Reaction of prop-2-enylidenetriphenylphosphorane derivatives with
several tropones has been studied in an attempt to provide a short new
route to the azulene ring system.
(2-Ethoxyprop-2-enylidene)triphenylphosphorane 4 reacts with 2-chloro-,
2-methoxy- and 2,3,5,7-tetrachlorotropones 7a–c to give azulene
derivatives 8 and 9 in moderate yields. On the other hand, reaction of
[2-ethoxy-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)prop-2-enylidene]triphenylphosphorane 6 with
tropones 7a,c results in the formation of azulene esters 10 and 11 in
low yields, whilst that with tropone 7b gives no azulene and substrate
7b is recovered. In order to gain insight into the mechanistic pathways,
reaction of phosphoranes 4 and 6 with deuteriated tropones 14a,b which
are the corresponding trideuteriated derivatives of compounds 7a,b, have
also been studied. Furthermore, compound 4 reacts also with
5-(dimethylaminomethylene)cyclopenta-1,3-dienecarbaldehyde 33 to give
6-ethoxyazulene 37 in moderate yield.
