The Diels-Alder addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to sterically hindered 2,4-cyclohexadienones (spiro-quinol ethers) gives rise to stereoisomeric bicyclo[2.2.2]octadienones. The structures of three of these have been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods and their 1H n.m.r. and electronic absorption spectral properties are reported.

The structure of the compound obtained on heating the naturally occurring clerodane furanoditerpene (1) had been formulated as (2) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the dihydro derivative of (2) has confirmed this and provides support for the stereochemistry previously assigned to (1) on the basis of chemical evidence.

AbstractReaction of 1,2-hydroxyketones 5 with (2,2-diethoxyvinylidene)triphenylphosphorane (2) or (2,2-diethoxyvinyl)triphenylphosphonium tetrafluoroborates 6 yields the 2,2-diethoxy- 2.5-dihydrofurans 9. Depending on the reaction conditions used, the orthoesters 9 can be hydrolized to give 2(5 H)furanones 10 and 2-ethoxyfurans 11, respectively. 4,5-Dimethyl- 5.6-dihydro-2-pyranone (20) and 8-methoxycoumarin (23) are prepared, starting from (2,2-diethoxyvinyl)triphenylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate (6 a) and 1-hydroxy-2-methyl- 3-butanone (16) or 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde (21). The 2-ethoxyfuranes 11 readily undergo Diels-Alder reactions with 2-chloracrylonitrile (24), maleic anhydride (26), N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (28) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (30) to give the corresponding Diels-Alder products 25, 27, 29 and 31, respectively. Contrary to 2-ethoxyfuran 11b , 11a reacts with two equivalents of acetylene 30, to yield barrelenone 34. The structure of 34 unequivocally is established by X-ray structure analysis.

The azomethine ylide generated from the reaction of a corrole-3-carbaldehyde and N-methylglycine was trapped with dimethyl fumarate, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and fullerene C60 in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. A similar azomethine ylide generated from a corrole-2-carbaldehyde was trapped with 1,4-naphthoquinone, yielding the expected dehydrogenated 1,3-dipolar cycloadduct and a quinone-fused corrole derivative. A detailed synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the gallium(III)(pyridine) complex of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole-3-carbaldehyde is also presented.

Δ3-1,3,4-Oxadiazolines (1) that share their C2 with C4 of a β-lactam ring in a spiro fusion were prepared. The structures were established through single crystal X-ray diffraction of 1a and by infrared, 1H, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. Thermolysis of 1 at 100 °C, in benzene containing dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, afforded spiro-fused β-lactam cyclopropene 12 in 33% yield. Similar thermolysis of 1b in the presence of ethyl phenylpropiolate gave spiro-fused β-lactam cyclopropene 13 (32%). The molecular structure of 12, determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, has the two ester carbonyl carbons out of the plane of the cyclopropene ring by about 0.17 Ǻ, indicating substantial nonbonded steric interactions and suggesting unusually high strain energy. At 154.5 °C, 12 underwent isomerization to 19, presumably through a vinyl carbene intermediate.

In Diels–Alder reactions, 2H-pyran-2-ones as dienes can yield a large variety of cycloadducts with up to four contiguous carbon stereogenic centers. Some of the potentially most useful, however difficult to prepare due to their low thermal stability, are the primary CO2-containing oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octenes, which could be formed as eight distinctive isomers (two sets of regioisomers, each of these composed of four different stereoisomers). A high-pressure synthesis of such products was recently described in a few cases where vinyl-moiety-containing dienophiles were used as synthetic equivalents of acetylene. However, structures of the primary products have been so far only rarely investigated in detail. Herein, we present seven novel single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of such cycloadducts of both stereoisomeric forms, i.e., endo and exo. Additionally, we present a single-crystal structure of a rare case of a cyclohexadiene system stable at room temperature, obtained as a secondary product upon the retro-hetero-Diels–Alder elimination of CO2 under thermal conditions (microwave irradiation), during this elimination the symmetry is increased and out of eight initially possible isomers of the reactant, this number in the product is decreased to four. In oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octene compounds, centrosymmetric hydrogen bonding was found to be the predominant motif and diverse supramolecular patterns were observed due to rich variety of C–H⋯O and C–H⋯π interactions.

N1, N4,3,6-Tetramethyl- N1, N4-diphenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1,4-dicarboxamide was prepared from 3,6-dimethyl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate and N-methylaniline. Its structure was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This reaction yields the title compound rather than N1, N2,3,6-tetramethyl- N1, N2-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1,2- dicarboxamide. The central tetrazine ring of the title compound exhibits a boat conformation and is therefore not homoaromatic.

The thermal treatment of [Ru2(CO)6(μ-η1,η2-C4H3O){μ-P(C4H3O)2}] 1 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) at 110 °C leads to cyclotrimerization of DMAD. The cyclotrimerization product hexamethyl benzenehexacarboxylate, [C6(COOCH3)6] 2, was obtained in 37% yield and characterized by a combination of spectroscopic data and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P1bar with a = 10.3002(12), b = 11.0371(13), c = 18.781(2) Å, α = 76.148(2), β = 87.390(2), γ = 74.001(2)°, Z = 4 and V = 1992.2(4) Å3.

Abstract Fe[C5(C6H5)5](CO)2Br (1) reacts with m-xylene at 80°C followed by hydrolysis with diluted HCl in the presence of air, to give [Fe(η6-C6H4{1,3-(CH3)2})(775-C5(C6H5)5)]+[FeCl4]- (3). The 1H, 13CNMR and mass spectra as well as the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the proposed sandwich cation structure. 3 crystallizes in the space group P 21/n with a = 984,0(1), b = 2201,0(7), c = 1684,9(2) pm, β = 91,94(1)° and V = 3647(1) x 10-30m3. The final refinement resulted in R = 0,054 for 2982 observed reflections with F0 ≥4σ (F0)

N1, N4-Di- tert-butyl-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1,4-dicarboxamide was prepared from 3,6-dimethyl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, and its structure was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This reaction yields the 1,4-dicarboxamide derivative rather than the 1,2-dicarboxamide derivative. The central six-member ring of the title compound has a boat conformation and therefore, is not homoaromatic.
