Ring strain energies: substituted rings, norbornanes, norbornenes and norbornadienes

Ring strain energies (RSEs) are predicted using homodesmotic reactions at the B3LYP/6-31G^* level of theory. Substituents are conserved in the acyclic reference and any difference in energy between the ring and the acyclic reference corresponds exclusively to RSE. Small rings are stabilized by alkyl substituents and this stabilization decreases as the size of the ring increases. There is a destabilization of medium sized rings. Greater stabilization is found upon alkyl substitution at a double bond in an unsaturated ring and this stabilization decreases as ring size increases. The effects of cis-1,2-disubstitution on RSEs have been evaluated and indicate stabilization for both small and medium sized rings. RSEs of saturated and unsaturated polycyclic systems agree well with the RSEs derived from experimental thermochemical data. RSEs are reported for substituted norbornanes, norbornenes, and norbornadienes to complement experimental studies.     

Stereoselective synthesis of the octahydroisobenzofuran skeleton of the eunicellins

A de novo asymmetric synthesis of the octahydroisobenzofuran skeleton contained within the eunicellin family of natural products has been completed. The key transformations involve the convergent assembly of a tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofuran by condensation of a functionalised allylsiloxane with an aldehyde; controlled epimerisation of a C4 aldehyde by intramolecular trapping; installation of the isopropyl substituent by stereoselective Michael addition to a 5,5-bicyclic enone; and ring expansion of the 5,5-system to the target structure by radical-mediated cyclopropane fragmentation.

Acetyltrimethylsilane mediated synthesis of dihydrophenanthrenes

An easy and efficient synthesis of phenanthrene derivatives through base catalyzed ring transformation of 4-sec-amino-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carbonitriles with acetyltrimethylsilane is described in good yields. The advantage of this reaction is the direct transformation of 2-oxobenzo[h]chromene into phenanthrene via C-C insertion from acetyltrimethylsilane.     

Iodocyclization/base-induced hydrodeiodination reaction of 5-substituted 4-alkenols. The influence of substituent on the stereoselective pathway

The electrophilic iodocyclization reaction of (Z)- and (E)-5-n-alkylsubstituted 4-alken-1-ols followed by base-induced hydrodeiodination reaction stereoselectively gave, respectively, (Z)- and (E)-alkylidentetrahydrofurans in high yield. Completely different outcomes were observed with (Z)- and (E)-6,6-dimethylhept-4-en-1-ol: their iodocyclization furnished, respectively, threo- and erythro-2-(1-iodo-2,2-dimetylpropyl)tetrahydrofuran with high stereoselectivity. The threo isomer gave clean formation of 6-tert-butyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran by base-induced ring expansion, while erythro isomer underwent a base-induced ring contraction to 1-cyclopropyl-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-one. Moreover, (Z)- and (E)-5-cyclopropylpent-4-en-1-ol underwent a 6-endo-iodocyclization to threo- and erythro-2-cyclopropyl-3-iodotetrahydro-2H-pyran, respectively, that under the same basic treatment, gave two isomeric 6-cyclopropyldihydro-2H-pyrans in a stereoselective fashion.     

Untersuchungen von Reaktionsmechanismen durch Isotopenmarkierung,IX Zum Ringverengungsmechanismus von 1,4-Benzthiazin-2,3-4H-dion

By¹⁴C-labeling it is shown that the ring contraction reaction of 1,4-benzothiazin-2,3-4H-dione (1), leading via benzthiazol-2-carbonic acid (2) finally to benzthiazole (3), proceeds via hydrolytic opening of the thiolactone-bond in1, irrespectively of H⁺ or OH^– catalysis.

     

Lewis acid mediated SN2-type nucleophilic ring opening followed by [4+2] cycloaddition of N-tosylazetidines with aldehydes and ketones: synthesis of chiral 1,3-oxazinanes and 1,3-amino alcohols

A highly efficient strategy for Cu(OTf)₂ mediated S_N2-type nucleophilic ring opening followed by [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of enantiopure 2-phenyl-N-tosylazetidines with various aldehydes and ketones afforded a variety of substituted 1,3-oxazinanes and 1,3-amino alcohols in excellent yields, excellent de and good to excellent ee. The proposed S_N2-type mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction is supported by experimental evidence.     

Synthetic studies toward macrocidins: an RCM approach for the construction of the central cyclic core

The central macrocyclic core of the macrocidins was constructed using RCM as the key reaction. A preliminary investigation dealing with the key reactions, that is, the Dieckmann cyclization and the RCM, revealed that RCM of the β-ketoamide is better than RCM of the corresponding acyltetramic acid.     

Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-anatoxin-a via enyne metathesis

A concise synthesis of the potent nAChR agonist (+)-anatoxin-a (1) has been completed by a series of nine chemical operations and in 27% overall yield from commercially available d-methyl pyroglutamate (12). The strategy featured the application of a new protocol for the diastereoselective synthesis of cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines bearing unsaturated side chains and an intramolecular enyne metathesis to provide the bridged bicyclic framework of 1. Thus, d-methyl pyroglutamate (12) was converted in five steps to 32, which underwent facile enyne metathesis to deliver the bicyclic diene 33. Selective oxidative cleavage of the less substituted carbon-carbon double bond in 33 followed by deprotection furnished (+)-anatoxin-a (1).
