The aza-Cope/Mannich reaction takes advantage of the facility with which a y,<5-unsaturated itninium ion, such as 6, participates in a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement to give an isomeric species which is suitably functionalized for an intramolecular and irreversible Mannich cyclization (see intermediate 7). The aza-Cope rearrangement substrate 6 is simply an unsaturated iminium ion which can be fashioned in a number of ways from a homoallylic... 

The prerequisite for an evaluation of the utility of the aza-Cope/ Mannich strategy for a synthesis of strychnine has now been satisfied. Using unsaturated azabicyclo[3.2. ljoctanols closely related to 14, the Overman group had previously demonstrated the impressive facility with which the aza-Cope/Mannich reaction can construct the complex molecular frameworks of ( )-dehydrotubifoline and... 

With certain substituents, such as methoxy150 or (substituted) phenyl53 functions, in the allylie position the reaction outcome completely changes, giving rise to predominant or exclusive formation of five-membered ring products via a preceding 2-aza-Cope rearrangement of the initially formed A -acyliminium ion. These substituents clearly stabilize the intermediary carbo-cation 3.

Abstract The photoinduced reactions of metal carbene complexes, particularly Group 6 Fischer carbenes, are comprehensively presented in this chapter with a complete listing of published examples. A majority of these processes involve CO insertion to produce species that have ketene-like reactivity. Cyclo addition reactions presented include reaction with imines to form /1-lactams, with alkenes to form cyclobutanones, with aldehydes to form /1-lactones, and with azoarenes to form diazetidinones. Photoinduced benzannulation processes are included. Reactions involving nucleophilic attack to form esters, amino acids, peptides, allenes, acylated arenes, and aza-Cope rearrangement products are detailed. A number of photoinduced reactions of carbenes do not involve CO insertion. These include reactions with sulfur ylides and sulfilimines, cyclopropanation, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, and acyl migrations.

The Af-allylindolines can be easily oxidized to the corresponding indoles at room temperature with o-chloranil. Additionally, Al-allylanilines were also found to undergo aromatic 3-aza-Cope rearrangements in the presence of Zeolite catalysts to give indoline derivatives as the major product <96TL5281>. 

Diese Reaktion, die nicht die Primarprodukte 109, sondem die kon-jugierten Systeme 110 liefert, sei an dieser Stelle erwahnt, obwohl sie nicht direkt als Claisen-Analogon, sondem vielmehr als eine Aza-Cope-Reaktion anzusehen ist. In diesem Zusammenhang rniissen auchValenz-isomerisierungen vom Typ 111 - -112 gesehen werden, die von mehreren Arbeitskreisen untersucht wurden 56-59)... 

As expected, some sequences also occur where a domino anionic/pericyclic process is followed by another bond-forming reaction. An example of this is an anionic/per-icyclic/anionic sequence such as the domino iminium ion formation/aza-Cope/ imino aldol (Mannich) process, which has often been used in organic synthesis, especially to construct the pyrrolidine framework. The group of Brummond [450] has recently used this approach to synthesize the core structure 2-885 of the immunosuppressant FR 901483 (2-886) [451] (Scheme 2.197). The process is most likely initiated by the acid-catalyzed formation of the iminium ion 2-882. There follows an aza-Cope rearrangement to produce 2-883, which cyclizes under formation of the aldehyde 2-884. As this compound is rather unstable, it was transformed into the stable acetal 2-885. The proposed intermediate 2-880 is quite unusual as it does not obey Bredf s rule. Recently, this approach was used successfully for a formal total synthesis of FR 901483 2-886 [452]. 

Scheme 2.198. Domino condensation/aza-Cope/Mannich reaction sequence leading to 2-889.

Cooke and coworkers reported on the synthesis of the amino acid N-benzyl-4-acetylproline (2-889) (Scheme 2.198) [453], as this might represent an interesting synthon for the preparation of bioactive compounds. These authors also used a domino iminium ion formation/aza-Cope/Mannich protocol. Thus, treatment of the secondary amine 2-885 with glyoxylic acid (2-888) primarily provided the corresponding iminium ion, which led to 2-889 in 64% yield as a mixture of diastereom-ers. 

The second largest group of pericyclic domino reactions starts with a sigmatropic rearrangement, which is most often a Claisen or an oxa- and aza-Cope rearrangement however, some processes also exist with a 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement as the second step. 

A domino Claisen/ene strategy was employed for the synthesis of (+)-9(l l)-dehy-droestrone [82] methyl ether, while an example of a domino aza-Cope rearrange-ment/Mannich reaction is the above-mentioned synthesis of (-)-preussin (4-14) [5]. 

Rearrangement of allylic acetals. 3-Acetylpyrrolidines can be obtained in good yield by an acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 5-methyl-5-vinyloxazolidines. The rearrangement involves an aza-Cope rearrangement followed by Mannich cycli-zation (equation I).1...
