Isomerization of cyclic ethers having a carbonyl functional group: New entries into different heterocyclic compounds

Oxiranes (epoxides) and oxetanes having a carbonyl functional group are chemoselectively isomerized to different heterocyclic compounds via Lewis acid-promoted 1,6- and 1,7-intramolecular nucleophilic attacks of the carbonyl oxygen on the electron-deficient carbon neighboring the oxonium oxygen: for example, cyclic imides to bicyclic acetals, esters to bicyclic orthoesters, sec-amides to 4,5-dihydrooxazole or 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazines, and tert-amides to bicyclic acetals or azetidines. The intramolecular attack of a 1,5-positioned carbonyl oxygen predominantly results in a propagating-end isomerization polymerization. On the other hand, cyclic ethers having a 1,8- or farther positioned carbonyl group undergo conventional ring-opening polymerization. A tetrahydrofuran (oxolane) ring does not open, even with a 1,6-positioned carbonyl group.

Geminal Substituent Effects, 11. The Anomeric Effect in Orthoesters - The Concept of Geminal Pairwise Interactions for the Interpretation of Standard Enthalpies of Formation

New enthalpies of formation ΔH0f(g) are provided for the series of orthoesters 2a-2f, 3 and 4 from their enthalpies of combustion ΔH0c and their enthalpies of vaporization ΔH0vap or enthalpies of sublimation ΔH0sub.From these data and from literature data the following new thermochemical increments were calculated -1>: CH -106.4, C -103.7, and C -124.5.In addition the increment C -167.1 was calculated from literature data for ΔH0f(g) of the orthocarbonates 9a and 9b.The anomeric stabilization derived from these results and from previous results for acetals and ketals are reported in Table 3. - A new concept of additive structural increments for the quantitative analysis of the group increments of hydrocarbons, ethers, acetals, and ketals is proposed.It is shown that the increments for CH3, CH2, CH, and C groups with their different neighboring atoms (see Table 4) are determined by the number of hydrogen atoms in the group and by the number of pairwise geminal interactions between all atoms attached to the central carbon atom. - Using this procedure for orthoesters and orthocarbonates, deviations from additivity for the geminal interaction between oxygen atoms, i.e. the anomeric effect, are observed. - Keywords: Anomeric effect; Enthalpies of formation; Geminal substituents, energetic interaction of; Increments, thermochemical, of orthoesters; Group increments, interpretation of
