Cyclopentanone chloride

Cydopentane reagents used in synthesis are usually derived from cyclopentanone (R.A. Ellison, 1973). Classically they are made by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol or ester condensations (see also p. 55). An important example is 2-methylcydopentane-l,3-dione. It is synthesized by intramolecular acylation of diethyl propionylsucdnate dianion followed by saponification and decarboxylation. This cyclization only worked with potassium t-butoxide in boiling xylene (R. Bucourt, 1965). Faster routes to this diketone start with succinic acid or its anhydride. A Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-acetoxy-2-butene in nitrobenzene or with pro-pionyl chloride in nitromethane leads to acylated adducts, which are deacylated in aqueous acids (V.J. Grenda, 1967 L.E. Schick, 1969). A new promising route to substituted cyclopent-2-enones makes use of intermediate 5-nitro-l,3-diones (D. Seebach, 1977). 

Keto acids are obtained by acylation of cyclopentanone enamines (see p. I3f.) with acid chlorides and subsequent base-catalyzed mro-aldol cleavage (S. Hdnig, 1960). 

A. l-THmethyleilyloxyayalopentsne. A 1-L, two-necked, round-bottomed flask is equipped with a mechanical stirrer and a reflux condenser having a drying tube (calcium chloride). The flask is charged with 200 mL of dimethylformamide (Note 1), 45 g (0.54 mol) of cyclopentanone (Note 2), 65.5 g (0.6 mol) of chlorotrimethylsilane (Note 2) and 185 mL (1.33 mol) of triethylamine (Note 1), and the mixture is refluxed for 17 hr (Note 3). The mixture is cooled, diluted with 350 mL of pentane, and washed four times with 200-mL portions of cold saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. The... 

Titanium(IV) is a powerful but selective Lewis acid which can promote the coupling of allylsilanes with carbonyl compounds and derivatives In the presence of titanium tetrachlonde, benzalacetone reacts with allyltnmethylsilane by 1,4-addition to give 4-PHENYL-6-HEPTEN-2-ONE. Similarly, the enol silyl ether of cyclopentanone is coupled with f-pentyl chloride using titanium tetrachlonde to give 2-(tert-PENTYL)CYCLOPENTANONE, an example of a-tert-alkylation of ketones. 

In their original communication on the alkylation and acylation of enamines, Stork et al. (3) had reported that the pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone underwent monoacylation with acid chlorides. For example, the acylation with benzoyl chloride led to monobenzoylcyclohexanone. However, Hunig and Lendle (33) found that treatment of the morpholine enamine of cyclopentanone with 2 moles of propionyl chloride followed by acid hydrolysis gave the enol ester (56), which was proposed to have arisen from the intermediate (55).

Reaction of 4a with TiCl4 was carried out in the presence of siloxyalkene 3 as nucleophile and the results are summarized in Table III. In the reaction with ketene silyl acetals 3a and 3e at -78 °C, y-ketoesters 15a and 15e were obtained instead of chloride product 8 which is a major product in the absence of 3. Formation of product 15 is likely to result from trapping of alkylideneallyl cation 5 with 3 at the sp2 carbon. In contrast, the reactions with silyl enol ethers 3f and 3g gave no acyclic product 15, but gave cyclopentanone derivatives 16-18. The product distribution depends on the mode of addition of TiCl4 (entries 4-7). 

The preparation of 2-benzylcyclopentanone from 2-benzyl-2-carbomethoxycyclopentanone has not been previously reported. Starting with the ethyl ester, however, the compound has been prepared by heating the ester for many hours with concentrated hydrochloric acid. - The direct alkylation of cyclopentanone with benzyl chloride in the presence of sodium amide in liquid ammonia goes only in a poor yield. ... 

A series of analogues of 2-iminopiperidine have been prepared and have been shown to be potent inhibitors of the human nitric oxide synthase isoforms °. The cyclopentanone oxime 346 was esterified with sodium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride and the subsequent Beckmann rearrangement afforded the 6-propylvalerolactam 348 as the major product and 3-propylvalerolactam 347 as a minor product (equation 133). The major product was converted into the intended 2-iminopiperidine 349. 

Cyclopentainones are widely found in natural products and are also useful intermediates in organic synthesis. Thus a facile construction of cyclopentanones from easily available acyclic precursors is particularly desirable. This method of preparation is based on an intramolecular acylation of 5-trimethyl silylalkanoyl chlorides previously reported by us. The...

We have put forward (J. Am. Client. Soc. 2004, /26, 13900) an alternative approach to the enantioselective construction of cyclic quaternary centers. Addition of phenylacetylene to cyclopentanone followed by dehydration and Shi epoxidation gave the epoxide 10. Opening of the epoxide with allylmagnesium chloride proceeded with inversion, to give II. The alcohol 11 can also be carried on to bicyclic products, exemplified by the sulfone 12.

A variation of this route was applied to the preparation of a-methylenecyclo-pentane 179, an intermediate that was employed for the synthesis of prostaglandin PGF2o, (180) (Scheme 6.82). The acetonide-protected oxime-diol 175 [derived from propanal (174)] was treated with sodium hypochlorite without the addition of base. This led to the tricyclic adduct 176 with high stereoselectivity. One of the side chains was subsequently elaborated and the fully protected cyclopentano-isoxazo-line (177), when exposed to Raney Ni/boron trichloride, gave the 2-hydroxymethyl-cyclopentanone (178). This compound was dehydrated using mesyl chloride/ pyridine to furnish enone (179) (324). In another related synthesis of PGF2q, the p-side-chain (3-hydroxyoctenyl) was introduced prior to the cycloaddition (325).
