Unlike methyl (2E)-3-[5-(azidomethyl)-2,2-diethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2 - methylprop-2-enoate which is stable on storage, its acyclic derivative, methyl (2E,4S,5S)-6-azido-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-(pent-3-yloxy) hex-2-enoate at 20 C undergoes unusual decomposition with formation of exo-methylidenepyrrolidine. Analogous transformation was also observed in the epoxide ring opening in methyl (2E)-2-methyl-4-[(S)-oxiran-2-yl]-4-(pent-3-yloxy)but-2-enoate and in the substitution reaction of ethyl 5,6-bis(methanesulfonyloxy)-2-methyl-4-(pent-3- yloxy)hex-2-enoate with azide ion. Opening of the oxirane ring in the former by the action of azide ion was accompanied by formation of oxazetidine derivative as a minor product. The major intramolecular cyclization products, 4-hydroxy- and 4-mehtanesulfonyloxypyrrolidines were converted into stable pyrrole derivatives via elimination of the leaving groups. The hydrogenation of methyl and ethyl (2E)-3-[5-(azidomethyl)-2,2-diethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2-methylprop-2- enoates over palladium catalyst afforded the expected reduction products.
