Synthesis and decomposition of two cyclic (four-ring) azo compounds (.DELTA.1-1,2-diazetines)
摘要:
The DELTA1-1,2-diazetines 1 and 2 have been synthesized in three steps from N-methyltriazolinedione (MeTAD) and the olefins (adamantylideneadamantane, Ad=Ad, for 1; 7-norbornylidene-7-norbornane for 2). Diazetidine 3 (from Ad=Ad + MeTAD) undergoes ring expansion to a pyrazolidine derivative, 5 (subsequently converted to a novel pyrazoline, cyclic (five-ring) azo compound 6). The structurally-related N-methylaminocarbonyl diazetidine 4 undergoes acid-catalyzed ring contraction to N-aminoaziridine derivative 7a. Compound 7a and the corresponding N-aminoaziridine derivative 7b undergo oxidative ring expansion to afford diazetine 1, accompanied by olefin (Ad=Ad). Efforts to extend this novel synthesis of diazetines to other N-aminoaziridines (8,9a, 9b, 10) were unsuccessful, affording only the deazetation product, olefin. Thermal decomposition of diazetine 1 at 137-degrees-C in dodecane (tl/2 = 1.5 h) proceeds by two paths: ring-opening to adamantanone azine and deazetation to the olefin Ad=Ad; azine/olefin = 1.9/1. For diazetine 2, k(overall) is 60-fold slower than for 1 and azine/olefin = 1/14. Diazetine 1 is rapidly converted to olefin (Ad=Ad) at 25-degrees-C by 10 mol% of Ar3N.+ [(p-BrC6H4)3N.+ SbF6-], thought to occur by an electron transfer chain process; diazetine 2 is inert to these conditions. Relative rates of nitrogen loss for 1, 2, and tetramethyldiazetine (15c) at 137-degrees-C are 1:0.05:3. Some aspects of mechanism of thermal and catalyzed decomposition of diazetines are discussed.
