Unexpected cycloisomerizations of nonclassical carbocation intermediates in gold(I)-catalyzed homo-Rautenstrauch cyclizations

An unexpected gold(I)-catalyzed homo-Rautenstrauch rearrangement of 1-cyclopropyl propargylic esters to cyclohexenones is disclosed. This rearrangement represents new evidence for the recently discussed gold-stabilized nonclassical carbocation character of intermediates in gold catalysis. A mechanistic study proved partial chirality transfer from optically active propargyl acetates.

1,3‐Dipolar cycloadditions of 9‐diazofluorenes and diphenyldiazomethane to 2‐acyl‐2H‐1,2,3‐diazaphospholes

A series of 2‐acyl‐2H‐1,2,3‐diazaphospholes 3 underwent ready 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions with 9‐diazofluorenes as the 1,3‐dipole, yielding the respective bicyclic phosphiranes 5 or trimers 7 depending on the reaction conditions employed. The reaction is believed to proceed via the formation of the [3+2]‐cycloaddition adducts followed by elimination of nitrogen from the cyclic azo moiety. In the case of 3c , the phosphatetraazabicyclooctadiene compound 6 has been isolated with no loss of nitrogen. Likewise, the dipolar cycloaddition reaction of diphenyldiazomethane with the >C?P‐ moiety as the 1,3‐dipolarophile gave phosphadiazabicyclohexenes 8 in 32–68% yields.     

Copolymerization of 4,4′‐divinyl benzoyl peroxide with methyl methacylate and grafting of butyl acrylates onto the copolymers

A peroxide monomer, 4,4′‐divinyl benzoyl peroxide (DVBPO), was synthesized. Bulk copolymerization of DVBPO with methyl methacrylate (MMA) was initiated by di(2‐ethyl hexyl)peroxy carbonate (EHP). DSC curves and the appearance of crosslinking of the product showed that DVBPO can copolymerize with MMA. The grafting copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) onto the copolymer was performed. The grafting efficiency (GE), determined by Soxhlet extraction, was high.     

An Efficient Approach to the [1,2,4]-Triazolo[3,2-d][1,5]Benzoxazepine Skeleton-A Novel Tricyclic Ring System

Unprecedented [1,2,4]-Triazolo[3,2-d][1,5]benzoxazepine skeleton was easily achieved by cycloaddition of the allene-like cations 3, derived from 4-chromanone arylhydrazones, to the triple bond of nitriles and ensuing ring enlargement. The structural assignment of one product (5d) has been ultimately accomplished by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Organocatalytic multicomponent alpha-methylenation/Diels-Alder reactions: a versatile route to substituted cyclohexenecarbaldehyde derivatives

This article describes the design and optimization of an effective organocatalytic three-component domino alpha-methylenation/Diels-Alder reaction to produce vinyl-substituted cyclohexenecarboxaldehydes in a highly regioselective fashion. In these one-pot transformations, 2-formyl-1,3-butadienes (4) were prepared in situ from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and formalin and were subsequently trapped with a variety of buta-1,3-dienes. The outcomes of the reactions were dependent on the electronic properties of the dienes. 1-Vinylcyclohexenecarbaldehydes 6 were formed by use of acyclic electron-rich dienes, while the initially formed cycloadducts of 4 with cyclopentadiene underwent Cope rearrangements, leading to the formation of tetrahydro-3H-indene-5-carbaldehyde compounds 7. The mechanisms involved in these reactions were deduced from experimental findings. Furthermore, the method was also extended to one-pot domino methylenation/Diels-Alder reactions of dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans to yield spirocyclic lactols 22. In these reactions, the unstable intermediate hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl acroleins behaved as dienophiles, undergoing cycloaddition reactions with dienes with good yields and selectivities. The wide variety of functionalized 1-vinylcyclohex-3-enecarbaldehydes 6, 4-vinylcyclohex-1-enecarbaldehydes 7, and spiro lactols 22 generated through the use of these organocatalytic domino processes as a diversity-oriented synthesis provided useful intermediates for the construction of novel odorants.
