Synthesis and Dehydration of endo-2-(3-R-Isoxazol-5-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-exo-2-ols

endo-2-Ethynyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-exo-2-ol reacts with nitrile oxides, yielding endo-2-(3-R-isoxazol-5-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-exo-2-ols. Treatment of the latter with methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine leads to dehydration and formation of mixtures of the corresponding 1-(3-R-isoxazol-5-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes and 2-(3-R-isoxazol-5-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes at a ratio of 2:1.

At a dose level of 12.5 mg/kg, compounds 16 and 14 show a significant anticonvulsant protection against pentylenetetrazole seizures (100% and 83% protection, respectively) compared with diphenylhydantoin sodium (50 mg/kg, 100%) and deramciclane fumarate (25 mg/kg, 83%), used as reference drugs. Compound 10b at dose level of 50 mg/kg displayed 41%, hypoglycemic activity, compared with gliclazide (10 mg/kg, 23%) as reference drug. Furthermore, the prepared compounds are screened for their anti-inflammatory potential at a dose level of 50 mg/kg. Compounds 10i, 10g, 14 and 10m exhibited 92%, 90%, 88% and 80% inhibition in rat paw weight, respectively, with no sign of ulcerogenicity, compared with indomethecin (5 mg/kg, 81%).

A reaction of (1R,4S)-1,7,7-trimethyl-3-[(S)-α-methylbenzylimino]bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one with lithium tetrachloropalladate gave a chiral palladium(II) complex with monodentate coordination of the organic ligand. The structure of the complex was confirmed by NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction data.

Reductions of (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones and their analogues

Reductions of (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones and their lactone analogues, prepared from (1R)-(+)-camphor, were studied. Catalytic hydrogenation selectively led to partial saturation of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine residue, while in reactions with borane–methylsulfide coordination of borane to the 1-position of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine system took place. On the other hand, activation of the carbonyl group in (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones with boron trifluoride etherate followed by reaction with borane–methylsulfide furnished the corresponding isoborneols, stereoselectively. The structures of all representative compounds were confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Treatment of 7-oxa[2.2.1]hericene ( 4 ) with Fe₂(CO)₉ or (cyclooctene)₂Fe(CO)₃ gave a 1:2 mixture of cis-μ-[(2R,3S,5R,6S)-] ( 12 ) and trans-μ-[(2R,3S,5S,6R)-C,2,3,C-η:C,5,6,C-η-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-7-one)]bis(tricarbonyliron)( 13 ).

The Non-planarity of the Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene Double bond. Crystal Structures of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene,Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene,and Bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene Systems

The crystal structures of (1R,4R,5S,8S)-9,10-dimethylidentricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undec2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 3 ), (1R,4R,5S,8S)11-isopropylidene-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.1.m^2,7]undec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 6 ), (1R,4R,5S8S)-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 9 ), (1R4R5S8S)-TRICYCLO[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7), 9-diene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 12 ) and (4R,5S)-tricyclo[6.1.1.0^2.7]dec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ( 16 ) were established by X-ray diffraction. The alkyl substituents onto the endocyclic bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond deviate from the C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), plane by 13.5°4 in 3 and by 13.9° in 6 , leaning toward the endo-face. No such out-of-plane deformations were observed with the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene derivatives 9 and 12 . The exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moieties in 3, 6 and 9 do not deviate significantly from planarity. The deviation from planarity of the double bond n bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives and planarity in bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene analogues is shown to be general by analysis of all known structures in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data File. The non-planarity of the bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond cannot be attributed only to bond-angle deformations which would favour rehybridizatoin of the olefinic C-atoms since the double bond in the more strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene drivative 16 deviates from planarity by less than 4°.     

Chiral exo-Alkylidenecyclopentanes from (1S,4R)-7,7-Dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one

(1S,4R)-7,7-Dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one oxime in the system (CF₃CO)₂O-CF₃COOH and (1S,4R)-1-(1,2-dibromoethyl)-7,7-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one in the system MeONa-MeOH undergo fragmentation to give exo-alkylidenecyclopentane derivatives, (4R)-4-cyanomethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-[(1E)-trifluoroacetoxyethylidene]cyclopentane and isomeric (4R)-4-carboxymethyl-1-[(1ZE)-2-methoxyethylidene]-5,5-dimethylcyclopentanes, respectively. The trifluoroacetate derivative undergoes unusual rearrangement, yielding an equilibrium mixture of two isomers with endo- and exocyclic double bond.     

Absolute Configuration of 3-Substituted 1-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes

The l-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-exo-ol ( 2 ) was resolved by fractional crystallisation of its hydrogen tartrate salts. The enantiomers (+)- and (?)- 2 were oxidised to the ketones (?)- 4 and (+)- 4 , respectively (Scheme). CD spectroscopy suggested that (?)- 4 possesses the (1R,4S)-configuration. This absolute configuration was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the derivative (+)-(1R,4R)-3-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-1-azabicyclo [2.2.1]-heptane ((+)- 5 ).     

Oxidation of camphor ethylene dithioacetal

(1R,1′R,2S,4R)-1,7,7-Trimethylspiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2′-[1,3]dithiolane] 1′-oxide, (1R,2S,3′R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylspiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2′-[1,3]dithiolane] 1′,1′,3′-trioxide, and (1R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylspiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2′-[1,3]dithiolane] 1′,1′,3′,3′-tetraoxide were synthesized by oxidation of camphor ethylene dithioacetal with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid at different substrate-tooxidant ratios. The structure of the products was proved by IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of chiral benzoacridinone derivatives by three-component condensation of [(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>,4<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene]acetaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine and cyclic β-diketones

Three-component condensation of [(1S,4S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene]acetaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine and cyclic β-diketones gave 7-[(1S,4S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidenemethyl]-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-7H-benzo[c]acridin-8-one derivatives possessing three or more asymmetric carbon atoms. Steric factors were found to be responsible for the predominant formation of the (7R)-isomers (R/S ≈ 7: 5) and orientation of substituents in the cyclohexenone fragment. The same factors determined complete regioselectivity of the reaction with methyl 2,4-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylates as dicarbonyl component, which led to exclusive formation of methyl 8-oxobenzoacridine-11-carboxylates. In the reaction of [(1S,4S)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene]acetaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine and barbituric acid as dicarbonyl component, the only product was that formed by two-component condensation of barbituric acid with bicyclic aldehyde.     

Photochemistry of α-oxo-oximes—VI: Irradiation of 3-ethoxyimino-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one

The photolysis of 3-ethoxyimino-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one 1 with λ 254 nm has been investigated in acetonitrile as solvent. Photoexcited 1 undergoes N-O bond homolysis with formation of a cyclic α-oxo-iminyl and an ethoxy radical. Cage recombination of these radicals affords the ethyl cyanocyclopentanecarboxylate 9. The formation of the products 6–8 is explained by decarbonylation of the α-oxo-iminyl radical, followed by disproportionation and H-abstraction. The occurrence of the α-oxo-iminyl radical and (by loss of CO) the tertiary cyanocyclopentyl radical is substantiated by an ESR photoexperiment in the presence of 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane.     

A Convenient Stereoselective Synthesis of (1R,2S,3R,4S)-3-(Neopentyloxy)isoborneol

A convenient preparation of (1R,2S,3R,4S)-3-(neopentyloxy)isoborneol (= (1R,2S,3R,4S)-3-(2,2-dimethyl-propoxy)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol; 1a ), a valuable chiral auxiliary, is described. The synthesis involves six steps starting from the readily available camphorquinone ( 5 ) and gives 1a in 48% overall yield. The key step is the chemoselective hydrolysis of the less hindered 1,3-dioxolane moiety in the camphorquinone di-acetal 4 .

The endocyclic double bond C(2), C(3) in 5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-2-ene ( 1 ) can he coordinated selectively on its exo-face before complexation of the exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moiety. Irradiation of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ or Os₃(CO)₁₂ in the presence of 1 gave tetracarbonyl [(1R,2R, 3S,4S)-2,3-η-(5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-2-ene)]ruthenium ( 6 ) or -osmium ( 8 ). Similarly, irradiation of Cr(CO)₆ or W(CO)₆ in the presence of 1 gave pentacarbonyl[(1R, 2R, 3S,4S)-2,3-η-(5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene)]chromium (10) or -tungsten (11) . Irradiation of complexes 6 and 11 in the presence of 1 led to further CO substitution giving bed-tricarbonyl-ae-bis[(1R,2R,3S,4S)-2,3-η-(5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene)]ruthenium ( 7 ) and trans-tetracarbonyl[(1R,2R,3S,4S)-2,3-η-(5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]hept-2-ene)]tungsten (12) , respectively. The diosmacyclobutane derivative cis-m?-[(1R,3R,3S,4S)-(5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,3-diyl)]bis(tetracarbonyl-osmium) (Os-Os) (9) wa also obtained. The Diels-Alder reactivity of the exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moiety in complexs 7 and 8 was found to be significantly higher than that of the free triene 1 .     

Optical resolution of 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-21-ene derivatives. Diastereoselectivity in the formation of cyanohydrine-brucine complexes

A new, practical method for the optical resolution of bicyclic ketones if illusttrated by the preparation of (+)-(1R,4R)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]bept-5-en-2-one ((+)- 1 ) and (+)-(1R, 2S,4R)-2-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yul acetate ((+)- 4 ). It involves the diastereoselective formation of a brucine complex with the corresponding cyanhydrine mixture.     

Syntheses and tandem Diels-Alder reactivities of 7,7-diphenyl-[2.2.1]hericene (= 7-(diphenylmethylidene)-2,3,5,6- tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) and 7-oxa[2.2.1]hericene ( = 2,3,5,6-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-7-one)

Syntheses of 7,7-diphenyl[2.2.1]hericene ( 4 ) and 7-oxa[2.2.1]hericene ( 5 ) are presented. Rate constants k₁ and k₂ of the two successive Diels-Alder additions of ethylenetetracarbonitrile (TCE) to 4 and to 5 have been evaluated. At 25° in toluene, the rate-constant ratio k₁/k₂ = 260 and 21 for 4 and 5 , respectively. These results are compared with those reported for the tandem Diels-Alder reactivity of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and other derivatives.     

Acid-Catalyzed Transformations of 2-(Phenylethynyl)isoborneol

2-(Phenylethynyl)isoborneol was synthesized by treatment of camphor with lithium phenylacetylide. Skeletal rearrangements of the title compound under the Ritter reaction conditions afforded a mixture of N-(4-phenylethynyl- and 4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamides at a ratio of 8:3. The reaction of 2-(phenylethynyl)isoborneol with formic acid involved mainly Meyer-Schuster rearrangement instead of the expected Rupe rearrangement, and the major product was 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone. The minor product (∼6%) was 1-(2-hydroxy-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)-2-phenylethanone. The Ritter reaction of 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone selectively yielded N-(4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamide.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 853–858.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Koval’skaya, Kozlov, Dikusar.
