Ethyl cycloaddition

Allylic phosphates are used for carbonylation in the presence of amines under pressure. Carbonylation of diethyl neryl phosphate (389) affords ethyl homonerate (390), maintaining the geometric integrity of the double bond[244]. The carbonylation of allyl phosphate in the presence of the imine 392 affords the /3-lactam 393. The reaction may be explained by the formation of the ketene 391 from the acyl phosphate, and its stereoselective (2 + 2] cycloaddition to the imine 392 to give the /3-lactam 393(247],... 

The reaction of cyclohexene with the diazopyruvate 25 gives unexpectedly ethyl 3-cyclohexenyl malonate (26), involving Wolff rearrangement. No cyclo-propanation takes place[28]. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition takes place by the reaction of acrylonitrile with diazoacetate to afford the oxazole derivative 27[29]. Bis(trimethylstannyl)diazomethane (28) undergoes Pd(0)-catalyzed rearrangement to give the A -stannylcarbodiimide 29 under mild conditions[30]. 

From Diazo Compounds via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition. This method has been utilized widely in heterocychc chemistry. Pyrazohne (57) has been synthesized by reaction of ethyl diazoacetate (58) with a,P-unsaturated ester in the presence of pyridine (eq. 12) (42). 

Photolysis of 2,3-diphenyl-A -azirine (442) generates benzonitrile ylide (443). Irradiation in the presence of ethyl cyanoformate resulted in a mixture of the oxazoline (444) and the imidazole (445) by 1,3-dlpolar cycloaddition to the carbonyl and nitrile group, respectively (72HCA919).

The present preparation illustrates a general and convenient irethod for ring contraction of cyclic ketones. The first step is the usual procedure for the preparation of enamines. The second step involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diphenyl phosphorazidate to an enamine followed by ring contraction with evolution of nitrogen. Ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran can be used as a solvent in place of toluene. Pyrrolidine enamines from various cyclic ketones smoothly undergo the reaction under similar reaction conditions. Diphenyl (cycloalkyl-1-pyrrolidinylmethylene)phosphoramidates with 5,6,7, and 15 members in the ring have been prepared in yields of 68-76%. 

The reaction of methyl or ethyl acrylate with the enamine of an alicyclic ketone results in simple alkylation when the temperature is allowed to rise uncontrolled in the reaction mixture (7,34,35). If the reaction mixture is kept below 30°C, however, a mixture of the simple alkylated and cyclobutane (from 1,2 cycloaddition) products are obtained (34). Upon distillation of this mixture only starting material and simple alkylated product is obtained because of the instability of the cyclobutane adduct. 

In Corey and Chaykovsky s initial investigation, a cyclic ylide 79 was observed from the reaction of ethyl cinnamate with ylide 1 in addition to 32% of cyclopropane 53. In a similar fashion, an intermolecular cycloaddition between 2-acyl-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylnitrile 80 and 1 furnished 1-methylthiabenzene 1-oxide 81. Similar cases are found in transformations of ynone 82 to 1-arylthiabenzene 1-oxide 83 and N-cyanoimidate 84 to adduct ylide 85, which was subsequently transformed to 1-methyl-lX -4-thiazin-l-oxide 86. ... 

TosMIC reagents. For example, glyoxylic acid ethyl ester undergoes cycloaddition with (2-naphthyl) tosylmethyl isonitrile (17) to produce oxazole 18 in good yield. ... 

An example of this methodology was its use in the synthesis of vitamin Be, pyridoxine 12. Cycloaddition of oxazole 9, prepared from ethyl A-acetylalanate and P2O5, with maleic anhydride initially gave 10. Upon exposure to acidic ethanol, the oxabicyclooctane system fragments to afford pyridine 11. Reduction of the ester substituents with LiAlIU generated the desired product 12. 

Analogously to ynamines and o, /3-acetylenic ketones, 4-aminobut-3-yn-2-ones react with 1,3-dipoles (68HCA443 73HCA2427 92KGS867). The reaction of 4-dimethylaminobut-3-yn-2-one with diphenylketene follows a route of [2-1-21-cycloaddition (30°C, THF, 1 h) to give 2-acetyl-3-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-cyclobut-2-en-l-one (377) in 15% yield. With ethyl azidoformate (30°C, THF, 3 h), the tiiazole 378 is formed in 82% yield, whereas with phenyl isocyanate, the quinoline 379 is the product (by a [2- -4] scheme) in 70% yield (68HCA443). 

Intramolecular cycloadditions of 4/f-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 235 (R = H, Me Ph) and MeNHOH HCl gave tetracyclic isoxazolo derivatives 237. In the case of 235 (R = Me) a minor epimer 238 was also isolated (00JCR(S)414). Similar reaction of 235 (R = H, Me, Ph) and sarcosine ethyl ester HCl afforded an isomeric mixture of epimeric tetracyclic pyrrolo derivatives 239 and 240. In the reaction of 235 (R = H) and PhCHjNHCHjCOOEt only one product 241 was obtained. 

An ANRORC mechanism has also been proposed (besides an inverse cycloaddition reaction) in the conversion of 1-methylpyrimidinium iodide into 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylpyridine on treatment with ethyl -amino-crotonate (95RCB1272) (Scheme 23a). The reaction starts by addition of the -carbon of the crotonate at the electron-deficient 4-position of the... 

Cycloaddition of 4-nitrofurylmethylquinolinium bromide 88 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, nitrostyrene, ethyl 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propenoate and l-phenyl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propenone afforded the corresponding furylbenzoindolizine 89 (86CCC412) (Scheme 16). 

The stereochemistry of the product formed in the cycloaddition reaction depends on the approach of the substrate. There are two different approaches by which the reaction can proceed - endo and exo. For the reaction of e.g., a / , y-un-saturated a-keto ester with an ethyl vinyl ether there are four possible approaches... 

The mechanism of the reaction of ethyl glyoxylate 4 with 2,3-dimethyl-l,3-hutadiene 5 leading to the ene product 7 is shown in Scheme 4.5. This brief introduction to the reaction mechanism for cycloaddition reactions of carhonyl compounds activated hy Lewis acids indicates that many factors influence the course of the reaction. 

The cycloaddition reaction between ethyl glyoxylate 4a and Danishefsky s diene 2a has been investigated by Ghosh et al. applying catalyst systems derived from Cu(OTf)2 and ligands (S)-Ph-BOX (S)-21a, (S)-t-Bu-BOX (S)-21b, and the confer-... 

The chiral BOX-metal(II) complexes can also catalyze cycloaddition reactions of other ketonic substrates [45]. The reaction of ethyl ketomalonate 37 with 1,3-conju-gated dienes, e.g. 1,3-cyclohexadiene 5c can occur with chiral BOX-copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes, Ph-BOX-Cu(OTf)2 (l )-21a, and Ph-BOX-Zn(OTf)2 (l )-39, as the catalysts (Scheme 4.29). The reaction proceeds with good yield and ee using the latter complex as the catalyst. Compared to the copper(II)-derived catalyst, which affects a much faster reaction, the use of the zinc(II)-derived catalyst is more convenient because the reaction gives 94% yield and 94% ee of the cycloaddition product 38. The cycloaddition product 38 can be transformed into the optically active CO2-... 

The chiral BOX-copper(ll) complexes, (S)-21a and (l )-21b (X=OTf, SbFg), were found by Evans et al. to catalyze the enantioselective cycloaddition reactions of the a,/ -unsaturated acyl phosphonates 49 with ethyl vinyl ether 46a and the cyclic enol ethers 50 giving the cycloaddition products 51 and 52, respectively, in very high yields and ee as outlined in Scheme 4.33 [38b]. It is notable that the acyclic and cyclic enol ethers react highly stereoselectively and that the same enantiomer is formed using (S)-21a and (J )-21b as the catalyst. It is, furthermore, of practical importance that the cycloaddition reaction can proceed in the presence of only 0.2 mol% (J )-21a (X=SbF6) with minimal reduction in the yield of the cycloaddition product and no loss of enantioselectivity (93% ee). 

More recently, further developments have shown that the reaction outlined in Scheme 4.33 can also proceed for other alkenes, such as silyl-enol ethers of acetophenone [48 b], which gives the endo diastereomer in up to 99% ee. It was also shown that / -ethyl-/ -methyl-substituted acyl phosphonate also can undergo a dia-stereo- and enantioselective cycloaddition reaction with ethyl vinyl ether catalyzed by the chiral Ph-BOX-copper(ll) catalyst. The preparative use of the cycloaddition reaction was demonstrated by performing reactions on the gram scale and showing that no special measures are required for the reaction and that the dihydro-pyrans can be obtained in high yield and with very high diastereo- and enantioselective excess. 

Our development of the catalytic enantioselective inverse electron-demand cycloaddition reaction [49], which was followed by related papers by Evans et al. [38, 48], focused in the initial phase on the reaction of mainly / , y-unsaturated a-keto esters 53 with ethyl vinyl ether 46a and 2,3-dihydrofuran 50a (Scheme 4.34). 

In an analogous study by Meske, the impact of various oxazaborolidinone catalysts for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between acyclic nitrones and vinyl ethers was studied [31]. Both the diastereo- and the enantioselectivities obtained in this work were low. The highest enantioselectivity was obtained by the application of 100 mol% of the tert-butyl-substituted oxazaborolidinone catalyst 3d [27, 32] in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between nitrone la and ethyl vinyl ether 8a giving endo-9a and exo-9a in 42% and 27% isolated yield, respectively, with up to 20% ee for endo-9a as the best result (Scheme 6.10). 

The above described reaction has been extended to the application of the AlMe-BINOL catalyst to reactions of acyclic nitrones. A series chiral AlMe-3,3 -diaryl-BINOL complexes llb-f was investigated as catalysts for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between the cyclic nitrone 14a and ethyl vinyl ether 8a [34], Surprisingly, these catalysts were not sufficiently selective for the reactions of cyclic nitrones with ethyl vinyl ether. Use of the tetramethoxy-substituted derivative llg as the catalyst for the reaction significantly improved the results (Scheme 6.14). In the presence of 10 mol% llg the reaction proceeded in a mixture of CH2CI2 and petroleum ether to give the product 15a in 79% isolated yield. The diastereoselectiv-ity was the same as in the acyclic case giving an excellent ratio of exo-15a and endo-15a of >95 <5, and exo-15a was obtained with up to 82% ee. 

The normal electron-demand principle of activation of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones has also been tested for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of alkenes with diazoalkanes [71]. The reaction of ethyl diazoacetate 33 with 19b in the presence of a TiCl2-TADDOLate catalyst 23a afforded the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition product 34 in good yield and with 30-40% ee (Scheme 6.26). 

The Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction of nitrone 21 with ethyl vinyl ether 22 (Scheme 8.8) was also investigated for BH3 and AlMe3 coordinated to 21 [32]. The presence of BH3 decreases the activation energy for the formation of 23 by 3.1 and 4.5 kcal mol to 9.6 kcal mol for the exoselective reaction and 11.6 kcal-mol for the endo-selective reaction, respectively, while the activation energy for the formation of 24 increases by >1.4 kcal mol , compared to those for the uncatalyzed reaction. The transition-state structure for the BH3-exo-selective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrone 21 with ethyl vinyl ether 22 is shown in Fig. 8.19.
