分子内环加成的甾体全合成

近年来,分子内环加成反应已广泛用于甾体化合物全合成,其主要一步是由取代的苯并环丁烯热裂而成的5,6-二亚甲基-1,3-环己二烯发生区域专一和立体选择性的环加成反应,构成甾体骨架。现在用此法已合成了一系列消旋和光学活性的甾体化合物。     

Some Conversions of Thiazoline Carboxylic Acid Esters

We have carried out solvolysis of the previously described ethyl esters of 3-methyl(aryl)-4-methyl-2-thioxothiazoline-5-carboxylic acids, leading to the corresponding acids without breaking down the heterocycle. We synthesized a series of novel esters from the latter by treatment with dimethyl sulfate or reactive halides. Of these, only in the case of the ethyl ester of 3,4-dimethyl-2-thioxothiazoline-5-carboxylic acid did we obtain the hydrazinolysis product (the hydrazide), from which we synthesized novel hydrazones by treatment with aldehydes and ketones.     

Composition catalysts of ethylbenzene oxidation based on bis(acetylacetonato)nickel(ii) and phase transfer catalysts as ligands 1. Macrocyclic polyethers

The addition of the macrocyclic polyether 18-Crown-6 (18C6) increases the selectivity of oxidation of ethylbenzene to -phenylethylhydroperoxide (PEH) in the presence of Ni(acac)₂. The initial oxidation rate, selectivity and degree of conversion of ethylbenzene to PEH are greater than those catalyzed by Ni(acac)₂ only. The efficiency of the macrocyclic ligand as an activator of Ni(acac)₂ exceeds that of monodentate donor ligands. The high selectivity of the process is due to both the primary Ni(acac)₂ · 18C6 complexes and the products of their transformation in the course of oxidation. The mechanism of ethylbenzene oxidation catalyzed by Ni(acac)₂ · 18C6 complexes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1406–1411, August, 1994.     

Electronic structure and the hydrogen-shift isomerization of hydrogen nitryl HNO2

Summary Electronic structure of hydrogen nitryl HNO₂, a yet not identified entity, and the path of its possible isomerization totrans-HONO have been investigated byab initio SCF and MRD-CI computations using the 6-31G** basis set. HNO₂ isC _2v -symmetric and its ground state (¹ A ₁) is less stable thantrans-HONO by 66 kJ/mol (with the SCF vibrational zero-point energy correction). The lowest two excited singlet states (¹ A ₂ and¹ B ₁) are nearly degenerate, their vertical excitation energies being predicted to be 4.8 eV. The isomerization path is traced by the CASSCF procedure and the activation barrier height is evaluated by the CI treatment. HNO₂ in its ground state isomerizes totrans-HONO by maintaining the planar (C _s-symmetric) structure. The activation energy is calculated to be 171 kJ/mol, which is clearly lower than the calculated H-N bond energy (253 kJ/mol). The transition state seems to be more adequately described as an interacting system of proton and the nitrite anion rather than as a pair of two fragment radicals.

Development of a Novel Approach to Formation of a Pyrrole Ring: Synthesis of 2,3,5-Substituted 1-[2-(Vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrroles

Reaction of 2-(vinyloxy)ethylisothiocyanate with unsaturated carbanions generated in situ from propargyl ethers and amines when treated with superbases, after S-alkylation and cyclization of the adducts in the presence of CuBr, leads to the previously unknown 2,3,5-substituted 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrroles.
