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.

Novel transformations of two kinds of chlorinated photo [2 + 2] cycloadducts of 2-pyrone-5-carboxylate

Novel reactions of 7,7-dichloro- and 7,7,8-trichloro-3-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-4-ene-6-carboxylates 5 with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in alcohol gave pyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2,5-diones 8 via (Z)-(2H-pyran-2-on-3-yl)butenoates 7.

1,3- versus 1,4-[π4+π2] Cycloadditions between methyl glyoxylate oxime and cyclopentadiene or cyclopentene

The acid catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of methyl glyoxylate oxime with cyclopentadiene (CPD) afforded the corresponding aza-Diels–Alder adducts, the endo and exo isomers of (±)-methyl 2-hydroxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-3-carboxylates, and as the major product a 1,3-cycloadduct, methyl (1RS,4RS,5RS)-(2-oxa-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-ene)-4-carboxylate. The similar reaction using cyclopentene (CP) provided only the 1,3-cycloadduct methyl (1SR,4RS,5SR)-(2-oxa-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane)-4-carboxylate. The influence of various parameters on the reaction outcome was studied and, based on the results obtained, a mechanism for the formation of both 1,3- and 1,4-cycloadducts is proposed. The structure of all adducts was confirmed by NMR spectroscopic data and/or by X-ray crystallography.

2,3,7‐Triazabicyclo[3.3.0]octenes Prepared by Tandem Cascade Reaction of Allyl Azides and Olefinic Dipolarophiles

Tandem cascade reactions of allylazides and olefinic dipolarophiles to give cis‐fused 2,3,7‐triazabicyclo [3.3.0]octenes ( 5, 6 or 7 ) are reported. Therein, an intermolecular dipolar cycloaddition of azide and alkene gave a triazoline which was followed by isomerization of the triazoline to a diazoester ( 4 ) and then an intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition from the diazo functional group and the double bond in 4 to give 5 . Compound 5 may further more undergo a Michael addition to give 7‐substituted‐ 2,3,7‐ triazabicyclo [3.3.0]oct‐2‐ene ( 6 ) or a tautomerization to give 2,3,7‐triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct‐3‐ene ( 7 ). The reaction may be manipulated to stop at a particular stage by adopting a suit able solvent or an appropriate temperature.     

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.     

Synthesis and total 1H- and 13C-NMR assignment of cephem derivatives for use in ADEPT approaches

We report the synthesis and total NMR characterization of 5-thia-1-azabicyclo-[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[[[(4'-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]oxy]-methyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]-diphenylmethyl ester-5-dioxide (5), a new cephalosporin derivative. This compound can be used as the carrier of a wide range of drugs containing an amino group. The preparation of the intermediate product, 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[methyl 4-(6-methoxyquinolin-8-ylamino)pentylcarbamate]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]-diphenylmethyl ester-5-dioxide (6), as well as the synthesis of the antimalarial primaquine prodrug 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[methyl 4-(6-methoxyquinolin-8-ylamino)pentylcarbamate]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]- 5-dioxide (7) are also described, together with their total (1)H- and (13)C-NMR assignments.     

Rh(I)-catalyzed Pauson-Khand reaction of 1-phenylsulfonyl-1,2-octadien-7-yne derivatives

The Rh(I)-catalyzed PKR of 1-phenylsulfonyl-1,2-octadien-7-ynes and their aza derivatives exclusively produced the corresponding 9-phenylsulfonylbicyclo[4.3.0]nona-1,6-dien-8-ones and no 4-(phenylsulfonylmethylidene)bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones could be detected. Thus, the ring-closing pattern was found to be the same as those of the previously reported 3-phenylsulfonyl-1,2-octadien-7-yne derivatives. However, the formation of 4-(phenylsulfonylmethylidene)-7-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones was observed as a minor product when the 5-oxa congeners were used. In addition, a larger ring-sized product, 10-phenylsulfonyl-5-azabicyclo[5.3.0]deca-1,7-dien-9-one derivative, was obtained from the 6-aza derivative of 1-phenylsulfonyl-1,2-nonadien-8-yne.     

A structural, theoretical and coordinative evaluation of the bicyclic guanidinate derived from 1,4,6-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-4-ene

Partial deprotonation of the bicyclic guanidine 1,4,6-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-4-ene (Htbo) is achieved using (n)BuLi. Isolation of the resulting lithium salts has resulted in the structural characterization of the mixed anion complex {[Li(tbo)()(tboH)](2)}(infinity) (where -H = 1-(2-aminoethyl)-2-imidazolidinethione) and the partially deprotonated salt Li(6)(tbo)(6)(Htbo)(3), . The neutral guanidine Htbo reacts cleanly with AlMe(3) and ZnMe(2) to afford the organometallic complexes [Al(tbo)Me(2)](2) [](2), and Zn(3)(tbo)(4)Me(2) (). Structural characterization of these compounds enables comparison between the {5:5}-bicyclic system, [tbo](-), and the previously reported {6:6}-bicyclic system, [hpp](-) (where hppH = 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine). Results indicate that delocalization within the [tbo](-) anion is restricted to the CN(2) amidinate component, with retention of electron density in the non-bonding nitrogen lone-pair. These conclusions are supported by a DFT analysis of the neutral guanidines, Htbo and hppH.

Methyl 1-aryl-3-aroyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates reacted with 1,3-diphenylguanidine to give the corresponding 6-aryl-9-aroyl-8-hydroxy-2-imino-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,6-triazaspiro[4.4]non-8-ene-4,7-diones. The molecular and crystalline structures of 9-benzoyl-8-hydroxy-2-imino-6-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,6-triazaspiro[4.4]non-8-ene-4,7-dione were determined by X-ray analysis.     

A method for synthesis of bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones from cyclobutanones with one-carbon ring expansion and its application to a formal synthesis of racemic 1-desoxyhypnophilin

A method for synthesis of 2-cyanobicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones and 2-substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1-en-3-ones was developed by assembly of three components, cyclobutanones, chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, and nitriles, with one-carbon ring expansion of the cyclobutane ring. As an application of this method, a formal synthesis of 1-desoxyhypnophilin in racemic form was performed starting from 3,3-di(phenylthiomethyl)cyclobutanone.
