Synthesis and acid- and base-promoted ring opening of polycarbocyclic oxiranes
摘要:
Acid promoted ring opening of 1 alpha,4 alpha,4a alpha,9a alpha-tetrahydro-2 beta-3 beta-epoxy-1,4-methanoanthracene-9,10-dione and the corresponding 2-methyl derivative (i.e., 3a and 3b, respectively) afforded 4a and 46 in 26% and 49% yield, respectively. Similar results were obtained when a solution of either 3a or 3b in aqueous acetone was reacted with Na2CO3 at ambient temperature for 2 days. However, reaction of 3b with aqueous methanolic NaOH (ambient temperature, 7 days) produced a small quantity of 46 along with a novel pentacyclic diketone, 6b (44% yield). Finally, acid promoted ring opening of 1 alpha,4 alpha-dihydro-4a alpha,9a alpha-epoxy-1,4-methanoanthracene-9,10-dione (12) resulted in extensive skeletal rearrangement of the substrate, thereby affording 14 in low yield.

MCPBA promoted diastereoselective epoxidations of functionalized norbornenes and norbornadienes have been performed, The experimental results thereby obtained have been evaluated by using semiempirical (AMI) quantum chemical modeling. The AMI computational results are consistent with experiment and correctly predict the major product of all MCPBA promoted epoxidations studied herein. Product characterization was assisted via the results of X-ray crystallographic structural analysis in the case of 10a and by comparison of calculated vs. experimental C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the cyclopropyl carbon atoms in 12a and 12b.
