Ring compounds, structure

All HMGRIs can be chemically classified as 7-substituted-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acids, the general structure of which is shown in Table 30.3. Additionally, these compounds can be subclassitied based on their lower ring. Compounds structurally related to the natural products mevastatin and lovastatin have structural features common to ring A, whereas those that are completely synthetic have structural features common to ring B (25,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35).

Firefly lucifenn is an example of an azole that contains a benzene ring fused to the five membered ring Such structures are fairly common Another example is benzimidazole present as a structural unit m vitamin B12 Some compounds related to benzimidazole include purine and its ammo substituted derivative adenine one of the so called het erocychc bases found m DNA and RNA (Chapter 28)...

Tertiary pyrrolines (49, = 1) and piperideines (49, = 2) (if R = H and the enamine can exist in the monomeric form or if R = aryl) evidently possess an endocyclic -double bond (79,155,156). The stretching frequency of the double bond can be lowered to 1620-1635 cm by conjugation with an aromatic substituent. The double bond of an analogous compound with aliphatic substituents in position 2 may occupy either the endo or the exo position. Lukes and co-workers (157) have shown that the majority of the five-membered-ring compounds, traditionally formulated with the double bond in a position, possess the structure of 2-alkylidene derivatives (50) with an exocyclic double bond, infrared absorption at 1627 cm . Only the 1,2-dimethyl derivative (51) is actually a J -pyrroline, absorbing at 1632 cm . For comparison, l,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylene pyrrolidine (52) with an unambiguous exocyclic double bond has been prepared (54). 

Occasionally it happens that the oxo compound, produced by oxidation, forms a hydrate which is further oxidized to a dihydroxy compound. Attention must be given to the possibility (so far unreported) that when the hydrated species is in equilibrium with a trace of the ring-opened structure a sufficiently fast oxidation rate of the amino-aldehyde (i.e. the acyclic structure) could lead to the incorrect conclusion that the original material was not cyclic. 

As mentioned earlier, the possible products of the -complexes include ring-opened structures. This includes isomer 181 and some of its derivatives, for example, 187,188,196,197, 203, and 204, as well as the products of interaction with organoiron, 180,191, and 194, and organocobalt, 199,200, and 201, compounds. They have already been discussed together with the variously characterized V-complexes. Examples of the ring-opening reactions based on the -q- and ri -species are given next.

Of particular interest with respect to structure and bonding are the four-membered silaplatinum ring compounds 26abc. 

Surprisingly enough, the effect of ring strain on the electronic structure of the —SO and —S02 groups is rather small. Sulphur charges and S—O BOPs are almost constant in the ring compounds and in the dimethyl derivatives. The only exception is a substantially weaker C—S bond (lower BOP) in ethylene episulphoxide.
