AbstractThe 1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinanes 1a-d react with elemental sodium with formation of the 1,3-diaza-2,4-diboretidines 2a-d. By use of more sodium in case of 1 d or 3,5-bis(diethylamino)- 2-cyclohexyl-6-trimethylsilyldiborinane, the 1,3-thiaza-2,4-diboretidines 3 were formed. 3.5-Dimethyl-2,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinane gives the borazine 4, The reaction of di-t-butyl-sulfurdiimide with 2,6-di-t-butyl-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinane leads by ring contraction to the four-membered ring system 5. 1H, 11B, 13C NMR and mass spectra are reported and discussed.

The preparations of [2,2](3,3')biphenylparacyclophane-1,9-dine (19) and a dimethyl derivative (20) synthesized by a ring-contraction procedure of the corresponding dithiacyclophanes (11) and (12) are reported. Both dienes (19) and (20) photocyclized under oxidative conditions to the benzo[ghi]- perylenes (21) and (22). Difficulties associated with the Stevens rearrangement in cyclophanes containing a para-disubstituted benzene moiety have been rationalized in terms of a competing ring- opening reaction. Several other reactions of the biphenylparacylophane ring system are reported, and the stereochemistry of the macrocycle is discussed.

Stereoselective syntheses of decahydro-as-indacenes 31 and 54 are reported. The key features of our syntheses of 31 and 54 are the tandem Ireland-Claisen ring contraction of lactones 29 and 38 followed by the transannular Diels-Alder cyclization of cyclododecatrienes 30 and 35. Transition state modeling of both the transannular Diels-Alder reaction and the Ireland-Claisen ring contraction using PCModel is also described.Key words: transannular Diels-Alder reactions, tandem reactions, Claisen ring contraction, Spinosyn A, synthetic study.

The synthesis of [2,2](2,7)naphthalenophane-1,ll-diene (2a) from 2,13-dithia[3,3](2,7)naphthalenophane (4) by means of a Stevens rearrangement ring contraction and a Hofmann elimination procedure is described. The diene was found to undergo an efficient oxidative photochemical cyclization to coronene. Several other reactions of the naphthalenophane ring system are described, and the stereochemistry of the macrocycle is discussed.

1,3-Dilithio-5-trimethylsilyl-2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethylcyclotrisilazane (1) reacts in a 1:2 molar ratio with difluorodimethyl- or trifluoromethylsilane to give substitution at the lithiated N atoms. The reaction of the bis(fluorodimethylsilyl)-substituted compound with more of 1 produces ring contraction, to form a silyl-bridged tris(cyclodisilazane). In the reaction of the bis(difluoromethylsilyl)-substituted cyclotrisilazane with more of 1, however, the title compound, a fused ring system, is formed. This compound has been characterised by crystal structure determination. The mechanism of its formation is discussed.

Halogenation by the appropriate amounts of bromine or N-bromosuccinimide converts spirodiisophora-3',6-dione successively into the 4'-ax-mono- and 2',4'-diax-dibromo-3',6-dione. The latter is reduced by lithium aluminium hydride to the corresponding 6,3'-ketol. with retention of one or both bromo-substituents, depending on conditions. The bromoketones undergo the Favorski ring-contraction under the influence of alkalis to compounds of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-spirocyclopentane ring-system . The 13C NMR spectra of the individual products are assigned and correlated with their structures.

The dominant mechanism operating in a recently disclosed ring contraction is revealed for the first time. New insight and supporting evidence into a classic ring-contraction strategy within a rigidified larger ring system are provided.
