Stereochemistry. 83. Unusual rearrangements in cage compounds due to proximity effects
摘要:
The strained keto diol 5 underwent an unexpected rearrangement in the presence of H2O-TEA-CH3CN at 20-degrees-C to afford two isomeric products 6 and 7. The latter two compounds undergo further conversion to carboxy keto diol 8. The structures of 6-8 were elucidated by heterero COSY experiments and in the case of 6 by X-ray diffraction. The transformation of 5 to 6 and 7 is interpreted as involving an unusual retroaddition of a benzylic anion to a cyclobutanone 5 --> 10. This is facilitated by subsequent readdition of this anion to another proximally located ketone with formation of a cyclopropanol 11, which is immediately converted to 6 and 7.
Proximity effects in fused cyclobutanones. Facile formation of cage systems
摘要:
Chlorbicyclooctanone 3 on reaction with H2O-Et3N in acetonitrile at 20-degrees-C produced in high yield four complex dimeric compounds 4-7. The novel structures produced by C-C bond formation between tertiary centers were revealed by NMR and X-ray diffraction. Pathways leading from 4 or its diastereomer 14 to cage compounds 5-7 indicate the importance of proximity effects in these transformations.
