The configuration and conformation of the two isomeric methyl enol ethers of acetylacetone (1) have been unequivocally demonstrated. The n.m.r. solvent shift data and observation of nuclear Overhauser effects support an s-cis conformation for the more stable isomer 2 bearing acetyl trans to methoxyl while indicating an s-trans conformation for the less stable enol ether 3 having acetyl cis to methoxyl. The facile acid-catalyzed isomerization of 3 to 2 apparently proceeds by reversible protonation of carbonyl oxygen since no deuterium incorporation is observed when the isomerization is performed in acetic acid-d4.

The solution conformation of the homogeneous, heparin-derived tetrasaccharide ΔUA2S(1 → 4)-α-d-GlcNpS6S(1 → 4)-α-l-IdoAp2S(1 → 4)-α-d-GlcNpS6S (residues A, B, C and D respectively, where IdoA is iduronic acid) has been investigated by using 1H- and 13C-NMR. Ring conformations have been defined by J-coupling constants and inter-proton nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs), and the orientation of one ring with respect to the other has been defined by inter-ring NOEs. NOE-based conformational modelling has been done by using the iterative relaxation matrix approach (IRMA), restrained molecular dynamics simulations and energy minimization to refine structures and to distinguish between minor structural differences and equilibria between various ring forms. Both glucosamine residues B and D are in the 4C1 chair conformation. The 6-O-sulphate group is oriented in the gauche–trans configuration in the D ring, whereas in the B ring the gauche–gauche rotomer predominates. Uronate (A) and iduronate (C) residues are mostly represented by 1H2 and 2S0 twisted boat forms, respectively, with small deviations in expected coupling constants and NOEs suggesting minor contributions from other A and C ring conformations.

The boron difluoride complexes of 2-acetylcyclohexanone, 2-acetylcyclopentanone, and acetylacetone (abbreviated as ACHBF2, ACPBF2, and AABF2) were irradiated in the presence of benzene to give the 1:1 adducts as the primary photoadducts; for certain BF2 complexes, toluene, chlorobenzene, benzonitrile, and methyl benzoate were also used as substrates. The 1,5-diketone photoadducts were assumed to form by a [2+2] photocycloaddition followed by cyclobutane opening and hydrolysis to give 1,2 adducts. They undergo a variety of secondary thermal reactions, probably acid catalyzed, to give enol ethers, enol acetates, acetophenones, and ketonylacetophenones. The efficiency of these secondary reactions determines the final products. Photoaddition with a monosubstituted benzene preferentially occurs at the 3,4 bond without regioselectivity. Under oxygen, ACHBF2 photolytically reacts with benzene to give a secondary oxidation product of a 10-membered cyclic alkylphe-none, which is proven by X-ray crystallographic analysis to have the benzene ring and carbonyl group in orthogonal orientation. It is shown that the singlet excited state ACHBF2 initiates the photoaddition, probably through the formation of the benzene exciplex, which could be detected by its emission. While the Stern–Volmer rates are small, the quantum yield of photoaddition products is as high as 0.12–0.19 under limiting conditions. Key words: [2+2] photocycloaddition, non-planar alkanophenone, macrocyclic alkanophenone, boron difluoride complexes, photoaddition to benzenes.

A stereodivergent synthesis of enantiopure 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans is presented. The addition of lithiated enol ethers to carbohydrate-derived nitrones afforded syn- or anti-configured hydroxylamine derivatives 4a–d that were cyclized under Lewis acidic conditions to yield functionalized dihydropyrans cis- or trans-5a–d containing an enol ether moiety. This functional group was employed for a variety of subsequent reactions such as dihydroxylation or bromination. Bicyclic enol ether 19 was oxidatively cleaved to provide the highly functionalized ten-membered ring lactone 20. The synthesized enantiopure aminopyrans 24, 26, 28 and 30 can be regarded as carbohydrate mimetics. Trimeric versions of 24 and 28 were constructed via their attachment to a tricarboxylic acid core.
