Multistep Process

Highly functionalized and annulated 2,4-cyclooctadienones are formed in a stereoselective manner by sequential treatment of squarate esters with a lithiated enecarbamate (six-membered ring or larger) and a cycloalkenyl- or 1-alkenyllithium reagent. The mechanistic details of this multistep process are presented. Particular attention is drawn to the step that involves intramolecular nucleophilic attack by a proximal oxido anion at the carbamate carbonyl and results in redirection of the cascade. This step is thwarted when five-membered cyclic enecarbamates are employed because of the excessive buildup of ring strain in the associated transition state.Key words: squarate esters, enecarbamates, conrotatory ring opening, intramolecular acylation, alkenyllithium reagents.

Aziridine Ring

Strained azirinium ylides derived from 2H-azirines and α-diazoketones under Rh(II)-catalysis can undergo either irreversible ring opening across the N–C2 bond to 2-azabuta-1,3-dienes that further cyclize to 2H-1,4-oxazines or reversibly undergo a 1,5-cyclization to dihydroazireno[2,1-b]oxazoles. Dihydroazireno[2,1-b]oxazoles derived from 3-aryl-2H-azirines and 3-diazoacetylacetone or ethyl diazoacetoacetate are able to cycloadd to acetyl(methyl)ketene generated from 3-diazoacetylacetone under Rh(II) catalysis to give 4,6-dioxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene and/or 5,7-dioxa-1-azabicyclo[4.3.1]deca-3,8-diene-2-one derivatives. According to DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)), the cycloaddition can involve two modes of nucleophilic attack of the dihydroazireno[2,1-b]oxazole intermediate on acetyl(methyl)ketene followed by aziridine ring opening into atropoisomeric oxazolium betaines and cyclization. Azirinium ylides generated from 2,3-di- and 2,2,3-triaryl-substituted azirines give rise to only 2-azabuta-1,3-dienes and/or 2H-1,4-oxazines.

Second-order rate constants for the hydroxide-ion-catalyzed imidazolium ring-opening of several mono- and dinucleosidic analogs of mRNA 5'-cap have been determined. Intramolecular stacking of the two nucleobases in the dinucleosidic analogs, m7GpppN (m7G = 7-methylguanosine, N = 5'-linked nucleoside), and electrostatic interaction between the N-alkylated imidazolium ring and phosphate moiety have been shown to shield the m7G moiety against the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion. In addition, the effect of methylation of the nucleobase amino groups and replacement of the 7-methyl group with other alkyl groups have been studied. The influence of all the structural modifications studied turned out to be modest, the cleavage rates of the most and least reactive analogs (with the exception of non-phosphorylated nucleosides) differing only by a factor of 5.

Intramolecular Reactions

Fumaratotriazoline (1) and amidotriazoline (3) undergo thermal first-order transformations in solution at 65 °C. The former affords the isomeric pyrrole 5 and its hydrolysis product 6. A mechanism involving opening of the initial five-membered ring to form 8, followed by closure to a new five-membered ring (9), is proposed. Amidotriazoline (3) loses N2 on heating to form 19. The experimental results are best accommodated in terms of a novel mechanism involving an electrocyclic ring closure, a [3 + 2] cycloreversion to form an ylide, a sigmatropic rearrangement of the ylide, and, finally, an electrocyclic ring-opening reaction.
