Irradiation of 2-methylbenzoyl cyanide (3a) in acetonitrile solution results in the formation of its dimer, which upon loss of HCN gives rise to the cycloadduct 7a. The dimerization also proceeds efficiently with derivatives of 3a giving adducts 7b and 7c. When 2-methylaroyl cyanides are photolyzed in the presence of a more reactive acyl cyanide the mixed adducts 8a–e are obtained in excellent yields. The cycloadducts 7a–c and 8a–e react with carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles by a tandem addition–cyclization sequence furnishing substituted naphthols (10a and 10b) and isoquinolones (11a–d), respectively. Isocoumarins 12a and 12b were prepared from the adducts 8a and 8e by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide in THF. Key words: naphthols, isoquinolones, isocoumarins, synthesis of; acyl cyanides; hetero Diels–Alder.

The electrochemical oxidation of a sacrificial metal anode (M = Zn, Cd, Cu) in an acetonitrile solution of 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone, lapachol, C15H14O3 (=HL) gives ML2. The results are in keeping with earlier work on direct electrochemical synthesis in related systems. Adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (tmen) have also been prepared. The structure of the 2,2′-bipyridine adduct of Cu(lapacholate)2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. The parameters are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text], a = 12.748(59) Å, b = 13.859(49) Å, c = 11.770(59) Å, α = 108.30(4)°, β = 108.08(3)°, γ = 68.94(3)°, Z = 2, R = 0.059 for 2256 unique reflections. The copper atom is in a distorted CuN2O2O2′ environment. The mechanism of the formation of this Cu(lapacholate)2 is discussed. Keywords: electrochemical synthesis, lapachol, X-ray crystallography, copper(II) complex.

The synthesis of a range of bicyclic Diels–Alder adducts (structures b) of cyclopentadiene with symmetrical and unsymmetrical azodicarbonyl compounds is described. Thermal isomerization of these adducts to the bicyclic 1,3,4-oxadiazines (structures c and d) is especially rapid with bulky acyl groups. In unsymmetrical adducts with acyl groups of markedly different size, the larger group dictates completely the direction of isomerization. Adducts with two different aroyl groups give both isomers.Spectroscopic properties of the adducts, the oxadiazines and the dihydro derivatives of the oxadiazines are described.

While the S-alkyl- or S-phenyl-2,3-butadienethioates 4 a-c are synthesized via the usual “Wittig ylide way”, the corresponding 2-methyl-2,3-butadienethioates 9 a-d and the 2-methyl-4.4-diphenyl-2,3-butadienethioates 9 e,f are obtained by condensation of the allenic acids 7 a,b with the thiols and thiophenols 8 in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and a catalytic am ount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). In contrast to N- or O-phenyl 2,3- butadienamides or -esters, resp., the phenyl derivatives of 4 and 9 do not undergo the intram olecular Diels-Alder reaction, but by heating, all representatives of 4 only decompose, while 9 a-d and 9 e,f rearrange to 3-alkyl(aryl)thio-2-cyclobuten-1-ones 12a-d and to 3-arylthio- 1-naphthols 14a, b, resp. Heating of the cyclobutenone 12d in the presence of N-methylaniline furnishes the 2-butenanilide 16. On reacting 1-phenylthio-1-propyne 17 with diphenylketene 18, the diphenylacetate 19 is isolated, where the naphthol derivative 14a represents the ester moiety.
