Four 5-aryl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepines (5a-d), with electron-releasing substituents, were prepared by a Bischler-Napieralski-type reaction of N-(2-aryloxyethyl)benzamides with phosphorus oxychloride in butanenitrile or ethanenitrile. Analogous 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepines (12a, b), with hydrogen only or a chlorine substituent in the fused aromatic ring, were prepared by C-N ring-closure reactions. Cyclization of a dilute solution of N-[3-(3-methoxyphenoxy)propyl]benzamide (21) with phosphorus oxychloride in ethanenitrile gave a 40% yield of 9-methoxy-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro- 2H-1,5-benzoxazocine (22). The seven- and eight-membered cyclic imines were converted into their methiodide salts (6a-d), (15a,b) and (24). These were reduced with sodium tetrahydroborate to yield the 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepines (7a-d) and (l6a,b), and the 9-methoxy- 5-methyl-6-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzoxazocine (25). These products were prepared for use as starting materials in ring-expansion reactions through the Meisenheimer rearrangement.

Uv And Ir Spectra

Photolysis of 3-azidoquinoline 6 in an Ar matrix generates 3-quinolylnitrene 7, which is characterized by its electron spin resonance (ESR), UV, and IR spectra in Ar matrices. Nitrene 7 undergoes ring opening to a nitrile ylide 19, also characterized by its UV and IR spectra. A subsequent 1,7-hydrogen shift in the ylide 19 affords 3-(2-isocyanophenyl)ketenimine 20. Matrix photolysis of 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-c]quinoxaline 26 generates 4-diazomethylquinazoline 27, followed by 4-quinazolylcarbene 28, which is characterized by ESR and IR spectroscopy. Further photolysis of carbene 28 slowly generates ketenimine 20, thus suggesting that ylide 19 is formed initially. Flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of both 6 and 26 affords 3-cyanoindole 22 in high yield, thereby indicating that carbene 28 and nitrene 7 enter the same energy surface. Matrix photolysis of 3-quinolyldiazomethane 30 generates 3-quinolylcarbene 31, which on photolysis at >500 nm reacts with N2 to regenerate diazo compound 30. Photolysis of 30 in the presence of CO generates a ketene (34). 3-Quinolylcarbene 31 cyclizes on photolysis at >500 nm to 5-aza-2,3-benzobicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4,7-triene 32. Both 31 and 32 are characterized by their IR and UV spectra. FVT of 30 yields a mixture of 2- and 3-cyanoindenes via a carbene–carbene–nitrene rearrangement 31 → 2-quinolylcarbene 39 → 1-naphthylnitrene 43. The reaction mechanisms are supported by density functional theory calculations of the energies and spectra of all relevant ground and transition state structures at the B3LYP/6–31G* level.

Synthetic methodology to access cyclic macromolecules continues to develop via two distinct mechanistic classes: ring-expansion of macrocyclic initiators and ring-closure of functionalized linear polymers.

AbstractA novel Brønsted acid promoted condensation reaction between a primary aniline and 2-hydroxycyclobutanone provides access to diverse tryptamine derivatives in moderate to good yields. The proposed mechanism involves an α-iminol rearrangement, ring expansion, ring closure, and a depart-and-return rearrangement process.

AbstractA novel iodine-mediated rearrangement of heterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes under green conditions is described. This metal-free transformation for the straightforward synthesis of substituted 2-azaanthraquinones proceeds via ring opening/dissociation of C–O and C–N bonds/intramolecular C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation/ring expansion/aza-ring closure/1,3-N to N alkyl migration. High atom-efficiency, synthetically useful yields, easily accessible starting materials, and mild reaction conditions are advantages of this process.

Transition Structure

Density functional calculations were performed on a model system of squalene oxide to study the mechanism of the formation of ring A in the biosynthesis of lanosterol from squalene. When (2Z)-6,7-epoxy-3,7-dimethyloct-2-ene was protonated, it was calculated to undergo a very facile ring opening of the oxirane in concert with the formation of the six-membered ring of the 4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,3-tetramethy1cyclohexyl cation. A study of the reaction pathway (IRC) indicates a very early transition structure in which the carbon- carbon double bond participates anchimerically in the ring-opening of the protonated oxirane. It is suggested that the primary role of the enzyme in this first step of the biosynthesis of lanosterol is protonation of the oxirane ring along with holding the substrate in the proper conformation for the concerted ring-closure to occur. The similarity between this mechanism and that recently proposed for concerted C-ring expansion and D-ring formation in the biosynthesis of lanosterol is discussed.
