Tetramerization of 3-Methyl-cyclopropene-3-carbonitrile: A Novel CN-Alder-ene Reaction
摘要:
At elevated temperatures 3-methyl-cyclopropene-3-carbonitrile I was found to tetramerize giving compound 2 (3-methyl-2,3-bis(2-t-methyl-2-c-eyanocyclopropyl)- 1-(2-t-methyl-2-c,3-c-dicyanocyclopropyl)-cyclopropene) in good yields. This is the first example of Alder-ene type oligomerization of a 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropene. On the basis of the product geometry and stereoselective character of the reaction, a mechanism of formation of 2 involving CN-Alder-ene reaction was proposed. DFT modeling of the mechanism has shown that the CN-Alder-ene reaction is possible as a stepwise process involving a biradical intermediate.

Monoterpene derivatives with a cyclopropane moiety in the molecule were prepared by reactions of 3-methyl-3-cyanocyclopropene with several monoterpenes and terpenoids (β-myrcene, neoalloocimene, alloocimene, β-pinene, carvone). They were formed using the Diels-Alder reaction, Alder-ene synthesis, conjugated Alder-ene addition, and Diels-Alder cyclization.
