Renaud and co-workers used 78 for the synthesis of (-)-phaseolinic acid (6) and (-)-pertusarinic acid (8) (Scheme 12) [32, 33]. Radical addition of dimethyl phenylselenomalonate to 78 proceeded with rearrangement of the bicyclics to yield the seleno-acetal 79 [34]. After reductive deselenylation and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation treatment of 80 with BU4NI and BBr3 led to a simultaneous cleavage of the ether, the lactone, and the methyl ester func-... 

Sha et al. (45) reported an intramolecular cycloaddition of an alkyl azide with an enone in an approach to a cephalotaxine analogue (Scheme 9.45). Treatment of the bromide 205 with NaN3 in refluxing methanol enabled the isolation of compounds 213 and 214 in 24 and 63% yields, respectively. The azide intermediate 206 underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to produce the unstable triazoline 207. On thermolysis of 207 coupled with rearrangement and extrusion of nitrogen, compounds 213 and 214 were formed. The lactam 214 was subsequently converted to the tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-Boc)-protected sprrocyclic amine 215. The exocyclic double bond in compound 215 was cleaved by ozonolysis to give the spirocyclic ketone 216, which was used for the synthesis of the cephalotaxine analogue 217. 

To allow fast orientation. Table 1 summarizes the most important methods for the synthesis and rearrangement of the cyclopropylmethyl compounds available today. The first column indicates the basic structure(s) to be rearranged, the second details the substituent(s), and the third gives information on the most general methods for the synthesis of the substrates. The fourth column specifies whether cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes and/or cyclobutanones may be obtained, and in the last column the section is given where the corresponding transformation is discussed. Asymmetric versions are indicated with an asterisk ( ). 

Although rearrangements are usually seen as annoying side reactions, a clever chemist can use a rearrangement to accomplish a synthetic goal. Problem 11-15 shows how an alcohol substitution with rearrangement might be used in a synthesis. 

Aryl- and heteroaryltins are similarly used for the synthesis of the corresponding iodides, and they also allow the presence of functional groups such as alcohols , esters and amides and amines . It is noteworthy that with substrates such as allyltins or propargyltins the iododestannylation occurs with rearrangement of the unsaturation . ... 

The allylic oxidation of alkenes by O2 involves an ene reaction, and proceeds with rearrangement s as in Scheme 4. The intermediate allylic hydroperoxide (5) can be reduced to yield an allylic alcohol (6), or be treated with base to give an unsaturated carbonyl conqiound (7). The reaction works best on tri- or tetra-substituted alkenes, and the relative preference for attack is Me - CH2 CH. The O2 allylic oxidation has been used in the synthesis of a large number of natural products, including some naturally occurring allylic hydroperoxides. It is possible that O2 reactions of this type are involved in biosynAetic processes. 

Allyl complexes were amongst the earliest studied nomigid complexes, and there are a number of reviews on their rearrangements. Interest has been particularly high owing to their importance in catalysis and synthesis, with palladium and molybdenum complexes playing leading roles. 

Cyclization to the benzo[c]phenanthridine (127) competes with rearrangement to the ring-expanded product (128) on irradiation of the amine oxide (129). A practical synthesis of the chlorin macrocycle (130) has been developed by irradiation of the seco-compound (131) in tetrahydrofuran containing TFA and Hiinig s base this is thought to take place by photocyc-lization of the ISrr-tautomer (132), followed by elimination of methanol. Analogous approaches have been employed in the syntheses of ( )-bonellin dimethyl ester and 20-methyl- and 20-cyano-isobacteriochlorins. " ...

Especially, the eco-friendly ionic liquids have obtained extensive attention in organic synthesis with the merits provided as above. The ionic liquids as the unusual green solvents are applied extensively in various organic synthesis reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts reactions, oxidation reactions, reduction reactions, addition reactions, C-C formation reactions, nucleophilic substitution reactions, esterifications, rearrangements, hydroformylations, and nitration reactions [7-14]. Besides, the ionic liquids also have applications in the extraction separation, the electrochemistry, and preparation of nanostructured materials, the production of clean fuel, environmental science, and biocatalysis. This chapter would present in detail the application of the ionic liquids as the unusual green solvents (also as dual green solvent and catalyst) for the alkylation and acylation. 

A -Pyrroline-A xides (nitrones) derived finm tartaric acids feature in several syntheses of 132 and ent- 32. The first of two routes by Brandi and co-workers commenced with a dipolar cycloaddition between the nitrone 142 (R = tert-butyldiphenylsilyl, or TBDPS) and methylenecyclopropane (143), which afforded a mixture of spirocyclopropylisoxazolidine 144 and its bridgehead epimer (10 1) (Scheme 20, top line) (5i). When heated in xylene, 144 rearranged cleanly to enaminone 145 and the indolizidinone 146, the latter undergoing ready conversion via the tosylhydrazone into the target diol, ( + )-132. A subsequent synthesis with...
