Oximes cycloadditions

The isoxazoline 8 is formed by a dipolar cycloaddition reaction between the nitrile oxide formed by oxidation of the oxime. Cycloaddition occurs to give the expected 5-substituted regioisomer of the isoxazoline (see Section 3.4). Cycloaddition also occurs with high stereoselectivity for the Felkin-Anh adduct. See J. W. Bode, N. Fraefel, D. Muri and E. M. Carreira, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 40 (2001), 2082. 

Alkylarylisoxazoles can be obtained from the cycloaddition of nitrile Af-oxides to substituted alkynes or alkenes (Section 4.16.4.1.2(ii)), and from the condensation of the 1,4-dilithio oximes (358) with benzonitriles (72JHC183) or amides (78JOC3015). 

Reaction of 2-(A -allylamino)-3-formyl-4//-pyrido[l, 2-u]pyrimidin-4-ones 219 in EtOH with HONH2 HCI yielded ( )-oximes 220 at 0°C and 221 (R = PhCH2) under reflux. Heating 220 (R = H) in a boiling solvent afforded cw-fused tetracyclic cycloadducts 221 (R = H). In an aprotic solvent (e.g., benzene or MeCN) the main a>fused cycloadducts 221 (R = H) were accompanied by a mixture of trauA-fused cycloadducts 222, A -oxides 223 and tetracyclic isoxazoline 224 (96T887). The basicity of the 2-allylamino moiety of compounds 219 affected the rate of the conversion. Cycloadditions were also investigated in dioxane and BuOH. 

Trifluoro-2-nitrosopropene can be generated in situ from 1 -bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropan-2-one 2-oxime. It is a highly reactive nitrosoalkene that readily undergoes cycloaddition with silyl enol ethers and other die-nophiles to give CF3- substituted 1,2-oxazines (92JOC339).

The reaction of the a-bromo aldoxime 52e (R = R = Me) with unsaturated alcohols has been extended to the heterocyclic systems furfuryl alcohols and 2-thiophene methanol [29b]. The furanyl and thiophenyl oximes 63a-c were treated with NaOCl and the resulting heterocyclic nitrile oxides were found to undergo spontaneous intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition to produce the unsaturated tricyclic isoxazolines 64a-c in high yield (Eq. 5). In these cases, the heterocyclic ring acts as the dipolarophile with one of the double bonds adding to the nitrile oxide [30]. 

Intramolecular nitrone cycloadditions often require higher temperatures as nitrones react more sluggishly with alkenes than do nitrile oxides and the products contain a substituent on nitrogen which may not be desirable. Conspicuously absent among various nitrones employed earlier have been NH nitrones, which are tautomers of the more stable oximes. However, Grigg et al. [58 a] and Padwa and Norman [58b] have demonstrated that under certain conditions oximes can undergo addition to electron deficient olefins as Michael acceptors, followed by cycloadditions to multiple bonds. We found that intramolecular oxime-olefin cycloaddition (lOOC) can occur thermally via an H-nitrone and lead to stereospecific introduction of two or more stereocenters. This is an excellent procedure for the stereoselective introduction of amino alcohol functionality via N-0 bond cleavage. 

It was possible to effect lOOC reaction leading to six-membered rings, e.g., 220 in low yield (ca. 20%) by heating the reaction mixture at 110 °C (Eq. 22) [59]. In fact, Oppolzer and Keller [60] had previously reported the lOOC reaction of 219 to 220 in 20% yield by heating at 110 °C. Furthermore, the scope of these oxime-olefin cycloadditions has been extended to ketoximes, e.g., 221. The latter was prepared by amination of a-bromoacetophenone with allylamine 214a. Heating of 221 at 110 °C for 8 h led to cycloaddition with formation of the fused pyrrolidine 222 in 88% yield. As in Scheme 25, only one... 

It is assumed that, after the initial formation of the oxime 2-634, a Michael addition occurs to give 2-635 with formation of a nitrone moiety which then can undergo a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to give 2-636. 

Denmark and coworkers have found that methylaluminum bis (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-phenoxide) (MAD) or methylaluminum bis(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (MAPh) is effective as the Lewis acid promoter for cycloaddition of 2,2-disubstituted 1-nitroalkenes (Eq. 8.100).158 Other Lewis acids such as SnCl4, TiCl4, and TiCl2(Oi-Pr)2 fail to promote the cycloaddition of 2,2-disubstituted 1-nitroalkenes. The products are converted into 3,3-disubstituted pyrrolidines via hydrogenolysis.158 Reductive cleavage of N-0 bonds produces oxime hemiacetals, which are further reduced to amido aldehydes and finally to pyrrolidines. This reaction provides a useful synthetic method for pyrrolidines, which is discussed later. 

Oxidation of oxime 422 with aqueous sodium hypochlorite has been used to synthesize the central piperidine ring of the tricyclic system 423 in moderate yield, which presumably proceeds via an intramolecular 1,3-diploar cycloaddition of the intermediate nitrile oxide (Equation 114) <2000EJ0645>. 

Isoxazolidinoindolizines and pyrazolidinoindolizines, 268, can be prepared from the oximes or hydrazones 267. 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of oxime or hydrazone on to the adjacent alkene occur cleanly by heating the substrate in acetonitrile, or in the case of the basic aliphatic hydrazones, under acidic conditions <1987JOC226> (Equation 40). 

In particular, the reactions of electrophilically activated benzonitrile A-oxides with 3-methylenephthalimidines with formation of 2-isoxazolines and oximes and the cycloaddition between alkynyl metal(O) Fischer carbenes and nitrones leading to 4-isoxazolines have been investigated by density functional theory methods <06JOC9319 06JOC6178>. 

The scope and efficiency of [4+2] cycloaddition reactions used for the synthesis of pyridines continue to improve. Recently, the collection of dienes participating in aza-Diels Alder reactions has expanded to include 3-phosphinyl-l-aza-l,3-butadienes, 3-azatrienes, and l,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)buta-l, 3-dienes (1,3-bis silyl enol ethers), which form phosphorylated, vinyl-substituted, and 2-(arylsulfonyl)-4-hydroxypyridines, respectively <06T1095 06T7661 06S2551>. In addition, efforts to improve the synthetic efficiency have been notable, as illustrated with the use of microwave technology. As shown below, a synthesis of highly functionalized pyridine 14 from 3-siloxy-l-aza-1,3-butadiene 15 (conveniently prepared from p-keto oxime 16) and electron-deficient acetylenes utilizes microwave irradiation to reduce reaction times and improve yields <06T5454>. 

The cycloaddition, reduction and oxidation reactions emanating from a,/J-unsatu-rated nitroalkenes provide easy access to a vast array of functionalities that include nitroalkanes, N-substituted hydroxylamines, amines, ketones, oximes, and a-substi-tuted oximes and ketones [73-75], Consequently, there are numerous possibilities of using these in situ generated nitroalkenes for the preparation of valuable building blocks and synthetic precursors.

Chromone-3-carbonitrile oxide obtained from 3-formylchromone oxime by bromination and subsequent dehydrobromination underwent cycloaddition reactions with terminal alkenes to give isoxazolines 34 (175).
