The cyclizahon of amino alcohols should be an attractive method for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds, mainly because they can be obtained in a single step and without the generation of wasteful byproducts. Carbon-nitrogen bond formation catalyzed by Cp lr complexes has been extended to the synthesis of N-hetero-cyclic compounds by the cyclization of amino alcohols.

An efficient, practical solid-phase synthesis of a variety of bis-hetero-cyclic compounds was developed starting from resin-bound orthogonally protected lysine (Fig. 10). Tetraamines 36 were synthesized by exhaustive reduction of resin-bound tetraamides 35. Cyclization with different commercially available bifunctional reagents such as cyanogen bromide, thio-carbonyldiimidazole, carbonyldiimidazole, and oxalyldiimidazole yielded the corresponding bis-heterocyclic compounds bis-cyclic guanidines 37,39 bis-cyclic thioureas 38, bis-cyclic ureas 39, and bis-diketopiperazines 40, respectively.40 Reduction of compounds 40 led to bis-piperazines 41. 

The synthesis of five-membered carbo- and hetero-cyclic compounds, including fused rings, has been reported using acetate as a nucleophile in the cyclization of 1,6-enynes under palladium(II) catalysis (Scheme 91). The reaction is initiated by trans-acetoxypalladation of the alkynes and quenched by either trans- or ra-deaceloxypal-ladation in the presence of 2,2/-bipyridine as the ligand.134... 

Carbo-cyclic Compounds.—Contrasted with the hetero-cyclic compounds, which we have just been discussing in a general way, we have other compounds whose constitution is also that of a closed ring or cycle, but this ring is composed of carbon groups only. To such we assign the names carbo-cyclic compounds or iso-cyclic compounds and they embrace not only hydrocarbons but also all of the different groups of derivatives which we have heretofore studied. 

Part I Aliphatic or open chain compounds including certain hetero-cyclic compounds directly related to them. 

Part II Carbo-cyclic compounds including not only carbon ring compounds derived from benezene iso-cyclic, but also carbon ring compounds not derived from benzene, ali-cyclic in addition to these the hetero-cyclic compounds as a group. 

In the introduction to the benzene series or carbo-cyclic compounds (p. 458) the group of hetero-cyclic compounds was referred to. The representatives of this group which were mentioned at that time were all direct derivatives of the open chain compounds. They included the lactonesj the lactams, the di-basic acid anhydrides and the imides corresponding to the last, e.g. ... 

The hetero-cyclic compounds which contain members in the ring are represented by three compounds in one of which oxygen is the linking element, in another sulphur and in the third the imide group (NH). Thq are as follows ... 

This five membered hetero-cyclic compound is analogous to the two preceding ones having the oxygen of furfuran replaced by the imide group, (—NH—). Two methods of synthesis prove its constitution. Succinimide when distilled with sodium or zinc dust is reduced and pyrrole is obtained. 

All three of the hetero-cyclic compounds just considered, viz., furfuran, thiophen and pyrrole, possess definite benzene properties. This is as would be expected in the case of compounds containing a carbon cycle with two ethylene groupings. Of the three, thiophen is the most strongly aromatic in its character. 

By the action of nascent hydrogen pyrrole takes up two or four hydrogen atoms and is converted into the corresponding hetero-cyclic compounds containing, in the first place, only on ethylene group, and in the second nonCj the final compound being fully saturated. The first compound is known as pyrroline, the second as pyrrolidine. 

All of these syntheses show clearly the relationship between pyrrole and pyrrolidine and confirm the constitution of pyrrole and of the other five membered hetero-cyclic compounds. 

The only six membered hetero-cyclic compound which we shall consider is the one analogous to pyrrole. It contains a hetero-cyclic ring of five carbons and one nitrogen just as pyrrole contains four carbons and one nitrogen. This compound is known as pyridine. That pyridine is a six membered ring analogous to pyrrole is proven by the fact previously referred to (p. 854), that potassium pyrrole by the action of chloroform takes up an additional carbon and yields a chlorine substitution product of pyridine. 

Two of the five membered hetero-cyclic compounds form condensed rings with benzene, viz., furfuran and pyrrole. The resulting compounds are represented as follows ... 

Indole.— The second compound above, a condensed benzene and pyrrole compound, is known as indole and is a very important compound both physiologically and in its relation to indigo. While indigo itself is not a simple condensed hetero-cyclic compound it belongs here in our discussion because of its relation to indole. The constitution of indole is proven by several synthetic relationships. 

When phenyl glycine ortho-caxhoxyMc acid is fused with potassium hydroxide it first loses water yielding an acid, indoi llic acid, and this loses carbon dioxide yielding indoxyl. In indoxyl the hydroxyl group is in the 3-position while in the isomeric oxindole it is in the 2-position. All of these comp>ounds are thus condensed hetero-cyclic compounds of a benzene ring and a pyrrole ring. Indole is the mother substance and the others are hydroxy or ketone derivatives. 

The reason for considering these compounds in this the last chapter of the book is not because they are more complex or less known than some other groups but because in their chemical classification most of those we shall study are related to the two hetero-cyclic compounds recently discussed, viz., p3ridine and quinoline. 

Quite interestingly, the hydrazido(2-) Hgands derived from the ligating N2 in complexes 1 and 2 are transformed into N-hetero cyclic compounds by application of the condensation and related methods (Scheme 6). Thus, their reactions with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, pyrylium salts, and phthalaldehyde, followed by workup of the complexes containing N-heterocyclic ligands with LiAlH4 or KOH/alcohol, result in the formation of pyrroles [29], pyridines [30], and phthalimidines [31], respectively.

The cyclization of an aryl radical is a useful process for the preparation of (hetero)cyclic compounds such as tetrahydrobenzofurans, chromanes, indanes, indolines and tetrahydroquinolines [147]. The synthetic strategy involves the generation of an aryl radical which subsequently adds to an unsaturated moiety, most usually in a 5-exo or a 6-exo trig process (Scheme 13.19). After ring closure, the intermediate cyclized radical 93 can either be reduced (pathway A) or it can react further with a nucleophile (SRNl-type process, pathway C) or with another radical acceptor to yield, after reduction, compounds of type 94 (pathway B). 

The 5-aminopyrazole system represents an important hetero-cyclic compound having considerable interest due their long history of applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries [1-4].
