Dimethyldioxirane structure

Fullerene epoxide, C )0, is formed by the UV irradiation of an oxygenated benzene solution of Cfio The O atom bridges a 6 6 bond of the closed fullerene structure. The same compound is also formed as one of the products of the reaction of Cgo with dimethyldioxirane, Mc2COO (see later). ...

The reaction of allenes with peracids and other oxygen transfer reagents such as dimethyldioxirane (DM DO) or hydrogen peroxide proceeds via allene oxide intermediates (Scheme 17.17). The allene oxide moiety is a versatile functionality. It encompasses the structural features of an epoxide, an olefin and an enol ether. These reactive intermediates may then isomerize to cyclopropanones, react with nucleophiles to give functionalized ketones or participate in a second epoxidation reaction to give spirodioxides, which can react further with a nucleophile to give hydroxy ketones. 

Polymer-supported permthenate has also been used in two convergent pathways for the synthesis of isoxazoUdines with each route employing different starting materials in order to create the maximum structural diversity [73]. In the first route secondary hydroxylamines, readily prepared from amines by in situ treatment with dimethyldioxirane, were oxidized directly to nitrones using polymer-supported permthenate (PSP). Alternatively, primary alcohols were used as the... 

Peroxynitrous acid, which has an estimated lifetime of 1-3 s at neutral pH, has been studied through ab initio calculations that suggest that peroxynitrous acid, per-oxyformic acid, and dimethyldioxirane have, despite diverse 0—0 bond energies, similar activation energies for oxygen-atom transfer." The transition-state structures for the epoxidation of ethene and propene with peroxynitrous acid are symmetrical with equal or almost equal bond distances between the spiro oxygen and the carbons of the double bond. 

The transition structures for the epoxidation of ethylene and propylene with peroxyformic acid and of ethylene with dioxirane and dimethyldioxirane calculated at the B3LYP, QCISD and CCSD levels are symmetrical with a spiro orientation of the electrophilic oxygen, whereas the MP2 calculations favor unsymmetrical transition structures. The geometries of the transition structures calculated using the B3LYP functional are close to those found at QCISD, CCSD, CCSD(T) levels as well as those found at the CASSCF(10,9) and CASSCF(10,10) levels for the transition structure of the epoxidation of ethylene. 

In summary, transition structures with dioxirane and dimethyldioxirane are unsymmet-rical at the MP2/6-31G level, but are symmetrical at the QCISD/6-31G and B3LYP/6-31G levels. The transition states for oxidation of ethylene by carbonyl oxides do not suffer from the same difficulties as those for dioxirane and peroxyforaiic acid. Even at the MP2/6-31G level, they are symmetrical (Figure 17). The barriers at the MP2 and MP4 levels are similar and solvent has relatively little effect. The calculated barriers agree well with experiment . In a similar fashion, the oxidation of ethylene by peroxyformic acid has been studied at the MP2/6-31G, MP4/6-31G, QCISD/6-31G and CCSD(T)/6-31G and B3LYP levels of theory. The MP2/6-31G level of theory calculations lead to an unsymmetrical transition structure for peracid epoxidation that, as noted above, is an artifact of the method. However, QCISD/6-31G and B3LYP/6-31G calculations both result in symmetrical transition structures with essentially equal C—O bonds.

In an interesting paper by Bernini et al., compounds with a flavonoid structure have been selectively oxyfunctionalized at the C-2 carbon atom by dimethyldioxirane (DMD). Products obtained in this way appeared to be useful starting materials to access anthocyani-dins. An example of this route is presented in Scheme 10.1. Here, 2,4-cw-flavane-4-acetate (A) was oxidized by DMD at room temperature, affording the corresponding C-2 hydroxy derivative (B) as the only product (63% yield). Further treatment of B with silica gel eliminated acetic acid to give C quantitatively. Then C was easily transformed into the flavylium salt (D) by simple addition of a 37% solution of HCl in water.

Oxidation of compound 232 with wtfftz-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) or dimethyldioxirane (DMD) afforded an aromatic l,3,4-oxadithiolane-3-oxide 233, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography (Equation 16). An aliphatic bis-spiranic l,2,4-oxadithiolane-2-oxide 234 derived from two adamantanone groups was also prepared <1997BCJ509>. 

The nucleophilic substitution, amination, aldol-type condensation, oxidation, and hydrolysis of the l//-pyrazino[2,3-c][l,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide system, structurally related to pteridine, were studied in detail <03HCA139>. Chlorinated pyrazines were directly oxidized to their corresponding iV-oxides using dimethyldioxirane in a completely regioselective fashion <03HEC221 >. 1,6-Dibenzoyl-5//, 10//-diimidazo[ 1,5-a 1, 5 -[Pg.374]

Treatment of 4/f-imidazoles 1549 with dimethyldioxirane resulted in formation of amino-nitrones 1550 regio-selectively (Ar = 4-MeC6H4, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-/-BUC6H4, naphthyl). Compounds 1550 are unusually stable due to contributions from anionic as well as cationic delocalized mesomeric structures (Scheme 400) <2000JPR245>.

Another set of tribenzotriquinacenes functionalized at the peripheral bridgehead positions is shown in Scheme 32. The triamines 162 and 163 were obtained in excellent yield by aminolysis of the methyltribenzotriquinacene 142 with ammonia and dimethylamine, respectively, in benzene solution [100]. Solvolysis of 142 in the neat alkyl (R = Me, Et, Pr, nBu) and benzyl mercaptane gave the three-fold thioethers 164 and 165 [106]. Oxidation of these compounds with raeta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) led to complete decomposition [98], whereas use of dimethyldioxirane gave high yields of the tris(sulfones) 166 and 167 as thermally stable compounds [106]. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectrometry as well as X-ray structural analysis revealed the dynamic behaviour of the sulfones,...
