Studies on the synthetic utility of [6+3] cycloaddition of pentafulvenes with 3-oxidopyrylium betaines: efficient synthesis of fused ring cyclooctanoids
摘要:
A study on the synthetic utility of [6+3] cycloaddition of pentafulvenes with 3-oxidopyrylium betaines is described. 5-8 Fused oxa-bridged cyclooctanoids, the products of the above methodology undergo facile Diels-Alder reaction, dipolar cycloaddition, Luche reduction and selective hydrogenation over Pd/C leading to functionalized molecules, which can be transformed to oxa-bridged fused cyclooctanoids. We have shown that the carbon framework of the molecules can be directly expanded from the product, thus enhancing the synthetic versatility of the products. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

[6+3] Cycloaddition of pentafulvenes with 3-oxidopyrylium betaine: a novel methodology toward the synthesis of 5–8 fused oxabridged cyclooctanoids
摘要:
Pentafulvenes undergo a facile [6+3] cycloaddition with 3-oxidopyrylium betaine, generated from the corresponding pyranulose acetate, leading to the formation of 5-8 fused oxabridged cyclooctanoids. The product is formed by a [6+3] cycloaddition, followed by a 1,5-hydrogen shift of the initially formed [6+3] adduct. The reaction was found to be general and a number of fulvenes with a wide range of substituents at the exocyclic double bond, that is, at the C6 position followed a similar reactivity pattern. The [6+3] adduct, a 5-8 fused oxabridged cyclooctanoid, is potentially amenable to a number of synthetic transformations due to the presence of an alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone and cyclopentadiene part. By selecting appropriately substituted fulvene and pyranulose acetates, it is possible to use this methodology for the synthesis of a wide range of 5-8 fused cyclooctanoids. The experimental results have been rationalized on the basis of theoretical calculations. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
