The Pd(0) based synthesis of two disilyl synthons (Z-1-trimethylsilyl-6-tert-butyldiphenylsilylhex-3-ene-1,5-diyne (18) and Z-1-trimethylsilyl-6-triisopropylsilylhex-3-ene-1,5-diyne (19)) and the selective removal of the trimethylsilyl group (K2CO3, MeOH) to afford 24 and 25 is described. These building blocks are employed in the construction of the taxamycin-12 compound 38 (16,17,18-trimethyl-2-methyloxymethoxy-9-hydroxybicyclo[9.3.1]pentadec-5-ene-3,7-diyne). The final ring closure to the 12-membered ring utilizes an intramolecular Cr–Ni mediated condensation of the iodoalkyne 37 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-(2-oxoethyl)-4-(Z-1-methyloxymethoxy-7-iodohept-4-ene-2,6-diynyl)cyclohexene). Keyword: cancer, enediynes, synthesis, Pd(0) coupling.

The properties of isomeric azulene derivatives based on 7- versus 5-membered ring substitution were examined by the synthesis and characterization of well-defined electroactive oligomers.

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.

AbstractA new tin(II) borate with the composition SnB8O11(OH)4 was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/n (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a=790.1(1), b=1402.2(2), c=994.8(1) pm, and β=90.40(5)° (Z=4). The new compound SnB8O11(OH)4 is isotypic to PbB8O11(OH)4 and isostructural to BaB8O11(OH)4. The borate layers are built up from fundamental building blocks (FBBs) with the composition [B8O11(OH)4]2−. Four of these FBBs form a nine-membered ring wherein the Sn2+ cations are located. These boron-oxygen layers are further connected by O–H···O hydrogen bond interactions. The characterization of SnB8O11(OH)4 is based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, vibrational spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and thermoanalytical investigations including high temperature powder XRD.

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.

Mass spectra of chelate-6-rings (N-oxide-chelates) are similar to those of comparable chelate-5-rings after elimination of oxygen from the fragment ion (M-C6H5). It is assumed that the fragment ion [(M-C6H5)-O] exists as a five-membered ring.However, there are two exceptions which are: The diphenyl boron chelate of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid anilide N-oxide with O-B-O-coordination and the difluorine boron chelate of 8-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide. The stable fragment OBX (X = C6H5F) is eliminated directly from the fragment ion (M-X). It is assumed the ring closure in [(M-X)-O] obviously is less favoured. The preparation of both 5-ring-chelates using the components is impossible, too.
