Manganese(II) acetate-mediated double 2-hydroperoxyalkylations of barbituric acid and its derivatives
摘要:
The reactions of 1,1-disubstituted ethenes with barbituric acid and its derivatives in the presence of manganese(II) acetate and air yielded 5,5-bis(2-hydroperoxyalkyl)barbituric acids 3aa-ac and 3ba-ja in 62-99% yields. The structure of 3ab was determined by X-ray crystallography. The reaction of la and 2a was also effected by manganese(III) acetate (95%) and metallic manganese (92%), but in poor yield by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (50%). Treatment of 5,5-bis(2-hydroperoxy-2,2-diphenylethyl)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid(3aa) with perchloric acid gave 5,5-bis(benzoylmethyl)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (6) and 5-(2-benzoylmethyl)-1,3-dimethyl-5-(2,2-diphenylethenyl)-barbituric acid (7), in which phenyl migration took place. Reduction of 3aa with zinc powder in acetic acid or with triphenylphosphine in diethyl ether yielded 5,5-bis(2-hydroxy-2,2-diphenylethyl)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (10), which was dehydrated to give a spirotetrahydropyran 11.
