Five-membered ring compounds, synthesis

Allyl aryl ethers are used for allylation under basic conditionsfh], but they can be cleaved under neutral conditions. Formation of the five-membered ring compound 284 based on the cyclization of 283 has been applied to the syntheses of methyl jasmonate (285)[15], and sarkomycin[169]. The trisannulation reagent 286 for steroid synthesis undergoes Pd-catalyzed cyclization and aldol condensation to afford CD rings 287 of steroids with a functionalized 18-methyl group 170]. The 3-vinylcyclopentanonecarboxylate 289, formed from 288, is useful for the synthesis of 18-hydroxyestrone (290)[I7I]. 

The concept of five-membered ring heterocyclic synthesis by transformation of the initial adduct of the ADC compound and substrate is not limited to cyclization of substitution products. l,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-ones (30, Scheme 3) result from heating the initial DEAZD-dichlorocarbene adduct.72 Treatment of the Diels Alder adducts 96 with zinc in acetic acid gives pyrroles in good yield (Eq. 17).151 The reaction has been extended to the synthesis of dipyrroles from the appropriate Diels-Alder adduct (96, R = pyrrol-2-yl). 

An especially efficient reagent of this type is the boron-containing five-membered ring compound shown in Figure 3.30. Since this reagent is quite difficult to synthesize, it has not been used much in asymmetric synthesis. Nonetheless, this reagent will be presented here simply because it is particularly easy to see with which face of aC=C double bond it will react.

Molecules with endocyclic Si=Si double bonds, like the tetrasilabutadiene 139, have also only recently become accessible and their chemistry has not yet been reviewed. In the less than four years since 1996 two three-membered, two four-membered and three five-membered ring compounds containing an Si=Si double bond have been prepared and, in most cases, their structures have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Although two synthetic routes dominate in the synthesis of acyclic disilenes, the cyclic disilenes have mostly been prepared by the special methods summarized below. 

The sixth item concerns applications for both cyclometalation reactions and their products, which are organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds. The applications for cyclometalation reactions are syntheses of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds, and these products and their reaction intermediates are used to obtain their derivatives. Pincer products are also utilized for synthesis of their derivatives. 

Cyclometalation reactions for the synthesis of organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring compounds proceed very promptly, because hve-membered ring compounds are more stable as compared with other ring compounds, such as four- and six-membered ring compounds. The cyclometalation reactions generally proceed regioselectively as a result.

As the second category of applications, or applications of the reaction products, on the other hand, the anthor has published only two reviews, in 2004 and in 2007. The title of the former is Intramolecular Five-Membered Ring Compounds and Their Applications [16] and that of the latter is Three Types of Reactions with Intramolecnlar Five-Membered Ring Compounds in Organic Synthesis [18]. ... 

All characteristic last steps in the synthesis of EDOT, i.e. the ring closure to the dioxane structure, are also sufficient for the formation of the analogous seven-membered rings (1,3-dioxepanes), the 3,4-propylenedioxythiophenes (ProDOTs) Williamson ether synthesis [13], transetherification [30] and Mitsunobu reaction [25]. The analogous basic five-membered ring compound 3,4-methylenedioxythiophene (MDOT, a 1,3-dioxolane derivative) is also accessible by Williamson ether synthesis using bro-mochloromethane [31]. 

A [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/RCM sequence [2] was also used as a key step in the total synthesis of a bioactive spirobenzofuran 7 isolated from the mycelium cultures of Acremonium sp. HKl 0230 [3]. The two consecutive quaternary centers embedded in the 1,6-diene 9 are worthy of note in the context of cyclopentene formation by RCM, and the five-membered ring compound 10 was obtained in high yield (97%) using catalyst [Ru]-I. The same type of strategy was applied for the efficient construction of the two vicinal quaternary carbon atoms present in the herbertanes sesquiterpenes (Scheme 1.2) [4].

Dipolar cycloaddUions. Interest in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions increased dramatically during the past 20 years, largely because of the pioneering studies of Huisgen [7, 2] The versatility of this class of pericychc reactions in the synthesis of five-membered-ring heterocyclic compounds is comparable with that of the Diels-Alder reaction in the synthesis of six-membered-ring carbocyclic systems (equation 1)... 

A modern variant is the intramolecular magnesium-ene reaction, e.g. the reaction of the alkene-allylic-Grignard compound 9 to give the five-membered ring product 10. This reaction proceeds regio- and stereoselectively, and is a key step in a synthesis of the sesquiterpenoid 6-protoilludene ... 

An important application of the potential for bis-alkylation is the use of a dihalide 7 as alkylating agent. This variant allows for the synthesis of cyclic compounds 8 by this route, mainly five- to seven-membered ring compounds have been prepared ...
