The Diels–Alder reactivity of various 2H-thiopyrans bearing electron-donating substituents has been investigated. The approximate order of reactivity among the 2H-thiopyrans studied was 4,6-disubstituted [Formula: see text] 5-substituted > 4-substituted, 3,5-disubstituted [Formula: see text] 3-substituted. Good yields of predominantly endo adducts are obtained with reactive dienophiles. With less reactive dienophiles, reactions are much slower and yields are attenuated due to the competing thermal decomposition of the dienes under the reaction conditions. The adducts obtained are equivalent (via desulfurization) to those from unreactive cis-substituted dienes. Key words: Diels–Alder, 2H-thiopyran.

Diels-Alder reaction between furan and α-chloroacrylonitrile gives a mixture of exo-2-chloro-and endo-2-chloro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbonitrile (4) and (5). Mild hydrolysis affords the corresponding α-chloro acid mixture, from which the endo carboxylic acid may be removed through iodo lactone formation. Catalytic hydrogenation of (4) and (5) followed by hydrolysis, acyl azide formation, Curtius rearrangement, and hydrolysis of the resulting mixture of a-chloro isocyanates yields 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptan-2-one (1) in preparatively useful amounts. Reduction of (1) gives only endo alcohol, and Baeyer-Villiger reaction proceeds with exclusive bridgehead atom migration. Thermal decomposition of the sodium salt of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone of (1) affords 7-oxatricyclo[2.2.1 .02,6]heptane.

A method for preparing YBa2Cu3O7−x from the simultaneous thermal decomposition of the nitrates of yttrium, barium, and copper in an anhydrous fused eutectic of sodium and potassium hydroxide is described. This method eliminates the need for any mechanical grinding or the introduction of carbon containing anions. Products formed are fine powders (∼1 μm) having mole ratios 1.00Y:2.00Ba:3.06Cu.X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the initial products are Y(OH)3, BaO2, and CuO, which when air calcinated/oxygen annealed at 900–950 °C form the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x A mechanism is postulated for product formation as a function of reaction conditions.

Irradiation of 2-methylbenzoyl cyanide (3a) in acetonitrile solution results in the formation of its dimer, which upon loss of HCN gives rise to the cycloadduct 7a. The dimerization also proceeds efficiently with derivatives of 3a giving adducts 7b and 7c. When 2-methylaroyl cyanides are photolyzed in the presence of a more reactive acyl cyanide the mixed adducts 8a–e are obtained in excellent yields. The cycloadducts 7a–c and 8a–e react with carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles by a tandem addition–cyclization sequence furnishing substituted naphthols (10a and 10b) and isoquinolones (11a–d), respectively. Isocoumarins 12a and 12b were prepared from the adducts 8a and 8e by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide in THF. Key words: naphthols, isoquinolones, isocoumarins, synthesis of; acyl cyanides; hetero Diels–Alder.

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 use of 3-carboxylated 2,5-dihydrothiophenes as the dienophilic component of the Diels–Alder reaction has been investigated. The yields are generally quite low. The formation of conjugated dienes that are aminated at an interior position of the conjugated chain by formation and thermal decomposition of 3-acetamido-2,5-dihydrothiophenes appears to be a viable route to these useful compounds. One example of the Diels–Alder reaction of 2-carboxylated diethyl vinylphosphonates is reported.


By mass-spectrometric analysis combined with vapour-phase chromatography the reaction products from the thermal decomposition of ether have been determined at various stages of the reaction (uninhibited and inhibited by nitric oxide) for initial ether pressures of 80 to 1000 mm. The effects of added hydrogen and of carbon tetrafluoride on the composition of the products have also been examined. No major changes in the chemistry of the reaction occur with these variations in conditions. Factors are given for calculating true rate constants from pressure changes accompanying the reaction. Corrected values of rate constants vary with the conditions in the same way as the values derived from uncorrected pressure changes, the correspondence being close for the uninhibited reaction.

A study of Diels–Alder reactions of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (II) coupled with development of two improved procedures for the generation of benzyne, one of which affords a practical route to the reactive dienophile 1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endo-oxide (Ia), led to an investigation of the reaction of Ia and II. At 80° these reactants combine readily to give the adduct IIIa, which is cleaved on pyrolysis to isobenzofurane VIIIa and 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylbenzene (IX). The transient existence of isobenzofurane (VIIIa) was established by trapping it with the 1,4-endo-oxide Ia and isolation of the adducts X and XI. In confirmation of the interpretation, X and XI were obtained by independent synthesis from the adduct Va from Ia and α-pyrone and thermal decomposition of Va in the presence of Ia as trapping agent. Parallel experiments with 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endo-oxide, as well as mixed additions, supported the interpretations advanced. Evidence is presented to show that isobenzofurane (VIIIa) invariably adds exo to the bicyclic dienophile.
