Thermolysis of 2-acyloxy-2,5,5-trialkyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines in benzene solution at 80 °C furnishes acyloxy-substituted enol ethers (hemiacylals) in high yield. Mixtures of cis:trans isomers of such oxadiazolines afford mixtures of isomeric hemiacylals in nearly the same ratio. Those and other results are rationalized in terms of cycloreversion of the oxadiazolines to carbonyl ylides that are not equilibrated during their lifetimes and undergo primarily 1,4-sigmatropic H-migration. Some fragmentation of the ylides to anhydrides and carbenes was also observed. A consistent mechanistic account includes concerted suprafacial (4π + 2π) cycloreversion in the sense that places a large ylide substituent at C-1 or at C-3, preferentially exo. A smaller preference for the cycloreversion that places the acetoxy group at C-1 in the endo position, when the steric effect of the alkyl group at C-1 is small, can be inferred. The possibility that the overall 1,4-H shift is the result of sequential 1,7-antarafacial and 1,4-suprafacial shifts, in some cases, is considered.

Regiospecific formation of 10-allyl-1-ketoquinolizidine (7) is achieved in high yield by a [2.3] sigmatropic rearrangement of N-allyl-1-ketoquinolizidinium bromide (6). Wolff–Kischner reduction of 7 affords 10-allylquinolizidine (8) contaminated by the 10-propyl and 10-ethynyl analogs in amounts which depend on the reaction conditions. The carbon-13 spectrum of 8 indicates a trans-fused ring system with an axial substituent at C-10.

The reactions of 0,O-dialkyldithiophosphato complexes, {(R0)2PSz}zM (M = Zn, Cd, Hg), to form dimers and 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 adducts with pyridine have been studied calorimetrically in benzene solution a t 30�C. While variation of the alkyl group has little effect, variation of the metal atom causes marked changes in both free energies and enthalpies of reaction. Average values of thermodynamic data obtained are as follows (AGOao3 and AH0300 in k J mol-l, AS0a03 in J K-l mol-l) :

The AlH2Cl hydrogenolysis of ether solutions of 2-alkoxytetrahydrofurans in which the alkoxy group is either CH3O, C2H5O, i-C3H7O, or t-C4H9O, gives only those products resulting from ring C—O bond cleavage. However, substituents at C-5 of 2-methoxytetrahydrofuran exert a strong effect on the ratio of ring to exo C—O bond cleavage. Thus, alkyl (electron donor) groups at C-5 promote an increase in the amount of exo cleavage, the proportion increasing from 62.5 to 100% as the C-5 alkyl group is changed from CH3 to t-C4H9. In contrast, electron withdrawing substituents, CH3OCH2— and C6H5, at C-5 favor ring cleavage to the extent of 93 and 84% respectively.The results are interpreted in terms of the influence that these substituents exert through their electronic properties on the relative ease of attainment of the transition state leading to either ring C—O or exo C—O bond cleavage. However, evidence is provided to show that the bulk steric effect of these substituents also controls, though to a minor extent, the proportion of ring to exo cleavage.

<div>A nickel-catalyzed regiodivergent hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of unactivated alkenyl carboxylic acids is reported, whereby the ligand environment around the metal center dictates the regiochemical outcome. Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization products are obtained under mild ligand-free conditions, with up to 99% yield and >20:1 selectivity. Alternatively, anti-Markovnikov products can be accessed with a novel 4,4-disubstituted Pyrox ligand in excellent yield and >20:1 selectivity. Both electronic and steric effects on the ligand contribute to the high yield and selectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest a change in the turnover-limiting and selectivity-determining step induced by the optimal ligand. DFT calculations reveal that in the anti-Markovnikov pathway, repulsion between the ligand and the alkyl group is minimized (by virtue of it being 1° versus 2°) in the rate- and regioselectivity-determining transmetalation transition state. <br></div>

3-Alkyl-2-hydroxyindolines, conveniently prepared from 2-hydroxyindolenines and a Grignard reagent, cyclize in the aprotic solvent tetrahydrofuran to afford tetrahydro-3-cyano-2-oxofuro[2,3-b]indoles, while in the protic solvent methanol the chemoselectivity changed to give dihydro-2-amino-3-carbomethoxyfuro[2,3-b]indoles. The steric effect of the alkyl group on the reactivity of 3-alkyl-2-hydroxyindolines is discussed for both processes. The ring transformation of tetrahydro-3-cyano-2-oxofuro[2,3-b]indoles into dihydro-2-amino-3-carbomethoxyfuro[2,3-b]indoles via γ-lactone imines is also discussed.

Thermodynamic data have been obtained for the formation in benzene solution of adducts of nickel(11) O-alkylxanthate complexes with one molecule of 2,2'-bipyridine or two molecules of pyridine or 4-methylpyridine. The results show that changes in the free energy and enthalpy of adduct formation with variation of the alkyl group in the xanthate can be explained wholly by inductive effects; there is no evidence for steric effects even with branched alkyl chains.

Symmetric and unsymmetric 2,2-diaryloxy-5,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines were synthesized by oxidative cyclization of aryloxycarbonyl hydrazones of acetone with lead tetraacetate and subsequent treatment of the product mixture with a phenol in acidic solution. Thermolysis of the oxadiazolines in benzene solution at 110°C afforded carbonyl ylide intermediates that cyclize, in part, to the corresponding 2,2-diaryloxyoxirane intermediates. The oxiranes, which were not observed, are required to account for the 1,1-diaryloxy-2-methylpropenes (ketene acetals) that were isolated. Most of the carbonyl ylides fragment to acetone and diaryloxycarbenes. The latter form dimers (tetraaryloxyethenes) or they can be trapped with phenols to form orthoformates. Diphenoxycarbene was also trapped with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD). The method appears to be the first for generating the parent diphenoxycarbene under relatively mild conditions in solution, and the only one to date for generating unsymmetrically substituted diaryloxycarbenes. Minor competing fragmentations of the oxadiazolines to 2-diazopropane and the appropriate diaryl carbonates, were also observed.Key words: diarylcarbonate, diaryloxycarbene, diaryloxy oxadiazoline, ketene acetal, orthoformate.

Nucleophilic displacement of the acetoxy group of cephalosporanic acids by thiols in aqueous solution at neutral pH provides 3-thiomethyl-substituted compounds with a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity. The aqueous displacement reaction is often destructive of much of the cephalosporanic acid, and products generally require extensive purification. Displacements at a lower pH are complicated by unwanted lactone formation. However, reactions conducted under acid conditions in a variety of anhydrous organic solvents give 3-thiomethyl-substituted compounds in very high yield and quality; no lactone formation is observed. The kinetics of the reaction support an S N 1 mechanism. Protonation of the departing acetoxy group appears therefore critical; the more basic solvents, e.g. dimethylsulphoxide and N , N -dimethylformamide, significantly retard the rate of reaction.
