Pyramidalized Double Bonds Containing Endoperoxide Linkages: Photooxygenation of Dimethyl cis-3,8-Dihydroheptalene-3,8-dicarboxylate
摘要:
Diels-Alder cyclo;addition utilizing singlet oxygen as the dienophile with dimethyl cis-3,8-dihydraheptalene-3,8-dicarboxylate (5) has been investigated, and monoaddition product 7 has been isolated. The addition of a second singlet oxygen to the cycloheptatriene unit in 7 gave syn-bis(norcaradiene) bis(endoperoxide) 4. H-1 NMR spectral studies and theoretical calculations indicate the increased pyramidalization in syn-4 compared with carbon analogue. The increased pyramidalization results from hyperconjugation between the central pi-bond and the four adjacent C-O bonds and by rehybridization at C3, C4, C5, and C6. Furthermore, the increased reactivity for syn-4, which is probably arising from further folding of the central double band, is also in agreement with theoretical calculations.
Synthesis of a New System Containing a Pyramidalized Double Bond: cis-Dicarbomethoxydihydroheptalene and Its Reaction with Benzyne
摘要:
The strained system syn-1 was the object of synthetic and structural studies because of its double bond pyramidalization. The starting material, cis-3, 8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene, was synthesized by two different approaches. Addition of ethyl diazoacetate then gave syn-addition product 2. Transesterification and NBS-bromination followed by Zn-AcOH elimination resulted in the formation of cis-dihydroheptalene 5, which was also synthesized by silica gel catalyzed isomerization of the trans-5 isomer. Addition of benzyne to cis-5 gave the target compound syn-1, whose structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction. These data show its pyramidalization angle to be 16.8 degrees.
Synthesis of new substituted dihydroheptalene derivatives: SiO<sub>2</sub>- and base-catalyzed rearrangement of dimethyl <i>trans</i>-3,8-dihydroheptalene-3,8-dicarbo×ylate
Dimethyl trans-3,8-dihydroheptalene-3,8-dicarboxylate (trans-3) isomerizes to dimethyl cis-3,8-dihydroheptalene-3,8-dicarboxylate (cis-3) upon treatment with SiO2. On the other hand, base-catalyzed reaction of trans-3 undergoes a direct 1,3-intramolecular proton shift to give 6 at room temperature in 5 min. Prolonged reaction time formed isomers 7 and 8 in a ratio of 4:1. AM1 calculations indicate that the isomer 8, which is formed as minor product, has a lower heat of formation (-99.34 kcal mol(1)) than that of the major isomer 7 (-92.05 kcal mol(1)). However, when a similar reaction was performed at 100 degreesC, the thermodynamically more stable isomer 8 was formed as the major product. Furthermore, cycloaddition reactions of these new dihydroheptalene derivatives 6 and 7 with different dienophiles have been studied. The mechanism has been discussed.
