methylcubane oxidations which notionally proceed via cubylmethyl radical intermediates yet are remarkably free of rearrangement. The bacterialcytochromeP450 CYP101B1 from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444 is found to hydroxylate the methyl group of a range of methylcubane substrates containing a regio-directing carbonyl functionality at C-4. Unlike other reported P450-catalyzed methylcubane oxidations
The base induced homoallylic rearrangement in the highlystrained homocubane and cubane cage systems has been studied. Under aprotic conditions using LiN(iPr)2 as base, homocubane methylcyanide 3 and sulfone 5 are converted quantitatively into tricyclo [4.2.1.02,5]nonene derivatives by a regiospecific cleavage of C4-C7 and C5-C6 bond. This process is formulated as a double γ-homoallylic rearrangement

Reactions of methylcubane (1) with the tert-butoxyl radical (t-BuO.), with cytochrome P-450 enzymes, and with a methane monooxygenase (MMO) system have been studied. For the purpose of product characterization, authentic samples of 2-methylcubyl and 4-methylcubyl derivatives were prepared. 2-Methylcubanecarboxylic acid (9b) is a new compound prepared from cubanecarboxylic acid. The key synthetic reactions were (1) metalation and subsequent iodination of the 2-position of (diisopropylcarbamoyl)cubane to effect the initial functionalization, (2) lithium-for-iodine exchange and methylation followed by reduction to give 2-methyl-1-[(diisopropylamino)methyl]-cubane, and (3) dimethyldioxirane oxidation of this amine to give 9b. The known 4-methylcubanecarboxylic acid (9d) was prepared here by a route related to that employed for 9b. Reactions of acids 9b and 9d with methyllithium gave the corresponding methyl ketones which were oxidized by m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to provide authentic samples of 2- and 4-methylcubanol acetates (3b and 3d). Reaction of 1 with t-BuO(.) in the presence of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylisoindole-N-oxyl radical (TMIO(.)) at 40-55 degrees C gave mainly cube-substituted products in confirmation of the report (Della, E. W.; Head, N. J.; Mallon, P.; Walton, J. C. J. Am. Chem. Sec. 1992, 114, 10730) that hydrogen atom abstraction by the electrophilic alkoxyl radical at low temperature occurs at the cubyl C-H positions. In a competition experiment at 42 degrees C, methylcubane was at least 3.5 times more reactive toward t-BuO(.) than cyclohexane, indicating that the cubyl positions in 1 are greater than or equal to 40 times more reactive than the methyl positions in 1 (per hydrogen) toward the alkoxyl radical. Oxidation of 1 by enzymes gave alcohol products that were converted to their acetate derivatives for identification and quantitation. Microsomal cytochrome P-450 enzymes from rat and the rat purified P-450 isozyme CYP2B1 hydroxylated 1 at all positions, whereas the reconstituted MMO system from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) hydroxylated 1 only at the methyl position. The differences in regioselectivity suggest that the transition states for hydrogen abstraction by the alkoxyl radical and for enzyme-catalyzed hydroxylation differ considerably. The results are consistent with a model for concerted enzyme catalyzed hydroxylation of 1 involving ''side-on'' approach to the C-H bond of substrate.
