Downstream to alkene hydrosilylation, the opening of the cyclopropane ring in benzyl-substituted VCPs is interlinked with an SEAr of the aryl group.

AbstractThe synthesis of pyrazino[1,2-a]indoles and related indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines and pyrido[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]indol-5-ium salts are reviewed in this chapter. The most common routes to pyrazino[1,2-a]indoles involve cyclization of indole derivatives containing a formyl, keto, ester, or nitrile function at the 2-position. Indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines are most readily accessed via cyclization of 1-(aryl)-1H-indoles, where the aryl group is substituted at the 2-position by either amino, iodo, or nitro functionality.

A facile route to polysubstituted 2-pyrones from readily available 2-acylcyclopropane-1-aryl-1-carboxylates mediated by TfOH is reported. The strongly donating 1-aryl group is important for directing the C-C bond cleavage of the donor-acceptor cyclopropane ring, which then leads to the formation of the 2-pyrone ring through lactonization.

In the title compound, C23H17ClF3NO3, the dihedral angle between the dihydroanthracene and cyclopropane ring systems is 58.5 (4)°. The amino H atom forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond to a carbonyl O atom of the dioxodihydroanthracene moiety. The crystal packing is further stabilized by an intermolecular C—H...F contact.

By using the properties of fluorine such as electronic effects and leaving-group ability, two types of ring-forming reactions have been achieved starting from fluoroolefins: (i) fluorinated vinyl ketones with a vinyl and/or an aryl group, which undergo fluorine-directed and/or -activated Nazarov, Friedel-Crafts, and tandem cyclizations in their combination to construct highly functionalized and fused ring systems and (ii) gem-difluoroolefins bearing a nucleophilic center on the carbon δ to the flourines undergo intramolecular substitution for the fluorine via "anti-Baldwin" 5-endo-trig closures leading to ring-fluorinated heterocycles. Throughout these reactions, fluorines function as an activator of the substrates and a controller over the reaction pathways.

Utilizing thujone-derived intermediates, efficient routes to the natural polygodial family of antifeedants as well as novel analogues within this family are described. One of the key features of this study involves the insertion of an oxygen function into a tertiary carbon center adjacent to a cyclopropane ring system thus providing convenient intermediates for subsequent elaboration. An interesting ring expansion of five-membered to six-membered ring systems by means of tri-n-butyltin hydride is also described. Keywords: antifeedants, polygodial, thujone.

The 3e′ orbitals of cyclopropane have the correct symmetry to interact with low-lying unoccupied orbitals of π-acceptor substituents and maximum overlap occurs when the two orbital systems are parallel, i.e. when the π-acceptor bisects the ring in projection down the substituent bond. Since the cyclopropyl group is a common component of active pharmaceutical and agrochemical ingredients, it is important that these strong conjugative interactions are well modelled by computational techniques, and clearly represented in experimental crystal structures. Here we show that torsion angle distributions derived from crystal structure data in the Cambridge Structural Database are in excellent correspondence with torsional energy profiles computed using density functional theory (DFT) for a range of substituents: —COOR, —CONR 2, —NO2, vinyl and phenyl. We also show that crystal structure information is invaluable in modelling conformations of compounds that contain multiply substituted rings, where steric interactions require some substituents to adopt energetically disfavoured conformations. Further, conjugative interactions with π-acceptors lead to significant asymmetry in the cyclopropane ring bond lengths and again the experimental and computational results are in excellent agreement. Such asymmetry effects are additive, and this explains bond-length variations in cyclopropane rings bearing two or more π-acceptor substituents.

ABSTRACTThe nature of collisions within ring systems is reviewed with emphasis on Saturn's rings. The particles may have coherent icy cores and less coherent granular or frosty surface layers, consistent with thermal eclipse observations. Present-day collisions of such ring particles do not cause catastrophic fragmentation of the particles, although some minor surface erosion and reaccretion is possible. Evolution by collisional fragmentation is thus not as important as in the asteroid belt.

ABSTRACTThis paper models maximum entropy configurations of idealized gravitational ring systems. Such configurations are of interest because systems generally evolve toward an ultimate state of maximum randomness. For simplicity, attention is confined to ultimate states for which interparticle interactions are no longer of first order importance. The planets, in their orbits about the sun, are one example of such a ring system. The extent to which the present approximation yields insight into ring systems such as Saturn's is explored briefly.

To study the role of sulfhydryl group formation during cell cycle progression, mammalian tissue culture cells (PTK2) were exposed to 100¼M 2-mercaptoethanol for 2 to 6 h during their exponential phase of growth. The effects of 2-mercaptoethanol on centrosomes, chromosomes, microtubules, membranes and intermediate filaments were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) methods using a human autoimmune antibody directed against centrosomes (SPJ), and a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against tubulin (E7). Chromosomes were affected most by this treatment: premature chromosome condensation was detected in interphase nuclei, and the structure in mitotic chromosomes was altered compared to control cells. This would support previous findings in dividing sea urchin cells in which chromosomes are arrested at metaphase while the centrosome splitting cycle continues. It might also support findings that certairt-sulfhydryl-blocking agents block cyclin destruction. The organization of the microtubule network was scattered probably due to a looser organization of centrosomal material at the interphase centers and at the mitotic poles.
