Fulvenes (1) add ketenes (2) in a [ π 2 + π 2] manner to give bicyclo[3.2.0]heptenes (3). Ring cleavage with sodium methoxide yields dihydrofulvenes (4) which can be deliydrogenated to give fulvenes (5), whereas the acid catalyzed ring opening reaction of 3 leads to fulvenes (6). The structure of 3h has been clarified by X-ray crystallography.

The acid-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of a cyclopropanated 3-aza-2-oxabicylic alkene using alcohol nucleophiles were investigated. Although this acid-catalyzed ring-opening reaction did not cleave the cyclopropane unit as planned, this represent the first examples of ring-openings of cyclopropanated 3-aza-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]alkenes that lead to the cleavage of the C–O bond instead of the N–O bond. Different acid catalysts were tested and it was found that pyridinium toluenesulfonate in methanol gave the best yields in the ring-opening reactions. The scope of the reaction was successfully expanded to include primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol nucleophiles. Through X-ray crystallography, the stereochemistry of the product was determined which confirmed an SN2-like mechanism to form the ring-opened product.

The attempted synthesis of a β-keto imidazolidinone nitroxide by oxidation of the β-hydroxy imidazolidinone precursor with hydrogen peroxide and sodium tungstate led to an unexpected ring-opening reaction to produce 1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-3-oxo-2-pentanoic acid 1-oxide (13) in high yield. The structure of 13 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. A β-fragmentation mechanism is suggested for the oxidative ring-opening reaction.

The ultraviolet and 1H n.m.r. spectra of some 1-polymethyleneimino-2,4-dinitrobenzenes and related compounds are discussed. The effect of trifluoroacetic acid on these spectra was also investigated; with 1-azetidinyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene, acid-catalysed ring opening was observed. The solid-state conformation of 1-(cis-2′,6′-dimethylpiperidin-1′-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzene has been defined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Triclinic crystals belong to the space group P–1 with a 8.165(1), b 7.865(1), c 11.148(1) Å, α 95.23(1), β 106.00(1), γ 92.63(1)˚ and Z 2. The structure was refined to a final R of 0.048 for the 2222 observed data. In the crystal, the phenyl ring adopts a slight boat conformation, while the amino and o-nitro groups are significantly twisted from the mean plane of the ring.

Abstract [3+2] cycloadditions of ynones derived from glycine and (S)-alanine and some other dipolarophiles with azomethine imines, nitrile oxides, diazoacetate, and azidoacetate were studied. The dipolarophiles were obtained from α-amino acids, either by the reduction of the carboxy function with ethynylmagnesium bromide or by propiolation of the amino function. Cu-catalyzed cycloadditions of ynones to azomethine imines were regioselective and gave the expected cycloadducts as inseparable mixtures of diastereomers. In some instances, further oxidative hydrolytic ring-opening took place to afford 3,3-dimethyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propanoic acids. Acid-catalyzed cycloadditions of 3-butenone were also regioselective and provided mixtures of diastereomeric cycloadducts, which were separated by chromatography. In the reactions of title ynones with alkyl diazoacetates, in situ-formed benzonitrile oxides, and tert-butyl azidoacetate, all cycloadducts were obtained as single regioisomers. The structures of all novel compounds were established by nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray diffraction.

AbstractEpoxidation of olefinic heterocyclic amines and subsequent acid-catalyzed hydrolysis or alternatively the direct dihydroxylation with the help of osmium tetroxide led to diols, which underwent ring cleavage in the presence of lead tetraacetate to give 3-isopropyl-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-azahexanedial and 3-tert-butyl-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-azapentanedial. Whereas the former dialdehyde is a highly unstable model compound because of a rapid intramolecular aldol reaction, the latter product proves to be isolable at room temperature. Furthermore, this compound is the first open-chain tri-tert-alkylamine establishing in a new record of steric crowding in tertiary amines. Strong tendencies to a Hofmann-like elimination reaction or to ring-closing reactions were observed when the aldehyde units of 3-tert-butyl-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-azapentanedial were transformed into other functionalities, since both types of reactions led to a significantly decrease of the steric stress.

Here we present the synthesis, the biophysical properties, and the RNase H profile of 6’-difluorinated [4.3.0]bicyclo-DNA (6’-diF-bc4,3-DNA). The difluorinated thymidine phosphoramidite building block was synthesized starting from an already known gem-difluorinated tricyclic glycal. This tricyclic siloxydifluorocyclopropane was converted into the [4.3.0]bicyclic nucleoside via cyclopropane ring-opening through the addition of an electrophilic iodine during the nucleosidation step followed by reduction. The gem-difluorinated bicyclic nucleoside was then converted into the corresponding phosphoramidite building block which was incorporated into oligonucleotides. Thermal denaturation experiments of these oligonucleotides hybridized to complementary DNA or RNA disclosed a significant destabilization of both duplex types (ΔT m/mod = −1.6 to −5.5 °C). However, in the DNA/RNA hybrid the amount of destabilization could be reduced by multiple insertions of the modified unit. In addition, CD spectroscopy of the oligonucleotides hybridized to RNA showed a similar structure than the natural DNA/RNA duplex. Furthermore, since the structural investigation on the nucleoside level by X-ray crystallography and ab initio calculations pointed to a furanose conformation in the southern region, a RNase H cleavage assay was conducted. This experiment revealed that the oligonucleotide containing five modified units was able to elicit the RNase H-mediated cleavage of the complementary RNA strand.
