Heterocyclic compounds Cyclic organic

Heterocyclic compounds are organic ring structures (-cyclic) that include an atom or atoms other than carbon (hetero-) in the ring. Thus, although compounds such as benzene and cyclohexane form organic rings, they do not include atoms other than carbon, and therefore do not qualify as heterocyclic. The particular number of elements in the ring varies, with... 

Heterocycles are cyclic organic compounds in which one or more carbon atoms is replaced by heteroatoms, atoms other than CorH. 

HETCOR (Section 13 19) A 2D NMR technique that correlates the H chemical shift of a proton to the chemical shift of the carbon to which it is attached HETCOR stands for heteronuclear chemical shift correlation Heteroatom (Section 1 7) An atom in an organic molecule that IS neither carbon nor hydrogen Heterocyclic compound (Section 3 15) Cyclic compound in which one or more of the atoms in the nng are elements other than carbon Heterocyclic compounds may or may not be aromatic... 

The central Co,=Cp double bond of an allenylidene backbone can also react with a variety of dipolar organic substrates to yield cyclic adducts. Most of the cychza-tion processes reported occur in a stepwise manner via an initial nucleophilic attack at the Coi atom and further rearrangement of the molecule involving a coupling with the Cp carbon. Representative examples are the reactions of the electron-poor ruthenium-allenylidene complex 46 with ethyl diazoacetate and 1,1-diethylpropar-gylamine to yield the five- and six-membered heterocyclic compounds 82 and 83, respectively (Scheme 29) [260, 284]. 

Aromaticity has been long recognized as one of the most useful theoretical concepts in organic chemistry. It is essential in understanding the reactivity, structure and many physico-chemical characteristics of heterocyclic compounds. Aromaticity can be defined as a measure of the basic state of cyclic conjugated TT-electron systems, which is manifested in increased thermodynamic stability, planar geometry with non-localized cyclic bonds, and the ability to sustain an induced ring current. In contrast to aromatic compounds there exist nonaromatic and antiaromatic systems. Thus, pyrazine (69)... 

Atoms other than carbon and hydrogen that appear in organic compounds are called heteroatoms. Cyclic organic compounds that contain one or more heteroatoms are called heterocycles. Heterocyclic compounds are the largest class of organic compounds and can be either aromatic (such as pyridine, pyrrole, and furan) or nonaromatic (such as piperidine, pyrrolidine, and tetrahydrofuran). 

Nina A. Nedolya was born in Irkutsk (Russia) and educated in organic chemistry at the Irkutsk State University (Diploma 1972, PhD 1982, DSc 1998). From 1995 to 1999 she was associated with Prof. L. Brandsma at the Utrecht University (The Netherlands). In 1999 she obtained her second PhD from the Utrecht University. She is presently Head of the Research Group of Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds at A. E. Favorsky Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry. She is the author of over 210 review articles and research papers. She is also one of the inventors for 112 patents. She is interested in the chemistry of polyfunctional unsaturated heteroatomic systems (vinyl, allenyl, and alkynyl ethers and their derivatives, linear and cyclic heteropolyenes, hetero-cumulenes), including synthesis of important heterocycles, particularly pyrroles, thiophenes, thiazoles, imidazoles, dihydrofurans, dihydropyridines, pyridines, quinolines, dihydroazepines, and azepines, based on metallated allenes or alkynes and/or heterocumulenes. 

The double silylation of unsaturated organic compounds catalyzed by group 10 metals is a convenient synthetic route to disilacyclic compounds. Nickel and platinum complexes, in particular, are excellent catalysts for the transformation of disilanes. Cyclic bis(silyl)metal complexes2,3 have been implicated as key intermediates in the metal-catalyzed double silylation of alkynes, alkenes, and aldehydes however, the intermediates have not been isolated due to their instability. We now describe (i) the isolation of the reactive intermediates cyclic bis(silyl)metal compounds (1) with bulky o-carborane unit 4 (ii) the generation of a new class of heterocyclic compounds (4-5) by the stoichiometric reaction of the intermediates with a variety of substrates such as an alkyne, dione, and nitrile 4 and (iii) the facile double silylation of alkenes and alkynes (10,12-14) catalyzed by the intermediate under mild conditions.5... 

Cyclic organic compounds are classified as carbocycles or as heterocycles. CarbocycJic rings contain only carbon atoms, but heterocyclic rings contain one or more different atoms in addition to carbon. Nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are the most common heteroatoms. 

Decamethylsilicocene (1) reacts with carbon dioxide already under mild conditions. Surprisingly, the products obtained depend on the solvent used. Bubbling CO2 at room temperature for about 3 through a solution of 1 in pyridine led to the eight-membered cyclic compound 1 in about 65 % yield, whereas in toluene as solvent the spiro heterocyclic compound II was formed in about 70 % yield. 1 reacts with carbon oxysulfide already under very mild conditions A toluene solution of 1 was added to liquid COS at -78°C. The dithiadisiletane III was isolated in about 50 % yield after a reaction time of 2 at this temperature. Compound III, already known in the literature as the reaction product of 1 with sulfur [6], is poorly soluble in organic solvents.
