Rh-Catalyzed rearrangement of vinylcyclopropane to 1,3-diene units attached to N-heterocycles

چکیده
Dienes embedded in quinolizidine and indolizidine structures can be prepared in four steps from cyclic nitrones and bicyclopropylidene. The key intermediates α-spirocyclopropanated N-heterocyclic ketones, generated via a domino 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/thermal rearrangement sequence, were converted by Wittig methylenation to the corresponding vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs), which underwent rearrangement to 1,3-dienes in the presence of the Wilkinson Rh(I) complex under microwave heating. The previously unexplored Rh(I)-catalyzed opening of the VCP moiety embedded in an azapolycyclic system occurs at high temperature (110-130 °C) to afford the corresponding 1,3-dienes in moderate yield (34-53%).

The tin(IV)-catalyzed reaction of β-nitrostyrene with (E)-3-methyl-1,3-pentadiene in toluene afforded two major nitronic ester cycloadducts in 27% and 29% yield that arise from the reaction at the less substituted diene double bond. Also present were four cycloadducts from the reaction at the higher substituted diene double bond, two of which were the formal cycloadducts of (Z)-3-methyl-1,3-pen...
متن کاملTotal synthesis of (-)-pseudolaric acid B.
We report a full account of our work toward the total synthesis of pseudolaric acid B (1a), a diterpene acid isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (pinaceae). Compound 1a is an antifungal and antifertility agent. Furthermore, its capacity for inhibiting tubulin polymerization makes it a potential lead for cancer therapy. Herein, we describe the use of a Ru- or Rh-catalyzed [5 +...
متن کاملReactions of Vinylcyclopropane and Bicyclopropyl Compounds With Maleic Anhydride
Vinylcyclopropane and bicyclopropyl C6 compounds are studied as diene precursors in the Diels-Alder reaction. Their rearrangement under different thermal and microwave conditions leads to specific isomeric hexa-, pentaor butadienes, condensed with maleic anhydride as a dienophile. Adduct stereochemistries were compared to those of previously-synthesized model compounds, and are fully characteri...
