Three-membered ring compounds. Synthesis of the first authentic -lactam was achieved by Baumgarten by slowly adding a solution of potassium /-butoxide in toluene to a solution of the amide (1) and /-butyl hypochlorite in toluene at 5°. Success of the procedure depended upon keeping the concentration of /-butanol at... 

Ene Reactions.—Conia, who has done so much to demonstrate the synthetic utility and versatility of unsaturated carbonyl compound cyclizations, as exemplified by the prototype conversion of(271) into (272), has reviewed recent developments which includes applications to bridged-ring compound synthesis. The same group have reported on the double thermal cyclization of 3,3-dibutynylcyclopentanone (273) to give the [3,3,3]propellenes (274 60%) and (275 5%), and the monocyclization product (276 10%). Since (274) is stable under the reaction conditions, (275) is presumably formed from (276) by isomerization prior to a second ene cyclization step.

Allyl aryl ethers are used for allylation under basic conditionsfh], but they can be cleaved under neutral conditions. Formation of the five-membered ring compound 284 based on the cyclization of 283 has been applied to the syntheses of methyl jasmonate (285)[15], and sarkomycin[169]. The trisannulation reagent 286 for steroid synthesis undergoes Pd-catalyzed cyclization and aldol condensation to afford CD rings 287 of steroids with a functionalized 18-methyl group 170]. The 3-vinylcyclopentanonecarboxylate 289, formed from 288, is useful for the synthesis of 18-hydroxyestrone (290)[I7I]. 

Intramolecular amination with allylic acetates is used for the synthesis of cyclic alkaloids 175]. Cyclization of 293 affords the six-membered ring compound 294 rather than a four-membered ring. The reaction is particularly... 

Ring Synthesis From Nonheterocyclic Compounds. These methods may be further classified based on the number of bonds formed during the pyridine ring formation. Synthesis of a-picoline (2) from 5-oxohexanenitrile is a one-bond formation reaction (eq. 16) (49). The nitrile is obtained by reaction between acetone and acrylonitrile (50). If both reaction steps are considered together, the synthesis must be considered a two-bond forming one, ie, formation of (2) from acetone and acrylonitrile in a single step comes under the category of two-bond formation reaction. 

This reaction is used in the synthesis of large-ring compounds.

A spectacular application of the acyloin ester condensation was the preparation of catenaries like 11. These were prepared by a statistical synthesis which means that an acyloin reaction of the diester 10 has been carried out in the presence of an excess of a large ring compound such as 9, with the hope that some diester molecules would be threaded through a ring, and would then undergo ring closure to give the catena compound ... 

An important application of the potential for bis-alkylation is the use of a dihalide 7 as alkylating agent. This variant allows for the synthesis of cyclic compounds 8 by this route, mainly five- to seven-membered ring compounds have been prepared ...

Summary The formation, reactivity, and cycloaddition behavior of neopentylsilenes towards suitable reaction partners is described. Especially l,l-dichloro-2-neopentylsilene. Cl2Si=CHCH2Bu (2) - easily obtained from vinyltrichlorosilane and LiBu - is a useful building block for the synthesis of SiC four membered ring compounds. These can be converted into the isomeric Diels-Alder and retro ene products upon thermolysis reactions. The mode of the silenes cycloaddition reactions ([4+2] vs [2+2] addition) can be directed by either the substitution pattern at the Si=C moiety, the choice of reaction partners or the conditions. Furthermore the products resulting from cycloaddition reactions open up a wide variety of following reactions, which possibly will lead to new organosilicon materials or pharmaceutical compounds. 

Two approaches have been used in the synthesis of these types of compounds. Small boron-phosphorus ring compounds can serve as building blocks, and addition and elimination reactions with other main group elements can then extend the cage structure (see Schemes 23 and 24, Section 12.12.6.4.5). Alternatively, an unsaturated carbenoid fragment can be added to the bicyclic fragment as illustrated in Scheme 31 <1998IC490>. 

Ten years have passed since the first volume on "Small Ring Compounds in Organic Synthesis" was published within the series Topics in Current Chemistry (Vol. 133), and three more volumes have appeared in the meantime (Vol. 135, 144, 155). Wouldn t that be enough ... 

The authors, the editor and the publisher of this and a few more forthcoming Topics on "Small Ring Compounds in Organic Synthesis" intend to provide a service to the research community and hope that these books will generate more and fresh interest in this fascinating chemistry. 

Reductive and oxidative transformations of small ring compounds form the basis of a variety of versatile synthetic methods which include functionalization and carbon skeleton construction. Redox mechanisms of organotransition metal compounds play an important role in inducing or catalyzing specific reactions. Another useful route in this area is based on one-electron redox reactions. The redox tautomerism of dialkyl phosphonate also contributes to the efficiency of the reductive transformation of small ring compounds. This review summarizes selective transformations which have a high potential for chemical synthesis. 

This review surveys recent developments in the selective transformation of small ring compounds via redox reactions, which furnish a variety of valuable methods of synthesis. 

Strained ring compounds undergo insertion of a low-valence metal complex to give metallacycles and the cycloaddition of metallacycles has a potential in synthesis, as described above. This method is useful in ring transformations of cyclobutenediones and cyclobutenones. 

The concept of five-membered ring heterocyclic synthesis by transformation of the initial adduct of the ADC compound and substrate is not limited to cyclization of substitution products. l,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-ones (30, Scheme 3) result from heating the initial DEAZD-dichlorocarbene adduct.72 Treatment of the Diels Alder adducts 96 with zinc in acetic acid gives pyrroles in good yield (Eq. 17).151 The reaction has been extended to the synthesis of dipyrroles from the appropriate Diels-Alder adduct (96, R = pyrrol-2-yl).
