Annelation

This sequence of Michael reaction and cyclisation is known as tile Robinson annelation since it makes a ring. 

If you don t see why the stereochemistry should be as 1 have drawn it, 1 suggest you make a model of 332A and discover for yourself There is a simple synthesis of 332A (X = OTs) from the Robinson annelation (frame 117) product 332B. 

The material in the succeeding chapters describes both the synthesis of the indole ring and means of substituent modification which are especially important in indole chemistry. The first seven chapters describe the preparation of indoles from benzenoid precursors. Chapter 8 describes preparation of indoles from pyrroles by annelation reactions. These syntheses can be categorized by using the concept of bond disconnection to specify the bond(s) formed in the synthesis. The categories are indicated by the number and identity of the bond(s) formed. This classification is given in Scheme 1.1. 

Substituted indoles can be obtained by the same general method starting with 3-acylpyrroles[2]. The precise methodology for construction of the substituent can be adapted as necessary for more complex structures. For example, enantioselective syntheses of both cis and traus-trikentin A and herbindoles A, B and C have been accomplished by using the annelation methodology[3]. 

The synthesis of cyclohexenone derivatives by Michael addition followed by intramolec ular aldol condensation is called the Robinson annulation, after Sir Robert Robinson who popularized its use By annulatwn we mean the building of a ring onto some start mg molecule (The alternative spelling annelation is also often used)... 

At least one hole near the perimeter of each plate connects the flow ch annels from one side of the plate to the other. The membrane is sealed around the hole to isolate the permeate from the concentrate. Permeate collects in a drain grid behind the membrane and exits from a withdrawal port on the frame perimeter. 

Examination of the pyrazino[2,3-rf]pyrimidine structure of pteridines reveals two principal pathways for the synthesis of this ring system, namely fusion of a pyrazine ring to a pyrimidine derivative, and annelation of a pyrimidine ring to a suitably substituted pyrazine derivative (equation 76). Since pyrimidines are more easily accessible the former pathway is of major importance. Less important methods include degradations of more complex substances and ring transformations of structurally related bicyclic nitrogen heterocycles. 

One of the more useful predicative applications of the relatively crude Hiickel method has been to illustrate quantitatively the effect of benzenoid annelation on the resonance energies of furan and thiophene. The results are summarized in Figure 1. As expected, thiophenes are more stable than the corresponding furans and 3,4-fusion results in less stable compounds than 2,3-fusion (77CR(C)(285)42l). 

Annelation of a benzene ring on to the [Z>] faee of the heteroeyelie ring does not have any pronouneed effeet upon the ehemieal shifts of the heteroeyelie protons (cf. Table 8). The rather unexpeeted heteroatom sequenee for shifts to progressively lower field for both H-2 and H-3 remains NHsolvent dependent and as in pyrrole it is also eoupled to the ring protons with Ji,2 = 2.4Hz and Ji,3 = 2.1 Hz. The assignment of the benzenoid protons H-5 and H-6 has eaused some eonfusion in the literature as they have almost... 

Annelation increases the complexity of the spectra just as it does in the carbocyclic series, and the spectra are not unlike those of the aromatic carbocycle obtained by formally replacing the heteroatom by two aromatic carbon atoms (—CH=CH—). Although quantitatively less marked, the same trend for the longest wavelength band to undergo a bathochromic shift in the heteroatom sequence O < NH < S < Se < Te is discernible in the spectra of the benzo[Z>] heterocycles (Table 17). As might perhaps have been anticipated, the effect of the fusion of a second benzenoid ring on to these heterocycles is to reduce further the differences in their spectroscopic properties (cf. Table 18). The absorption of the benzo[c]...

Annelation can introduce large conformational barriers, to the extent of making possible the resolution into enantiomers of a tribenzoxepine (71CB2923). Chapters 5.16, 5.17, 5.18 and 5.19 contain much more information on inversion barriers, bond lengths and bond angles. 

Fully saturated seven-membered heterocycles with one or two heteroatoms are normally in mobile twist-chair conformations (Section 5.17.1.1, Chapter 5.18) (b-77SH(2)123). Annelation and the introduction of exocyclic double bonds can have profound effects oxepan-2-one, for example, is in a near chair conformation (67JA5646).

The first scheme for the separation of the six chief alkaloids of opium, VIZ., morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaverine, narcotine and narceine, is probably that of Plugge. Much later Kljatschkina investigated for each of these six bases the properties by means of which isolation and estimation could probably be effected and, on the basis of the results, devised a plan for such analyses. More recently Anneler has published a detailed account of a scheme with the same objective. l Attention had already been given to complex, systematic analyses of this kind, in connection with examination of the mixtures of opium alkaloids, which have long been in use in medicine in these at first only morphine and other alkaloids were determined, but in the more recent schemes provision is made for the estimation of each alkaloid. ... 

Annelation of enamines or enolates with fluorinated methyl vinyl ketones gives the corresponding cyclohexenones [116, 117] (equation 101)... 

Cyclizations such as that which underlies the Knorr synthesis have also been successfully used in Robinson annelation sequences [72] (equation 12)... 

Similarly, fluorinated ketones are prepared and react with enamines [50], This reaction involves the intermediacy of an a,P-ethylenic ketone and leads to annelation-aromatization products [5tJ] (Table 13) (equation 37). 

Similarly, methyl vinyl ketone has been added to enamines derived from aldehydes (3,321,324-327) and ketones (3,328), providing a useful extension of the Robinson annelation reaetion. Condensations of enamines with other a, 3-unsaturated ketones can give a variety of diketones (329). 

Reactions of 3- and 4-piperidone-derived enamines with a dienester gave intermediates which could be dehydrogenated to tetrahydroquinolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines (678). The methyl vinyl ketone annelation of pyrrolines was extended to an erythrinan synthesis (679). Perhydrophenan-threnones were obtained from 1-acetylcyclohexene and pyrrolidinocyclo-hexene (680) or alternatively from Birch reduction and cyclization of a 2-pyridyl ethyl ketone intermediate, which was formed by alkylation of an enamine with a 2-vinylpyridine (681). 

Addition reactions — The fullerenes Ceo and C70 react as electron-poor olefins with fairly localized double bonds. Addition occurs preferentially at a double bond common to two annelated 6-membered rings (a 6 6 bond) and a second addition, when it occurs is generally in the opposite hemisphere. The first characteriz-able mono adduct was [C6oOs04(NC5H4Bu )2]. formed by reacting Cgo with an excess of OSO4 in 4-butylpyridine. The structure is shown in...
