The synthesis of the acetoxy lactone 17 by a method potentially suitable for anhydroryanodine is described. In the course of the synthesis several mechanistically unusual reactions were observed. One of them was an attack of Cl+ on an exocyclic double bond in a benzobicycloheptane system from the endo side. Another was a SN2 type displacement of chlorine by chloride or acetate ions in a six-membered ring.

Despite the great potential of bio-renewable a-methylene-<a></a><a></a><a>g-butyrolactone</a> (MBL) to produce functional recyclable polyester, the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of MBL remains as a challenge due to the competing polymerization of the highly reactive exocyclic double bond and the low strained five membered ring. In this contribution, we present the first organocatalytic chemoselective ROP of MBL to exclusively produce recyclable unsaturated polyester by utilizing a phosphazene base/urea binary catalyst. We show that delicate chemoselectivity can be realized by controlling the temperature and using selected urea catalysts. Experimental and theoretical calculations provide mechanistic insights and indicate that the kinetically controlled ROP pathway is favored by using urea with stronger acidity at low temperatures.

The nickel(II) complex of meso-dimethylaminoprop-1-enyloctaethylporphyrin (2c) was converted by quaternization and thermolysis into a pair of novel isomeric macrocyclic complexes (3) and (4). These have a fused six-membered ring, and an exocyclic double bond on the neighbouring β-position, and have been named ‘australochlorins’. Heating these compounds in acetic acid leads to the known nickel(II) octaethylbenzochlorin (1) and a novel β-(1-acetoxyethyl)benzochlorin (5). Trifluoroacetic acid promotes the regioselective formation of benzochlorin/porphyrin species from the mononickel(II) complexes of the acrolein derivatives of bis(octaethylporphyrinyl)ethane and trans-ethene.

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

In the reaction with benzophenone and phenylaldehyde lithiated aminofluorosilanes behave like iminosilanes. Four membered rings are formed in (2+2) cycloadditions. The oxaazasilacyclobutane ((CMe3)2Si—NCMe3—C6H5CH—O—) was purified by destillation. Single crystals were obtained by recrystallization from hexane. The thermal cleavage of the (SiNCO)-rings leads to carboimines and cyclosiloxanes. The lithium derivate of di-tert-butylfluorosilyl-2.6-diisopropylphenylamine reacts with 2-methyl-propenal-2 in two competing ways. In a (2+4) cycloaddition an 1-oxa-3-aza-2-sila-5-cyclohexene is formed, and in a (2+2) cycloaddition 2-methyl-2-propenyl-N-(2.6-diisopropylphenyl)imine is generated via an (SiNCO)-ring intermediate.
