Unexpected 1,2,3-triazole formation in the reaction of diethylaluminum azide with α′-amino-α,β-unsaturated ketones

4-Acyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles are formed from diethylaluminum azide and α′-(N,N-dibenzylamino)-α,β-unsaturated ketones by [3+2] cycloaddition of azide, followed by 1,5 hydride transfer to the β carbon of the triazoline side chain and fragmentation of the tertiary amino group promoted by coordination of the latter to the Lewis acid. The structure of a triazole product is confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

peri-Naphthylenediamines. 36. 5,6-Bis(dimethylamino)acenaphthylene in [4+2] cycloaddition reactions. Synthesis and characteristic features of protonation of “proton sponges” with the 8,9-diazafluoranthene structure

5,6-Bis(dimethylamino)acenaphthylene is readily involved in [4+2] cycloaddition reactions with symm-tetrazine derivatives to form new proton sponges with the diazafluoranthene skeleton. Under analogous condition, 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)-4-vinylnaphthalene gave 4-pyridazinyl derivatives. The relative reactivities of 5,6-bis(dimethylamino)acenaphthylene, 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)-4-vinylnaphthalene, 5-dimethylaminoacenaphthylene, and acenaphthylene in the reactions with 3,6-diphenyl-symm-tetrazine are in a ratio of 32 : 17 : 14 : 1. The site of protonation of 3,4-bis(dimethylamino)-7,10-diphenyl-8,9-diazafluoranthene is controlled by the basicity of the solvent. The reaction in acetonitrile afforded the cation stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond, whereas the reaction in dimethyl sulfoxide gave rise to the resonance-stabilized cation. 6,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenalen-1-one was protonated only at the carbonyl group.     

Synthesis of stable azomethine ylides by the rearrangement of 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2-oxides with DMAD

1-Aryl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were prepared according to a one-pot procedure involving the reaction of 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethylamine with aromatic aldehydes in TFA at reflux. The tetrahydroisoquinolines were treated with H₂O₂-WO₄²⁻ in methanol at room temperature to give the corresponding 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2-oxides. Treatment of these cyclic nitrones with DMAD in toluene at room temperature gave the corresponding isoxazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolines. These compounds were heated in toluene at reflux to give the corresponding ylides in high yields (Method A). The effect of the substituents on the rate of the rearrangement of such compounds prompted us to discuss a new mechanism involving consecutive C-C bond heterolysis and 1,3-sigmatropic shift. A one-pot reaction involving the treatment of the nitrones with equimolar amounts of DMAD in refluxing toluene also gave the ylides (Method B). The structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated by spectral means and elemental analyses.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition in the synthesis of pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides

A new approach to the synthesis of polyfunctional pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides was developed based on the presynthesized pyrazole derivatives prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The structures of the resulting mono-and biradicals were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Dedicated to Academician A. L. Buchachenko on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Triazole: the Keystone in Glycosylated Molecular Architectures Constructed by a Click Reaction

The copper(I)‐catalyzed modern version of the Huisgen‐type azide–alkyne cycloaddition to give a 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazole unit is introduced as a powerful ligation method for glycoconjugation. Owing to its high chemoselectivity and tolerance of a variety of reaction conditions, this highly atom‐economic and efficient coupling reaction is especially useful for the effective construction of complex glycosylated structures such as clusters, dendrimers, polymers, peptides, and macrocycles. In all cases the triazole ring plays a key role by locking into position the various parts of these molecular architectures. The examples reported and briefly discussed in this short review highlight the use of this reaction in carbohydrate chemistry and pave the way to further developments and applications.     

Syntheses of seven-membered rings: ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular [5+2] cycloadditions

The Ru-catalyzed intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition of cyclopropylenynes is investigated with respect to the regio- and diastereoselectivity as well as the functional group compatibility of the reaction. Evidence for the mechanism as occurring through a ruthenacyclopentene intermediate is elucidated from 1) the study of the diastereoselectivity of the cycloaddition; 2) the effect of variation of substituents on the regioselectivity of cyclopropyl bond cleavage in 1,2-trans- and 1,2-cis-disubstituted cyclopropanes and 3) examples that clearly do not involve ruthenacyclohexene as intermediates as products still incorporate the cyclopropyl moiety. The scope and limitations of the Ru-catalyzed cycloaddition are discussed and compared with the Rh-catalyzed reaction. The potential power of this methodology towards natural product total synthesis is demonstrated by the formation of several polycyclic systems with the chosen reaction conditions and readily available cyclopropylenyne substrates.     

Synthesis of fused bicyclic pyridines with microwave-assisted intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition of acetylenic pyrimidines

A series of acetylenic pyrimidines was synthesized and subjected to microwave irradiation. In contrast to conventional heating, the microwave irradiations generally gave clean conversion to fused bicyclic pyridines for all substrates reported with shorter reaction time. This method has been successfully applied to the synthesis of both fused lactones and lactams.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of an (N-Protected amino)-β-lactam Derivative of 1,5-Benzothiazepine

1 INTRODUCTION 1,5-Benzothiazepines are a kind of compounds which have important biological activitives[1, 2]. Cycloaddition reactions of their active C=N bond with ketene permit the construction of new -lactam ring. The -lactam moiety is the main part of the antibiotics such as penicillins. So the product of this reaction possesses two active centers and can be beneficial to pharmaceutical research. In this paper we have achieved the asymmetric ketene-imine cycloadditions employing the…
