- Cycloadditions with 1,2-difluorovinylphenylsulfone
-
Cycloaddition reactions of (E) and (Z)-1,2-difluorovinylphenylsulfones with diphenylnitrone, ethyl- and mesitylnitrile oxides and diphenylnitrile imine have been studied.The behaviour of these new dipolarophiles has been compared to that of the rela

- SYNTHESIS OF 3-ARYL-4,5-DIHYDRO-5-HYDROXY-1,2-OXAZOLES BY REACTION OF SUBSTITUTED BENZONITRILE OXIDES WITH THE ENOLATE ION OF ACETALDEHYDE.
-
By reaction of substituted benzonitrile oxides with the enolate ion of acetaldehyde (quantitatively generated by the known cycloreversion of THF in the presence of n-butyllithium) a number of 3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-hydroxy-1,2-oxazoles (previously unknown or, in two cases, only synthesized by different procedures) have been isolated in high yields.Treatment of such hydroxy-isoxalines with some common bases allows their conversion in high yields into the corresponding isoxazoles.

- SITE SELECTIVITY IN THE REACTIONS OF 1,3-DIPOLES WITH NORBORNADIENE DERIVATIVES
-
The cycloadditions of arylazides, benzonitrile oxides and diphenylnitrile imine to norbornadiene derivatives 1a-c showed varying degree of site- and stereo-selectivity.With dipolarophile 1a arylazides and benzonitrile oxides attack, preferentially, the electron-poor tetrasubstituted double bond, while in the case of 1b and 1c is the substituted double bond which enters the cycloaddition.By contrast, 2-diazopropane and C-phenyl-N-methylnitrone react with the sole tetrasubstituted double bond of 1a-c in stereo- and site-specific cycloadditions.The quantitative evaluation of the two possible reaction paths was performed by glc analysis.The compounds detected were those arising from Diels-Alder cycloreversions of the thermally labile intermediate adducts 2 and 3 (Scheme 1).The results were rationalized on the basis of a qualitative perturbation treatment which considers frontier orbital interactions only.
