    Gold- and Silver-Catalyzed Tandem Amination/Ring Expansion of Cyclopropyl Methanols with Sulfonamides as an Expedient Route to Pyrrolidines

    CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 33 2008
    Weidong Rao
    Abstract An efficient synthetic route to pyrrolidines that relies on AuCl/AgOTf-catalyzed tandem amination/ring expansion of substituted cyclopropyl methanols with sulfonamides is reported herein. The reactions proceed rapidly at 100,°C with catalyst loadings as low as 2,mol,% and produce the pyrrolidine products in yields of 30,95,%. The method was shown to be applicable to a broad range of cyclopropyl methanols, including unactivated ones, and sulfonamide substrates containing electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, and sterically-demanding substituents. The mechanism is suggested to involve activation of the alcohol substrate by the AuCl/AgOTf catalyst, followed by ionization of the starting material, which causes ring opening of the cyclopropane moiety and trapping by the sulfonamide nucleophile. The resultant aminated acyclic intermediate undergoes subsequent intramolecular hydroamination to give the pyrrolidine. [source]

    Ring Expansion of 2-(,-Hydroxyalkyl)azetidines: A Synthetic Route to Functionalized Pyrrolidines

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2008
    François Durrat
    Abstract A series of 2-(,-hydroxyalkyl)azetidines synthesized from enantiomerically pure ,-amino alcohols and presenting various patterns both on the four-membered ring and on the adjacent hydroxy group were treated with either thionyl chloride or methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The thus-prepared 2-(,-chloro- or ,-methanesulfonyloxyalkyl)azetidines were shown to rearrange stereospecifically into 3-(chloro- or methanesulfonyloxy)pyrrolidines. When this rearrangement is conducted in the presence of an added nucleophile (NaN3, KCN, KOH, or NaOAc), the produced pyrrolidine incorporates the added nucleophile at C-3 stereospecifically. The relative configuration of the substituents in the formed pyrrolidines is consistent with a mechanism involving the formation of an intermediate bicyclic aziridinium ion, which is opened regioselectively at the bridgehead carbon atom.

    Ring Expansion versus Cyclization in 4-Oxoazetidine-2- carbaldehydes Catalyzed by Molecular Iodine: Experimental and Theoretical Study in Concert

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 10 2010
    Benito Alcaide
    Abstract Molecular iodine (10,mol%) efficiently catalyzes the ring expansion of 4-oxoazetidine-2-carbaldehydes in the presence of tert -butyldimethylsilyl cyanide, or allylic and propargylic trimethylsilanes to afford protected 5-functionalized-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidin-2-ones with good yield and high diastereoselectivity, through a C3C4 bond cleavage of the ,-lactam nucleus. Interestingly, in contrast to the iodine-catalyzed reactions of 3-alkoxy-,-lactam aldehydes which lead to the corresponding ,-lactam derivatives (rearrangement adducts), the reactions of 3-aryloxy-,-lactam aldehydes under similar conditions gave ,-lactam-fused chromanes (cyclization adducts) as the sole products, through exclusive electrophilic aromatic substitution involving the C3 aromatic ring and the carbaldehyde. In order to support the mechanistic proposals, theoretical studies have been performed. [source]


    Divergent Reactivity of 2-Azetidinone-Tethered Allenols with Electrophilic Reagents: Controlled Ring Expansion versus Spirocyclization

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 4 2010
    Benito Alcaide
    Abstract A dual reactivity of 2-azetidinone-tethered allenols may occur by judicious choice of the electrophilic reagents, namely halogenating versus selenating reagents. Using common substrates, structurally different compounds, namely tetramic acids (from N -bromosuccinimide) or spirocyclic seleno-,-lactams (from N -phenylselenophthalimide), can be readily synthesized by these divergent protocols.

    Ring Expansions of Tetrahydroprotoberberines and Related Dibenzo[c,g]azecines Modulate the Dopamine Receptor Subtype Affinity and Selectivity

    ARCHIV DER PHARMAZIE, Issue 4 2010
    Maria Schulze
    Abstract The affinities of tetrahydroprotoberberines for dopamine receptors dramatically decrease after cleaving the central C-N bond to the analogous ten-membered dibenzo[c,g]azecines [1]. In the present work, we also synthesized eleven-membered homologues of these heterocycles and measured the affinities of the resulting dibenzazaundecenes and their underlying homoberberines for human dopamine receptors as well as the cytotoxic effects of all target compounds on human glia cells. The tetracyclic iso-C-homoberberine-derivatives revealed to be D4 -selective antagonists, while all other active compounds showed a significant D1/D5 selectivity. Distances in energy-minimized conformations were measured in order to explain our findings. [source]

    A Nearly Planar Stannene with a Reactive Tin,Carbon Double Bond

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 12 2008
    Abdoul Fatah
    Abstract Bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-2,7-di- tert -butylfluorenylidenestannane, Tip2Sn=CR2, an isolable stannene that displays a deep-purple colour, was synthesized by dehydrofluorination of the corresponding fluorostannane by tert -butyllithium. It exhibits the shortest Sn=C distance [2.003(5) Å] and the slightest twisting around this unsaturation (10°) among the known stannenes. Its reaction with benzaldehyde according to a [2+2] cycloaddition and that with ,-ethylenic aldehydes and ketones such as crotonaldehyde and methyl vinyl ketone by a [2+4] cycloaddition proceeded in near-quantitative yield. With acetone, an ene reaction occurred. The four-membered ring 1,2-oxastannacyclobutane obtained with benzaldehyde underwent a ring expansion with a second molecule of benzaldehyde to afford the six-membered ring dioxastannacyclohexane.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
