The Cope rearrangement of 2,3-divinyloxiranes, a rare example of epoxide C-C bond cleavage, results in 4,5-dihydrooxepines which are amenable to hydrolysis, furnishing 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds containing two contiguous stereocenters at the 3- and 4- positions. We employ...

Novel 1,3-oxazepine derivatives have been synthesis via (2+5) cycloaddition reaction of imines and selected cyclic carboxylic acid anhydrides by refluxing in dry benzene. Imines have been prepared by thermal condensation of 4-methyl aniline and para substituted benzaldehyde in absolute ethanol under reflux conditions. The structure of the target compounds were Identified by some physical properties and spectral data of FT-IR and 1H-NMR.

Two different approaches have been employed to enhance the reactivity of 1-alkyl-1,2-diphospholes – the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups either at the phosphorus atoms or in the para-position of the arene ring. The alkylation of sodium 1,2-diphospha-3,4,5-triphenylcyclopentadienide with alkyl halides Hal-CH2-R (R = CN, COOEt, OMe, CH2OEt) results in corresponding 1-alkyl-3,4,5-triphenyl-1,2-diphospholes (alkyl = CH2CN (1a), CH2COOEt (1b), CH2OMe (1c), and (CH2)2OEt (1d)), which spontaneously undergo the intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions at room temperature to form the mixture of the cycloadducts, 2a–c, respectively. However the alkylation of sodium 1,2-diphospha-3,4,5-tri(p-fluorophenyl)cyclopentadienide with ethyl iodide leads to stable 1-ethyl-3,4,5-tris(p-fluorophenyl)-1,2-diphosphole (1e), which forms the [4 + 2] cycloadduct 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexa(p-fluorophenyl)-1-ethyl-1,7,7a-triphospha-4,7-(ethylphosphinidene)indene (2e) only upon heating up to 60 °C. With further heating to 120 °C with N-phenylmaleimide, the cycloadducts 2a–c and 2e undergo the retro-Diels–Alder reaction and form only one product of the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction 3a–с, 3e with good yields up to 65%.

Substituted 5-methylene-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with nitrile oxides to give the corresponding spiro heterocycles. Critical to this reaction was the development of a biphasic system for base-induced dehydrohalogenation of hydroximoyl chlorides, to give nitrile oxides, in the presence of a base-sensitive dipolarophile. A substituted N-tolyl 5-methylene-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one exhibited atropisomerism, which in turn led to a 4:1 facial selectivity during cycloaddition.

We report a method for synthesizing optically active 2,3-disubstituted indolines by the cycloaddition reaction of benzynes with various 4-[(4-toluenesulfonyl)amino]-(E)-but-2-enenitriles, which are readily prepared from the corresponding l-amino acid derivatives.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] An allylic benzoate ester was prepared and used as a progenitor of vinylthionium ions for (4+3)-cycloaddition reactions. The chemistry was limited to 2-substituted and 2,5-disubstituted furans. In the case of 2-substituted furans, only Friedel-Crafts alkylation products were procured. In the case of 2,5-disubstituted furans, (4+3)-cycloaddition products were furnished in good yield. A catalytic, asymmetric variant using 2,5-dialkylfurans and chiral acids to procure cycloaddition products was unsuccessful. There was an opportunity to overcome the Friedel-Crafts alkylation problem that arose in a gold-catalyzed cycloaddition project. A sulfur-substituted unsaturated ester and alcohol were prepared, but silyl migration was a considerable problem upon activation by various agents. The problem of silyl migration was circumvented, but the target aldehyde was unreactive toward dienes in the presence of various Lewis acids. In further pursuit of an asymmetric (4+3)-cycloaddition reaction, 2-substituted furans were reacted with 2-tosyloxycyclopentanone in the presence of K2HPO4/H2O in perfluorobenzene as solvent and 30 mol% of an amino alcohol catalyst developed by David MacMillan. Enantioselectivities were modest for 2-alkylfurans and excellent for 2-arylchalcogenofurans (90% ee). 3-Substituted furans also work in this process.

X2Si=Sn: (X = H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar, etc.) are a new chemical species. The cycloaddition reactions of X2Si=Sn: are a new field of stannylene chemistry. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet state Me2Si=Sn: and ethene has been investigated for the first time here using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory together with the 6-311++G** basis set for C, H and Si atoms and the LanL2dz basis set for Sn atoms. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction channel. The reaction process presented is that the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn in Me2Si=Sn: and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond resulting in the formation of an intermediate. The instability of this intermediate makes it isomerize to a four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene. Because the 5p unoccupied orbital of the Sn atom in the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond, the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene further combines with ethene to form another intermediate. Because the Sn atom in this intermediate assumes sp3 hybridization after the transition state, the intermediate isomerizes to a Si-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound. This result indicates the modes of cycloaddition reactions between X2Si=Sn: and symmetric π-bonded compounds, i.e. this study opens up a new field for stannylene chemistry.

Organoammonium salts of dipeptide-derived chiral triamines or diamines with TfOH catalyzed the enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of α-acyloxyacroleins with nitrones to give the corresponding adducts in good yields (up to 96%) and with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 89% ee). Although α-(p-methoxybenzoyloxy)acrolein is rather unstable under the reaction conditions, α-(3-pyrroline-1-carbonyloxy)acrolein is stable enough to be smoothly converted into the corresponding adducts with the aid of the chiral organoammonium salt catalysts.

The use of sonochemistry is described in the organocatalytic enamine–azide [3 + 2] cycloaddition between 1,3-diketones and aryl azidophenyl selenides. These sonochemically promoted reactions were found to be amenable to a range of 1,3-diketones or aryl azidophenyl selenides, providing an efficient access to new ((arylselanyl)phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ketones in good to excellent yields and short reaction times. In addition, this protocol was extended to β-keto esters, β-keto amides and α-cyano ketones. Selanyltriazoyl carboxylates, carboxamides and carbonitriles were synthesized in high yields at short times of reaction under very mild reaction conditions.
