Thermodynamic characterization of the squaramide–carboxylate interaction in squaramide receptors
摘要:
The thermodynamic characterization of squaramides is described. This fundamental information shows that the association in chloroform or DMSO is mainly exothermic. In contrast, in MeOH the equilibrium is endothermic and is entropically driven. The data shows the influence of a squaramide ring alone, modified or combined with tetraalkylammonium groups as the binding subunit for molecular recognition. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The synthesis of azabicycloalkenones bearing a vinylogous amide moiety was achieved by means of the rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative cycloaddition of cyclobutenediones with a pendant alkene. The starting cyclobutenediones were efficiently prepared from appropriate squaricacid monoesters and N-benzylalkenylamines under microwave heating conditions.
Squaric acid esters were treated with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate at room temperature to produce ethoxycarbenium ion species, and subsequent addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to this intermediate at 0°C afforded O-ethyl cyanohydrins in fair to good yields. In a similar manner, the ester reacted effectively with silyl enol ether and silyl ketene acetal to give the corresponding O-ethylated addition products. On the other hand the reaction with allylsilanes preferred the formation of 1:2 adducts.

TiCl4-catalyzed addition of a silyl enol ether to squaric acid dichloride and ester chloride were subjected to thermolysis (reflux in an aromatic solvent), and γ -acylmethylenetetronates were obtained stereoselectively with (Z)-geometry via an α,β unsaturated chloroketene intermediate. The mechanism, application of this novel rearrangement to synthesis of basidalin and related photolysis were described
Ring Expansion of Diazo-Functionalized 4-Hydroxycyclobutenone: Catalytic Ring Opening and Recyclization to 2(5<i>H</i>)-Furanone/Cyclopentenedione and Thermal 4π−8π Electrocyclic Ring Opening−Closure to Diazepinedione
cyclopentene-1,3-dione via an alpha-carbocation intermediate and a carbenoid (carbene) intermediate, respectively. Thermal rearrangement of some of these compounds led to the formation of diazepinediones without the extrusion of nitrogen through tandem 4pi electrocyclicringopening and 8pi electrocyclicring closure processes.
