Anhydrides intermolecular

The intramolecular variant leads to formation of more than one ring an interesting example is the formation of an intermediate in the synthesis of tetraasterane 16 by Musso and coworkers from 3,6-dihydrophthalic anhydride 15 by two subsequent [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, an intermolecular step followed by an intramolecular one ... 

A domino reaction,in this case consisting of an inter- and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, is a key step in the synthesis of the hydrocarbon pago-dane 30, reported by Prinzbach et al When the bis-diQnQ 27 is treated with maleic anhydride 4, an initial intermolecular reaction leads to the intermediate product 28, which cannot be isolated, but rather reacts intramolecularly to give the pagodane precursor 29 ... 

When 2-lithio-2-(trimethylsilyl)-l,3-dithiane,9 formed by deprotonation of 9 with an alkyllithium base, is combined with iodide 8, the desired carbon-carbon bond forming reaction takes place smoothly and gives intermediate 7 in 70-80% yield (Scheme 2). Treatment of 7 with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) results in the formation of a lactam enolate which is subsequently employed in an intermolecular aldol condensation with acetaldehyde (6). The union of intermediates 6 and 7 in this manner provides a 1 1 mixture of diastereomeric trans aldol adducts 16 and 17, epimeric at C-8, in 97 % total yield. Although stereochemical assignments could be made for both aldol isomers, the development of an alternative, more stereoselective route for the synthesis of the desired aldol adduct (16) was pursued. Thus, enolization of /Mactam 7 with LDA, as before, followed by acylation of the lactam enolate carbon atom with A-acetylimidazole, provides intermediate 18 in 82% yield. Alternatively, intermediate 18 could be prepared in 88% yield, through oxidation of the 1 1 mixture of diastereomeric aldol adducts 16 and 17 with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) in... 

The Pummerer reaction346 of conformationally rigid 4-aryl-substituted thiane oxides with acetic anhydride was either stereoselective or stereospecific, and the rearrangement is mainly intermolecular, while the rate-determining step appears to be the E2 1,2-elimination of acetic acid from the acetoxysulfonium intermediates formed in the initial acetylation of the sulfoxide. The thermodynamically controlled product is the axial acetoxy isomer, while the kinetically controlled product is the equatorial isomer that is preferentially formed due to the facile access of the acetate to the equatorial position347. The overall mechanism is illustrated in equation 129. 

The convergent approach comprises, among other reaction steps, a regio-specific intermolecular benzannulation reaction between the alkyne 88 and the chromium carbene complex 89 for AB ring construction (Scheme 43). It is noteworthy that the regioselectivity of this reaction is attributed to the bulky TBDMS ether in the alkyne a-substituent, that dictates the incorporation of the large substituent ortho to the phenol. Another curiosity is the fact that the reaction failed to provide 90 in the absence of acetic anhydride.

The cyclic product of condensation of two monosaccharide molecules with the elimination of two molecules of water (commonly called an intermolecular anhydride), is named by placing the word dianhydride after the names of the two parent monosaccharides. When the two parent monosaccharides are different, the one preferred according to the order of preference given in 2-Carb-2.1 is cited first. The position of each anhydride link is indicated by a pair of locants showing the positions of the two hydroxy groups involved the locants relating to one monosaccharide (in a mixed dianhydride, the second monosaccharide named) are primed. Both pairs of locants immediately precede the word dianhydride .

A classical procedure for fusing a six-membered ring to an aromatic ring uses succinic anhydride or a derivative. An intermolecular acylation is followed by reduction and an intramolecular acylation. The reduction step is necessary to provide a more reactive ring for the second acylation. 

The changes in the IR spectra of the copolymer exposed to UV irradiation suggest the formation of coordination-bound organotin fragments due to complex intermolecular reactions of anhydride and organotin units. 

More recently, this method has been extended to preparation of a variety of disulfonium dications from both acyclic and cyclic bis-sulfides, including very labile dications not observed when other methods were used.78 Thus, simple acyclic S-S dications were prepared by an intermolecular reaction of a monosulfide, a monosulfoxide and triflic anhydride.79 In the first step, reaction of triflic anhydride with dimethylsulfoxide generates a highly electrophilic80 complex 50 (dimethyl sulfide ditriflate).81 The latter reacts with dimethyl sulfide to give labile tetramethyldisulfonium dication 51 identified by NMR spectroscopy.79 In a similar manner, bis-(tetramethylene)disulfonium dication 52 is obtained from tetrahydrothiophene and its S-oxide (Scheme 17). 

The problem of the nucleophilicity of amides in glycosylation reactions is not limited to the sulfoxide method and has been shown to result in the formation of glycosyl imidates from intermolecular reaction with activated donors. It appears that this problem may be suppressed by the prior silylation of the amide [348,349]. Accordingly, it may be sufficient to operate the sulfoxide method with an excess of triflic anhydride when amides are present so as to convert all amides into O-triflyl imidates, which are then hydrolyzed on work-up. Despite these problems, several examples have been published of successful sulfoxide glycosylation reactions with acceptors carrying remote peptide bonds [344,345] and with donors coupled to resins via amide-based linkages [346,347], with no apparent problems reported. Sulfonamides and tertiary amides appear to be well tolerated by the sulfoxide method [340,350],... 

Dailey and colleagues109 employed a domino Diels-Alder reaction to synthesize the complex hexacycle 146. The intermolecular reaction of tetracycle 143 with maleic anhydride 144 afforded a single adduct (145) which immediately underwent an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give 146 (equation 42). This reaction is similar to a reaction performed previously by Prinzbach and colleagues110. Prinzbach observed that when alkynes were used as dienophiles, either domino or pincer Diels-Alder reactions occurred. In the latter type, the triple bond reacts with both diene units. 

The plastic deformation in several amine and anhydride cured epoxy resins has been studied. The experimental results have been reasonably interpreted by the Argon theory. The molecular parameters determined from the data based on the theory reflect the different molecular structures of the resins studied. However, these parameters are in similar enough range to also show the structural similarity in these DGEBA based systems. In general, the mechanisms of plastic deformation in epoxy resins below T are essentially identical to those in amorphouE thermoplastics. The yield stress level being related to the modulus that controls the intermolecular energy due to molecular deformation will, however, be affected by the crosslinks in the thermosets. 

Intermolecular cycloadditions involving pyridinones are well known (80H(14)1793). 4-Cyano-l-methylpyridin-2-one undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with a suitable diene (equation 195) (79H(12)l). The pyridinone (307) forms 1 1 and 1 3 adducts on reaction with DMAD under pressure (Scheme 225) (82H(19)499). 2-Azabarrelenone (308) may be prepared by a sequence (Scheme 225), the first step of which is the addition of maleic anhydride to l-benzylpyridin-2-one (80AG(E)463). 

P212121 Z = 8 Dx = 1.58, R = 0.028 for 1,481 intensities. Both the furanose and the anhydride ring have an envelope conformation, °E (96°) and 0.2E (54°), respectively, with the same oxygen atom, 0-2, displaced. The conformation of the pyranoid moiety is iH4. The hydrogen bonding involves both hydroxyl groups and is intermolecular. 

Further support for the intermolecular route is provided by the isolation of the substituted trans-cinnamic acid, the normal Perkin product. This arises through elimination of carboxylic acid from the fully acylated species (393) rather than cyclization. For example, a considerable amount of 2-acetoxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid is formed from 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde, perhaps as a result of steric interference with cyclization so allowing the intermolecular process to predominate (39JPR(152)23). It should be noted that trans- 2-hydroxycinnamic acids do not cyclize under normal Perkin conditions, though the cis isomer does so quite readily. Isomerization of the trans acid has been effected by treatment with a trace of iodine in acetic anhydride or by UV irradiation. 

The intermolecular N-acylation of amides generally requires treatment of the latter with strong acylating agents, such as ketenes, acyl halides, or anhydrides, in the presence of a base. Few examples of such N-acylations have been reported (Entries 1-3, Table 13.20 see also saftey-catch linkers, Section 3.1.2.3).
