Dirhodium(II) catalyzed dinitrogen extrusion from diazocarbonyl compounds by 2,6-dichloropyridine-N-oxide forms ketocarbonyl compounds in near-quantitative yields. Reactions occur at room temperature, and the pyridine product does not coordinate with dirhodium(II) to inhibit catalysis. Anhydrous tricarbonyl compounds, as well as dicarbonyl compounds, are conveniently prepared by this methodology, and

dimethyl diazomalonate with methyl 2-bromo- and 2-chloro-3-phenyl-2H-azirine-2-carboxylates gives rise to electron-poor 4-halo-substituted (3E)-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes. Their formation proceeds with complete stereoselectivity via ring-opening of the intermediate azirinium ylide. 2-Azabuta-1,3-dienes with electron-withdrawing substituents at the 1,1,4-positions are stablecompounds at room temperature, but

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) 3C enzyme is a cysteine proteinase essential for viral replication and infectivity and represents a target for the development of antiviral drugs. A number of serine and threonine beta-lactones were synthesized and tested against HAV 3C proteinase. The D-N-Cbz-serine beta-lactone 5a displays competitive reversible inhibition with a K-i value of 1.50 x 10(-6) M. Its enantiomer, L-N-Cbz-serine beta-lactone 5b is an irreversible inactivator with 0.70 min(-1), K, = 1.84 x 10(-4) M and k(inact)/K-I = 3800 M-1 min(-1). Mass spectrometry and HMQC NMR studies using C-13-labeled 5b show that inactivation of the enzyme occurs by nucleophilic attack of the cysteine thiol (Cys-172) at the beta-position of the oxetanone ring. Although the N-Cbz-serine beta-lactones 5a and 5b display potent inhibition, other related analogues with an N-Cbz side chain, such as the five-membered ring homoserine gamma-lactones 14a and 14b, the four-membered ring beta-lactam 33, 2-methylene oxetane 34, cyclobutanone 36, and 3-azetidinone 39, fail to give significant inhibition of HAV 3C proteinase, thus demonstrating the importance of the beta-lactone ring for binding.

A wide range of electron-poor 4-bromo-/4-chloro-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes were synthesized by the Rh-2(OAc)(4)-catalyzed reaction of diazo esters and diazo ketones with methyl 2-halo-2H-azirine-2-carboxylates. The E stereoselectivity with respect to the configuration of the C=C bond of the 2-azadiene moiety is in good agreement with the results of DFT (M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p)) calculations of the reaction pathway. The reaction proceeds via the formation of an azirinium ylide intermediate followed by ring opening with outward rotation of the halogen atom. Depending on the substitution pattern at C-1 electron-poor 4-halo-2-azabutadienes can undergo two types of cyclization at elevated temperatures: reversible 1,4-electrocyclization to give 2,3-dihydroazetes or 1,5-exo-trig cyclization to give 5-methylene-2,5-dihydrooxazoles, both in good yields. The dihydrooxazole derivatives can be also obtained at ambient temperature under DBU catalysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The results from the study of C-H insertion of unactivated alpha-diazo-alpha-aroyl esters catalysed by rhodium(II) carboxylates which give beta-lactones indicate that steric effects may play a major role in product formation. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
