Sensitized irradiation (benzophenone, 0�, N2, pyrex filter, medium pressure Hg lamp) of dimethyl tricyclo[4.2.1.02,5]nona-3,7-diene-3,4-dicarboxylate (11) in (E)-1,2-dichloroethene yielded a mixture of 1 : 1 adducts (13) and (14) by site selective [2 π+2 π] cycloaddition at the cyclobutene π-bond. Reduction of the (Z)-dichloro isomer(13) with lithium aluminium hydride formed the related diol (16) which is the immediate precursor to the cyclic ether (18). Dechlorination of (18) with zinc in ethanol forms the title diene (19). Thermolysis of the polycyclic diester (20) affords the fragmentation products cyclopentadiene and dimethyl benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate. In contrast, the title compound (19) containing the cyclic ether ring was more stable and yielded the novel isomer (28) as the major product only upon flash vacuum pyrolysis at 560�(1.5 × 10-2 Torr). This difference in behaviour is attributed to a pinching group effect exerted by the cyclic ether present in (19).

Some products from the oxidation of manool (3) are examined. Potassium permanganate gives, inter alia, the hitherto unreported compound (16) while sodium dichromate gives the methyl ketone (5) and, as the major product, a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (21). Hypoiodite oxidation of the methyl ketone (5) gives the α-hydroxy acid (26) in addition to the expected acid (6). Products of nucleophilic substitution have also been obtained from the hypoiodite oxidation of the methyl ketones (9) and (37). Peracid oxidation of the methyl ketone (5) gives the epoxy acetate (41) which, on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride, affords the diol (7), from which the odoriferous oxide (30) can be prepared. Oxidations leading to formation of the dione (10) are investigated.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (f.v.p.) of [2,3-13C2]triphenylene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (c. 22·5% 13C2) at 950°C gave a pyrolysate which was analysed by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. The principal product was [2,3-13C2]triphenylene. The second major product was a 1 : 2 : 1 mixture of [4,7- 13C2]-, [4,6-13C2]- and [5,6-13C2]-cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylenedioxy-7a-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-inden-1(7aH)-one (2) at 630� gave a good yield of 2-ethenyl-4,4-ethylenedioxy-1-methylcyclohex-1-ene (6), but at 740� p-cresol was the major product. The diene acetal (6) was also obtained by pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylene- dioxy-lβ-hydroxy-7a-methyl-1,2,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4H-indene-1α-carbonitrile (3) at 600�. Pyrolytic reactions of 7a-methyl-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-indene-1,5(6H)-dione (1), 5,5-ethylenedithio-7a- methyl-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-1-one (7) and of 1,1-ethylenedioxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex- 3-ene (8) are also described. Mild hydrolysis of the diene acetal (6) afforded 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-one (9) which upon brief treatment with dry hydrogen chloride in chloroform at 0� gave, after preparative thin-layer chromatography, a low yield of pure 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (11). The diene acetal (6) failed to undergo Diels-Alder reactions, even at high pressures with Lewis acid catalysts, and it reacted anomalously with two molecules of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione; the isomeric diene acetal 1-ethenyl-3,3-ethylenedioxy-6-methylcyclohex-1-ene (18) gave the expected Diels-Alder adduct with this reagent.

Fragmentation Reactions

Attempts have been made to effect fragmentation reactions with bromo- tetralone systems related to 6α-bromo-13-hydroxytotara-8,11,13-trien-7- one (VII), a compound which affords a secoditerpenoid (IX) when treated with DMSO-NaHCO3. On treatment with sulphuric acid in acetone, the mono- epoxide derivative (XXVIII) of the methyl ether of the secoditerpenoid undergoes a novel aromatization to a naphthalenic aldehyde (XXXI) by successive transannular cyclization and fragmentation reactions. ��� A 7β-hydroxy configuration has been confirmed for the major product from reduction of 13-acetoxytotara-8,11,13-trien-7-one (VIII) with lithium aluminium hydride. 13-Methoxytotara-8,11,13-triene (II) has been deisopropylated and then subjected to Birch reduction in an attempt to effect a high yield conversion into (+)-podocarp-8(14)-en- 13-one (XXXVII), a potentially useful intermediate for synthesis.

In this paper, we investigated the LiAlH4-reduction of 5-acetyl-1,6-dimethyl- 4-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (N-methylated Biginelli compound). Following the reduction and SiO2-promoted dehydration, (Z)-5-ethylidene-1-methyl-6- methylene-4-phenyltetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one was isolated as the major product (33% yield). Chromatographic separation of the reaction products also allowed us to isolate (yield in parentheses) and fully spectrally characterize: 1,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl- 5-vinyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (20%), 5-ethyl-1,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3,4- dihydro-pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (9%), 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-1,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3,4- dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (5%). A possible mechanism explaining the formation of these products is proposed.

Racemic dimethyl 4-methoxy- (11 and 12), diallyl 4-allyloxy- (13 and 14) and dimethyl 4-(ethylsulfanyl)-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (15 and 16) were prepared by base-catalyzed addition of methanol, allyl alcohol and ethylsulfane, respectively, to dimethyl (4-oxobut-2-en-1-yl)malonate (6). Deallylation of 13 and 14 afforded 4-hydroxycyclopentanes 27 and 28. Reduction of 11-16 with lithium aluminium hydride gave the corresponding 4-substituted 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanols. Dimethyl (2S,3S,4R)-, (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-4-formyloxy-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (35, 36) and dimethyl (2S,3S,4R)-, (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-2-benzoyloxy-4-methoxycyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates (39, 40) were synthesized starting from D-glucose. Reduction of dimethyl cyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates 39 and 40 with lithium aluminium hydride, benzoylation of the formed hydroxy derivatives, hydrogenolysis of benzyl groups, conversion of the liberated hydroxy groups into dithiocarbonates and their reduction with tributylstannane afforded, after removal of the protecting groups, (2R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxycyclopentan-2-ol ((2R,4R)-17) and (3R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxycyclopentan-3-ol (51). Reduction of a mixture of esters 35 and 36 gave (2R,3R)-2-benzyloxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)hexane-1,3,6-triol (52) as the major product and (2R,3S,4R)-3-benzyloxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-2,4-diol (53) as the minor product. The latter was converted into (3R,4R)-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-3,4-diol (58). 3-Deoxycarba analogues 51 and 58 arose by migration of benzoyl group in the preparation of the dithiocarbonates.

Naphthalene-1,2,-dicarboxylic anhydrides with neighbouring phenyl substituents give on flash vacuum pyrolysis (850-900°/0.02-0.04 mm) ring-contracted carbenes which insert into the phenyl groups. The 8- phenyl anhydride (7) gives acephenanthrylene (10) as the major product, and the 3-phenyl anhydride (15) gives 1,2 : 4,5-dibenzopentalene (indeno [2,1-a]indene) (18). The anhydrides (7) and (15) were � synthesized by pyrolysis of the corresponding 1-naphthylmethyl propynoates (2) and (13) through a new one-step process of intramolecular Diels -Alder addition/retro-Diels -Alder elimination of acetylene. 1-Phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (19) on pyrolysis at 960°/0.02 mm gives fluoranthene (11) as the major product. The behaviour of the 1-C6D5 compound (24) suggests involvement of a radical cyclization process.

Tertiary Hydroxyl

The alkaloid chasmanine, C25H41O6N, isolated from A. chasmanthum contains four methoxyl and two hydroxyl groups as well as an imino-ethyl. It undergoes the usual pyrolytic reaction and the unsaturated product, pyrochasmanine, C25H39O5N, gives rise to an acid-catalyzed allylic rearrangement product, isopyrochasmanine. Pyrochasmanine, on treatment with lithium aluminium hydride, is demethoxylated. It can be concluded that the base, like bikhaconine, contains the sequence [Formula: see text]. Chasmanine can be oxidized to a compound containing a cyclopentanone ring so that its second hydroxyl must be secondary and located on a five-membered ring. It is possible to benzoylate the secondary hydroxyl and acetylate the tertiary hydroxyl. The n.m.r. characteristics of the resulting double ester determine the location of these two groups and their stereochemistry. The relative position of two of the remaining methoxyl groups is established via a demethylation reaction resulting in the formation of a cyclic ether. All the chemical reactions studied are in agreement with structure IV (R = R′ = H) for chasmanine. There is, however, no positive proof for the location of the fourth methoxyl and it has been placed in ring A by analogy. An attempted correlation with bikhaconine is described.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of 5-azido-1-aryltetrazoles results in triple N<sub>2</sub> elimination and formation of aryl isocyanides RNC, which rearrange in part to aroylnitriles RCN under the reaction conditions. Similar FVP of 5-azido-1-arenesulfonyltetrazoles generates a compound absorbing in the IR spectrum (77 K) at 2090 cm<sup>-1 </sup>and assigned the structure of arenesulfonyl isocyanide, ArSO<sub>2</sub>NC <b>11</b>. FVP at temperatures above 600 <sup>o</sup>C results in progressively more nitrile ArSO<sub>2</sub>CN <b>12</b>. Compound <b>11</b> also disappears on warming above -80 <sup>o</sup>C
