Cycloalkane rings

During the nineteenth century it was widely believed—incorrectly as we 11 soon see— that cycloalkane rings are planar A leading advocate of this view was the German chemist Adolf von Baeyer He noted that compounds containing rings other than those... 

As an extension of this reaction the intramolecular cycloaddition of 5-propynyloxycycloalkanepyrimidines was studied. It was found that bi-and tricyclic annelated pyridine derivatives are formed by expulsion of either X-CH2-CN and/or HCN, respectively. A marked selectivity in the product formation was observed, depending on the size of the cycloalkane ring. With cyclohexapyrimidines a mixture of A and B is formed, while with the cycloheptapyrimidine derivative exclusive formation of the tricyclic compound B takes place (92T1643, 92T1657) (Scheme 39a). 

The last point we ll consider about cycloalkane stereochemistry is to see what happens when two or more cycloalkane rings are fused together along a common bond to construct a polycyclic molecule—for example, decalin. 

As for the stereochemistry, for the case of complete cyclization, besides the usual tacticity (possibly, isotactic or syndiotactic, referred to relative configurations of equivalent stereogenic carbons of subsequent monomeric units), the cis or trans configuration of the 1,3-cycloalkane rings which are present in the polymer main chain also has to be considered.70,74... 

This article will deal with metal-catalyzed cyclization reactions, with reference to oxide and dual-function catalysts. Product cycles may contain five or six carbon atoms. The respective prefixes C5 and will point to the resulting structure (5). The term dehydrocyclization will be applied to reactions that end up with aromatic products the formation of saturated (cycloalkane) rings will henceforth be called cyclization. ...

Cycloalkane ring-fused 2,4-diaminopyrido[2,3-, pyrimidine 580 was obtained by direct treatment of sulfone 579 with guanidine carbonate in boiling diphenyl ether. Sulfoxide 579 was prepared by perbenzoic acid oxidation of the methylthio derivative <1994T199>. 

The same type of reaction is observed for 1,6-dienes in which one C — C double bond is exocyclic to a cycloalkane ring. 

When a hydrocarbon group is double-bonded to a single carbon of a cycloalkane ring, the suffix -ylidene, as in alkylidene, is used ... 

Cycloalkanes made up of a cycloalkane moiety linked to an alkane moiety are generally named in such a way that the cycloalkane is the parent system and the alkane moiety is considered to be an alkyl substituent. Therefore, the structure in following figure (a) is methylcyclohexane and not cyclohexylmethane. In it there is no need to number the cycloalkane ring when only one substituent is present.

Cis-trans isomerism in cycloalkanes. Like alkenes, cycloalkane rings are restricted from free rotation. Two substituents on a cycloalkane must be either on the same side (cis) or on opposite sides (trans) of the ring. 

Perkin ring synthesis using DiTOX. Anions derived from DiTOX undergo efficient Perkin ring synthesis on treatment with dihaloalkanes to provide cycloalkane rings of up to seven members (Table 12).59... 

The first step in the reaction of aminocycloalkenones with quinones is a normal Michael addition to yield hydroquinone adducts, as is known from the Nenitzescu reaction with / -ketoenamines. However, the consecutive cyclization is quite different, and the structure of the heterocycles formed depends on the substitution at the nitrogen and the size of the cycloalkane ring.
