6- membered special syntheses

Cyclic five-membered ring urethane derivatives are also available, and they serve as precursors to amino acids. In one specialized synthesis, dethio-biotin(2,/7 was treated with hot HCl to give 7,8-diaminononanoic acid (7,8-diaminopelargonic acid,... 

Lactones whose rings are three or four membered (a lactones and p lactones) are very reactive making their isolation difficult Special methods are normally required for the laboratory synthesis of small ring lactones as well as those that contain rings larger than SIX membered...

Still another possibility in the base-catalyzed reactions of carbonyl compounds is alkylation or similar reaction at the oxygen atom. This is the predominant reaction of phenoxide ion, of course, but for enolates with less resonance stabilization it is exceptional and requires special conditions. Even phenolates react at carbon when the reagent is carbon dioxide, but this may be due merely to the instability of the alternative carbonic half ester. The association of enolate ions with a proton is evidently not very different from the association with metallic cations. Although the equilibrium mixture is about 92 % ketone, the sodium derivative of acetoacetic ester reacts with acetic acid in cold petroleum ether to give the enol. The Perkin ring closure reaction, which depends on C-alkylation, gives the alternative O-alkylation only when it is applied to the synthesis of a four membered ring ... 

The enzymatic synthesis of sucrose also throws light on the formation of the furanose form of fructose in the sucrose molecule. The fact that sucrose is directly formed from D-glucose-l-phosphate and D-fructose supports Isbell and Pigman s34 and Gottschalk s85 evidence that the latter monosaccharide occurs in solution in an equilibrium mixture of furanose and pyranose forms. This makes it unnecessary to postulate a special mechanism of stabilization of a five membered (furanose) ring before the formation of compound sugars containing the D-fructose molecule.86... 

PHC431, 2005PHC389) discussions. The specialized review (1993H601) surveyed the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepines with three-, four- and five-membered rings fused to different positions of the 1,5-benzodiazepine skeleton. Synthesis of DNA-interactive pyrrole[2,l-c][l,4]benzodiazepines (1994CR433) and medicinal chemistry aspects of the novel thieno benzodiazepine antipsychotic Olanzapine (1997MI1743) have been reviewed. 

Allenylsilanes serve as valuable three-carbon components in a general [3+2] annulation method for the synthesis of five-membered rings. A variety of general synthetic approaches to allenylsilanes have recently been developed and a number of specialized routes to various specific functionalized derivatives are available as well. The present procedure...

Special interest has been paid to the synthesis of bridged four-membered rings. The smallest system of this type, the bicyclo[1. l.l]pentane skeleton 6, could be prepared by photolysis of 3-diazobicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-2-one in methanol,43 however, the yield was very low ( 2%).
