The synthesis of chiral (2S)- and (2R)-4-methyleneoxazolidin-5-ones, in high enantiomeric purity from (S)-S- methylcysteine, and their highly exo-selective Diels -Alder reactions with cyclic dienes are described. (1R,2S,4S)-2-Aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid has been prepared in 92% e.e. by these methods. A number of the products have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray methods, and their structure systematics examined.

The cyclopropanation reactions of (1a) with ethyl and t-butyl (dimethylsulfuranylidene)acetate proceeded with good diastereoselectivity and resulted in the formation of three diastereoisomeric products. The major diastereoisomeric product ((2a) and (2b), respectively) could be isolated in pure form by simple recrystallization. The stereochemistry of the major cyclopropane product (2b) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. These cyclopropanation products were susceptible to ring opening of the cyclopropane ring upon reduction with sodium borohydride or acid hydrolysis. The reaction of (1b) with ethyl (dimethylsulfuranylidene)acetate gave a mixture of four diastereoisomeric cyclopropanation products. The reactions of (1a) and (1b) with the sulfur ylide derived from 3-methoxycarbonylallyldimethylsulfonium bromide were less successful in terms of product diastereoselectivities.

Cardinalic acid (1,7,8-trihydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid) (4) and the known anthraquinone carboxylic acids endocrocin (1), dermolutein (2) and cinnalutein (3) have been isolated from the New Zealand toadstool Dermocybe cardinalis. Methyl 1,7,8-tri-O-methylcardinalate (5) has been prepared both by permethylation of the natural product (4) and from 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone by two consecutive regioselective Diels–Alder cycloaddition reactions. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the ester (5) corroborates the structure of the natural product (4) and confirms the outcome of both cycloaddition reactions.

The structure of the compound obtained on heating the naturally occurring clerodane furanoditerpene (1) had been formulated as (2) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the dihydro derivative of (2) has confirmed this and provides support for the stereochemistry previously assigned to (1) on the basis of chemical evidence.

We report the synthesis and characterization of iptycene–naphthazarin dyes by using a sequential Diels–Alder approach. The tautomerization of naphthazarin was used as the key step in the synthesis, with structures confirmed by single-crystal X-ray and NMR analysis. The systematic trends in electronic properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy. BF2 complexes of the dyes were prepared by reaction with BF3·OEt2 in CH2Cl2.

The bromoepoxide 5a, which is obtained from the homochiral and enzymatically derived cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 1a, is readily and efficiently transformed into either isomer 8a or the corresponding methoxymethyl-ether 2a. Though both of these products can be fully characterized, they are somewhat unstable, with the former being converted into the crystalline enone 3a on standing and the latter readily participating in a Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction with the potent dienophile N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione to give adduct 7a. The single-crystal X-ray structures of compounds 3a and 7a are reported. Using the related chemistry the chloro-analogue, 3b, of enone 3a can be obtained.

A high-precision structure of tetracobalt diniobium nonaoxide, Co4Nb2O9, is presented, based on X-ray single-crystal data. The space group and cation distribution previously obtained from powder data [Bertaut, Corliss, Forrat, Aleonard & Pauthenet (1961). J. Phys. Chem. Solids, 21, 234–251] are confirmed.

AbstractSorption of an acidic, amphoteric, sulphur containing and basic α-amino-acid (glutamic acid, glycine, methionine and lysine) by copper montmorillonite was studied by chemical and X-ray methods. With glutamic acid complex formation occurs only in solution but increasing basicity of the aminoacid favours complex formation in the clay interlayers.
