5-Alkylidenefuran-2(5H)-ones can be synthesized efficiently from S- methyl 5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-furanylidenealkanethioates by treatment with Raney nickel. The ylidenealkanethioates are prepared from the Wittig reactions between cyclic anhydrides and (methylthio)carbonylmethylenetriphenyl-phosphorane or its alkylated derivative. The decarbonylation-desulfurization process proceeds largely with retention of configuration about the double bond. It is considered that the reaction proceeds by loss of carbon monoxide to give a thioenol ether which is subsequently hydrogenolysed to the 5- alkylidenefuran-2(5H)-one.

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.

An atom- and step-economic intermolecular multi-component palladium-catalyzed C–H amidation of alkenes with carbon monoxide and organic azides has been developed for the synthesis of alkenyl amides. The reaction proceeds efficiently without an ortho-directing group on the alkene substrates. Nontoxic dinitrogen is generated as the sole by-product. Computational studies and control experiments have revealed that the reaction takes place via an unexpected mechanism by tandem palladium catalysis.

At lower temperatures stabilized ylides react with unsymmetrically substituted phthalic anhydrides to give two acyclic adducts. When the reactions are allowed to proceed at higher temperature enol lactones are formed. Identification of the acyclic intermediates was necessary to understand the mechanism of these Wittig reactions. The transient species trapped in the reaction with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate were unambiguously identified by crystallographic methods. The crystal structures of the tetrafluoroborate salt of methyl(triphenylphosphoranyl idene)- acetate (8), methyl(3-methoxy,2-methoxycarbonylbenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (6β), and methyl(2-methoxycarbonyl,6-nitrobenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (7α) were studied by X-ray diffraction. The ionic salt (8) is monoclinic, P21c,a= 12.640(5), b = 13.945(9), c = 14.825(6) Å, β = 125.32(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.065 (F >5.4 σ(F)). Crystal 6 β is monoclinic, P21c,a = 16.391(16), b = 9.029(6), c = 19.835(19) Å, β = 116.60(6)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.070 (F > 4.6 σ(F)), while crystal 7α is also monoclinic, P21c,a = 9.513(5), b = 9.361(3), c = 30.908(13) Å, β = 98.42(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.057 (F >5 σ(F)). In the BF 4- salt (12), the four P-C distances are equal (1.791(5)-1.801(7) Å) with identical tetrahedral angles. For the two triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate compounds, the fourth P-C(1) bond is shorter (1.762(6)-1.734(5) Å) than the three P-C(Ph) bonds (avg. 1.809(5) Å). The angles C(1)-P-C(Ph) are also larger (avg. 112.9(2)° for 6β and 111.9(2)° for 7α) than the C(Ph)-P-C(Ph) angles (avg. 105.8(2)° for 6 β and 106.9(2)° for 7α). These values suggest a multiple nature for the P-C(1) bond. In the nitro derivative, the nitro and the ester groups are disordered equally in positions 2 and 6. Key words: Wittig reactions, cyclic anhydrides, stabilized ylide, phosphoranylidenes, crystal structures.

The thermal isomerization of 2-vinylaziridines, variously substituted on the ring and the double bond, has been studied. The nature of the products formed depends on the nature of the substituents in positions 1 and 3. If the ring carbon-3 carries a phenyl substituent, the thermolysis yields, in most cases, a Δ-2-pyrroline. With unsubstituted or 3-alkylaziridines the reaction proceeds, depending on the nature of the substituent on the nitrogen, either to an ethylene imine or to a mixture of Δ-2- and Δ-3-pyrrolines. Mechanisms to interpret the experimental results are proposed. [Journal translation]
