Intramolecular cyclization construction

Whereas PDM 1 in theory could be assembled via the cyclooligomerization reaction, larger, more complex graphdiyne substructures like 91-94 could be constructed only via the intramolecular cyclization route. Scheme 22 illustrates the preparation of 91 [63]. From the outset, the need for solubilizing substituents was recognized thus, the required building blocks (95) were readily prepared by standard transformations. Fourfold in situ desilylation/alkynylation gave the... 

Differently substituted pyrrolopyrroles can be constructed from a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, between the adduct from glycines and aldehydes and maleimides. Then, for example, the initially formed iV-allyl-o-bromophenyl-substituted pyrrolopyrrole mixture, 223, + 224, can then undergo an intramolecular cyclization in the presence of catalytic palladium(O) to give the pyrroloindolizine 225 <1991TL1359> (Scheme 61). 

Many versatile approaches to the construction of fused heterocyclic systems (6 5 6) with ring junction heteroatoms have been reported. More general reactions which can be used for synthesis of derivatives of several tricyclic systems, and transformations which have potential for use in the preparation of a series of substituted compounds, are discussed in this section. Formation of the five-membered ring is presented first because it is a conceptually simple approach. It should be noted, however, that the addition of a fused six-membered ring to a bicyclic component offers much more versatility in the construction of a (6 5 6) system. Each subsection below starts with intramolecular cyclization of an isolated intermediate product. Reactions which follow are one-pot intermolecular cyclizations. 

Another approach to the construction of the central ring is an intramolecular cyclization of a substrate composed of two six-membered heterocycles and bridged by a one-atom unit. This method has been applied to the synthesis of derivatives of 3, 6, 12, and 13 C1995BML163, 1996JHC1147, 2001JHC1173, 2002T5733>. 

Intramolecular cyclopropanation is a useful method for construction of [n.l.0]-bicyclic compounds.17-21 225 275 As a matter of course, alkenyl and diazo groups of the substrate are connected by a linker and the transition-state conformation of intramolecular cyclization is influenced by the length and the shape of the linker. Thus, the enantioselectivity of the reaction often depends upon the substrates used. Use of a catalyst suitably designed for each reaction is essential for achieving high enantioselectivity. 

A Mitsunobu reaction then inverts the C-4 configuration to provide compound 151, and subsequent isomerization provides compound 152, which is ready for Lewis acid-mediated cyclization to construct the eight-membered firing. Using MeiAlOTf as a catalyst, intramolecular cyclization occurs, giving product 153 in which A, B, and C rings have been introduced with the desired stereochemistry (Scheme 7-45). 

Padwa et al. <20010L1781, 2004JOG33> succeeded in constructing the saturated pyrrolizinones 125 by photo-chemical-promoted intramolecular cyclization of thiolactams 123 leading to 124. Treatment of the latter with Raney-Ni in ethanol afforded compound 125a, while treatment with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate (DMTSF) followed by Raney-Ni leads to bicyclic hexahydropyrrolizin-3-ones 125b (Scheme 21). 

Intramolecular cyclization DKP formation through intramolecular cyclization of the Nj—C2 bond is an efficient route to ring closure and the construction of these head-to-tail dipeptides involves the coupling of an N-protected a-amino acid to an a-amino ester, followed by N-deprotection and cyclization.

A typical example involves the perylene monoimide donors described above. They have been used to construct antenna models in which up to eight perylene units were covalently bound to a zinc(II) porphyrin94. Osuka and coworkers windmill porphyrins also present excellent antenna complex building blocks (vide infra)95. In addition, several porphyrin wheel antenna complexes were prepared by template-assisted synthesis96,97 or self-aggregation98. Intramolecular cyclization of porphyrin dodecamers to a porphyrin wheel has also been achieved99. 

Samuel Danishefsky of Columbia University has also described (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 8298) a total synthesis of 1, starting from the pyroglutamate derivative 10. Conjugate addition followed by alkylation established the lactam framework. Intramolecular cyclization of 12 gave 13, establishing the aminated quaternary center. The oxygenated quaternary center was then constructed by phenylselenyl-mediatcd cyclization of 14. The end game of this synthesis used the already-established cyclohexenyl zinc addition, which worked as well with 16 as it had with 7. 

A general approach towards the asymmetric synthesis of amino acid derived 4-alkyl-4-carboxy-2-azetidinones has been described [192], The (+)- or (-)-lO-(N, Af-dicyclohexylsulfamoyl)isobomeol was used as chiral auxiliary in the intramolecular cyclization of /V-(/>methoxybenzyI)-/V-chloroacetyl Phe and Ala derivatives for the stereocontrolled base-catalyzed construction of the (1-lactam ring (Scheme 85). 

In a different type d ring-construction process, base-induced intramolecular cyclization of the ester derived from the acids 242 gave the 1-benzazepines 243 in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme 31). The yields were affected by the nature of the substituent group R1 on nitrogen, with the best yield being obtained with an iV-benzyl derivative (243 R1 =CH2Ph, R2 = Br, R3 = Et) <2004TL9335>. 

In the total synthesis of (-)-conocarpan, the chiral 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b furan core was constructed by radical based intramolecular cyclization as shown below <07CC2151>. In addition, chiral 2-isopropeny 1-2,3-dihydrobenzo[6J furans and 2-amido-bcnzo b furans were be made by palladium-catalyzed reaction in the presence of Trost ligand, and the rhodium(I)-catalyzed cyclization, respectively <07JOC2857 07OL2361>. 

The title transformation provides an alternative pathway for the construction of the cyclopropane ring from a synthon of three carbons. The intramolecular cyclization of homoenolate anion equivalents is represented in Scheme 11, Eq. (ii). In practice, several routes involving metals such as Mg, Zn, and Ti, as well as different homoenolate precursors, have been developed [17a-e]. 

With sodium methoxide as base, cyclopentadiene reacts with benzalacetophenone to give a mixture of the diphenyl dihydropentalenes 146 and 147 (Scheme 25).227 Once Michael addition occurs, a second deprotonation generates a new cyclopenta-dienide anion which is ideally constructed for intramolecular cyclization and dehydration. 

There are two general approaches to the construction of the 1,4-diazocine ring from acyclic precursors (1) via intramolecular cyclization of the appropriately functionalized compound with the formation of one C-N or C-C bond, and (2) by intermolecular condensation with the formation of two C-N bonds. 

The synthesis of 1,4-diazocines via an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of a C-N bond is generally a result of a stepwise reaction, when a precursor is constructed first. In the synthesis of PKC modulators BL-V8 16 and NL-V8 17 and their analogs (see Sections 14.06.2 and 14.06.3.7), challenges exist in the stereoselective construction of the functionalized precursors 32, which can cyclize via intermolecular amidation to give the target... 

Formation of p-Lactams, Peptides and Oligonucleotides. The intramolecular cyclization technology to form /8-lactams using DCC in the condensation reaction was used by Sheehan and Henery-Logan in the total synthesis of penicilline in 1957. They also found that N-trityl penicilloates are cyclized with diisopropylcarbodiimides. Other p-lactames, such as cephalothin lactone and (—)-thienamicin are similarly constructed. The latter synthesis proceeds in a stereospecific manner and DCC is used in combination with triethylamine to give a 93 % yield of the /3-lactam 661. 

The asymmetric approaches leading to the construction of enantiomerically pure 9-azabicy-clo[4.2. IJnonane skeleton are mostly concerned with the intramolecular cyclization of a pyrrolidine iminium ion (46). They differ significantly in the preparation of cA-substituted pyrrolidine (45) precursors and in overall yield for the construction of this basic skeleton. See Fig. 7.2.
