Abstract Perfluoro-3-phosphapent-2-ene F5C2 P =C (F )CF3 (1) has been prepared for the first time by thermal elimination of trimethyltin fluoride Me3SnF from trim ethylstannyl-bis(pentafluoroethyl)- phosphane Me3SnP(C2F5) 2 at 300 °C/10−3 Torr. 1 is found to be less stable than F3CP = CF2 in dilute solution at room temperature, forming several 1,3-diphosphabutane dimers. Reactivity studies accomplished till now include (i) the dienophilicity of 1 in [2+4] cycloaddition reactions with butadiene, 2,3-dim ethylbutadiene, cyclopentadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 2-methylbutadiene, and 2-methylfuran leading by a concerted mechanism to the Diels-Alder-adducts 2-7 in about 80% yield, (ii) the addition of proton acidic compounds HX (X = OMe, Br, NMe2, NEt2) to the PC double bond affording chiral phosphanes of the type F5C2 P(X)CF(CF3)H [X = OMe (8). Br (9). NMe2 (10). NEt2 (11)]. thus proving a stronger polarity δ+P =δ−C for 1 than for F3CP = CF2. New compounds have been characterized by NMR and MS measurements.

The silenes A and B are formed by reacting 1,3-ditbutyl-2,4-dichloro-2,4-divinyl-1,3-diaza- 2.4-disilacyclobutane (2) and 1,3-dichloro-2,4-dineopentyl-1,3-divinyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane (15) with LiBut in n-pentane in the temperature range from −10 to 0 °C. The reaction primarily leads to the corresponding α-lithioadducts (addition of LiBut to the vinyl group of 2 and 15), and with subsequent 1,2-LiCl elimination yields A and B as intermediates. A can be trapped by polar reagents Me3SiX (X = OMe, OSO2CF3) as well as by organic dienes which add across the Si = C bond; in the absence of a trapping agent the spiro compound 6 is isolated. The silenes A and B differ in their cycloaddition behaviour to butadienes, norbornadiene and cyclohexa-1,3-diene: Whereas for A the regioselective [2 + 2]-cycloaddition to yield monosilacyclobutane derivatives is preferred due to electronic reasons, the reaction of B leads mainly to Diels-Alder products. Thus, A is quite comparable in its reactivity to dichloroneopentylsilene, while B reacts like its diorgano substituted analogues R2Si = CHCH2But (R = Me, But or Ph).

Diastereoselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of benzyl azide, diazomethane, a nitrile oxide and a nitrile imine to α-methylidene-γ-lactone dipolarophile was effectively controlled by a bulky γ-substituent, 4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-yl in γ-position of the dipolarophile. The dipoles added from the less hindered face of the double bond with an excellent selectivity. Enantiomerically pure dipolarophile was prepared from the easily available (S)-5-oxotetrahydrohydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid.

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

The title compound, C14H22O4S, was synthesized as a precursor for intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition reactions. The (E)-buta-1,3-dienyl and methacrylate ester systems adopt an s–trans conformation in the solid state, with the two π units in both cases being almost coplanar.
