Utilizing thujone-derived intermediates, efficient routes to the natural polygodial family of antifeedants as well as novel analogues within this family are described. One of the key features of this study involves the insertion of an oxygen function into a tertiary carbon center adjacent to a cyclopropane ring system thus providing convenient intermediates for subsequent elaboration. An interesting ring expansion of five-membered to six-membered ring systems by means of tri-n-butyltin hydride is also described. Keywords: antifeedants, polygodial, thujone.

In the title compounds, C22H20N2O4S, (I), and C22H19ClN2O4S, (II), the pyrrolidine rings have twist conformations on the spiro–spiro C—C bonds. In (I), the five-membered ring of the oxindole moiety has an envelope conformation with the spiro C atom as the flap, while in (II) this ring is flat (r.m.s. deviation = 0.042 Å). The mean planes of the pyrrolidine rings are inclined to the mean planes of the indole units [r.m.s deviations = 0.073 and 0.069 Å for (I) and (II), respectively] and the benzothiophene ring systems (r.m.s. deviations = 0.019 and 0.034 Å for (I) and (II), respectively) by 79.57 (8) and 88.61 (7)° for (I), and by 81.99 (10) and 88.79 (10)° for (II). In both compounds, the ethoxycarbonyl group occupies an equatorial position with an extended conformation. The overall conformation of the two molecules differs in the angle of inclination of the indole unit with respect to the benzothiophene ring system, with a dihedral angle between the planes of 71.59 (5) in (I) and 82.27 (7)° in (II). In the crystal of (I), molecules are linkedviapairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers enclosingR22(14) loops. The dimers are linkedviaC—H...O and bifurcated C—H...O(O) hydrogen bonds, forming sheets lying parallel to (100). In the crystal of (II), molecules are again linkedviapairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers but enclosing smallerR22(8) loops. Here, the dimers are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons propagating along [010].

A facile approach to hitherto unknown ten-membered ring systems via a hydrolytic imidazoline ring expansion (HIRE) is described. Medium-sized rings are scarce in the contemporary medicinal chemistry toolbox. The new HIRE strategy broadens the arsenal of synthetic methods to obtain such scaffolds.

PH-functional phosphanes containing a 2-pyridyl substituent in α- or β-position to phosphorus, e.g. 2-C5H4N - [CH2]n-PRH (R = H, iPr, tBu, Ph; n = 1,2) have been obtained. The reactivity of the PH-groups can be employed for the synthesis of tridentate NPN-hvbrid donors. [2-C5H4N -CH2-CH2]2PR (R = H. Ph). The phosphanes 2-C5H4N-[CH2]n-PRH behave as monodentate ligands in transition metal complexes and form labile chelate ring systems. They may bridge metal-metal bonds to form seven membered ring systems, e.g. Mo2PC3N. The coordination of the N-donor of the ligands 2-C5H4N - [CH2]n-PRH to a transition metal atom is indicated by a lowfield shift and a small 31P - 13C-splitting of the 13C{1H} NMR signal of carbon atom 6 in the pyridin ring system.

AbstractThis Short Review highlights various synthetic approaches to bridged azabicyclic ring systems containing seven-membered carbocyclic rings. Such ring systems are common to a number of biologically active natural products. The seven-membered ring in such systems is generally formed in one of four ways: 1) cyclization of an acyclic precursor; 2) ring expansion or rearrangement of a different ring size; 3) cycloaddition; and 4) use of a synthetic building block with the seven-membered ring already present. Representative examples of each approach from both total synthesis and methodological studies are discussed, with an emphasis on work publishedin the last twenty years.1 Introduction2 Cyclization Reactions3 Ring Expansions and Rearrangements4 Cycloadditions5 Strategies Involving Seven-Membered Ring Building Blocks6 Conclusion

In the title compound, C20H10Cl3N5O, the 13-membered ring system makes dihedral angles of 78.64 (9)° with the trichlorophenyl ring and 62.60 (10)° with the pyridine ring. The crystal packing is dominated by π–π interactions between the 13-membered ring systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6655 (11)°].

The effect of the bulk of the sidechain on the rate of solvolysis of 1-alkyl cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl chlorides has been studied. With the exception of the t-butyl systems, the ratio of solvolysis rates for the three ring systems falls in a given series. The slower rate of solvolysis in the six-membered ring system may be due to an extra activation energy contribution caused by the conversion of a neutral chair form to the twist boat or half chair conformation, prior to the actual solvolysis. In the case of five- and seven-membered ring systems the formation of an intermediate carbonium ion is sterically favoured (I-strain or eclipsing interaction) consistent with earlier findings. The faster rate of solvolysis of 1-t-butylcycloalkyl chlorides is likely due to a rearrangement reaction where alkyl participation enhances the rate of solvolysis.

ABSTRACTThis paper models maximum entropy configurations of idealized gravitational ring systems. Such configurations are of interest because systems generally evolve toward an ultimate state of maximum randomness. For simplicity, attention is confined to ultimate states for which interparticle interactions are no longer of first order importance. The planets, in their orbits about the sun, are one example of such a ring system. The extent to which the present approximation yields insight into ring systems such as Saturn's is explored briefly.
