- Efficient rearrangement of epoxides catalyzed by a mixed-valent iron trifluoroacetate [Fe3O(O2CCF3)6(H2O)3]
-
The mixed-valent oxo-centered triiron(III, III, II) trifluoroacetate complex [Fe2IIIFeIIO(O2CCF3)6(H2O)3] was prepared by reacting anhydrous iron(III) chloride with boiling trifluoroacetic acid under nitrogen. The non-hygroscopic and readily available mixed-valent triiron trifluoroacetate complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the regioselective rearrangement of epoxides. A number of carbonyl compounds formed via the rearrangement of epoxides could be obtained by a simple filtration of the reaction mixture through a short plug of silica gel.

- Scope and mechanism of intramolecular aziridination of cyclopent-3-enyl- methylamines to 1-azatricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptanes with lead tetraacetate
-
A series of seven cyclopent-3-en-1-ylmethylamines bearing one, two, or three methyl substituents at the C2, C3, C4, or Cα positions, including the unsubstituted parent, was accessed by ring-closing metatheses of α,α-diallylacetonitrile (or methallyl variants) and α,α-diallylacetone followed by hydride reductions or reductive amination, or by Curtius degradations of α,α-dimethyl- and 2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-enylacetic acids. Oxidation of the primary amines with Pb(OAc)4 in CH2Cl2, CHCl3 or benzene in the presence of K2CO3 effected efficient intramolecular aziridinations, in all cases except the α-methyl analogue (16), to form the corresponding 1-azatricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptanes, including the novel monoterpene analogues, 1-azatricyclene and the 2-azatricyclene enantiomers. The cumulative rate increases of aziridination reactions observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3 resulting from the presence of one or two methyl groups on the cyclopentene double bond, in comparison to the rate of the unsubstituted parent amine (1:17.5:>280), indicate a highly electrophilic intermediate as the nitrene donor and a symmetrical aziridine-like transition state. A mechanism is outlined in which the amine displaces an acetate ligand from Pb(OAc)4 to form a lead(IV) amide intermediate RNHPb(OAc)3 proposed as the actual aziridinating species.

-
Enantioselective syntheses of bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one, bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one and bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-one derivatives were accomplished by employing a chiron based approach, using intramolecular rhodium carbenoid C-H insertion, acid catalysed cyclisation of α-diazo ketone and intramolecular type II carbonyl ene reactions as key steps.

- Thermal isomerization of isoborneols and dehydroisoborneols to new chiral building blocks in terpenoid synthesis
-
The substituted isoborneols 1a-1g and 5,6-dehydroisoborneols 6a-6c, readily prepared in excellent yields from (+)-camphor and (+)-5,6-dehydrocamphor (2) by aryl, vinyl, or alkyl Grignard addition in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of CeCl3, were thermally isomerized in a flow reactor system under DGPTI (dynamic gas-phase thermo-isomerization) conditions at temperatures between 480 and 630° to give the enantiomerically pure monocyclic carbonyl compounds 7a-7d, 19a,b, 23, and 24. In all cases, product formation proceeded highly regio- as well as stereoselectively. The absolute configurations of the new stereogenic centers were determined by 1H-NOE measurements. DGPTI of the aryl substrates 1a-1d is proposed to effect initial cleavage of the weakest single bond in the molecule under formation of a diradical intermediate state followed by intramolecular H-abstraction to afford the acetophenone derivatives 7a-7d. This reaction path was further supported by a 2H-labeling study showing the OH group to be the exclusive H-source. In contrast, DGPTI of the vinyl substrates 1e and 6b allowed concerted retro-ene and oxy-Cope rearrangements. In the case of 5,6-dehydro-2-phenylisoborneol (6a), concomitant diradical and retro-Diels-Alder reaction pathways could be observed. In addition, a new route to (+)-rrans-a-campholanic acid (9) and (+)-trans-a-dihydrocampholytic acid (14) is presented by regioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and subsequent hydrolysis of 7c and 7d, respectively.
