The reaction of lithium dienolates derived from N,N-dialkylsenecioamides (1a–1c) with triorganosilyl electrophiles occurs initially at the oxygen atom predominantly, and is followed by an O → C silicon migration to afford the γ-silylated senecioamides (4a–4h). The γ-silylated senecioamide Z-4a undergoes fluoride-ion-mediated condensations with aromatic aldehydes to give kinetic α-(6) and thermodynamic γ-(5) condensation product patterns comparable to lithium dienolates. The TiCl4-mediated reactions with aldehydes gives α-products (6) in a highly syn-selective manner. Possible transition-state models for the syn-selective condensations are discussed and a chair-like transition state featuring bidentate coordination to titanium (11) is proposed.

Phthalic Anhydrides

Condensations of stabilized phosphorane 1 with 3-substituted phthalic anhydrides were investigated. The importance of various effects influencing regio- and stereoselectivity of these reactions is discussed. It is proposed that the oxygen atom on the substituents in position 3 can act as a Lewis base toward the electron-deficient phosphorus of the ylid. The resulting complexation stabilizes the transition state for the reaction at the ortho carbonyl group, thus offsetting the usual steric and "push" effects, which favour attack at the meta carbonyl function. Keywords: Wittig condensations, phthalic anhydrides, regioselectivity, stereoselectivity.

Rearrangement Reaction

Sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol and its fluorine derivatives has been studied theoretically in gas phase and its energy barrier has been calculated. Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) shows sigmatropic rearrangement of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol is pericyclic in nature whereas fluorine derivatives show pseudopericyclic and pericyclic nature. Substitution of fluorine atom at ring is found to increase the energy barrier for –OH migration, while substitution at oxygen atom reduces the barrier. To know the involvement of lone pair of electrons during the reaction, lone pair electron present on oxygen atom is locked by hydrogen bonding. CR-CCSD(T)/6-311+G** levels are used to study the reactions more accurately.

State Models

Model calculations of primary and secondary deuterium isotope effects for the hydroxide-induced deprotonation of 2-nitropropane are reported. Various transition-state models have been examined in an effort to reproduce experimental results. A purely pyramidal transition state in which proton transfer has run far ahead of carbon rehybridization and charge delocalization is a successful model as far as isotope effects are concerned, but may fail on other counts. Three incipient trigonal models for the transition state have been tested, and, although none can be firmly eliminated by the resultant isotope effects, those involving the proton transfer's running ahead of electron delocalization and perhaps carbon rehybridization are favoured.

Methyl Transfer

Using ab initio molecular orbital theory mainly at the 3-21+G level, intramolecular SN2 methyl transfer between two oxygens confined within a rigid template is found to proceed exclusively by a high energy retention mechanism when the oxygens are separated by three or four bonds, and by a high energy inversion mechanism when the oxygens are separated by six bonds. Both mechanisms exist when the oxygens are separated by five bonds. The CH3/CD3 kinetic isotope effects are normal (1.21-1.34) in the retention processes and inverse (0.66-0.81) in the inversion reactions. In the case of inversion, compression of C-H bonds of the transition state by structural effects in the plane perpendicular to the O-C-O plane increases the inverse isotope effect. The retention barriers are high because retention is inherently unfavorable, even when pericyclic stabilization of the transition state is possible. The inversion barriers are high because a rigid template cannot accommodate a linear O-CH3 -O structure, and the O-C-O bending vibration is stiff (the Eschenmoser effect). Using a novel design strategy, a nonrigid template has been found in which the barrier and the CH3/CD3 kinetic isotope effect are the same as in an intermolecular reaction.Key words: Eschenmoser effect, isotope effect, compression, SN2, sigmatropic rearrangement.
