Six-membered cyclic anhydrides, including glutaric and some of its alkylated derivatives, have been shown to yield enol-lactones with ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane; the (E)isomer is formed preferentially. The reactions of methyl-substituted succinic anhydrides with the same phosphorane give predominantly the (E) enol-lactone in all examples. The influence of alkyl substitutents on the rates of the reactions and the product ratios in both the succinic and glutaric anhydride series is discussed.

Cyclic Anhydrides

The reactions of stabilized phosphoranes with cyclic anhydrides give enol-lactones as final products. The initial condensation, however, leads to the formation of acyclic adducts that are observable by NMR, can be easily trapped, and, in some cases, can be isolated. A study of the mechanism of these condensations by NMR spectroscopic methods and by various trapping experiments is described and the reaction pathway is proposed.

Cyclic Anhydrides

The structure of an isolated acyclic intermediate in the Wittig reaction between succinic anhydride and ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane has been shown by X-ray structure analysis and DEPT n.m.r .to be the phosphorane (4a) rather than the alternative phosphonium salt (4b). However, an intermediate was not observed in the Wittig reaction between the phosphorane (1b) and cyclic anhydrides. Both the stabilized phosphoranes (1a,b) react with succinic, phthalic and glutaric anhydrides stereoselectively to produce E enol lactones. Some mechanistic aspects are discussed. The assignment of the enol lactone stereochemistry was achieved by n.O.e. difference n.m.r. methods.

Phthalic Anhydrides

It has been established that the Wittig reaction between cyclic anhydrides and methoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane, a reaction used for the preparation of enol-lactones, proceeds via an acyclic intermediate acylated phosphorane for the three classes of anhydrides studied: succinic, maleic and phthalic. The formation of the acyclic intermediate can be irreversible or reversible, depending on the structure of the anhydride. The stereochemistry of the enol-lactones produced is not controlled by the initial reaction of the anhydride with the ylide but either during or after cyclization of the acyclic intermediate. Product formation appears to be under kinetic control with all the anhydrides studied. The influence of substituents in substituted phthalic anhydrides has been investigated.

Deficient Phosphorus

Phosphorane ylids react readily with succinic anhydrides to give enol-lactones. With highly substituted succinic anhydrides, condensations occur at the less substituted carbonyl group, suggesting that the reaction is sterically controlled. This, however, is not the case in monosubstituted anhydrides where effects other than steric become dominant. Condensation of phosphorane 1a with methoxysuccinic anhydride occurs selectively at the carbonyl group adjacent to the substituent. Stabilization of the transition state through complexation between the oxygen atom of the substituent and an electron-deficient phosphorus of the ylid is proposed. Keywords: cyclic anhydrides, Wittig reaction, regioselectivity, stabilized ylid.

Wittig Reactions

The synthesis of halo enol lactones from cyclic anhydrides via lactonization of the corresponding keto phosphoranes provides a direct route to these interesting compounds, which possess important biological properties and are useful intermediates in organic synthesis. In this paper we outline the syntheses of several halo enol lactones and discuss mechanistic consequences of these reactions on the understanding of Wittig reactions with cyclic anhydrides. Keywords: halolactonization, cyclic anhydrides, halo enol lactones, Wittig reaction mechanism.

Anthracene Derivatives

Anthracene derivatives have been used for a wide range of applications and many different synthetic methods for their preparation have been developed. However, despite continued synthetic efforts, introducing substituents in some positions has remained difficult. Here we present a method for the synthesis of 2,3,6,7-substituted anthracene derivatives, one of the most challenging anthracene substitution patterns to obtain. The method is exemplified by the preparation of 2,3,6,7-anthracenetetracarbonitrile and employs a newly developed, stable protected 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbaldehyde as the precursor. The precursor can be obtained in two scalable synthetic steps from 2,5-dibromoterephthalaldehyde and is converted into the anthracene derivative by a double intermolecular Wittig reaction under very mild conditions followed by a deprotection and intramolecular double ring-closing condensation reaction. Further modification of the precursor is expected to enable the introduction of additional substituents in other positions and may even enable the synthesis of fully substituted anthracene derivatives by the presented approach.<br>
