Phenol Formation from the Reactions of Amino-Stabilized Alkenyl Fischer Carbene Complexes
摘要:
The first examples of phenol formation from the reactions of amino-stabilized alpha,beta P-unsaturated Fischer carbene complexes with alkynes are reported. A series of four dimethylamino complexes [(CO)(5)Cr=C(NMe(2))R; 19, R = cyclohexenyl; 26, R = trans-propenyl; 27, R = trans-styryl; 30, R = isopropenyl] were examined with both internal and external alkynes. Their reactions with internal alkynes typically produced low yields of complex mixtures of products and were not synthetically useful. In contrast, their reactions with terminal alkynes were remarkably different giving good yields of 4-(dimethylamino)phenols, and in the presence of a trapping agent, good yields of the arene chromium tricarbonyl complexes of the protected 4-(dimethylamino)phenols. The selectivity for phenol formation was found to be greatest for reactions performed in noncoordinating solvents and at higher concentrations. In contrast, and as expected, the reaction of the aryl complex 45 [(CO)(5)Cr=C(NMe(2))Ph] with 1-pentyne did not produce any six-membered ring product in DMF, THF, or benzene. An interesting solvent dependence was observed for this reaction where lactam 49 was the exclusive product in benzene and the indanone 46 was the exclusive product in DMF.

hydroquinone-chromium(tricarbonyl) complexes directly from alkenylFischercarbenecomplexes and alkynes are described. The benzannulation reaction of methoxy carbenecomplexes with alkynes produces hydroquinone chromium tricarbonyl complexes as their mono-methyl ethers which may be protected at the free aryl hydroxyl with either sequential or concurrent reaction with a variety of electrophiles, including silyl chlorides

cytotoxicities and DNA cross-linking abilities of several alkyl-substituted diaziridinylquinones have been investigated. The cytotoxicities were determined in DT-diaphorase-rich (H460 and HT29) and -deficient (H596 and BE) cell lines. It was shown that the cytotoxicities in these cell lines correlated with the relative rates of reduction by the purified human enzyme and with the cross-linking efficiencies.
