Ring expansion of 4,4-diethyl-1,2-dithiolane in the reaction with butylacetylene. Involvement of anion and radical intermediates

The action of lithium butyl acetylenide in THF causes 4,4-diethyl-1,2-dithiolane to undergo ring-opening to form 2,2-diethyl-4-thia-5-decyne-1-thiol, which cyclizes to give 2-butyl-6,6-diethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiepin by either a homolytic or a nucleophilic mechanism.

6-Arylamino-3-methyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines: Novel N-Arylamidine Structures

We propose a method for obtaining derivatives of 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine by alkylation of 4-amino-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol by substituted -chloroacetanilides, followed by cyclization of the intermediate by phosphorus oxychloride.     

Thermal Analysis of Acrylonitrile Polymerization and Cyclization in the Presence of N,N-Dimethylformamide

This paper examines the polymerization of acrylonitrile to poly(acrylonitrile)(PAN), and its cyclization, in bulk form and using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent in which both monomer and polymer are soluble. Thermal analysis of the resultant products after polymerization has been performed by DSC and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Scanning electron microscopy has been used to study the morphology of the resultant products and after thermal treatments. The DSC thermal curve of PAN-DMF sample is quite different from the PAN bulk sample, showing a single sharp exothermic peak associated with nitrile group polymerization (cyclization) of PAN at lower temperature (240°C) than that of bulk PAN sample (314°C). Cyclization of PAN was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. It was found that the amide molecules are difficult to eliminate completely in the product obtained after the polymerization reaction, even after prolonged heating at 110°C, and remain occluded. The formation of a complex by dipolar bonding is also possible and it is discussed. It is concluded that the amount of heat evolved as well as the temperature interval over which it is released are influenced by the chemical processing of PAN when using DMF as solvent of both monomer and polymer. Pyrolysis of these PAN samples revealed the release of occluded molecules of DMF, and several compounds containing nitrogen produced from the thermal degradation processes. All these results are interesting to know the chemical processing of carbon fibres and activated carbon fibres from PAN modified precursors.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Stereodivergent total asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines via tandem allylic epoxidation and intramolecular cyclization reactions

Epoxidation of the allylic alcohols 10 and 11 using the VO(acac)₂/t-BuOOH system followed by an intramolecular 5-exo cyclization of the resulting δ-epoxycarbamates 12, 13, 18, and 19 has been shown to provide a general and efficient solution for the asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxy pyrrolidines. The requisite vicinal amino alcohol functionality was enantio-/regio-selectively installed by the Os-catalyzed asymmetric aminohydroxylation reaction of the designed achiral olefin 6.     

Titanocene(III) mediated radical cyclization of α-bromo carbonyl compounds: synthesis of tri-substituted tetrahydrofurans

A novel and efficient methodology has been developed for the construction of synthetically important tri-substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives from bromo-alkenes and bromo-alkynes by radical cyclization reactions using the radical initiator Cp₂TiCl, generated in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride and Zn dust in tetrahydrofuran under argon.     

The Mechanism on Cyclization, Debenzylation and Oxidation of 1-[1-（Benzyloxy）-3-methylnaphthalen-4-yloxy]propan-2-one

Mansonone compounds represent a series of naturally occurring o-quinones mainly isolated from the heartwood of Mansonia Altissima1 and Ulmus Glabra2. Mansonone F contained oxaphenalene skeleton which was a relatively novel structure and rarely existed in …

Synthesis of phthalide derivatives using nickel-catalyzed cyclization of o-haloesters with aldehydes

The reaction of o-bromobenzoate (1 b) with benzaldehyde (2 a) in the presence of [NiBr(2)(dppe)] (dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) and zinc powder in THF (24 hours, reflux temperature), afforded 3-phenyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (3 a) in an 86 % yield. Similarly, o-iodobenzoate reacts with 2 a to give 3 a, but in a lower yield (50 %). A series of substituted aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes (2 b, 4-MeC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 c, 4-MeOC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 d, 3-MeOC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 e, 2-MeOC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 f, 4-CNC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 g, 4-(Me)(3)CC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 h, 4-C(6)H(5)C(6)H(4)CHO; 2 i, 4-ClC(6)H(4)CHO; 2 j, 4-CF(3)C(6)H(4)CHO; 2 k, CH(3)(CH(2))(5)CHO; 2 l, CH(3)(CH(2))(2)CHO) also underwent cyclization with o-bromobenzoate (1 b) producing the corresponding phthalide derivatives in moderate to excellent yields and with high chemoselectivity. Like 1 b, methyl 2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzoate (1 c) reacts with tolualdehyde (2 b) to give the corresponding substituted phthalide 3 m in a 71 % yield. The methodology can be further applied to the synthesis of six-membered lactones. The reaction of methyl 2-(2-bromophenyl)acetate (1 d) with benzaldehyde under similar reaction conditions afforded six-membered lactone 3 o in a 68 % yield. A possible catalytic mechanism for this cyclization is also proposed.     

Targeting of Single‐Stranded Oligonucleotides through Metal‐Induced Cyclization of Short Complementary Strands

A new strategy to cyclize short synthetic oligonucleotides on DNA or RNA target strands is described. The approach is based on metal‐templated cyclization of short synthetic oligonucleotides conjugated with two chelating 2,2′ : 6′,2′′‐terpyridine (Tpy) moieties at their 3′‐ and 5′‐ends. Cyclization after metal addition (Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺) was demonstrated by means of thermal‐denaturation experiments, MALDI‐Q‐TOF‐MS, and gel electrophoresis (PAGE). 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR Experiments were performed to analyze the association of complementary strands after metal‐mediated cyclization. Our protocol allows the efficient circularization of synthetic oligonucleotides. Thereby, the hybridization on a complementary strand was more efficient with an RNA target strand and a 2′‐O‐methylated circularized oligomer.
