Synthesis of Trisaccharides by Hetero-Diels–Alder Welding of Two Monosaccharide Units

2012

A new strategy for the synthesis of di- and trisaccharides based on the de novo synthesis of the linking saccharide unit is presented. In this strategy, functionalized monosaccharide building blocks already incorporating the glycosidic linkages are welded together using a metal-catalyzed hetero-Diels–Alder (HDA) reaction to generate a new monosaccharide unit between them. The highest yields and selectivities in the HDA reaction were obtained by using chiral Schiff base chromium complexes. Disaccharide products were accessible by reaction of Danishefsky's diene with acetyl- and benzyl-protected galactoside aldehydes. For the synthesis of trisaccharide products, acetyl-protected glucose or ga…

ChemInform Abstract: Cycloaddition Reactions with Vinyl Heterocycles

2010

Publisher Summary The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most common and elegant methods for the construction of six-membered rings. Although the number of Diels-Alder cycloadditions with open-chain and alicyclic dienes is very large, the number of examples with aromatic heterocyclic compounds is relatively small. The introduction of a vinyl group as a substituent onto a heterocycle increases the number of possible reactions. This new possibility, however attractive for synthetic purposes, is successful only with π-excessive five-membered heterocyclic derivatives with a few exceptions. The chapter discusses the reactions of vinyl heterocycles with carbodienophiles. The endocyclic and exo-en…

Understanding the high reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards nucleophilic carbenoid intermediates generated from carbene isocyanides

2015

The high reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards the carbenoid intermediate cis-IN, generated in situ by the addition of methyl isocyanide to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), has been investigated at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) computational level by using Molecular Electron-Density Theory (MEDT). This multicomponent (MC) reaction is a domino process that comprises two sequential reactions: (i) the formation of a nucleophilic carbenoid intermediate trans-IN; and (ii) the nucleophilic attack of cis-IN on the carbonyl compound, resulting in the formation of the final 2-iminofuran derivative. The present MEDT study establishes that the high nucleophilic character and the electronic structur…

Naphthothiete und ihre Anwendung in der Heterocyclen-Synthese

1995

Naphtothietes and Their Application to the Synthesis of Heterocycles The three isomeric naphthothietes 5, 11, and 16 were prepared according to the reaction sequences shown in Schemes 1–3. The final step was in each case a flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of the corresponding mercaptonaphthalenemethanol 4, 9, and 15, respectively. The thiete rings in 5 and 11 can be opened by gentle heating; the ring opening of the isomer 16 possesses a much higher activation barrier. A MNDO calculation of the ΔHf values of 5, 11, and 16 and the open isomers 5′, 11′, and 16′ provides an explanation for the different behavior. Photochemical ring opening represents a useful alternative. The reaction Schemes 4, 6,…

ChemInform Abstract: Cycloaddition Reactions of Benzothiete and Hetero Dienophiles for the Synthesis of Heterocyclic Systems.

1987

Abstract Benzothiete ( 1 ) undergoes cycloaddition reactions with hetero dienophiles with NN-, NO- or CO- double bonds, leading to six-membered heterocyclic ring systems of 2H-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazine ( 3 ), 4H-3,1,2-benzoxathiazine ( 4 ) and 4H-3,1-benzoxathiin.

Cycloaddition Reactions of 2H-Benzo[b]thiete and Thiocarbonyl Compounds

1997

2H-Benzo[b]thiete (1) reacts in the o-quinoid form 1′ with the cyclic trithiocarbonates 4 and 6a, b and with the thioketones 8, 10 and 12 in [8π + 2π] cycloaddition reactions to the spiro compounds 5, 7a, b, 9, 11a, b. Irrespective of the presence of CC double bonds, chemoselective and regioselective addition processes at the CS double bonds take place that lead to 4H-1,3-benzodithianes.

A new model for C–C bond formation processes derived from the Molecular Electron Density Theory in the study of the mechanism of [3+2] cycloaddition …

2016

Abstract The [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of the nitrile ylide (NY) with ethylene and with dicyanoethylene (DCE) have been studied using the Molecular Electron Density Theory through DFT calculations at the MPWB1K/6-31G(d) level. The analysis of the electronic structure of NY indicates that it presents a carbenoid structure with an sp 2 lone pair at the carbon atom. While the 32CA reaction with ethylene presents a low activation energy, 6.1 kcal mol −1 , the transition state structure associated with the 32CA reaction of NY with DCE is located 7.5 kcal mol −1 below the reagents, the reaction being completely regioselective. The topological analysis of the Electron Localisation Funct…

An MEDT study of the carbenoid-type [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of nitrile ylides with electron-deficient chiral oxazolidinones.

2016

The molecular mechanism of the carbenoid-type [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of a nitrile ylide (NY) with a non-chiral and a chiral oxazolidinone has been studied within Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the MPWB1K/6-31G(d) computational level. Topological analysis of the Electron Localisation Function (ELF) of the NY shows that it presents a carbenoid structure. The high nucleophilic character of the NY together with the electrophilic character of the non-chiral oxazolidinone favour a polar 32CA reaction with a very low activation energy, the reaction being completely meta/endo selective. A Bonding Evolution Theory (BET) study of the molecular mechanism makes it possible …
