Intermolecular Reactions of .beta.-Lactam-4-ylidenes with Alkenes, Alcohols, and Acetic Acid. Spiro-Fused .beta.-Lactam Cyclopropanes, 4-Alkoxy .beta.-Lactams, and a 4-Acetoxy .beta.-Lactam
摘要:
Thermolysis of spiro-fused beta-lactam oxadiazolines in the presence of alkenes gave spiro-fused beta-lactam cyclopropanes. The latter arise through a sequence of reactions beginning with 1,3-dipolar cycloreversion of an oxadiazoline to form N-2 and a short-lived carbonyl ylide. The latter fragments to acetone and a beta-lactam-4-ylidene, which adds to the alkene. Stereospecific additions to dimethyl fumarate and to dimethyl maleate are consistent with a concerted mechanism of cyclopropanation. The ylidenes also form cyclopropanes with alkenes that are not Michael accepters, including styrene and 4-bromo-1-butene. Thermolysis of beta-lactam oxadiazolines in the presence of hydroxylic compounds led to capture of beta-lactam-4-ylidenes by OH insertion, essentially in quantitative yields, as expected for reaction of singlet beta-lactam-4-ylidenes.
