ISOC reaction was employed to synthesize substituted tetrahydrofurans 172 fused to isoxazolines (Scheme 21) [44b]. The silyl nitronates 170 resulted via the nitro ethers 169 from base-mediated Michael addition of allyl alcohols 168 to nitro olefins 167. Cycloaddition of 170 followed by elimination of silanol provided 172. Reactions were conducted in stepwise and one-pot tandem fashion (see Table 16). A terminal olefinic Me substituent increased the rate of cycloaddition (Entry 3), while an internal olefinic Me substituent decreased it (Entry 4). 

At least one terminal chain, such as an alkyl (R) or alkoxy chain (RO) is attached to the molecular core. The second group may be a similar group or a small substituent such as a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I) or a cyano (CN), isothio-cyanato (NCS), dimethylamino (N(CH3)2) or nitro (NO2) group or a fluorinated group such as trifluoromethyl (CF3), trifluoromethoxy (CF3O), difluoro-methoxy (CF2HO), etc. Compounds with two short terminal alkyl or alkoxy chains tend to exhibit a nematic phase. Mesomorphic compounds with short... 

Both total syntheses of Evans et al. and Nicolaou et al. first perform synthesis of the AB/C-O-D-ring systems before condensation with the D-O-E ring system. The Evans et al. route was extended by several synthetic steps by the conversion of the 2-OH-group of Hpg and the conversion of nitro substituents after SnAt into hydrogen substituents. Problems developed with the transformation of the C-terminal amide into the carboxy function during deprotection steps. In contrast, Nicolaou et al. had to face the relatively moderate atroposelectivities and had to solve the somewhat obscure conversion of the triazene into a phenolic group. Both syntheses have been compared and discussed in the literature. ... 

I crmaleic acid can be used in the Baeyer-Villiger reaction, as illustrated for the case of cyclooctanone. It epoxidizes terminal olehns eflSciently at a low temperature l -oclene affords the epoxide in 80% yield at 0° but at 25° the yield is only 40%. In I he case of the more reactive internal olefins the epoxide ring is cleaved even at 0° to give the diol monomaleate. Aromatic amines with electron-withdrawing substituents MIC oxidized to nitro compounds. 

The cyclic catechoylamides, in which R = (CH2)P are abbreviated as n, m, p, m-CYCAM. The sulfonated and the analogous nitro derivatives are indicated by n, m, p, m-CYCAMS and n, m, p, m-CYCAM-N02 respectively. The linear sulfonated catechoylamides are abbreviated as m, n, m-LICAMS. A prefix is added to indicate terminal N substituents... 

Even in RSU-1069 (Figure 1, 13), a nitroimidazole with an N-1 substituent terminating in an aziridine but insulated from the aromatic moiety by a 3-carbon chain, the inductive effect of the nitroimidazole group is sufficient that reduction of the nitro group activates the alkylating function. 

Substituents on the terminal alkyne 5 can be varied applying both protocols from aromatic to aliphatic, although method B allows the introduction of a wider variety of substituents on aromatic alkynes ranging from electron donating to electron withdrawing. Substituents on the 2-iodo aniline 6 can also be varied easily, but nitro groups require conditions B.
