INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

Rawal Adviser Department of Chemistry AS TO MY PA R E N T S A C K N O W LE D G EM EN TS I wish to ex p ress my sincere appreciation to my adviser, P rofessor David J. Hart, for his g u id e n c e a n d co n c e rn th roug ho ut the re s e a rc h . His e n c o u ra g e m e n t a n d excitem ent for chemistry have been invaluable for me last few years. I express my gratitude to all of the present and past m em bers of the Dr. Hart group for their stimulating discussions of chemistry. I especially thank to Dr. Wu for his friendship and concerns about my whereabout. I would also thank to Drs. Chen and S ealey for their stimulating discussions in research and chemistry in general and also to Dr Lai for his humor and friendship. Next, I would like to acknowledge Mr. Carl Engleman and Dr. Chuck Cottrell for performing 2D NMR experiments and also to Dr David Chang for m ass spectral analysis. Finally, I would like to thank to my wife and son for their love and emotional support and especially to my brand new baby daughter who gives me a new perspective of life.

This ch ap te r will d esc rib e studies of th e synthesis of bicyclic keto n es and stereoselective Michael reactions via enam ine reactions with a.p-unsaturated thioesters and seleno esters. To provide the re a d e r with s o m e perspective, a brief background of bicyclic ketone synth esis via enam in e reactions, acid a n d b a s e ca talyzed c o n d e n s a tio n s, cycloaddition of oxyallyl cations, and stereoselective Michael reactions will be presented. 2. B a c k g ro u n d A. B icyclic K etone S yn th esis via Enam ine Reactions Since the initial report on acylation and alkylation reactions of carbonyl com pou nds via en a m in e s by Stork and coworkers, a wide variety of such reactions have b e e n repo rted . 1 The co urse of the reaction of the enam ine, for example alkylation, acylation and annulation, is very sensitive to the structure of reactants and to the experimental conditions such a s the solvent, the tem perature, and additives such a s tertiary a m in e s .2 -3 -4 The re aso n for the diversity of the behavior is that e n a m in e s are am bident nucleophiles. B e c a u s e of its binucleophilic nature, en am in es have b e e n u sed to construct C-C bonds consecutively. This type of the reaction h a s bee n u sed to prepare bicyclic k eto n es .5 Since this topic has been reviewed an d num erous 2 exam ples have a p p e are d in the literature, only those studies related to bicyclic ketone synthesis will be described. 2-Aminobicyclononanone 3 w a s prepared conveniently from acrolein and the enam ine of cyclohexanone by Stork and Lan desm an in 1956 (equation 1). o dioxane, hydroquinone ( 1) 3 (6 8 %) 1 About ten y e a rs later, Hickmott and coworkers reported the first gen e ral m ethod to construct bicyclic k eton es using reactions b etw een the morpholine enam ine of cyclohexanone (4) and oc,p-unsaturated acid chlorides .4 3 Thus, the reactions of enam ine 4 with acryloyl chloride (5) and cinnamoyl chloride (7) afforded bicyclic dione 8 a n d 9, respectively (equations 2 6 in 45% yield and 4-phenyl bicyclic diones and 3). Two different 4-phenyl bicyclic diones 8 an d 9 were isolated depending on the reaction conditions. O ne w a s an oil (dCo(CCU)= 1730, 1705 c m '1; bp 162-166 °C at 0.05 mm) isolated in 13% yield, and the other w as a solid (uCo(CCl 4 ) = 1 7 3 5 ,1 7 1 4 c m '1; mp 52 °C) isolated in 48% yield. A reaction mechanism which su gg ested why the reaction O (2) 4 6 (45%) (3) cold addition C6 H6, rt to 80 °C 8 (13%) hot addition C6 H6, 80 °C 4 9 (48%) might be stereoselective w as proposed. It w a s su g gested that the reaction might proceed via intial N-acylation of the ena m ine 4 followed by a [3.3]-sigmatropic re arra n g em en t to give keten e intermediate 11, conversion to another enamine, and finally C-acylation of the enam ine followed by a q u e o u s workup to give the bicyclic ketone 9 (S ch e m e I). Even though Hickmott proposed the reaction m echanism shown in S c h e m e 1, the stereochemistry of the isomers w a s not proven. The assig n m e n ts shown in equation 3 are b a s e d on studies perform ed a s part of this th esis research (vide infra). Schem e I.

The intermediate iminium salt 16 w a s directly treated with ethanedithiol to yield ketodithiane 17 so that the two carbonyl groups could b e easily differentiated (equation 5). n ethanedithiol, rt OAc ■ S ^ COCI OAc (5) N OAc 15 16 17 (1° %) Gravel an d Labelle have constructed bicyclic ketones by reacting the enam ines of cyclic pketo este rs with electrophilic olefins . 8 For example, y-alkylation-functionalization of enam in e 18 with methacrolein (19) provided bicyclic ketoester 20 in 48% yield (equation 6 ). The reaction w as generally slow and they rationalized this on the basis of allylic strain. dioxane, 70 °C, 9 days M e^Z^2 ^ c o 2Me Me0>c - j A j (6) ch3 19 1 8 2 0 (48%) Lawton and coworkers have studied the annulation reaction of enamine with electrophiles via consecutive alkylations or Michael additions .9 For example, treatm ent of ena m ine 1 with methyl a-(brom om ethyl)acrylate, derived in situ from dibrom oester 21 , provided the bicyclic 5 ketoester 24 (S chem e II). The reaction afforded the 3-endo ester 24 a s a sole product. This w as ac co un ted for by assum ing that the cyclohexene ring of the intermediate enam ine 22 w a s in a boatlike conform ation while the newly formed cyclo hexan one ring in 2 3 w a s in a chairlike c o n fo rm ation . This elim inated th e d e v e lo p e m e n t of th e s e v e r e interactio n b e tw e e n carbom ethoxy group at C(3) and hydrogen atom at C(7). It w as su g g ested that after protonation, both rings undergo the conformational ch a n ge to the more stable boat-chair conformer of the endo configuration. Schem e II.

Thus, the sulfoxide 25 w a s not an effective annulating reagent. However, the sulfone turned out to be an excellent annulating agent. For example, reaction of enam ine 1 with sulfone 30 provided bicyclic ketosulfone 31 in 84% yield without uncyclized product (equation 7). S chem e III.

For example, Shimizu and coworkers have prepared bicyclic k etones 83 and 94 by treating dichloroketone 79 with cyclopentadiene (8 8 ) in the p re s e n c e of AgCIC>4 (S ch e m e VI) . 2 4 Several years later, Narula applied the sam e methodology to get the bicyclic k eto n es from cy c lo h e x a d ie n e .2 5 For exam ple, treatm en t of dibrom oketone 85 and cyclohexa-1,3-diene bicyclo[3.2.2]nonenones 87 and 88 in 86 86 with diiron nonacarbonyl in b e n z e n e afforded % overall yield (equation 22).

Since the sy nthesis of substituted cyclooctane derivatives is not generally a s e a s y that of cyclohexane derivatives, this m ethod is som ew hat limited.

D ia s te re o s e le c tiv e M ich ael R eaction Even though the Michael reaction is o n e ot the most popular C-C bond forming reactions, it h a s b e e n known for som e time that the reaction betw een ketone enolate equivalents and a,[iunsaturated ester derivatives is not generally steroselective. However, reactive Michael acceptors such a s nitroolefins show high stereoselectivity. Risaliti 31 and Kuehne 32 have published a series of p a p e rs which prove that Michael reactions of en a m in e s derived from cyclic keto n es with nitroolefins are kinetically controlled. For exam ple, reaction of morpholine e n a m in e 4 with nitroolefin 105 afforded a 95:5 ratio of anti and syn d iastereom ers 106 and 107 in 80% overall yield (equation 27).

Later, they dem onstrated that a,(i-unsaturated orthoesters and thioesters react with silyl enol ethers in the p re sence of Lewis acid. For example, treatment of thioester 111 with silyl enol ether 112 in the p re se n c e of a Lewis acid afforded a diasteromeric mixture of 113 and 112 in a ratio of 87:13, respectively (equation 29).

Results and Discussion The re searc h described in this section w a s conducted in re s p o n s e to an observation recorded by Chin-Shan Lai during the course of his work on the ax ane sesquiterpenoids. Lai had determ ined that the pyrrolidine-mediated intramolecular conjugate addition of keto e s te r 127 shown in equation 33 proceeded with almost complete stereocontrol at C (1 and Cp. To determine whether the stereochemistry was a c o n se q u en ce of the intramolecularity of the reaction, or simply a property of enam ine-unsaturated es te r conjugate addition, Lai examined the reaction betw een the pyrrolidine enam ine of cyclohexanone and ethyl crotonate. This en am ine-unsaturated ester pair, however, did not react under mild reaction conditions com parable to those used in equation 33 and thus, it w a s not possible to make the desired stereochemical comparison. It w as decided that a thioester would be a better electrophile than ester, so Lai next exam ined the reaction of en am in e 1 with oc,p-unsaturated thioester 129. A reaction occured u nd er mild conditions and it w a s d eterm ined that the product w a s a mixture of 13 a n d 14 in 24% yield (equation 34). Although the yield w as low and the product stereochem istry w a s not proven, the relationship between this observation and the Hickmott reaction (equation 4) w as obvious.

The following discussion will a d d r e s s the first two issu es in som e detail and provide so m e commentary on the third issue.

It w as eventually found that treatment of thioester 129 with enam ine 1 in b en z en e at room tem perature afforded a mixture of bicyclic diones 13 and 14 in a 95:5 ratio, respectively, in 66% overall yield. Under these conditions Michael adduct 144 w a s also isolated in 19% yield (equation 10). Interestingly, the major product of the reaction had stereochemistry at C4 opposite to that of the major product obtained in the Hickmott reaction (equation 6 ).4a Isomers 13 and 14 could be distinguished by differences in the chemical shift of the methyl group signals in their 1H NMR spectra. T hese signals a p p e are d a s doublets (J = 6 . 8 Hz) at 1.19 ppm in 13 and 1.07 ppm in 14. 21 COSPh SPh b en z e n e , rt 129 13 (61%) (37) 144 (19%) 14 (5%) It w as next decided to determine the stereochemical assignm ent at C-4. The assignm ent w a s b a s e d on the following reaction s e q u e n c e (S ch e m e VIII). Dione 13 w a s brom inated with p h e n y ltrim e th y la m m o n iu m trib ro m id e 6 ' 4 1 in an h ydro us tetrahydrofuran at 0 ° C to give bromodione 145 in 73% yield. It had b ee n shown that bromination of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one (147) gives the 3p-brom oketone 148 b e c a u s e of the p re s e n c e of a sev e re Br-H 7 a nonbonding interaction of the chair-chair conformer of bromoketone 149 (equation 38) 42 Thus, the structure of a-b rom oketon e 145 w as tentatively assign ed a s shown in the S c h e m e VIII. In addition, H(3) a p p e a re d a s a doublet at 4.65 ppm with a coupling co nstant of 11.8 Hz, in support of the assignm ent. Treatment of bromodiketone 145 with lithium bromide and lithium carbonate in N,Ndimethylformamide at 100 °C g av e crystalline en ed io n e 146 in quantitative yield. Catalytic hy d ro g e n atio n of en e d io n e 146 over palladium on ch a rco a l returned bicyclic dione 13 in quantitative yield. It w as a ssu m ed that the hydrogenation took place from the less hindered p-face of the double bond in 146. Of course, it w as neccesa ry to show that 14 also gave 13 upon subjection to this reaction seq u e n ce and that w as eventually done (vide infra). PhN*Me3 Br3' (38) THF 147 148 14 9 (incorrect) Though the chemical yield of the reaction was not so bad, it w as realized that so m e of the Michael acceptor w as being lost through formation of 144. Thus, experim ents using e x c e s s 129 were performed. W hen 1.3 equivalent of 129 were u sed , the com bined yield of d io n es did improve to 74%, but this w a s not too significant. Since thiophenoxide g eneratio n is also responsible for lost of 129, the u s e of dichloromethane a s a thiophenoxide trap w a s investigated. 22 Schem e VIII. Determination of the Stereochem istry of Bicyclic Dione 13 1 4 6(100% ) (a) PhN+Me 3 Br3- (b) LiBr, Li2 C 0 3 (c) H2, Pd/C Thus, n ea t thioester 129 w as slowly a d d e d by syringe pum p to a solution of en am ine 1 in b e n z e n e containing 1 equivalent of dichloromethane. Formation of 144 w as still a problem. We next turned our attention to the corresponding a,|3-unsaturated s e le n o e ste r 133 a s we expected it would be more reactive than its sulfur anolog. When the s a m e reaction condition w as u s e d for selen o e ste r 133, the result w as som ewhat disappointing. For example, treatment of s e le n o e s te r 133 with enam ine 1 in b en z e n e afforded a 43% yield of diones 13 and 14 in a ratio of 25:75, respectively. Even though the reaction yield and the diastereoselectivity w ere not satisfactory, a significant difference from the reaction of thioesters could be easily recognized. Specifically, the major product w as 14, and not 13. E ncouraged by this result we investigated different reaction conditions. We hoped that dichloromethane might accelerate the reaction by stabilizing a possible polar transition state. Thus, treatment of s e len o e ste r 133 with enam ine 1 at -15 °C in dichloromethane afforded diastereomerically pure dione 14 in 84% yield and selenides 151 and 152 in 62% and 14% yields, respectively, following an a q u e o u s workup. To search for an intermediate, the reaction mixture w as diluted with hot dry ethyl ac etate before hydrolysis to 23 Me COSePh + P hSeC htC I + (PhSe) 2 CH2 (39) 133 14 150 (84%) 151 (51%) 152 (28%) get a white solid in 84% yield. Spectral analysis confirmed that this material w a s iminum salt 150. A silver nitrate test w as positive indicating that chloride w as a counter ion of the iminum salt. The iminium salt 150 w as easily hydrolyzed with wet silica gel in dichloromethane to give 14 in 85% yield. Having diasteroisom er 14 at hand, it w as subjected to the aforementioned halogenationdehyd ro halog en ation-h ydrogenation sequence. Thus, trea tm e n t of d io n e 1 4 with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran at 0 °C afforded bromodione 153 in quantitative yield. The structure of 4 p -b ro m o k e to n e 153 w a s assig n ed a s shown in the S c h e m e IX b a s e d on the p re s e n c e of nonbonding interaction betw e en Br and H(7ra) in 4abromoketone. In addition, a coupling constant (J = 4 Hz) betw een H(3) and H(4) supported the structural assignm ent. Treatment of bromoketone 153 with lithium bromide and lithium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide at 100 °C g ave crystalline en edione 146 in 85% yield and catalytic hydrogenation of the ened io n e 146 over palladium on charcoal, of c o u se , g ave dione 13 in quantitative yield. Before continuing with a d iscu ssion of the s c o p e and limitation of this reaction, a conformational analysis of diones 13 and 14 will be presented. A spin-off of this analysis is further s u p p o rt for th e s te re o c h e m ic a l a s s i g n m e n t s up to now b a s e d o n th e brom inationdehydrohalogenation-reduction s e q u e n c e . 24 S c h e m e IX.

The 1H NMR signals of the diones w ere first established by decoupling experiments and then later COSY experiments. The conformational p referen ces of diones 13 and 14 w ere determined by the aid of 1D and 2D 1H NMR spectroscopy. The COSY spectrum of 4 a-iso m er 13 show ed long range W-couplings betw een H( 1 ) and H(5), H(1) and H(3P). However, 4 [H som er 14 did not show W-coupling betw een H(1) and H(3[i). The lack of Wcoupling can be rationalized if the cyclohexanone ring containing the methyl substituent adopts a boat conformation. Other convincing evidence for a boat-chair conformation for 14 co m e s from NOE experiments. For the 4p-isomer (14), a large NOE was observed at H(3oc) upon irradiation of methyl group at C(4). This indicates the proximity of H(3ra) and methyl group and can be explained only if the cyclohexanone ring containing the methyl group adopts a boat conformation. For the 4a-isom er (13), a large NOE w as also observed at H(3a) upon irradiation of methyl group at C(4). 25 Thus, 4 a-iso m er 13 favors a chair-chair conformer.

Thus, treatment of thioester 134 with enam ine 1 g av e a 32% yield of diones 154 and 155 in a 80:20 ratio, respectively, a n d 4 5% of Michael adduct 156 (equation 42). The yield and stereochemistry of the reaction w as not improved by changing the reaction conditions. However, selenoester 135 smoothly reacted with enam ine 1 at -15 °C to yield iminium salt 157 in 55% yield and dione 155 in 15% yield along with selenides 151 (53%) and 152 (8 %) (equation 43). O nce again, thio ester an d s e le n o e s te r g a v e the opposite stereoisom ers a s major product. Iminium salt 157 could be hydrolyzed to dione 155 in 80% yield using wet silica gel in dichloromethane. The stereochem ical assignm ent at C(4) of dione 154 w a s b a s e d on the a p p e a ra n c e ot H(3oc) and H(3[3) a s two doublets ot doublets at 8 2.34 and 8 2.86, respectively. The coupling constant betw een H(3rx) and H(4) w a s 12.2 Hz, indicating a trans diaxial relationship betw een H(3«) and H(4). The coupling constant between H(3fi) and H(4) w as 7.3 Hz, which w as relatively large tor an axial-equatorial coupling. This may be b e c a u s e of the flattened structure of the cyclohexanone ring. The stereochemistry of dione 155 w as also b a s e d on the values of coupling co nstants for H(3(3) and H(3«) which ap pe are d a s two doublets of doublets at 8 2.08 and 2.56, respectively. The coupling constant b etw een H(3(i) and H(4) w a s 12.1 Hz, indicating a trans diaxial relationship betw een th e s e protons. The coupling betw een H(3oc) and H(4) w as 5.6 Hz which is indicating an axial-equatorial coupling. These data could once again be explained by the two different conformations adopted by diones 154 and 155. Thus, 4(i-substituted dione 155 27 actually a d o p ts a boat-chair conform ation, but 4 a -su b s titu te d dione 1 5 5 principally a d o p t s a chairchair conformation at room te m p e ra tu re.

Since it requires enamine 18 4 a s an intermediate, it w a s thought that treatm ent of thioester 174 with pyrrolidine might produce iminium salt 185. In the event, treatment of 174 with pyrrolidine and a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid failed to give 1 8 5 or the d esire d diketone (equation 63). This observation s u g g e s ts that the annulation d o e s not proceed via the conjugate addition-acylation s e q u e n c e . The Diels-Alder m echa nism (S ch e m e XI) requires 184 and 186 a s interm ediates. Although cycloadditions betw een en am ines and aldehydes and ketones are known, no evidence for the formation of 186 could be g athered and, of course, the experiment described in equation 63 also su ggests that this m ech a n sm is not operating. Me Mo H H- N Me COSPh COSPh CgHg, p-TsOH, A H 1 74 SPh (63) 185 The m echanism shown in S ch em e XII requires initial carbon-acyl carbon bond formation, while the other three mechanistic suggestions require carbon-alkyl carbon bond formation. Thus, it w a s re a s o n e d that enam ine 192 should give 194 if the initial event w a s acylation (S chem e XII), or 193 if the initial carbon carbon bond formation involved alkylation (other S ch em es). In the event, en am in e 192 reacted with thioester 129 to give only dione 193 in 35% yield along with Michael adduct 144 in 42% yield. This result s u g g e s ts that the m echanism depicted in S chem e XII is not opperating. This brings us to the m echnism shown in S c h e m e XIII.

First, treatm ent of thioester 174 with ethanol und er the s a m e reaction conditions did not give any ketoester 195 (equation 66 ). Another possible source of 195 is the ethanolysis of dione 14, but treatm ent of dione 14 with ethanol under the s a m e conditions also did not give any keto ester 195 (equation 67).

This pathway (S ch em e XIII) predicts that iminium ion 185 and the desired diketone 14 should be the major stereoisom eric products. This is the c a s e for u nsatu ra te d s e le n o e s te r su b strates, but not for unsaturated thiosters. Why this is so remains an open question. In addition, es te r 195 formed in the p re su m e d ketene trap experim ents (equattion 65 and 68 ) w a s obtained a s a 2:1 mixture of diastereom ers. It is puzzling that clean stereochemistry w as not obtained if S ch em e XIII is the sole mechanistic pathway. The N-acylation-rearrangement-acylation s e q u e n c e also su g g ests that a cisolefin, for example 196,45 should afford a different stereochem ical result, but this w as not the ca se. For example, treatment of 1 with 196 gave only 13 in 35% yield. There are several ways in which this result ca n be explained.

The objective of this re searc h w a s to explore and develop methodology to construct m eta disubstituted cyclohexenes and exo cycloadducts which are generally difficult to obtain via normal Diels-Alder reactions. To provide the reader with background for th e s e studies, a s p e c ts of thermal and Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions and related reactions will be reviewed. 2. B ackground A. T h erm al D iels-A ld er R eactions A few ways are known to construct substituted cyclohexene derivatives. O ne of the most popular m ethods is the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction.1 The Diels-Alder reaction h a s been o ne of the most fundamental and useful tools in organic synthesis since its discovery. Its wide s p read utility is attributed not only to its ability to construct substituted cyclohexenes in one step, but also to its remarkably high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Another re a s o n for the popularity of the Diels-Alder reaction is that a large variety of dien es and dienophiles bearing various functional groups a s substituents are readily available. 85 86 The reaction betw een a conjugated 1,3-diene and an olefinic or acetylenic dienophile, which is known a s Diels-Alder reaction, forms a substituted six-m em bered ring a s a 1:1 adduct (equation 11). In the reaction two new a-b o n d s are formed at the e x p e n se of two 7t-bonds. The reaction generally p ro c eed s easily with gentle warming in a suitable solvent, although in som e c a s e s with unreactive dienes or dienophiles more vigorous conditions may be necessary. Since a few Diels-Alder reactions a re reversible, so m e cycloadducts formed from the cycloaddition reaction dissociate into their com po nents at high tem perature. Use of o ne co m ponent in e x c e s s som etim es overcom es this problem. The reactivity of a diene d e p e n d s on several structural features. First, it is essential that the conjugated diene be able to adopt a cis conformation. That is, its conjugated double bonds must be situated cis coplanar. Acyclic conjugated dien es exist in a conformational equilibrium betw een cisoid and transoid forms. Only the cisoid conformer can participate in the reaction. 1d-1e If the c o n ju g ate d dou ble bond c a n not adopt the cisoid conformation u n d e r the reaction conditions, the cycloaddition reaction will not take place. The conformational equilibrium is very sensitive to the size and the position attached of substituents on the diene. T rans- 1 -substituted dienes are much more reactive than their cis isomers. This is bec au se the distance between the nearest hydrogen atoms at Ci and C 4 is only a little less than the sum of their van d er W aals radii. Trans-1-substituted dienes do not experience steric hindrance in the cisoid conformer. However, in cis-1-substituted dienes, the distance b etw een the substituent and the n ea rest hydrogen atom at C 4 is considerably smaller than the sum of the van der Waals radii and suffers s ev e re steric hindrance in the cis conformation. Therefore, the equilibrium is shifted far to the transoid conformer. For example, the reaction of c/s-piperylene (202) with maleic anhydride (200) gives only a 4 % yield of the cycloadduct 2 0 3 (equation 71). In the contrast, frans-piperylene (199) gives cycloadduct 201 in a quantitative yield (equation 70).2 ’3 As the size of the substituents bec o m e more bulky, the equilibrium is shifted further in the favor of transoid conformer. 87 1 9 9 (transoid) 202 (transoid) 1 9 9 (cisoid) 202 (cisoid) 2 0 3 (4 % ) In contrast to 1-substituted dienes, increase in the size of a substituent at the 2-position disp lace s the conformational equilibrium to the cisoid conform er for the s a m e r e a s o n .4 2,3Disubstituted dienes c a n accom od ate the planar cisoid conformation u nless the substituents are too big. So, 2 ,3 -d im e th y lb u tad ien e re a c ts rapidly with maleic anhydride, but 2,3-di-tbutylbutadiene d o e s not b e c a u s e of the lack of the coplanarity .5 Cyclic dienes are generally more reactive th an their acyclic co u n te rp a rts b e c a u s e they are co n stra in e d in a p lan ar cisoid conformation. However, a s the size of the ring increases the reactivity starts to d e c r e a s e b e c a u s e the double bonds can no longer adopt the n ecessary coplanar configuration .6 A se c o n d factor determining the reactivity of d ien es and dienophiles is the nature of s u b s titu e n ts . Alder stu d ie d the influence of activating s u b s titu e n ts in the d i e n e s a n d d ie n o p h ile s . 7 He o b serv ed that the reaction rate is generally in creased by electron donating g rou ps on the dienes, and d e c r e a s e d by electron withdrawing substituents. In contrast to the diene substituents effects, electron withdrawing groups on the dienophiles increase the reaction rate of Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Stereochemical studies conducted by Alder and Stein lead to two very important empirical rules about the stereochem ical outcome. T h ese are the cis principle and the endo addition rule .8 According to the cis principle, the steric a rran g e m e n t of the su b stituents in the dien e and dienophile is retained in the cycloadducts. That is, the reaction takes place by a cis addition. Thus, 88 the reaction of dimethyl m aleate 2 0 6 with cyclopentadiene (82) yielded the cis adducts 207 and 208, and dimethyl fum arate 204 with 82 gave the trans adduct 205 (equation 72).9 | COjMe COjjM© COzMe 82 205 2 07 (75:25) 2 08 The cis principle applies also to substituents in the diene com ponent. Diels-Alder reaction of maleic anhydride (200) with tra n s,tra n s-1 ,4-diphenyl-butadiene 209 g av e the cycloadducts 210 an d 211 in which two phenyl substituents were cis to each other (equation 73). C is,trans- 1 - methyl-4-phenyl-1,3-butadiene 212 gav e cycloadduct 213 with a trans relationship betw een two substituents (equation 74). This widely applicable principle is explained by the sy nchronous formation of the bonds betw een the two com ponents in a o ne step reaction. o (73) 209 210 (endo) 211 (exo) o (74) Mo 212 21 3 Even though the cis principle defines the position of the substituents in cycloadducts, their relative spatial positions are still not clearly defined b e c a u s e they d e p e n d on the relative orientation of the reactants during the reaction. W hen a symmetrical cyclic diene reacts with a dienophile containing even o n e substituent, two Diels-Alder adducts ca n be formed, that is, endo (216) and exo (217) isomers. The endo product is formed from an orientation in which the diene a n d dienophile approach each other to overlap their pi bonds effectively (s e e equation 75). One h a s to take into account not only th ose rt-bonds which actually participate in the cycloaddition reaction, but also the n-bonds of the activating grou ps in th e dienophile. For exam ple, it is possible to get a mixture of en d o a n d exo isom ers w hen cyclic dien es react with cyclic 1: 1 dienophiles (equations 75 and 76). However, the endo adduct is usually the major product. The thermodynamically more stable exo adduct is obtained in a substantially lower yield . o o (75) 2 1 4 (endo) o (76) o o 2 1 5 (exo) Although the Diels-Alder reaction of the cyclic dienes and dienopiles generally obey the en d o rule, there are a few exceptions . 1 0 For example, the cycloaddition reaction betw een furan (216) and maleic anhydride (200) affords a mixture of exo (217) a n d en d o (218) isom ers at room tem perature, but at higher tem p e ra tu re the exo isom er (217) is o btained exclusively (equation 77). Thus, the Diels-Alder reaction is reversible such that the initially formed endo adduct (218) isomerizes to the thermodynamically m ore stable exo isom er (217). Very recently, Lee and Herndon show ed that the initial endo-addition undergo 500 times faster than the e x o addition . 1 1 The Diels-Alder reaction of cyclic dienophiles with trans,trans- 1,4-disubstituted d ien es usually follows the e nd o rule a s h a s already b e e n shown in equation 2 . The e n do rule is not always followed in reactions of cyclic dienes with acyclic mono- and disubstituted dienophiles, and acyclic dien es with acyclic dienophiles. It is well known that endo/exo ratios are sensitive to the tem perature. In general, the ratio betw een endo and exo isom ers ca n be increased by lowering reaction tem peratures. Another essential characteristic of the Diels-Alder reaction is regioselectivity. A reaction b e tw e e n the unsym m etrical d ie n e 2 1 9 and dienophile 2 2 0 , in principle, could yield equal a m o u n ts of two p o ssible regioisom ers 221 and 2 2 2 . However, in most c a s e s o n e of the regioisom ers is preferentially formed. Thus, the reaction of 1-substituted d ie n e s 2 1 9 with electron-poor dienophiles 2 2 0 afford the "ortho" cycloadducts 221 predominantly (Table 1).1b For example, trans-] -phenyl-1,3-butadiene reacted with acrolein to give a single regioisomer in 73% yield (entry 5 Table 1). 2-S ubstituted 1 ,3 -bu tad ien es 2 2 3 react with unsym m etrical electron-poor dienophiles 2 2 0 to give "para" isom ers 224 a s major products (Table 2).1e Meta isom ers 225 are once again only minor products. It is clear that the orientation of substituents in the cycloadducts d e p e n d s upon the position of the substituents in the diene com ponents. Steric and electronic factors of the substituents do not s e e m to effect orientation in the cycloadducts. Thus, both electron-donating and electron-attracting substituents on the d ien es lead to the s a m e orientation with a given dienophile. Regioselectivity in the cycloaddition reaction of 2 -substituted dienes is som ew hat depe n d en t on the chemical nature of the substituent in the dienophile, but the effect d o es not s e e m to be significant . 113 91 T a b l e 1.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed D iels-A lder Reactions Lewis acids are commonly u s e d a s catalysts in Diels-Alder reactions. They frequently provide milder reaction conditions and improve both regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The remarkable acceleration of Diels-Alder cycloadditions by Lewis acid catalysis w a s first reported by Y ates an d E ato n . 1 2 From extrapolation of a rate curve, it w a s estim ated that the reaction of a n th ra cen e (226) and maleic anhydride (200) require 4800 h to go to 95% completion at room tem perature in dichloromethane. But, upon the addition of o ne mole of aluminum trichloride, the reaction w a s co m pleted in 1.5 min (equation 78). It w as su b seq u e n tly found by Fray and Robinson that catalysts of the Friedel-Crafts type, for example tin(IV) chloride, boron trifluoride, iron(lll) chloride, and titanium(IV) chloride, w ere effective even with m onoactivated dienophiles such a s acrolein, methyl vinyl ketone, and acrylic acid . 13 o AICI3 (78) CH 2 CI2 , rt 226 200 227 (95%) A few years later, Lutz and Bailey o bserved that Lewis acids not only ac celerated the reaction, but also improved regiochemistry . 1 4 When isoprene (228) reacted with acrolein (2) in refluxing toluene, two cycloadducts, 229 and 230, were obtained in a 59:41 ratio, respectively. The reaction catalyzed by tin tetrachloride in b e n z e n e at room tem perature afforded 22 9 and 230 in a 96:4 ratio, respectively (equation 79). o „ Me u 228 toluene, 100 °C, no catalyst b enzen e, 25 °C, SnCI 4 » 5 Fl2 0 59:41 96:4 (79) 93 Inukai and Kojima reported the effect of Lewis acid catalysis on endo-exo stereoselectivity (Table 3 ) . 1 5 They found that Lewis acids ac celerate the reaction rate a n d also e n h a n c e the proportion of the endo adducts. Thus, treatment of methyl acrylate with cyclopentadiene (82) in b e n z e n e un der reflux afforded cycloadducts 232 and 233 in a 80:20 ratio, respectively (entry 1 in Table 3). The Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by aluminum chloride in b en z e n e at 30 °C afforded cycloadducts 232 and 2 33 in a ratio of 95:5, respectively (entry 2 in Table 3). S a u e r an d Kredel reported similar results with cy clo pen tad ien e a n d methyl acrylate in d ich lo ro m eth an e . 1 6 In addition, they observ ed that the acceleration is considerable, and the reaction tem perature can be lowered by more than 100 °C with no d e c re a s e in reaction rate.

This can som etim es be overcom e by employing Lewis acid cata lysts. However, it is very difficult to obtain m eta-su b stitu ted c y c lo a d d u cts a n d exocycloadducts b e c a u s e of the inherent ortho-para selectivities and endo stereoselectivity of the 94 Diels-Alder reaction. In o rd e r to resolve th e s e problem s, sev e ral a p p r o a c h e s h av e b e e n developed. Fundamentally, to get a meta substituted cyclohexene derivative, the regioselectivity inherent to the Diels-Alder reaction h as to be reversed. O ne way to accomplish this reversal of regiochemistry involves the u s e doubly activated dienes or dienophiles for the cycloadditions. It is well known that electron donating substituents at dienes control the regiochemistry of the cycloadducts. However, if th ere are two electron donating substituents on the diene, the regiochemical control of the reaction might be ex p e cted to d e p e n d on their relative electron donating abilities. Doubly activated dien es in which the relative activating abilities of the substituents are quite different, may produce single cycloadduct in which su bseq u e n t removal of on e activating group gives a m eta substituted cyclohexene. For exam ple, the cycloaddition reaction betw een diene 234 and dienophile 220 always yields 237 a s a minor product (S chem e XV). On the contrary, diene 2 3 5 containing two activating groups, would give cycloadduct 236 a s the major product if EDG 2 is the dominant substituent. If the EDG 2 is later easily removed, the meta-substituted cycloadduct 237 ca n be obtained. Schem e XV.

C ohen a n d cow orkers c h o s e diene 2 3 8 a s a starting point b e c a u s e Evans and coworkers had reported that 238 w a s a useful d ie n e . 1 7 When they treated 238 with methyl acrylate (239), cycloadducts 240 and 241 w ere obtained in a 1:1 ratio, respectively (equation 80). The regioselectivity w a s a s e x p e c te d . 1 8 Surprisingly, doubly activated 1 ,3-diene 242 reacted with methyl acrylate (239) to aftord the single regioisomeric cycloadduct 243 in 66% yield (equation 81). Thus, the sulfur substituent controlled the regio SPh SPh SPh (80) 238 239 240 SPh 1:1 (90%) 241 SPh ( 81 ) 242 2 4 3(66%) 239 chemistry of the cycloaddition. The desulfurization of the cycloadduct offers an approach to m eta-substituted cyclohexenes. Trosl and coworkers investigated the Diels-Alder reaction of 2,3-disubstituted diene 244 with unsym m etrical dienophiles 2 4 5 . 19 For example, the cycloaddition reaction of 2 4 4 with methacrolein yielded 1 ,2,4-trisubstituted adduct 246 and 1 ,2,5-trisubstituted adduct 2 4 7 in a 13:1 ratio, respectively (see entry 1 in Table 4). Once again, the sulfur substituent controls the regiochemistry of the cycloaddition and one can get the m eta-subsituted cyclohexene derivative by the desulfurization of the cycloadducts. O n e ca n also u s e the doubly activated dienophiles to re v e rs e the regiochemistry of cycloaddition reactions. O nce again, if there are two electron withdrawing substituents on the dienophile, the regiochemical control of the reaction might be e x p e c te d to d e p e n d on their relative electron attracting ability. Doubly activated dienophiles w hose relative activating ability of the substituents is quite different will give ortho-substituted or para-substituted cyclohexenes a s 96 Table 4.

If the prevailing activating groups are easily removable or can be transformed to o th e r functional groups, the p ro c e s s ac co m p lishes the construction of a m eta substituted cyclohexene. For example, the cycloaddition reaction betw een 234 and 220 always gives 248 a s a minor product (S ch e m e XVI). On the contrary, dienophile 2 49 containing two activating groups, would give cycloadduct 25 0 a s a major product if EWG 2 is the controlling substituent. Removal of EWG 2 would then give the meta-substituted cycloadduct 248 a s a major product. As a specific example of this strategy, Danishefsky and coworkers described the DielsAlder reaction ot p-nitro-acrylate 252 with several electron-rich dienes.20 For example, treatment of dienophile 252 with diene 251 in b e n z e n e at room tem perature g av e only cycloadduct 254.

Treatment of 254 with a q u e o u s sulfuric acid followed by DBU at room tem perature afforded a 3-carbomethoxy-3-cyclohexenone 256 in 97 99% yield. This p ro c e ss accom plished the equivalent of a cycloaddition betw een a diene 251 and methyl propiolate with m eta regioselectivity. S ch em e XVI.

Thus, the formyl group of 257 controls regioselectivity better than the carbomethoxy group. The regiochemical relationship 98 betw e en the R group and carbom ethoxy group in cycloadducts 259 and 261 is meta. Since the formyl group is easily converted into a hydrogen, a methyl group, or other substituents, the net result is the reversal ot the regiochemistry, that would be obtained using a simple acrylate.

A cycloaddition reaction b etw een diene 2 8 6 and a ,p -u n s a tu ra te d e s te r 288 w as to be the initial critical step in a synthesis of the ste m o n a alkaloid stenine. In the event, Cheng-Yi C hen found that the desired reaction failed under thermal conditions and the dienophile 288 w a s incom patable with Lewis acid catalysts. C hen re a s o n e d that a thioester should be a better electron withdrawing group than an ester, and thus studied the reaction of 286 with a.p -u n s a tu ra te d thioester 2 8 7 .27 In fact, this reaction took place in 43% yield without acid catalysis. C hen showed that thioester 129 also gave cycloadducts with 286. T h e s e results were encouraging and it w a s decided to further explore this initial observation with the following goals: (1) to explore the s c o p e a n d the limitation of the p ro c e s s by varying the diene, the dienophile, a n d examining Lewis acid catalysts (2) to extend the p ro c e s s to cx,p-unsaturated selen o e ste rs and (3) to develop synthons for reverse polarity dienophiles.

Even though there are m any known dienophiles, we w ere surprised to find only o n e report about Diels-Alder reactions of a , p - u n s a t u r a t e d thioesters. In this example, oxidation of furan 291 with pyridinium chlorochrom ate at room t e m p e ra tu re g av e the intram olecular Diels-Alder add u c t 293 in 4 0 % yield (equation 88), presum ably via thioester interm ediate 2 9 2 .29 The intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a,p u n satu ra te d thioester Z-295 with cyclopentadiene (82) w a s also reported. Thus, oxidation of furan 294 with two equivalents of pyridinium chlorochromate at room tem perature for 2 h gave thioester Z-295 which isomerize to E-295 if longer reaction time w as u sed . Treatment of Z-295 with cyclopentadiene (82) afforded cycloadducts 296 and 297 in a ratio of 6:1, respectively, in 85% yield (Scheme XIX). 103 S c h e m e XIX.

In initial studies, w e investigated the relative reactivity of a ,p -u n s a tu ra te d esters, thioesters, and se le n o e s te rs with cyclopentadiene (82) (Table 7). W hen 1 equivalent of cyclopentadiene (82) w a s reacted with 10 equivalents of thioester 129 and 10 equivalents of methyl crotonate (231) at 80 °C in a bom b tube, the reaction gave cycloadducts 300 an d 301 in a ratio of 10:1, respectively, b a se d on 1H NMR integration (entry 1 in Table 7). S elen o este r 133 gave identical results in a competition reaction with ester 231 (entry 2 in Table 7). The reactivity difference of fumaric acid derivatives w as also investigated with diene 82. For exam ple, treatm ent of 1 equivalent of cyclopentadiene (82) with 10 equivalents of dimethyl fum arate (204) and 10 equivalents of thioester 29 8 in dichlorom ethane at room tem perature g av e cycloadducts 303 and 195 in a 30:1 ratio, respectively (entry 3 in Table 7). When the sa m e competition reaction w a s performed for s elen o e ste r 299, only cycloadducts 304 were obtained a n d cycloadduct 195 w as not d etec ted in the 1H NMR spectrum of crude product (entry 4 in Table 7). Although o ,p -u nsatu rated thioesters and sele n o e s te rs were more reactive dienophiles than their oxygen analogs, the poor stereoselectivity and regioselectivity had to b e overcom e if 104 th e s e reactions w ere to be useful in the organic synthesis. In an attempt to improve selectivity, Lewis acid catalysis w as examined alongside thermal reactions without catalysis. Thus, treatment of thioester 129 with isoprene (228) at 150 °C in a sea le d tube g ave a 3:2 ratio of cycloadducts 305 and 306, respectively, in 84% overall yield (entry 1 in Table 8). It w as eventually found that t r e a tm e n t of th io e s te r 1 2 9 with ethylalum inium dichloride at -23 ° C in a n h y d r o u s dichlorom ethane followed by the addition of iso prene (228) at room tem peratu re afforded a single product 3 0 5 in 8 0% yield (entry 2 in Table 8).

However, treatm ent of thioester 138 with ethylaluminium dichloride at -23 °C followed by the addition of dien e 228 g a v e a 80:20 ratio of cycloaddu cts 3 0 9 and 3 1 0 , respectively, in 68% yield. Lowering th e te m p e ra tu re to -78 ° C before adding th e diene 2 2 8 did not improve the stereoselectivity much. It w as eventually found that titanium tetrachloride w a s the best Lewis acid for this type of dienophile. For example, treatment of thioester 138 with titanium tetrachloride at 23 ° C in dichlorom ethane followed by adding diene 228 at -78 °C g av e a cycloadduct 309 in 72% yield without any cycloadduct 310 detectable in the 1H NMR spectrum of the crude product (entry 6 in Table 8). The regiochem istry of cycloadduct 309 w a s e s ta b lis h e d a s follows. Treatment of cycloadduct 309 with mercury (II) chloride and calcium carbo nate in wet acetonitrile gav e olefinic acid 311 in 53% yield.29’30 When 311 w a s treated with iodine in tetrahydroturan, it gave y-lactone 312 in 42% yield (equation 89).

T he u s e of titanium tetrachloride a s a Lewis acid catalyst ag a in improved the regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction dramatically. Thus, treatment of s e le n o e s te r 139 with titanium tetrachloride at -23 °C followed by adding isoprene (228) at -78 °C afforded cycloadduct 3 1 4 in 77% yield without detection of cycloadduct 315 in the 1H NMR spectru m of the crude product (entry 8 in Table 8). As described in the introduction of this chapter, it is difficult to obtain 1,3-disubstituted cyclohexene derivatives via Diels-Alder reactions. Since tin hydride promoted decarboxylation of s e le n o e s te rs 32 is a well known method, it w as hoped that a m eta substituted cyclohexene could b e obtained from adduct 314. Thus, treatment of cycloadduct 31 4 with tri-n-butyltin hydride in the p re s e n c e of catalytic amount of AIBN afforded 315 in 56% yield along with aldehyde 316 in 16% yield (equation 91).

Treatm ent of the acid with iodine an d potassium iodide afforded y-iodolactone 355 in 8 3 % yield. The regiochemistry w as also determ ined by the long rang e C-H correlation experiments. For example, a doublet of doublets at 5 3.37, assigned to H(4) in 350, w as coupled with carbonyl carbon of the thioester and a signal at 5 2.95, assigned to H(5), w a s coupled to the carbonyl carbon of carbom ethoxy group. The stereochem istry of the major isom er 3 5 0 w as determ ined by the coupling constants in the 1H NMR spectra. That is, the coupling constants of the doublet of doublets at 3.37 ppm (H4)are large and small (11.4 and 5.7 Hz). The coupling co n stan ts of the doublet of doublets at 5 2.71 (H4)of the minor isom er 351 are large and large (11.1 and 10.1). So, we a s sig n ed the major product a s endo isomer and the minor one a s exo isomer. Other convincing evidence for the endo stereochem istry of the adduct 350 co m es from the coupling pattern of the iodolactone 355. For example, there is no coupling betw een H(1) and 115 H(8) b e c a u s e the dihedral angle betw een them is 90 d egree, an indication ot cis relationship betw een lactone ring and the methyl group.
