Ozonolyses of 1-Alkyl-Substituted 3-Methylindenes. Remarkable Effects of the Substituent Steric Bulk and the Stereochemistry of the Carbonyl Oxide Intermediates on the Efficiency of Ozonide Formation
摘要:
Ozonolyses of 3-methyl- and 3-isopropyl-1-methylindenes (1a,b) in ether gave mainly the corresponding oligomers 3a,b, while in the case of 3-phenyl- and 3-tert-butyl-1-methylindenes (1c,d), the corresponding exo-endo mixtures of ozonides 2c,d were obtained in good yield, the exo isomer being the major one. The ozonolyses of two stereoisomeric keto vinyl ethers, (E)-16 and (Z)-16, demonstrated that the stereochemistry of the derived carbonyl oxide 5c exerts a remarkable influence on the course of the reaction. Particularly interesting is the fact that syn-5c having a proper geometry for the concerted cycloaddition provided ozonide 2c in high yield even in the presence of trifluoroacetophenone. The high degree of similarity in the nature and distribution of the products from the ozonolyses of keto olefin (E)-16 and 1-methyl-3-phenylindene (1c) would be consistent with their respective reactions proceeding predominantly through a common carbonyl oxide intermediate syn-5c.
Various 1-phenylbut-3-enylidenes, (Ph)CCR2CH=CHR', were generated thermally and photolytically from tosylhydrazone (diazo) precursors. 1,2-Vinyl shifts, leading to 1,3-dienes, R'CH=CHC(Ph)=CR2, were found to predominate over gamma-C-H insertion (R = Me) and to compete with 1,2-H shifts (R = H). Intramolecular addition to the double bond was detected in the case of R = R' = Me. The resulting bicyclobutane is thermally stable and does not mediate the vinyl shift. Stereospecific migration of 1-propenyl groups (R' = Me), with retention of configuration, was observed on thermolysis and direct photolysis of appropriate substrates. These data exclude the intervention of a triplet diradical and point, to vinyl migration in the singlet manifold. Benzophenone-sensitized generation of the carbenes led to partial stereomutation but did not provide conclusive evidence for a triplet rearrangement (isomerization of the diene products could not be avoided under these conditions).
The reaction of aryl‐substituted allenes with alcohols under gold catalysis led to highlysubstituted indenes in good yields, with low catalyst loading and under mild conditions. During this domino transformation, two C−C bonds are formed with water as the only byproduct.

A planar-chiral DMAP derivative catalyzes an intriguing [3 + 2] annulation reaction of silylated indenes to produce diquinanes that bear three contiguous stereocenters (one quaternary and two tertiary).
