Fumaratotriazoline (1) and amidotriazoline (3) undergo thermal first-order transformations in solution at 65 °C. The former affords the isomeric pyrrole 5 and its hydrolysis product 6. A mechanism involving opening of the initial five-membered ring to form 8, followed by closure to a new five-membered ring (9), is proposed. Amidotriazoline (3) loses N2 on heating to form 19. The experimental results are best accommodated in terms of a novel mechanism involving an electrocyclic ring closure, a [3 + 2] cycloreversion to form an ylide, a sigmatropic rearrangement of the ylide, and, finally, an electrocyclic ring-opening reaction.

A straightforward chiral pool synthesis for the first fluorinated calystegin is described. Key steps of this synthesis include an ultrasound-assisted Zn-mediated tandem ring opening reaction followed by a Grubbs’ catalyst-mediated ring closure metathesis reaction. The target compound is a selective and competitive inhibitor for a β -glycosidase.

Starting from the conveniently available ex-chiral pool building block (R,R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, the ten-membered ring lactones stagonolide E and curvulide A were synthesized using a bidirectional olefin-metathesis functionalization of the terminal double bonds. Key steps are (i) a site-selective cross metathesis, (ii) a highly diastereoselective extended tethered RCM to furnish a (Z,E)-configured dienyl carboxylic acid and (iii) a Ru–lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution to establish the desired configuration at C9. Ring closure was accomplished by macrolactonization. Curvulide A was synthesized from stagonolide E through Sharpless epoxidation.

Open chain intermediates from the ring-opening reaction of aqueous sodium deuteroxide (2 mol) with 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (1 mol) and 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (1 mol) were isolated. These intermediates were purified, analyzed for elemental composition, and characterized by various spectrophotometric techniques. The intermediate formed from 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine and two equivalents of deuteroxide ion reacts with additional deuteroxide in D2O in various polar solvents to reclose the pyridine ring. The kinetics of the ring closure reaction are reported and are supplemented with observations of salt and solvent effects upon the rate of closure. In addition, a mechanism for the ring closure is presented. The intermediate formed from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine did not undergo a similar ring closure when reacted with additional deuteroxide, but instead formed various decomposition products. A reason for the failure of this ring closure is suggested.

Treatment of 3-oxetanol with carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) and triphenylphosphine (PPh3) under mild condition provides an efficient route for synthesis of 3-bromo-1,2-propanediol. The experimental results showed that an unexpected ring-opening reaction was selectively achieved under the routine bromination reaction condition.

This article reports on the reaction of 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles with aromatic amines as N-nucleophiles. 2-Hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles represent versatile building blocks in syntheses of ω-(N-aryl)alkyl substituted heterocycles due to the presence of 1,3-bielectrophilic acrylonitrile fragment functionalized with unsaturated heterocyclic ring and nucleophilic azaheterocyclic moiety. The carbonyl group masked within the N-arylpyrrolidinylidene fragment which undergoes a ring opening through the reaction with nucleophiles. So, a method for the synthesis of 2-hetaryl-6-hydroxy-3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles and 2-hetaryl-2-(N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles has been developed by us. The proposed scheme is based on the available reagents using. As a result of Michael addition, the aromatic amines to 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles followed by ring transformations has formed two types of products, depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction of substituted furanylylideneacetonitriles with aromatic amines proceeds in good to high yields affording the corresponding 3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles and 2-(N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles derivatives. The stereochemistry of the ring-opening reaction follows the rules of a classical SN2 mechanism. The resulting linear products can be cyclized to 2-hetaryl-2-(furanyl-2-ylidene)acetonitriles in high yields by treatment with the catalytic amount of acid or the equimolar amount of aromatic amines. Under these conditions 2-hetaryl-6-hydroxy-3-(arylamino)hex-2-enenitriles arising from reaction gives the ring closure. Since both ring-opening and cyclisation occur with fixed stereochemistry the reaction appears a valuable modification to the preparation of acetonitriles derivatives.

Two new spiroindolinonaphthoxazine derivatives with an electron-accepting styrylquinolizinium or styrylcoralyne unit, respectively, were synthesized, and the influence of such an arylvinyl substituent on the chemical and photochemical properties of the compounds was investigated. Specifically, these spirooxazines turned out to be resistant towards the photoinduced merocyanine formation, and the irradiation with light mainly led to photodegradation of the substrates. However, it was shown by colorimetric and fluorimetric screening assays as well as by detailed NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric studies that the addition of particular metal ions (Cu2+, Fe3+, and to a certain extent Hg2+) initially induced a ring-opening reaction that was irreversibly followed by a fast ring closure–deprotonation–oxidation sequence to give styryl-substituted naphthoxazole derivatives as the products quantitatively. For the quinolizinium-substituted spirooxazine derivative, the formation of the respective oxidation product caused the development of a broad absorption band between 425 nm and 500 nm and a new emission band at λfl = 628 nm, so that it may be employed as a selective chemosensor or chemodosimeter for the colorimetric and fluorimetric detection of Cu2+ and Fe3+.

The thermal and photochemical conversion of (1R*,2R*,3S*), (1S*,2R*,3S*), and (1S*,2R*,3R*)-1-acetyl-1,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropane (1, 2, and 3) to cis- and trans-2,3,4-trimethyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydrofurans has been studied. Concurrent with this reaction is an equilibration of 1, 2, and 3, a thermal ring opening of 1 by a 1,5-hydrogen shift, and a cyclopropane-to-propene type reaction under the photochemical conditions. The dihydrofuran from 1 and 2 by the thermal and photochemical conditions is 97% trans- and 3% cis- corresponding to predominant retention at the migrating carbon. The dihydrofuran formed from 3 by the thermal and photochemical reaction is 85% cis- and 15% trans- again corresponding to predominant retention. A kinetic study of the rearrangement of 1-acetyl-1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopropane to 1,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydrofuran provides Ea of 48.1 kcal/mol and log A of 14.9 for this first order reaction in the temperature range of 255–288 °C.It is concluded that the thermal and photochemical reactions occur by a non-concerted process through a common 1,3-diradical intermediate in which bond rotation and ring closure steps are competitive.

Esterification of citric acid (CA) with the primary alcohols and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose chain (n = 1-2) in parched condition were investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) method and a two-layer ONIOM approach. Geometry and energy of reactants, products, and transition state (TS) structures were optimized at B3LYP/6-311g (d, p) level and ONIOM (B3LYP/6-311g (d, p):PM3MM) level. The computational results show that the esterification occurs in the two main steps: the first step is the dehydration reaction of CA to form anhydrides of 5-membered ring and 6-membered ring and the second step is the ring opening reaction with the hydroxyl –OH groups to form the ester products. The energy barrier of dehydration reaction step is much higher than that of ring opening reaction step. Effect of substituent R in primary alcohol R-CH2OH (R: CH=CH2, CH2NHCH3, CH2OCH3, CH2Cl) and cellulose chain (1G, 2G) on the reactivity, which has negative inductive effect –I, is significant. The combination of calculation data and experiment data were applied to make findings more rigorous. The activation energy of CA was determined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis to be E a exp  = 47.8 kcal/mol; the experimental data favoured the dehydration reaction step of CA.

A new photochromic diarylethene of 1-(3,5-dimethyl-4-isoxazole)-2- (2-methyl-(5-ethynyl)-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized. Its photochromic and fluorescence properties were investigated systematically. Upon irradiation with UV light with the extended response time, the diarylethene underwent a ring opening reaction to produce closed forms and color change in solution. The results showed the compound exhibited good photochromism in hexane solution. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene1oalso exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.
