A thermally-induced, tandem [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/[2 + 2] cycloaddition approach to carbocyclic spirooxindoles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of C3-carbocyclic spirooxindoles was realized by way of an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between a vinylidene indolin-2-one and an alkyne. The cycloaddition reaction occurs selectively with the distal double bond of the allene, is tolerant of a phenyl and trimethylsilyl group on the terminus of the alkyne, and can be used to access bicyclo[4.2.0]octadienes and bicyclo[5.2.0]nonadienes. The allene precursors are not observed, but are likely intermediates of an infrequently encountered thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of a propargylic acetate.

Sigmatropic rearrangements in 5-allyloxytetrazoles.
Mechanisms of thermal isomerization of allyl tetrazolyl ethers derived from the carbocyclic allylic alcohols cyclohex-2-enol and 3-methylcyclohex-2-enol and from the natural terpene alcohol nerol were investigated. In the process of the syntheses of the three 1-aryl-5-allyloxytetrazoles, their rapid isomerization to the corresponding 1-aryl-4-allyltetrazol-5-ones occurred. The experiments showe...
متن کامل[3,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement/5-exo-dig cyclization reactions of benzyl alkynyl ethers: synthesis of substituted 2-indanones and indenes.
Substituted benzyl alkynyl ethers, prepared from the corresponding α-alkoxy ketones in a two-step sequence involving enol triflate formation and KOtBu-induced E2 elimination, undergo [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/intramolecular 5-exo-dig cyclization at 60 °C to form substituted 2-indanones in good overall yields. 1,3-cis-Disubstituted-2-indanones are formed preferentially when the benzylic su...

The stereoselective synthesis 4′,6′-dually branched carbocyclic nucleosides was accomplished in this study. The introduction of a methyl group in the 6′(α)-position was accomplished by Felkin-Anh controlled alkylation. The construction of the required 4′(α)-quaternary carbon was carried out using a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Bis-vinyl 6 was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs’ catalyst I...
متن کاملGold-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of sulfonylacetylene with allyl ethers: [3,3]- and [1,3]-rearrangements
Gold-catalyzed intermolecular couplings of sulfonylacetylenes with allyl ethers are reported. A cooperative polarization of alkynes both by a gold catalyst and a sulfonyl substituent resulted in an efficient intermolecular tandem carboalkoxylation. Reactions of linear allyl ethers are consistent with the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement mechanism, while those of branched allyl ethers provided [3...
متن کاملN[1,3]-Sigmatropic shift in the benzidine rearrangement: experimental and theoretical investigation.
The N[1,3]-sigmatropic shift in the benzidine rearrangement has been studied in depth experimentally with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The designed substituted N,N'-diaryl hydrazines rearrange exclusively to the expected o/p-semidines and diphenylines. Intercrossing experiments support the intramolecular rearrangement process. Radical trapping experiments exclude the...
