Cycloaddition Reactions of In Situ Generated C2D2 in Dioxane: Efficient Synthetic Approach to D2‐Labeled Nitrogen Heterocycles

We report here the preparation (in "one-pot") of a tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrin in about 80% yield by using an optimized modification of Lindsey's variant of the Adler–Longo approach. The Zn ( II )-, Cu ( II )- and Ni ( II )-complexes of the symmetrical porphyrin were prepared and characterized spectroscopically. Crystal structures of the fluorescent Zn ( II )- and of the non-fluorescent Ni ( II )-tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrinates showed the highly substituted porphyrin ligands to be nearly perfectly planar. The Zn ( II )-complex of this porphyrin has been used as a thermal precursor of a reactive diene, and — formally — of lateral and diagonal bis-dienes, of a tris-diene and of a tetra-diene, which all underwent [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions in situ with a range of dienophiles. Thus, the tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrin and its metal complexes represent reactive building blocks, "programmed" for the syntheses of symmetrical and highly functionalized porphyrins.

Nitrogen Containing Compounds

1,3,5-Trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazinanes (hexahydro-1,3,5-triazines), as stable and readily available surrogates for formaldimines, have found extensive applications for the construction of various nitrogen-containing compounds. The formaldimines, formed in situ from this reagent class, can participate in various aminomethylation and cycloaddition reactions. This short review presents recent advances in this field with emphasis on the conceptual ideas behind the developed methodologies and the reaction mechanisms.1 Introduction2 Aminomethylations with 1,3,5-Triazinanes3 Cycloadditions with 1,3,5-Triazinanes3.1 Use of 1,3,5-Triazinanes as Two-Atom Synthons3.2 Use of 1,3,5-Triazinanes as Three-Atom Synthons3.3 Use of 1,3,5-Triazinanes as Four-Atom Synthons3.4 Use of 1,3,5-Triazinanes as Six-Atom Synthons4 Conclusions

Oxazole Derivatives

Organohypervalent iodine reagents are widely used for the preparation of various oxazolines, oxazoles, isoxazolines, and isoxazoles. In the formation of these heterocyclic compounds, hypervalent iodine species can serve as the activating reagents for various substrates, as well as the heteroatom donor reagents. In recent research, both chemical and electrochemical approaches toward generation of hypervalent iodine species have been utilized. The in situ generated active species can react with appropriate substrates to give the corresponding heterocyclic products. In this short review, we summarize the hypervalent-iodine-mediated preparation of oxazolines, oxazoles, isoxazolines, and isoxazoles starting from various substrates.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of Oxazolines3 Synthesis of Oxazoles4 Synthesis of Isoxazolines5 Synthesis of Isoxazoles6 Conclusion

α-Chloro β-oxo sulfenyl chlorides 2 were reduced by iodide ions to the corresponding α-oxo thioketones 3 which dimerized in situ in a hetero-[4 + 2] cycloaddition to give the 1,3,4- oxadithiin derivatives 4. The α-oxo thioketones 3, in situ, cyclized also with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3- butadiene to give the corresponding adducts 5 and only in case of the oxo thioketone intermediate 3d two products 4d and 5d were obtained. Also, The α-oxo thioketones 3a,c, underwent in situ, cycloaddition with furan to give the corresponding adducts 6a,c together with the corresponding thioketone dimers 4a,c. When this reaction was carried out in the presence of diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or chalcone derivative 8, only the oxo thioketone dimers 4a-d were obtained.

Wittig Reagent

1,3-di-O-Cinnamoyl-glycerol is a natural compound isolated from a Jamaican medicinal plant commonly referred to as Ball moss (Tillandsia recurvata). The synthesis of this compound was achieved via a Wittig chemistry process. The synthetic approach started with acylation of a di-protected glycerol with cinnamoyl chloride, deprotection of the glycerol moiety, reaction of the primary alcohol with bromo acetylbromide followed by treatment with triphenyl phosphine to give the corresponding phosphonium bromide. The phosphonium bromide was then converted in situ to the Wittig reagent which is the basis for a novel route to 1,3-di-O-cinnamoyl glycerol. Four analogs were also synthesized, three of which are new and are being reported in this article for the first time. The new compounds include 3-(3,4-diemthoxy-phenyl)-acrylic acid 2-hydroxy-3-(3-ptolyl-acryloyloxy)-propyl ester (3), 2-acetoxy-5-((E)-3-(3-((E’)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acryloyloxy)-2-hydropropoxy)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)benzoic acid (4) and 4-((E)-3-(3-((E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acryloyloxy)-2-hydropropoxy)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)benzoic acid (5). The compounds showed no activity in our anticancer assay.
