TL;DR: In this paper, the power of cycloadditions for ring formation derives from the potential for chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity, and three types of conjunctive reagents appear to be promising candidates: (1) selected 4-alky-lidene-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazoles, (2) 2-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]allyl esters and halides, and (3) alkylidenecycloprop
Abstract: The power of cycloadditions for ring formation derives from the potential for chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Trimethylenemethane (TMM) and its equivalents offer the possibility of extending such benefits to the synthesis of five-membered rings. Three types of conjunctive reagents appear to be promising candidates: (1) selected 4-alky-lidene-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazoles, (2) 2-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]allyl esters and halides, and (3) alkylidenecyclopropanes. Thermal reactions, especially intramolecular ones, effect the cycloaddition of the pyrazoles to olefins–especially electron-poor olefins. The latter two precursors require a catalyst, notably a palladium complex, to unlock the synthetic potential. With the 2-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]allyl esters, a general chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselective cycloaddition with typical Diels-Alder dienophiles forms methylenecyclopentanes in both inter- and intramolecular fashion. A tin analogue allows extension of this cycloaddition to aldehydes, and, in a related sequence, to ketones and imines to form 3-methylenete-trahydrofurans and 3-methylenepyrrolidines with excellent diastereoselectivity. The 2-[(tri-methylsilyl)methyl]allyl esters also serve to effect net methylenecyclopentane annulation to cyclic enols. Such adducts can further undergo three-carbon intercalation or combined ring contraction-spiroannulation simply by the use of either a nucleophilic or electrophilic trigger. Alkylidenecyclopropanes undergo cycloadditions to both electron-rich and electron-poor olefins when stimulated by metal catalysts, especially palladium. A complementary regiochemistry to the approach based upon silicon conjunctive reagents is observed. The availability of these cycloadditions provides new strategies for the synthesis of natural products.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified mechanistic model for the reaction of manganese(III) acetate with carboxylic acids and alkenes is proposed. But the model does not consider the role of α-H acidity of the carboxyl acid component, electron deficient radical additions, metal complexed organic radicals, and the importance of an oxo-centered manganized triangle in the lactone annulation reaction.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the Kraus method was used to transform 3-cyano-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone into (1R*, 3R*, 4R*)-pyrano-γ-lactones.
Abstract: Reaction of lithiated 3-cyano-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone (7) with 5-substituted 2-furfuralacetones 6a-c and subsequent O-methylation of the resulting naphthohydroquinones afforded 2-acetyl-3-furylnaphthalenes 8a-c in good yields. Annulation of the dialkoxyphthalides 12a, b with 6a could also be carried out to give 13a, b. The 5-tert-butoxy-2-furyl compounds were stereoselectively transformed into (1R*, 3R*, 4R*)-pyrano-γ-lactones 16a, 18a, b in high yields by a modification of the Kraus method (LiAlH4 reduction followed by treatment of the product carbinol with p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) in acetonitrile and then with 1, 8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in toluene at low temperatures). The 5-methoxy-2-furyl compound 9b also afforded 16a stereoselectively in one step (treatment with TsOH), but this compound was less effective as a substrate of the pyrano-γ-lactone annulation since a side reaction leading to the spiro-γ-lactone 17 became significant. The 5-phenylthio compound 9c failed to give 16a under a variety of conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, three photochemical methods aiming primarily at syntheses of cyclopentanoid natural products are described: (A) the development and synthetic applications of four generations of tricyclooctanone-type key intermediates all products of oxadi-ir-methane rearrangements are reviewed.
Abstract: Three photochemical methods aiming primarily at syntheses of cyclopentanoid natural products are described: (A) The development and synthetic applications of four generations of tricyclooctanone-type key intermediates all products of oxadi-ir-methane rearrangements are reviewed. Most recent achievements are the total syntheses of (-)-5-oxosilphiperfol-6-ene and of (-)-coriolin. (B) The [2+2] photocycloaddition of 2-trimethylsiloxybutadiene to a number of standard enones proved to be quite a general reaction with appreciable yields. This finding is surprising since dienes in general are known to quench enone triplets efficiently and hence suppress chemical reactions. Both the high substrate concentrations, which can be employed in the present procedure, and the remarkable regioand stereocontrol of the addition processes qualify this annulation as a valuable synthetic method. One photoproduct is the point of departure for an expedient assembly of the basic pentalenolactone skeleton. (C) Spirocyclic chiral 1,3-dioxenones, prepared in a one-step procedure, served for highly selective asymmetric [2+2] d. Mayo-type photocycloadditions with various olef ins. The value of this novel method is documented by an exploratory preparative example, a short synthesis of (+)-grandisol.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the intramolecular cyclopentene annulation methodology was used to synthesize linear tricyclopentanoids of the hirsutane class or nonlinear members of the isocomene class.
Abstract: The intramolecular cyclopentene annulation methodology which combines the cyclopropanation of dienic diazoketones and the vinylcyclopropane rearrangement is utilized to synthesize linear tricyclopentanoids of the hirsutane class or nonlinear members of the isocomene class. The requisite diene precursors, endocyclic or exocyclic, respectively, are obtained from acylcyclopentenes via orthoester Claisen rearrangement of either allyl or propargyl alcohols. The scope and the generality of the method are indicated and experimental details are presented pertaining to the synthesis of precursory dienes for hirsutane and isocomene sesquiterpenes. Full details are disclosed concerning the total synthesis of epiisocomene and the synthesis of linearly fused precursors to coriolin sesquiterpenes.
