Base-Promoted Rearrangement of 1,5-Dibromopentacyclo2,5.03,9.04,8>decane-6,10-dione: Easy Entry of a Novel Cage System, 10-Oxa-9-oxopentacyclo2,4.03,6.05,8>decane

The Diels-Alder dimerization of 2-bromo-2,4-cyclopentadienone ethylene acetal (2) gave endo-2,7-dibromodicyclopentadiene-1,8-dione 1,8-bis(ethylene acetal) (3) as a minor product in a 4.5percent yield. Ultraviolet irradiation of 5 led to dimerization product 7. Deacetalization was accomplished by treating with concentrated sulfuric acid to give 1,5-dibromopentacyclo2,5.03,9.04,8>decane-6,10-dione (9). Compound 9 was converted into a new cage system, 10-oxa-9-oxopentacyclo2,4.03,6.05,8>decane, in a high yield by treating with 5percent aqueous potassium hydroxide at 80 deg C.

Cubane, an intriguing chemical curiosity first studied in the early 1960s, has become a valuable structural motif and has recently been involved in the structures of a great number of prospective compounds. The first dicationic supramolecular guest 5 is prepared and derived from a 1,4-disubstituted cubane moiety, and its binding behavior toward cucurbit[n]urils (CBn) and cyclodextrins (CD) is studied. The bisimidazolium salt 5 forms 1:1 inclusion complexes with CB7, CB8, and β-CD with the respective association constants (6.7 ± 0.5) × 1011 M-1, (1.5 ± 0.2) × 109 M-1, and 2 M-1 in water. The solid-state structures of the 5@CB7 and 5@CB8 complexes are also reported.

A scalable process for the preparation of high purity dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate (3) is reported. The work described herein builds on previous synthetic work from this and other laboratories, to provide a reliable process that can be used to prepare multigram quantities of 3 in a partially telescoped, 8 step process, with minimal purification of intermediates.
