Chlorination features of 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes

The electrophilic chlorine addition to 3-substituted 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]-non-6-enes in the tetrachloromethane is accompanied at an intramolecular 3,7-cyclization giving 6-chloro-3-R-1,5-dinitro-3-azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.03,7]nonane chlorides.

Reactions of Substituted 2,3,7-Triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-enes and 1,2,7-Triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-enes with Halogens

Halogenation of 1-substituted 7-aryl-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones gives different products, depending on the substituent in position 1 (R¹): when R¹ = Ar, 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes are formed, while compounds with R¹ = H or Me give rise to 2- or 4-chloro-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones whose thermolysis leads to formation of the corresponding 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. Chlorination of 7-aryl-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones yields 3-chloro-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones, and thermolysis of the latter affords 1-chloro-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptanes.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 78–88.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Molchanov, Stepakov, Kostikov.     

Modular strategy for the synthesis of functionalized aryl-fused azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes via radical-mediated cascade cyclization

A two-step synthesis of rare 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes is described. N-propargyl amides obtained via Cu(I)-catalyzed three-component coupling, underwent radical-mediated cascade cyclization to afford 5,6-aryl-fused 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes with arylidene functionality on the two-carbon bridge in 43–62% yields. Phenylidene and 1-naphtylidene derivatives were obtained exclusively as Z diastereomers, whereas electron rich groups in the arylidene substituent afforded product mixtures favoring the Z diastereomer by 2.3:1 M ratio.
