Ozonolysis cleavage

This disconnection suggests that 147 is prepared by enolate alkylation of cyclopentanone (Section 22.9). If a Dieckmann condensation is planned, the precursor to cyclopentanone is 148, which in turn is derived from diester 149. Another ester may be chosen at this point (methyl, etc.). Diester 149 is derived from the dicarboxylic acid, which is prepared by oxidative cleavage (ozonolysis) of cyclohexene. Bromocyclohexane 146 is now the clear precursor to cyclohexene by an E2 reaction (Chapter 12, Section 12.1).

The pyrazole ring is resistant to oxidation and reduction. Only ozonolysis, electrolytic oxidations, or strong base can cause ring fission. On photolysis, pyrazoles undergo an unusual rearrangement to yield imidazoles via cleavage of the N —N2 bond, followed by cyclization of the radical iatermediate to azirine (27). 

An asymmetric synthesis of estrone begins with an asymmetric Michael addition of lithium enolate (178) to the scalemic sulfoxide (179). Direct treatment of the cmde Michael adduct with y /i7-chloroperbenzoic acid to oxidize the sulfoxide to a sulfone, followed by reductive removal of the bromine affords (180, X = a and PH R = H) in over 90% yield. Similarly to the conversion of (175) to (176), base-catalyzed epimerization of (180) produces an 85% isolated yield of (181, X = /5H R = H). C8 and C14 of (181) have the same relative and absolute stereochemistry as that of the naturally occurring steroids. Methylation of (181) provides (182). A (CH2)2CuLi-induced reductive cleavage of sulfone (182) followed by stereoselective alkylation of the resultant enolate with an allyl bromide yields (183). Ozonolysis of (183) produces (184) (wherein the aldehydric oxygen is by isopropyUdene) in 68% yield. Compound (184) is the optically active form of Ziegler s intermediate (176), and is converted to (+)-estrone in 6.3% overall yield and >95% enantiomeric excess (200). 

Cleavage of an alkenoic acid can be carried out with permanganate, a permanganate—periodate mixture, periodate or with nitric acid, dichromate, ozone, or, if the unsaturation is first converted to a dihydroxy compound, lead tetraacetate (71,73). Oxidative ozonolysis is a process for the manufacture of azelaic acid [123-99-9] and pelargonic acid (74).

Alicyclic hydroxamic acids undergo several specific oxidative cleavage reactions which may be of diagnostic or preparative value. In the pyrrolidine series compounds of type 66 have been oxidized with sodium hypobromite or with periodates to give y-nitroso acids (113). Ozonolysis gives the corresponding y-nitro acids. The related cyclic aldonitrone.s are also oxidized by periodate to nitroso acids, presumably via the hydroxamic acids.This periodate fission was used in the complex degradation of J -nitrones derived from aconitine. 

This two-step sequence is a valuable alternative to the direct double bond cleavage by ozonolysis. 

Fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, have found a variety of applications. Brassilic acid (1,11-un-decanedicarboxylic acid [BA]), an important monomer used in many polymer applications, is prepared from erucic acid (Scheme 2), obtained from rapeseed and crambe abyssinica oils by ozonolysis and oxidative cleavage [127]. For example, an oligomer of BA with 1,3-butane diol-lauric acid system is an effective plasticizer for polyvinylchloride. Polyester-based polyurethane elastomers are prepared from BA by condensing with ethylene glycol-propylene glycol. Polyamides based on BA are known to impart moisture resistance. 

Alkenes with at least one vinjdic hydrogen undergo oxidative cleavage when treated with ozone, yielding aldehydes (Section 7.9). If the ozonolysis reaction is carried out on a cyclic alkene, a dicarbonyl compound results. 

Since double bonds may be considered as masked carbonyl, carboxyl or hydroxymethylene groups, depending on whether oxidative or reductive methods are applied after cleavage of the double bond, the addition products from (E)-2 and carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into a variety of chiral compounds. Thus, performing a second bromine/lithium exchange on compound 4, and subsequent protonation, afforded the olefin 5. Ozonolysis followed by reduction with lithium aluminum hydride gave (S)-l-phenyl-l,2-ethanediol in >98% ee. 

Another interesting biooxygenation reaction with alkenes, recently identified, represents an enzymatic equivalent to an ozonolysis. While only studied on nonchiral molecules, so far, this cleavage of an alkene into two aldehydes under scores the diversity of functional group interconversions possible by enzymatic processes [121,122]. 

The obvious Vfittig disconnection gives stabilised ylid (5fi) and keto-aldehyde (57). We have used many such long-chain dicarbonyl compounds in this Chapter and they are mostly produced from available alkenes by oxidative cleavage (e.g. ozonolysis). In this case, cyclic alkene (58) is the right starting material, and this can be made from alcohol (59) by elimination,... 

The oxidative cleavage of alkenes is a common reaction usually achieved by ozonolysis or the use of potassium permanganate. An example of NHC-coordina(ed Ru complex (31) capable of catalysing the oxidative cleavage of alkenes was reported by Peris and co-workers (Table 10.9) [44]. Despite a relatively limited substrate scope, this reaction reveals an intriguing reactivity of ruthenium and will surely see further elaboration. 

The ozonolysis of carotenoids was employed in order to obtain oxygenated cleavage products for biological tests, for example, for lycopene. In this case, among a series of products, one product formed by a double oxidative cleavage was purified and characterized as ( , ,/ )- 4 - methyl - 8 -oxo-2,4,6-nonatrienal, and it was shown to be active in the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cells (Zhang et al. 2003). 

When the enol (XCVII) of 5-keto-4-desoxy-mannosaccharo-3,6-lactone is subjected to ozonolysis, cleavage occurs at the double bond with the formation of oxalic acid and p-erythuronic acid (XCVIII), the latter being identified by the fact that upon oxidation with bromine it yields mcao-tartaric acid (XCIX). The formation of oxalic acid and erythu-ronic acid locates the double bond in XCVII between C4 and C5 and demonstrates that C4 carries a hydrogen atom while C5 has attached to... 

Ozonolysis of Cyclic Nitronates This very interesting approach to cleavage of the nitronate fragment has been recently demonstrated by Linker and coworkers using two optically pure five-membered cyclic nitronates as an example (263a) (Scheme 3.118). 

The ozonolysis of cyclobutene derivatives in the preparation of 1,4-diketones was also applied to the total synthesis of eyclopentanoid antibiotics 161 162k The oxidative cleavage of (470) by ozone and reductive work-up yielded the diketone (471) in 73 % yield. Diketone (471) underwent intramolecular aldol cyclization to give the key intermediate (472), which was used to synthesize ( )-xanthocidin161,162), (+)-epi-xanthocidin 162), ( )-p-isoxanthocidin161,162) as well as ( )-desdihydroxy-4,5-didehydroxanthocidin162).
