Convenient Route

Aluminum chloride accelerates the Diels–Alder reactions of 2- or 2,5-substituted N-carbomethoxypyrroles with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and also catalyzes rearrangement of the N-carbomethoxy-7-azanorbornadiene adducts to 6- and 4,6-substituted dimethyl N-carbomethoxy-3-aminophthalates. Aromatization of the corresponding adduct of N-carbomethoxypyrrole only occurs on prolonged treatment with BF3. The procedure promises to be a convenient route for the synthesis of polysubstituted anilines.

Hydrolysis Of

The syntheses of a variety of 3,4-disubstituted pyrroles including the antimitotic agent Verrucarin E are described. 3,4-Pyrroledicarboxylic esters were prepared through a Diels–Alder reaction. Partial hydrolysis of the diesters gave the 4-ester-3-acids which were modified to achieve the synthesis of a variety of unsymmetrically 3,4-disubstituted pyrroles. Raney nickel reduction of a thiolester gave hydroxymethyl under conditions which left acyl or carbalkoxy substituents unaffected. Pyrrole reactions involving carbanionic reagents are complicated by 1-proton abstraction. Therefore, when necessary, the nitrogen was protected by an N-benzyloxymethyl substituent which can be cleaved to the N-hydroxymethyl derivative by aluminum chloride or by hydrogenolysis. Subsequent treatment with benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide gave back the pyrrole.

New Strategies

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>

Enantioselective Syntheses

Background: The Diels-Alder reaction has been widely utilised in the syntheses of biologically important natural products over the years and continues to greatly impact modern synthetic methodology. Recent discovery of chiral organocatalysts, auxiliaries and ligands in organic synthesis has paved the way for their application in Diels-Alder chemistry with the goal to improve efficiency as well as stereochemistry. Objective: The review focuses on asymmetric syntheses of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products that utilize chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes through various illustrative examples. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that a significant amount of research has been done investigating various types of catalysts and chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes for the enantioselective synthesis of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products. The results have demonstrated improved yield and enantioselectivity. Much emphasis has been placed on the synthesis but important mechanistic work aimed at understanding the enantioselectivity has also been discussed.
