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.

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.

The furo [2,3-b] indoline ring system is one of the most important structural units in various natural products. It has been known to have inherent biological activities and is utilized as a synthetic target for a number of natural compounds; therefore, this has contributed to a great demand for the growth of synthetic methods for this ring system. Most important compounds with furoindoline ring system are physovenine, madindoline A and B and makomotindoline etc. These compounds are well known to exhibit biological activity against different diseases such as glaucoma, cancer, cachexia, Castleman’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The current article focuses on various synthetic approaches for furoindoline containing compounds and essential furoindoline moiety, such as oxindole-5-O-tetrahydropyranyl ether route etc., and various other diastereoand enantio- controlled approach in a very concise way.

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.

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.
