Miraziridine A (59) isolated from the marine sponge Theonella aff. mirabilis unifies within one molecule three structurally privileged elements (a) (2R,3R)-aziridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, (b) (35,45)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methyUieptanoic acid (statine), and (c) (E)-(5)-4-amino-7-guanidino-hept-2-enoic acid (vinylogous arginine).

The Michael reaction is of central importance here. This reaction is a vinylogous aldol addition, and most facts, which have been discussed in section 1.10, also apply here the reaction is catalyzed by acids and by bases, and it may be made regioselective by the choice of appropriate enol derivatives. Stereoselectivity is also observed in reactions with cyclic educts. An important difference to the aldol addition is, that the Michael addition is usually less prone to sterical hindrance. This is evidenced by the two examples given below, in which cyclic 1,3-diketones add to o, -unsaturated carbonyl compounds (K. Hiroi, 1975 H, Smith, 1964). 

Torgov introduced an important variation of the Michael addition allylic alcohols are used as vinylogous a -synthons and 1,3-dioxo compounds as d -reagents (S.N. Ananchenko, 1962, 1963 H. Smith, 1964 C. Rufer) 1967). Mild reaction conditions have been successful in the addition of ],3-dioxo compounds to vinyl ketones. Potassium fluoride can act as weakly basic, non-nudeophilic catalyst in such Michael additions under essentially non-acidic and non-basic conditions (Y. Kitabara, 1964). 

This vinylogous amide has been prepared in 70% yield to protect amino acid esters. It is cleaved by treatment with either aqueous bromine or nitrous acid (90% yield). ... 

The opening of epoxides with neighboring keto groups, accompanied by vinylogous jS-elimination, has already been mentioned (section V). This is an extension of the jS-elimination reactions which occur when a,p- or jS,y-epoxy ketones are opened with acid or base. a,jS-Epoxy ketones give a-substituted a,jS-unsaturated ketones [(162), for example], and j5,y-epoxy ketones give y-substituted a,jS-unsaturated ketones [(163), for example] ... 

Dicarboxylic acid dichlorides with less than seven carbon atoms do not react to give tetraketones similar to 117, but instead undergo an intramolecular acylation (72) to give on hydrolysis the vinylogous acid anhydride (118), e.g., from succinyl chloride and the enamine (113). 

The photochemical rearrangement of enamides to vinylogous amides was described (65],652). Rearrangement of cyclopropyl ketimines to enamines with acid was applied to syntheses of myosamine, apoferrosamine, mesembrine, and desmethoxymesembrine (653-656). 

The acylation of enamines derived from cyclic ketones, which can lead to the acyl ketone or ring expansion (692-694), was studied by NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis of the products (695,696). In a comparative study of the rates of diphenylketene addition to olefins, a pronounced activation was observed in enamines (697). Enamine N- and C-acylation products were obtained from reactions of Schiff s bases (698), vinylogous urethanes (699), cyanamides (699), amides (670,700), and 2-benzylidene-3-methylbenzothiazoline (672) with acid chlorides, anhydrides, and dithio-esters (699). 

The intermediacy of ketenes in some enamine acylation reactions using acid chlorides was described above (386,387). Direct addition of ketene to enamines was studied simultaneously by several groups (414-420). The initially formed aminocyclobutanone products could be isolated in some instances, depending on the substitution of the initial enamine. Opening to give either the acylated enamine or the alternative vinylogous amide was found to occur spontaneously or on heating, particularly in adducts derived from enamines with an olefinic proton. 

Reactions of vinylogous amides with methanesulfonyl chloride also led to the formation of six-membered rings. Here the initial attack on oxygen produces a zwitterionic intermediate which can collapse to an enol sulfonic acid lactone (383,469). 

Reactions of benzoylperoxide with morpholinocyclohexene and morpho-linocyclopentene furnished the corresponding a-benzoyloxyketones in modest yields (480,481). This oxidation has also been applied to some vinylogous amides (482), and the expected faster rate of reaction of the enamine system as compared with enamides has been noted in derivatives of 20-ketosteroids, in reactions with perbenzoic acid (59,483). 

The addition of isocyanides and azide to aldehyde-derived enamines has led to tetrazoles (533,536). On the other hand the vinylogous amide of acetoacetic ester and related compounds reacted with aldehydes, isocyanides and acids to give a-acylaminoamides (534). Iminopyrrolidones and imino-thiopyrrolidones were obtained from the addition of cyclohexylisocyanide and isocyanates or isothiocyanates to enamines (535). An interesting method for the formation of organophosphorus compounds is found in the reactions of imonium salts with dialkylphosphites (536). 

Rearrangements of vinylogous urethanes to vinylogous carbonic acids and decarboxylation are other interesting enamine rearrangements which may be synthetically useful in the formation of cyclic enamines (623,624). 

An interesting synthesis of quinolizidines was achieved using a vinylogous variation of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction. Angelastro and coworkers reported that treatment of amide 26 with PPSE (polyphosphoric acid trimethylsilyl ester) followed by reductive... 

From the same point of view, 4-pyrones (8a) or 2-pyrones are anhydro bases of 4-hydroxypyrylium (9) or 2-hydroxypyrylium salts. Vinylogs (10) and phenylogs (12) (violones, after Dilthey and Burger ) of these systems are known, whose conjugate acids are monocyclic pyrylium salts (11 and 13). 

Compound 95, a 5-chloro-2,4-pentadien-l-one is a doubly vinylog-ous acid chloride. The addition of j8-chlorovinyl ketones to acetylenes was known to afford such compounds as 95 366,867 valence... 

In context with the formation of peraminosubstituted 1,4,5,8-tetraazaful-valenes of type 85 it must be mentioned that the bis-vinylogous compounds 94 can be easily prepared by reaction of acetamidine with bisimidoylchlo-rides derived from oxalic acid (96S1302). In the course of a complex reaction a cyclic ketene aminal was produced it immediately underwent an oxidative dimerization to yield deeply colored TAFs. Tlieir high chemical stability can be compared with that of indigoid dyes and manifests itself, for example, by the fact that they are soluble in hot concentrated sulfuric acid without decomposition. Tire same type of fulvalene is also available by cy-... 

Reaction of aniline derivatives with 4-chlorobutyroyl chloride followed by cyclization with sodium ethoxide and subsequent thionation promoted by sonication gave the corresponding A -arylpyrrolidine-2-thiones 126. Zinc-mediated condensation of diethyl bromomalonate with 126 using iodine as activator gave the vinylogous urethanes 127 whose cyclization with PPA gave the tricyclic compound 128 which upon hydrolysis afforded the acid 129 (96TL9403).
