Direct oxidation of ethylpyrazines to the corresponding acetylpyrazines may also be carried out in favourable circumstances using hot chromic acid (75JOC1178). Treatment of 2-ethyl-3-alkylpyrazines with chromic acid yields the corresponding 2-acetyl-3-alkyl-pyrazines in yields of 50-70%. In the absence of the 3-alkyl substituent the yields fall dramatically to less than 10%. Acetylpyrazines are more generally prepared by the inverse addition of a Grignard reagent to a cyanopyrazine. 

A great number of N-substituted 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-l,8-naphthyridin-2 (IH)-ones are obtained by reaction of N-substituted azaisatoic anhydrides with ethyl nitroacetate carbanion (Section II,A,4,a). A very specific method, more recently developed, is that of the inverse Diels-Alder method, involving the reactions of enamines with 5-nitropyrimidine (Section II,A,4,b). 

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... 

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). 

Functionalized nitroalkenes are important chenophiles in the Diels-Alder ri example, fE -methyl fi-nitroactylate is an impottant reagent in organic synthesis The nitre group can be readily eliminated the Diels-Alder reaction of fi-nitroactylate is equivalent to that of ethyl propiolate with an inverse regiochemistry fEq. 8.4. ...

An acetyl group in the 2-position favors the monocyclic structure presumably because of the resonance stabilization.12 The same observation was made with oxepin-2,7-dicarbaldehyde, oxepin-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, and oxepin-2,7-dicarbonitrile.23 Substituents in the 4- and 5-positions of the oxepin such as methyl or methoxycarbonyl groups shift the equilibrium towards the epoxide.12 24 Low temperature 1H NMR studies on 7-ethyloxepin-2-carbonitrile and ethyl 7-ethyloxepin-2-carboxylate established a nonplanar boat geometry with a ring-inversion harrier of 6.5 kcal mol-1.25... 

The inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition of ethyl l//-azepine-l-carboxylate (1) with dimethyl l,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylatc (36) yields the C4 —C5 adduct 37.266... 

There is excellent agreement between the calculated (92.4 kJ mol ) and experimentally determined (90.7 kJ mol ) inversion-barrier energies for 5-ethyl-10-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-5//-dibenz[Z ,/]azepine.49... 

Oxidation of the 2//-4a,7-dihydro derivative 15, the inverse electron-demand [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloadduct of ethyl 1 /7-azepine-l -carboxylate and dimethyl l,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicar-boxylate, with tetrachloro-l,4-bcnzoquinone furnishes the pyridazino[4.5-r/]azepine 16.112... 

In this cycle, (+)-l-phenyl-2-propanol is converted to its ethyl ether by two routes, path ab giving the (—) ether, and path cd giving the (+) ether. Therefore, at least one of the four steps must be an inversion. It is extremely unlikely that there is inversion in step a, c, or d, since in all these steps the C—O bond is unbroken, and in none of them could the oxygen of the bond have come from the reagent. There is therefore a high probability that a, c, and d proceeded with retention, leaving b as the inversion. A number of other such cycles were carried out, always with nonconflicting results. ... 

Diiodosilane l2SiH2 1872, prepared by treatment of phenylsilane PhSiHs with iodine, via PhSiH2l, in the presence of catalytic amounts of ethyl acetate at -20 °C, is much more electrophilic than Me3SiI 17 and therefore converts secondary alcohols such as 2-octanol 1871, at room temperature with Walden inversion, into iodides such as 1873 in 93% yield whereas the diol 1874 is nearly quantitatively converted into the monoiodobutane 1875 and only traces of the diiodobutane 1876 [88, 89] (Scheme 12.26). 

To conclusively disprove the involvement of the chromanol methide radical, the reaction of a-tocopherol with dibenzoyl peroxide was conducted in the presence of a large excess of ethyl vinyl ether used as a solvent component. If 5a-a-tocopheryl benzoate (11) was formed homolytically according to Fig. 6.6, the presence of ethyl vinyl ether should have no large influence on the product distribution. However, if (11) was formed heterolytically according to Fig. 6.9, the intermediate o-QM 3 would be readily trapped by ethyl vinyl ether in a hetero-Diels-Alder process with inverse electron demand,27 thus drastically reducing the amount of 11 formed. Exactly the latter outcome was observed experimentally. In fact, using a 10-fold excess of ethyl vinyl ether relative to a-tocopherol and azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as radical... 

Differences in chirality of substrate, and nature of solvent, have no effect on the competitive nature of the displacement of 0-alkyl and S-methyl groups in the reactions between (+)-pinacolyl alkoxide and 0-ethyl (and methyl) S-methyl methylphosphonothioates (Scheme 23). For the (R)-( + ) esters, e.g. (210), the displacements are highly stereoselective and occur with configurational inversion,but the enantiomeric esters do not display such stereoselectivity. (-)-Menthol might be considered a mirror image of (S)-pinacol, and similar reactions with the sodium salt of (-)-menthol occur highly stereoselectively... 

Ring D inversion seems to be a crucial step in biogenetic transformations of protoberberines to related alkaloids such as rhoeadine, retroprotoberberine, spirobenzylisoquinoline, and indenobenzazepine alkaloids. 8,14-Cyclober-bin-13-ol 478 derived from berberine (15) was successively treated with ethyl chloroformate, silver nitrate, and pyridinium dichromate (PDC) in dimethyl-formamide to give the keto oxazolidinone 479 (Scheme 98). Heating of 479 with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide in ethanol effected hydrolysis, retro-aldol reaction, cyclization, and dehydration to provide successfully the... 

In sharp contrast to the above mentioned conversions of 73a, its reaction with 0-ethyl thiophosphate is nonstereoselective (90% inversion and 10% retention). Moreover, with a fluoride anion, complete loss of stereochemistry was observed [60], An efficient synthesis of diastereomerically pure vinyl phosphonates lOOa-e was... 

The phosphonyl adduct 300 reacted with a dilute solution of anhydrous hydrogen chloride in ethanol or with sodium ethoxide to afford an essentially quantitative yield of the P-N cleaved product 304 with inversion of configuration. Addition of sodium ethoxide to a solution of 304 in methanol resulted in the formation of enantiomerically pure (+)-(.V)-ethyl methyl phenylphosphonate (305). It also reacted quantitatively with methylmagnesium iodide at room temperature to give the product of P-S bond cleavage 306, which upon acid catalyzed methanolysis afforded enantiomerically pure (+)-(R)- methyl methylphenylphosphinate (307) (Scheme 72) [108],...
