The reactivity of the epoxy-fulvene 1, prepared by pyrrolidine catalyzed condensation of cyclopentadiene and epoxybutanone, has been examined with various nucleophiles. It is a versatile intermediate for the preparation of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene synthons via nucleophilic addition to the C6 position of the fulvene followed by intramolecular cyclization of the substituted cyclopentadiene anion generated insitu.

The jadomycin family of natural products was first identified and characterized by Vining and co-workers at Dalhousie University in the 1990s. Herein, we report findings from a recently developed co-amino acid supplementation culture method with S. venezuelae ISP5230 using 8-aminooctanoic acid, where the major natural product was a jadomycin variant omitting an E-ring (1). These results reinforce that the 3a position is susceptible to nucleophilic addition by cellular metabolites in jadomycin biosynthesis when intramolecular cyclization is unfavorable. Further, the cytotoxicity data for several unsubstituted E-ring jadomycins are reported and discussed.

Starting from ethyl 3-(1-naphthyl)propionate (1), the dibasic acid 4-(4-carboxy-ethyl-I-naphthyl)butyric acid (3) was prepared, which served as a key compound for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthraoene (6) by a double intramolecular cyclization. The monocyolization of the dibasic acid (3) gave rise by a preferential six-membered ring closure, to 3-(1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-phenanthryl)propionic acid (7). A partial synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthracene (6), by succinoylation of perinaphthane followed by usual synthetic steps, is reported as confirmatory evidence of the identity of (6) obtained by double cyclization of the diacid. Some aspects of the orientation of intramolecular acylation are discussed.

Sulphur analogues of uracil and thymine have been prepased, in which the N1 atom of the pyrimidine base has been replaced by a sulphur atom. A number of general synthetic methods are described for the synthesis of these 1,3-thiazines. The uracil analogues were prepared from the related 2-thio-1,3-thiazines, by acid hydrolysis of the 2-alkylthio derivative. 3,4-Dihydro-4-oxo-2-thio-2H-1,3-thiazine, its N-methyl and N-ethyl derivatives were obtained by cyclization of the addition compound resulting from the reaction of propiolic acid and the appropriate dithiocarbamic acid. The generality of this reaction, when propiolic acid is replaced with other acetylenic acids or their related esters, is discussed. The crystalline addition compounds obtained from dithiocarbamic acid and either propiolic acid or methyl propiolate were all shown by p.m.r, spectroscopy to have cis stereo-chemistry. The thymine analogues were prepared by an alternative route, which utilized the intramolecular cyclization of S-ethyl-N-(β-methoxymethacryloyl)dithiocarbamate to form 2-ethylthio-6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-1,3-thiazine, followed by acid hydrolysis of the 2-ethylthio group. Related intramolecular cyclization reactions of N-acyl-dithiocarbamates formed the 5-acetyl-, the 5-cyano-6-methyl-, the 5-cyano-6-ethyl-, and the 6-methyl-2-ethylthio-1,3-thiazine derivatives. A third approach involved the successful acid catalysed ring-opening-ring- closure of a. 4-oxo-2-thio-1,3-oxazine to the isomeric 2,4-dioxo-1,3-thiazine.

The first example of the palladium-catalyzed tandem addition/cyclization of 2-(benzylidenamino)benzonitriles with arylboronic acids has been developed. This transformation features good functional group tolerance and provides an alternative synthetic pathway to access 2,4-diarylquinazolines in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism for the formation of 2,4-diarylquinazolines involving sequential nucleophilic addition followed by an intramolecular cyclization is proposed.

Interaction of the Reformatsky reagents, prepared from methyl 1-bromocyclopentane-1-carboxylate or methyl 1-bromocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, with N,N′-bis(arylmethylidene)benzidines has given rise to a set of intermediates as a result of nucleophilic addition to the C=N group of a substrate. Further intramolecular attack of the amide nitrogen atom onto the ester carbonyl group is responsible for the ring closure, which affords two series of spirocompounds: 2,2′-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis(3-aryl-2-azaspiro[3.4]octan-1-one) or 2,2′-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis(3-aryl-2-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-1-ones).
