Valence-isomer selective cycloaddition reaction of cycloheptatrienes-norcaradienes

The rapid and precise creation of complex molecules while controlling multiple selectivities is the principal objective in synthetic chemistry. Combining data science and organic synthesis to achieve this goal is an emerging trend, but few examples of successful reaction designs are reported. We develop an artificial neural network regression model using bond orbital data to predict chemical reactivities. Actual experimental verification confirms cycloheptatriene-selective [6 + 2]-cycloaddition utilizing nitroso compounds and norcaradiene-selective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions employing benzynes. Additionally, a one-pot asymmetric synthesis is achieved by telescoping the enantioselective dearomatization of non-activated benzenes and cycloadditions. Computational studies provide a rational explanation for the seemingly anomalous occurrence of thermally prohibited suprafacial [6 + 2]-cycloaddition without photoirradiation.

Diastereospecific Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cyclization Cascade for the Controlled Preparation of N- and N,O-Heterocycles

The reaction of oxime-tethered 1,6-enynes with a cationic gold(I) catalyst demonstrates a great potential for the synthesis of a range of heterocycles in a diastereospecific fashion. The control of the configuration of the oxime and the alkene of the enyne moiety is the key to selectively obtain dihydro-1,2-oxazines, isoxazolines or dihydropyrrole-N-oxides as single diastereoisomers. As supported by DFT calculations, these cascade reactions proceed stepwise, by the intramolecular addition of the O or N atom of the oxime onto cyclopropyl gold(I) carbene intermediates. In this study, a rare [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of nitrones is also observed.

Polymer-Supported Syntheses of Heterocycles Bearing Oxazine and Thiazine Scaffolds

In this review, we summarize synthetic approaches to preparing single or fused oxazine and thiazine derivatives using solid-phase synthesis (SPS). The literature survey revealed that diverse compounds bearing variously functionalized 1,2-oxazine, 1,3-oxazine, or 1,4-oxazine scaffolds and the corresponding thiazines are accessible by SPS. The latest contributions involving the stereoselective polymer-supported syntheses of morpholines indicate that the field is continuing to expand.

Bifunctional catalysis in the stereocontrolled synthesis of tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines

The application of bifunctional catalysis for the synthesis of tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines is described.

d0a3 Synthon Equivalents for the Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Functionalized 1,4-Amino Alcohol Precursors

This study demonstrates the design, synthesis, and first application of novel aminooxylating reagents that serve as a useful d⁰a³ synthon equivalents for organic synthesis. It has been demonstrated that their reaction with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes performed under aminocatalytic conditions provides a straightforward access to polysubstituted tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine derivatives, direct precursors of functionalized 1,4-amino alcohols. Target tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine derivatives have been obtained with high yields (up to 89%) and with excellent stereocontrol (up to >20:1 dr, > 99.5:0.5 er). Furthermore, the synthetic usefulness of tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines obtained has been demonstrated in various selective transformations.

Preparing Mn(iii) salen-type Schiff base complexes using 1,3-oxazines obtained by Mannich condensation: towards removing ortho-hydroxyaldehydes

Synthesis of Mn(iii)-salen type Schiff base complexes from 1,3-oxazines obtained from Mannich condensation. This method eliminates the restrictions on the use ofortho-hydroxyaldehydes.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of ɤ-Lactone and 1,2-Oxazine Derivatives and Their Efficient Chiral Analysis

Derivatives of 3-methyl-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazine-6-carboxylic acid prepared by regioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction of arylnitroso compounds with sorbic acid were used for solid-phase synthesis of a library of derivatives that included modification of carboxylic group, dihydroxylation of double bond and cleavage of N-O bond. Derivatives of 2,3,4-trihydroxyhexanoic acid obtained from 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines after double bond dihydroxylation and N-O cleavage were used for simple and stereoselective formation of chiral lactones derived from 3,4-dihydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one. The final compounds obtained as a mixture of stereoisomers were analyzed with use of chiral HPLC and SFC. HPLC analyses were not successful for all derivatives or required lengthy chromatography. On the other hand SFC afforded much shorter analyses and was effective for all studied derivatives. The method of synthesis and analysis is thus suitable for future study of stereoselective synthesis of lactones and other derivatives from single oxazine derivatives and application of high-throughput synthesis on solid-support and combinatorial chemistry.
