Ring opening of 7-dehydrocholesterol in a cold matrix yields a single conformer of previtamin D, a steroid Z-triene. On its photoisomerization, the main product results from Hula twist (HT), and side products (e.g. from double-bond twist, DBT) come from the same conical intersection.

Abstract4-Pyrones bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to form pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds chemoselectively as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the carbon–carbon double bond of the pyrone activated by the electron-withdrawing substituent. The reactivity of 4-pyrones toward azomethine ylides was rationalized by computational studies with the use of reactivity indexes. The pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidine moiety could be modified, for example by a ring-opening transformation under the action of hydrazine to provide pyrazolyl-substituted pyrrolidines.

Abstract Reduction of MentPBr2M(CO)5 1 (M = Cr, W) with magnesium in THF yields the diphos­phene complex (CO)5M(Ment)P=P(Ment)M(CO)5 2 as the main product. In addition, a phosphinidene complex, (CO)5M(Ment)PM(CO)5 (3) is also formed. The latter is obtained in larger amounts, if the reaction is carried out in the presence of M(CO)5THF. The proposed structures are confirmed by NMR and UV data as well as - in the case of the chromium compounds (2a, 3a) - by crystal structure analysis. Compound 2a is obtained only as the frans-isomer. The P-P distance in 2a (204.0 pm) indicates a double bond which does not participate in the complex formation. The P-Cr distance in 3a (average: 230.3 pm) is within the low est range found for this element combination. Reaction of 2a with LiAlH4 yields the diphosphane complex (CO)5CrMent(H)P-P(H)MentCr(CO)5 4 as a mixture of “meso” and “rac” diastereomers.

The aim of this project was to attempt to find a method for introducing the cis-dihydroxyl substitution at the A/B-ring junction of model compounds related to the saquayamycins. The Diels-Alder reactions of maleic anhydride and bromomaleic anhydride with 5,5-dimethyl-3-vinylcyclohexa-1,2-dienyl acetate gave the two required endo-adducts in good yield, namely (octahydrobenzo[e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (6) and (octahydrobenzo[e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (9). Each of these was converted into the B-ring mono-epoxide, namely (H-benzo[e]oxireno-2,3-furan-1-yl acetate (7) and a mixture of two racemic diastereoisomers of 9a-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-7,9-dioxoperhydrobenzo[e]oxi- reno[2,3-f]isobenzofuran-1-yl acetate (12), respectively. It was then hoped to deprotonate both (7) and (12) at the 9a position in order to effect migration of the 8,9 double bond to the 9,9a position. Reaction of (7) with a mild base (pyridine) did not effect any reaction. Similar treatment of (12) did remove the 9a proton, but it also effected ring opening of the epoxide, followed by dehydration and dehydrobromination to give an excellent (but unwanted) yield of the aromatized system (±)-7,7-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-1,3,5,7-tetrahydrobenzo (e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate. Dehydrobromination of (9), and deprotonation of the 9a position, similarly formed the aromatic system (e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (11) in good yield.
