Hydrolysis Of

Diels-Alder reaction between furan and α-chloroacrylonitrile gives a mixture of exo-2-chloro-and endo-2-chloro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbonitrile (4) and (5). Mild hydrolysis affords the corresponding α-chloro acid mixture, from which the endo carboxylic acid may be removed through iodo lactone formation. Catalytic hydrogenation of (4) and (5) followed by hydrolysis, acyl azide formation, Curtius rearrangement, and hydrolysis of the resulting mixture of a-chloro isocyanates yields 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptan-2-one (1) in preparatively useful amounts. Reduction of (1) gives only endo alcohol, and Baeyer-Villiger reaction proceeds with exclusive bridgehead atom migration. Thermal decomposition of the sodium salt of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone of (1) affords 7-oxatricyclo[2.2.1 .02,6]heptane.

Diels Alder Reaction

The use of 3-carboxylated 2,5-dihydrothiophenes as the dienophilic component of the Diels–Alder reaction has been investigated. The yields are generally quite low. The formation of conjugated dienes that are aminated at an interior position of the conjugated chain by formation and thermal decomposition of 3-acetamido-2,5-dihydrothiophenes appears to be a viable route to these useful compounds. One example of the Diels–Alder reaction of 2-carboxylated diethyl vinylphosphonates is reported.

Transient Intermediate

A study of Diels–Alder reactions of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (II) coupled with development of two improved procedures for the generation of benzyne, one of which affords a practical route to the reactive dienophile 1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endo-oxide (Ia), led to an investigation of the reaction of Ia and II. At 80° these reactants combine readily to give the adduct IIIa, which is cleaved on pyrolysis to isobenzofurane VIIIa and 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylbenzene (IX). The transient existence of isobenzofurane (VIIIa) was established by trapping it with the 1,4-endo-oxide Ia and isolation of the adducts X and XI. In confirmation of the interpretation, X and XI were obtained by independent synthesis from the adduct Va from Ia and α-pyrone and thermal decomposition of Va in the presence of Ia as trapping agent. Parallel experiments with 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endo-oxide, as well as mixed additions, supported the interpretations advanced. Evidence is presented to show that isobenzofurane (VIIIa) invariably adds exo to the bicyclic dienophile.

Wittig Reactions

The photoisomerization of enol-lactones is described. Thermal decomposition of (E) and (Z) ethyl 3-oxo-1,3,3aβ,4α,7α,7aβ-hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofran-1-yideneacetates provides a good route to (E) and (Z) ethyl 5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ylideneacetates. Other examples of this retro-Diels-Alder reaction are reported. The relative stabilities of (E) and (Z) enol-lactones from the Wittig reaction between substituted succinic anhydrides and ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane have been determined. These Wittig reactions are under kinetic control.

Approximate Order

The Diels–Alder reactivity of various 2H-thiopyrans bearing electron-donating substituents has been investigated. The approximate order of reactivity among the 2H-thiopyrans studied was 4,6-disubstituted [Formula: see text] 5-substituted > 4-substituted, 3,5-disubstituted [Formula: see text] 3-substituted. Good yields of predominantly endo adducts are obtained with reactive dienophiles. With less reactive dienophiles, reactions are much slower and yields are attenuated due to the competing thermal decomposition of the dienes under the reaction conditions. The adducts obtained are equivalent (via desulfurization) to those from unreactive cis-substituted dienes. Key words: Diels–Alder, 2H-thiopyran.
