- Generation, electrocyclic ring opening, and unprecedented conversion of a 3-acylaminoazetinone into cis-3,4-disubstituted azetidinones
-
An attempt to synthesize the nucleus of cefaclor by insertion of an appropriately functionalized rhodium carbene into a β-lactam N-H bond leads instead to attack at sulfur, followed by fragmentation into a four-membered thietanone and a four-membered 3-acylaminoazetinone. The azetinone undergoes electrocyclic ring opening, with a calculated half-life of 11 s at 40°C, to a trans-disubstituted vinyl isocyanate, but can be trapped by saturated, unsaturated allylic and benzylic alcohols to form 3,4-disubstituted azetidinones in which the cis- isomer predominates.

- Regioselective oxygenations of s-trans dienes, silyl dienol ethers (SDEs), by triphenyl phosphite ozonide (TPPO) and its mechanistic study
-
The direct oxygenation of s-trans dienes, silyl dienol ethers (SDEs) 2, by triphenyl phosphite ozonide (TPPO) has been examined in detail. The regioselective oxygenation was found to give hydroperoxide 3, alcohol 4, ketone 5, dimer 6, and peroxy phosphate 7 with concomitant formation of triphenyl phosphate 8 and diphenyl trimethylsilyl phosphate 10. The formation of peroxy phosphate 7 was found for the first time in TPPO oxygenation reactions. The low temperature31P and1H NMR spectroscopic analyses proved the direct reaction of SDEs with TPPO without generation of singlet oxygen. The formation of the oxygenated products 3-7 is reasonably explained by the intervention of the zwitterion ZI, which can be formed by the nucleophilic attack of SDE to the central oxygen of the ozonide. The regioselective attack of SDE to the central oxygen of the ozonide was supported by the quantum chemical calculation (B3LYP/6-31G*).
