Studies on the reactions of carcinogenic γ-lactones and related compounds with analogues of guanine DNA residues indicate that the lactones themselves will not effect permanent alkylation of the guanine N-7 position since the Michael addition reactions involved would be readily reversible. In contrast, the α,β-unsaturated acids resulting from hydrolysis of such lactones are effective guanine N-7 alkylating agents owing to zwitterionic stabilization of the corresponding Michael addition products.

Abstract Cyclic and polycyclic compounds containing moieties such as imidazole, pyrazole, isoxazole, thiazoline, oxazine, indole, benzothiazole and benzoxazole benzimidazole are prized molecules because of the various pharmaceutical properties that they display. This led Prof. Landor and co-workers to engage in the synthesis of several of them such as alkylimidazolenes, oxazolines, thiazolines, pyrimidopyrimidines, pyridylpyrazoles, benzoxazines, quinolines, pyrimidobenzimidazoles and pyrimidobenzothiazolones. This review covers the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds by the Michael addition and the double Michael addition of various amines and diamines on allenic nitriles, acetylenic nitriles, hydroxyacetylenic nitriles, acetylenic acids and acetylenic aldehydes. The heterocycles were obtained in one step reaction and in most cases, did not give side products. A brief discussion on the biological activities of some heterocycles is also provided.

DFT studies on the activation mechanism of the Michael addition reactions containing bifunctional tertiary amine–thioureas and isatylidene malononitriles have been performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.

Rate constants for the Michael addition of CN− in water, aqueous sulfolane, and DMSO, and MeO− in MeOH to eight mono- and disubstituted 1,1-diaryl-2,2-dinitroethylenes were measured. The ρ values are in the range 0.7 (CN−/H2O) –1.6 (MeO−/MeOH). For each of the four systems a correlation was found between log k and the 13C chemical shift of the carbon that undergoes the nucleophilic attack. However, the quality of the correlation as well as the slope decreases with decreasing ρ values. Analysis of the electronic configuration of the transition state using the curve crossing model shows that the traditional interpretation of the location of the transition state should be reversed. This analysis provides a rationale for the observed dependence of the chemical shift – rate correlation on the ρ value.

The Michael addition of diethyl malonate to 1-cyclohexene cyanide has been shown to give a mixture of the cis- and trans-diethyl 2-cyanocyclohexylmalonates in 72% and 28% yields respectively. The stereochemistry of the products was established by their unambiguous conversion to the respective cis- and trans-decahydroisoquinolines. Hydrogenation of a cyclohexane cyanide to the corresponding aminomethyl derivative takes place with retention of configuration. A number of substituted decahydroisoquinolines of known stereochemistry have been prepared. Decahydro-3,4-dioxoisoquinoline-4-phenylhydrazone underwent Fischer cyclization to a product assumed to be 2-oxo-octahydroindolo[2,3-d]isoquinoline indicating that the observation that 4-methyl-2,3-dioxopiperidine-3-phenylhydrazone did not undergo cyclization is not general for such 4-substituted piperidones.

A simple and efficient synthesis of Hagen's gland lactones was achieved using a sequential α-aminoxylation/oxa-Michael approach in a highly diastereoselective manner with assignment of relative configurations.
