Can Twisted Double Bonds Facilitate Stepwise [2 + 2] Cycloadditions?
Org Lett
May 2024
Department of Chemistry, University of Houston, Houston, Texas 77204, United States.
Computational studies for a series of low to high strain anti-Bredt alkenes suggest that those with highly twisted bridgehead double bonds and a small singlet-triplet energy gap may undergo facile stepwise [2 + 2] cycloadditions to furnish four membered rings. A selection of reaction substrates, including ethylene, acetylene, perfluoroethylene, and cyclooctyne are considered.

Novel P,O-type ligands, N-disulfonyl bicyclic bridgehead phosphorus triamides, were synthesized and utilized in Pd-catalyzed hydrosilylation involving tertiary silanes, unactivated alkenes, and conjugated dienes. The ligand displayed a remarkable level of reactivity for alkene hydrosilylation with tertiary silanes and its use resulted in a significant improvement in the regioselectivity of diene hydrosilylation towards 1,2-hydrosilylation. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed the bidentate nature of the ligand, with coordination of phosphorus and oxygen.

CH isomers not only serve as a basis to understand the chemical properties of hydrocarbons but are possible intermediates in combustion and organic reactions in outer space. Cyclobutenylidene (CBY), an elusive CH isomer, is often proposed as a key intermediate in transition-metal-catalyzed metathesis and cycloaddition reactions between carbon-carbon multiple bonds. The geometrical structure of cyclobutenylidene predicted by calculations had been debated as whether it should be regarded as a carbocyclic carbene or a strained bridgehead alkene.

Herein, we report a novel bioorthogonal reaction that hinges on a bridgehead alkene (BHA)-enabled inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition. Readily accessible from natural product β-caryophyllene, the strained BHA displays high reactivity toward the IEDDA reaction while maintaining excellent biocompatibility. The developed IEDDA reaction has been applied to protein labeling and pretargeted live cell imaging.

A two-step synthesis of geminal divinyl compounds from ketones was developed. An allyl titanium reagent prepared from 1-phenylthio-4-trimethylsilyl-2-butene was reacted with a ketone, and the resulting tertiary alcohol was subjected to a Brønsted acid-mediated rearrangement reaction to generate a geminal divinyl compound. Introduction of another alkene moiety followed by ring closing metathesis resulted in a bicyclic compound possessing a vinyl group at the bridgehead position.
