrrolidine nitrogen can be alkoxycarbonyl, sulfonyl, or an N-alkyl-2-acylpyrrole group. Siloxy substitution at C1 of the alpha-ketoester side chain is also tolerated.     

Substituted 9-Oxabicyclo[4.2.1]- and 9-Oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (Part II)

The preparation, isolation, structure determination, and some reactions of the two stereoisomers of 2-iodo-9-oxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane ( 9 and 10 ) and of 2-iodo-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonane ( 11 and 12 ), respectively, are described. Iodine cleavage of the [4.2.1]-iodomercuri compound 3 yielded the iodides 9, 10 , and 11 , and iododemercuration of the [3.3.1]-iodomercuri compound 6 afforded the iodo compounds 9, 11 , and 12 , respectively. Direct treatment of 4-cycloocten-1-ol ( 1 ) with iodine in chloroform resulted in the exclusive formation of the two endo-iodides 9 and 11 . Raney nickel treatment as well as lithium aluminium hydride reduction of each índividual iodo compound 9, 10, 11 , and 12 gave the corresponding unsubstituted 9-oxabicyclononane ( 4 or 8 , respectively) with the unaltered skeleton. No rearrangement products could be observed. An oxonium ion is involved as an intermediate in the reaction of the endo-iodides 9 and 11 with silver acetate leading to an identical mixture of the two acetates 15 and 16 as well as in the isomerization of 9 to 11 .

Theoretical study of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones to doubly activated nitriles

The mechanism of 1.3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones (CH₂=N(CH₃)O) to doubly activated nitriles RCN has been comprehensively studied by theoretical quantum-chemical methods for the model compound trans-[PtCl₂(N≡CCH₃)(N≡CCF₃)] as an example. The reaction proceeds by a strongly asynchronous concerted mechanism through the formation of a five-membered cyclic transition state. Studying the effect of a solvent on the process shows that solvation effects inhibit cycloaddition. Double activation of RCN by introducing the electron-withdrawing substituents R = CF₃ followed by coordination to a transition metal is the most promising way to enhance the reactivity of nitriles in cycloaddition reactions.     

Preparation and stereoselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-glycosyl nitrones to N-arylmaleimides

Summary The cycloaddition of 3-hydroxyglycosyl-N-methylnitrone (1) to N-arylmaleimides gave thesyn isoxazolidines6, whereas 3-acetoxyglycosyl-N-methylnitrone (2) afforded theanti isoxazolidines8 and10. The formation of6 was rationalized by anexo attack, stereoelectronically preferred through the hydrogen bond between the pentose hydroxyl group and one of the carbonyl groups of N-arylmaleimide. The sterically preferredendo attack avoiding the repulsions between N-arylmaleimide and sugar moiety was proposed for addition of2. The structure and steric configuration of the products have been assigned on the basis of¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, mainly by nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectroscopy. AM1 calculations of the nitrones and MM2 calculations of the adducts were performed.

Darstellung und Stereoselektivität der 1,3-dipolaren Cycloaddition von C-Glycosyl-Nitronen an N-Arylmaleimiden

Zusammenfassung Die Cycloaddition von 3-Hydroxyglycosyl-N-methylnitron (1) an N-Arylmaleimide gab diesyn-Isoxazolidine6, mit 3-Acetoxyglycosyl-N-methylnitron (2) wurden hingegen dieanti-Isoxazolidine8 und10 erhalten. Die Bildung von6 wurde mit einemexo-Angriff erklärt, der stereoelektronisch wegen einer Wasserstoffbrückenbindung zwischen der Hydroxylgruppe der Pentose und einer Carbonylgruppe des N-Arylmaleimides bevorzugt wird. Für die Addition von2 wurde ein sterisch bevorzugterendo-Angriff vorgeschlagen, da dabei ungünstige Wechselwirkungen zwischen der N-Arylmaleimid- und der Zuckereinheit vermieden werden. Die Struktur und Stereochemie der Produkte wurde mittels¹H- und¹³C-NMR unter Verwendung von NOE-Differenzmessungen ermittelt. Es wurden auch AM1-Rechnungen für die Nitrone und MM2-Rechnungen für die Addukte durchgeführt.

Diastereoselectivity-switchable and highly enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones to alkylidene malonates

Trisoxazoline 1/Co(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O catalyzed the 1,3-cycloaddition between nitrones 3 with alkylidene malonates 2 at 0 degrees C to give the isoxazolidines with both high enantioselectivity and high exo selectivity. However, when the temperature was lowered from 0 to -40 degrees C, the same cycloaddition afforded endo isomers as the major products with good to high enantioselectivity. A mechanism is provided.
