3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Derivatives: IV. Synthesis of Amino Acids with 3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Fragment

A series of 1.5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes was prepared by reduction of 1-R-2,4- and 1-R-3,5-dinitrobenzenes with potassium borohydride followed by Mannich reaction with formaldehyde and amino acids. The molecular structure of (6-bromo-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-en-3-yl)acetic acid was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The mechanism of decomposition under electron impact was determined for (7-methoxy-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-en-3-yl)acetic acid.     

Oxidative transformations of peridazines

Reactions of peridazines (1H-1,2-diazaphenalenes) with electron-donor reagents (quinones, potassium ferrocyanide) involve multistage oxidative transformations resulting in products of dimarization and (or) dehydration.     

Formation of Isomeric 3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes in a Reaction of 1-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-2,4-dinitrobenzene with Sodium Borohydride,Formaldehyde, and Methylamine

Anionic hydride adduct of 1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2,4-dinitrobenzene was brought into a double Mannich condensation with formaldehyde and methylamine to furnish a mixture of isomeric 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes: 3-methyl-6-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene and 3-methyl-6,6-ethylenedioxy-1,7-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. By means of NMR spectroscopy, X-ray difraction analysis, and quantum chemistry (PM3) we demonstrated that the spirocyclic isomer had chair-chair conformation with diequatorial orientation of substituents in positions 3 and 7.     

The reactivity of 3,5-dimethylidene-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxopiperidin-1-oxyl and its diamagneticN-methyl analog in nucleophilic addition of amines and diels—Alder dimerization

3,5-Dimethylidene-1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-oxopiperidine was shown by the kinetic method to be less reactive than 3,5-dimethylidene-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxopiperidin-1-oxyl in the nucleophilic addition of secondary amines and Diels—Alder dimerization. According to the quantum-chemical AM1 calculations, this is due to the difference in the structures of the activated complexes (in the reactions with amines) and to the “press” effect created by theN-methyl group that impedes the necessary cycle flattening (in the Diels—Alder reaction).

3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Derivatives: VIII. Synthesis and Properties of 6(7)-R-3,3-Dimethyl-1,5- dinitro-3-azoniabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene Iodides

N-Alkylation of 6(7)-R-1,5-dinitro-3-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes with methyl iodide afforded a series of quaternary ammonium salts whose yield depended on the solvent polarity and character of substituents located in positions 6 or 7 of substrate. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups reduced the yield of the target products compared to unsubstituted compound, whereas the electron-donor substituents increased the yield. As shown by the X-ray diffractionstudy the congormation of the substances was not changed in the course of quaternization. The DTA-TG analysis revealed that in the first stage of thermolysis the 6(7)-R-3,3-dimethyl-1,5-dinitro-3-azoniabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene iodides suffer dealkylation. Two fragmentation paths of compounds synthesized under electron impact were observed: elimination either of methyl iodide or aziridinium cation.     

Synthesis and Structure of Derivatives of 9-(2-Oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azabicylo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones

A number of 3-R-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones was synthesized by Mannich reaction involving Yanovsky adduct of 2,4-dinitronaphthol. It was established by molecular spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis that the piperidine ring in these compounds was in the chairconformation with a diequatorial position of the substituent attached to the heteroatom and 2-oxo-propyl group, and the cyclohexenone fragment was in sofaform. By an example of 3-methyl-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one the dissociative ionization of bicyclononanes under the electron impact was investigated.
