The synthesis of analogues of cynandione B, a phenolic acetophenone from Cynanchum taiwanianum, is described. The one-step conversion of benzochromenones to the heptacyclic spiroacetal core of cynandione B using methylmagnesium bromide is investigated and structural requirements for this novel transformation established. X-ray crystal structure analysis has established the relative configuration in these unusual heterocycles.

Promoted by K2CO3 (2.0 equiv), the 1,3-dipolar [3+3] cycloaddition between 1, 4-benzodiazepinone-based nitrones and α-halohydroxamates processed smoothly under the mild reaction conditions and delivered structurally novel and complex cis or trans-configured d-edge-heterocycle-fused 1,4-benzodiazepinones in up to >99% isolated yield with >20:1 dr. The relative configuration of the title chemical entities was clearly identified with the use of X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The reaction mechanism was assumed to interpret the diastereoselective production of the obtained cis or trans-configured d-edge-heterocycle-fused 1, 4-benzodiazepinones.

Four novel stable enols (one characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis) were synthesized and investigated under oxidative conditions to yield benzofurans. Depending on the donor qualities of the heteroaryl substituent the reaction following the one-electron oxidation could be stopped on the stage of the cyclohexadienyl cation whose lifetime was measured. Oxidation potentials were determined for the enols, the enolates and the α-carbonyl radicals. Oxidation of benzofurans yielded dimeric species or intramolecular cyclization products.

AbstractThe morphan system (2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) as a substructure of morphine is of major interest in medicinal chemistry. Herein, the synthesis of morphan derivatives with additional substituents at the propano bridge is reported. In order to avoid the isolation of the smelly and volatile nitrile 6 and the very polar primary amine 9, an efficient one-pot, three-step sequential transformation of the mesylate 5 into amides 10 was developed. The key step of the synthesis was the stereoselective intramolecular opening of the epoxides 11a–d leading to the exo-configured 8-hydroxymorphans 12a–d. The configuration of the exo-configured hydroxymorphan 12d bearing the κ- and σ-pharmacophoric 3,4-dichlorophenylacetyl moiety was inverted by oxidation and stereoselective reduction. An X-ray crystal structure analysis of the benzamide 12c confirmed the relative configuration of the hydroxymorphans 12a–d and 14d.

Racemates of (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactone complex Fe(CO)3{η1:η3-C(O)XCH2CHCMeCH2} 1a (X = O) and (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactam complex 2a (X = NMe) are resolved on a preparative scale by HPLC on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)carbamate/silica gel RP-8 and the absolute configuration of (-)-2a is determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
