Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-Dibromo-3-buten-2-one

Synthetic procedures for the preparation of 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-dibromo-3-buten-2-one are given. These compounds are prepared from 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane, which can readily be prepared from 2-ethyl- 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane. The synthetic routes are as follows: 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane is converted to 2-(1,2-dibromoethyl)-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Double dehydrobromination with ^tBuOK affords 2-ethynyl-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Formolysis with formic acid gives 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one. Deacetalized 2-bromoethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane was treated with Br₂ and Li₂CO₃/12-crown-4 in tetrahydrofuran to give 1,3-dibrom-3-buten-2-one in moderate yield.

Relative reactivities of cyclic ketene acetals via cationic 1,2-vinyl addition copolymerization1

The relationship between the relative reactivities of ten cyclic ketene acetals and their structures was determined via cationic copolymerizations of eight different monomer pairs. Thus, 2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane (1) was copolymerized with 2-methylene-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2), 2-methylene-4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (3), 2-methylene-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolane (4), 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (5), and 2-methylene-4-(t-butyl)-1,3-dioxolane (6). Also 2-methylene-1,3-dioxane (7) was copolymerized with 2-methylene-4-methyl-1,3-dioxane (8), 2-methylene-4,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane (9), and 2-methylene-4-isopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane (10). The relative reactivities of these monomers are: 3 > 5 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 6; and 10 > 9 > 8 > 7. In spite of steric demands, substituents at the 4- or 5-positions in 2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane and substituents at the 4- or 6-positions in 2-methylene-1,3-dioxane serve to increase the copolymerization reactivity. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

New Chiral Diamines of the Dioxolane Series: (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)- 1,3-dioxolane and (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(methyl- aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

The reaction of sodium diphenylamide with 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane gave (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, which was brought into complex formation with cobalt chloride. Treatment of 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane with sodium N-methylanilide resulted in cleavage of the SÄO bond in the p-toluenesulfonate moiety with formation of N-methyl-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide and 4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane disodium salt. Diethyl (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dicarboxylate reacted with methylamine to give the corresponding dicarboxamide which was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane having chiral carbon and nitrogen atoms.     

Cyclic acetal-photosensitized polymerization. VII. Photopolymerization of 2-vinyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane

In order to assess the effect of the methylol group at the 4-position of 1,3-dioxolane on polymerization, the photopolymerization of 2-vinyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (VHDO) was carried out in benzene at 40°C. The reaction scheme of VHDO was considered to be the same as that of 2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane (VDO). The rate of polymerization and the molecular weight of polymer were small because of the degradative chain transfer by allylidene group. Moreover, the rate of polymerization of VHDO was greater than that of VDO, whereas the molecular weight of polymer of VHDO was less than that of VDO.

Radiation-induced postpolymerization of trioxane in the solid state. V. Studies on copolymer composition

Studies on the composition of copolymers obtained by the radiation-induced solid-state postpolymerization of trioxane with 1,3-dioxolane have been carried out. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixtures showed that most of the 1,3-dioxolane disappears rapidly from the reaction system in an early stage of polymerization, and that the fraction of ethylene oxide units in the copolymer chain [E] decreases markedly with increasing polymer yield. This finding was confirmed by NMR spectra of the copolymer. DSC thermograms of the copolymer indicated that the relationship between the melting point and the average composition of copolymers prepared in this study differed from that found for copolymers in which comonomer units are distributed statistically in the polymer chain. It was suggested that the copolymer formed by the radiation-induced solid-state postpolymerization of trioxane–1,3-dioxolane is characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of ethylene oxide units in the copolymer chain. It was also found that, in the radiation-induced solid-state postpolymerization of trioxane–1,3-dioxolane, the amount of tetraoxane formation increased linearly with increasing polymer yield. Although it is extremely small compared with that obtained in solution polymerization, it is slightly larger in the trioxane–1,3-dioxolane system than in the trioxane system.

2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxo-3⁵-imidazolin-1-yloxyl catalyzes oxidation of 2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2-phenyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane, and 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane with 15-crown-5 complexes of potassium chlorodiperoxochromate (KCrO₅Cl·2C₁₀H₂₀O₅) and potassium chlorochromate (KCrO₃Cl·2C₁₀H₂₀O₅). 2-Isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane is oxidized to the corresponding monoester in quantitative yield, and the 2-phenyl derivatives yield benzaldehyde. The spiro ketal, 2,2-pentamethylene-4-methyl-1,3-dioxane, is decomposed to cyclohexanone.

Synthetic studies toward plakortide E: application of the Feldman oxygenation to synthesis of highly substituted 1,2-dioxolanes

The Feldman radical oxygenation of vinylcyclopropanes is successfully applied to the synthesis of the highly substituted core of the 1,2-dioxolane natural product, plakortide E. The ratio of the desired cis-1,2-dioxolane can be enhanced by choice of cyclopropane substituents.     

retro-Cheletropic ene reactions with 2-carbena-1,3-dioxolane as chelefuge

N[β-(Hetero)arylvinyl] ketenimines and carbodiimides bearing adequately positioned 1,3-dioxolane functions experience a new class of tandem process consisting of a 6π electrocyclic ring closure followed by a rare retro-cheletropic ene reaction, the extrusion of 2-carbena-1,3-dioxolane. This mechanistic sequence is supported by a computational study using DFT methods, showing that the simultaneous recovery of aromaticity at two rings is the clue for the low energy barrier of the retro-cheletropic step. Moreover, the highly exergonic decomposition of 2-carbena-1,3-dioxolane into CO₂ plus ethylene contribute to the success of the tandem sequences.     

Tetrahedral intermediates 4. The effect of chloro-substituents on the kinetics of the breakdown of hemiorthoesters

1-Hydroxy-2-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane (4) and 1-hydroxy-2-dichloromethyl-1, 3-dioxolane (5) have been detected as intermediates by¹H NMR spectroscopy in the hydration of respectively 2-chloromethylene-1, 3-dioxolane and 2-dichloromethylene-1, 3-dioxolane in aqueous acetonitrile. The kinetics of the breakdown of (4) and (5) into ethylene glycol monochloroacetate and monodichloroacetate have been studied by uv spectroscopy and values ofk_H+,k_HO-, andk_H2O evaluated. It was found that the introduction of chlorosubstituents into 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1, 3-dioxolane caused a decrease ink_H+ and increase ink_H2O- and little change ink_H2Ofor its breakdown. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed. Present     

Radiation-induced postpolymerization of trioxane in the solid state. IV. Copolymerization of trioxane with dioxolane

The radiation-induced postpolymerization of trioxane with 1,3-dioxolane has been investigated. Trioxane and 1,3-dioxolane were carefully purified in a rigorously dry, high-vacuum system. In the present study it was found that trioxane can be easily copolymerized with 1,3-dioxolane to give a copolymer having high molecular weight and excellent thermal stability. Typically, the isothermal weight loss after heating for 60 minutes under nitrogen at 222°C was 3.5% for a copolymer of trioxane and 1.0 wt-%1,3-dioxolane preirradiated with a dose of 1.0 × 10⁵ Rad. The thermal stability of the copolymer was scarcely affected by the polymerization temperature and time, although it decreased slightly with increasing preirradiation dose. The dependences of the yield and inherent viscosity of the polymer on the preirradiation dosage, polymerization temperature and time were quite similar to those found for the homopolymerization of trioxane. The results were analyzed by using the kinetic scheme previously reported, and it was found that no chain transfer reaction occurs in this system. These results are discussed in comparison with those of homopolymerization reported previously.
