Twofold Brook rearrangement-mediated tandem reactions of δ-silyl-γ,δ-epoxy-α,β-unsaturated acylsilanes with a cyanide ion

Reaction of δ-silyl-γ,δ-epoxy-α,β-unsaturated acylsilanes with KCN in the presence of chloro or cyanoformates gives highly functionalized dienol silyl ether derivatives via a twofold Brook rearrangement-induced tandem sequence.     

The rearrangement of some cyclopentanone-aryloximes: synthesis of (±)-aplysin, (±)-filiformin and of their debromo analogues.

Upon acid catalyzed rearrangement after Sheradsky, the aryloximes A gave the tricyclic aminals C, which suffered hydrolysis to lactols E. The unique alcohol 29 was then prepared through a highly stereoselective equilibration-reductive alkylation of the epimeric mixture of lactols 22a,b. Two routes, one of which was stereospecific, allowed cyclization of 29 to (±)-aplysin 34. The yield was 2.5 % from oximes 2a,b. The isomeric epi-aplysin 35 and filiformin 36 were also obtained from 29. The debromo analogues 37,38 and 39 and their trideutero derivatives 41,42 and 43 were synthesized along similar line and allowed unequivocal structure elucidation by NMR spectroscopy.     

Unexpected valence bond isomerization of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazines under flash vacuum pyrolytic (fvp) conditions

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (fvp) of some substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (1a-d) has been studied between 450 and 600 °C. The only transformation observed up to 525 °C was the unexpected valence bond isomerization of the angularly fused starting compounds to the isomeric linearly fused [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (9a-d), whereas at higher temperatures fragmentation products such as aromatic nitriles were also formed. Kinetic measurements revealed negative entropies of activation in the isomerization process, which suggest a concerted ring closure reaction to an intermediate antiaromatic diazirine. Reversibiblity of the title isomerization reaction was also proved by FVP experiments.     

Synthesis of thieno[3.2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyrrolenine derivatives under the Fischer reaction conditions

The reaction of alkyl 4-(2-acetylhydrazino)-2-methyl-3-thiophenecarboxylates with 3-methylbutan-2-one was carried out under the Fischer reaction conditions. The influence of Lewis acids and solvents on the process was studied. A convenient method for the synthesis of thieno [3.2-b]pyrrolenine derivatives was proposed.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Construction of vicinal quaternary carbon atoms by Ireland ester Claisen rearrangement: total synthesis of (±)-herbertenolide, (±)-herberteneacetal, (±)-herbertene-1,14-diol and (±)-herbertene-1,15-diol

Efficient total syntheses of the herbertane sesquiterpene title compounds have been accomplished employing an Ireland ester Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis reaction sequence based strategy for the construction of two stereogenic vicinal quaternary carbon atoms on a cyclopentane.     

α-Trifluoroacetyl-δ-valerolactone: synthesis, acyl-lactone rearrangement and unexpected easy decarboxylation of the rearranged product

Claisen condensation of δ-valerolactone and ethyl trifluoroacetate leads to α-trifluoroacetyl-δ-valerolactone, existing completely in CDCl₃ solution as an enol. Upon treatment of this cyclic 1,3-ketoester with aqueous HCl, an acyl-lactone rearrangement takes place. The structure of the resulting pyran was confirmed by an X-ray analysis. The ability of the rearrangement product to lose its carboxylic group under unexpected mild conditions was used for the synthesis of the corresponding 3-unsubstituted cyclic hemi-ketal.     

1, 5-Rearrangement of enol acylates of aryl 1H.-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-ylmethyl ketones

The rearrangement of enol acylates of aryl 1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-ylmethyl ketones at 140–150°C in acetic anhydride is studied. The migration of the acyl group to the C(5) atom of the heterocycle is found to be intramolecular. The characteristics of the original and final products are presented. X-ray structural studies of the enol acetates of 2, 4-dichlorophenyl 1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-ylmethyl ketone and 2, 4-dichlorophenyl 5-acetyl-1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-ylmethyl ketone are carried out.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Neurosteroid analogues: synthesis of 6-aza-allopregnanolone

An efficient synthesis of 6-azapregnane derivatives and their biological activity is described. The nitrogen was introduced into the B ring using Beckmann rearrangement of the (E)-oxime of 6-oxo-B-nor-5α-pregnane derivatives. The required 3α-hydroxyl was produced either by solvolysis of the corresponding 3β-mesyloxy group or by the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of the 3-oxo group; this reduction could be carried out selectively with an unprotected 3,20-dioxo derivative. The binding of the 6-aza-steroids to the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABA_A) was measured using [³⁵S]-tert-butyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]phosphorothionate (TBPS) and [³H]flunitrazepam. The only analogue to be slightly active was that lacking any oxygen function in position 3.     

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 …
