Dearomatization of furans via [2,3]-Still-Wittig rearrangement

Furans and benzofurans of type 1 were dearomatized via the [2,3]-Still-Wittig rearrangement. Enol ethers 2 could be isolated or isomerized to the corresponding furans 3. The substitution pattern at the homofuranylic position had a strong influence on reaction behavior. Benzofurans rearranged with the greatest efficiency, and employment of a 3-substituted benzofuran (1; R′=CH₃) allowed the creation of a quaternary carbon center.     

Lewis acid mediated [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides

An investigation of the Lewis acid mediated [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides has been conducted by employing various bases and boron Lewis acids. Using BBr₃ together with the phosphazene base 6, various allylic amines could be rearranged in good yields with low to excellent diastereoselectivity.     

[2,3]-Wittig rearrangement by a chlorine-lithium exchange

The reaction of different allylic chloromethyl ethers 1 with an excess of lithium powder (1:7 molar ratio) and a catalytic amount of DTBB (2.5 mol %) in THF at 0 °C for 1 h gives, after hydrolysis with water, the expected alcohols 2 resulting from a [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement, in an exclusive manner. The same process can also be applied to the corresponding [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement, as it is exemplified for benzyl chloromethyl ether.     

Ring expansion of trans-divinyl ethylene oxide by oxonium ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement

Oxonium ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of trans-divinyl ethylene oxide is observed upon its exposure to ethyl or t-butyl diazoacetate in the presence of either Rh(II) or Cu(II) catalysts to produce cis-6-vinyl-3,6-dihydropyran-2-carboxylates.     

A concise synthesis of functionalized 2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-b], [3,2-c], and [2,3-b]pyridines

A strategy for the efficient and rapid one-pot synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-b], [3,2-c], and [2,3-b]pyridines from readily available o-nitropicolines and aromatic aldehydes is described. The key transformation involves reaction of o-nitropicolines with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of TBAF and Hünig's base giving rise to functionalized products having molecular complexity suitable for further manipulation.     

Synthesis and Ring Transformation of Pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine to Pyrrolo[2,3-d]Pyrimidines

A convenient route is reported for the synthesis of fused pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine and pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine derivatives from 2-amino-1-benzyl-3-t-butoxycarbonyl]-4,5-dimethylpyrrole.     

Total synthesis of (+)-eupomatilone 2 via asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement of highly oxygenated biphenylmethyl ethers

We have achieved the total synthesis of (±)- and (+)-eupomatilone 2 isolated from the Australian shrub Eupomatia bennettii. The key reaction was an asymmetric [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement employing a bis(oxazoline) chiral ligand. Although the highly oxygenated biphenylmethyl ether exhibited considerably lowered enantioselectivity as compared with the non-substituted biphenylmethyl ether, the selectivity was improved to 89% ee by using n-BuLi and ether as the base and the co-solvent, respectively.     

Studies on the deprotonation and subsequent [1,4]-Wittig rearrangement of α-benzyloxyallylsilanes

Upon exposure to s-BuLi, benzyloxyallylsilane undergoes an unusually rapid and efficient [1,4]-Wittig rearrangement. Herein we describe efforts aimed at trapping the intermediate α-carbanion with an electrophile prior to rearrangement. The results of these experiments indicate that α-deprotonation and bond reorganization are separate events. Findings herein further indicate that the future success of benzyloxyallylsilanes in [1,4]-Wittig rearrangements will likely hinge on the acidity of the benzylic protons.     

Studies on triacetic acid lactone-annulated heterocycles: synthesis of 3-aryloxyacetyl-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyran-4-ones by tandem cyclization

The hitherto unreported 3-aryloxyacetyl-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyran-4-ones were synthesized in 62–71% yield by the sulfoxide rearrangement of 4-(4′-aryloxybut-2′-ynylthio)-6-methyl-2-pyrone.

The separation of the isomers A and B under the sulfamide form was carried out by flash column chromatography. Subsequent transformations of the corresponding dioxinopyridine derivatives were described.

Abstract

The synthesis of acetic 2-{[1-methyl-2-(4-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo [4,5]-thieno [2,3-d] [1,3-oxazin-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrohenzo[b]thiophene ?3-carboxylic acid anhydride 5 and 2-(oxopropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[4,5] thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 7, has been achieved in three steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo(b]thiophene-3-carboxlate 1 via the reaction with ethyl acetoacetate followed by hydrolysis and acetic anhydride-induced cyclization. The 2-substituent in compound 5 has two functional groups i.e. active methylene and acid anhydride which are suitably located for intramolecular transformation. Thermal and/or base catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 5 afforded 2-(4-acetoxy-(hydroxyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] [1,3]oxazin-4-one 10 and 9 respectively. Treatment of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, aromatic and/or heterocyclic amines induced the same intramolecular cyclization with a concomitant oxazine-pyrimidine interconversion to give 3-amino(aryl or heteryl)-2-(4-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrdhydrobenzo-[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-d] pyrimid in-4-one 11–14 respectively.

[1,2]-Wittig rearrangement from chloromethyl ethers

The reaction of different chloromethyl ethers 1 with an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (2.5 mol %) in THF at 0 °C leads to the corresponding α-lithiomethyl ether intermediates, through a chlorine-lithium exchange, which spontaneously undergo a clean [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement affording the expected homobenzylic alcohols 2. This is the first version of this rearrangement starting from easily available chloromethyl ethers.
