[chemical reaction: see text]. Nitroalkene (E)-1 has been synthesized to test the feasibility of an intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition in a planned synthesis of daphnilactone B. This nitro olefin contains two unique structural features, a nitromethylene lactone and a pendant diene, that combine under the action of SnCl4 in a highly selective fashion to afford nitronates 2a and 2b. These products represent the correct relationship for the vicinal quaternary stereogenic centers in the core of daphnilactone B.

Silane-promoted cycloaddition of thiobenzhydrazides with carbon dioxide toward 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3)-ones.

Herein, we developed a silane-promoted cycloaddition of thiobenzhydrazides with carbon dioxide leading to 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3)-ones. This procedure involves sequential -silylation and fixation of carbon dioxide toward a hydrazine formyl intermediate, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization and aromatization. A series of functional groups are well-tolerated under this procedure.

This study examined the chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity of silyl nitronate alkenyn-nitroethers in Intramolecular Silyl Nitronate Cycloadditions (ISNCs) to produce isoxazole derivatives with interesting medicinal properties. These reactions resulted in the formation of either dihydrofuro[3,4-c]isoxazolines/isoxazolidines and/or alkynyl moieties attached to 2,5-dihydrofuryl carbonyls. This study also discerned the diastereoselectivities of the resulting cyclic adducts and compared them to previous findings.

We report the synthesis, isolation, and comprehensive characterization of N-heterocyclic carbene gold xanthate (NHC-Au-X, X - xanthate) complexes. These easily accessible complexes demonstrate significant versatility as photocatalysts, facilitating [2+2]-cycloadditions, and as π-catalysts in the intramolecular hydroxylation of allenes and hydrohydrazination of alkynes.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Intramolecular reactions between isocyano and iminophosphorane functions yield species containing an embedded 1,3,2-diazaphosphetidine ring, as result of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition of the primary reactive product, the cyclic carbodiimide, with a second unit of reactant. DFT studies reveal a first rate-determining step entailing a [2 + 1] cycloaddition involving the isocyanide carbon atom and the P═N double bond, with the further intervention of a dipolar precursor of the intermediate carbodiimide. The 1,3,2-diazaphosphetidine ring of the final products is shown to be hydrolytically and thermally labile.
