x Foreword
This is the nineteenth annual volume of Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry, and covers the literature published during 2006 on most of the important heterocyclic ring systems.
References are
incorporated into the text using the journal codes adopted by Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, and are listed in full at the end of each chapter. This volume opens with two specialized reviews. The first, by Xuechuan Hong and Michael Harmata, covers ’Recent progress in the chemistry of 2,1benzothiazines’. The second, by Ana Silva and José Cavaleiro, discusses ‘Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions’. The remaining chapters examine the 2006 literature on the common heterocycles in order of increasing ring size and the heteroatoms present. In the previous volume, Vol. 18, it was not possible to include a chapter on ‘Six-membered ring systems: diazines and benzo derivatives’ so this volume has two chapters on this topic: chapter 5.4 (2005) covers the literature of 2005 and chapter 5.4 (2006) covers the publications of 2006. Due to unforeseen and
unfortunate circum stances, ‘Six-m embered ring system s: with O and/or S atom s’ does not appear in this volume; Volume 20 will include a double chapter on this topic, covering the literature of 2006 and 2007. The Index is not fully comprehensive – it includes only systematic heterocyclic ring system names. Thus, wherever a pyrrole is discussed, that would be indexed under 'pyrroles'; wherever 'pyrido[3,4-b]indoles' are mentioned an indexed entry under that name will be found; similarly 'aceanthryleno[1,2-e][1,2,4]triazines', 'azirines', '2H-pyran-2-ones', '1,2,4-triazoles', etc., etc. are listed. But, subjects like '4-ethyl-5-methylpyrrole', '5-acylazirines', '6-alkyl-2H-pyran-2-ones', '3alkylamino-1,2,4-triazoles', are not listed as such in the Index. 'Diels-Alder reaction' or 'Heck coupling' etc., are also not indexed. However, again this year, the Contents pages list all the subheadings of the chapters which we hope will considerably improve accessibility for readers. We are delighted to welcome some new contributors to this volume and we continue to be indebted to the veteran cadre of authors for their expert and conscientious coverage. We are also grateful to Joan Anuels of Elsevier Science for supervising the publication of the volume. We hope that our readers find this series to be a useful guide to modern heterocyclic chemistry. As always, we encourage both suggestions for improvements and ideas for review topics.

Chapter 1 Recent progress in the chemistry of 2,1-benzothiazines
Xuechuan Hong and Michael Harmata∗ Department of Chemistry, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia, Missouri 65211, USA
[email protected]
1.1 INTRODUCTION The study of the chemistry of 2,1-benzothiazines 1 started in the 1960s <65JOC3163; 81JHC73>. Subsequently, their preparation and intensive biological and physiological studies have been reported <66MI1; 66MI2; 66MI3; 67MI1; 67MI2; 67MI3; 67MI4; 68MI1; 69MI1; 71MI1; 77MI1; 84MI1; 89MI1; 92MI1>. In recent years, 2,1-benzothiazines 1, have been of enormous interest to synthetic chemists. The current review is intended to present the progress of synthetic procedures and applications of 2,1-benzothiazines 1 and related compounds. 5

These remarkable biological activities have made the synthesis of the 3,4-dihydro-2,1benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide skeleton of interest. Several different methods of synthesis of 3,4dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide derivatives are already established.

Figure 2. 3,4-Dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide derivatives. In 1965, the first 2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide was synthesized by Leov’s group <65JOC3163; 67MI1> through cyclization of 2-(ortho-aminophenyl)ethanesulfonic acid or its sodium salt with phosphorus pentachloride and acetyl chloride. They also demonstrated that 4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine-2,2 dioxide (6) can be smoothly obtained by treatment of styrenesulfonanilide 5 with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) <67MI1>. Sianesi and co-workers <71CB1880> developed an alternative approach to prepare 4 in 73% yield by pyrolysis of the corresponding aminosulfonamide hydrochloride 7 (Scheme 1). NH 2

The 3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide 4 was obtained in 13% yield at 300 oC along with some side products, such as dihydropyrindine, indoline, indole, and styrene. Although the reaction yield was low, this new approach appeared very promising for the synthesis of 2,1-benzothiazenes (Scheme 3). After an extension of this work reported by the same group, <78H(11)377; 81JA1525; 84JOC5124; 84MI1; 85JOC2066> the thermolysis of compound 11 (R1 = H; R2, R3 = OMe) at 400 oC in Freon 113 as solvent gave compound 12 in 46-62% yield.

Scheme 3 5-Hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide 15 can be synthesized in a convenient manner <94TL2911>. Blondet and co-workers used a cyclization of an ortho(chloromethyl or carboxaldehyde) N-protected sulfonanilide 13 or 16 with sodium hydride in DMF to give the benzothiazine dioxide 14 or 17 in 35% and 47% yields, respectively (Scheme 4). Finally, removal of the methoxy group and hydrogenation led to the formation of 5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide 15 in good yield over two steps.

Scheme 4 An improved synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide was reported by Togo and co-workers using photochemical conditions <00JOC8391; 00JOC926>. Treatment of N-alkyl 2-(aryl)ethanesulfonamides 18 with (diacetoxyiodo)arenes under irradiation with a tungsten lamp at 20-30 oC afforded 2,1-benzothiazines 19 and 20. Chemical yields and selectivities were dependent upon the choice of solvents and the reactant’s substituents 18 (Table 1). When THF and EtOH were used as solvents, the reactions failed to give the cyclized products, since their Į-hydrogen was abstracted by the intermediate sulfonamidyl radical. Compound 20 was obtained as a major product when 1,2-dichloroethane was employed as a solvent. In contrast, in the case of EtOAc as solvent, compound 19 was obtained as the major product. Table 1.

Togo’s group also reported the preparation of the 2,1-benzothiazines via an ionic pathway with hypervalent iodine compounds <03OBC1342>. Using this method, it was found to be far easier to synthesize five- or seven-membered benzosultams and avoid the difficult deprotection of the N-alkyl group in the six-membered benzosultams to give the free NH group. The reaction of N-methoxy 2-(aryl)ethanesulfonamides 21 with various hypervalent iodine reagents produced the cyclization products in various yields, which were dependent on the dielectric constant (ε) of solvents. The best yield of 2,1-benzothiazines 22 was 85% by treatment of N-methoxy 2-(aryl)ethanesulfonamides 21 with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo] benzene in CH3CN solvent from 0 oC to room temperature for 20 minutes (Table 2). An electron-withdrawing group on the para position of the aromatic ring in 21 (e.g., Cl, F) reduced the yields of the cyclization reaction. In 2003, Togo and co-workers described a radical cyclization and ionic cyclization onto the aromatic rings of 2-(aryl)ethanesulfonamides 21 to produce 3,4-dihydro-2,1benzothiazine 2,2-dioxides with polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents in good yields <03ARK11>. 1.2.2 Synthesis of Dibenzo[c,e][1,2]thiazine 5,5-dioxide Derivatives Dibenzo[c,e][1,2]thiazine 5,5-dioxide derivatives 23 are pharmacologically interesting <91JMC2477; 93JMC2242; 99BMCL673>. Various methods for the construction of these biarylthiazines have been reported (Figure 3) <00SL475; 01T5915>.

Glover and co-workers published a study involving the synthesis and photolysis of N-halogenobiphenyl-2-sulfonamides (26a or 26b) <86JCS(P2)645>. The photolysis of compound 26a or compound 26b in benzene formed an intermediate N-methylbiphenyl-2-sulfonamidyl radical, which resulted in compound 27a or 27b in 21% or 50% yield, respectively. In this procedure, the reaction only afforded the six-membered ring product 27(Scheme 6). R CH3 N hυ SO2 benzene

Scheme 6 A reductive, intramolecular, free radical arylation using tributyltin hydride/AIBN was introduced by the Motherwell group <91CC877; 97TL137>. The reaction of 28 under radical conditions produced the direct addition product 29 and ipso-substitution product 30 in various yields, which depended on the ortho and para substituents. Electron-withdrawing groups favored the formation of compound 29, while the ortho carbomethoxy group, and even the CH3 group led to greatly improved yields of the ipso substitution product 30 (Scheme 7).

This general method offered an easier entry into the 2,1-benzothiazine 2,2dioxide heterocyclic system <67JHC403>. Treatment of methyl N-benzyl-Nmethylsulfonylanthranilate 35 with sodium hydride led to 1-benzyl-4-oxo-1H-2,1benzothiazine-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide 36 in 68% yield.

Scheme 12 1.2.4 Synthesis of Azathiabenzenes and Azathiaphenanthrenes Cyclic sulfilimines are considered useful reagents in organic synthesis <00JOC8086; 03JOC9574>. The chemistry of cyclic sulfilimines has been studied extensively since the 1970s. Hori and co-workers accomplished the first synthesis of azathianaphthalene and azathiaphenanthrene in 1979 <79TL3969>. Their approach began with the formation of an olefin from ortho-nitrobenzaldehyde 43, via a Wittig reaction with an ylide and a subsequent reduction with zinc to afford cis and trans ortho-aminostyryl methyl sulfide 45. The cisolefin was then treated with NCS, AgClO4 and KOH to yield 2-methyl-1-aza-2thianaphthalene 47 in 41% yield. 9-Methyl-10-aza-9-thiaphenanthrene 48a and 9-ethyl-10aza-9-thiaphenanthrene 48b were obtained in a similar fashion in almost quantitative yields, whereas 6-benzyl-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]thiazines 50 were isolated in moderate yields via a 1,2-rearrangement (Scheme 13) <90TL7021>.

However, Beecken <67CB2151> reported some cycloaddition reactions of heterocyclic sulfinylamino compounds to ethoxyacetylene. Hanson and Stone <84JCS(P1)2429> demonstrated that cycloadditions of compound 53 and substituted derivatives with certain hetero-bridged bicyclic alkenes, particularly with 1,4-epoxy-1,4dihydronaphthalene 55 are pericyclic reactions (Scheme 16) <83JCS(P2)1719>.

In order to explore the regioselectivity of aryl sulfinylamines as heterodienes, a variety of unsymmetrical (N-sulfinylamino)azines, such as (N-sulfinylamino)pyridines (57, 60, 63), were studied by Hanson <90JCS(P1)2089>. In refluxing toluene, 1,4-epoxy-1,4dihydronaphthalene 55 prefers to react at the C-2 position of 3-(N-sulfinylamino)pyridine 60. On the other hand, 2-(N-sulfinylamino)pyridine 63 reacted at the ring nitrogen with 1,4epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalene 55 to give only a single trans-exo-adduct 64 in 64% yield (Scheme 17). Hogeveen and co-workers <82JOC1909; 83JOC4275> also reported the synthesis of tricyclic sulfinamides by the reaction of cyclobutadiene aluminum halide ı complexes (65 or 66) with 53 at low temperature. Treatment of 65 or 66 with 53 at –60 oC resulted in the formation of 67 or 68 in 52% and 55% yields, respectively (Scheme 18).

1.2.6.1 Lewis Acid-mediated Synthesis of 2,1-Benzothiazenes In 1987, the Harmata group reported a general and novel procedure for the synthesis of benzothiazenes during an attempt to synthesize alkynyl sulfoximines <87TL5997>. They demonstrated the Lewis acid-mediated electrophilic addition reaction of the N-aryl substituted sulfonimidoyl chlorides to alkynes. Intermediate vinyl carbocations may formed in the reaction, and converted into benzothiazenes by a Friedel-Crafts electrophilic substitution reaction. As an example, the reaction of N-phenylsulfonimidoyl chloride 71 with 1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne and aluminum chloride in dichloromethane at –78 oC generated 72 in 75% yield (Scheme 19). This and other reactions took place with high Markownikov regioselectivity (Table 3). Whether the formation of the σ complexes 74 could be a concerted “cycloaddition” between the iminosulfonium “heterodiene” 73 and the alkyne dienophile or more likely a stepwise process, does not appear to have been established (Scheme 20) <91JOC5059>.

The Harmata group’s initial report concerned a one-pot, one-operation procedure <99AG(E)2419> for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2,1-benzothiazines via the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction reported by Bolm <98TL5731; 00JOC169> for sulfoximine Narylation. For example, treatment of ortho-bromobenzaldehyde 78 with enantiomerically pure N-H sulfoximine 77a in the presence of a palladium catalyst and base afforded the benzothiazine 79 in 78% yield (Scheme 22). Both C-N bond formation and condensation occurred during the reaction, a phenomenon that appears general for aldehydes like 78. pTol

Scheme 24 In 2003, the Harmata group reported a stereoselective, intramolecular Michael addition of sulfoximine carbanions to α,β-unsaturated esters as exemplified in Scheme 25 <03JA5754>. Preparation of sulfoximine 90 was conducted via the methodology introduced by Bolm as used in the initial studies of catalyzed benzothiazine synthesis <98TL5731; 00JOC169; 99AG(E)2419>. The sulfoximine 91 was transformed via treatment with LDA into 92. Importantly, 92 was formed as a single stereoisomer. This appears to be a general phenomenon for these types of reactions. Two procedures were reported for this cyclization. The first involved adding a THF solution of 2.0 equivalents of base in THF to the sulfoximine at -78 °C, but addition of the sulfoximine to base worked as well, and was occasionally absolutely necessary.

Scheme 25 Two substrates could not be cyclized under normal addition conditions. An N-thienyl sulfoximine afforded benzothiazine 98 in good yield, but the corresponding the furanyl sulfoximine appeared to polymerize when base was added in the normal way. This problem was circumvented simply by adding the furan to a solution in base. The best reaction conditions involved adding a THF solution of the N-furanyl sulfoximine to 2.0 equivalents of LiHMDS in THF at –50 °C at a very slow rate. Stirring the solution for an additional 3 hours gave the benzothiazine 99 as a single stereoisomer in 85% yield. Similarly, the N-pyridyl sulfoximine also gave either decomposition or side products when treated with base. This problem was solved by addition of the sulfoximine to base coupled with degassing, and the desired benzothiazine 100 was obtained in 77% yield. The rationalization for the outcome of these cyclization reactions was based on minimizing steric interactions in the transition state leading to benzothiazine formation. For example, at least two possible transition states 101 and 102 could give rise to product 92 (or a diastereomer). Transition state 102 has gauche steric interactions that appear to be absent in the staggered transition state 101. This favors the latter and leads to the observed products 92 (Figure 8).

The Harmata group demonstrated that benzothiazine formation via the intramolecular Michael addition is stereospecific, at least in one case. When sulfoximine Z-103 was treated with 2.0 equivalents LDA the 2,1-benzothiazine 104 was obtained in 89% yield (Scheme 26) as the only product. Rationalizing this outcome was not straightforward. Transition state 106 suffers from gauche interactions and should be disfavored. However, the interaction of the ester group with a neighboring hydrogen (highlighted) in 105 was argued to be more severe. As it stands, these rationalizations are at best hypotheses that need to be investigated further.

Figure 9. Putative transition states structures for the Michael reaction of sulfoximine 103. The Harmata group also found that certain ortho-bromocinnamates underwent a Michael addition during the course of the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. This one-pot process produced the same products as the two step process and with the same, complete stereoselectivity. For example, this was first observed with bromocinnamate 107, where the reaction with (R)-77b afforded a 53% yield of sulfoximine 108 as well as a 36% yield of benzothiazine 95 under standard coupling conditions (Scheme 27). The cyclization was attributed to a buttressing effect of the ortho-methoxy in bromocinnamate 107. This presumably favored a conformation that placed the methyl group of its sulfoximine functionality near the β-carbon of the α,ѽβ-unsaturated ester, thus favoring cyclization. CO2Me Me

Scheme 27 Two other substrates, 109 and 111, exhibited this behavior. Most interesting was that the reaction of both 109 and 111 with (S)-77b under standard reaction conditions gave only benzothiazines 110 and 112, respectively, with no sign of the corresponding sulfoximine (Scheme 28). While using the argument of a buttressing effect may be useful, the Harmata group also reported that the reaction of bromocinnamate 113 with (S)-77b gave not only the sulfoximine 114, but the benzothiazine 96 as well (Scheme 28). There is no buttressing effect possible in this case and it is likely that other factors (e.g., electronic effects) can also favor direct benzothiazine formation.

1.2.7 Heterocyclic Ring-fused Thiazines and Ring-fused 2,1-Benzothiazine Derivatives The first synthesis of pyrazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-thiadiazines 116 and pyrazolo[3,4-c]-1,2thiazines 118 was reported by Aiello and co-workers <76JHC615>. Compound 115 was heated five degrees above its melting point to afford the novel ring system 116. However, compound 117 gave compound 118 when treated with triethylamine. Similar ring systems were prepared <97JHC1693> by Coppo and Fawzi from the reaction of substituted ethyl 5-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates 119 with sodium hydride. This gave the 7-substitued 1,7-dihydro-1-methylpyrazolo[3,4c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxides 120 in fair to good yield (Scheme 30). They also extended this synthesis by treating methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate 121 with sodium hydride in dimethylformamide to yield 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide 122 in 79% yield (Scheme 31) <98JHC499>.

Scheme 31 The first synthesis of substituted 2,2-dioxo-1H-thieno[3,4-c][1,2]thiazines 124a and 124b was achieved by Fanghanel and co-workers <98JHC1449>. Reaction of the thiazinecarboxaldehydes 123a and 123b with Et3N in DMF at room temperature gave compounds 124a and 124b in 59% and 49% yields, respectively (Scheme 32). The methyl group of 125a,b is easily deprotonated by a base, such as NaOEt. The corresponding intermediate attacks the nitrile group to yield the benzo[c]thiazines 126a and 126b in 53% and 72% yields, respectively. This method is a very convenient way to prepare substituted 2,2-dioxo-benzo[c]1,2-thiazines (Scheme 33) <99JPR403>.

Scheme 33 Moody and co-workers independently prepared the fused 1λ4,ѽ2-thiazines by mild thermolysis <86JCS(P1)483; 81CC927>. The thieno[3,2-c][1λ4,ѽ2]thiazines were successfully synthesized from the azides 127a-g in boiling toluene with varying yields (Scheme 34), which were generally good. Thermolysis of 127g gave a very poor yield of the corresponding sulfimide 128g, since product 128g lacks a stabilizing substituent, and thereby is unstable in refluxing toluene. Ethyl 2-phenyfuro[3,2-c][1λ4,ѽ2]thiazine-3-carboxylate 130 has been prepared by a similar procedure from 129 (Scheme 35). N3

Scheme 36 Isoxazolo[4,3-c]-2,1-benzothiazine, a new heterocyclic system, was synthesized by an intramolecular aza-Wittig type ring closure process <04SL101>. This was the first example of the construction of a cyclic sulfimide using aza-Wittig chemistry. Treatment of 3-(oazidophenyl)-4-sulfoxyaryl-isoxazoles 134 with triphenylphosphine under Staudinger reaction conditions gave the corresponding aryliminophosphoranyl 4-sulfoxyaryl-isoxazoles 135a and 135b in the yields of 91% and 95%, respectively. A subsequent aza-Wittig type cyclization of 135a and 135b in refluxing toluene produced isoxazolo[4,3-c]-2,1benzothiazines 136a and 136b in the yields of 50% and 48%, respectively (Scheme 36). In order to study heterocyclic steroid analogues, such as the 7,11-dithiaazasteroid analogues, Fravolini developed the synthesis of new heterocyclic ring systems: tri- and tetracyclic 2,1-benzothiazines <82JHC1045>. Intermediate 137 was prepared from 1-methyl4-oxo-1H-2,1-benzothiazine-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide 37 and thioglycolic acid and could be converted into 6-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-thiopyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazine 5,5dioxide 138 by cyclization with polyphosphoric acid. The reaction of 138 with dimethyl

oxalate afforded the glyoxylate 139 in 60% yield. Condensation of the glyoxylate 139 in acetic acid with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride respectively, furnished 5-methyl-1-carbomethoxyl-5H,11H-isoxazole[4,5-c]thiopyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazine 4,4dioxide 140a and 5-methyl-1-carbomethoxyl-5,11-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3c]thiopyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazine 4,4-dioxide 140b in the yields of 62% and 39%, respectively. Decarbonylation of 139 gave the β-keto ester 141 in 69% yield. Reduction of 141 afforded 5-methyl-1-hydroxy-5,11-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]thiopyrano[3,2c][2,1]benzothiazine 4, 4-dioxide 142 in 40% yield (Scheme 37). O O

Scheme 37 Recently, Coppo and Fawzi <98JHC983> reported the synthesis of tricyclic 2,1benzothiazines starting from compound 37 (Scheme 37). They discovered that the O-benzoyl compound 143 can rearrange to the C-benzoyl compounds 144a-c in the presence of acetone and triethylamine in fair to good yields. However, a rearrangement of 145a-b under similar reaction conditions resulted in the formation of novel tricyclic 2,1-benzothiazines 146a and 146b in the yields of 31% and 27%, respectively.

1.3 CHEMISTRY OF 2,1-BENZOTHIAZINES 1.3.1 Reactions of 2,1-Benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide As mentioned previously, 1H-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide (34, R = H) can be converted into 3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide 4 by hydrogenation <66JOC3531>. Alkylation and arylation of 4 occurred on the sulfonamide nitrogen to give compound 152 in high yield <65JOC3163; 71CB1880; 66JOC3531>. A similar reaction was further reported by the Loev group in which 2,1-benzothiazine 150 was formed from acrylonitrile and 34 via a Michael addition reaction, followed by a reduction <67MI3>. Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions have been studied by Loev and Kormendy <65JOC3163> and by Sianesi <71CB1880> and co-workers. Bromination and nitration of 152 only afforded a 6mono-brominated product 153, whereas bromination and nitration of 4 gave a mixture of mono- and disubstituted products 151, where the yields are dependent upon the reaction conditions <65JOC3163; 67MI1>. Another interesting reaction has been reported by Rossi and Pagani <66AC(R)728>. Indole 148 and N-methylaniline 149 were isolated from treatment of 2,1-benzothiazine 147 with copper powder at around 300 oC (Scheme 38) <81JHC73>. R1 153: R =CH 3 R1 = Br, NO 2

1.3.2 Reactions of Azathiabenzenes and Azathiaphenanthrenes A further study of azathiabenzenes and azathiaphenanthrenes was reported by the Hori group <84CPB4360; 87CC385> and the Moody group <81CC927; 86JCS(P1)497; 86JCS(P1)501>. An interesting reaction of azathiabenzenes with electrophiles <91JCS(P1)1733; 94JCS(P1)1709> was observed as their compounds possess an ylidic structure <94JCS(P1)1709>. This structure was confirmed by spectral and some chemical evidence <91JCS(P1)1733>. For example, treatment of 52a with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) 154 in an aprotic solvent, such as dry benzene, at room temperature gave the adduct 157 in 47% yield. The proposed mechanism involves a fourcentered intermediate 156, which can arise from the first intermediate 155, which was formed by a nucleophilic addition of the ylide anion to DMAD (Scheme 39). When the solvent was changed to a protic solvent (e.g., methanol or ethanol), no thiazocine was observed, but adduct 160 (2:1) was isolated in 65% yield. The structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. It is possible that intermediate 155 was protonated by the protic solvent to give a relatively stable species 158. The next step requires intermediate 158 to be attacked by another molecule of 52a to result in the formation of intermediate 159, which afforded the final product 160 after deprotonation (Scheme 39) <84CPB4360; 82CC1060>.

The methyl hydrogen of 9-methyl-10-aza-9-thiaphenanthrene 48a is acidic. It can be readily deprotonated by LDA in THF <91TL4359>. The corresponding anion can be quenched by alkyl iodides to give various 9-alkyl-10-aza-9-thiaphenanthrenes 48c in fair yields (Scheme 41). However, none of the expected products were found when the anion was quenched by TMSCl or esters. Ring expansion product 167 was obtained via sulfonium ylide intermediate 170 derived from the expected product 169 by a 1,2-shift (Scheme 42) <01JA3830; 06JOC3650>. The novel spiro compound 168, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis, was generated by Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement (Scheme 43) <91JCS(P1)1733; 91TL4359>.

The initial intermediates in the photolysis of the fused 1λ4, 2-thiazines, 177a-f were the nitrenes 179. Then electrocyclic ring closure of the resulting nitrenes 179 led to the nonaromatic fused 2H-pyrrole 180, followed by [1,5] sigmatropic shifts of –SR and hydrogen to give the pyrrole products 178a-f. It is very interesting that the observed products arose from the exclusive migration of the sulfur substituent in 180 in the presence of ester, ketone and aldehyde groups (Scheme 46) <86JCS(P1)497; 86JCS(P1)501>.

Usually, fused 1λ4, 2-thiazines are thermal stable up to 120 oC, but they were gradually consumed when they were heated in boiling xylene.

The resulting organolithium species 184 reacted with various electrophiles to supply structurally diverse benzothiazines <88TL5229>.

systems. For example, benzothiazine 185 was reacted with n-BuLi followed by oxidation of the corresponding carbanion with MoOPH. A hydrolytic work-up gave tetrahydrocarbazole 186 in 55% yield (Scheme 49). 1.3.5 Aniline Synthesis Harmata and co-workers introduced a procedure for the reductive desulfurization of selected 2,1-benzothiazines with sodium amalgam, leading to the formation of the 2alkylanilines in high yields <94S142>. This method is regioselective and general. As an example, alkylation of 187 followed by treatment with Na/Hg resulted in the formation of the aniline 188 in 68% overall yield (Scheme 50). 1. n-BuLi TMS I N

They demonstrated that the C2-symmetric bis-benzothiazine (R,R)-197 was an effective ligand in the asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction. The best result in this case was the reaction of 198 and 199 in the presence of BSA, Pd2(dba)3 and (R,R)-197, which gave the product (S)-200 in 75% yield and 86% ee. More experimental data revealed that solvent effects are very important in this reaction (Scheme 57). Relatively nonpolar solvents resulted in good yields and enantiomeric excesses while reaction in CH3CN and CH2Cl2 gave only racemic products in moderate yields (Table 8).

Figure 10. X-ray structure of 201, a chiral, copper(I) complex of styrene Although the basis for the stereochemical outcome of asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction by bis-benzothiazine is not very clear <01OL3321>, bis-sulfoximines, the closely related bis-benzothiazines, and other ligands stereogenic at sulfur are important and potentially practical ligands for the future <03OL427; 01SL1878; 00S1; 01OL3321; 01JA3830; 03MI1>. In order to expand the scope of the chemistry associated with 197, the Harmata group has examined asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions using ligand (R,R)-197 <03JSMC349>. As a part of this research, the crystal structure of a chiral, copper(I) complex of styrene 201 was obtained, which suggested that edge-face interactions as well as stacking may be important in the recognition of enantiofaces of alkenes by chiral copper(I) complexes of 197 <03JSMC349>.

1.3.7 New Chiral Benzothiazine Ligand for Catalysis and Molecular Recognition A new chiral benzothiazine ligand 205 was synthesized by Harmata and co-workers <06JOC3650>. It could be converted into a chiral molecular receptor 207 in a simple way. This chiral species 207 could be used as a new class of chiral molecular tweezers. The synthesis of 205 commenced with the protection of the commercially available compound 202, which was then coupled with (R)-sulfoximine 77b using the one-pot, one-operation procedure <99AG(E)2419> affording enantiomerically pure benzothiazine 204. This was followed by deprotection to produce benzothiazine 205 in good yield.

Scheme 58 1.3.8 Application of 2,1-Benzothiazines in Natural Products Syntheses The Harmata group has shown that the benzothiazines prepared by the conjugate addition of sulfoximine carbanions to α,β-unsaturated esters <03JA5754> can be used as enantiomerically pure starting materials for the synthesis of natural products. The benzothiazine synthesis establishes a stereogenic center with complete fidelity at a postion alph to a benzene ring. There are a number of natural products that possess such stereogenic centers. The Harmata group has successfully applied the methodology to the synthesis of such compounds including (+)-curcumene 208 <03TL7261>, (+)-curcuphenol 209 <03TL7261>, erogorgiaene 210 <05TL3847>, pseudopteroxazole 211 <04OL2201; 05OL3581> and several related natural products.

Figure 11. Natural product targets. Pseudopteroxazole 211 is a member of the amphilectane class of diterpenes and was isolated from a marine soft coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae <99OL527>. Pseudopteroxazole 211 possesses considerable inhibitory activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv at a concentration of 12.5 ȝg/mL (97% growth inhibition). Given continuing global problems with respect to the treatment of tuberculosis, both the structure of 211 and its biological activity provide an impetus for syntheis. The total synthesis commenced with the coupling of ester 212 with (R)-sulfoximine (R)-77b to afford enantiomerically pure sulfoximine, which was then treated with LDA followed by a proton quench to produce benzothiazine 213 as a 10:1 mixture of diastereomers in good yield. Subjecting 213 to a twostep reduction/oxidation and spontaneous epimerization sequence afforded aldehydes 214a and 214b in a 1.6:1 ratio (Scheme 59). The mixture was treated with a Wittig reagent to provide 215a and 215b in 52% and 33% yields, respectively, as single stereoisomers. Me

Interestingly, treatment of diene 215a with methanesulfonic acid afforded 216 as a single diastereomer in 88% yield, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis (Scheme 60). The transformation of 216 into 217 started with an alkylation, followed by reductive desulfurization and triazene formation to afford compound 217 in 92% yield. Upon treatment with diiodomethane, triazene 217 was smoothly converted to aryl iodide 218 in 75% yield. Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck coupling of 218 led to the desired product 219b in 62% yield.

Stereoselective reduction of 219b was conducted using one of Pfaltz’s chiral catalyst to deliver compound 220 in 90% yield (Scheme 61). Demethylation of 220 with NaSEt afforded the phenol in 87% yield. Subsequent nitration of the phenol with concentrated HNO3 produced the corresponding nitrophenol in 84% yield. With the nitrophenol in hand, the last stage of the synthesis involved assembling the benzoxazole ring. Reduction of the nitrophenol with Zn dust, followed by treatment with methyl orthoformate and catalytic TsOH, completed the synthesis of pseudopteroxazole 211 in 65% yield for the last two steps (Scheme 61). After the successful synthesis of pseudopteroxazole 211, the synthesis of the structurally-related compound erogorgiaene 210, which also shows antituberculosis activity, was reported <01JNP100>. This synthesis was a formal synthesis of erogorgiaene using essentially the same methodology (Scheme 62) as that used for the synthesis of 211. Aniline 221 was converted into the iodide using triazene chemistry. A Sonogashira coupling reaction of the corresponding iodide followed by Swern oxidation and Wittig reaction afforded the

The synthesis of (+)-curcuphenol was accomplished by reduction of benzothiazine 94, followed by protection, desulfurization, reductive deamination and deprotection to give diol 223 in good yield.

2.1
OVERVIEW OF THE CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS OF PORPHYRINS
Interest in porphyrin chemistry started centuries ago with Man trying to understand why blood is red and plants are green <78MI1>. However it was only in 1929 that the macrocylic structure of a porphyrin was unambiguously demonstrated by Hans Fischer at his Munich school with the first synthesis of protoporphyrin IX. The iron complexes of such natural compounds play key roles in several vital functions (e.g., respiration and drug detoxification) and its magnesium complex is a precursor of chlorophyll a. As a result of this pioneering synthetic work Fischer was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1930 <94MI1>. Mainly after the second world war, chemists have looked for better synthetic methodologies leading to porphyrins and for the understanding of their biosynthesis, mode of action and catabolism. With the advent of synthetic porphyrins, potential applications in medicine, in catalysis and in other areas have become possible. Several research groups have been dedicating their efforts to the synthesis of simple porphyrins containing groups on meso- and/or betapositions of the macrocycle. Other topics of research have centred on the transformation of the periphery of the macrocycle via functionalization reactions including electrophilic substitutions, nucleophilic addition of alkyllithium reagents, peripheral reduction, oxidation and pericyclic reactions <00COC139; 00MI1>. Benzoporphyrins, chlorins (dihydroporphyrins) and bacteriochlorins (tetrahydroporphyrins) are important derivatives which can demonstrate significant medicinal applications. The search for new synthetic methodologies leading to such compounds is a target for many groups. Diels–Alder (DA) and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions are simple and very versatile transformations to introduce a wide range of substituents at the meso- and betapyrrolic positions of porphyrins, thus leading to promising derivatives obtained in many cases in one-pot transformations. The use of beta-vinylporphyrins as dienes in DA reactions has been known for decades and has been recently reviewed <03A107>. This review will focus only on the use of porphyrins as dienophiles in DA reactions as well as on the use of porphyrins and porphyrinic derivatives in 1,3-DC reactions.

PORPHYRINS IN CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS Porphyrins as dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions
The possibility of using porphyrins as dienophiles in DA reactions emerged in 1997 when Cavaleiro and coworkers <97CC1199> found that meso-tetraarylporphyrins 1a-d can behave as dienophiles in the presence of o-benzoquinodimethane, a highly reactive diene generated in situ by the thermal extrusion of SO2 from a sulfone by refluxing in 1,2,4trichlorobenzene, TCB, giving chlorins 2a-d in moderate yields (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1. DA reactions of porphyrins 1 with o-benzoquinodimethane. As well as the synthesis of chlorins 2a-c, the DA reactions of porphyrins 1a-c with obenzoquinodimethane gave two naphthoporphyrins 3 and 4 (Figure 1) resulting from the diand tetradehydrogenation reactions of the corresponding chlorins. On the other hand, the reaction with porphyrin 1d having pentafluorophenyl groups in the meso positions, afforded the chlorin 2d and a diastereomeric mixture of two bacteriochlorin bis-adducts 5d and 6d (Figure 2), showing that the presence of electron-withdrawing groups at the meso-position of the porphyrin greatly improve the DA reactions with o-benzoquinodimethane.

Figure 2. Bacteriochlorins 5d and 6d and bis-naphthoporphyrin 7.
A beta-substituted porphyrin, such as beta-nitro-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 1e, also reacts with o-benzoquinodimethane to give the corresponding nitrochlorin 2e, together with the naphthoporphyrin 4a and the bis-naphthoporphyrin (bisadduct) 7; the formation of these 4a and 7 derivatives imply HNO2 elimination and dehydrogenation reactions <06TL8437>. Subsequently, other publications have appeared involving the DA reactions of porphyrins with other dienes. For instance, the reaction of mesotetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 1d with the diene generated from pyrrole-fused 3sulfolene gave rise to the isoindole-fused chlorin derivative 8 accompanied by a mixture of stereoisomeric bacteriochlorins 9 (Scheme 2) <98CC2355>.

Scheme 2 DA Reaction of porphyrin 1d with a pyrrole-fused 3-sulfolene.
Furthermore, it was shown that porphyrin 1d can also react with a pyrazine o-quinodimethane derivative ( Scheme 3) <05TL2189>. However, in this case the reaction did not afford the expected DA adduct, the product being the porphyrin derivative 10 resulting from the tetradehydrogenation of the corresponding adduct. The porphyrin derivative 11 was also obtained although in minor amount; this product must result from a cyclization reaction between the beta-fused quinoxaline ring and the adjacent meso-aryl group. Also, bisadducts 12 and 13 were isolated; these are the result of site specific bisaddition to opposite pyrrolic rings followed by oxidative processes.

The DA reactions with o-benzoquinodimethane have also been extended to nickel(II) Nconfused porphyrin 14 to yield nickel(II) N-confused isoquinoporphyrin 15 ( Scheme 4) <02CC1816>. The reaction occurred selectively in the peripheral carbonnitrogen bond, showing that this bond is more reactive than the other carbon-carbon double bonds. This can be understood by the resonance contributions to the overall structures. Figure 3 shows two such resonance structures. In the canonical form II the C=N is both “cross conjugated” and in an iminium form which is known to be electron-deficient and an active dienophile <02CC1816>. Ph

Figure 3. Two canonical forms of N-confused porphyrin 14. Similarly, the DA reaction of o-benzoquinodimethane with the hexaphyrin 16, followed by treatment with DDQ, gave rise to the naphthohexaphyrin 17 <05AC(E)932>. This result revealed that the first addition of the diene took place selectively at the inner inverted betapyrrolic double bond, suggesting that this double bond is the most reactive position of the macrocycle. In minor amount the reaction also gave rise to a bisnaphthohexaphyrin. Curiously, this compound resulted from the selective addition of a second obenzoquinodimethane species to an outer beta-pyrrolic double bond of the naphthohexaphyrin 17, and is in agreement with the theoretical calculations that predicted that the second cycloaddition could not occur at the other side of the inner double bond of 17.

It has also been shown that polycyclic hydrocarbon derivatives can react successfully with porphyrins. In fact, meso-mono-, meso-di- and meso-tetraarylporphyrins react with pentacene providing chlorin-type derivatives in moderate to good yields, depending on the number, steric hindrance and electron withdrawing character of the meso-aryl groups (Scheme 5) <00TL3065>. In the particular scenario of the DA reaction of mesotetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 1d with pentacene (after 8 h at 200 ºC), chlorin 18d was obtained in 22% yield. This yield was improved to 83% and the reaction time reduced to 30 minutes by performing the reaction under microwave irradiation (after 3x10 min at 200 ºC) <05TL4723>. Moreover, using microwave irradiation, the same porphyrin 1d reacted with naphthacene (after 3x15 min at 180 ºC) providing a synthesis of the corresponding chlorin 19d (as a mixture of isomers), which could not be obtained by a procedure using conventional heating. DA reactions with polycyclic hydrocarbon derivatives have also been applied to other macrocycles. Lukyanets and coworkers have explored this methodology by adding the unsubstituted tetraazaporphine 20 to a series of anthracene derivatives (Scheme 6). For instance, the reaction with naphthacene (after 6 h at reflux) afforded the chlorin 21 and a tetraazabacteriochlorin (bisadduct) in small amounts <00JPP525>.

The same strategy provides a useful tool to derivatize corrole 22 and sapphyrin 25 (Scheme 7). In the case of corrole 22, the reaction with pentacene (after 6 h at 200 ºC) afforded mainly the dehydrogenated adduct 23; this is formed from the selective addition of pentacene to the beta-pyrrolic double bond near to the direct pyrrole–pyrrole link and subsequent dehydrogenation <04S1291>. In minor amount, the reaction also gave rise to the dehydrogenated adduct 24 resulting from an unexpected thermal [4+4] cycloaddition reaction. In the reaction with sapphyrin 25, adduct 26 was produced with high selectivity (MW, 1 h, 200 ºC), showing once again that the beta-pyrrolic double bond close to the pyrrole-pyrrole link contains the most reactive position of this type of macrocycle <06TL3131>.
2.2.2 Porphyrins as 1,3-dipoles in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions In 1995, Boyd and co-workers <95TL7971> covalently linked a porphyrin to fullerene C60 through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction involving the porphyrinic azomethine ylide 28 (Scheme 8). The ylide was generated in situ from beta-formyl-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 27 and N-methylglycine, and provided the porphyrin–C60 diad 29 in good yield.

Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions
Subsequently, other research groups have used this strategy for the construction of other porphyrinic diads. As an example, the porphyrinic azomethine ylide 28 (M = Ni) has been successfully trapped in 1,3-DC reactions with a range of dipolarophiles including Nphenylmaleimide, dimethyl fumarate, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, trans-β-nitrostyrene, 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone. In general, the reactions afforded the expected adducts, e.g. 30, in very good yields (Scheme 9) <02JOC726>. Exceptions were found in the reactions with 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone which only gave rise to the formation of the dehydrogenated adducts, e.g. 31. More recently, porphyrinic azomethine ylide 28 (M = Ni) has been trapped with isatin to give a spiro porphyrin derivative 32 (Scheme 9) <06SC2655>. O

Numerous studies have been reported concerning the use of 1,3-DC reactions as powerful tools for the construction of other systems employing porphyrins or chlorins as electron donors and fullerene as electron acceptor, mimicking the photosynthetic reaction centres. One of these studies involves the preparation porphyrin-(C60)2 triads 34a and 34b from the 1,3-DC reaction of a porphyrin having two formyl groups in the para position of the 5,10- or 5,15phenyl groups, with N-methylglycine and C60 (Figure 4) <98CL605>.

Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions
Hynninen and coworkers <99JCS(PT1)2403> used a similar approach to prepare phytochlorin-C60 diad 38 (Scheme 11). The protocol employed the pyrolysis of the natural chlorophyll a molecule 35, followed by transesterification and demetallation to furnish derivative 36. Subsequent oxidation of 36 with OsO4 and NaIO4 has allowed the synthesis of the formyl derivative 37, which was further used as precursor of the azomethinic ylide intermediate in the 1,3-DC reaction with C60 leading to the formation of diad 38. Photochemical studies revealed that this diad underwent a fast intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer in polar solvents such a benzonitrile <99JACS9378>. Based on studies showing that the close proximity between the porphyrin and the C60 is essential for the observation of an electron transfer process, Fukuzumi and co-workers have prepared the porphyrin-C60 diad 41, in which the C60-pyrrolidinyl moiety is directly connected to the meso position of the porphyrin macrocycle (Scheme 12) <03JPC(A)8834>. The strategy adopted for the synthesis of the starting porphyrin involved the 2+2 condensation of a meso-unsubstituted dipyrrylmethane with 3,5-di-tert-butylphenylsubstituted dipyrrylmethane and 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzaldehyde, to give 39, in 11.5% yield. Subsequent Ni(II) metallation, followed by Vilsmeier-Haack formylation and demetallation, gave rise to 40 which was used as the 1,3-dipole precursor; this dipole in the presence of Nmethylglycine and C60, yielded the expected diad 41.

Another interesting strategy for the construction of a porphyrin-C60 diad linked by a disilane chain was devised by Ito and coworkers (Scheme 13) <06BCSJ1338>. This method involves the use of the meso-iodo triphenylporphyrin 42, prepared by iodination of porphyrin 39 using a mixture of bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene-iodine <00OL131>. An iodo porphyrin 42 was reacted with 1,2-diethynyl-1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane using Sonogashira coupling conditions to give rise to derivative 43; this compound then reacted with Ar

p-iodobenzaldehyde using similar coupling conditions allowing the formation of porphyrin 44. This porphyrin was then allowed to react with N-methylglycine and C60, giving rise to the final diad 45. Fukuzumi and co-workers <03OL2719> have developed another strategy aimed at a synthesis of imidazoporphyrin-C60 diad 49 (Scheme 14). Using the Crossley approach <95JCSCC2379> as for the synthesis of 17,18-dioxochlorin 47, the Cu(II) complex of betanitro-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 1e was demetallated and reduced to the beta-amino derivative 46, and this was photo-oxidised and hydrolysed to give 47. Condensation of 47 with the terephthalaldehyde in the presence of excess of NH4OAc in a refluxing 1:1 mixture of AcOH-CHCl3 for 2 h, gave the expected derivative 48, which, with N-methylglycine and in the presence of C60 produced the corresponding imidazoporphyrin-C60 diad 49. Interestingly, the Zn(II) complex of that imidazoporphyrin-C60 diad has shown the longest lifetime in solution of the charge-separated state ever reported for donor-acceptor-linked diads.

In terms of synthetic methodologies for the preparation of porphyrinic azomethine ylides, the porphyrin moiety, in the examples above, was the carbonyl component. However, there are also examples where the porphyrin is used as the α-amino acid component. Lemmtyinen and coworkers <01JPP835> have devised a protocol, in which the phytochlorin 37 containing a formyl group was transformed into glycine derivative 50 via reductive amination (Scheme 15). In the final step, derivative 50 was reacted with benzaldehyde and C60, and gave rise to the phytochlorin–C60 diad 51.

Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions
A convenient route to N-(porphyrin-2-ylmethyl)glycine 52 was described by Cavaleiro and coworkers <06JOC8352> (Scheme 16); it involves the coupling of the Ni(II) complex of beta-formyl-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin with an excess of glycine methyl ester hydrochloride followed by reduction of the product imine with sodium borohydride and alkaline hydrolysis. Once synthesized, the Ni(II) complex of N-(porphyrin-2-ylmethyl)glycine, 52 was used as an azomethine ylide precursor; the latter was generated in the presence of paraformaldehyde and dimethyl fumarate, allowing the formation of diad 53 in 74% yield. Besides the use of porphyrins as azomethinic ylide derivatives, the porphyrin macrocycle can also be used to generate porphyrinic nitrile oxides 55 (Scheme 17) <04RCB(E)2192>. Thus, the treatment of oxime 54 with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of triethylamine, led to the formation of nitrile oxide 55, which was trapped in 1,3DC reactions with dimethyl maleate and 2,5-norbornadiene to afford 56 and 57, respectively. In the reaction with 2,5-norbornadiene, if an excess of 55 was used, then the corresponding bis-adduct was obtained in good yield.

Another example with porphyrinic dipolar species uses pyridinium salt derivatives as precursors of porphyrinic pyridinium ylides (Scheme 18) <05TL5487>. The procedure involves the reaction of porphyrin 58 with methyl bromoacetate, in refluxing chloroform, to give pyridinium salt 59. The latter, in the presence of K2CO3, reacts with 1,4-benzoquinone to yield only the mono-addition compound 60. Notably, when the reaction was performed in the presence of DBU, bis-addition occurred and the porphyrinic dimer 61 was the only isolated addition product.

Porphyrins as dipolarophiles in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddditions
Our first entry to the use of porphyrins as dipolarophiles in 1,3-DC reactions involved the reaction of porphyrins with azomethinic ylides, generated in situ from α-amino acids and aldehydes, to yield chlorins and isobacteriochlorins (bisadducts) <99CC1767, 05JOC2306>. In the particular scenario of the reaction of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 1d with the azomethine ylide, generated in situ from N-methylglycine and paraformaldehyde, in refluxing toluene during 15 hours, the pyrrolidinochlorin derivative 62 was obtained as the main product (Scheme 19), together with a small amount of isobacteriochlorin 63 (bis-adduct, Figure 5).

When a larger excess of the azomethine ylide precursors was used and the reflux was prolonged for 40 hours, the reaction afforded isobacteriochlorin 63 as the major adduct together with a small amount of bacteriochlorin 64 (Figure 5). This result demonstrates that the attack of the second azomethine ylide species to the chlorin macrocycle occurs preferentially at the adjacent β-pyrrolic double bond, yielding the isobacteriochlorin with high site selectivity.

This strategy has been successfully applied to other porphyrins, however the best yields were obtained with porphyrins having electron-withdrawing groups at the meso positions of the macrocycle <05JOC2306, 04JBCS923>. Knowing the great potential of such 1,3-DC with porphyrins, Gryko and co-worker <05OL1749, 06JOC5942> predicted that if two electron-withdrawing groups were placed in vicinal (β,β’) positions of the same pyrrolic unit of a porphyrin, then stable, locked chlorins could be synthesized in a regioselective way. As a result, they undertook the synthesis of a range of porphyrins to be used as starting materials in 1,3-DC reactions with azomethine ylides. The starting porphyrins were synthesised via 3+1 condensations of a tripyrrane (compound containing three pyrrolic units such as 65) with an α,α'-diformyl pyrrole. Thus, for the synthesis of the tripyrrane 65, they have performed the condensation of the aryl aldehyde with pyrrole (Scheme 20). On the other hand, the synthesis of the diformyl pyrrole 66 involved the dimerization of esters of acetoacetic acid using I2 or cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) to give the corresponding 1,4-diketones; these, when treated with NH3, gave rise to an α,α'-dimethylpyrrole derivatives, which were then transformed into the required

reactions with azomethinic ylides affording the locked chlorins 68 (Scheme 22). The results obtained showed that if electron-withdrawing groups are introduced at β-pyrrolic positions, the presence of electron-withdrawing groups at meso positions is no longer necessary for the success of a 1,3-DC reaction. The usefulness of such 1,3-DC reactions was also demonstrated when C- and Nglycoconjugated pyrrolidine-fused chlorins 69 and 70 were synthesised via azomethinic ylide cycloadditions with meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 1d (Schemes 23 and 24) <05S857>. While the reaction of 1d with the azomethinic ylide, generated in situ from the galactosyl configured aldehyde and N-methylglycine, afforded a diastereomeric mixture of two chlorins 69, the reaction of 1d with the N-substituted symmetrical azomethinic ylide, generated in situ from the galactose-substituted glycine derivative with paraformaldehyde, gave chlorin 70 as the only isolable product.

Another example illustrating the versatility of 1,3-DC reactions is concerned with the reaction of [36]octaphyrin 71 with azomethine ylide generated in the usual way from Nmethylglycine and paraformaldehyde, to give mono- and bis-pyrrolidine-fused adducts 72 and 73 (Scheme 25) <06OL1169>

Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions
Reaction of porphyrins with nitrones has also been studied and the results obtained showed that this is a versatile approach leading to the synthesis of isoxazolidine fusedchlorins (Scheme 26). For instance, chlorin 74 was successfully prepared from the reaction of the N-methylnitrone, generated in situ from N-methyl hydroxylamine and paraformaldehyde, with porphyrin 1d <00JPP532>. It is important to note that bis-addition also took place, yielding exclusively bacteriochlorin type derivatives 76 and 77 (Figure 6). This result contrasts with those obtained in 1,3-DC reactions with azomethinic ylides where isobacteriochlorins were obtained preferentially. In an attempt to explain the different behaviour of azomethinic ylides and Nmethylnitrones in 1,3-DC reactions with porphyrins and chlorins, a theoretical study has been carried out. The results obtained showed that while in the cycloadditions of porphyrins and chlorins with azomethinic ylides the processes are irreversible and consequently are kinetically controlled, the cycloadditions of such macrocycles involving N-methylnitrone are clearly reversible, showing that the products from such reactions should be thermodynamically controlled <07MI1>.

Glycoconjugated isoxazolidine-fused chlorins and bacteriochlorins were also elegantly synthesised using a 1,3-DC approach (Scheme 26). For instance, the galactosylnitrone reacted with porphyrin 1d in a small volume of toluene, at 60 ºC, to yield chlorin 75, accompanied by a small amount of two related bacteriochlorins <02TL603>. Extension of the 1,3-DC approach to the synthesis of novel pyrazoline-fused chlorin 78 by the reaction of β-nitro-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 1e with diazomethane has also been explored by Cavaleiro and co-workers (Scheme 27) <02S1155>. The resulting chlorin 78 could be further converted into the pyrazole-fused porphyrin 79 by treatment with DBU or into the methanochlorin 80 by refluxing in toluene. The same approach was subsequently used by Dolphin and co-workers <02CC2622> and also by Robinson and co-workers <03T499> to prepare pyrazoline cycloadducts from porphyrins and chlorins. Scheme 28 shows new chlorin derivatives (81 and 82) which have been obtained in this way. N N

Carbonylic ylides represent other class of 1,3-dipolar reactive species to be used in 1,3DC reactions with porphyrins. For example, reaction of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 1a with carbonyl ylide derived from tetracyanoethylene oxide gave chlorin 83 (Scheme 29) <02TL7281>. Moreover, a large range of 1,3-DC reactions with carbonyl ylides has been patented <04MI1>. The resulting adducts containing one or more cyano groups can be further derivatized aiming to obtain photosensitizing agents of interest in photodynamic therapy.

Porphyrins in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions
Nitrile oxides have been also widely applied in 1,3-DC reactions with porphyrins <05TL1555, 05S1030, 05S3632, 06H885>. The reactions using unstable nitrile oxides, such as benzonitrile oxide, have failed or have given products in low yields; however reactions using stable nitrile oxides usually gave good results. In this way, the addition of 2,6dichlorobenzonitrile, to meso-tetra(p-chlorophenyl)porphyrin 84 afforded chlorin 85, together with a minor amount of related bacteriochlorins (Scheme 30). Ar

Finally, it is important to mention that there are other related publications in which porphyrin macrocycles are not directly used as dipolarophiles but are transformed into new derivatives that can react with carbonyl ylides via ACE (alkene cyclobutene epoxide) reactions. This idea arose in 1997, when Russell and co-workers found that fused esteractivated cyclobutene epoxides 86 can be ring-opened to give carbonyl ylides 87, and that these can be trapped stereospecifically by ring-strained alicyclic dipolarophiles, such as 2,5norbornadiene, to form hetero-bridged norbornanes 88 in good yields, through ACE transformations (Scheme 31) <97CC1023>.

Gunter and co-workers have applied this methodology to the condensation of norbornene derivative 90 (block A, Scheme 32) with epoxide 94 (block B, Scheme 33) <98S593>. Thus, using the Crossley porphyrin-α-dione 47, condensation with 1,2,4,5benzenetetramine tetrahydrochloride and then the product with a strained dione, gave 90 as block A.

Typically, the synthesis of block B involves the Diels-Alder reaction of 1,4naphthoquinone with cyclopentadiene, followed by reduction and OH methylation to give 92 (Scheme 33). The next step involves a Ru-catalysed [2+2] cycloaddition of 92 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), followed by epoxidation (MeLi, ButOOH) to give 94 as block B. O

Finally, the condensation of blocks A and B under thermal conditions gave 96, where the porphyrin ring is rigidly linked to the dimethoxynaphthalene chromophore, through an ACE reaction (Scheme 34). The ACE reaction has proved to be an extremely versatile method for linking other chromophores to porphyrin macrocycles through a rigid spacer <99JOC4218, 01M406, 02T3445>.

2.3 CONCLUSIONS This survey has highlighted the importance of cycloaddition reactions as powerful tools for the functionalisation of meso and beta-positions of a porphyrin macrocycle. As shown above, porphyrins can be used as dienophiles and as dipolarophiles in DA and 1,3-DC reactions with a wide range of reactive dienes and 1,3-dipoles to achieve monoadducts of the chlorin type, as the main products, or related compounds. Furthermore, under certain conditions, bis-adducts of the iso- or bacteriochlorin types can be obtained depending on the 4ʌ species used. Porphyrins can also be used as precursors of 1,3-dipolar species, and this has been widely explored, mainly when targets are concerned with the synthesis of porphyrinic diads. Several novel porphyrin derivatives can then be obtained by following the mentioned cycloaddition methodologies; many of the new products fulfil the requirements to be considered as potential new drugs mainly for the detection and treatment (PDT) of cancer situations and in the photo-inactivation of microorganisms.

INTRODUCTION
This review covers the chemical literature on epoxides and aziridines for the year 2006. As in previous years, this review is not comprehensive but rather covers a selection of synthetically useful and interesting reactions. Three-membered ring systems, epoxides and aziridines in particular, are excellent synthetic intermediates. This is largely due to their ability to be converted into other functional groups such as diols, diamines, and amino alcohols to name but a few. While the synthesis of aziridines and epoxides can be quite challenging, the rewards for a selective and high yielding synthesis can be substantial. The chapter has been divided into two sections, one covering epoxides and the other covering aziridines. Each of these sections has been further divided into two additional sections, one on the synthesis of the heterocycle and one on the reactions of the heterocycle. There is some overlap between methods for the synthesis of epoxides and aziridines and any overlap has been noted in the text. 3.2 3.2.1
EPOXIDES Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides are possibly the most studied of the three-membered heterocycles. While a host methods for the synthesis of epoxides have been developed, work continues, especially in the development of more chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective methods. The development of new metal-based epoxidation catalysts continues to garner significant levels of activity. The use of the Mn-based catalyst, 1, with a water-soluble ligand provides excellent yields of the corresponding epoxides <06MI139>. A Mn-salen complex was modified by the addition of phosphonium groups at either end to render it water-soluble. The use of 5 mol% of this catalyst with NaIO4 as the oxidant provided a quantitative yield of cyclohexene oxide from cyclohexene.

A number of additional metal-catalyzed epoxidations have been reported in the past year. Platinum is a rarely used catalyst in oxidation reactions. The use of chiral Pt-catalyst 2 in the epoxidation of terminal alkenes provides the epoxide products in moderate yield and enantiomeric excess <06JA14006>. The chiral hydroxamide 3 is used with a Mo catalyst to provide the epoxide product in excellent yields and moderate enantioselectivity <06AG(I)5849>. A bis-titanium catalyst, 4, has also been used to epoxidize the usual set of alkenes with H2O2 as the oxidant <06AG(I)3478>. Substrate

The use of supported catalysts to carry out epoxidation reactions has seen considerable activity in the past year. A primary rationale for the use of supported catalysts is the ease in the reuse of the catalyst. The solid supports used range from silica gel to polystyrene. Quinine and other Cinchona alkaloids were linked to a soluble PEG polymer to generate dimeric polymers such as 5 <06TA330>. Reaction of chalcone with 5 using t-BuOOH as the oxidant provides the product epoxide in good yield and with good enantioselectivity. The PEG-linked ligand was reused three times with only minimal degradation in the enantiomeric excess of the product.

Another method for generating an epoxidation catalyst on a solid support is to simply absorb or non-covalently attach the catalyst to the solid support <06MI493>. Epoxidation of olefin 6 with mCPBA and catalyst 8 provides 7 in quantitative yields and with 89% ee. The immobilization of 8 on silica gel improves the enantioselectivity of the reaction providing 7 with 95% ee. Recycling experiments with silica-8 show a decrease in both yield and the enantiomeric excess for each cycle (45% ee after 4 cycles). This is attributed to a leaching of the catalyst from the silica gel. Two other solid supports, a Mg-Al-Cl-LDH resin (LDH) and a quaternary ammonium resin (Q-resin) were also examined. It was expected that ionic attraction between 8 and the LDH or Q-resin would allow the catalyst to remain immobilized through multiple cycles better than with silica gel. Both of these resins showed improved catalytic properties upon reuse of the catalyst (92-95% ee after 4 cycles). O NC 6

Vinyl epoxides are highly useful synthetic intermediates. The epoxidation of dienes using Mn-salen type catalysts typically occurs at the cis-olefin. Epoxidations of dienes with sugarderived dioxiranes have previously been reported to react at the trans-olefin of a diene. A new oxazolidinone-sugar dioxirane, 9, has been shown to epoxidize the cis-olefin of a diene <06AG(I)4475>. A variety of substitution on the diene is tolerated in the epoxidation, including aryl, alkyl and even an additional olefin. All of these substitutions provided moderate yields of the mono-epoxide with good enantioselectivity.

An exploration of structural modifications on the activity of prolinol catalysts has been published <06T12264>. More electron-rich aromatic rings on the prolinol scaffold improve the activity in the epoxidation of α,β-enones. The reaction of 10 with an enone and t-BuOOH provides the epoxy-ketones with moderate levels of enantioselectivity. Iminoiodinanes are not normally used as epoxidation reagents. An organocatalytic route to epoxides using an iminoiodinane as the oxidant has been reported <06T11413>. The reaction of 11 and NsNIPh with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes provides the target epoxides in excellent yield and with excellent enantioselectivity. A number of other oxidants had been examined with iodosobenzene being the optimal oxidant. However the substrate scope of this oxidant was not ideal. NsNIPh was found to slowly generate iodosobenzene under the reaction conditions and provide wide substrate scope. O

Sulfur ylides are a classic reagent for the conversion of carbonyl compounds to epoxides. Chiral camphor-derived sulfur ylides have been used in the enantioselective synthesis of epoxy-amides <06JA2105>. Reaction of sulfonium salt 12 with an aldehyde and base provides the epoxide 13 in generally excellent yields. While the yield of the reaction was quite good across a variety of R groups, the enantioselectivity was variable. For example benzaldehyde provides 13 (R = Ph) in 97% ee while isobutyraldehyde provides 13 (R = i-Pr) with only 10% ee. These epoxy amides could be converted to a number of epoxide-opened

A very interesting organocatalyzed one-pot Michael addition/aldol condensation/Darzens condensation has been reported for the asymmetric synthesis of epoxy-ketones <06JA5475>. An initial asymmetric Michael condensation between 16 and 17 is catalyzed by proline derivative 18. Intermediate 19 then undergoes an aldol condensation followed by a stereoselective Darzens condensation to provide epoxy-ketone 20 in moderate yield and with surprisingly good enantiomeric excess.

Reactions of Epoxides
The primary type of epoxide reaction remains the nucleophilic ring-opening reaction. Research on the development of novel catalysts or catalytic systems for epoxide opening continues to be a highly active area of study. Epoxides have been found to cleanly react with acetic anhydride to provide the diacetate under solvent-free conditions <06TL6865>. Treatment of epoxides with ammonium-12molybdophosphate and a slight excess of acetic anhydride (1.2 equivalents) provides the corresponding diacetate in excellent yields. A number of epoxides were examined and all worked quite well. It was also found that N-tosyl aziridines participate in this reaction providing the corresponding acetoxysulfonamides.

The conversion of epoxides to other three-membered heterocycles is often a multi-step process involving an initial ring opening followed by a ring closure. Two recent reports detail a one step conversion of an epoxide to a thiirane. Treatment of an epoxide with KSCN in PEG-400 provides the corresponding thiirane in excellent yields <06TL8471>. A related solvent-free approach uses NH4SCN and catalytic cyanuric chloride to provide the thiirane in equally good yields <06TL4775>. O

Typical epoxide ring-opening conditions with amine nucleophiles usually involves some type of acid catalyst. Consequently the development of milder catalysts for use with either sensitive epoxides or sensitive amines is of interest. Ring-opening reaction of epoxides with α-amino acid esters can be catalyzed by Ca(OTf)2 <06TL1733>. Reaction of 21 with an alanine ester provides the ring opened product 22 in moderate yields. Of note, the t-butyl ester is retained. This is a significant improvement over previously reported procedures in terms of yields. The products, 22, were prepared as hydroxyethylamine dipeptide isosteres. The use of Al(OTf)3 for the catalysis of epoxide opening by amines has also been reported <06TL6557>. O PhO 21

A polymeric version of Jacobsen’s Cr-salen catalyst has also been reported <06TA1638>. This polymeric catalyst worked well with a variety of amines, showed excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity with an enantiomeric excess of 90-98%. Most importantly the catalyst was reusable with no loss in stereoselectivity of the products. The synthesis of α,α-disubstituted amino acids is a difficult task and continues to attract attention. An efficient route that utilizes the ring-opening of an epoxide with azide has been reported <06TL9268>. Treatment of the sulfoxide substituted epoxide 23 with NaN3 provides intermediate azido aldehyde 24. This aldehyde was not isolated but oxidized to the acid and then the azide reduced to provide the α,α-disubstituted amino acid 25. The regioselectivity of this reaction was impressive with only one product reported.

The addition of Grignard reagents or other organometallic reagents to epoxides is a highly useful reaction for monosubstituted epoxides. However, when the epoxide is 2,3disubstituted, the selectivity of the addition is poor and overall yields are generally poor as well. A recent report on the addition of propenyl Grignard to epoxides identifies a set of conditions that improves regioselectivity <06JOC5826>. In addition, this method provides better yields than the corresponding alkynylalane. The reaction of 26 or 28 with an excess of propenyl magnesium bromide and catalytic CuI provides the ring-opened products 27 and 29 in excellent yield. The reaction, as expected, proceeds with inversion of stereochemistry. A large group, such as a TIPS, is necessary to provide good regioselectivity in the ring opening reaction. When the TIPS group in 26 was replaced with Bn, a 75:25 mixture of regioisomers was obtained.

An epoxide ring opening followed by a ring closing has been found to form the important 3-hydroxypyrrolidine ring system <06CC3226>. Treatment of amido epoxide 30 with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide initially opens the epoxide ring. The amide anion then closes on the carbon bearing the sulfoxonium group to provide the 3-hydroxypyrrolidine ring 31. Spiro- and bicyclic hydroxypyrrolidines were also prepared from the corresponding cyclic amido epoxides. NHTs

The product of the previous reaction provides a Baylis-Hillman type product via an intermolecular addition of an allenoate to an epoxide. The first example of a true MoritaBaylis-Hillman reaction of an epoxide has recently been reported <06CC2977>. Treatment of enone 34 with Me3P provides a good yield of the epoxide-opened product 35. The reaction must be carried out at low concentrations in order to avoid the generation of a variety of side products. When the terminal end of the epoxide is substituted (e.g. 34) the exo-mode of cyclization is the only product observed. When the terminal end of the epoxide is unsubstituted (e.g. 36), the endo-mode of cyclization predominates providing 37. O

The addition of a radical derived from xanthate 38 to butadiene monoepoxide provides the addition product 39 in good yields as an E/Z mixture of olefins <06AG(I)6520>.

Epoxides can also be reductively opened to form a radical. An example of an intramolecular cyclization of such a radical has recently been reported <06TL7755>. Treatment of 40 with Cp2TiCl generates an intermediate alkoxy radical, which then adds to the carbonyl of the formate ester. The product, 41, is formed as a 2:1 mixture of isomers at the anomeric carbon. This reaction is one of the first examples of a radical addition to an ester. The major byproduct of this reaction is the exo-methylene compound, 42, arising from a β-hydrogen elimination.

β-Lactones are highly useful intermediates in organic synthesis and are components of a variety of biologically active molecules. One of the primary routes to β-lactones is the catalytic carbonylation of epoxides. Most carbonylation reactions require fairly high CO pressure (200-900 psi) in order to provide reasonable yields of product. These types of conditions make this reaction not particularly viable in the typical organic laboratory. A Crsalen catalyst has been developed that allows the carbonylation of epoxides to be carried out at only 1 atm. of CO pressure <06OL3709>. Catalytic carbonylation of epoxides were performed with only 1 mol % of 43 in 1-2 hours at 100 psi of CO. More impressively, the carbonylation could also be carried out at 1 atm of CO (a balloon) and slightly longer reaction times with 2 mol% of 43. This method was compatible with a number of functional groups including esters, ethers, halides and olefins. THF O

Lithiated epoxides have been found to react with a number of different activated electrophiles. A new study examines the reactivity of lithiated epoxides with nitrones to prepare β,γ-epoxyhydroxylamines, 46, and oxazetidine, 47 <06OL3923>. Upon deprotonation of styrene oxide, the lithiated reactant was then added to nitrone 45 to form the β,γ-epoxyhydroxylamine 46 in good yield as a single diastereomer. A number of additional nitrones were examined as well and all provided similar yields of the β,γepoxyhydroxylamines. Treatment of 46 with additional base provided the 1,2-oxazetidine ring system 47 in excellent yield. Interestingly, none of the five-membered isoxazolidines from the 5-endo-tet cyclization were formed in this cyclization.

The acid catalyzed rearrangement of an epoxide to an aldehyde or ketone is a useful and widely used reaction. Two useful examples of this rearrangement are reported below. An interesting conversion of a vinyl epoxide to a dihydropyridine has been reported using this rearrangement methodology <06OL3473>. Treatment of the ester substituted vinyl epoxide 51 with Sc(OTf)3 catalyzes a ring opening of the epoxide to form an intermediate enol. This enol adds to the imine which subsequently cyclizes to form the dihydropyiridine 53. This reaction is limited by the need for a non-enolizable imine. I

AZIRIDINES
3.3.1
Preparation of Aziridines
Several reviews on the synthesis of aziridines have been published in the previous year. These publications include: a review on the silver catalyzed addition of nitrenes (among other intermediates such as carbene) across a double bond <06EJOC4313>; a review on sulfur ylide addition to imines to form aziridines <06SL181>; a review on nitrogen addition across double bonds <06ACR194>; a general review on functionalization of α,β-unsaturated esters with some discussion of aziridination <06TA1465> The addition of a nitrogen atom across a carbon-carbon double bond is a powerful method for the synthesis of aziridines in that two bonds are formed in a single step. The large amount of previous knowledge in the stereospecific synthesis of carbon-carbon double bonds also lends great utility to this general route of aziridine synthesis. The reactions of a nitrene, metal nitrene or nitrene equivalent with an olefin continues to attract attention. No doubt due to the potential payoff in terms of a generally universal aziridination method. The use of Rh2(NHCOCF3)4 has been shown to be exceptionally useful in the catalysis of aziridination reactions using trichloroethoxysulfonamide (TcesNH2) as the nitrogen source <06T11331>. The Tces group is readily removed from the final compound. In addition, this aziridination process works well on both styrene as well as aliphatic olefins. This reaction is rare in that similar aziridination methods only work well for styryl olefins. While nitrogen sources such as chloramine-T and PhI=NTs have been used for aziridination reactions, TsNCl2 has not been explored until now. The reaction of TsNCl2 with Pd(OAc)2 and K2CO3 provides the expected N-tosyl aziridines in good yields <06TL7225>. This reaction presumably proceeds through an initial amidohalogenation reaction catalyzed by palladium. The chloroamide is then converted to the aziridine via an intramolecular substitution reaction. Gold-based catalysis has attracted considerable attention in recent years. A gold-catalyzed aziridination reaction has recently been reported <06JOC5876>. A series of gold catalysts were examined for their ability to catalyze the aziridination of styrene with pnitrophenylsulfonamide (NsNH2). Styrene and phenyl-substituted styrenes provided the Nnosyl aziridines in good to excellent yields. Cinnamate however provided the aziridine product in only 25% yield. The use of other sulfonamides (e.g. tosyl, trichloroethyl) gave much lower yields of the aziridine product. Diphenylphosphorylazide (DPPA) has also been shown to be an excellent nitrene source in aziridination reactions <06JOC6655>. The reaction of styrene and substituted styrenes with DPPA and tetraphenylporphyrin cobalt (CoTPP) provided the N-diphenylphosphinyl aziridines in moderate yields. The use of metal-catalyzed aziridination methods with chiral ligands has also been reported. The copper-based system paired with ligand 56 provides the expected cinnamyl aziridine in good yield and excellent ee <06MI4568>. It is interesting to note that the t-butyl ester is obtained with 99% ee while the smaller methyl ester is obtained in only 88% ee. The binaphthyl ruthenium catalyst 57 has been found to aziridinate a number of olefins with moderate enantioselectivity <06TL1571>. Both p-nitrophenyl (Ns) and trimethylsilyloxy (SES) sulfonamides work well with this catalytic system. As is usually seen, the aziridination of aliphatic olefins proceeds in only 32% yield and 56% ee.

Non-metal catalyzed aziridinations have also been reported. These methods are often more broadly applicable than the metal-catalyzed methods. The use of N-methylpyrrolidine-2-one hydrotribromide (MPHT) and chloramine-T is an effective route for the synthesis of N-tosyl aziridines <06MI16>. The aziridination of olefins using t-BuOI and sulfonamides appears to be a general method for aziridination <06CC3337>. The t-BuOI is prepared in situ from tBuOCl and NaI. This is a broadly applicable method in that a wide variety of sulfonamides (tosyl, nosyl, SES) can be used with roughly equivalent yields. R2

The ability to directly prepare N-H aziridines through the addition of nitrogen to an olefin is quite rare. A recent report provides a method for the conversion of chalcones to the corresponding N-H aziridines <06SL2504>. The use of the hydrazinium salt 58 as a nitrogen transfer agent in combination with base proved to be a synthetically useful method for the synthesis of aziridine 59. Hydrazinium salt 58 can be readily prepared as either the iodide or nitrate salt, although the iodide synthesis was more convenient. The counterion of the hydrazinium salt as well as the base used were shown to be important factors. For electronrich aryl groups the iodide salt and t-BuOK gave significantly better yields. O

Intramolecular aziridination reactions overcome many of the inherent limitations associated with intermolecular aziridinations. The ring strain associated with the resulting bicyclic aziridines leads to increased reactivity and instability. Sulfamate-linked bicyclic aziridines can be readily prepared using rhodium catalysis <06T11331>. Treatment of sulfamate 60 with Rh2(oct)4 and PhIO provides sulfamate-linked fused-ring aziridine 61. The stereoselectivity was moderate in this cyclization and was explained by a chair-like transition state that minimized gauche and A1,3 interactions. Interestingly the seven-membered ring 62 could also be formed in good yield and with improved diastereoselectivity.

Allylic carbamates have also been cyclized to carbamate-linked fused-ring aziridines. The cyclization of homoallylic carbamates to the corresponding aziridines has not been successful until a recent report <06CC4501>. The reaction of homoallylic carbamate 63 with a rhodium catalyst and iodosobenzene provides moderate yields of the fused-ring aziridine 64. The major byproduct of this reaction is the C-H insertion product 65. The relative amounts of the aziridine to the C-H insertion product could be modulated by the choice of rhodium catalyst. The use of Rh2(OAc)4 provides a 68:14 ratio of aziridine : C-H insertion product, while Rh2(oct)4 provides a slightly better 71:6 ratio.

The conversion of azidoformates to fused-ring aziridines via the thermal generation of a nitrene has previously been reported. More recently, the photolytic conversion of a sugarderived azidoformate has been used to prepare fused-ring aziridines <06JOC8059>. Photolysis of azidoformate 66 at 254 nm provides aziridine 67 in excellent yield. The resulting bicyclic aziridine was reduced to provide oxazolidinone 68 in 95% yield. Oxazolidinone 68 was subsequently converted to L-daunosamine. OCH3 O

The synthesis of aziridines though an aza-Darzens or Darzens-like approach is a conceptually useful method for the formation of two bonds of an aziridine ring in a single reaction step <06T3694, 06JOC5881>. There are of course a number of variations on this theme. One very useful approach is the addition of a sulfur ylide to an imine. The addition of S-allyl derived sulfur ylides has been shown to be a good route to diastereomerically pure vinyl aziridines <06CC1833>. The reaction of the chiral N-sulfinyl imine 69 with an S-allyl sulfur ylide provides aziridines 70 and 71 in good yield as a 25:75 mixture.

The intramolecular addition of sulfur ylides to imines (e.g. 72) has proven to be an excellent route to fused-ring aziridines (e.g. 73) <06AG(I)7066>. The addition of a sulfonamide to a vinylsulfonium salt leads to the formation of the sulfur ylide 72. The ylide then undergoes an intramolecular addition to form the product fused-ring aziridine 73. This method has also been used for the synthesis of fused-ring epoxides.

The addition of halomethyl metal reagents provides another Darzens-like route to aziridines <06JOC9373>. Reaction of ICH2Cl with MeLi generates a chloromethyllithium reagent, which then adds to the imine 74. A subsequent intramolecular N-alkylation provides the aziridine 75. The isolation of a chloromethyl ketone byproduct demonstrated that the chloromethyllithium reagent is operative as opposed to a carbene.

A new methodology for the synthesis of aziridines via an intramolecular cyclization reaction at nitrogen has been reported <06CC3513>. Typical ring closing methods for the formation of aziridines rely upon a basic nitrogen displacing a leaving group on a beta-carbon as in the approaches above. The conversion of a hydroxylamine to an O-acyl hydroxylamine renders this nitrogen relatively electrophilic. Formation of the enolate of 76 initiates a 3-exotet ring closure by reaction of the nucleophilic enolate carbon upon the electrophilic Oacylated nitrogen. The yields of this process are quite good. The reaction also proceeds with very good diastereoselectivity, providing 77 and 78 in a 90:10 mixture. The reaction has also been shown to proceed with a chloramine <06CC4338>.

One of the most well used methods for the synthesis of aziridines involves a two (or sometimes more) step process in which an epoxide is opened by a nitrogen nucleophile. The resulting β-amino alcohol (e.g. 79) is then converted to an aziridine via a number of different processes. This method is generally not broadly applicable when a variety of different groups on the nitrogen of the aziridine are desired. A useful method to convert an epoxide to a number of different N-sulfonyl aziridines (e.g. 80) has been reported <06S425>. Simple addition of a sulfonamide to an epoxide provides high yields of 79 which is readily closed to form the aziridine.

A rather interesting approach to aziridines involves a reductive ring-opening of an azetidinone followed by ring closure <06OL1101>.

Reactions of Aziridines
The reactions of aziridines (like epoxides) are largely dominated by nucleophilic ring opening reactions. In the past year two reviews that cover ring opening reactions of aziridines have been published, including a review on ring opening reaction of aziridines with carbon nucleophiles <06EJOC4979>, and a review on the reactions of N-sulfonylaziridines <06JOC8993> which includes discussion of their ring opening reactions. The reaction of aziridines with oxygen nucleophiles is a common route to vicinal amino alcohols. The use of aldehydes as oxygen nucleophiles has been reported as a route to acyloxy amines <06OL1521>. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have also been used to catalyze the ring opening of aziridines by carboxylic acid anhydrides to produce 83 in moderate yields <06EJOC4787>. The same NHC has also been reported to catalyze the opening of aziridines by TMSX reagents where X = N3, Cl, and I <06TL4813>.

Amino sugars are important component of mono- and disaccharides that lend themselves well to synthesis through aziridine opening reactions. Glycal derived aziridines have been found to be useful intermediates for the synthesis of 4-amino-2,3-unsaturated sugars <06JOC1696>. Epoxide 84 was converted to the trans-dimesylate 85 through a series of standard transformations. Treatment of 85 with base and an excess of a glycosyl acceptor, 87, provides the glycoside 88 in excellent yield. The aziridine 86 was not isolated due to its

reactive nature. A number of simply glycosyl acceptors such as MeOH and i-PrOH were examined in this reaction and provided the expected 1,4 addition products in high yield. It is quite impressive that the use of a monosaccharide such as 87 as the glycosyl acceptor also provides the product in very good yields. O

Typically, the stereospecific formation of quaternary centers is as problematic as selective nucleophilic attack at the more substituted carbon of aziridines. Interestingly, a copper mediated methodology has been reported that does both <06OL5105>. Although N-tosyl aziridines show favorable results, N-nosyl aziridines gave the best results. The reaction of 89 with a variety of phenols yielded 90 in moderate yields. O OH N Ns

Another problem with the reaction of phenols with aziridines is the selectivity between Oalkylation vs C-alkylation. A recent report has identified that the use of (ArO)3B selects for C-alkylation <06OL2627>. Most of the examples reported in this paper showed less than 5% of the O-alkylation product. What is interesting about this report is the stereochemistry of the product. While the mechanism is not known, the product is formally an SN1 type product. Generally less than 5% was the product of inversion of configuration (the SN2 product). In addition to the N-tosyl, both the N-Cbz and N-Dpp aziridines gave excellent yields of aziridine-opened product.

Typically in ring-opening reactions of aziridines, the amine functional group is retained in the product molecule. An example of such a reaction where the amine group has been lost has recently been reported <06TL977>. An intramolecular Friedel-Craft reaction of aziridine 91 leads to the expected product as an intermediate. Under the rather drastic reaction conditions, the sulfonamide is lost leading to formation of the naphthalene ring.

It has been found that N-tosyl aziridines undergo oxidative addition to palladium complexes to form azapalladacyclobutanes <06JA15415>. Reaction of aziridine 95 with Pd2(dba)3 and 1,10-phenanthroline provides the palladacycle 96 in 45% isolated yield. This compound is an air stable solid. Treatment the palladacycle 96 with catalytic CuI is believed to open the palladacycle to form a copper intermediate, which cyclizes to cyclopentyl alkylpalladium intermediate 97. Loss of CuI then provides the product palladacycle 97 as an air stable solid. Several different aziridines were examined in this reaction. Only a limited set of olefin substituted aziridines provided the azapalladacyclobutanes (e.g. 96). NTs 95

A novel C-3 functionalization of methylene aziridines has also been reported <06T8447>. Selective deprotonation of 98 to form 99 and the reaction 99 with an electrophile yielded 100 in good yields. In this way, a variety of alkyl groups could be selectively placed on the aziridine. These researchers also found that (S)-α-methylbenzyl substituted methylene aziridines, 101, when deprotonated and reacted with a variety of electrophiles gave 102 in moderate yields and with good diastereoselectivity.

In an extension of previous work, additional examples of fused-ring aziridines were prepared through the cycloamination of olefins with an aziridine nitrogen <06JOC6067>. Fused-ring aziridines 104 and 105 were obtained through the cycloamination of aziridine 103. While 104 and 104 were obtained as an ~3:1 mixture, they were converted to exocyclic olefin 106 in excellent yields. These fused-ring aziridines will react with a variety of nucleophiles providing cyclic imine 107 in excellent yields. H O N ( )n 103

In a related example, a cycloamination of an olefin was carried out with an N-t-butyl aziridine to prepare morpholine derivatives <06JOC4678>. Upon an initial bromoamination reaction an aziridinium ion 110 is formed. This readily undergoes ring opening with bromide to form dibromomorpholine 111. While this is an interesting reaction, it does not appear to be general, as other groups on the nitrogen provided little to no product. Br

Researchers have found that the reduction of a variety of aziridine esters yields the corresponding aziridine aldehyde which dimerizes diastereoselectively <06JA14772>. The reduction of 112 with excess DIBAL yields the dimer 113, which is in equilibrium with the monomer 114. This molecule reacts as the monomer and both reduction to 115 or reductive amination to 117 proceed in quantitative yields.

The reactions of N-acyl aziridines can sometimes involve nucleophilic attack at the acyl group rather than the aziridine ring. This change in the more typical pattern of reactivity is dependent on a number of factors. An example of this type of change in reactivity has recently been reported <06TL2065>. Treatment of 118 with benzylamine provided a low yield of 119, the product of nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl. An examination of reaction conditions found that the use of a Lewis acid and a coordinating solvent such as Et2O or THF provided significantly better yields of 119. O

In a highly unusual reaction, treatment of 120 with an organolithium reagent provides amine substituted homoallylic alcohol 122 <06JOC8510>.

INTRODUCTION
The importance of four-membered heterocycles in many fields of Science (including Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, and Material Science) can hardly be overemphasized, and justifies a long lasting effort to work out new synthetic protocols. Condensing the vast amount of published material to less than 20 pages is an extremely demanding task. This, obviously, can only be done by strict selection and by applying a very dense style of writing. Oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles, in particular β-lactams, dominate the field in terms of the number of publications. This chapter covers selected relevant aspects in this area. 4.2
AZETIDINES, AZETINES, 3-AZETIDINONES, AND DIAZETINES
2-(1-Adamantyl)-2-methyl-azetidines have been synthesized and tested for their antiviral activity against influenza, being markedly active against influenza A H2N2 virus <06BMC3341>. The biological activities of an aqueous fraction extracted from Polygonatum odoratum of L-2-azetidinecarboxylic acid 1, purified from the extract, on the growth of several types of algae have been tested <06MI1>. Electrophilic amination of ketones and aldehydes in the presence of dibenzyl azodicarboxylate in dichloromethane, using L-2azetidinecarboxylic acid 1 as a catalyst, has been described <06TL1117>. The structure of 3fluoroazetidinium hydrochloride 2 has been explored both by X-ray diffraction analysis and DFT calculations, and the conformation of this molecule was shown to be significantly influenced by the through space C–F N+ interaction <06CC3190>. Aqueous phosphoric acid (85 wt%) is an effective, environmentally benign reagent for the deprotection of tert-butyl carbamates, including tert-butyl 1-benzhydrylazetidin-3-ylcarbamate 3 <06JOC9045>. The structure-property relationship of aminonitrofluorenes such as azetidine derivative 4, synthesized by copper-mediated Ullmann-type C–N bond formation between the free amine and the corresponding iodoarene, has been described <06S3425>. tert-Butyl hypoiodite (tBuOI) has been found to be a powerful reagent for the cyclization of N-alkenylamides leading to a variety of N-heterocycles, including 2-(iodomethyl)-1-tosylazetidine 5, under extremely mild conditions <06OL3335>.

N,N'-Carbonyldiimidazole-mediated cyclization of amino alcohols to substituted azetidines has been developed <06JOC4147>. N-Tosyl-3-halo-3-butenylamines underwent efficient Ullmann-type coupling with the catalysis of CuI/N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine to afford 2-alkylideneazetidines 6, which could be readily converted into the corresponding βlactams by oxidation with O3 <06OL5365>. 6-Vinyl oxazinanones undergo catalytic, diastereoselective, decarboxylative ring contraction to form vinyl azetidines 7 in good yield <06OL3211>. N-(Alkylidene or 1-arylmethylidene)-2-propenylamines have been regiospecifically functionalized to novel N-(alkylidene or 1-arylmethylidene)-3-bromo-2fluoropropylamines, which proved to be excellent precursors for 3-fluoroazetidines 8 <06JOC7100>. The one-pot formation of 1,3-disubstituted azetidines via the reaction of amine nucleophiles with in situ prepared bis-triflates of 2-substituted-1,3-propanediols have been demonstrated <06JOC7885>.

The resulting chloroazetidines were excellent building blocks for the synthesis of different 3-substituted azetidines through nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine by different carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen nucleophiles in good to high yields <06T6882>. Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid 10 has been obtained by treating a trichloromethyl ketone-derived Mannich adduct with aqueous NaOH in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The reaction is considered to proceed via a gem-dichlorooxirane intermediate. Intramolecular ring opening affords the azetidine ring <06AG(E)3146>. Enantio- and diastereomerically pure cis-2,3-disubstituted azetidinic amino acid derivatives have been obtained by intramolecular anionic ring-closure <06SL781>. The electroreduction of an aromatic imino ester prepared from (S)-glutamic acid in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane and triethylamine afforded the four-membered cyclized product 11, a mixed ketal of cis-2,4-disubstituted azetidine-3-one, stereospecifically <06OL1323>.

5.1.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes the advances in the chemistry of thiophenes, selenophenes and tellurophenes reported during the year 2006. The remarkable productivity in this field is manifested not only in all contributions devoted to fundamental reactivity and properties, but also by the numerous papers dealing with applications of thiophene containing molecules, for instance in medicinal chemistry and materials science. With the objective of providing an overview of general interest, selected examples illustrating the progress in these specialized areas will also be discussed briefly. However, the main focus will be directed towards general ring synthesis and reactions of thiophene derivatives. Several useful specialized reviews have appeared during the reporting period of this chapter. The chemistry of thienothiophenes <06AHC(90)125> and thienopyrimidines <06AHC(92)83> has been discussed in detail, whereas accounts of related interest highlight the field of thiaheterohelicenes <06OBC2518> as well as similar fused thiophene systems <06AG(E)8092>. 5.1.2 THIOPHENE RING SYNTHESIS The boronic ester 1, a useful partner for Suzuki couplings, has been prepared by exposure of the 2-fluorobenzaldehyde 2 to ethyl mercaptoacetate in the presence of a base under microwave irradiation <06JOC3959>. In addition, base induced reactions between ethyl mercaptoacetate and 2-aryl-1-chloroacrylonitriles <06RJO238>, hetarylacetonitriles <06CHC594>, or 6-chloropyrimidine-5-carbaldehydes <06JHC1629> resulted in series of ethyl 3-amino-5-arylthiophenene-2-carboxylates, 2-amino-3-hetaryl-4(5H)oxothiophenes, or thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates, respectively. Annulation of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile with ethyl mercaptoacetate gave ethyl 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyrazine2-carboxylate in excellent yield <06T11124>. A stepwise sequence involving substitution of electron deficient 2-nitrobenzamides with methyl mercaptoacetate, followed by conversion of

A one-pot variant of the Gewald thiophene synthesis involving aryl alkyl ketones provided a series of 2-amino-4-arylthiophene derivatives <06SL2559>, whereas new conditions for the Knoevenagel/Gewald sequence have also been established. This approach utilized hexamethyldisilazane and acetic acid for the condensation step, followed by treatment of the resulting intermediate with sulfur in the presence of NaHCO3, giving for instance 2-amino-3-cyanothiophene derivatives <06T11311>. The Gewald reaction has also been employed for preparation of 2-amino-5-(phosphonomethyl)thiophenes <06PSS601>. In addition, a variant using a functional ionic liquid as a soluble support leading to 2aminothiophene-3-carboxylates has been developed <06H(68)375>. Yet another “classical” thiophene synthesis, namely the reaction of 1,4-diketones with Lawesson’s reagent, has been employed for the construction of the indeno[1,2-b]thiophene skeleton <06JHC629>. The precursor 3 served as a starting material for a series of trisubstituted thiophenes in a study towards progesterone receptor modulators, giving for example the product 4 upon reaction with an appropriate bromoketone. The fact that rather complex thiophene derivatives could be prepared in a straightforward manner compensates for the low overall yields <06JHC1391>. N O N

A series of benzo[b]benzo[2,3-d]thiophen-6,9-diones 12 has been prepared in modest yields by palladium mediated cyclization of the precursors 13.

Many of the structures display interesting properties, and could be useful in design of new electronic devices. For example, it has been shown that the photochromic properties of the system 57 may be modulated by addition of fluoride ions, which shifted the absorption maximum from 655 to 490 nm <06OL3911>. Diarylethenes featuring thiophene units bearing phenolic and pyridyl substituents have been prepared, and were demonstrated to exhibit pKa changes upon irradiation <06CEJ4283>. Self assembly at different temperatures was observed during studies of dithienylethenes possessing aryl substituents extended with hexaethylene glycol chains in aqueous solution, resulting from different aggregation properties of the open and closed forms of the system <06JOC7499>. Further extensions involve design of dithienylmaleimide switches incorporating ferrocene moieties controllable by irradiation or electrochemical redox reactions <06TL9227>, or molecular switches based on dithienylperfluorocyclopentene bearing imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline units <06T10072>. In addition, it has been demonstrated that photochromic cyclopentenes based on benzo[b]thiophene-S,S-dioxide units display high fatigue resistance <06CC1881, 06T5855>. Studies of the photochromic properties of an unsymmetrical perfluorocyclopentene bearing one benzo[b]thiophene system and an indene unit <06TL1267> or symmetrical systems with two thiophene units bearing fluorophenyl groups <06TL3167> have also been carried out.

For example, a series of 2-amino-3-(3ƍ,4ƍ,5ƍtrimethoxybenzoyl)-5-arylthiophenes <06JMC3906> or 3-amino-2-(3ƍ,4ƍ,5ƍ-trimethoxybenzoyl)-5-arylthiophenes <06JMC6425> has been identified as a new type of antitubulin agents, whereas it was shown that (S)-1-(2-aminocarboxyethyl)-3-(2-carboxythiophene-3ylmethyl)pyrimidine-2,4-dione displayed high potency towards GLUK5-containing kainate receptors <06JMC2579>. Other studies led to development of the molecule 78 as a hepatitis C virus polymerase inhibitor <06JMC1693>, 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylates as adenosine A1 allosteric enhancers <06BMC2358>, N-glycolsyl-thiophene-2-carboxamides for proliferation of bovine aortic endothelial cells <06BMCL1316>, 5-(pyrazol-5-yl)thiophene2-carboxamides as selective calcium-release-activated calcium channel inhibitors

A series of monocyclic thiophenes, for instance 79, displayed activity as tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors <06BMCL4941>. A related set of 5-substituted 3-aryl-4-cyanothiophene-2-carboxylic acids was designed as AMPA receptor allosteric modulators <06BMCL5057>. It should also be mentioned that 2,5-diphenylthiophene derivatives bearing hydroxy and amine substituents have been studied as compounds for ȕamyloid plaque imaging <06BMCL1350>. In addition, a theoretical investigation probing the structure–activity relationships in a series of nitrothiophenes has also appeared <06BMC8099>. OH N

A number of benzo[b]thiophene compounds have also attracted attention. The system 80 has been studied as as a Į7 nicotinic receptor partial agonist <06JMC4374>, whereas the benzo[b]thiophene derivative 81 displayed antitumor effects < 06JMC3143>. A collection of benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides was evaluated as antagonists of the human H3-receptor <06BMCL3162>. In addition, (arylamino) benzo[b]thiophenes were investigated as antioxidants <06BMCL1384>. It has also been shown that the molecule 82 displayed high affinity for the dopamine D3 receptor <06BMC5898>. Other related work involves design of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyran derivatives for inhibition of hepatitis C virus NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase <06BMCL457>, 9-benzylidene-naphtho[2,3-b]thiophen-4-ones as antimicrotubule agents <06JMC7816>, and some cytotoxic thioaurone based structures <06CPB350>. Studies of tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene derivatives as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase <06BMCL100>, and 2-acylamino-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3carboxamides as FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors <06BMCL3282> have also appeared.

There are also many fused thiophene derivatives incorporating other heterocyclic units which exhibit interesting pharmacological properties. The thieno[2,3-b]pyrrole 83 has been identified as an allosteric inhibitor of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase <06BMCL4026>, whereas a series of thienopyrroles has been investigated as glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors <06BMCL5567>. A study on thienopyrazole compounds as kinase inhibitors has also been reported <06BMCL96>. The thieno[2,3-b]thiophene fragment may be found in the antitumor compound 84 <06BMC2859>, and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors <06BMC2162>. Other interesting developments in this context include studies of 2-amino-3-

The thieno[2,3-b]pyridone 85 represents a series of similar compounds that has been identified as inhibitors of [3H]glycine binding to the NMDA receptor <06JMC864>, whereas a set of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-4-ones has been evaluated as non-peptide luteinizing hormonereleasing receptor antagonists <06JMC3809>. A nice example of bioisosterism was demonstrated by preparation of the thieno analogue 86 of the alkaloid febrifugine, which displayed potent antimalarial effects <06JMC4698>. Studies of related interest feature thienopyrimidine structures as melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 antagonists <06JMC7108>, 06JMC7095>, antibacterial compounds <06BMCL4951>, or partial agonists for the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor <06JMC3888>.

SELENOPHENES AND TELLUROPHENES
At present, the chemisty of selenophenes and tellurophenes is a relatively scantily studied area. Nevertheless, a number of new valuable contributions dealing with their chemistry have emerged. Electrophilic cyclization of 1-(1-alkynyl)-2-(methylseleno)arenes provides a route to a variety of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[b]selenophenes, as illustrated by the preparation of the system 88. Other useful electrophiles for similar reactions are I2 or NBS <06JOC2307>. Similar chemistry has also been employed in preparation of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[b]selenophenes on solid phase <06JCC163>. In addition, syntheses of 2,3dihydroselenolo[2,3-b]pyridines have been achieved using radical chemistry <06OBC466>.

In similarity to their thiophene counterparts, halogenated selenophenes or tellurophenes are useful substrates for transition metal catalyzed reactions. Apart from a protocol for preparation of 2-arylselenophenes by Suzuki coupling of 2-iodo- or 2-bromoselenophene with aryl boronic acids, a route to 2-aroylselenophenes has been devised. For example, treatment of 2-iodoselenophene 91 with (4-methoxyphenyl)boronic acid under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide gave the product 92 in good yield <06JOC3786>. A copper mediated amidation protocol involving 2-iodoselenophene has also appeared <06JOC1552>. Moreover, it has been shown that variants of Sonogashira coupling of 2-bromo- or 2iodotellurophene derivatives offer efficient routes to a variety of 2-alkynyltellurophenes <06SL3161, 06TL2179>. It has also been demonstrated that homocoupling of 5-aryl or 5heteroaryl-2-bromoselenophenes in the presence of the system (Bu3Sn)2/Pd(PPh3)4 provides excellent yields of the corresponding 5,5ƍ-diaryl-2,2ƍ-diselenophenes and their heteroaryl substituted analogues <06TL795>.

5.2.1
INTRODUCTION
The synthesis and chemistry of pyrroles, indoles, and additional fused pyrrole and indole ring systems reported during the past year (2006) are the subjects of this review. Pyrroles and indoles are amongst the most studied heterocyclic ring systems due to their diverse biological activity and materials science applications. Page restrictions limit this review to selected advances. In keeping with the past few years, pyrroles and indoles are treated separately. Review articles will be mentioned at the beginning of the relevant sections.

Intramolecular Approaches
Intramolecular nucleophilic additions by nitrogen functional groups onto pendant alkynes and allenes represent an important class of type Ia approaches to functionalized pyrroles. A platinum-catalyzed (PtCl4) cyclization of homopropargyl azides provided an entry to 2,5disubstituted pyrroles and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles (fused pyrroles) <06OL5349>. The addition of a carbonylation step extended a pyrrole synthesis to pyrrole-2-acetic acid derivatives <06ASC2212>. Treatment of enyne amine 1 with palladium diiodide in the presence of CO and methanol produced pyrrole-2-acetic ester 2 via a 5-exo-dig cyclization, oxidative carbonylation, and isomerization.

A ring opening reaction of β-lactams promoted by methoxide generated nitrogen nucleophiles in situ that subsequently added to proximal allenes producing trisubstituted pyrroles <06CC2616>. In the event, treatment of β-lactam 3 with MeONa led to pyrrole-2acetic ester 4 after cleavage of the amide bond, 5-exo-dig cyclization, and loss of methanol.

A thermal ring opening reaction of an imine-substituted cyclopropene led to a mixture of 2,3,4-trisubstituted and 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyrroles <06TL5793>. Two type Ia syntheses of β-hydroxypyrroles have appeared. An aza-Nazarov cyclization of 1-azapenta-1,4-dien-3-ones produced β-hydroxypyrroles including 2,2’-bipyrroles <06EJO5339>. A second approach to a β-hydroxypyrrole involved an intramolecular N-H insertion into a rhodium carbene derived from the decomposition of a diazoketone <06JOC5560>. On the other hand, the photochemical decomposition of the diazoketone led to pyrrolidin-2-ones. Intramolecular condensation reactions of unsaturated γ-aminocarbonyl compounds provide regiospecific methods for the preparation of highly functionalized pyrroles. This strategy was utilized to prepare pyrrole-fused tetrathiafulvenes <06S2815>. In the event, a two-step reductive amination of aldehyde 5 gave sulfonamide 6. Treatment of 6 with Amberlyst 15 promoted an intramolecular condensation leading to fused pyrrole 7. Intramolecular condensation reactions of substituted γ-aminoacetals followed by oxidation with DDQ provided the corresponding pyrroles <06OL3585>. The former were prepared by nucleophilic additions of ketene silyl acetals onto imines. An intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of unsaturated γ-azidoketones provided a regiospecific route to 4-amino- and 4alkyoxy-2-trifluoromethylpyrroles <06JOC6996>. Similarly, an aza-Wittig sequence involving γ-azido-β-hydroxyketones provided pyrrole-2-acetic esters <06JOC4965>. OHC

On the other hand, treatment of 8 with the non-nucleophilic base DBU gave the 4unsubstituted pyrrole product 10. In a different study involving a structurally related vinylogous amide (no S), an acid-promoted (p-TsOH, AcOH, or POCl3) intramolecular condensation reaction produced a 2-benzoylpyrrole derivative <06T8243>.

A base-mediated type Ib cyclocondensation of imino chlorides, derived from treating the corresponding N-allylamides with triphenylphosphite-chloride, provided 2-aryl- and 2,3diarylpyrroles <06S995>. A novel intramolecular photocycloaddition involving vinylogous amides and allenes led to an interesting type Ib entry to functionalized pyrroles <06OL4031>. For example, photolysis of allene 11 provided fused pyrrole 12 via a [2+2] cycloaddition and retro-Mannich reaction. O

Ring closing metathesis (RCM) continues to enjoy significant attention directed at the preparation of heterocycles including type Ic syntheses of pyrroles. 2-Phosphonopyrroles were prepared utilizing an oxidative RCM as the key step <06JOC4006>. For example, treatment of 4-aza-1,6-diene 13 with Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst in the presence of the oxidant, tetrachloroquinone (TCQ), produced pyrrole 14. Microwave-assisted RCM reactions involving diallylamines were utilized to provide amino acid pyrrole derivatives (i.e., 15) and N-arylpyrroles <06TL3893>.

A McMurry coupling reaction involving 3-aza-1,5-dicarbonyl compounds gave 2,5dihydro-3,4-diarylpyrroles <06SL490>. The latter were converted into the corresponding 3,4-diarylpyrroles by irradiation (Hg lamp, 500 W) in acetonitrile. Intramolecular condensation reactions involving enaminones and carbonyls (or their synthetic equivalents) provides another class of type Ic approaches to pyrroles. Treatment of enaminone 16 with TFA provided fused pyrrole 17 <06TL2151>. 16 was prepared utilizing an aza-Wittig reaction between 1,3-cyclohexanedione and 2-azido-1,1-diethyoxyethane. An alternate synthesis of 17 was achieved utilizing an oxidation of a β-hydroxy enaminone promoted by palladium(0) and mesityl bromide <06T8533>. A number of different fused pyrroles were prepared utilizing this methodology. O

For example, treatment of iodoacrylate 19 and trimethylsilylphenylacetylene 20 with palladium acetate led to the formation of pyrrole-2carboxylate 21 with excellent regioselectivity. 19 was prepared by iodinating (Niodosuccinimide) the corresponding commercially available dehydroamino ester.

A Knorr-type pyrrole synthesis involving the condensation between α-amino-β-ketoesters and β-ketonitriles provided β-cyanopyrroles <06OPRD899>. The former amine substrates were prepared by reduction of the corresponding α-isonitroso-β-ketoesters with Zn/HOAc. Following the communcation in 2004, a full report appeared that described type IIac cyclocondensation reactions between dihydroisoquinolines and α-nitrocinnamates leading to complex fused pyrroles <06JOC9440>. The latter were converted into the lamellarin alkaloids and related analogues. An oxidative radical coupling promoted by tetra-n-butylammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (TBACN) between β-aminocinnamate 22 and enamine 23 provided pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate 24 <06T2235>. Dimerization of the β-aminocinnamates provided symmetrical pyrroles.

Two unique type IIad syntheses of pyrroles that were reported both involved cyclopropane fragmentations. The first allowed for a synthesis of 2-arylpyrroles <06SL2339>. In the event, treatment of stannylcyclopropane 25 with n-BuLi followed by benzonitrile produced 2-phenylpyrrole 26 via tin-lithium exchange, addition to the nitrile, ring fragmentation of ketimine intermediate, intramolecular condensation, and loss of dibenzylamine. 1. n-BuLi 2.

The preparation of 2-aminopyrroles was accomplished with type IIae zinc-catalyzed cyclocondensation reactions between β-cyanoketones and primary amines <06T1452>. Type IIae cyclocondensation reactions between primary amines and 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds (Paal-Knorr) or 2,5-dialkoxytetrahydrofurans (Clauson-Kaas) continue to remain the most utilized de novo approaches to functionalized pyrroles. An investigation into the utility of metal triflates in promoting the Paal-Knorr synthesis identified 1 mol% Sc(OTf)3 to be superior <06TL5383>. The preparation of a library of tetra-substituted pyrrole-3carboxamides was accomplished utilizing a Paal-Knorr cyclization within a parallel solutionphase sequence <06JCC491>. A few novel approaches for generating 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds appeared in reports aimed at preparing substituted pyrroles. The 1,4carbonylative addition reactions of arylboronic acids to methyl vinyl ketone catalyzed by a Rh(COD)2BF4 provided 1,4-diketones <06T11740), while the reductive ring opening of 3Hfuran-2-ones with DIBAL gave 1,4-ketoaldehydes <06H(68)1121>.

Pyrrole-substituted 1,4-diketones were prepared utilizing the Tsuji-Wacker oxidation of the corresponding homoallylic ketones <06OL6107>. The success of the reaction depended on protection of the pyrrole nitrogen as a sulfonamide. In the event, treatment of 2ketopyrrole 30 with PdCl2 and CuCl in an oxygen atmosphere gave 1,4-diketone 31. The latter underwent a cyclocondensation with allylamine in the presence of stoichiometric TiCl4 giving 2,2’-bipyrrole 32 which was converted into a 4-aminoprodigiosin analogue. The Paal-Knorr cyclocondensation has been exploited to prepare a number of biologically active 1,2-diarylpyrroles including analgesics <06AP670>, anti-inflammatory agents <06BMCL3657>, and antimycobacterial agents <06JMC4946>. The retro-Paal-Knorr ring opening reaction leading to 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds was accomplished by heating N-substituted pyrroles in a citrate buffer <06SL1428>. The sequence was coupled with a forward Paal-Knorr reaction enabling the exchange of the Nsubstituent on pyrroles. The Clauson-Kaas pyrrole synthesis was adapted to a soluble polyglycerol (PG) support <06OL403>. Electrochemical oxidation of furan 33 in the presence of methanol followed by hydrogenation gave 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran 34. Cyclocondensation with primary arylamines gave N-arylpyrroles 35.

A milder Clauson-Kaas pyrrole synthesis was reported that alleviated the need for acid or heat <06TL799>. The innovation involved the hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran giving 2,5-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran. The latter was converted into pyrroles by treatment with primary amines in an acetate buffer. The Clauson-Kaas pyrrole synthesis was studied utilizing a K-10 montmorillonite acid catalyst and microwave irradiation <06OPP495>. Mild reaction conditions (cat. p-TsOH) allowed for the preparation of pyrrole-3-carboxaldehydes from 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran-3-carboxaldehydes <06S1494>. A mixture of metals was utilized to promote a type IIae synthesis of penta-substituted pyrroles <06OL2151>. Treatment of enyne 37 with a Ag(I) catalyst followed by BnNH2 and a Au(I) catalyst gave pyrrole 38 via a Claisen-type rearrangement and cyclocondensation.

For example, treatment of cyclopentanone 39 and benzylamine with AuCl and AgOTf gave fused pyrrole 40. A coppercatalyzed domino approach to complex pyrroles was developed <06AG(I)7079>. For example, treatment of iodoenyne 41 with BocNH2 in the presence of CuI and N,Ndimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) gave fused pyrrole 42 via an amidation followed by a 5endo-dig cyclization.

Treatment of doubly activated cyclopropane 43 with benzylamine in the presence of magnesium sulfate led to complex pyrrole 44 via a nucleophilic cleavage of the cyclopropane ring, intramolecular condensation, and isomerization of the exocyclic π-bond.

A type IIbc approach to pyrroles was employed in the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles <06S1433>. The key step involved a formylation with the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent followed by a cyclocondensation of the putative iminium intermediate. Type IIbd pyrrole syntheses fall into three general categories: (1) Hinsberg-type; (2) azomethine ylide cycloadditions; and (3) isocyanide-based cyclocondensations. The Hinsberg pyrrole synthesis, the cyclocondensation between iminodiacetates and oxalates, has been further exploited in the total synthesis of the lamellarins <06T594, 06TL3755>. Azomethine ylide cycloadditions have been utilized to prepare a number of novel fused pyrroles including pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines <06CHJC279, 06TL1469> and pyrrolo[1,2b]pyridazines <06SL804>. Fused hydroxypyrroles were obtained in cycloaddition reactions with trimethylsilylketenes (TMS ketene) <06TL1469>.

The generation of azomethine ylides generated by the ring-opening of aziridines has been studied in supercritical CO2 <06TL5475>. The generation of non-stabilized azomethine ylides was realized utilizing an unprecedented 1,4-stannatropic shift <06CC526>. For example, heating thioamide 45 in the presence of DMAD produced pyrrole 46 via a cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide intermediate followed by loss of the sulfanyl group. Highly functionalized pyrroles continue to be prepared utilizing type IIbd cyclocondensation reactions between activated isocyanides and alkenes/alkynes. Cyclocondensations reactions involving tosylmethyl ioscyanide (TosMic) have been utilized to prepare pyrroles for study as reverse transcriptase inhibitors <06CMC1379> and neurotransmitters <06BMCL5203>. The preparation of 2-tosylpyrroles was realized via reactions between TosMic and alkynes run in the presence of triphenylphosphine <06HCA923>. An important solvent effect was discovered during an investigation into the Barton-Zard pyrrole synthesis (isocyanoacetates + nitroalkenes or β-nitroacetates) <06TL5481>. It appears that the THF stabilizing agent, BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), inhibits this cyclocondensation. Much higher yields were obtained using distilled THF or MTBE as the solvent. Finally, the Barton-Zard pyrrole synthesis has been utilized to prepare pyrrole Weinreb amides <06JOC6678>, a useful precursor to pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes and 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. The reaction between isocyanide 47 with nitroalkene 48 in the presence of DBU gave pyrrole Weinreb amide 49. The latter was converted into the corresponding pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde 50 by treatment with LiAlH4. Oxidative cleavage of the formyl group gave 3-pyrrolin-2-one 51. Ph Me N OMe

A novel ring opening reaction of isoxazoles led to the formation of functionalized pyrroles <06S1021>. For example, treatment of isoxazole 52 with DBU led to the formation of pyrrole 53. A solid-phase synthesis of 3-amino-2,5-dicarboxylates was accomplished by transformation of pyrrol-3-one 54 <06JCC177>.

The introduction of N-protecting groups (i.e., Boc, sulfonyl, benzyl, trialkylsilyl, N-amino, and N-amido) attenuates the reactivity of the pyrrole nucleus and this topic has been extensively reviewed <06T11531>. The N-alkylation of pyrrole has been investigated in an ionic liquid (1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) using potassium carbonate as the base <06TL2435>. Treatment of pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylates with chloramine (NH2Cl) in a biphasic system and in the presence of Aliquat 336 (phase-transfer agent) provided the corresponding N-aminopyrroles <06TL5341>. The conjugate addition of pyrrole to α,β-unsaturated esters catalyzed by potassium pyrrolate led to the formation of β-pyrrolyl esters <06SL77>. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution of N-pentafluorophenylpyrrole with the sodium salt of pyrrole provided the first access to hexapyrrolylbenzene derivatives <06ARK(ii)124>. The asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) reaction has been adapted for use with pyrrole nucleophiles <06JACS6054>. For example, treatment of pyrrole 55 and cyclopentene 56 with a palladium catalyst in the presence of a chiral additive gave pyrrole 57 in up to 92% ee. The latter was elaborated into piperazinone-pyrrole natural product, agelastatin A 94.

Functionalization of the electron-rich pyrrole ring is often accomplished utilizing standard electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

The preparation of rhanzinal and related pyrrole natural products required the preparation of a 4-iodopyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde <06ARK(iii)163>. Introduction of the iodine was done by treatment of the corresponding pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde with iodine and silver trifluoroacetate. The sulfonation of pyrrole 58 with chlorosulfonic acid in acetonitrile gave pyrrole-3-sulfonyl chloride 59 <06T1699>. Treatment of 59 with morpholine followed

The preparation of anti-HIV 5-arylthiopyrroles was achieved utilizing arylsulfenyl iodide generated in situ by the combination of arylthiophenol, iodine, and potassium iodide <06CMC1367, 06CMC1379>. A method exploited for preparing 2-alkylthiopyrroles involved treating 2-thiocyanatopyrrole with an alkyl Grignard reagent <06JOC903>. Additional examples of the direct cyanation of pyrroles utilizing oxidative conditions (hypervalent iodine and trimethylsilyl cyanide) were reported <06CPB1608>. The preparation of formylpyrroles has been investigated with the Vilsmeier-Haack formylation (POCl3, DMF) <06OBC1032, 06TL3693>. With 2-(2’-thienyl)pyrrole <06T3493> and pyrrole-2-carboxylate <06TL4631>, this reaction proved to be unselective. O

New electrophilic substitution reaction methods for the preparation of dipyrromethanes have been reported. The condensation of N-methylpyrrole with benzaldehyde leading to the corresponding dipyrromethane was promoted by the addition of the organic catalyst, pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate <06T12375>. The reaction between pyrrole and N-tosyl imines promoted by metal triflates gave dipyrromethanes whereas tripyrromethane byproducts were not observed <06T10130>. Different catalysts including bismuth-trichloride <06SC1373> and copper bromide <06TL7323> have been evaluated for promoting the Michael addition of pyrroles onto electron-deficient alkenes. Organic catalysts including azirdin-2-yl methanols <06TA3135> and chiral pyrrolidinium salts <06TA107> have been utilized for stereoselective conjugate addition reactions by pyrroles. For example, treatment of N-methylpyrrole 61 and (E)crotonaldehyde 62 in the presence of aziridin-2-yl methanol 63 gave alkylated pyrrole 64 with relatively good enantiomeric excess (ee). Me

A gallium metal-mediated allylation of pyrrole led selectively to the formation of the 3substituted pyrroles <06TL3535>. In contrast, a palladium-catalyzed allylation of pyrrole with allylic alcohols performed in the presence of triethylborane led to 2-substituted pyrroles <06H(67)535>. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions continue to play a central role for the preparation of highly substituted pyrroles and this subject has been reviewed <06EJO3043>. The regioselectivity in the cross-coupling of polybromopyrroles can be predicted from the 1 corresponding H NMR chemical shifts of the parent non-brominated parent systems <06CC299>. The positions containing protons that are shifted the farthest downfield in the 1 H NMR correspond to the more reactive bromine atoms in the cross-coupling reactions of polybromopyrroles. A one-pot, regioselective double Suzuki cross-coupling reaction appeared <06OL1537>. Sequential treatment of 4,5-dibromopyrrole 69 with p-methoxyphenylboronic acid and Pd(OAc)2 followed by p-fluorophenylboronic acid and Pd(PPh3)4 gave 4,5-diarylpyrrole 70. In a separate study, the regioselectivity of Suzuki reactions with 3,4-dibromo- and 2,4dibromopyrroles was evaluated <06S3883>.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been exploited for the preparation of the lamellarin natural products <06T594, 06TL3755> and related analogues <06JMC3257>. For example, the Suzuki cross-coupling of symmetrical bistriflate 71 with boronic acid 72 gave 3-arylpyrrole 73 <06TL3755>. A second Suzuki cross-coupling of 73 with boronic acid 74 then produced 3,4-diarylpyrrole 75 which was converted in several steps to lamellarin a 20-sulfate 76, a selective inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase.

A total synthesis of the pyrrole natural product, rhazinal, utilized a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction to install a 3-aryl moiety <06ARK(iii)163>. Suzuki cross-coupling reactions were exploited for the preparation of a number of pyrrole materials including a prodigiosin analogue <06OL4951>, a bipyrrole building block <06TL2605>, fluorescent bis(pyrrol-2yl)arenes <06TL7541>, and BODIPY dyes <06EJO4658>. The Heck cyclization of bromopyrrole 77 and the corresponding oxidative Heck cyclization of desbromopyrrole 78 was studied <06SL3081>. While the Heck cyclization of 77 led to a mixture of [3.3.1]bicycle 79 and [3.2.2]bicycle 80 under a variety of conditions, the oxidative Heck cyclization of 78 led solely to the desired building block 79. The latter has previously been utilized in a total synthesis of dragmacidin F.

A regiochemical outcome of a palladium-catalyzed direct C-H bond functionalization of the pyrrole ring can be directed by choice of N-substitution with bulky groups directing to C3. The oxidative alkenylation of N-(Boc)pyrrole led selectively to a 2-vinylpyrrole whereas the same reaction with the N-(TIPS)pyrrole produced a 3-vinylpyrrole <06JACS2528>. A tandem coupling reaction/intramolecular direct C-H arylation leading to the pyrrolo[2,1a]isoquinoline ring system was investigated <06OL2043>. For example, treatment of Nbromoalkylpyrrole 83 and iodoarene 84 with the reagents shown provided fused pyrrole 85. The authors proposed a mechanism that includes a Heck reaction between norbornene and 84, an ortho C-H functionalization of the iodoarene, and a C-H arylation of the pyrrole ring.

A SmI2-induced reductive cyclization of N-(alkylketo)pyrroles provided an entry into medium ring 1,2-annelated pyrroles <06EJO4989>. An oxidative radical alkylation of pyrroles with xanthates promoted by triethylborane provided access to α-(pyrrol-2yl)carboxylic acid derivatives <06TL2517>. An oxidative coupling of pyrroles promoted by a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent provided bipyrroles directly <06OL2007>. Concerted reactions involving the π-bond of the pyrrole ring have been reported. The stereoselectivity in the cyclopropanation of pyrrole and other 5-membered ring heterocycles with rhodium carbenoids has been investigated <06JOC5349>. Diels-Alder cycloadditions of pyrroles (and indoles) with cyclopentadienone acetal gave the bicyclic cycloadducts in fairly good yields <06BCJ1288>. A synthesis of highly-substituted tetracenes was developed starting from isoindole (benzo[c]pyrrole) <06OL273>. For example, treatment of dibromonaphthalene 87 with phenyllithium in the presence of isoindole 86 followed by deamination of the intermediate cycloadduct provided tetracene 88.

PYRROLE NATURAL PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
5.2.4.1
Natural Products and Biologically Active Small Molecules
Pyrrole rings are important structural subunits and recognition elements found in a number of bioactive materials including small molecule natural products and tetrapyrroles (i.e., porphyrins) and related macrocycles. The biosynthesis of naturally occurring pyrroles has been comprehensively reviewed <06NPR517>. The first five proteins involved in the biosynthesis of the prodigiosin pyrrole natural products have been identified <06JACS12600>. The total synthesis and anti-tumor activity of 3,4-diarylpyrrole natural products and related analogues have also been reviewed <06THC53, 06T7213>. Novel halogenated pyrrole natural products continue to be isolated from different marine organisms. Examples of recently isolated pyrroles include 4-bromopyrrole-2carboxyarginine <06JNP125> and the stylissadines (tetrameric dibromopyrrole-imidazoles) <06TL4675> from Stylissa caribica and agesamide A 93 from an Agelas sponge <06OL4235>. The combination of diverse biological activity and structural complexity make pyrrole natural products popular targets in the heterocyclic community. Selected highlights of developments in de novo pyrrole synthesis or reaction methodology developed en route to total syntheses of natural products have been mentioned in previous sections. Pyrrole marine natural product total syntheses that have been published during the last year include agelastatin A 94 <06JACS6054>, ageladine A <06OL1443, 06OL4083>, 12,12dimethylageliferin <06T10182>, cyclooroidin <06TL5561>, dibromophakellstatin <06JOC9431>, dragmacidin F <06CC3769, 06SL3081>, lamellarins (i.e., 76) <06T594,

Additional small molecule pyrroles demonstrating anti-cancer activity include pyrrolopyrrolizinones <06BMC8162> and prodigiosin analogues <06OL4951>. Additional types of biological activity investigated include anti-HIV <06CMC1367, 06CMC1379>, anti-inflammatory <06BMCL3657, 06AP670>, and antimycobacterial <06JMC4946>. Syntheses of the rigid pyrrole amino acid derivatives 97 and the corresponding 5-amino congener were reported <06TL4631>. 5.2.4.2
Macrocycles and Oligopyrroles
The synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrrole macrocycles (i.e., porphyrins, expanded porphyrins, and calixpyrroles) and linear oligopyrroles comprise perhaps the largest body of work published each year that can be classified as pyrrole chemistry. Unfortunately, due to space limitations, the discussion of selected advances in this area could not be included. 5.2.4.3
Non-Oligomeric Materials
The preparation and evaluation of novel borondipyrromethane (BODIPY) derivatives continues to be well studied. Selected types of BODIPY that have been investigated include dyes <06EJO4658, 06CAJ176>, fluorescent sensors <06CC1503, 06JOC3093, 06OL4445, 06OBC776, 06JACS10640>, intracellular phospholipase activity sensors <06ACB65>, copper sensors (i.e., 98) <06JACS10, 06JOC2881>, DNA sequencers <06JACS2542>, photosensitizers <06CC4398>, and luminescent gels <06JACS4548>. To close out the pyrroles section, the pyrrole moiety has been incorporated into novel nonlinear optical chromophores (i.e., 99) <06JACS2142, 06OL3681>.

SYNTHESIS OF INDOLES
As a distinct feature of mother nature’s fundamental amino acid scaffold, and emanating from a variety of biogenic processes, it is no surprise that the indole nucleus has been intimately woven into the diverse and evolving fabric of the natural world. And while a wealth of dedication and precision has been brought to bear by the community of synthetic chemists in efforts to prepare the elaborate interlacing frameworks in which nature has embedded the indole core, the simple five-six fused skeleton of the molecule also continues to inspire the development of creative strategies for its construction <00JCS(P1)1045>. The latter point is well illustrated in a recent series of reports by the Funk group whose imaginative approach to the indole ring system has the delicate aromatic materialize through a well conceived electrocyclic transformation of trienecarbamate precursors, e.g., 100-102 <06JACS4946, 06OL2643, 06OL3403, 06OL4775>. 1.

This section of the chapter will highlight recent activity in the implementation of traditional methods and the development of novel strategies for the synthesis of indole alkaloids. A review of practical methods for indole synthesis has appeared <06CR2875>. A few special topics in indole chemistry that have been reviewed include heterocyclic synthesis via palladium-catalyzed oxidative addition <06CR4644>, 1-hydroxy-substituted indoles, tryptamines, and tryptophans <06THC77>, oxidative C-C bond formation in heterocyclic chemistry <06ARK(xi)310>, and monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis <06NPR532>. Other brief monographs of topical interest have appeared including a discussion of the Nicholas approach to natural product hybrids <06CEJ6403> an overview of new principles in medicinal organometallic chemistry <06AG(I)1504>, an account of the synthesis of twelve fluoroindolecarboxylic acids <06EJO2956>, a survey of methoxy group directed augmentation of indoles <06ARK(vii)67>, the synthesis of indole derivatives via isocyanides <06OBC757>, and a kinetic study of indole nucleophilicity <06JOC9088>. Work by the Stoltz group on the synthesis of the pyrazinone dragmacidins has also been documented <06CC3769>. As with the corresponding section on pyrroles, indole syntheses have been categorized utilizing a systematic approach. Intramolecular approaches (type I) and intermolecular approaches (type II) are classified by the number and location of the new bonds that describe the indole forming step (2 examples shown below). In addition, the synthesis of azaindoles,

Intramolecular Approaches
The classic intramolecular condensation of ortho-(2-oxoalkyl)anilines continues to be a useful strategy for accessing indoles via Ia type cyclization chemistry. Smith and co-workers employed acid-catalyzed cyclodehydration of ketoanilines on route to members of the nodulisporic acid family <06OL1665, 06OL1669>. For example, treatment of ketoaniline 103 with 1,1,1-trifluoroethanol at reflux provided mild access to 2-substituted indole 104, a precursor to the heptacyclic core of (–)-nodulisporic acid D <06OL1669>. A variation of this methodology has been reported by Butin who has prepared indoles via acid catalyzed cyclization of anilines onto ortho-pendant furans, which served as 1,3-diketone equivalents <06TL4113>. Kearney and Vanderwal observed the cyanogen bromide initiated intramolecular cyclization of pyridinyl anilines to afford substituted indoles <06AG(I)7803>. OH

Frejd and co-workers utilized a different tactic for aniline cyclization by first employing a Heck-Jeffery protocol under solvent-free conditions to prepare o-amino dehydrophenylalanine derivatives from o-aminoaryl iodides with the former undergoing a spontaneous Ia cyclization-elimination sequence to afford 2-methoxycarbonyl indoles <06S1183>. Dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate (DMTST) was used by the Okuma group to promote the cyclization of o-vinyl-N-p-toluenesulfonylanilide to Ntosylindole <06CL1122>. A number of iodine promoted Ia type cyclization reactions have been utilized for indole ring construction. Iodocyclization of o-ethynylanilines, prepared by the Pd/Cu-catalyzed coupling of iodoanilines and terminal acetylenes, was employed by the Larock group in their synthesis of 3-iodoindoles <06JOC62>. Kobayashi and co-workers prepared 1-arylindoles via iodine-mediated endo-cyclization of 2-(arylamino)-α-methylstyrene derivatives <06BCJ1580>. An interesting solvent effect has been observed by Hessian and Flynn who reported selective 5-exo or 6-endo-digonal iodocyclization pathways leading to indoles 106 or quinolines 107, respectively, from common aniline precursors 105 <06OL243>.

The Nakamura group was able to prepare 2,3-substituted indoles by the electrophilic trapping of indole C3-cuprates that had been generated by the sequential treatment of oalkynylanilines with n-BuLi, ZnCl2, then CuCN•2LiCl <06OL2803, 06AG(I)944>. In an alternative strategy, Lu and co-workers employed Pd(OAc)2 to facilitate a one-pot Sonogashira-Cacchi domino reaction between o-iodoanilines, terminal alkynes, and arylbromides in their preparation of 2,3-substituted indoles <06OL3271>. The Cacchi group made use of Pd2(dba)3 to couple o-(phenylethynyl)trifluoroacetanilide with aryl chlorides in their synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles <06ASC1301>. A palladium catalyzed tandem Buchwald–Hartwig/Heck reaction provided Lautens and co-workers with efficient access to 2-vinylic indoles from gem-dibromovinyl aniline precursors <06OL4203>. Various strategies for indole ring synthesis have relied on the reductive cyclization of osubstituted nitroaryl groups. A synthesis of 7-formyl indoles from 3-methyl-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol has been reported by Satyam and co-workers that employs the Ia type Batcho– Leimgruber reductive cyclization <06SC1051>. The Belley group found that catalytic hydrogenation of (2-nitrophenyl)acetonitriles over Pd/C and (Ph3P)4Pd afforded N-hydroxy-2aminoindoles <06TL159>. An alternative path to N-hydroxyindoles has been reported by the Nicolaou group who observed SnCl2-promoted cyclization of nitroaromatic α,β-unsaturated ketoesters with the trapping of nucleophiles by the incipient α,β-unsaturated nitrone intermediates <06AG(I)5364>. The Hossain group has reported a nice complement to the Reissert indole synthesis that allows for access to 3-substituted, rather than 2-substituted, ethoxycarbonyl indoles. The synthesis proceeds via catalytic reduction of 2-nitroaryl-3hydroxypropenoic acid esters over Pd/C <06JOC4675>. Davawala and co-workers have prepared 3-allylindoles from o-nitrobenzaldehydes using a sequence of Wittig olefination of the aldehyde followed by a Claisen rearrangement in the presence of FeSO4 and NH3 <06TL1003>. As illustrated in the conversion of 111 to 112 below, a variety of indoles bearing chirality at C3 was accessed by O'Shea and co-workers by means of a (–)-sparteine directed enantioselective carbolithiation of 2-propenyl anilines, followed by electrophilic trappingcyclization of the lithio intermediates <06JACS10360>.

A few type Ib intramolecular strategies for construction of the indole core have appeared. Opatz and Ferenc have prepared derivatives of indole-3-acetic acid via 5-exo-trig cyclization of α-deprotonated aminonitriles onto the ortho-pendant cinnamic acid side chains <06OL4473>. Minakata, Komatsu, and co-workers have accessed 2,3-substituted indoles from o-stannylmethylated thioanilides 113 or related o-stannylmethylated aryl isothiocyanates through a sequence of 1,5-dipole generation to 114 and subsequent intramolecular cyclization to indole 115 <06OL3693>. An interesting aza-Pauson–Khand reaction of alkynecarbodiimides has been employed by the Mukai group in an approach to the pyrrolo[2,3-b]indol-2-one system on route to (±)-physostigmine <06OL83>. R2

A synthesis of 2-acyl and 2-alkoxycarbonyl-indoles was carried out by Tamariz and coworkers via an intramolecular Friedel–Crafts heteroannulation of enaminone precursors <06SL749>. A Iac type palladium-catalyzed intramolecular indolization of alkyne-tethered 2-chloroanilines has been reported by Lu and co-workers <06OL3573>. Taber and Tian have employed the Neber protocol to prepare α-aryl azirines that underwent thermal rearrangement to afford substituted indoles via a unique Ie type ring closure <06JACS1058>. A variety of substituted N-alkyl and N-aryl indoles have been prepared by Zhao and co-workers who observed Ie cyclization of 2-aryl-3-arylamino-2-

Intermolecular Approaches
A vast array of type IIac ring syntheses have been reported. The Fischer indole synthesis, the tried and true acid catalyzed rearrangement of arylhydrazones derived from the intermolecular condensation of ketones or aldehydes with arylhydrazines, continues to find broad application in synthetic design. Zard and Sharp have applied the Fischer method in a total synthesis of (±)-aspidospermidine <06OL831>. The Rawal group made use of the Fischer protocol to prepare model vindoline substrates to assess a Pd cross-coupling strategy for the synthesis of C-15 vindoline analogues<06JOC7899>. A regioselective Fischer indole synthesis has been reported by Christoffers in which the regiochemistry across the 2,3-bond of the annulated indole products, 120 or 122, is dependent on the relative configuration (cis/trans) of the bicyclic starting ketones 119 or 121 respectively <06SL318>. Liu and coworkers have described a synthesis of 2,3-substituted indoles involving the rearrangement of 3,3-disubstituted indolenines generated from phenylhydrazine and α-disubstituted aldehydes. <06OL5769>. Microwave-assisted Fischer indolization using ZnCl2 in anhydrous triethylene glycol was applied by Lipinska and Czarnocki in their syntheis of 2-(2-pyridyl)indoles on route to derivatives of sempervirine <06OL367>. Microwave technology was also applied by Kapoor and co-workers in their silica-based, solvent-free approach to pyrazolines, tetrahydrocarbazoles, and indoles <06SC2727>. Novel access to arylhydrazones from aryllithiums and α-diazoesters has been reported by the Takamura group <06TL743>. O

Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions provided strategic entry into a few type IIac annulations. A heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling was used by Djakovitch and co-workers to prepare 2- and 2,3-substituted indoles from 2-iodoaniline and acetylene precursors <06ASC715>. Dorow and co-workers employed a 10:1 ratio of CuI:Cl2Pd(PPh3)2 in their preparation of pyrroloquinolones via Sonogashira coupling/heteroannulation methodology <06OPRD493>. McLaughlin and co-workers have described a one-pot copper-free Sonogashira alkynylation and base-mediated indolization reaction to access 1,2-disubstituted indoles 125 and azaindoles from o-chloroanilines 123 <06OL3307>. A ligand-, copper, and amine-free variant of the Sonogashira coupling was used by Srinivasan and co-workers to access 2substituded indoles <06T5109>. R1 Z 123

A few additional Pd-catalyzed schemes have been employed for IIac type cyclization chemistry. Palladium-phenanthroline complexes were used by the Ragaini group to prepare indoles via the intermolecular cyclization of nitroarenes and alkynes in the presence of carbon monoxide <06JOC3748>.

A collection of other chiral agents have been employed in efforts to install asymmetric side-chains at C3. Deng and co-workers made use of bifunctional cinchona alkaloids to promote the enantioselective Friedel–Crafts addition of indoles to aldehydes and α-ketoesters <06OL4063>. Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed enantioselective addition of indoles to imines has also been reported <06JACS8156>. In an alternative approach to chiral indoles, the Evans group has employed a bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-scandium(III) triflate complex to promote the enantioselective addition of 4,7-dihydroindole to α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles <06OL2249>. In the latter case, oxidation of the substituted dihydroindole products with p-benzoquinone afforded the chiral indole products. Enantioselective Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones was achieved using D-camphorsulfonic acid as a catalyst <06EJO5225>. Enantiomerically pure aziridin-2-yl methanols were used by Bonini and coworkers as organocatalysts for the C3 alkylation of N-methylindole with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes <06TA3135>. A variety of Pd-catalyzed couplings have been used to set new bonds at indole C3. Trost and Quancard employed Pd with an anthracene derived chiral ligand and trialkylboranes to promote the enantioselective C3 coupling of 3-substituted-1-H-indoles and allyl alcohols for the installation C3 quaternary centers <06JACS6314>. This methodology was applied in the synthesis of (–)-esermethole, a key intermediate on route to the Alzheimer’s drug candidate (–)-phenserine.

Functionalization of the Side-Chain
The nucleophilicity of the indole core, coupled with the relative acidity of indole NH, continues to dictate a need for the development of delicate methods for selective side-chain functionalization.

A virtue of the practice of indole natural product total synthesis is the concurrent development of general or fortuitous discovery of intriguing synthetic methodology. Boger and co-workers have disclosed the details of an intramolecular [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition cascade of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles <06JACS10589> that has been employed in the total synthesis of (–)- and ent-(+)-vindoline <06JACS10596, 06AG(I)620>. For example, the inverse electron demand Diels–Alder cycloaddition ([4+2]) of the tethered oxadiazole 145 is followed, after loss of nitrogen, by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ([3+2]) across the indole 2,3bond to stitch up the C ring of the core pentacyclic frame 146 of (–)-vindoline 147. In an alternative approach to annulation across the indole 2,3-π system, Padwa and coworkers have reported approaches to the pentacyclic and hexacyclic frameworks of the aspidosperma and kopsifoline alkaloids respectively that involve as the key step a Rh(II)promoted cyclization-cycloaddition cascade <06OL3275, 06OL5141>. As illustrated in their approach to (±)-aspidophytine 150, Rh2(OAc)4-catalyzed cyclization of a diazo ketoester 148 affords a carbonyl ylide dipole that undergoes [3+2]-cycloaddition across the indole 2,3-π bond to generate 149 <06OL3275>.

Oxindole Total Synthesis
Oxindoles and spirocyclic variants represent another general class of indole alkaloids that have received considerable attention as synthetic targets as well as key intermediates in natural product synthesis. Trost and Brennan have constructed the stereogenic quaternary center of deceptively simple horsfiline using a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of an oxindole nucleophile <06OL2027>. Weinreb and co-workers employed an oxindole spiro-β-lactam in their approach to chartelline A <06JOC3159, 06OL1779>. The Wood group has completed work on (±)-welwitindolinone A isonitrile <06JACS1448>. As illustrated below, the spiro-oxindole framework 159 was set via α-deprotonation of the isonitrile 158 with subsequent cyclization of the resulting anion onto the isocyanate <06JACS1448>. Other completed works in oxindole or spiroindole natural product synthesis include convolutamydines B and E <06OL677>, (±)-strychnofoline <06CEJ8208>, (±)dehaloperophoramidine <06AG4317>, (–)-flustramines A and B and (–)-flustramides A and B <06CC420>, (+)-alline <06TL5379>, and (R)-convolutamydine A.

___________________________________________________________________________ 5.3.1 INTRODUCTION This article aims to review papers that were published in 2006 on reactions and syntheses of furans, benzofurans and their derivatives. Two reviews have summarized the syntheses of furans <06OBC1627> and tetrahydrofurans <06EJO1627>. Another review <06CJO1613> records the progress of transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric ring opening of oxabenzonorbornadienes. Like 2005, many new naturally occurring molecules containing tetrahydrofuran and dihydrofuran rings were identified in 2006. References on compounds whose biological activities were not mentioned are: <06HCA64; 06HCA73; 06JA3148; 06JNP1098; 06JNP1721; 06JNP1728; 06OL3613; 06P735; 06P759; 06P965; 06T4743; 06TL4623>.

Naturally occurring compounds containing furan skeletons whose biological activities were assessed were mentioned in the following papers: <06JNP68; 06JNP113; 06JNP1749; 06OL701; 06OL4935; 06P452; 06P1957; 06P2288; 06TL4007>.

As illustrated in the scheme below, the reaction of a furan tethered at the 2-position to an iminium ion gave a spiro-2,5-dihydrofuran derivative as the sole diastereoisomer. This spirocyclization, which proceeded irrespective of the length of the carbon linker, was employed to construct the ABC tricyclic core of manzamine A <06OL27>. t

When furans were tethered to silyl enol ethers at the 2-position, spiroannulation also occurred at the 2-position under electrochemical conditions <06CC194>, as exemplified below. The formation of the kinetic products is the result of the higher nucleophilicity of the furan C2-position.

A Lewis acid-catalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction between 2-trialkylsilyloxyfurans and α-substituted ketones proceeded diastereoselectively <06OL2909>. An organocatalytic addition of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran to aldehydes using 10 mol% of 1,3-bis(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea provided adducts with modest threo selectivity <06TL8507>. A syn-selective, enantioselective, organocatalytic vinylogous Mukaiyama-Michael addition of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran to (E)-3trimethylsilyl-acrylaldehyde using MacMillan’s chiral amine catalyst was adopted to prepare a key butenolide intermediate in one formal total synthesis of

Furan that was loaded on a soluble dendritic polyglycerol support could be efficiently oxidized electrochemically to a 2,5-dihydro-2,5-dimethoxyfuran, which served as an intermediate in the synthesis of a pyrrole library <06OL403>. 2,5-Diphenylfurans were found to oxidize to cis-enediones by Selectfluor in aqueous THF, presumably through the action of in situ-generated HOF <06TL6849>. 2-(5-Methoxyfuranyl)ruthenium complexes were readily oxidized by air to enediesters <06EJI649>. As shown below, the marine diterpene bipinnatin J was converted to intricarene by a biomimetic approach that involved an Achmatowicz-type oxidation of its 2-hydroxymethylfuran moiety to form an oxidopyrylium ion intermediate, which then participated in a transannular [5+2] cycloaddition with the butenolide ring <06OL5901, 06TL6401>.

The oxidation of 2,5-disubstuted furans by singlet oxygen was exploited for the synthesis of [5,5,5] and [6,5,6] bis-spiroketals <06OL1945>. An unusual regioselective photooxidation of 3-bromofuran to 2- and 3-bromo-γ-hydroxybutenolides, as depicted below, was reported.

A 2-aminofuran was converted into 4,4’-bipyrazole by reaction with two molecules of hydrazine <06TL8965>. Hydrogenation of 2-amylfuran under 5 atm of H2 as catalyzed by 10% Rh/C at 80 °C in water provided 2-amyltetrahydrofuran in 90% yield <06SL1440>. An advance in the area of enantioselective hydrogenation of furans, as reported by Pfaltz, is the hydrogenation of

The presence of a halogen substituent at the 5-position of N-alkenyl substituted 2furanyl amides markedly enhanced the rate of intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and the yield of cycloadduct. This phenomenon, as determined by CBS-QB3 calculations, was attributed to the decreased activation energy and a greater stabilization of the cycloadduct imparted by the halogen substitution. The computation also suggested that a 5-methoxy group has the same favorable effect, and that substitution at the 5-position has a greater effect than that at the 3-position <06AG(I)1442; 06JOC5432>. The facile cycloaddition between furan and a 3,3-difluoro-2-propenoate as catalyzed by SnCl4 was determined by density functional theory calculations to have arisen from the high-energy barrier of cycloreversion. The transition state of this reaction was characterized as zwitterionic in nature <06JA13130>. The gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of furans tethered to alkynes was adopted to the synthesis of interesting spiroannulated dihydrobenzo[c]furans containing pentofuranosides, hexofuranosides and hexopyranosides <06TL3307>. It was found that this type of cycloisomerization could occur even with furans bearing sterically demanding substituents at the 5-position, and that an ortho-methoxy group on the phenyl substituents had a strongly accelerating effect on the reaction rate <06CEJ6991>. An example is shown below.

furan 2-position <06JOC5349>. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of furanyltungsten complexes, in which furan function as a carbonyl ylide, was investigated <06OM435>. Furan participated in [4+3] and [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with 1-alkylidene-2-trimethylsilyloxyallyl and 1alkylidene-2-methoxyallyl cations respectively <06OL4113>. A [4+4] intramolecular photocycloaddition between a furan tethered to a pyran-2-one was used to construct the fused tricyclic [5-8-5] ring system of the fusicoccin diterpenoid traversianal <06OL4075>. A similar cycloaddition of a furan tethered to a 2-pyridone was examined for the synthesis of the tetraquinane crinipellin <06OL3367>. 5.3.2.2 Di- and Tetrahydrofurans The stereoselectivity of the Büchi-Paternò reaction between 3-hydroxy-2,3dihydrofuran and benzophenone was found to be influenced by solvent, temperature and steric effect <06TL2527>. A Dötz benzannulation involving a dihydrofuran chromium carbene complex and an alkyne was employed to form the aflatoxin B2 skeleton, providing the annulated product as the only regioisomer <06TL2299>. Cycloaddition involving 2,3dihydrofuran, 1-aminoanthraquinone and salicyaldehyde was catalyzed by triphenylphosphonium perchlorate to form cis-fused furanochromenylaminoanthraquinone <06TL9291>. New catalytic conditions for the cyclization between 2,3-dihydrofuran and imines using Me3SiCl <06SL1399>, phosphomolybdic acid <06TL4409>, SbCl3 <06TL5733> and iodine <06TL4509> to form furanotetrahydroquinolines were developed.

2-Benzoyl-4,5-dihydrofuran was readily oxidized by air, m-CPBA or DMDO to give a mixture of butyrolactone and tricyclic bis-acetal <06TL6285>. 2,3-Dihydrofurans were converted to butenolides by photo-oxygenation followed by dehydration of the intermediate hydroperoxides at room temperature <06T10688>. 2,3-Dihydrofuran underwent a radical group transfer reaction with xanthate to give an intermediate in which the anomeric xanthate further reacted with nucleophiles to provide 2,3-trans-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans <06JOC2352>. Group transfer reaction also occurred photo-chemically between 2,3dihydrofuran and difluoro(phenylseleno)acetate and phosphonate to provide 3-difluoromethyl substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans <06T3761>. In the absence of acetonitrile as an additive, the diastereoselective three-component coupling involving 2,3-dihydrofuran, N-tosyl imino ester and a nucleophile, as reported in 2005, provided trisubstituted pyrrolidines, as exemplified below <06OL4509>.

An intermolecular 1,5-oxygen migration of a cyclohexene-fused 7oxabenzonorbornadiene was induced by bromination <06T12318>. Double bond isomerization was minimized in a rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 2,5-dihyfrofuran by using a phosphabarrelene ligand to produce 3-formytetrahydrofuran in 79% yield <06CEJ6931>. The Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed hydrophenylation of 7-oxabenzonorbornadiene was affected by the use of a triphenylphosphine-functionalized imidazolium carbene as a ligand <06SL1193>.

The isomerization of 7-oxabenzonorbornadienes to 1-naphthols could be interrupted to obtain 1,2-naphthalene oxides by using Cp*Ru(cod)Cl as a catalyst and by careful work-up using neutral alumina, as shown below <06JA3514>. The regioselectivity of this reaction was consistent with the insertion of ruthenium into the more electron rich C−O bond. The C1 ester group of 7-oxa- and 7-oxabenzo-norbornadienes also induced a high regioselectivity in the ruthenium-catalyzed [2+2] cycloaddition with disubstituted alkynes <06TL7185>. However, the ruthenium-catalyzed reaction between 7-oxabenzonorbornadienes and propargylic alcohols in MeOH provided isochromenes <06EJO5449>. 7-Oxa- and 7-oxabenzo-norbornadienes could also be cyclopropanated by ruthenium carbenoids that were derived from tertiary propargyl carboxylates using a catalytic amount of CpRuCl(PPh3)4 <06JOC3569>.

5.4.1
INTRODUCTION
The synthesis and chemistry of pyrazoles, imidazoles, and 1,2,3-triazoles were actively pursued in 2006. A review on the cross-coupling reactions on azoles with two and more heteroatoms for pyrazoles and imidazoles has been published <06EJO3283>. Publications relating to 1,2,4-triazole and tetrazole chemistry were not particularly well represented this year. The solid-phase and combinatorial chemistry of these ring systems have not been investigated compared to past years. No attempt has been made to incorporate all the exciting chemistry or biological applications that have been published this year. 5.4.2
PYRAZOLES AND RING-FUSED DERIVATIVES
A short review has been published on the utilization of chiral enaminones and azomethine imines in the synthesis of functionalized pyrazoles <06ARK35>. Addition of hydrazines to 1,3-difunctional compounds is one of the most common methods employed for the preparation of pyrazoles. 1,3-Diketones were synthesized directly from ketones and acid chlorides and were then converted in situ into pyrazoles by the addition of hydrazine <06OL2675>. This method is extremely fast, general, and chemoselective, allowing for the synthesis of previously inaccessible pyrazoles and synthetically demanding pyrazolecontaining fused rings. A highly regioselective synthesis of 1-aryl-3,4,5-substituted pyrazoles based on the condensation of fluorinated 1,3-diketones with arylhydrazines has been described where N,N-dimethylacetamide is used as the solvent <06SL3267>. New bis-pyrazole derivatives were synthesized from aryl- and xylyl-linked bis(β-diketone)precursors with hydrazines <06SC707>. 3-Amino-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized by cyclocondensation reactions of 4-amino-4-ethoxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones with hydrazines <06SL1485>. The application of microwave heating to a silica-assisted solution-phase synthesis technique has

been utilized to develop a rapid and efficient two-step protocol for the preparation of pyrazoles 5 from aryl methyl ketone 1 and ethyl trifluoroacetate 2 with aryl hydrazine 4 via trifluoroketo enol 3 <06TL2443>. Treatment of ethyl 3,3-dicyano-2-methoxyacrylate with alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic and sulfonyl hydrazines led to the synthesis of N-1 substituted 3-acyl-4-cyano-5aminopyrazoles, which became versatile intermediates for the synthesis of many biologically active scaffolds <06TL5797>. 3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates <06RJOC887>. Microwave irradiation of substituted hydrazines and β-ketonitriles furnished 5aminopyrazoles, which were transformed to their corresponding N-carbonyl derivatives by treatment with an isocyanate or a chloroformate <06OBC4158>.

Hydrazones are also useful substrates in the preparation of pyrazoles. Reaction of Nmonosubstituted hydrazones with nitroolefins led to a regioselective synthesis of substituted pyrazoles <06OL3505>. 1H-3-Ferrocenyl-1-phenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde was achieved by condensation of acetylferrocene with phenylhydrazine followed by intramolecular cyclization of the hydrazone obtained under Vilsmeier–Haack conditions <06SL2581>. A one-pot synthesis of oxime derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-arylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes has been accomplished by the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction of acetophenone phenylhydrazones <06SC3479>. Heterocycles can be employed as precursors for the synthesis of pyrazoles. Pyrazoles can be synthesized by three-membered ring substrates. For example, allyl amines 12 and pyrazoles 13 could be obtained by hydrazinolysis of 2-ketoaziridines 11 <06TL255>. Regioselective ring opening of 3-aryl-2-benzoyl-1,1-cyclopropanedicarbonitriles 14 with hydrazine provided a new process for the synthesis of 5-aryl-3-phenylpyrazoles 15 <06JHC495>. O R1

Lewis-acid promoted “coarctate” cyclization of ten 2-(phenylazo)benzonitrile derivatives furnished the isoindazole ring system <06JOC6619>. Several metal cross-coupling reactions have been applied to pyrazoles.

N-Methylation at the pyrazole ring by sequential treatment of 5-tributylstannyl-4trifluoromethylpyrazole 36 with LDA and iodomethane regioselectively provided the Nmethylpyrazole 37 <06T6332>. The addition reaction of 5-lithiated-4-trifluoromethylpyrazole with a wide range of aldehydes or ketones allowed easy and high-yielding introduction of substituents on position 5 to give pyrazoles 38. Efficient preparation of 3-aryl-1H-pyrazoles 41 by reaction of 1-protected-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazoles 40, prepared from pyrazole 39 with usual conditions, with (het)aryl halides has been described <06TL4655>. The SEM protecting group was difficult to remove in the presence of the carboxylate derivatives and often required drastic refluxing conditions and excess tetrabutylammonium fluoride. The choice of THP protecting group was found to alleviate these shortcomings. The C-3 position of isoindazoles is readily functionalized by metalation with lithium diisopropylamide followed by reaction with a variety of electrophiles <06SC285>. Indazole 42 can be regioselectively protected at N-2 by a SEM group using novel conditions (Scheme 12) <06JOC5392>. The SEM group of 43 efficiently directed regioselective C-3 lithiation and the resulting nucleophile reacted with a wide range of electrophiles to generate novel indazole derivatives 44 after the SEM group was removed by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran or by aqueous hydrochloric acid in ethanol. 1(p-Methoxybenzyl)pyrazole, when treated with either n-butyllithium or lithium diisopropylamide, underwent metalation at the exocyclic -position but mutated to the 5-lithio species in the course of few minutes or hours <06EJO2417>. Trapping the intermediates with a rapidly reacting electrophile such as chlorotrimethysilane or carbon dioxide offered selective access to either of the two possible regioisomers. N-Arylation of 3,5-disubstituted-pyrazoles with 4-fluoro and 2-fluoronitrobenzene under microwave irradiation conditions with and without solvent compared to the classical heating afforded N-arylation regioisomers in yields depending on the method used <06ARK138>.

Several reports of the synthesis and chemistry of benzimidazoles have been published. The most common methods involved the condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine with a carbonyl group. 2-Substituted benzimidazoles were prepared from 1,2-phenylenediamine and esters under microwave conditions <06SC2597>. A highly selective synthesis of 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H1,3-benzimidazoles from the reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamines and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of silica sulfuric acid in ethanol or water has been reported <06TL2557>.

simple and environmentally friendly synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles was developed using a small-pore-size zeolite <06SC3625>. Condensation of aldehydes with 1,2phenylenediamine and catalytic iodine in water provided a convenient synthesis of benzimidazoles <06JHC773>. 2-Substituted benzimidazoles 119 were prepared by reaction of 2-azidoaminobenzenes 118 with aldehydes under thermal conditions <06SC3425>. The reaction probably proceeded via a sequential imine formation, azide decomposition forming a nitrene, and electrocyclization. The treatment of benzylidene(2-nitroaryl)amines 120, prepared by the reaction of o-nitroaniline and benzaldehydes, with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of selenium under basic conditions, afforded 2-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles 121 <06SL109>. Hydrogenation of Nsubstituted 2-nitroanilines with palladium on carbon as catalyst in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate and catalytic pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate at room temperature provided the corresponding disubstituted benzimidazoles <06TL5359>. A liquid phase PEG-ester resin, derived from the commercially available 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, was used in the multistep synthesis of specifically functionalized bis-benzimidazoles where microwave irradiation through ten steps involved ipso-SNAr reaction, neutral reduction and acid cyclization <06TL2601>. Using carbodiimide reagents [1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide or N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N’ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)], a mild, generalized, one-pot method that delivered N2-arylaminobenzimidazole esters from commercially available aryl isothiocyanates and 1,2phenylenediamines has been developed <06JCO907>.

Imidazoles and fused-derivatives have participated in a myriad of cross-coupling reactions. The reaction of protected 4,5-diiodoimidazoles with (PhMe2CCH2)2CuLi regioselectively provided 5-cuprated imidazoles, which readily reacted with various electrophiles furnishing functionalized imidazoles in good yields <06CC2170>. Remarkably, these resulting monoiodoimidazoles underwent again an iodine–copper exchange reaction in the presence of sensitive functional groups like an aldehyde or a ketone. In the presence of copper(I) bromide, 2aminopyrimidine-4,6-diol, and tetrabutylammonium fluoride, a variety of imidazoles underwent the N-arylation reaction with aryl and heteroaryl halides <06JOC8324>. 4,7-Dimethoxy-1,10phenanthroline was found to be an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazole with aryl iodides and bromides under mild conditions <06OL2779>.

catalyzed N-arylation of imidazole and benzimidazole can be accomplished using air-stable copper(I) iodide as a copper source and 1,10-phenanthroline in the presence of potassium fluoride/alumina as a base <06SL2124; 06TL5203>. By using copper(I) iodide as the catalyst and L-Proline as the ligand, the Ullmann-type coupling reactions of aryl/heteroaryl bromides and imidazoles in [Bmim]BF4 at 105–115 ºC gave the corresponding N-arylimidazoles/Nheteroarylimidazoles in good yields <06T4756>. A general and efficient method for the coppercatalyzed cross-coupling of amides and thiophenols with 6-halogenoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been reported <06T6042>. C-H Arylation of imidazoles and benzimidazoles has appeared recently in the literature. The first palladium- and copper-mediated C-2 arylations of imidazole 122 with aryl iodides under ligandless and base-free conditions to give 2-arylimidazoles 123 has been described <06EJO1379>. This system worked for benzimidazole also and no N-arylation products were observed for both imidazole and benzimidazole. Efficient palladium-catalyzed microwaveassisted arylation of 2-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines has been disclosed <06JCO659>.

Iodinemediated, oxidative desulfurization promoted cyclization of N-2-pyridylmethyl thioamides served as an efficient and versatile method for the preparation of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines <06OL5621>. Methyl 2-trimethylsiloxycyclopropanecarboxylates, 2-aminopyridine and isonitriles were combined in a one-pot reaction to provide a series of novel δ-amino acids incorporating an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine backbone <06S2677>.

1,2,3-TRIAZOLES AND RING-FUSED DERIVATIVES
A microreview on the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne–azide “click” cycloadditions from a mechanistic and synthetic perspective has been written <06EJO51>. Click chemistry includes a range of reactions that proceed in high yield under ambient conditions, preferably in water, with regioselectivity and a broad tolerance of functional groups. The copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azides and acetylenes to give 1,2,3triazoles is known as the “cream of the crop” of all click reactions. β-Tosylethylazide (TSE-N3), which could be prepared in one step from p-tolyl vinyl sulfone and sodium azide/sulfuric acid, underwent copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with alkynes in the presence of sodium ascorbate to produce TSE-protected 1,2,3-triazoles where the protecting group could be removed using potassium tert-butoxide <06TL3035>. Primary, secondary, and aromatic azides underwent 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition-coupling with an excess of alkyne in the presence of Cu(CH3CN)4PF6 as catalyst, N,N,N’-trimethylethylenediamine as ligand, molecular oxygen, and 4methoxymorpholine N-oxide (NMO) as co-oxidant to afford 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles <06T6405>. Copper(II) acetate-promoted regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3triazoles in water has been reported <06SL957>. The use of methylene chloride as a co-solvent with water in the copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organic azides and alkynes increased reaction rates and provided the corresponding 1,2,3-triazoles in excellent yields compared to other organic co-solvent systems <06TL5105>. A series of orthogonally protected 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles were prepared from the corresponding alkynols and trialkylsilylpropargyl azides via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition <06TL6971>. A polymer-supported benzyldimethylamino catalyst for the Hüisgen’s [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between azides and alkynes to give 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles was prepared from copper(I) iodide and Amberlyst A-21 <06OL1689>.

5.5.1 INTRODUCTION This review chapter focuses on the syntheses and reactions of these 5-membered heterocyclic ring systems containing nitrogen and sulfur (or selenium) (reported during 2006). The importance of these π-rich heterocycles in medicinal chemistry and natural products is also covered. 5.5.2
THIAZOLES
5.5.2.1 Synthesis of Thiazoles The Hantzsch reaction discovered in 1889 remains one of the most reliable routes to thiazoles and numerous applications of this reaction appeared during the past year <06BMCL2773; 06BMCL5317; 06JA2995; 06JMCAC235; 06JOC5031; 06JOC8302; 06T66; 06T1110; 06T11592; 06TL239; 06OL3057>. For example, the Hantzsch reaction of α-bromomethyl ketone 1 with thioamide 2 is utilized to construct one of the two thiazole rings in a recent total synthesis of myxothiazols <06OBC2906>. OMe

Another frequently used method for construction of thiazoles consists of cyclization of compounds containing C(=S)-NH-CH-C(=O) or C(=S)-NH-CH-C(=S) fragment (with loss of water or hydrogen sulfide). The requisite thioamides are prepared from their corresponding amides using phosphorus pentasulfide, Belleau’s reagent, Lawesson’s reagent or the recently developed fluorous Lawesson’s reagent, which can be easily removed by a simple filtration through fluorous reverse phase silica <06OL1625>. For example, 2-N-acylglycinamides 4 undergo dithionation followed by trifluoroacetic acid anhydride (TFAA)-mediated cyclization to furnish a series of trifluoroacetamides 6 in moderate yields <06TL2361>. Interestingly, the analogous reaction of the corresponding monothionated acetamide 7 results in an approximately equal mixture of thiazole 8 and oxazole 9.

The thionation of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds and their subsequent cyclization can be carried out in two steps as described above, but frequently the two-step sequence can be combined in one single operation. Thus, treatment of N,N-diformylaminomethyl aryl ketones 11 with phosphorus pentasulfide and triethylamine gives arylthiazoles 12 directly <06SL460>. It is unclear whether the formyl group is lost before or after thiazole formation. The thiazole-based dipeptides 14 are also obtained from β-ketoamides 13 via cyclization upon treatment with the Lawesson’s reagent on solid phase <06OL2417>. Similar transformations (15 to 16) have been carried out using the fluorous Lawesson’s reagent as described above <06OL1625>. Ar

2-Aminothiazoles are frequently synthesized by the reaction of aromatic or aliphatic amines with α-thiocyanatoketones, which are prepared from α-haloketones by treatment with potassium thiocyanate. These two operations can be performed in one pot using a supported reagents system, KSCN/SiO2-RNH3OAc/Al2O3 <06T3201>. This method provides a direct synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles 20 from α-haloketones 17 and amines, thus obviating the isolation of intermediate α-thiocyanatoketones 18. O R

Oxidation of thiazolines represents another approach to thiazoles. This method has been applied to the synthesis of N-Boc-L-thiazole methyl ester 22 <06JA10513>. Conversion of resin-bound thiazolines 23 to thiazoles 24 is also reported <06OL2417>.

A recent total synthesis of tubulysin U and V makes use of a one-pot, three-component reaction to form 2-acyloxymethylthiazoles <06AG(E)7235>. Treatment of isonitrile 25, Bocprotected L-homovaline aldehyde 26, and thioacetic acid with boron trifluoride etherate gives a 3 : 1 mixture of two diastereomers 30. The reaction pathway involves transacylation of the initial adduct 27 to give thioamide 28. This amide is in equilibrium with its mercaptoimine tautomer 29, which undergoes intramolecular Michael addition followed by elimination of dimethylamine to afford thiazole 30. The major diastereomer serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of tubulysin U and V. R MeO2C

A series of 2-(thiazol-5-yl)acetamides and acetates 35a/b has been prepared in one pot from the reactions of benzotriazolylthione derivatives 32 with N,N-dimethyl-4-N’,N’bis(trimethylsilyl)aminobut-2-yne amide 31a and ethyl 4-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminobut-2ynoate 31b, respectively <06TL8661>. Presumably, the initial adducts 33a/b undergo intramolecular thia-Michael addition to give 34a/b, which isomerize to thiazoles 35a/b. C(O)X R TMS N TMS 31a: X = NMe2 31b: X = OEt

Five-membered ring systems: with N and S (Se) atoms
A novel synthesis of iodothiazole 38 takes advantage of Wiemer’s protocol for the synthesis of vinyl iodides from ketones <06JOC5031>. The thiazolyl phosphate 37, prepared from 2-isopropylaminothiazoline-4-one 36, is converted to the desired iodothiazole 38 upon treatment with in situ generated trimethylsilyl iodide. This iodide is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the quinolone substructure of the protease inhibitor BILN 2061. i-Pr

5.5.2.2 Synthesis of Fused Thiazoles A series of 2-arylbenzothiazoles 41 has been synthesized via microwave irradiation of 1 : 1 mixture of ortho-aminothiophenols 39 and alkyl or aryl acylacetonitriles <06JHC1609>.

Benzothiazoles can be obtained from ortho-haloanilides under strong basic conditions as exemplified by the formation of 5-bromo-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)benzothiazole 43 from dibromide 42 <06JMC179>. A Cu(I)-catalyzed version of this transformation has been developed <06JOC1802>. Treatment of ortho-haloanilides 44 with cesium carbonate in the presence of copper(I) iodide and a ligand furnishes benzothiazoles 45 in good yields. This cyclization involves an intramolecular C-S cross-coupling of the ortho-haloanilides and presumably proceeds via an oxidative insertion/reductive elimination pathway through a Cu(I)/Cu(III) manifold. Both 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen) and N,N’-dimethylethylenediamine provide ligand acceleration, but 1,10-phen shows greater substrate tolerance. Br Br 42

The reaction probably proceeds via thiyl radical 50, which undergoes 1,5-homolytic radical cyclization followed by aromatization of radical 51 to give 2arylthiazole 52. A modified Pictet-Spengler reaction has been applied to the synthesis of thiazoloquinolines 58 <06T3228>. Condensation of anilines 53 with aryl aldehydes 54 followed by endo cyclization results in the formation of thiazoloquinolines 58 under a variety of traditional Pictet-Spengler protocols such as 2% trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane.

A novel series of 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-5-ones 64 is prepared by addition of malonic esters 59 to 2-alkynylthiazoles 60 <06H(67)523>. A plausible reaction mechanism involves an intramolecular cyclization of the initial adduct 61 to give the cyclobutenoxide intermediate 62. Ring-opening of this intermediate and subsequent cyclization lead to 5H-thiazolo[3,2a]pyridine-5-one 64.

5.5.2.3 Synthesis of Thiazolines Cyclodehydration of the compounds bearing C(=O)-S-C-C-NH2 moiety is a common approach to thiazolines. This method has been used repetitively to form the thiazoline moiety in a recent synthesis of chiral cyclic oligothiazolines <06CC1757>. Exposure of thioester 65 to trifluoroacetic acid results in cyclodehydration to give thiazoline 66, a doubly protected dimer unit. This dimer is converted to carboxylic acid 67 via basic hydrolysis and thiol 68 by the activation of the thiazolidinone ring with a Boc group and subsequent base-induced ring opening. Acid 67 is coupled with thiol 68, and the resulting thioester is treated with trifluoroacetic acid to furnish tetramer 69, which undergoes double deprotection to provide thiocarboxylic acid 70. Di- and tri-merization of this acid in a head-to-tail fashion produce a 1.8 : 1 mixture of macrocyclic thioesters 71a and 71b in 63% yield. Boc deprotection of 71a and 71b and subsequent cyclodehydration give cyclic octathiazoline 72a and dodecathiazoline 72b, respectively.

Compounds bearing C(=S)-NH-C-C-OH fragment (β-hydroxy thioamide) can also undergo cyclodehydration to form thiazoline derivatives. The utility of this strategy has been demonstrated in the synthesis of halipeptins A and D <06JA4460>. Exposure of 73a/b with (diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (DAST) brings about intramolecular cyclization to provide thiazolines 74a/b, which are advanced precursors to halipeptins A and D. Me

Kelly’s biomimetic methodology, first reported in 2003 <03AG(E)83>, has become one of the most reliable routes to thiazolines. In this approach, the phosphorus-activated amide carbonyl group undergoes nucleophilic attack by the cysteine thiol group to provide the thiazoline moiety (see 76). Kelly’s thiazoline formation has been applied to the total syntheses of three complex natural products: halipeptin A (75 to 77) <06TL1081>, apratoxin A (78 to 79) <06OL531> and (R)-telomestatin <06OL4165>. The typical protocol in Kelly’s

methodology involves triphenylphosphine oxide and triflic anhydride, but the cyclodehydration and deprotection of S-t-Bu group in 80 is carried out with addition of anisole, which drives the reaction to completion.

5.5.2.4 Reactions of Thiazoles and Fused Derivatives The first practical, large-scale synthesis of 2-amino-5-fluorothiazole 84 employs the reaction of dilithiated 2-butoxycarbonylaminothiazole 83 with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSi) <06OPRD346>. This reaction generates a 70 : 15 mixture of the desired fluorinated thiazole 84 and the sulphone 85, and after three consecutive recrystallizations thiazole 84 is isolated in 35-40% yield. This procedure has been utilized to prepare multikilogram quantities of 84, which is a heterocyclic amine component of a series of glucokinase inhibitors. BocHN

<06AG(E)2958; 06CC583>. This mixed Mg/Li amide, which has excellent solubility in THF (1.2 M) and is stable for more than six months as THF solution at 25°C, allows the regioselective functionalization of various aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Thus, both thiazole and benzothiazole undergo smooth C-2 magnesiation with TMPMgCl•LiCl at 25°C, and the resulting magnesium chlorides are trapped with benzaldehyde and iodine, respectively, to furnish adducts 88 and 90.

A new methodology for direct phosphonation of thiazoles has been developed <06OL5291>. Reaction of substituted thiazoles 91 with dimethyl or diethyl phosphates in the presence of manganese (III) acetate dihydrate provides 5-dimethyl or diethylphosphonothiazoles 95. The high C-5 regioselectivity is rationalized by comparing the two intermediates 93 and 94, which result from the attack of phosphonyl radical 92 to the thiazole ring at the C-4 and C-5 position, respectively. The radical in intermediate 94 is next to an imine as opposed to a sulphur as in the case of 93, and therefore, 94 is more stable than 93. As a result, the C-5 phosphonation involving 94 is favored. In the case of unsubstituted thiazole, the C-2 and C-5 phosphonations proceed in a ratio of 78 : 10, indicating that the C-2 position of thiazole is most reactive for phosphonation, followed by the C-5, and the C-4 is the least.

A mild and efficient α-heteroarylation of simple esters and amides via nucleophilic aromatic substitution has been described <06OL1447>. Treatment of 2-chlorobenzo[d]thiazole 99 with tert-butyl propionate in the presence of NaHMDS under nitrogen furnishes tert-butyl 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)propanoate 100. When the same reaction is preformed initially under nitrogen and then exposed to air, the hydroxylation product 101 is obtained. This method offers two desirable features that are either complementary or improvements to the palladium-catalyzed α-arylation reactions. First, heteroaryl chlorides

Several palladium-catalyzed C-5 arylations of thiazoles have been reported. For example, 2,5-diarylthiazole 104 is prepared via arylation of thiazole 102 at C-5 with aryl iodide 103 using PdCl2(PPh3)2 as a catalyst and silver(I) fluoride as an activator <06T9548>. The selectivity in the arylation of 4-methylthiazole with biphenyl triflate 105 depends on the choice of base: cesium carbonate favors the C-2 arylation, while the C-5 arylation dominates with potassium carbonate <06H(68)1>. The C-2 selectivity issue is overcome by using 2trimethylsilylthiazoles, which serve as efficient counterparts for palladium-catalyzed crosscoupling reactions with aromatic triflates (without any fluoride anion source) to afford 2-aryl thiazoles. For example, mono-thiazoles 110a/b are obtained from triflate 108 using 2trimethylsilylthiazoles 109a/b. N S 102

A cobalt-catalyzed method for arylation of heteroarenes including thiazole and benzothiazole was reported in 2003 <03OL3607>. According to this report, the direct C-5 arylation of thiazole with iodobenzene was carried out in the presence of cobalt catalyst [Co(OAc)2/IMes] and cesium carbonate, and a complete reversal of arylation from C-5 to C-2 was observed with the bimetallic Co/Cu/IMes system. This report has been retracted as the laboratory of the senior author has not been able to reproduce the key results disclosed in the communication <06OL2899>.

When excess phenylboronic acid is used, Pd(PPh3)4 still provides 2-phenyl-6-chlorobenzothiazole exclusively, while 2-dicyclohexylphosphinobiphenyl 113 generates 2,6diphenylbenzothiazole as the major product.

The synthesis of 4-bromo-2'-chloro-2,5'-bis(thiazole) 117 from 2-chlorothiazole via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions has been reported <06JOC3754>. Among the three coupling methods (Negishi, Suzuki and Stille), the Stille coupling route proves to be the best. Lithiation of 2-chlorothiazole with LDA and subsequent quenching with tributyltin chloride give 2-chloro-5-tributylstannylthiazole 114, which is coupled with 2,4-dibromothiazole 116 to give bis(thiazole) 117. This compound can also be prepared by the Suzuki coupling reaction of 2,4-dibromothiazole with the first known thiazoleboronic acid ester 115, but the yield is much lower. The Negishi coupling protocol suffers from substantial side reactions and results in an inseparable mixture of products. The transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions on various azole systems including thiazoles and benzothiazoles have been summarized in a recent review <06EJOC3283>. S

A synthesis of the eastern fragment of the thiazole peptide GE2270 relies on a regioslective bromine-lithium exchange reaction of thiazoles and Negishi cross-coupling reaction <06JOC4599>. 2,4-Dibromothiazole 116 undergoes the known regioselective bromine-lithium exchange to give 4-bromo-2-thiazolyl lithium 118, the TBS protected (S)mandelate 119 is added, and the resulting adduct is reduced stereoselectively to provide threo alcohol 120. This alcohol is converted the Boc protected amine 121 in a four step sequence. Bromine-lithium exchange of 121 and subsequent transmetalation to zinc are followed by a regioselective Negishi cross-coupling with 2,4-dibromothiazole 116 to furnish bis(thiazole) 122. This compound could serve as a building block for the synthesis of thiazolyl peptide GE2270.

The cycloaddition of 2-aminothiazoles with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) has been thoroughly investigated <06JOC5328>. Treatment of thiazoles 123 with DMAD in acetonitrile leads unexpectedly to 6-(dimethylamino)-3,3-pyridinedicarboxylates 128. According to the proposed mechanism, nucleophilic attack of the thiazole at C-5 to DMAD gives the zwitterionic intermediate 124, which cyclizes to the fused cyclobutene 125, the formal [2 + 2] adduct. Thermal disrotatory opening of 125 leads to all-cis 1,3-thiazepine 126, which undergoes a symmetry-allowed disrotatory 6π-electrocyclic ring closure to give 7-thia2-azanorcaradiene 127. Desulfurization of 127 gives rise to pyridine 128. Alternatively, the zwitterionic intermediate 124 could lead to 7-thia-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene 129, the formal [4 + 2] cycloadduct, through the attack of its carbanionic center to the C-2 of thiazole moiety. Further sulphur extrusion in 129 would provide the regioisomeric pyridine 130. This pathway proves to be operative, although in low extension, only in rare instances. The zwitterionic intermediates can be trapped when the reactions are carried out in methanol instead of acetonitrile. For example, exposure of thiazole 131 to 1 equiv of DMAD in methanol gives a 24 : 76 mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomer 132 and 133. In the case of thiazole 134, the fused cyclobutene intermediate 135 is isolated in 52% yield, and it cleanly transforms into pyridine 136 under thermal conditions.

5.5.2.5 Thiazole Intermediates in Synthesis An enantioselective synthesis of both (R)- and (S)-α-alkylcysteines 144 and 147 is based on the phase-transfer catalytic alkylation of tert-butyl esters of 2-phenyl-2-thiazoline-4carboxylic acid and 2-ortho-biphenyl-2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid, 142 and 145 <06JOC8276>. Treatment of 142 and 145 with alkyl halides and potassium hydroxide in the presence of chiral catalysts 140 and 141 gives the alkylated products, which are hydrolyzed to (R)- and (S)-α-alkylcysteines 144 and 147, respectively, in high enantioselectivity. This method may have potential for the practical synthesis of chiral α-alkylcysteines.

The utility of thiazolidinethione chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric aldol reactions is amply demonstrated in a recent enantioselective synthesis of FD-891, a 16-membered macrolide <06JA3128>. This synthesis features four thiazolidinethione propionate aldol reactions for controlling the configuration of 8 of 12 stereogenic centers. For example, addition of aldehyde 149 to the enolate solution of N-propionyl thiazolidinethione 148 produces aldol product 150 with excellent selectivity (dr > 20:1) for the Evans syn isomer. Compound 148 also undergoes diastereoselective aldol addition with 3-butenal to give the non-Evans syn aldol product 152 under different conditions (dr > 15:1). Both aldol products are incorporated into FD-891. Asymmetric aldol reactions using thiazolidinethione chiral auxiliaries are also applied to the synthesis of bistramide <06JA4936>, (+)-SCH 351448 <06OL2887> and salinomycin <06OL527>. OTBS

The stereoselective addition of the titanium enolate of N-acetyl-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine2-thione 153 to the cyclic N-acyl iminium ion 154 is utilized in the synthesis of (-)stemoamide, a tricyclic alkaloid <06JOC3287>. The iminium ion addition product 155 undergoes magnesium bromide-catalyzed anti-aldol reaction with cinnamaldehyde 156 to give adduct 157, which possesses the required stereochemistry of all chiral centers for the synthesis of (-)-stemoamide.

N-(Alkoxy)thiazole-2(3H)-thiones 158 are precursors to alkoxyl radicals which can participate additions, β-fragmentations and remote functionalizations <06OBC2313>. For example, microwave irradiation of 158 in the presence of tributytin hydride or bromotrichloromethane affords tetrahydrofurans 162a and 162b, respectively. Conceivably, the alkoxyl radical 160, generated under microwave conditions, undergoes 5-exo-trig cyclization to give a cyclized radical 161. Hydrogen (Bu3SnH) or bromine atom transfer (BrCCl3) onto radical 161 leads to tetrahydrofuran derivatives 162a/b. Ar

The synthesis of a series of piperidine imino-C-glycosides 169 involves a stereoselective addition of 2-thiazolylmagnesium bromide 165 to a N-glycosylhydroxylamine 163, a hidden open-chain sugar nitrone 164 <06JOC7574>. The resulting N-thiazolylalkylhydroxylamine 166 is reduced to a secondary amine, which, upon mesylation, transforms into a substituted piperidine 167 via a SN2 intramolecular cyclization. Cleavage of the thiazole ring to formyl group is carried out by a one-pot, three-step reaction sequence consisting of microwaveassisted N-methylation of the thiazole ring by methyl iodide, reduction of the Nmethylthiazolium salt with sodium borohydride, and mercury chloride-promoted hydrolysis of the resulting thiazolines. The crude piperidine aldehyde is further reduced to the primary alcohol 168, and removal of the O-Bn and N-Bn groups in 168 affords a pair of 2,6-dideoxy2,6-iminoheptitol hydrochlorides 169.

6-Nitro-2-benzothiazolyl α-manniside 170 has been identified as an efficient mannosyl donor in the direct β-selective mannosylation of glucosamine derivatives <06BCSJ479>. Mannosylation of 171 with 170 using HB(C6F5)4 as a promoter proceeds smoothly to give a 4 : 1 mixture of β- and α-mannosides 172. This represents the first example of direct βselective mannosylation with the chitobiose acceptor 171. The β-trisaccharide 172 serves as a key building block for the synthesis of the pentasaccharide core commonly present in the Nlinked glycans.

The Julia olefination reaction involving alkylsulfonyl benzothiazoles remains one of the most effective methods for the stereoselective formation of olefins. The power of Julia olefination is demonstrated in the total synthesis of cystothiazole A <06T11592> and FR901464 <06T1378>. Coupling of sulfone 173 with aldehyde 174 using LHMDS proceeds stereoselectively to give a 14 : 1 mixture of cystothiazole A and its Z-isomer in 64% yield. Epoxyaldehyde 175 also undergoes E-selective Julia olefination with sulfone 176 to give the desired diene 177, which is converted to FR901464 in four steps. The Julia olefination reaction involving alkylsulfonyl benzothiazoles is also applied to the synthesis of phorboxazole A <06OL6043>, iejimalide B <06AG(E)5832>, (-)-codonopsinine <06TA1380>, myxothiazols <06OBC2906>.

There are several new methodologies based on the Julia olefination reaction. For example, 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide 178, prepared in two steps from 2-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide, reacts with a variety of aldehydes in the presence of sodium hydride to furnish the α,β-unsaturated Weinreb amides 179 <06EJOC2851>. An efficient synthesis of fluorinated olefins 182 features the Julia olefination of aldehydes or ketones with α-fluoro 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl sulfones 181, readily available from 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl sulfones 180 via electrophilic fluorination <06OL1553>. A similar strategy has been applied to the synthesis of α-fluoro acrylates 185 <06OL4457>. S O O O Me S N N OMe 178 S O O S N Ar 180 S O O S N t-BuO2C 183

5.5.2.6 Thiazolium-Catalyzed and -Mediated Reactions The thiazolium-catalyzed addition of an aldehyde-derived acyl anion with a Michael acceptor (Stetter reaction) is a well-known synthetic tool leading to the synthesis of highly funtionalized products. Recent developments in this area include the direct nucleophilic addition of acyl anions to nitroalkenes using silyl-protected thiazolium carbinols <06JA4932>. In the presence of a fluoride anion, carbinol 186 is not cleaved to an aldehyde

and thiazolium zwitterion, but instead, it acts as nucleophlic acyl reagent, thereby selectively accessing carbonyl anion 189 presumably via a 1,2-hydrogen shift of the initial adduct 188. Treatment of carbinol 186 with tetramethylammonium fluoride (TMAF) and thiocarbanilide in the presence of nitroalkenes 187 provides β-nitroketones 190. In the absence of the thiourea additive, the yield is significantly lower. The incorporation of chiral thiourea 193, derived from quinine, into the reaction with (E)-(2-nitrovinyl)cyclohexane 191 produces βnitro ketone 192 in 74% ee. This fluoride-activated acyl anion strategy is divergent from the typical combinations of heteroazolium salts and bases, and therefore reactive nitroalkenes can be used as substrates (nitroalkenes decompose rapidly upon exposure to amine bases).

The conjugate addition of acylsilanes to unsaturated esters and ketones utilizing Nheterocyclic carbenes derived from thiazolium salt 200 (Sila-Stetter reaction), first communicated in 2004 <04JA2314>, has been described in full detail <06JOC5715>. The proposed reaction pathway starts with the deprotonation of the thiazolium salt 200 with DBU to yield thiazol-2-ylidene 201, a nucleophilic carbene. Addition of this carbene to acylsilane 194 generates intermediate 196, which undergoes a 1,2-silyl group migration from carbon to 195 O Ph

to oxygen (Brook rearrangement). This thermodynamically driven migration results in acyl anion equivalent 197, which adds to the α,β-unsaturated ketones 195. This carbonyl anion methodology provides easy access to various 1,4-diketones 198, which are well known precursors to polysubstituted furans and pyrroles. The thiazolium-catalyzed additions of
260
Y.-J. Wu and B.V. Yang
acylsilanes have also been extended to N-phosphinoylimines 202 to give α-aminoketones 203. The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed carbonyl anion addition reactions have been extensively investigated, but in contrast, the corresponding nucleophilic substitution reactions have received considerably less attention. Recently, NHCs generated in situ from thiazolium salts 205 have been applied to intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions <06OL4637>. For example, treatment of aldehydes 204 with 205 (25 mol%) and DBU (70 mol%) at 160°C provides benzopyrones 208. In the case of aldehydes 209, benzofuranones 212 are obtained exclusively. Presumably, the reaction involving aldehyde 204 proceeds via SN2 pathway, while aldehyde 209 undergoes SN1 reaction, where the initial carbon cation 210 rearranges to give the more stable intermediate 211, thus leading to benzofuranones 212.

The relative and absolute stereochemistry of antimitotic macrolide archazolid A and B, originally isolated in the early nineties, has been determined on the basis of extensive highfield NMR studies, molecular modelling and chemical derivatization <06OL4751>. The proposed structures have yet to be confirmed by total synthesis. The E stereochemistry at Δ14,15 of (-)-mycothiazole has been revised to Z, and a closely related analog, mycothiazole-4,19-diol, has also been isolated from Cacospongia mycofijiensis <06JNP145>. Studies on a recent collection of the Red Sea sponge Negombata magnifica have led to the discovery of latrunculin T, a new member of the latrunculin family <06JNP219>.

ISOTHIAZOLES
5.5.3.1 Synthesis of Isothiazoles A novel synthesis of alkylsulfanylisothiazoles 230 starts with sodium α-cyanoketene dithiolates 227, obtained by the reaction of cyanoacetamides 226 with carbon disulfide in the presence of sodium ethoxide <06SC825>. Treatment of 227 with sulphur and piperidine acetate generates sodium isothiazole-3,5-dithiolates 229. The formation of 229 is assumed to arise from the addition of anionic sulphur to the nitrile group in 227 to give the intermediate 228, which cyclizes upon elimination of anionic sulphur to yield 229. Salts 229 are readily alkylated to furnish 3,5-bis(alkylthio)isothiazole derivatives 230. Ar HN O 226

acetylacetonate affords cis-isothiazolidines 234. One plausible explanation for the cis selectivity is that the cis isomer of the diastereomeric mixture of thietane 231 selectively reacts with 232 to form the sulfimide intermediate 233, which undergoes [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give the cis product 234.

An efficient synthesis of N-alkylated-4-substituted isothiazolidine-dioxides (sultams) 251 has been developed utilizing epoxides 248 <06TL4245>. Addition of a secondary sulphonamide 247 to epoxide 248 in hot 1,4-dioxane affords the amino alcohol 249, which is
265
Five-membered ring systems: with N and S (Se) atoms
converted to the benzensulfonate 250. Treatment of 250 with n-BuLi leads to the formation of N-alkylated-4-substituted sultam 251. Chiral 4-substituted sultams are easily accessed using the chiral epoxide. The chirality is faithfully translated to the product through the inversion at the sulfonate-bearing carbon as a result of cyclization occurring exclusively via a SN2 pathway. O O 247 S 2 Me NHR + O

An asymmetric synthesis of chiral 3-substituted sultams 256 makes use of a diastereoselective nucleophilic addition reaction <06EJOC1271>. The nucleophilic 1,2addition of various organo-cerium reagents to the C=N double bond of ω-SAMP-hydraznosulfonate 252 gives hydrazines 253 in good to excellent diastereoselectivity. Removal of the chiral auxiliary by reductive N,N-bond cleavage and Cbz protection of the primary amine leads to aminosulfonates 254. After ester hydrolysis and chlorination, the resulting aminosulfonyl chlorides 255 are cyclized under basic conditions to afford 3-substituted sultams 256. MeO N YO

Various saccharin derivatives 260 have been prepared by chromium (VI) oxide catalyzed H5IO6 oxidation of substituted ortho-toluenesulfonamides 259 <06T7902>. The reaction presumably proceeds through a benzylic radical intermediate 261 generated from the
266
Y.-J. Wu and B.V. Yang
abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen by chromium oxo and peroxo species. Subsequent intramolecular hydrogen transfer leads to the formation of the N-centered radical intermediate 262. This radical is easily oxidized to the carbonyl diradical 263 which cyclizes to afford the saccharin skeleton 260. Alternatively, radical 262 can undergo a second hydrogen atom abstraction to give an alkyl diradical 264, which undergoes intramolecular coupling to give sultam intermediate 265. This intermediate can be readily oxidized to 260. The excess H5IO6 used is to regenerate the high-valence chromium species to force the reaction to completion. Further development of this methodology culminates in the direct synthesis of substituted N-tert-butyl saccharin analogs 267 from their corresponding substituted toluene derivatives 266 via a one-pot, three-step sequence: chlorosulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid, trapping the sulfonyl chloride with tert-butyl amine and the oxidative cyclization of the resulting ortho-toluenesulfonamide.

Five-membered ring systems: with N and S (Se) atoms
heterocyclic nucleus <06EJOC4285>. In all the cycloadditions evaluated, Sc(OTf)3 appears to be the most effective catalyst which affords high yields under mild conditions. The two dienophiles 272a and 272b exhibit different endo/exo selectivity in reactions with cyclopentadiene and furan. The 4-aryl substituted isothiazole-dioxide 272b gives a mixture of exo and endo adducts in all cases, with the latter being preferred (endo/exo: 5/1 with furan and 8/1 with cyclopentadiene, reaction not shown). However, a major selectivity is found with isothiazole-dioxide 272a, and the selectivity depends on the nature of the diene: cyclopentadiene delivers the endo adduct 273 (X = CH2) exclusively, whereas the exo addition product 274 (X = O) is the sole product from furan.

5.5.3.3 Isothiazoles as Auxiliaries in Organic Syntheses Oppolzer’s camphor sultam, a well known chiral auxiliary, has been utilized in the asymmetric [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of glycine-derived allyl ammonium ylides. These reactions are known to be highly selective in terms of relative and absolute stereocontrol with substrates bearing acyclic alkene moiety <05JA1066>. For example, the [2,3]-rearrangement of N’N’N’-allyldialkyl glycinoyl (2S)-sultam salts 293 gives the allyl glycine derivatives 295 with a high level of diastereoselectivity, in favour of the (2’R)-isomer (dr > 96 : 4). However, when the chiral camphorsultams of the ylides derived from Nmethyltetrahydropyridine (NMTP) undergo rearrangement, the reactions proceed with exclusive cis-stereoselectivity but no absolute stereocontrol as exemplified by the formation of 1 : 1 diastereomers of pyrrolidine carboxylates 297 and 298 from the NMTP (2S)camphorsultam salt 296 <06T11506>. The lack of diastereoselectivity in the cyclic series suggests that the sigmatropic rearrangements of N-chiral ammonium ylides are controlled by nitrogen stereogenicity.

The camphor sultam auxiliary has been applied to the asymmetric aziridine synthesis via aza-Darzens reaction of N-diphenylphosphinylimines. Reaction of the chiral enolates derived from N-bromoacetyl (2R)-camphorsultam 299 with N-diphenylphosphinyl aryl and tertbutylimines 300 generates (2’R,3’R)-cis-N-diphenylphosphinyl aziridinoyl sultams 301 in high diastereoselectivity <06T3681>. However, the stereoselectivity of this reaction depends on the structure of the imine substituents: arylimines substituted in the ortho-position usually give mixtures of cis- and trans-aziridines, and exclusively trans-configured products 306 are obtained from ortho-bromo, iodo, and trifluoromethylphenylimines <06T3694>.

An elegant application of Oppolzer’s sultam in the asymmetric [C+NC+CC] coupling reaction provides convenient access to a variety of pyrrolidines 312 in a single step <06OL3647>. Simply mixing aldehyde 307, chiral amine derived from glycyl (2R)camphorsultam 308, and electron-deficient alkene 309 in THF in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver acetate results in the clean production of highly functionalized pyrrolidines 312. The reaction proceeds through imine 310 formed from aldehyde 307 and amine 308. The subsequent [3+2] cycloaddition with alkene 309 leads to 2,5-cis disubstituted pyrrolidines, presumably via the intermediacy of a metalated (E, E)-azomethine ylide 311. The Oppolzer’s chiral glycyl sultam serves several important roles: (1) it reduces the nucleophilicity of the amine component, thus preventing unwanted Michael addition; (2) it
270
Y.-J. Wu and B.V. Yang
facilitates azomethine ylide formation by enhancing the α-acidity of the imine; (3) it controls the diastereofacial selectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddtion in a predicable maner, i.e. alkene approaching from the endo-Re face of the (E,E)-azomethine ylide as depicted by 311. H R2 + H2N

Other applications of Oppolzer’s sultams include diastereoselective allylation of glyoxylic oxime ethers <06TL611>, asymmetric aldol reactions in the syntheses of macrolide FD-891 <06OL2695> and antitumor antibiotic belactosin and its analogs <06JOC337>, silver (I) promoted asymmetric halomethoxylation of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives <06TA210>, Lewis acid-catalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives to cyclopentadiene and cyclohexadiene <06TA822>, dialkylboron triflatepromoted anti addition of acylated Oppolzer’s sultam to aldehydes <06TA1152>, and BaylisHillman reaction with Oppolzer sultam derived acrylamide <06EJOC4731>. 5.5.3.4 Pharmaceutically interesting isothiazoles Several biologically active isothiazoles and their saturated and/or oxygenated analogs have been reported in 2006. Isothiazoles have been incorporated into TrkA kinase inhibitor 313 <06BMCL3444> and the allosteric MEK1 (MAP kinase/ERK kinase) inhibitor 314 <06BMCL5561>, sultams into the selective TACE (TNFα converting enzyme) inhibitor 315 (IC50: TACE 5.9 nM, MMP-1, 2, 9, 13 > 2128 nM) <06BMCL1028> and human melanocortin subtype-4 receptor (MC4R) selective agonists 316 <06BMCL1130>. Compounds containing isothiazole moiety that are currently in clinical development include STA-5312 (rosabulin), a tubulin binder for the treatment of drug-resistant cancers (Phase I) <06BMCL5164>, and CP-547632, a potent, selective and orally bioavailable vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor for cancer therapy (phase II) <03CR7301>

Reaction of N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl aziridines 323 and 325 with primary amines furnishes substituted 1,2,5-thiadiazolidine 1,1-dioxides 324 and 326, respectively, in a regioselective manner <06SL833>. Aziridine 325 is made from (1R,6S,Z)-bicyclo[4.2.1]non3-en-9-one in two steps: N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl imine formation using dimethylsulfamide and subsequent reaction with trimethylsulfoxonium ylide. The product from the reaction with 4-methoxy-benzyl amine can be subsequently manipulated (debenzylation and derivatization) to give the alternative nitrogen substitution pattern in a controlled manner.

Alkylisoselenocyanates 339 are versatile starting materials for the synthesis of various selenium-containing heterocycles. Reaction of 339 with allylamine yields N-allylselenoureas 340 which undergo intramolecular cyclization in the presence of hydrogen chloride to afford 5-methyl imino-selenazolidines 341 <06CL626>. When propargylamines 342 are used instead of allylamine, 5-methylidene-selenazolidines 343 are obtained directly <06H(68)1607>. Addition of 339 with sodium hydroselenide generates the intermediate Nalkyldiselenocarbamates 344, which react with bromoacetylbromide 345 to provide oxoselenazolidines 346 <06S2738>. Se

Chapter 5.6 Five-membered ring systems: with O & S (Se, Te) atoms

5.6.1
1,3-DIOXOLES AND DIOXOLANES
The conversion of 1,2-diols into the corresponding 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes has been achieved by reaction with acetone and polymer-supported Ph3P/I2 <06SL305>, while highly stereoselective conversion of trans epoxides 1 into the cis dioxolanes 2 has been reported using acetone with either a Lewis Acid <06EJO3007> or photocatalytically with a pyridinium salt catalyst <06H(68)1861>. Conversion of non-enolisable aldehydes and ketones, R1R2C=O, into dioxolanes 3 can be carried out in excellent yield by slow addition of KOBut to a mixture of the compound and 2-chloroethanol in DMF <06OL3745>. An interesting dioxolane to dioxolane rearrangement is involved in the conversion of 4 into 5 upon acid-catalysed treatment with ethanediol <06OBC2218> and the stereospecific rearrangement of 6 to give 7 has also been described <06JOC1537>. Palladium-catalysed coupling of aryl halides with 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether gives either of the isomeric dioxolanes 8 or 9 depending on the catalyst and ligands used <06EJO765>.

R.A. Aitken and L.A. Power
Reaction of substituted catechols with DMAD and 0.1 equiv. DABCO directly gives the benzodioxoles 10 <06S2286> and photochemical addition of 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl radicals to alkynes in acetonitrile affords products 11 <06CC4300>. New studies on the industrially important carboxylation of epoxides 12 to give dioxolan-2-ones 13 include catalysis by silica-supported quaternary phosphonium salts <06CC1664>, quaternary ammonium saltterminated polyethyleneglycol <06TL1271> and tris(dibutylamino)bromomethane with ZnBr2 <06JMOC(250)30. The formation of 1,3-dioxolan-2-ones from 1,2-diols and diphosgene is efficiently promoted by activated charcoal <06S885>. A variety of routes to dioxolanones involving metal-promoted cyclisation of alkenyl and alkynyl carbonates and other esters has been described and these include copper triflatecatalysed reaction of α-allyloxy acids to give dioxolan-4-ones <06EJO3554>, palladiummediated rearrangement and cyclisation of hexa-2,4-diene-1,6-diol monocarbonates to give dioxolan-2-ones <06T11218>, and cyclisation of propargyl carbonates and esters to afford 4alkylidenedioxolan-2-ones using mercuric triflate <06TL8369, a gold(I) complex <06OL515> or a palladium catalyst <06T2545>. More unusual methods leading to dioxoles and dioxolanones include Wolff rearrangement of the Meldrum's acid diazirine 14 to give 15 <06RJOC1213>, reaction of succinimide with methyl 2-diazoacetoacetate to give 16 <06TL2643> and SnCl4-promoted reaction of the fluorinated carbamate 17 with furan to give 18 among the products after hydrolytic work-up <06JA13130>.

ISOXAZOLES
Isoxazoles are privileged aromatic heterocycles due to their wide spectrum of biological activities and their use as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. Recent progress in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions on isoxazole systems has been summarized and discussed <06EJO3283>. Reductive cleavage of 5-silyl-, 3-, 4-, and 5-silylmethylisoxazoles 1 gave silyl βenaminones 2, useful synthons in the regioselective synthesis of silyl- and silylmethylpyrazoles 3, as well as pyrrole-, pyrimidine-, and pyridine derivatives <06T611>.

The Pd/C assisted hydrogenolysis of substituted 3-(2-nitrophenyl)isoxazoles 4 results in the formation of substituted 4-aminoquinolines 5 through reduction of the nitro to an amino group, followed by isoxazole ring cleavage and concomitant ring closure. In contrast, similar catalytic hydrogenation of 3-nitrophenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles led to reduction of the nitro group with retention of the isoxazoline ring <06S1995>. N O R

trifluoroacetoxyborohydride, respectively, to give 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles 7 and 8. They are also alkylated at C-5 through sonication with secondary and tertiary alkyl iodides, in the presence of zinc dust and copper(I) iodide, leading to compounds 9. This behavior, analogous to that of acrylates and acrylamides, is characteristic of 4-substituted isoxazoles but not of the 5-substituted regioisomers. These processes generally afford trans-4,5-disubstituted isoxazolines and the incorporation of chiral auxiliaries into the ester function allows one to perform alkylations with a good level of stereocontrol (86-88% yields, 93 to 98% de). This methodology provides a complementary approach to nitrile oxide cycloadditions to alkenes for the asymmetric synthesis of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles <06JOC3221>. R1

Catalytic enantioselective crossed aldehyde-ketone benzoin cyclizations of ketoaldehydes, such as 13, readily obtained from an aryl nitrile oxide and a 1,3-diketone, were studied in order to perform the synthesis of complex molecules. Significant asymmetric induction was observed with chiral triazolium salts such as 14, in the presence of DBU as base, leading to compound 15 in high yield and with 99% ee in favor of the R enantiomer <06AG(E)3492>.

Functionalized isoxazoles were obtained in good yields from activated acetylenes and alkyl 2-nitroethanoates in the presence of triphenylphosphine <06TL1627>. The use of PPh3/DDQ offers a neutral and highly efficient method for the conversion of 2-hydroxyaryl aldoximes and ketoximes to 1,2-benzisoxazoles in excellent yields at room temperature <06TL8247>. Isoxazole (as well as isoxazoline, and isoxazolidine) analogues of C-nucleosides related to pseudouridines 25 and 27 have been regioselectively synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) of nitrile oxides (and nitrones) derived from uracyl-5-carbaldehyde 24 and 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde 26 respectively <06T1494>.

25,27-Diallyloxycalix[4]arene 33 reacted with isophthaldinitrile oxide through a 1+1 double 1,3-DC to give the calix[4]arene 34 having an aryl-1,3-diisoxazoline cap on the lower rim. Under the same conditions, 5,17-diallylcalix[4]arene gave the corresponding 1+1 upper rim capped calix[4]arene <06TL8383>. Calix[4]arenes isoxazole and isoxazolines underwent molybdenum hexacarbonyl-mediated N-O bond cleavage in the presence of water to afford calix[4]arenes decorated respectively with α,β-unsaturated-β-amino ketones and β-hydroxy ketones <06TL9077>.

Polymeric isoxazolines were prepared by cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to norbornadiene followed by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) <06PLM3292; 06MM3147>. Isoxazolines 38 and 39 were obtained in different ratios by direct cycloaddition of 4-tbutylbenzonitrile oxide with acids 35 (R = H, path B) and by the intermediate formation of cyclodextrin derivatives 36 and 37 followed by basic hydrolysis and acidification (path A). The reversed regioselectivity as well as an increased rate of the cycloaddition step could be explained through the temporary association of the nitrile oxide with the cyclodextrin to give the inclusion complex 40 <06CEJ8571>.

A detailed study of the role of the base in the formation of 2-isoxazolines by condensation of primary nitro compounds with alkenes in the presence of the tertiary diamine 1,4diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) was published <06EJO4852; 06EJO3016>.

4-Isoxazolines were synthesized by a new regioselective and organocatalyzed nitrone 1,3DC with conjugated alkynoates in water. Both tertiary amines and phosphines catalysed the reaction which did not occur in absence of the catalyst or in organic solvents. For example, C-phenyl N-benzyl nitrone reacted with alkynoate 48 in H2O/LiCl in the presence of 10 mol% of PPh3 to give 4-isoxazoline 51 in 68% yield. In the proposed mechanism, the catalyst (PPh3) adds to 48 to generate the zwitterionic allenoate 49 which is the reactive dipolarophile. Regioselective 1,3-DC of 49 with the nitrone affords the primary cycloadduct 50 which evolves to 51 by elimination of a molecule of the catalyst <06CC2798>. New theoretical calculations of mechanisms of isoxazoline syntheses have been reported.

Isoxazolidines are valuable intermediates for the synthesis of natural products and other bioactive compounds. Recent literature shows more and more examples of the versatility and usefulness of this class of heterocycles. For example, isoxazolidine derivatives have been used as key intermediates in the synthesis of the natural alkaloids 54 and 55 <06T4549; 06OL2309>, the cyclic amino acids 56 and 57 <06EJO3235; 06TA1863>, the pyrrolidine fucosidase inhibitor 58 <06EJO2384> the pyrrolizidine alkaloid analogues 59 and 60 <06JOC1614; 06CAR2005>, the hydroxyindolizidine 61 <06TA292> and the nucleoside analogue 62 <06TL8821>. Typically, isoxazolidines are employed as masked β-amino alcohols which can be released under mild reduction conditions, but other different transformations leading to a variety of useful functionalities are also available as shown by some of the following examples. The

conversion of a vinyl group into a γ-hydroxy-α-keto acid moiety was accomplished by diastereoselective 1,3-DC with N-tert-butyl C-ethoxycarbonyl nitrone and subsequent ring opening under basic conditions. The process was applied to the synthesis of some sialic acid derivatives. For example, the 3-alkoxycarbonyl isoxazolidine 63 was converted into the L-Nacetylneuraminic acid (64) in 60% yield via C-3 deprotonation followed by N–O cleavage and imine hydrolysis <06AGE7417>.

N-Unsubstituted isoxazolidines such as 65 undergo facile decarboxylative peptide couplings with α-keto acids <06JA1452>. The use of water as solvent or cosolvent was particularly beneficial for the formation of amides in high yields. The methyl α-keto esters obtained could be saponified to the corresponding α-keto acids, and the β-peptide chain could then be extended by reaction with another isoxazolidine. HN O

5-Spirocyclopropane isoxazolidines are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of different classes of heterocycles.

Under the same conditions, the lower homologue 71 (n = 1) could not be isolated as it underwent ring opening to give the β-amino acid 72 <06EJO5485>.

Similarly, 3-spirocyclopropane monobactams 74 were prepared by a one-pot threecomponent cascade reaction of alkylhydroxylamine hydrochlorides, aldehydes and bicyclopropylidene. In particular, microwave heating of mixtures of the three components in the presence of sodium acetate in EtOH furnished the products 74 through nitrone formation, 1,3-DC and acid-catalyzed rearrangement of isoxazolidine 73 <06EJO1251>. 4'Chlorospiro[cyclopropane-1,5'-isoxazolidines] prepared by 1,3-DC of pyrroline N-oxides with 2-chloro-2-cyclopropylideneacetates underwent a cascade ring enlargement process in the presence of a base affording 5-oxo-indolizidinone derivatives <06JOC2417>.

Nitrone 1,3-DC reactions are still the most general approach to isoxazolidines. The stereocontrol is usually achieved by the use of chiral nitrones and/or dipolarophiles, but new interesting achievements on Lewis acid catalyzed cycloadditions are also frequently reported. Tris(6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanatedionate) europium(III) [Eu(fod)3] selectively activated the Z-isomer of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrone 75 existing as an E,Zequilibrium mixture by forming the (Z)-75-Eu(fod)3 complex.

Bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-Ce(IV) triflate complex 78 catalyzed the enantioselective 1,3-DC of acyclic nitrones with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles. For example, C-phenyl N-benzyl nitrone reacted with 77 in the presence of 78 to give the adduct 79 with excellent diastereoand enantioselectivity. Isoxazolidine 79 was then converted into β'-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives by hydrogenation of the N-O bond in the presence of Pd(OH)2/C and cleavage of the 2-acyl imidazole with MeOTf in MeCN <06OL3351>.

The 1,3-DC of nitrone 80 with maleimide 81 is a new example of recognition-mediated reaction. The association between the urea moiety in 80 and the carboxylate ion in 81c and 81d triggers a pseudointramolecular cycloaddition resulting in increased reaction rate and diastereoselectivity. A slower reaction with essentially no stereocontrol was observed using dipolarophiles lacking the carboxylate recognition site such as 81a and 81b. The recognition site on maleimide could be switched ‘on’ and ‘off’ in situ by the addition of base and acid, respectively <06CC3684>. t-Bu HN

3-O-Allyl carbohydrate nitrones prepared from aldehydes 84 with PhNHOH in aqueous media in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) underwent highly regio- and stereoselective intramolecular cycloaddition at room temperature. In all cases the exclusive formation of a single isomer was observed. In particular, the more substituted prenyl derivatives gave pyran derivatives such as 87, whereas the corresponding allyl and crotyl compounds afforded the bridged isoxazolidines 85 and 86 containing an oxepane ring <06JOC345>. No reaction was observed in water without CTAB or under neat conditions, whereas in conventional organic solvents a mixture of isomers was generally obtained. Ph R1 N H H O O H

tosylate and nosylate R-88 were respectively converted into the enantiomeric isoxazolidines S-91 and R-91. Treatment of the tosyl derivative 88 (R=Ts) with PhthNOH caused the selective opening of the epoxide ring with formation of R-89 that cyclised to S-90 upon addition of methanol and NEt3. On the contrary, the nosyl group in 88 (R=Ns) underwent direct displacement by PhthNOH with conservation of the oxirane ring, which was then opened with HCl. Eventually, chlorohydrin S-92 gave R-90 by treatment with NEt3 in MeOH <06TL7635>. HO

A parallel synthesis of novel pyrrole-oxazole analogues of the insecticide PirateTM was performed through the dehydration of acylaminoketones with POCl3<06S1975>. A multipurpose mesofluidic flow reactor was developed for the automated synthesis of libraries of 4,5-disubstituted oxazoles. The process was based on the known reaction of alkylisocyanoacetates and acylchlorides <06OL5231>. Considering the reactivity and the transformations of the oxazole nucleus, some examples of new reactivity were described as well as the application of known reactions to the oxazole nucleus. The ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) promoted oxidation of oxazoles with various substitution patterns was investigated and yielded the corresponding imides 108 in good yields, tolerating a wide variety of functional groups and substituents on the oxazole moiety <06OL5669>.

OXAZOLINES
New simple methodologies for the synthesis of variously substituted 2-oxazolines exploit aldehydes and amino alcohols as starting materials. For instance, the reaction of aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes with amino alcohols in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide as oxidizing agent allowed the one-pot preparation of compounds 122 under mild reaction conditions and in high yields <06S2996>. Analogously, treatment of aromatic aldehydes and 2-aminoethanol with pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (PHPB) in water led to 2-aryl-4,5dihydrooxazoles 123 <06SL1479>. The copper(I)-catalyzed reaction of aldehydes and methyl isocyanoacetate afforded ester derivatives 124 in almost quantitative yields and high diastereoselectivity in favor of the trans diastereomer <06TL8641>. 2

A direct catalytic conversion of esters, lactones, and carboxylic acids to oxazolines was efficiently achieved by treatment with amino alcohols in the presence of the tetranuclear zinc cluster Zn4(OCOCF3)6O as catalyst, essential for condensation and cyclodehydration reactions. For example, the use of (S)-valinol allowed the easy synthesis of oxazolines 125 and 126 in satisfactory yields <06CC2711>. A one-pot direct preparation of various 2substituted oxazolines (as well as benzoxazoles and oxadiazoles) was also performed from carboxylic acids and amino alcohols (or aminophenols or benzhydrazide) using Deoxo-Fluor reagent <06TL6497>. Bromoamidation of cyclic olefins allowed the synthesis of bicyclic oxazolines. For instance, treatment of cyclohexene with N-bromoacetamide as the halogen source and different nitriles at 0 °C, in the presence of SnCl4 or BF3.Et2O and water, led to oxazolines 128 through intermediate trans-bromoamides 127. The scope of the bromoamidation appears quite broad with regard to olefinic and nitrile components <06JA9644>.

Cyclization of N-alkenylamides to 2-oxazolines was achieved in very mild conditions with tert-butyl hypoiodite <06OL3335>. The 5-exo-dig gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of propargylic trichloroacetimidates 129 proceeded with remarkably efficiency under very mild conditions to give 4-methylene-4,5-dihydrooxazoles 130 in good yields. The mildness of the protocol was clearly responsible for the lack of isomerization of the final products to the corresponding, thermodynamically more stable, oxazoles <06OL3537>. O R1

Tripodal oxazolines 136a,b were synthesized from protected (3-hydroxyphenyl)glycinol 134 and tricarboxylic acids 135a,b in a one-pot reaction. Deprotection followed by generation of the corresponding phenoxide ions and subsequent treatment with 4bromomethylpyridine afforded preorganized C3 symmetric pyridyl-oxazolines 137a,b in 62 and 53% overall yields, respectively. Mixing 137b and trans-Pd(OTf)2(PEt3)2 in a 2:3 molar ratio gave homochiral dimeric cage 138b with two well-defined internal binding sites for molecular recognition of ammonium and enantiomeric α-chiral organoammonium ions <06CC1136>. Analogous tripodal oxazoline-based artificial receptors were synthesized and exploited for dopamine recognition in water <06JOC38> while related bis(oxazolinyl)phenols 139 were applied as fluorescence sensors towards primary amines even capable of enantio-discriminating α-chiral amines <06T11645>.

Five-membered ring systems with O & N atoms
Great attention is still devoted to the synthesis and applications of enantiopure oxazoline ligands and recent results related to the use of C2-symmetric bis-oxazoline ligands in asymmetric catalysis have been reviewed <06CRV3561>. Concerning mono-oxazoline derivatives, two libraries of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-oxazoline ligands 140a,b have been synthesized and their iridium(I) complexes successfully tested in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins <06CEJ4550>. A series of enantiopure thiophene mono-oxazoline N,O-ligands 141 with three sites of diversity were also prepared in two steps from the corresponding thiophene carbonitriles and applied to the enantioselective phenyl transfer reaction of aldehydes <06TA2442>. A new family of optically active phosphine-oxazoline P,N-ligands 142 has been synthesized and evaluated in asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) reactions (ees up to 97%) <06T11470>. Different regioisomers of aromatic-substituted phosphinyl-oxazolinyl-[2.2]paracyclophanes <06JOC4609> and some aza-paracyclophaneoxazoline N-oxides <06TL8611> were prepared and tested in AAA reactions and allylation of aldehydes, respectively. Novel planar chiral PHOX ligands with a pentamethylferrocene backbone were synthesized and applied in Pd-catalyzed AAA reactions (ees up to 94%) <06JOC2486> while the use of P,N-ferrocenyl-oxazoline ligands with electron-rich or electron-deficient aryl groups on the P atom allowed high diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98%) in Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-DC of azomethine ylides to nitroalkenes <06AG(E)1979>. New chiral phosphine-oxazoline ligands 143 (SIPHOX) with a rigid and bulky spirobiindane scaffold were prepared in four steps in 40-64% overall yields: the corresponding iridium complexes catalyzed the hydrogenation of acyclic N-aryl ketimines (ees up to 97%) <06JA12886>. Excellent results (ees up to 99%) in the iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of imines and olefins were also obtained with 2-aza-norbornane-phosphineoxazoline ligands <06CEJ2318>. Potentially tridentate P,N,N-quinazoline-oxazolinecontaining ligands 144 have been synthesized and applied to Pd(0)-catalyzed AAA reactions <06OL5109>.

The synthesis of different C2-symmetric bis-oxazoline ligands, such as 145, with an axialunfixed biaryl backbone has been reported as well as their diastereomeric equilibrium in solution and their application to Cu-catalyzed cyclopropanation of styrene with diazoacetate <06TA767>. A three-step procedure allowed the synthesis of C2-bis-oxazoline-amide ligands 146, tested in Pd-catalyzed AAA (ee’s up to 98%) <06JOC6451>. Chiral C2- and C1symmetric bis-oxazolines with a cyclopentane backbone have been prepared and studied in transfer hydrogenation, cyclopropanation and Diels-Alder reactions <06TA620>. The synthesis of highly modular N,Y,Z,Y,N-pentadentate bis-oxazolines (Y = N, O, S; Z = N, NO, OH, OMe) such as 147 led to a variety of ligands in diastereo- and enantiomerically pure form exploited for the construction of helical metal complexes with predetermined chirality <06T9973>. Single enantiomer, chiral donor-acceptor metal complexes were synthesized via the self-discriminating Zn(II)-complexation of a pseudoracemic mixture of donor/acceptorsubstituted bis-oxazoline derivatives <06OL2759>. Chiral pyridyl-bis-oxazolines (Pybox)

Metal-complexes of azabis-oxazolines efficiently catalyzed the addition of indoles to benzylidene malonates <06OL6099> and to nitroalkenes <06OL2115> (up to 98-99% ee) as well as addition of nitroalkanes to nitroalkenes <06JA7418>. Aldol reactions of pyridine N-oxide aldehydes were performed in high yields and diastereoselectivity and in excellent enantioselectivity in the presence of chiral copper(II)-bis(oxazoline) complexes <06CEJ3472>. A novel route to cyclopropane derivatives has been described from 2-(1,1dimethylalkyl)dimethyloxazolines 148a (R1 = Me): conversion into 1,3-diiodides 149 via Pdcatalyzed sequential C-H activation and then radical cyclization led to 2-(1alkylcyclopropyl)dimethyloxazolines 150 in satisfactory yields <06OL5685>. The corresponding aryl derivatives 148b (R2 = Ph) were subjected to Pd-catalyzed alkylation of aryl C-H bonds with sp3 organotin reagents using benzoquinone as a crucial promoter to give derivatives 151 <06JA78>.

The formation of 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones by the reaction of phosgene or diphosgene with amino alcohols is a well established reaction, proceeding with retention of configuration of the stereocenters of the original amino alcohol. However exceptions were found with substrates containing the (2,3-anti)-3-amino-1,2-diol moiety. As an example, the reaction of amino alcohol 163 with phosgene and diphosgene was described. The two reactions gave

dipolarophile, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole C-2 and C-5 substituents, the tether lengths and sites, and the central heterocycle were examined. For instance, derivatives 173, bearing a tethered indole as the dipolarophile trap of the in situ generated carbonyl ylide and different tethered dienophiles, were successfully exploited leading in each case to a single diastereomer of the cycloadducts 174 <06JA10589>. Treatment of acylated adenosine-N-oxides with carboxylic acid anhydrides in the presence of thiophenol produced 4-(5-substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl) nucleoside analogues.

6.1.1 INTRODUCTION The presence of pyridines in an abundant number of natural products <06JA11799; 06JOC8384; 06TL6183; 06EJO4916; 06OL2309; 06TL3489> and pharmaceutically active compounds <06JMC607; 06BMC4466; 06JMC971; 06JMC1939; 06JMC7278; 06JMC4698> continues to fuel the desire to develop new and improved methods for their synthesis as well as the synthesis of their benzo derivatives. Azacoumarins have been shown to be versatile biodynamic agents <06CUMC2795>. There have also been reviews on quinoline derivatives and their antibiotic properties in multidrug resistant Enterobacter Aerogenes isolates <06CDC843>. A number of important reviews highlighting the preparation of pyridines and their benzo derivatives have been published in 2006, including the synthesis of quinolines using the Skraup and Doebner-Miller methods <06CHC701>. Fallahpour et al. discussed the utilization of oligopyridines as ligands in coordination chemistry <06COS19>. The reaction of triallylboranes with pyridines and isoquinolines, as well as other heterocycles, was reviewed as a versatile approach to the construction of bicyclic and polycyclic nitrogen heterocycles <06PAC1357>. This chapter includes a summary of the methods developed for the syntheses and reactions of pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, and piperidines that were disclosed in the literature in 2006. It will cover selected advances in the field and will serve as an update to the review published last year in this volume.
6.1.2
PYRIDINES
6.1.2.1 Preparation of Pyridines Cyclocondensations are one of the most widely used methods for preparing pyridines and dihydropyridines. The reaction is routinely employed in the synthesis of biologically important pyridines <06JMC607; 06TL1261; 06T2799; 06JHC101; 06OL899; 06BMC4466; 06JMC3244; 06BMC5481; 06JMC3809; 06BMC8176; 06JHC1169; 06SC97; 06SC1549; 06S1664> and those of interest in material sciences <06JOC1009; 06S1295; 06JOC4862; 06S2873; 06SC1721; 06TL837; 06JHC1177>. In general, cyclocondensations are catalyzed by base, Brønsted, and Lewis acids (e.g., Yb(OTf)3 <06TL1261>, AlCl3 <06BMC8176>, and Sc(OTf)3 <06OL3473>). Recently, efforts have been focused on employing multicomponent cyclocondensation reactions as one-pot procedures to conveniently synthesize diverse arrays

of pyridine derivatives in an efficient, cost effective, and often times environmentally friendly manner <06JMC607; 06JHC985; 06OL899; 06S2873; 06SC1721; 06TL837>. For example, a one-step, three-component cyclocondensation procedure for the synthesis of pyridines and 1,4-dihydropyridines has been described <06OL899>. As shown below, structurally diverse aldehydes 1 combine with two equivalents of malononitrile 2 and various thiols 3 to form 2-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-sulfanylpyridines 4 and the corresponding 1,4dihydropyridines 5 in good yields.

The Hantzsch synthesis of pyridines is a cyclocondensation method of considerable importance. This route traditionally involves the condensation of four components, including two molecules of ȕ-carbonyl compounds, an aldehyde, and ammonia to form 1,4dihydropyridines, which can be aromatized into pyridines <06JOC1725; 06SC665; 06JCO829>. The reaction has conveniently been adapted to solid supported synthesis <06SC665> and liquid-phase synthesis <06JCO829>. In a novel solution phase approach, the preparation of dihydropyridine 6 has been achieved by reacting ionic liquid-phase bound ȕ-oxo ester 7 with dimedone 8 and aldehyde 9 in good yields and high purities. Additional adaptations have been made to improve the Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine synthesis. These modified routes generally involve the addition of enones with ȕ-enaminones under conventional thermal conditions <06BMC4842; 06H2087; 06JHC1217> and microwave assisted conditions <06OBC3664; 06OBC3980>.

As improvements in Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine syntheses have occurred, attention has also been focused on advancing the aromatization processes used to produce pyridines from these precursors. The utility of several oxidizing agents has been explored, including DDQ <06JFC865>, iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) <06S451>, sodium periodate catalyzed by Mn(III)salophen complex <06BMC2720> or polystyrene-bound Mn(III) porphyrin <06CJC1>, molecular oxygen catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and Cu(OAc)2 <06T2492>, and silica gel-supported bis(trimethylsilyl)chromate <06SC77>. Other improvements in the aromatization process have led to a rapid microwave-assisted reaction using commercially available manganese dioxide (in the absence of an inorganic support) <06S1283> and to a more environmentally friendly, yet effective oxidizing method utilizing methanesulfonic acid

and sodium nitrite in the presence of wet SiO2 under heterogeneous and solvent free conditions <06JHC199>. Several related polar cyclization processes have also been reported for the synthesis of pyridines <06T8398; 06BMC2837; 06JA4453; 06T6222; 06SL1437> and pyridinones <06JOC1094; 06T3959; 06S2777; JHC1105; 06BMCL5668; 06JOC9895; 06JOC8146>. In some cases, the Vilsmeier reagent is used to effect the cyclization <06T8398; 06BMC2837>. As shown below, several chloronicotinaldehydes 12 are synthesized via the reaction of enamides 13 with the Vilsmeier reagent, generated by three different methods and at varying concentrations <06T8398>.

In addition to polar cyclization processes, pericyclic reactions are also used to produce pyridines and hydropyridines. Many of the most current strategies employ [4+2] cycloadditions to produce dihydropyridines, which can easily be converted to pyridines in a number of ways including oxidation or elimination processes. The nitrogen of the pyridine ring can be incorporated either via the diene (e.g., 1- or 2-azadienes <06H975; 06JOC3494; 06T5454; 06JA11799; 06H815; 06T1095; 06SC1521; 06T7661; 06JOC8384>, oxazoles <06BMC2209>, 1,2,4-triazines <06TL869; 06T5736; 06TL7025>, or pyrazines <06BMCL4537>) or via the dienophile (activated imine or nitrile <06S2551>). The utility of this hetero-Diels–Alder approach to pyridines is demonstrated by its application in several syntheses of natural products as the key regioselective step <06H975; 06JA11799; 06SC1521; 06JOC8384; 06T5736>. The scope and efficiency of [4+2] cycloaddition reactions used for the synthesis of pyridines continue to improve. Recently, the collection of dienes participating in aza-Diels– Alder reactions has expanded to include 3-phosphinyl-1-aza-1,3-butadienes, 3-azatrienes, and 1,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)buta-1,3-dienes (1,3-bis silyl enol ethers), which form phosphorylated, vinyl-substituted, and 2-(arylsulfonyl)-4-hydroxypyridines, respectively <06T1095; 06T7661; 06S2551>. In addition, efforts to improve the synthetic efficiency have been notable, as illustrated with the use of microwave technology. As shown below, a synthesis of highly functionalized pyridine 14 from 3-siloxy-1-aza-1,3-butadiene 15 (conveniently prepared from ȕ-keto oxime 16) and electron-deficient acetylenes utilizes microwave irradiation to reduce reaction times and improve yields <06T5454>.

Likewise, an efficient one-pot multicomponent synthesis of annelated 2-amino pyridines (e.g., 17) utilizing [4+2] cycloadditions has been described <06JOC3494>. The process involves the in situ generation of 1-aza-1,3-butadiene from a palladium-catalyzed couplingisomerization reaction of aryl halides (e.g., 18) with propargyl N-tosylamines (e.g., 19). The resulting butadiene then undergoes cycloadditions with N,S-ketene acetals (e.g., 20) to form annelated pyridines (e.g., 17).

Another pericyclic transformation commonly used to synthesize pyridines is the cyclotrimerization reaction <06ASC2307>. Traditionally, this approach involves a transition metal-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of diynes with nitriles. A variety of catalysts are capable of effecting this transformation, including cobalt <06T968; 06CC1313>, ruthenium <06OL3565; 06JA4592>, rhodium <06EJO3917; 06OL3489>, and nickel <06JOC5834> complexes and with the appropriate catalyst system (i.e., cationic rhodium(I)/modifiedBINAP complex), the aza-cyclotrimerization can be achieved chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectively <06EJO3917; 06OL3489>. Aza- [2+2+2] cycloadditions of diynes with nitriles can lead to a variety of fused pyridines, including those that are highly substituted and sterically hindered <06T968; 06OL3565; 06EJO3917; 06OL3489; 06JOC5834>. Additionally, non-fused pyridines can be available via this route, as demonstrated by a solid-supported, cobalt-catalyzed cyclotrimerization shown below <06CC1313>. Various alkynes 21 and nitriles 22 were combined with polymer bound propargylic alcohol 23 to rapidly construct libraries of diverse pyridines 25 in good yields and purities. R1

Recently, a method for synthesizing substituted pyridines incorporating 3-azadienynes as substrates in ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerizations was described <06JA4592>. This route is a two-step process that first converts readily available N-vinyl or N-arylamides (e.g., 26) to the corresponding C-silyl alkynyl imines (e.g., 27) and subsequent rutheniumcatalyzed protodesilylation and cycloisomerization results in the formation of the corresponding substituted pyridines (e.g., 28). 1. 1.2 equiv Tf20 4.0 equiv 2-Cl-pyr CH2Cl2

In addition to the examples above, several other interesting methods for synthesizing pyridines, hydropyridines, and pyridinones have recently been described. Routes involving pericyclic reactions as the key step include tandem [2+2] cycloadditions/electrocyclic ring openings <06JOC5328>, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions <06T6398>, electrocyclic ring closures <06OL2611; 06BMC4341>, aza-Cope rearrangements <06S2085>, and aza-Wittig reactions <06JOC6020; 06T4128>. Additionally, palladium-mediated Heck reactions <06TL3225; 06JOC8602>, electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions <06CC2586; 06BMC5765>, and 6-endo N-lithioketimine cyclizations <06JOC8565> have been employed to produce pyridine derivatives. 6.1.2.2 Reactions of Pyridines Palladium reactions have continued to dominate the reactions of pyridines in the literature of 2006. Material scientists have utilized the palladium chemistry of pyridine to assemble various core structures <06TL3471; 06CC4744; 06JOC4155; 06S1141; 06CC2071>. Medicinal chemists have also utilized a large assortment of palladium chemistry in the construction of pyridine-containing targets. Many Sonogashira reactions have been performed on halopyridines <06BMCL4788; 06BMCL4792; 06EJM847; 06BMCL2270; 06JMC3581; 06S243; 06JOC8673; 06T2465>. While Suzuki reactions use both pyridylboronic acids <06AG(I)1282; 06SL53> and halopyridines <06JOC2000; 06T11734; 06S2855; 06BMCL4283; 06JMC7450; 06JMC2210; 06T6945>. Two different groups have examined Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of amino-chloropyridines with various substitution patterns <06AG(I)3484; 06OL1787>. Stille reactions employ both halo<06BMC6202; 06BMCL3150; 06BMCL3740; 06JHC1311; 06BMCL3209> and stannylpyridines <06OL2123; 06BMCL6832; 06BMCL3424; 06JMC2673> in cross-coupling reactions to obtain compounds of interest. Moreover, Heck reactions incorporate vinylpyridines as substrates <06BMCL3201> in addition to halopyridines <06JOC6302; 06BMCL4048; 06JOC2922; 06BMCL5378>. All of these palladium reactions may be used in concert to incorporate a large amount of diversity into a heterocycle very efficiently <06BMCL1175; 06TL8917; 06BMCL1679; 06BMCL2000; 06EJO4257; 06JMC5324; 06OL3549; 06BMCL4567; 06BMCL3197; 06TL2337; 06T5862>. Scott and Maes separately utilized tandem palladium-catalyzed amination cyclization sequences to prepare imidazopyridiones and dipyridoimidazoles, respectively <06JOC260; 06SL2083>. Likewise, Cvetovich and Chung synthesized naphthyridinone via palladium-catalyzed Heck-lactamization <06JOC8610; 06JOC8602>. Beebe et al. utilized a sequential van Leusen–Heck reaction to prepare a fused imidazopyridine <06TL3225>. The regioselectivity of Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of 2,4-dibromopyridine 29 have been examined by Cid et al. <06T11063>. They report two catalytic systems for the Suzuki coupling of 2,4-dibromopyridine 29 and arylboronic acids, which lead to a highly selective method for the preparation of 30 or 31. This illustrates that the C-Br bond at the 2-position of the pyridine ring is more reactive toward palladium insertion than the C-Br bond at the 4position. The scheme below exemplifies how the alteration of ligands, solvent, and additives can modify the major product of this reaction. Anhydrous conditions facilitate high selectivity for preparation of 4-bromo-2-arylpyridine 30. Conversely, for the preparation of the symmetrical 2,4-diarylpyridine 31, the presence of water is instrumental in the optimization of the reaction.

In addition to being substrates for palladium reactions, pyridines are also utilized as ligands for palladium <06H1233>. Pleixats et al. exploited the complexation of pyridine to palladium to create a silica-bonded, reusable catalysts for Suzuki coupling reactions <06TL2399>. Organ and co-workers developed a series of NHC-PdCl2-3-chloropyridine (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes that are easily reduced to a highly active Pd0NHC species, readily prepared in large scale and air stable <06CEJ4743>. Yu et al. developed two new types of unsymmetrical pyridyl-supported pyrazolyl-NHC ligands for the assembly of transition metal catalysts <06JOC5274>. The application of these ligands as palladium complexes was explored; they exhibited good to excellent catalytic activity in the Suzuki–Miyaura reactions. Furthermore, palladium chemistry has also been used to form C-N and C-O bonds on pyridines. The latter has been utilized in the synthesis of oxygen substituted biologically active pyridines <06EJM640; 06TL5333>. In the formation of C-N bonds this chemistry has also been used to prepare compounds of biological interest that contain amino-pyridine moieties <06BMCL3249; 06JOC7322> in addition to amino-substituted terpyridines <06S2585; 06TL5079>, and pyridines that contain macrocycles <06TL2691>. Moreover, a palladium-catalyzed amidation reaction was used in the preparation a 2,3-fused pyridyl urea a potential drug target <06S2716>. Yu and Che reported a catalytic amidation based on a cascade chelation-directed cyclopalladation approach <06JA9048>, illustrated in the preparation of amide 32 from 2-phenylpyridine 33 via the cyclic palladium intermediate 34.

Some amination reactions, while unsuccessful under palladium conditions, are accomplished via copper-catalyzed reaction <06BMCL5309; 06JMC3753; 06TL6011; 06T4756; 06BMCL2689; 06JMC3719; 06BMCL4400>. Yu and co-workers capitalized on the extensive literature of pyridyl as a directing group in C-H activation in a copper-catalyzed acetoxylation and halogenation of aryl C-H bonds to yield 35 and 36, respectively <06JA6790>. This new reaction can also be applied to cyanation to form 37, amination, esterification, and thioesterification of C-H bonds. Selected examples are shown in the scheme below. The broad scope of this reaction is postulated to be a result of the mechanism. The authors propose a single electron transfer to the pyridine, leading to a radical-cation intermediate. The radical-cation intermediate then reacts with available nucleophiles and facilitates formation of many possible products.

Fluorine containing pyridines are of interest in medicinal chemistry due to their unique electronic effects <06JOC9420>. Two groups over the last year have attempted to improve both electrophilic and nucleophilic fluorination of pyridines. Hoyte et al. enhanced the nucleophilic fluorination of pyridines using microwave conditions <06BMCL3454>. Kinetic experiments showed an average relative rate ratio of 3:1 for microwave versus conventional heating methods. Similarly, Sanford and co-workers describe the development of the first palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/C-F bond-forming reaction with electrophilic fluorine under oxidative conditions, utilizing microwave irradiation <06JA7134>. This has been illustrated with the ortho-fluorination of 2-phenylpyridine 38 generating difluoro 39 in good yield. F N

Additional publications from Sanford et al. describe the full exploration of palladiumcatalyzed chelate-directed chlorination, bromination, and iodination of arenes using Nhalosuccinimides as the terminal oxidant <06T11483>. Moreover, an electrophilic fluorination of dihalopyridine-4-carboxaldehydes was reported by Shin et al. <06JFC755>. This was accomplished via transmetalation of the bromo derivative, followed by treatment with N-fluorobenzenesulfinimide as the source of electrophilic fluorine. Several groups have studied the free radical chemistry of pyridines. Schiesser and coworkers used a free radical rearrangement of 2-selenopyridines to prepare seleniumcontaining antioxidants <06OBC466>. Additionally, Burgos and co-workers examined the radical cyclization and atom transfer reactions of pyridyl radicals in the preparation of annulated pyridines <06TL8343>. Pyridylmethyl radicals, prepared by direct selenation of 2methylpyridines, have also been shown to undergo 5-exo-trig and 6-exo-trig cyclization under standard free-radical conditions <06TL553>. Zard et al. presented a more unique free radical reaction of pyridines <06CC4422>. An unprecedented radical ring closure onto the pyridine nitrogen was observed when certain protecting groups were present in close proximity to the pyridine nucleus. This result was obtained upon changing the protecting group of the 2-aminopyridine 40 from acetyl to the more versatile t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group. Under otherwise identical conditions, alteration of the protecting group resulted in the formation of a different product. It was determined by X-ray and other spectroscopic means that the unexpected product 41, was formed from ring closure onto the pyridine nitrogen followed by electron transfer of the resulting radical to the peroxide generating a radical anion, quenching of the radical anion leads to a tetrahedral intermediate, which then collapses to give the observed pyridone 41.

Sulfur containing pyridines have been shown to display interesting chemistry. Pyridine disulfides have been used as a sulfenylating agent with a phosphine-promoted desulfurative allylic rearrangement to fuctionalize thiols <06OL3593>. Tanaka and co-workers have reported an N-glycosylation, which uses a newly designed glycosyl donor bearing a pyridylmethyl group on the sulfur <06TL5147>. This moiety facilitates C-S bond cleavage via bidentate coordination of S and N atoms to Lewis acid activators. N-2-Pyridylmethyl thioamides have been reported to participate in an iodine-mediated oxidative desulfurization cyclization, which is an efficient method for preparation of 2-azaindolizines <06OL5621>. Pyridinedithioesters were used as a proficient heterodienophile when complexed with BF3 <06OL1033>. A hetero-Diels–Alder reaction using 3-pyridinedithioester 43 was used to generate a key intermediate 44 in the synthesis of racemic Aprikalim 45 as illustrated below. S S N 43

Due to their electron deficient character, pyridines are susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Rudler et al. has studied the reaction of pyridines with bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals <06TL4553; 06TL4561>. In one instance, they examine the reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals with 2-phenylpyridines activated with chromium tricarbonyl to give pyridine-substituted bicyclic -lactones. This reaction allows for the formation of up to five stereogenic centers in two-steps. A second report describes successive double nucleophilic additions of bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals to pyridines. Modification of substituents on the ketene acetal and starting lactones makes it possible to drive the addition reactions either toward formation of tetrahydropyridines or the formation of highly substituted piperdines stereoselectively.

Clayden and co-workers reported the dearomatiztion of an electron-deficient pyridine ring via intramolecular cyclization of an enolate shown in the scheme above <06OL5325>. Generation of the amino acid derived enolate of 46, with simultaneous activation of the pyridine ring by N-acylation, leads to a stereoselective transition state 47. The authors postulate that the stereoselectivity arises from the manner in which the bulky PMP (p-

methoxy phenyl) group controls the approach of the enolate. This results in an enantiomerically enriched diazaspirocyclic amino acid derivative such as 48. 6.1.2.3 Pyridine N-Oxides and Pyridinium Salts Pyridinium salts continue to be targets of interests for several different applications. Bererine derivatives, which originated from Chinese herbal medicine, have been synthesized for examination of their antihyperglycemic activity <06BMCL1380>. These natural products are also of interest for their interactions with G-quadruples DNA structures <06BMCL1707>. The inhibitory activity of pyridinium salts towards acetylcholinesterase was also reported recently <06BMC472>. Moreover, Köck reported the first total synthesis of viscosamine, a natural product containing a pyridinium salt moiety <06S2580>. Material science applications of pyridinium salts include non-linear optics <06T7817; 06EJO2727; 06ACR3838> and chiral room-temperature ionic liquids <06JOC9857; 06JFC159; 06EJO3791>. Additionally, their unique physicochemical and photophysical properties make pyridinium salts important compounds for electron transfer sensitizers <06JOC315>, photosensitizers <06JA7510>, and self-assembled films <06JA2142>. Over the past year, the dearomatization of pyridinium salts has been implemented in the synthesis of indoles <06AG(I)7803> and less obviously triazolyldienes <06JOC7805>. Typically, pyridinium salts are prepared through reaction of an intact pyridine with electrophiles. Marazano et al. used a three-component process as entry into 3-substituted pyridinium salts for the preparation of 49 as shown below <06TL5503>. O

3-Substituted pyridinium salts of this nature were difficult to obtain by other methods. This sequence is initiated with condensation of the anions of imine 50 with malonaldehyde monoacetals 51 to access glutaconaldehyde monoacetals 52. The monoacetal-aldehyde was then reacted with primary amines (n-BuNH2) to give 3-substituted pyridinium salts 49. When the silylimino derivative (R1=Si(CH3)3) was used, substantially higher yields of intermediate glutaconaldehydes were obtained. The utilization of solid-support pyridinium salts in the synthesis of bicyclic pyridines has been reported. Yue et al. synthesized 1,2,3,7-tetrasubstituted indolizines using poly(ethyleneglycol)bound pyridinium salts <06JHC781>. The PEG-bound pyridinium salts 53 were reacted with alkenes or alkynes in the presence of Et3N, via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, to give polymer-bound indolizines 54 and 55, respectively. Liberation of the heterocycle with KCN/MeOH afforded 1,2,3,7-tetrasubstituted indolizines 56 and 57 in good to excellent yield. O

Similarly, Yli-Kauhaluoma and co-workers have studied the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of polymer-bound alkynes to azomethine imines, generated in situ from N-aminopyridine iodides, in the synthesis of pyrazolopyridines <06JCC344>. Dudley and co-workers have designed pyridinium triflate reagent 58 for the preparation of benzyl ethers <06JOC3923>. This reagent is easily prepared in two steps with good yield. Since it is also bench-stable and preactivated, the benzylation reaction occurs upon warming 58 in the presence of an alcohol with no need for acidic or basic promoters. R Cl

A key reaction of pyridinium salts continues to be nucleophilic addition to form dihydropyridines or pyridinones. Specifically, the reaction of Grignard reagents with Nacylpyridinium salts has been used to generate pivotal pyridinone intermediates in the total synthesis of (-)-Barrenazines <06OL2985> and (-)-FR901483 <06JOC9393>. Lavilla et al. examined the addition of isocyanides to pyridinium salts 59 as an efficient entry into substituted nicotinonitrile derivatives 60 <06OL5789>. The electron-withdrawing group helps to stabilize the nitrilium intermediate. The carboxamido group also undergoes dehydration in the generation of the observed product 60. CN

Another classic reaction of pyridinium salts is reduction of the pyridine ring. Donohoe and co-workers reported the partial reduction of N-alkylpyridinium salts <06OBC1071>, which is accompanied by subsequent alkylation and hydrolysis to furnish a range of 2,3dihydropyrid-4-ones. This sequence has the potential to introduce a variety of functional groups at the C-2 position of 2,3-dihydropyrid-4-ones. Reduction of pyridinium ylides with sodium borohydride has also been reported in fair to good yields <06JHC709>. Both pyridinium salts and pyridine N-oxides are of increased interest as chiral catalysts in organic reactions. Connon and Yamada independently designed and examined pyridinium salts as chiral catalysts in the acylation of secondary alcohols <06OBC2785; 06JOC6872>. These two catalysts can be used for kinetic resolution of various sec-alcohols and dl-diols in good to moderate enantiomeric excess. Pyridine N-oxides have been utilized as asymmetric catalysts in the allylation of aldehydes <06JOC1458> and in the Strecker reaction <06T4071>. In the latter, the chiral Noxides played a key role in the initial activation of the Si-C bond by coordinating an O atom to the Si atom of silyl cyanide and stabilizing the three-membered complex proposed by the

authors. The preparation of these types of chiral N-oxide catalysts by oxidative dimerization has been examined by Denmark et al. and demonstrated in the synthesis of many chiral pyridine N-oxides <06TA687>. Alternatively, Sanfilippo and co-workers have examined the enzymatic kinetic resolution of pyridine N-oxides to produce several chiral N-oxides <06TA12>. Pro-chiral pyridine N-oxides have also been used as substrates in asymmetric processes. Jørgensen and co-workers explored the catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction between ketene silyl acetals 61 and pyridine N-oxide carboxaldehydes 62 <06CEJ3472>. The process is catalyzed by a copper(II)-bis(oxazoline) complex 63 which gave good yields and diastereoselectivities with up to 99% enantiomeric excess.

Pyridine N-oxides have been exploited in the reaction with silylaryl triflates 64 to prepare 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridines 65 regioselectively, as illustrated below <06JOC4689>. Treatment of the silylaryl triflate 64 with cesium fluoride generates the benzyne intermediate 66, which in turn undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with the pyridine N-oxide 67 forming intermediate 68. Rearrangement of 68 to bicyclic 69 occurs rapidly; this intermediate is then deprotonated at the C-3 position to give the 3-phenyl regioisomer 65. Isomer 65 is observed when bicyclic 69 is substituted with electron-donating or electron-neutral group. The influence of electron-withdrawing groups on the pyridine ring (R = CN) facilitates deprotonation at the C-2 carbon resulting in the 2-phenyl isomer 70. N R O N

Over the past year, two additional methods were reported to reduce pyridine N-oxides to the corresponding pyridines. Sandhu and co-workers have presented an efficient and general method for the deoxygenation of N-oxides using Zn(OTf)2 and Cu(OTf)2 <06SL395>. Similarly, Fernandes et al. have developed a novel reduction method, with wide functional group tolerance, using a silane (PhSiH3) in the presence of a catalytic amount of MoO2Cl2 to produce pyridines in excellent yield.

QUINOLINES
6.1.3.1 Preparation of Quinolines The development and use of environmentally friendly methods for the synthesis of quinolines and dihydroquinolines were represented in variety of publications in 2006. Many of the reports incorporated solvent free conditions. Perurnal et al. showed that silicasupported NaHSO4 as a heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2-amino-chalcones 71 under solvent free microwave conditions results in a variety of 2,3-dihydroquinolin-4-ones 72 in high yields <06CJC1079>. Lier et al. also utilized a silica supported TaBr5 catalyst to cyclize 2-amino-chalcones 71 forming a variety of 2,3-dihydroquinolin-4-ones 72 under solvent free thermal conditions <06TL2725>. The use of silica gel supported TaBr5 under solvent free thermal conditions showed considerable improvement in yield for this cyclization compared to the reaction conducted in organic solvents.

They also reported the same reaction using BiCl3 as the catalyst under thermal conditions <06LOC289>.

In addition to their work with solvent free systems, Wang and co-workers reported a water mediated Friedländer quinoline synthesis using hydrochloric acid and conventional heating to synthesize a variety of substituted quinolines in high yields <06TL1059>. Additionally, Rivkin and co-workers synthesized a variety of 4-hydroxy-3phenylquinolin-2-(1H)-ones under solvent free microwave conditions using an activated arylmalonate <06TL2395>. Reacting the desired substituted aniline with di-(2,4,6trichlorophenyl)-2-phenyl-malonate at 250 °C with microwave irradiation for 15 min resulted in a variety of 4-hydroxy-3-phenylquinolin-2-(1H)-ones in good yields. They also demonstrated the utility of this method in the synthesis of type I fatty acid synthase inhibitors <06BMCL4620>. Kumar et al. have reported a variation of the Friedländer quinoline synthesis. They highlight the use of CeCl3•7H2O as a reusable catalyst in the reaction of 2-

A novel reaction for the synthesis of 4-amino-substituted quinolines 80 or 4-quinolones 81 was reported. Reaction of various ketones, such as 82 and 83, with o-oxazoline-substituted anilines 84 and 85 in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) in dry n-butanol led to 80 and 81, respectively <06T9365>. To the authors’ surprise, the reaction of acetophenones 82 lead to a different outcome than that of the cyclic or acyclic ketones 83 containing more than one carbons α to the ketone. 1

The use of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a catalyst for an aza-Diels–Alder reaction was reported in two different publications. In one report Perumal and co-workers react a variety of anilines 86 and aldehydes 87 with enamine 88 in the presence of 5 mol% CAN to form a series of tetrahydroquinolines 89. The reactions were performed at room temperature with very short reaction times and in good yields. In addition, the resulting tetrahydroquinolines could be oxidized to the corresponding substituted quinolines using 2.5 eq of CAN in high yields <06TL3589>.

In a similar one-pot synthesis of substituted quinolines, Wang et al. used molecular iodine (1 mol%) to catalyze the reaction between enolizable aldehydes and imines in refluxing benzene. The advantage of this method is that it is metal free, takes place with short reaction times, and produces good yields <06TL3127>. Metal-catalyzed methods for the synthesis of quinolines continue to be of interest. In an alternate new strategy, SnCl2 was used to mediate tandem reactions for the synthesis of highly functionalized quinolines 96, derived from Baylis-Hillman adducts <06T8740>. The reduction of the nitro group of 97 initiates a highly regioselective intramolecular cyclization involving the amino and carbonyl group, which is introduced through a SN2 substitution reaction as shown in the scheme below.

The synthesis of N-heterocyclic isothiocyanates has been a difficult challenge due to their propensity to oligomerize by autocatalysis. In an attempt to alleviate this issue, silver thiocyanate was used in a novel synthesis of 4-quinolyl isothiocyantes <06TL2161>. Reaction of 4-chloroquinoline with silver thiocyanate in refluxing anhydrous toluene for 12 h results in the desired product in quantitative yields and excellent purity. The asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoline continues to be of interest. Li et al. reported the asymmetric hydrogenation of a variety of 2-substituted-quinolines to the corresponding tetrahydroquinolines using an Ir-catalyst with a BINOL-derived diphosphonite ligand

<06CC2159>. The use of this catalytic system gave enantiomeric excesses ranging from 7396% with conversions of >96% in most cases. In another report involving an asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-substituted-quinolines, a [{IrCl9cod)}2]/(S)-segphos catalyst was used to achieve good enantiomeric excesses <06AG(I)2260>. In this reaction, which provides a new approach for the hydrogenation of heteroaromatic systems, the quinoline was first activated with chloroformates forming the N-acylpyridinium salt. Using a metal free Brønsted Acid catalyzed transfer hydrogenation Rueping et al. reported a new organocatalytic reduction of quinolines <06S1071> and its application in the synthesis of alkaloids <06AG(I)3683>. 2Substituted quinolines 103 are reduced in the presence of Hantzsch dihydropyridine 104 and catalyst 105 in benzene at 60 °C to give the desired tetrahydroquinolines 106 in good to high yields and high enantiomeric excess.

6.1.4 ISOQUINOLINES 6.1.4.1 Preparation of Isoquinolines The Pictet-Spengler reaction continues to be a popular area of research for the synthesis of isoquinolines. In one report it was shown that α-amino acids like L-DOPA can be reacted with benzaldehyde to form the corresponding isoquinoline in quantitative yield <06SL1903>. This Pictet-Spengler reaction was conducted under very mild conditions, allowing the reaction to take place in the presence of unstable functional groups.

Chang et al. and Yamamoto et al. reported two notable intramolecular hydroaminations of alkynes to form tetrahydroquinolines. Chang and co-workers were able to synthesize a tetrahydroisoquinoline system using a catalytic one-pot procedure in good yield <06JA12366>. In an enantioselective approach, Yamamoto et al. have developed a palladium-catalytic intramolecular asymmetric hydroamination of alkynes using a chiral catalyst derived from Pd2(dba)3•CHCl3 and (R,R)-renorphos to form tetrahydroisoquinolines in high yield and good enantiomeric excess <06JOC4270>. 6.1.4.2 Reactions of Isoquinolines The asymmetric addition of different types of nucleophiles at the C-1 position of 3,4dihydroisoquinolines were highlighted in a number of publications. Schreiber et al. described an enantioselective addition of terminal alkynes 136 to 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium bromide 137 in the presence of triethylamine, catalytic copper bromide, and QUINAP <06OL143>.

A Pd(II)-catalyzed asymmetric addition of malonates to dihydroisoquinolines was also reported <06JA14010>. This method provides highly optically active C-1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines in good yields. An efficient asymmetric hydrocyanation of 6,7dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline to yield 1-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline was also described <06SL1595>. This asymmetric Strecker reaction, which utilizes Jacobsen’s thiourea-containing catalyst, resulted in high yield and high enantiomeric excess of tetrahydroisoquinolines. In another report, the enantioselective addition of vinylzinc reagents

to 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline N-oxides were shown to produce the desired 1-substituted 1,2,3,4tetrahydroisoquinolines in good yields and high enantiomeric excess. However, to achieve these high enantiomeric excesses, 1.2 equivalents of chiral ligand must be used <06OL3979>. An asymmetric hydrogenation of isoquinolines that were first activated with chloroformates was reported by Zhou and co-workers using an [{IrCl9cod)}2]/(S)-segphos catalyst to synthesize 1,2-dihydroisoquinolines with good enantiomeric excesses <06AG(I)2260>. In another asymmetric hydrogenation, 1-substituted-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines were reduced using a water soluble ruthenium(II)complex catalyst in water with sodium formate as the hydrogen source. This environmentally friendly method resulted in high yields and high enantiomeric excess of the desired tetrahydroquinolines <06CC1766>. Kundu et al. developed a mild and efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of dihydroindazoloisoquinolines 142 via an unprecedented SnCl2-mediated intramolecular cyclization of nitro-aryl substrates 143 <06OL1525>.

6.1.5 PIPERIDINES There have not been any comprehensive reviews related to piperidines published in the past year. A review on sulfur-nitrogen containing compounds such as sulfinimines (Nsulfinyl imines) and N-sulfonyloxaziridines includes the use of N-sulfinyl imines in the synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted 4-piperidones <06JOC8993>. Another account describes chiral cyclic imide-based synthetic methodologies for the asymmetric synthesis of naturally occurring or pharmaceutically interesting hydroxylated heterocyclic derivatives including (S)-6-alkyl-5-hydroxy-2-piperidinones and 2-alkyl-3-piperidinols <06SL1133>.

6.1.5.1 Preparation of Piperidines The application of olefin metathesis to the synthesis of piperidines continues to be widely employed. The use of ring closing metathesis (RCM) in the synthesis of fluorovinylcontaining α,β-unsaturated lactams 148 and cyclic amino acid derivatives 149 is shown below. A key improvement in these reactions is the addition of the Grubbs’ 2nd generation catalyst (G2) in small portions during the reaction to compensate for catalyst decomposition that occurs at elevated reaction temperatures <06EJO1166>. 7 mol% G2, F toluene, Bn 100 °C, 4 h R1 80% - 99% O N F R1 = H or O CH2OC(O)C(F)CH2

Two RCM reactions were employed in a new and efficient route to a key chiral intermediate, isoquinuclidine 150, in the synthesis of alkaloid (+)-catharanthine <06AG(I)5334>. The first RCM makes use of chiral enone 151, derived from L-serine, to generate a chiral dihydropyridinone 152. Intramolecular alkene metathesis of dialkenyl piperidine 153 generates 150, which represents the first example of the use of RCM in the generation of an azabicyclo[2.2.2]alkene system. O O O

Additional RCM reactions have been reported for the synthesis of piperidines and related lactams. Pearson et al. have reported the use of RCM as the key step in the generation of the piperidine ring in a synthesis of trans-3,4 iminosugars <06BMCL3262>. A RCM reaction has also been employed in the generation of fused bicyclic derivates from the octahydroquinolizine chemical class of compounds <06JMC7278>. Grubbs’ first generation Ru catalyst (G1, PhCH=RuCl2(Pcy3)2) was used in the preparation of a lactam structural analogue of the polyketide passifloricin lactone <06T4086>. Niida et al. reported the generation of diastereomeric lactams utilizing mild RCM reactions at room temperature <06JOC4118; 06OL613>. In the synthesis of cyclic β-amino esters 154 and 155, via RCM, Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst was superior, leading to lower reaction temperature and higher yields compared to those achieved with the first generation catalyst <06JOC3317>.

Other radical cyclization approaches to the synthesis of piperidines include a CANmediated stereoselective cyclization of epoxypropyl cinnamyl amines <06TL705> and a cyclization of ¢−trimethylsilylmethylamine radical cation, generated via a photoinduced electron transfer reaction to a tethered -functionality <06JOC8481>. The scheme below depicts the novel use of a carbonyl ene cyclization (A, Lewis acidcatalyzed) and a closely related Prins cyclization (B, Brønsted acid-catalyzed) to generate predominantly trans (cyclization condition A) or cis (cyclization condition B), di and tri substituted piperidines 160 and 161 <06JOC2460; 06OBC51>. Of note, in the formation of di-substituted derivatives, R1 = H and R2 = Ph, no reaction occurs under cyclization condition B and the cis isomer 160 is obtained exclusively under cyclization condition A. In the case of tri-substituted derivatives, when bulky substituents at the 2-position (R1 = t-Bu or Ph) are present the trans diastereomer 161 is obtained almost exclusively under cyclization condition A, while no diastereoselectivity is seen under cyclization condition B.

Hydroamination of olefins under most catalytic conditions proceed with Markovnikov addition of the N-H bond across the olefin. Shown below is a rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular, anti-Markovnikov, hydroamination developed for the synthesis of 3arylpiperidines 167 <06JA6042>. Further evaluation of this reaction as a synthesis of multisubstituted piperidines revealed that substrates with substituents α or γ to the amino group did not produce the expected piperidine, however, substrates with a substituent β to the amino group produce piperidines in high yield. 5 mol% [Rh(COD)(DPPB)]BF4,

Gheorghe et al. make use of sodium cyanoborohydride as a hydride source in the synthesis of 5-arylpiperidines <06OL1653>. Kellehar and Kelly report the formation of a spiro ¥-lactam using sodium borohydride in the key reductive amination step <06TL3005>. A number of reports have been published this year that describe the use of hydrogenation over various catalysts as a process to generate the source of hydride ion in reductive amination. Palladium catalysts used in these types of synthesis of various piperidines include Pd/C <06SL487; 06H2129>, Pd/CaCO3 <06OL1569>, and Pd(OH)2 <06T9942>. Reductive amination can also be performed via hydrogenation in the absence of catalyst, as reported by Calderón et al. <06JOC6258>. Finally, a one-pot hydroformylation reductive amination sequence was reported using a rhodium catalyst (HRh(CO)(PPh3)3) and XANTPHOS under microwave irradiation conditions to form cyclic enamides in good yields <06OL3725>. Nucleophilic displacement of leaving groups, such as mesylates, tosylates, triflates, or halogens, as well as nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides, cyclic sulfates, cyclic hemiacetals, or lactones is still a common route to piperidine cores. Nucleophilic displacement of mesylates, tosylates, or triflates have been used to generate diverse piperidine containing cores such as imidazolo[1,2-a]-L-arabino-piperidinoses <06EJO610>, (S)-3-hydroxypiperidin-2-one <06T7459>, trans-4-hydroxypipecolic acids <06EJO3235>, 2,3-disubstituted piperidines <06OL4051>, 2,3,4,5-substituted piperidines <06JMC2989>, a bicyclic diamine <06TL2581>, iminosugars <06S2242>, bicyclic iminosugars <06S827>, and a 2'-deoxy-2'-N,4'-C-ethylene-bridged nucleoside <06JA15173>, generally in excellent yields.

Other examples of nucleophilic ring opening of a sugar to generate an aza-sugar piperidine include the synthesis of 1-deoxy-homonojirimycin analogues <06OBC3675> and 1-deoxynojirimycin <06S1035>. Likewise, Kikuchi et al. report the nucleophilic opening of a cyclic hemiacetal to generate a 2,3-substituted piperidine <06JMC4698>. Amide bond formation as a route to piperidine lactams continues to be widely employed. Formation of the amide bond can be effected through the use of coupling reagents such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4-pyrrolidinopyridine <06TL5317>, N-hydroxysuccinimide/EDCI <06T10815>, or by direct cyclization of an amine on a methyl or ethyl ester <06T4011; 06CC674; 06TL2257; 06TL8667; 06BMCL417; 06T4907; 06AG(I)1722; 06T8731; 06BMC2620>. Bicyclic lactam 187 was generated via a Staudinger reaction to reduce the azide, followed by thermal cyclization of the amine on the ester <06SL271>. EtO2C OTBS

Intermolecular or intramolecular cyclizations via alkylation of an enolate with a large variety of electrophiles continues to have widespread usage. One form of these cyclizations involves displacement of a halogen or mesylate. Pu and Ma have reported the use of alkylative cyclization involving displacement of an iodide under mild conditions to generate a bicyclic enone in excellent yield <06JOC6562>. Kropf et al. report an intramolecular cyclization involving alkylation of an enolate, an ¢-/¢'-unsubstituted cyclohexanone, and a tethered 4-alkyl electrophile to form bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ring systems in good yields <06JOC2046>. Double intermolecular alkylation with a dibromide on methyl cyanoacetate or a bis-mesylate on indene was used to generate the piperidine core of ¢,¢-cyclic-£aminohydroxamic acids <06BMCL2699> or spiropiperidine fused indenes <06JMC4801>, respectively. Other electrophiles used in intramolecular cyclizations with enolates include esters and alkenes. Esters were utilized in the generation of 5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2pyridones <06H555> and £-keto lactams via Dieckmann condensation <06JOC4969>. Hanessian et al. report anion cyclization onto a terminal alkene and the formation of a chain extended piperidine through concomitant trapping with allylbromide <06JMC4544>. Intramolecular Mannich reactions have been used in the synthesis of piperidines. An intramolecular Mannich-type reaction was used as the key step in a highly diastereoselective and concise preparation of novel trifluoro-substituted analogues of di- and trisubstituted piperidine alkaloids <06EJO3421>. In the scheme below, an intramolecular Mannich reaction is shown as the key step in the asymmetric synthesis of the 2,3,6-trisubstituted piperidine core 188 of the antitumor Nuphar alkaloids <06JOC4222>.

The application of [4+2] cycloaddition reactions for the synthesis of piperidines has received a considerable amount of attention this year. Palacios et al. have reported the hetero-Diels–Alder reaction of 3-azatrienes with enamine pyrrolidinecyclohexanone affording hexahydroisoquinolines in 42% yield <06T7661>. Denmark and Montgomery reported the first [4+2] cycloaddition of an N-vinyl nitrone with a tethered dienophile providing a somewhat unstable tetrahydropyridine N-oxide in 86% yield <06JOC6211>. Another interesting route to a tetrahydropyridine core enlisted an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction of an electron-deficient N-sulfonyl-1-azabutadiene with an electron-rich dienophile <06JA11799>. A number of aza Diels–Alder reactions using imines as azadienes have been reported. Alves et al. reacted 3-(3-(tert-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy)buta-1,3-dienyl)oxazolidin-2-one with 2Hazirines at room temperature for 4-5 days with no catalyst to obtain cycloadducts in moderate to good yield <06T3095>. Venkatraman et al. reported the hetero Diels–Alder reaction of a chiral imine with cyclopentadiene, using catalytic BF3•O(C2H5)2, generating an azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivative <06BMCL1628>. A [4+2] cycloaddition was used in the synthesis of piperidones via a Yb(OTf)3 catalysed reaction of an imine with Danishefsky’s diene <06BMC5955>. Boglio et al. reported an improved catalyst, a weaker POM-Yb Lewis acid (TBA5H2[¢1-YbP2W17O61]) <06AG(I)3324>. An aza Diels–Alder reaction of optically active sulfinimines with the Rawal diene and catalyzed by TMSOTf is reported to lead to enantiomerically enriched dihydropyridones with enantiomeric excesses up to 90% <06TA1420>. Dandapani et al. reported a scandium triflate-catalyzed [4+2] aza-annulation

Other multicomponent reactions are exemplified in the following two schemes. A new highly diastereoselective four-component reaction was developed for the synthesis of dihydropyridones 191 substituted with an isocyanide functionality <06OL5369>, thereby generating a synthetically useful complex isocyanide for use in further reactions. In this strategy, a phosphonate, a nitrile, and an aldehyde are used to generate an azadiene intermediate 192, which is trapped by an isocyanoacetate in the same pot. R2

Raja and Perumal reported the synthesis of novel 2,6-diaryl-3-(arylthio)piperidin-4-ones via a four-component reaction consisting of arylthioacetones, 2-substituted aromatic aldehydes and methylamine or ammonium acetate <06CPB795>. Further elaboration of this four component reaction to a novel five component tandem Mannich-enamine-substitution sequence involving the reaction of ethyl 2-[(2-oxopropyl)sulfanyl]acetate, two equivalents of a substituted aromatic aldehyde, and two equivalents of ammonium acetate is shown below <06T4892>. When this five-component tandem reaction involves para-substituted benzaldehydes, the cis (193) and trans (194) diastereomers of thiazones are obtained. Alternatively, ortho-substituted benzaldehydes form only the trans (194) diastereomer along with an air-oxidized product 195. O

The conversion of pyridines to their tetrahydropyridine or pyridinone derivatives is frequently accomplished via a pyridinium salt intermediate. Bennasar et al. reported the use of a Grignard reaction to generate a pyridinium salt, followed by reduction with NaBH4 producing a substituted tetrahydropyridine in excellent yield <06JOC1746>. The Grignard reaction of a 4-methoxypyridinium salt, followed by acidic hydrolysis of the intermediate methyl enol ethers, to generate pyridinone derivatives has been reported in three separate instances <06OL2985; 06OBC1071; 06AG(I)932>. Bräckow and Wanner reported the conversion of 4-substituted pyridines to their corresponding 4,4-disubstituted piperidines by trapping 4-substituted N-silylpyridinium ions with dialkylmagnesium reagents, followed by NaCNBH3 reduction <06T2395>. Xu et al. reported a regio- and diastereoselective double dinucleophilic addition of bis(OTMS) ketene acetals to pyridine to generate lactones <06TL4541; 06TL4553>.

__________________________________________________________________________
6.2.1 INTRODUCTION The diazines pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, and their benzo derivatives cinnoline, phthalazine, quinazoline, quinoxaline, and phenazine once again played a central role in many investigations. Progress was made on the syntheses and reactions of these heterocycles, and their use as intermediates toward broader goals. Some studies relied on solid-phase, microwave irradiation, or metal-assisted synthetic approaches, while others focused attention more on the X-ray, computational, spectroscopic, and natural product and other biological aspects of these heterocycles. Reports with a common flavor have been grouped together whenever possible.
6.2.2 REVIEWS AND GENERAL STUDIES One review covered the functionalizations and synthetic applications of pyridazin-3(2H)ones <05JHC353>, while another on the reactions of pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)diones with nitrogen nucleophiles highlighted their ability to undergo nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen <05JHC375>. The synthesis and heterocyclizations of 3-alkynyl6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones and their lumazine analogs was reviewed <05JHC413>, as was the synthesis of functionalized compounds containing pyridazine rings <05JHC361>. In the medicinal arena, pyrazolo[4,3-e]1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines as A3 adenosine receptors ligands were covered in a review <05MI1319>, as were biologically active pyridazinoquinoxalines <05JHC387>. Finally, the history of the discovery of the diarylpyrimidine anti-HIV drug Rilpivirine {R278474, 4-[[4-[[4-[(1E)-2cyanoethenyl]-2,6-dimethylphenyl]amino]-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]benzonitrile} was covered <05JMC1901>. Homoheteraryl coupling mediated by Pd(OAc)2 was used to form the aryl-aryl bonds in new diazines <05JHC1423>. The pyrazine alkaloids botryllazine A and B from Botryllus leachi and related compounds (1a-c) were prepared by a regioselective metalation/crosscoupling approach starting from chloropyrazine <05JOC2616>. The pyridine ring of the

pyridin-2-yldiazines 2-4 was used as an ortho-directing group for metalation <05T9637>. The regioselectivity observed was similar to that found for 2H incorporation (percentages shown next to ring positions) after generating the anions with 3-4 eq. LTMP in THF at -78 ˚C for 15 min. The 35Cl NQR and 1H NMR relaxation times in a 1:2 hydrogen-bonded (chloranilic acid)-(1,3-diazine) complex 5 were measured, giving an indication of partial Htransfer to the diazines <05BCJ1241>. Aryl substituted diazines 6 and 7 were obtained by Stille cross-coupling of Bu3Sn-substituted precursors, themselves prepared via nucleophilic substitution of halodiazines with Bu3SnLi <05T2897>. The metalation/functionalization of 2bromopyrazine, 2,4-dibromopyrimidine, and 3-bromo-6-phenylpyridazine was reported, together with an improved preparation of these halodiazine starting materials <05JHC509>. The ring metalation of cinnoline, quinazoline, and quinazolinone sulfoxides was found to be effective, but curiously that of a quinoxaline sulfoxide was not <05T8924>. R1

6.2.3 PYRIDAZINES AND BENZO DERIVATIVES X-ray crystallography continued to expand our knowledge of the solid state structures of pyridazines. The crystal structures of 6a-methyl-7-phenylsulfonyl-6-phenylsulfonylmethyl7,7a-dihydro-6aH-cyclopropa[d][1,2,3]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine <05AX(E)o2142>, 3,6-bis(4-methoxybenzyloxy)pyridazine <05AX(E)o2486>, and ethyl 3-methyl-6-oxo-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,6-dihydro-1-pyridazineacetate <05AX(E)o1561> were determined. In the organometallics field, neutral Cu4N12 and Ag4N12 metallacycles with a para-cyclophane framework were prepared by treating Cu(I) and Ag(I) pyrazolates with pyridazine, and three of these were solved crystallographically <05CC1619>. Finally, [pyridazin-3(2H)-one-6-yl]ferrocenes 8 were prepared and characterized by a wide variety of methods, including IR, 1D and 2D NMR, and X-ray <05JOM802>. O Fe

6.2.3.1 Syntheses Condensation approaches to the synthesis of pyridazines were once again popular. A microwave-assisted cyclocondensation reaction involving -diketones and hydrazine in the presence of DDQ produced 3,4,6-trisubstituted pyridazines <05SL2743>. New tricyclic pyrido[3',2':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3-c]pyridazin-3(2H,5H)-ones were prepared from 2,3-dihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(4H)-ones via condensation with glyoxylic acid followed by hydrazines. Their binding affinity at the benzodiazepine receptor was studied <05AP126>. Hydrazonoyl halides were used to access many heterocycles, including pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazines <05JHC527, 05SC249>, pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines were among the many heterocycles accessed using -(cyanomethyl)benzylidene-malononitrile as a starting material <05SC2251>, and methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate was used in a two-step synthesis of 4trifluoromethyl-(2H)-pyridazin-3-ones <05SL1907>. Pyridazino[3,4-a]carbazoles 9 were obtained by the reaction of substituted 2-benzylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazol-1-ones and thiocarbohydrazide or thiosemicarbazide <05CCC223>. R

A new tetraazaheterocyclic system was accessed when substituted pyridazino[4,5-b][1,8]naphthyridin-6(7H)-ones like 10 were prepared from 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylates <05H(65)329>. A regioselective synthesis of pyridazines 11 was developed from the cycloaddition of phosphorylated 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes with olefins. Cycloadduct formation occurs via an endo transition state with styrene, cyclopentadiene, and dihydrofuran, but via an exo one with norbornadiene <05EJO1142>. The regioselective cycloaddition of tetrazines and alkynylboronic esters gave highly substituted pyridazine boronic esters 12 <05AG(I)3889>. Pyridazine derivatives 13a-c were formed via Diels-Alder reaction of di(benzoyl)acetylene and 1,1,2,2-tetra(cyano)ethylene <05CJC57>, and pyridazino[4',3':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]-1,2,3-triazines were prepared along a heterocyclization route <05PS591>.

<05JOC6503>, and new pyridazino-psoralens 15 were prepared via a furan ring expansion reaction <05T4805>. The reaction of 3-acetylcoumarins with alloxan followed by NH2NH2 easily produced 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-6H,8H-pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7-diones <05JHC1223>. Furano- and pyrano[2,3-c]pyridazines 17 and 18a,b as well as substituted quinolines were conveniently prepared from pyridazinone 16 and vinyl- and allyltriphenylphosphonium salts <05HAC56>. Me Me O

6.2.3.3 Applications Pyridazines continued to play a central role in the construction of new biologically active compounds. 2,7-Dihydro-3H-pyridazino[5,4,3-kl]acridin-3-ones were synthesized as cytotoxic agents <05BMC1969> and 6-(5-chloro-3-methylbenzofuran-2-sulfonyl)-2H-

pyridazin-3-one and related compounds were prepared as aldose reductase inhibitors <05JMC6326>. Pyrazolo[1',5':1,6]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(3H)-ones were examined as PDE5 inhibitors <05BMCL2381>, pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazines as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK2) inhibitors <05JMC6843>, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazines as antibacterials and antifungals <05EJM401>, and polyfunctionally substituted pyridazines and their fused derivatives <05HEC89> and certain pyrrolopyridazine cycloadducts <05H(65)1871> were all prepared as antimicrobials. Some pyridazines were developed as inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase <05BMCL2409>, others as acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors <05JHC395>, and still others as GABA-α receptor ligands <05JMC6004, 05JMC7089>. Finally, certain 3(2H)pyridazinones were prepared as fungicides and herbicides <05JHC427>.
6.2.4 PYRIMIDINES AND BENZO DERIVATIVES We have learned more about the physicochemical properties of pyrimidines through some detailed investigations. For example, the electronic structures of 15 substituted pyrimidines like 21a-d were studied by computational methods <05EJO522>, and mono- and multinuclear Mn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) complexes of bisazo-dianils containing a pyrimidine moiety were synthesized and examined by a variety of spectroscopic methods (IR, electronic absorption, ESR) <05JCC683>. The intramolecular stacked conformation of pyrazolo[3,4-d]1 pyrimidines tethered by a trimethylene linker was documented in solution by H NMR and in the solid state by X-ray <05JMS179>, and complexes between the tautomers of the RNA pyrimidine bases and L-leucine were characterized by ab initio computational methods <05TC31>. Tautomerism in N-methyl regioisomers of uracil, 5-fluorouracil, and thymine was also examined this way <05TC201>. 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-2,4-diphenyl4,7a,12b-triazadibenzo[e,g]azulene-1,3,8-triones 22 were prepared as members of a pyrimidine-annulated pyrrolobenzodiazepine ring system related to Aspergillus alkaloids <05EJO1781>, and their prototropic tautomerism was studied by 1H NMR <05H(65)625>. The 4,9-methanoundecafulvene-related [5-(4,9-methanocycloundeca-2',4',6',8',10'-pentaenylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1,3,5H)-triones] 23 were prepared, and their physical properties were examined by UV-Vis, cyclic voltammetry, and NMR. The rotational barrier about the exocyclic C=C was determined to be 12.55 kcal•mol-1, by a VT-NMR study <05T7384>. In a similar fashion, a set of 5-[bis(1-heteroazulen-3-yl)methylidene]pyrimidine-2,4,6(1,3,5H)triones 24 was prepared by reaction of bis(1-heteroazulen-3-yl)methyl cations with barbituric acid followed by chloranil-mediated oxidation, and these too were extensively characterized by NMR, UV-Vis, cyclic voltammetry, MO computations, and X-ray crystallography <05T8616>.

6.2.4.1 Syntheses Cyclization routes to pyrimidines continued to be a rather popular approach for preparing these heterocycles. 3,6-Dihydro-7H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-ones like 37 were prepared via cyclization of guanidine intermediates <05CL1022>, and 3-substituted 4-oxo3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrido[4',3',4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid esters were prepared along a heterocyclization route <05PS95>. A new route to pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines like 39 relied upon an intramolecular cyclization of 4-amino-5-(tert-butyliminomethyl)-2(methylthio)-6-(phenylethynyl)pyrimidine 38 <05CHE268>, and a regioselective, radical cyclization-based synthesis of pyrimidine-annulated spiro-heterocyclic compounds was reported <05SC1961>. Using a photo-induced oxidative cyclization reaction, areno[b]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyran-2,4(1,3H)-dionylium perchlorates and tetrafluoroborates 41 were prepared from alkylidenated barbituric acids 40, and were characterized by NMR, UV-Vis, and X-ray <05T4919>.

A three-component condensation route to 5-aryl-5,8-dihydroazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7carboxylic acids was developed, and the solvent effect on regioisomer production was studied <05S2597>. A condensation approach to pyrrolylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines and thieno[2,3-d][4,5-d]dipyrimidines was described <05PS633>, as was the preparation of pyrimidines by condensation of N-substituted lactams and Viehe's salt (dichloromethylenedimethylammonium chloride) <05TL1177>. Carbonylative alkynylation followed by cyclocondensation constituted a new four-component pyrimidine synthesis of 42 (variolin B) and 43 (variolin D), tricyclics related to the meridianins 44 <05AG(I)6951>, and condensation of

The use of microwave acceleration in pyrimidine syntheses continued to grow. For example, a microwave assisted synthesis of pyrimidines from ketones and formamide in the presence of HMDS was reported <05TL7889>, as was one which generated pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines from enaminones and 5-amino-1H-pyrazoles <05JHC925>. A microwaveassisted Michael addition of pyrimidines to α,β-unsaturated esters generated carbocyclic nucleoside analogs <05S419>, and a microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-6,7disubstituted-5-methyl-5,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one from 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4-one, aldehydes, and acyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was found to proceed in very good yields in the absence of a catalyst <05ARK76>. Microwaves accelerated the synthesis of imidazo- and pyrimidopyrido[4',3':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines from a thienopyridinecarboxylate and pyridothienopyrimidine <05ZN(B)221>, and an improvement in the microwave-assisted synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones was noted when a paste-like medium was employed <05S2833>. The use of microwave acceleration in combination with solid-phase approaches was used as well. Tetrahydropyrimidinones were obtained via microwave assisted, solid-phase intramolecular cyclization <05TL5747>, and a microwave-assisted solid support synthesis of dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines was also described <05TL1345>. Resin-bound amidines were condensed with -dicarbonyl compounds to give 2-alkyl/aryl-pyrimidines and related 3H-pyrimidin-4-ones <05JCO517>. Solid-phase approaches to pyrimidines were used both to generate libraries of compounds and simply for convenience. A combinatorial library of 3,5,6-trisubstituted pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines (9-deazapurines) was generated by a solid-phase synthetic approach <05JCO977>, and the solid phase preparation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-ones was described <05TL8749>. Solid-phase approaches to trisubstituted 1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin4-ones <05JCO96>, 3-substituted pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates <05JCO589>, and 3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-ones, 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2ones, and 3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-pyrimido[1,2-a][1,3]diazepin-2-ones were developed <05TL5289>. A solid-phase synthesis of N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino acid amides relied upon nucleophilic aromatic substitution using 2-fluoropyrimidine <05ARK172>, and a traceless solid-phase sulfone linker approach was used to prepare 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones <05JCO721>. Solid-phase approaches were not solely used to generate libraries, however. A large number of 7-trifluoromethyl-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were prepared via parallel solution-phase synthesis <05JCO236>.

Efficiency in pyrimidine synthesis was sometimes achieved by the use of metal-catalyzed reactions. 4-Substituted and bicyclic pyrimidines were prepared via a Pd-catalyzed reaction of -Me and -methylene ketones with formamide. Among the products obtained, 5,6dihydrobenzo[h]quinazoline and 4-naphth-2-ylpyrimidine were characterized by X-ray methods <05H(65)2593>. 6-[(Phosphonomethoxy)alkynyl- and alkyl]pyrimidines 45 and 46 were prepared via Sonogashira coupling <05CCC247>, and the Pd-C/CuI/PPh3-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of 3-iodopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with propargylic and homopropargylic reagents followed by catalytic hydrogenation gave -functionalized 3-(3dimethylaminopropyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines <05S131>.

Often, simply conducting several steps in a one-pot fashion or using more than two components in a reaction was found to generate pyrimidines efficiently. A one-pot preparation of pyrimidines relied on the condensation of α,β-unsaturated imines and amidines or guanidines <05TL1663>, and another of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines from ketones, [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene, and 2-aminopyrimidine was found to be accelerated by the use of an ionic liquid as solvent <05SC1741>. A one-pot synthesis of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines from N,S-acetals, formaldehyde, and diamines was reported <05JHC975>, as was a one-pot, three-component, KF/alumina-catalyzed synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines <05SC1921>. A one-step synthesis of 2-amino-7-chlorothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines 48 from 4,6-dichloro-5-aminopyrimidine (47) gave a ready entry to 2,7diaminothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines 49 <05JOC10194>, and -dicarbonyl compounds were found to add regioselectively to 2-ethoxymethyleneaminonitriles in a one-pot, [5+1]-annulation synthesis of quinazolines and fused pyrimidines <05S1083>. A one-pot synthesis of 3,4dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones developed using Bi(III) nitrate as catalyst represents an improvement over the classical Biginelli reaction conditions <05ARK74>. A three-component, base-mediated reaction of 2-alkyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-ones 50 with p-cyanophenol and 2-mercaptopyrimidine (51) gave 2,4,5-trisubstituted-pyridazin-3(2H)-ones like 52a-d, together with 5-cyano-5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2,7-dialkyl-5H-dipyridazino[4,5-b:4,5-e]4H-thiopyran-1,6-diones <05T5389>. Finally, tri- and tetrasubstituted pyrimidines like 53 were prepared by a four-component coupling reaction involving a silane, two aryl nitriles, and an acetal <05OL4705>. Cl

Microwaveassisted reactions enhanced the synthesis of substituted 2(1H)-pyrazinones via "click chemistry" <05JCO490>, and 6,8-diarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines were prepared from 1-(2aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-aryloylimidazoles using NH4OAc/AcOH under microwave conditions <05JHC319>. A regioselective one-pot synthesis of 9-alkyl-6-chloropyrido[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines 98 from 2,3-dichloropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine (97) was reported <05JOC2878>, and a solid-phase synthesis of substituted 2(1H)-pyrazinones was developed for future generation of libraries of these heterocycles <05JCO90>. Furoxano[3,4-b]pyrazines were prepared by treating 2-alkoxy-3,5-dinitro-6-chloropyrazines with NaN3 <05JHC691>.

6.2.5.2 Reactions Palladium-catalyzed reactions on pyrazines were the subject of quite a few investigations. 3,5-Dichloropyrazinones 105 were shown to undergo regioselective Suzuki and Heck reactions to give 3-substituted products, while the less reactive 5-position could be functionalized only after transhalogenation to the corresponding 5-bromo or -iodo derivatives <05T3953>. The Suzuki, Sonogashira, Heck, and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions were explored using 7-bromo-2,3-diphenylpyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine as the key starting material <05S1345>. Functionalized, symmetric bi-2(1H)-pyrazinones were obtained by homocoupling in a Suzuki-type reaction involving an in situ generated boronic acid <05SL777>, while highly substituted bipyrazines like 107 were obtained by a Suzuki cross-coupling approach from 2amino-5-bromopyridazine (106) <05JOC388>. The Pd-catalyzed heteroannulation of N-(3chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanesulfonamide with alkynes was used to prepare 6,7-disubstituted5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines <05TL1845>. OMe

Olefinic pyrazines like 108 were shown to react with C6H6 in the superacid TfOH to give anti-Markovnikov addition products like 109 <05OL2505>. The orientation observed is presumed to be due to the multiply charged heterocycle adjacent to the olefin. Pyrazine oquinodimethanes underwent Diels-Alder condensation with meso-tetraarylporphyrins to give new π-extended porphyrins <05TL2189>. A one-pot formation of polycyclic - and lactones like 111 was developed using the reaction of pyridine and pyrazine (110) with bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals. Many of them were characterized by X-ray <05EJO3724>.

6.2.5.3 Applications The non-medicinal applications reported for pyrazine-based compounds were extremely diverse. By studying substituent effects, the rate-determining step for chemiluminescence in 6-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-ones was indicated to be a single electron transfer from the anion to triplet O2 <05TL7701>. Reaction of the diamide ligands N,N'-bis(2pyridylmethyl)pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxamide and N,N'-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]pyrazine-2,5dicarboxamide 112 with Cu(BF4)2•4H2O gave dinuclear Cu(II) complexes which were characterized by EPR <05EJI1530>. The Cu(II) complex [Cu2(pyrazine-2,5dicarboxylato)(1,10-phenanthroline)4](NO3)2•10H2O 113 was examined by X-ray crystallography, and the magnetic exchange through the pyrazine bridge was studied <05EJI2586>. The colorimetric sensor properties of solvatochromic substituted 2phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-ones 114a-e were examined by UV/Vis and SM1COSMO computations <05T10073>. Pyrazine itself was found to bind to the cavities formed in Mn(II), Fe(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes bridged with squarate molecules, forming a supramolecular network. The X-ray crystal structure of a similar Zn(II) complex was determined <05BCJ445>. Two axially chiral quinazoline-equipped phosphinamine ligands, 2-(2-pyridyl)quinazolinap 115a and 2-(2-pyrazinyl)quinazolinap 115b, were prepared, resolved, and their diastereomeric palladacycles were examined crystallographically <05T9808>. Other related quinazolines like 116a-f were also prepared. A total of 27 volatile pyrazines such as 117-120 were isolated and characterized from the myxobacterium Chondromyces crocatus and marine bacteria <05EJO4141>. N O HN O N

In medicinal applications, [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazines have been examined as adenosine A2α receptor antagonists <05H(65)2321, 05BMCL4809>, pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines were prepared from 1-phenyl-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3carboxylic acid azide as antibacterials and antifungals <05M217>, and pyrazinones were examined as inhibitors of the TF/VIIa complex <05BMCL3006> and as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) <05JMC1910>. New thrombin inhibitors were built around a pyrazinone core <05EJM782>, pyrazinone monoamides were prepared as ascaspase-3 inhibitors <05BMCL1173>, and 5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors <05JMC141>. A QSAR study on 1,2,3,4tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-4-spiro-3'-pyrrolidine-1,2',3,5'-tetrone as aldose reductase inhibitors was conducted <05BMC1445>, the synthesis <05JMC1886> and SAR <05JMC4892> of pyrazine-pyridine biheteroaryls as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 inhibitors were reported, and the effect of L-pyrazinylalanine as a phenylalanine replacement in a somatostatin was explored <05JMC4025>. Finally, the susceptibility <05AAC804> and resistance <05AAC444, 05AAC2210> of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to pyrazinamide was further investigated.

Chapter 6.2 (2006)
Six-membered ring systems: diazines and benzo derivatives (2006)
Keith Mills Ware, Hertfordshire UK
[email protected] ___________________________________________________________________________
6.2.1 INTRODUCTION The chemistry of diazines remains an area of intense interest, both academic and industrial, with applications in many areas, from biomedical to materials science and electronics. They are versatile, having very varied reactivity, giving many opportunities for manipulation of substituents. Nucleophilic substitutions, electrophilic substitution in oxy and amino derivatives, organometallic and transition metal-catalysed coupling reactions are all subjects of substantial research effort. There are obvious similarities in reactivity of the three diazine systems but also many interesting and practically important, often subtle, differences. All three systems are amenable to sequential substitutions, giving opportunities for use as scaffolds and also, particularly for pyrimidines, rapid muticomponent, often “one pot”, ring constructions are possible. Both these features give great potential for combinatorial chemistry and library construction. The main emphasis of this review will be on the synthetic and reactivity aspects of the three diazine systems and their benzo-derivatives, although some other interesting and significant applications will also be covered. Generally one or two representative examples of reactions or syntheses will be given and it is understood that further examples will usually be found in the original paper. However, this is flexible and generic reactions or products may be shown if this is considered more appropriate. 6.2.2
GENERAL STUDIES
The Negishi coupling reactions of a number of amino-chlorodiazines have been reported. The aminopyrazine 1 was used as the substrate for optimisation but examples involving the other diazines were also given. Dialkylzincs and alkylzinc halides reacted successfully and a particularly useful in situ formation of primary alkylzinc halides by exchange of an alkyl halide with diethylzinc could be carried out. Fortuitously, this alkylzinc exchange was catalysed by the nickel catalyst used for the following coupling <06TL341>.

A study of the Į-arylation of diazine mono N-oxides, under Heck-like conditions, also gave emphasis to pyrazines but a number of examples using pyrimidines and pyridazines were also described (Scheme 1). A wide range of aryl chlorides, bromides and iodides was used and the products were easily deoxygenated by catalytic reduction. An interesting feature was the use of a copper additive, which was only required for the pyrimidine reactions, to give a very substantial improvement in yield <06AG(I)7781>.

Scheme 1 A metal-iodine exchange has been carried out on all three diazine systems under very mild conditions using lithium tri-n-butyl magnesate, although only one substrate from each system was used: 3-iodo-6-phenylpyridazine, 4-iodo-2-methylthiopyrimidine and 2-iodopyrazine. The pyridazine example was most problematic, possibly due to solubility problems. Aldehydes, benzophenone and diphenyl disulfide were used as the electrophiles <06SL1586>. N N

Six-membered ring systems: diazines and benzo derivatives (2006)
The copper-catalysed N-arylation of diazinones by aryl halides, but mainly using 2-fluoro-4iodoaniline, was described as part of a paper devoted primarily to pyridones. Pyrazin-2-one, pyrimidin-4-one and pyridazin-3-one all reacted successfully but pyrimidin-2-one failed to give any product <06TL7677>. N

6.2.3.1 Synthesis A number of pyridazines have been prepared by standard condensations of enediones with hydrazine but a general synthesis of the intermediate enediones is notable. This involved iodine-copper exchange of an iodoenone 3, followed by reaction of the resulting cuprate with acid chlorides. However, only a few of these enediones were actually converted into pyridazines <06OL1941>. O O R Ph

Useful variations on another standard synthesis of pyridiazines by Inverse-ElectronDemand Diels–Alder reactions included the regioselective reactions of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine sulfoxides with enols, enamines and alkynes (Scheme 2). These sulfoxides have greater reactivity than the previously used sulfides but, more importantly, showed a reversed (complementary) regioselectivity. The reactions of the sulfoxide 5 appeared to be totally regioselective apart from one case (with 2,3-dihydrofuran). The Cbz amine 6 also reacted with high regioselectivity in most cases but there were several exceptions <06JOC185>. Ph N Me

Six-membered ring systems: diazines and benzo derivatives (2006)
In a study of the use of microwave irradiation for the preparation of pyridazines by the cycloaddition of alkynes to 3,6-bis-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine 8, it was found incidentally that acetone reacted, via its enol, with this tetrazine, also giving a pyridazine. Aldehydes reacted similarly but with variable yields and other ketones gave mixtures of products derived from both possible enols. In the one example (acetone) where it was tried, conventional heating gave an only marginally lower yield than microwave heating <06JOC4903> (The room temperature, base-catalysed, addition of aldehydes to tetrazines has previously been reported but this may be mechanistically different <79JOC629>). 2-py

Conversion of other heterocyclic systems into pyridazines has also been used, for example the reaction of 3-aminopyrone 9 with hydrazine, followed by oxidative aromatisation <06T9718> and the more unusual utilisation of a 1,2,4-triazole 10 as the source of the N-N unit <06T8966>. In this latter transformation, the intermediate quaternary salt 11 was isolable. An even more unusual example was the reaction of the diazetidine 12 with enolates <06S2885>. NH2 O

6.2.3.2 Reactions A review of the palladium-catalysed reactions of halo-pyridazines has been published <06SL3185>. The regioselective O-sulfonylation of 4-bromopyridazine-3,6-dione 16, using a hindered sulfonyl chloride, allowed efficient sequential boronic acid couplings. 2,4,6-Triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride was the only sulfonyl chloride to give essentially complete regioselectivity, whereas the corresponding 4-phenyl pyridazinedione gave a highly selective reaction even with tosyl chloride. <06TL6125>.

New variations in conditions include the use of antimony trichloride as a catalyst for the synthesis of monastrol analogues, with modifications in the aryl ring and replacement of thio by oxo <06BOC173>. The use of ionic liquids <06SC1503> and microwave enhancement <06BMCL4893> have also been reported. Nanosynthesis (single bead reaction) has been carried out <06AG(I)3102> and highly enantioselective reactions have been achieved using the catalyst 21 <06JACS14802>. 5-Nitro-dihydropyrimidines such as 22 have been prepared using Į-nitroacetophenone in place of the usual keto ester and shown to have potential as antiarrythmic agents <06BMCL1418>.

A number of alternative preparations of Biginelli-type compounds and similar dihydropyrimidines have been described.

Another multicomponent synthesis giving N-3-substituted compounds 28 consisted of the sequential reaction of metallated phosphonoacetates, in one pot, with a nitrile then an aldehyde and finally an isocyanate. This was an extensive study of the scope and limitations of the different substituents on all the components. The most important feature was that, for good yields, the isocyanate should bear an electron-withdrawing group – tosyl was the most successful. However, an exchange reaction could be carried out by reaction of the tosyl products with aryl isocyanates under microwave irradiation, giving the N-3-aryl derivatives 29 <06CEJ7178>.

There has been significant emphasis on the use of pyrimidine thio ethers for further selective functionalisation by nucleophilic displacements of either the alkylthio or alkylsulfone and general syntheses of pyrimidines often include methylthio as one of the representative substituents. The reaction of enolisable ketones with nitriles under the influence of triflic anhydride is a useful general method for the synthesis of 2,4-“symmetrically” substituted pyrimidines. Reaction of 1-tetralone with aryl cyanides or methyl thiocyanate, followed by aromatisation with DDQ gave good yields of benzoquinazolines. The further transformation of the methylthio product 31, via oxidation and selective sequential nucleophilic substitution of the resulting sulfones, illustrates the utility of this substituent. 2-Tetralone reacted similarly but substantial amounts of by-products were formed <06T2799>.

The synthesis of a pyrimidine 40 by reaction of an amidine with an isoxazole is an interesting example of interconversion of heterocycles <06TL3209>. In another heterocycle interconversion, the reaction of 3-amino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole with hexafluoropentane dione gave a mixture of the hydroxaminopyrimidine 41 and aminopyrimidine N-oxide 42. This was in contrast to previous work where pentanedione gave a high yield of only the corresponding amino N-oxide. The mechanism of the reaction was discussed, based on the isolated by-products <06T1158>.

An improved synthesis of 11C-2 thymine 49, for use in PET scans, was made possible by an efficient and rapid synthesis of 11C-phosgene, previously reported <02NMB345> by the same authors. 11C is a particularly interesting challenge due to its very short half life (20 minutes) and the whole sequence and purification from the end of the bombardment took 16 minutes. The scale was necessarily small (0.2 mg) <06TL5321>.

Selective halogen exchange at C-5 of 5,6-dibromo-2,4dimethoxypyrimidine 59 was carried out using isopropylmagnesium chloride.

Nucleophilic substitution of leaving groups is probably the most important area in pyrimidine reactivity and, in particular, the differential reactivity of C-2 and C-4 is the most investigated topic. The displacement of 2- and 4-sulfide and sulfone groups is referred to in the synthesis section. The selective hydrolysis of 4-amino-2-chloropyrimidines under acidic conditions has been studied in great detail by a process research group <06OPRD921>. The selective displacement of the 4-chlorine in 2,4-dichloro compounds can be capricious but a much better result was obtained starting with 4-chloro-2-methylthiopyrimidine 60. A displacement of chlorine was followed by oxidation of the methylthio to sulfone and displacement of sulfone <06BMCL5633>

There is always interest in the photochemistry of the pyrimidine nucleic acid bases and related simple pyrimidinones, due to its importance in genetic mutation. In addition to damaging DNA, photo-induced reactions may also repair the damage, as in the reduction, by FADH, of the thymine glycol 64 back to thymine <06JACS10934>.

A computational study was concerned with the effect of solvation on the radical ion involved in CDP photolyase enzyme-catalysed reversion of thymine and uracil cyclobutane dimers stimulated by visible light <06T6490>. Photo-induced conversions are also important synthetically. The photocycloaddition of 5substituted uracils 69 with ethylene has been used for the synthesis of 2aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acids. The addition reaction worked well with carbon and fluorine substituents and also with a Cbz-protected amino. However, uracils with other 5nitrogen substituents (NH2, NHBn and NO2) failed, only starting material being recovered.

The reaction of N-methyl nitropyrimidinone 76 with aminocrotonates has been used for the synthesis of 4-aminonicotinates. The only example using a dialkylamino crotonate gave a similar yield, but the equivalent reactions using aminoenones and 4-substituted aminocrotonates gave only very modest yields <06SL1437>.

A review discussed the use of 3,5-dichloropyrazin-2-one as a versatile scaffold for synthesis <06S2799>. A feature article was concerned with the synthesis of dragmacidins <06CC3769>. 6.2.5.1 Synthesis A variation on the usual synthesis of pyrazines, reaction of 1,2-diones with diamines, was the use of the diazabutadiene 81 in place of the dione <06JOC5897>. In another paper, the same diaza compound 81 reacted with sarcosine methyl ester, in a complex set of reactions, to produce quite good yields of 5-oxy-pyrazine-2-carboxamides 82. The N-methyl was lost and direct aromatisation occurred, presumably, due to cleavage of the N–N bond <06SL2403>. R1 R2O2C

An interesting iridium-catalysed 5-CH boronation of 2,3-dimethylpyrazine was reported incidentally in a paper mainly devoted to the reaction of pyridines. The product 89 was used in a Suzuki coupling <06AG(I)489>. Selective mono coupling of 2,6-dichloropyrazine with boronic acids, followed by amine displacement of the second chlorine has been used to prepare potential anti-cancer compounds <06JMC407>.

The selective magnesiation of chloro-iodo purines which represents an efficient approach to new purine derivatives has been published. Both 6-chloro-2-iodo-purine 71 and 2-chloro-6iodo-purine 72 undergo a selective I/Mg exchange reaction with i-PrMgCl at -80 ºC, thus, 6chloro-2-(phenylhydroxymethyl)-purine 73 and 2-chloro-6-(phenylhydroxymethyl)-purine 74 were synthesized. However, the reaction course at 0 ºC was different. Magnesiation of 6chloro-2-iodo-purine 71 proceeded with the migration of magnesium to the 8 position of the purine nucleus. In the case of 2-chloro-6-iodo-purine 72, substitution of iodine by an alkyl group from the Grignard reagent together with a Cl/Mg exchange reaction took place. Finally, the reaction with aldehydes afforded the corresponding alcohols 6-chloro-8(phenylhydroxymethyl)-purine 75 and 6-alkyl-2-(phenylhydroxymethyl)-purine 76 <06OL1291>. Cl N R1

Chapter 6.4 Six-membered ring systems: with O and/or S atoms
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, the regular chapter on ‘Six-membered ring systems: with O and/or S atoms’ does not appear in this volume. We apologise for this omission. We anticipate that PHC 20 will include a double chapter on this area, covering the literature of 2006 and 2007.

INTRODUCTION
The chemistry and biological activities of seven-membered heterocyclic systems continued to command significant attention in 2006. In this chapter both fused and non-fused heterocycles are addressed with an emphasis on N, O, and S as the heteroatoms in the seven-membered ring components. Reviews which include some treatment of these heterocyclic derivatives have been published covering ring-closing metathesis of heteroatom substituted dienes <06H(70)705>, and a review of the pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-based Stemona alkaloids <06MI99>. A detailed review on synthetic approaches to oxepines has also been published <06T9301>.

SEVEN-MEMBERED SYSTEMS CONTAINING ONE HETEROATOM
Azepines and derivatives
Detailed computational studies have been reported on 5-azatropolone and 1H-azepine-4,5dione and related isoelectronic homologues and isomers <06JPC(A)1600>. A novel electrophilic reaction of the 2-methoxyazepinium ion 2, formed in situ from 1 on treatment with TiCl4,was observed in the presence of benzene to give 3, 4 and 5. The kinetics of the isomerisation (k1, k2, k3) of the 4H-azepine 3 to 8 via 6 and 7 were also reported <06EJO3803>.

Satake et al. reported further detailed studies on the chemistry of 2H-azepines highlighting a [1,5] sigmatropic hydrogen shift and also an unusual [1,5] sigmatropic propylthio shift on heating 9 to afford 10 and 11 respectively; kinetic measurements were consistent with a concerted process for the propylthio shift <06OL5469>.

Access to the 4,4´-disubstituted azepine derivatives 14 was achieved in good yield by ring closing metathesis on the dienes 12 using the Grubbs II catalyst 18; the diene precursors 12 could be made in racemic or optically enriched form from α,α´-disubstituted lactone precursors <06S1437>. Removal of the N-protecting group and reduction of the double bond in 13 by hydrogenation then resulted in the azepanes 14. (i) R2 R1

Seven-membered rings
The power of ring closing metathesis for seven-membered ring synthesis continued to be realised as exemplified by the preparation of the tetrahydroazepines 16 (X = CH2) or 2azepinones 16 (X = CO) from the appropriately substituted precursors 15. Yields were generally good to high (particularly with Grubbs II ruthenium catalyst 18). However, as noted in other 1 2 reactions of this type, amine functionality (15a, R = Bn, R = H, X = CH2) compromised the metathesis process, and a very low yield of 16 was obtained with Grubbs I catalyst 17 and no product at all with the second generation Grubbs catalyst (Table 1); starting material 15 was reisolated in both cases <06T1777>.

Inclusion of the amide in oxazolidinone functionality can be used to overcome diene statial disposition issues, for example in the conversion of 19 into 20; yields of 20 were generally high (Table 2). Ring opening of the oxazolidine moiety with or without loss of the mandelic acid moiety then afforded the corresponding azepin-2-ones <06TL3625>. TBSO O Ph

Azepanes and azepanones continue to attract attention synthetically because of their incorporation in compounds of biological significance. A new diastereoselective and enantioselective lithiation – addition methodology has been described to provide access to the azepine precursors 25 (Ar1 = p-BrPh, Ar = p-MeOPh)); these were then converted into 27 via 26, and subsequently to the further substituted azepan-2-ones 30 via 28 and 29 <06JA2178>.

Diazepines and fused derivatives
Although highly reactive, 2H-azirines are of considerable synthetic interest and serve as a source of the 3-fluoro-4H-1,3-diazepines 86. Reaction of 80 with difluorocarbene in the presence of furfural gave 86, rather than the expected furfural-derived products 83. Rearrangement of the initial 1,3-dipolar intermediate 81 to 84 and then cycloaddition of 84 with 80 are proposed as key steps in the reaction; the intermediate cycloadduct 85 gave 86 on base-induced elimination of HF. Nucleophilic displacement of the fluoro group in 86 provided access to further substituted 1,3-diazepines <06TL639>. CHO CF2 N

In an extension of previous work on conjugated enamine carbonyl derivatives, reaction of the pyrazolone 91 with N,N'-disubstituted hydrazines on heating in an alcohol solvent afforded the hexahydropyrazolo[4,3-d][1,2]diazepine-8-carboxylates 92 in good yields. While the exact mechanism for the formation of 92 is not known, one possibility, namely a Michael-type addition of the alcohol to a pre-formed pyrazolo-diazepine, was excluded <06T8126>. Ph N N

The first step was a Ugi four-component reaction followed in the second step by a palladiummediated intramolecular N-arylation reaction.

Microwave-promoted reactions continue to extend their reach in heterocyclic synthesis. Regioselective N4-aminoethylation of the 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 94 was observed under microwave conditions in DMF/K2CO3 to afford, for example, 96a and 96b in 64% and 67% yield respectively (Table 4). In contrast, the thermal reaction at 80 °C in DMF with K2CO3 as base gave the N1-aminoethylation products (95a, 65%) and (95b, 76%). These results were

rationalised using computer-based calculations of the N1 versus N4 alkylation reaction profiles. Microwave irradiation is suggested to facilitate anion production due to a higher change in dipole moment along the deprotonation pathway with a small preference for the N4 anion D over A/B, although the latter is of lower energy, and fast alkylation then proceeds via E or C <06TL3357>.

Reagents and methods for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives from ophenylenediamine and carbonyl compounds have attracted an unusually high degree of interest in 2006. Illustrative of this, the condensation of two mol equivalents of acetone with ophenylenediamine 97 was reported <06TL3135> on simple grinding of the components in the presence of an organic acid catalyst at room temperature resulting in 98. The yields of 98 were

dependent upon the acid used, but with trimesic acid (5 mol%) a 97% yield of 98 was obtained after grinding for 10 minutes. Picric acid also gave a high yield of 98 but use of this latter acid should NOT be recommended in view of the potential hazards.

Dioxepines, dithiepines and fused derivatives
In the continuing search for new antimalarial agents, a number of spiroperoxy compounds incorporating a dihydro-2,3-benzodioxepine moiety were designed and synthesised. For example, the spiroperoxy derivative 108 was made from 102 via oxidation and the Wittig product 103. Deallylation of 103 then gave a mixture of 104, 105 and 106, and finally peroxidation gave 107 and subsequent cyclisation through an intramolecular Michael-type addition reaction afforded 108 <06T7699>.

The Pd-based methodology described by Ma et al. has scope for the synthesis of fused 1,3oxazepines <06T9002>. Considerable value would be added to this methodology if it could be adapted to the simpler 1,3-benzazepine system, perhaps via alternative methods for carbinolamine precursor generation. A modified four-component Ugi reaction was used to synthesise a variety of heterocyclic ring fused (ring A) 1,4-oxazepine derivatives 123. For example, starting from 120 O-alkylation gave 121 and then 122 after ester hydrolysis; reaction of 122 with amines and isonitriles on heating afforded 123 in low yields <06TL2659>. Other fused rings A included thiophene and thiazole rings.

An expeditious route to the cyclic sulfamide HIV-1 protease inhibitors of type 145 and 146 (tetrahydro-1,2,7-thiadiazepine 1,1-dioxide derivatives) from 141 and 142 hinges on palladium-catalysed amidation reactions.

Examples include the 1,2,4-trioxepanes 152, 153 and 154, with the seven-membered ring being made by acid catalysed condensation of the appropriate ketone with the hydroxy hydroperoxide 151. Unfortunately the 1,2,5-trioxepanes were not active as antimalarials in vitro (up to 1000 nM) probably due to their resistance to Fe(II)-mediated degradation <06BMCL6124>.

Reagents: (i) ketone, p-toluenesulfonic acid; (ii) m-CPBA (1.0 eq.), DCM, rt, 6 h; (iii) 2,6-lutidine (4.2 eq.), trifluoroacetic acid anhydride (3.8 eq.), acetonitrile, rt.
The chemistry of pentathiepins has been extended to the pyrrolo-fused derivative 155. Reaction of 155 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) and triphenylphosphine at room temperature gave the fused 1,4-dithiin derivative 156 in high yield <06OL4529>. It is probable that the triphenylphosphine removes three sulfur atoms from 155 to give a dipolar reactive intermediate for a cycloaddition with DMAD to afford 156.

SEVEN-MEMBERED SYSTEMS OF PHARMACOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Pharmacologically active compounds incorporating 7-membered heterocyclic components continue to flourish. Examples include the designed enhancement of pharmacokinetic properties of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione antagonists 157 of the Hdm2-p53 protein–protein interaction <06MCL3310>, the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones and their assessment as Hdm2 antagonists <06BMCL3115>, 1,4-benzodiazepines as inhibitors of respiratory syncytial virus <06JMC2311>, benzodiazepinone-based cysteine protease inhibitors of type 158 as potential antimalarial compounds <06JMC3064>, methyl substituted azepan-3ones as cathepsin K inhibitors <06JMC1597>, novel inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor

receptor tyrosine kinase based on pyrimido[4,5-b]-1,4-benzoxazepines (and the corresponding fused thiazepines and diazepines) <06BMCL5102>, and xantheno[9,1-cd] azepines as analogues of clavizepine <06JOC3963>. Reduced benzo[b]azepin-2-one and -2,5-diones have been assessed as selective dopamine D3-receptor antagonists <06BMCL658>, and 2H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3(5H)-ones have moderate herbicidal activity <06JHC1275>. Other compounds of interest include dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines for assessing aspects of the histamine H4 receptor site <06JMC4512>, benzodiazepine-based -turn mimetics with moderate affinity for the AT2 receptor and in one case high affinity for the AT1 receptor <06JMC6133>, T-cell selective cytotoxic 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones <06BMCL2423>, achiral 1,3,4-benzotriazepines as selective (over CCK1 receptors) CCK2 receptor antagonists <06JMC2253>, and 1,5benzodiazepines containing a benzophenone moiety as photoaffinity probes for labelling within the membrane-spanning domain of the cholecystokinin receptor <06JMC850>. Further examples include antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT) based on pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine prodrugs <06BMCL252>, novel, orally active vasopressin V2 receptor agonists based on 5,11-dihydropyrido[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepines <06BMCL954>, and 5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl uracil and purine derivatives as anticancer agents <06T11724>. Interest continues in the design and pharmacological evaluation of dual functional agents and in this context molecular docking and QSAR studies have been described on a number of 4,1benzoxazepinone derivatives as inhibitors of both wild type and mutant (K103N) HIV-1 reverse transcriptases <06MI281>. Pyrrolo-1,5-benzoxazepines, which are potent apoptosis inducers in a number of chemotherapy-resistant human cancer cell lines, have been shown to target tubulin and in one case (PBOX-6) was shown not to bind to the vinblastine or colchicine binding sites <06MI60>. A significant advance in selective 5-HT1A receptor agonists with neuroprotective effects has been detailed <06BMC1978>; these compounds are 1,4-benzoxazepine derivatives. A series of moderately potent thiazepines as inhibitors of interleukin-1 converting enzyme has been described <06BMCL4728>, while a new class of antileukemic agents based on pyrrolo[1,2b][1,2,5]benzothiazepines have been reported <06JMC5840>.

Using representative 1,3,5-triazepane-2,6-diones, an interesting protein data mining study based on high-throughput docking identified and verified secreted phospholipase A2 as the target for these diones. These diones can be viewed as conformationally restrained dipeptide mimetics <06JMC6768>, and in another significant paper they have been reported as having inhibitory activity on the liver stage of malaria <06CEJ8498>.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
The scope for further developments in the chemistry of seven-membered heterocyclic systems is considerable, particularly with respect to multi-heteroatom component systems. New synthetic methods are needed for these systems and ring-fused derivatives. The demand for such systems is likely to be largely driven by the search for structurally novel drug leads. 7.7

thiacalixarenes <06CR5291>; sugar-derived crown ethers <06COC643>; and synthetic routes to porphyrins possessing fused rings <06T10039>. As always, because of space limitations, only meso- and macrocycles possessing heteroatoms and/or subheterocyclic rings have been reviewed; in general, lactones, lactams, and cyclic imides have been excluded. In view of the delayed availability of some articles appearing in previous years, several have been incorporated, where appropriate. I apologize in advance that it is impossible to do justice, to this topic and the numerous researchers that have elegantly contributed to the field, in the allotted twenty pages.

CARBON–OXYGEN RINGS
The coupling of 1,3-difluoronitrobenzene with resorcinol promoted by CuI with K2CO3 in pyridine under high dilution conditions gave the hexameric product 1 in 25% yield along with the smaller [2+2] cyclophane <06EJOC1109>. Similarly, nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with 2-propylresorcinol in either Et3N/MeCN or CsF/DMF gave a syn/anti mixture of conformers of the cyclic tetramer and cyclic hexamer <06TL4041>. The 3,3',4,4'-tetranitrodibenzo-24/30-crown-8/10 ethers have been made and shown to form organogels with chloroalkanes at 3% w/v <06OL1371>. The treatment of 4hydroxybenzaldehyde with triethylene glycol in the presence of K2CO3 in refluxing MeCN gave the desired bis-aldehyde, which was transformed to the bis(ethynyl)ketone intermediate in 84% overall yield, then upon treatment with the known 3-methoxyphenylenaminone under high dilution conditions, macrocyclization to generate 2 was accomplished <05T5363>. The treatment of poly[diphenyl-co-methyl(bromopropyl)]silane with (4-hydroxyphenylazo)dibenzo-18-crown-6 under the traditional Williamson conditions generated the poly[diphenyl-co-methyl(propyloxyphenyl-azodibenzo-18-crown-6]silane, as a brown solid <06CC788>.

Various (a)chiral macrocyclic oligo-malonates were synthesized in a simple one-step process via condensation of malonyl dichloride with Į,Ȧ-diols <06EJOC2296>. Treatment of salicylaldehyde with base in EtOH, followed by the introduction of 1,4-dibromobutane gave (96%) (CH2CH2OC6H4CHO)2, which was subjected to an intramolecular McMurry coupling to generate (95%) the macrocyclic stilbene that when treated with Br2 followed by dehydrobromination gave (90%) the desired macrocyclic alkyne 4 <06JOC6124>. A novel triptycene-based bis(crown ether) was synthesized in 46% yield from a known tetrahydroxy-triptycene derivative with 1,2-bis[2-[2-(2-tosylethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy]benzene with Cs2CO3 in DMF at 100 °C; this rigid bis-host can accommodate dibenzylammonium salts to generate a bis[2]pseudorotaxane as well as stable clip-shaped complexes with paraquat derivatives and ammonium salts <06OL1069, 06CEJ4594, 06OL211, 06JOC4509, 06OL1859>. The triply crowned 1,3,5-tris(arylalkynyl)mesitylene was prepared by the treatment of triiodomesitylene with 4'-ethynylbenzo-18-crown ether using Sonogashira coupling conditions <06EJOC516>. The ethynyl derivative of a nickel octaethylporphyrin was coupled with a cone crown calixarene under either Sonogashira or Negishi conditions to give a diphenolic intermediate, which was alkylated to give the desired Pacman-like conformationally frozen cone bisporphyrin 5 in 55% yield <06JA3488>.

Refluxing ethyl 3,5-di(hydroxymethyl)-4hydroxybenzoate in xylene afforded the known hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene (48%) and the unknown octahomotetraoxacalix[4]arene (7, 9%) <06JOC4509>. The acid-catalyzed condensation of furan and pentafluorobenzaldehyde gave very low yields of the 30ʌ and 40ʌ expanded porphyrinoids, in which the furan rings were inverted in an alternating fashion and displayed non-twisted conformations <06Ol5541>. A methanofullerene derivative possessing an ammonium subunit has been prepared and subsequently shown to form a supramolecular complex with a porphyrin-crown ether conjugate <06T1979>.

CARBON–NITROGEN RINGS
A series of expanded porphyrins possessing meso-trifluoromethyl moieties, such as Nfused [24]penta-, [28]hexa-, [32]hepta-, [48]deca-, and [56]dodecaphyrins, were prepared by the acid-catalyzed, one-pot condensation of 2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrole <06CEJ4909>. The acid-catalyzed condensation of a pyrrole bisacrylaldehyde with a tripyrrane then oxidation with FeCl3 gave a [22]porphyrin-(3.1.1.3), which displayed a strong diamagnetic current in the NMR as well as a red shifted porphyrin-like UV-vis spectra <06OL5113>. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of expanded porphyrins e.g., the mesooctakis(pentafluorophenyl)[36]octaphyrins-(1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1) with an azomethine ylide regioand stereoselectively generated mono- and bis-pyrrolidine-fused octaphyrins <06OL1169>. A series of related expanded (4 to 44 pyrrole units) isocorroles was prepared in ca. 50% yields by treatment of the bis(azafulvene) derivative of gem-dimethyldipyrrylmethane with 2,2'bipyrrole under neutral conditions and without a catalyst <06TL1817>. Treatment of 4hydroxyisophthaldehyde with excess C6H5MgBr generated a carbinol that was subsequently condensed with pyrrole and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of BF3·Et2O, followed by oxidation with DDQ to afford new tetraarylcarbaporphyrinoids in 10-24% yield <06OL5263>. The synthesis of novel [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]porphyrin, from ȕ-nitro-mesotetraarylporphyrins with NaN3 in DMF, and its use in the creation of dimeric and pentameric porphyrins have been reported <06ACIE5487>. The Suzuki coupling of bromoporphyrins, derived from 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, with 2-allyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2dioxaborolane was conducted in toluene at 100 °C under an inert gas with anhydrous K2CO3 to give polyallylporphyrins in acceptable yields <06CC3900>. Improved methodology for the N-alkylation of N-confused porphyrins has appeared <06JOC811>. A different type of confused system recently appeared in which 6,11,16,21-tetra-3-aza-m-benziporphyrin (8), an analog of 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrin in which one of the pyrrole moieties was replaced by a pyridine ring pointing outwards, linked at the ȕ,ȕ'-positions, was formed by condensation of 3,5-bis[phenyl(2-pyrrolyl)methyl]pyridine, pyrrole, and p-tolualdehyde catalyzed by F3CCO2H <05EJOC5039>. The synthesis of 6-methyl-2,6,10-[11]-12,25-phenanthrolinophane possessing a 1,10phenanthroline ring with a 2,9-polyaza-bridge has been reported and characterized <06DT4000>. The use of water-soluble pyridinophanes for the two-centered phase-transfer catalysis of N-alkylation of indoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, and benzotriazoles has appeared <06S654>. Macrocycles possessing 3-8 and 10 subunits of N-(p-tolyl)aminopyridine, e.g., the aryl-substituted azacalix[n](2,6)pyridines (9), by a Cu- and Pt-catalyzed aryl amination have been formed <05SL263>; also see <06OL4895>. The reaction of 2,6dibromopyridine with N,N'-di(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine with Pd(dba)2/BINAP and NaO-tBu gave the desired polyazamacrocycle 10 in 24% yield <06SL87>; related 14-

membered tetraazamacrocycles possessing a pyridine subunit have also appeared <06DT4124>. The reaction of N-(3-chloromethyl-5-methylpyrazolyl)-4-methylpyrazolylmethane with 3-aminopropanol gave a tetrapyrazolic intermediate, which with 1,2dibromoethane under high dilution conditions gave the target macrocycle 11 <06T9153>. Various bridged nicotinates 12 possessing a [n](2,5)pyridinophane subunits (n = 8-14) were prepared by a different sequence of events, specifically the reaction of methyl propiolate with a series of formyl-substituted (vinylimino)phosphoranes <06T4128>. An interesting dynamic combinatorial library of macrocyclic oligoimines, starting with enantiopure transcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and 2,6-diformylpyridine, has appeared and these imines were subsequently reduced with borohydride to give the corresponding chiral polyamines in overall high yield and purity <06CC2224>. Although lactams are generally not considered in this review, the formation of bowl-shaped cyclic trimers 13 of aromatic amides was reported to occur in high yields by the condensation of meta-substituted 3-(alkylamino)benzoic acid using dichlorotriphenylphosphorane <06TL413>. A series of simple chiral polyazamacrocycles with 12-, 18-, 24-, 27-, and 36-membered rings were easily synthesized using (S)-Į-phenylethylamine, as the chiral source, and 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)pyridine <06TL2371>. Trianglamines, a family of macrocyclic heterophanes, have been synthesized through a [3+3] cyclocondensation of (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with terephthaldehyde, followed by borohydride reduction and N-alkylation <06CEJ1807>. The reaction of cyclam with 1,2-di(3-bromoprop-2-ynyl)benzene and K2CO3 in DMF at 25 °C for 12h gave a mixture of the mono- and desired bis-eneyne 14 <06TL117>. The improved synthesis of the 1,4,7,10,13,16,21,24-octaazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane (a simple peraza[2.2.2]cryptand) was prepared in 70% yield via a two-step one-pot process by the initial condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine with glyoxal in isopropanol at -78 °C, followed by a Na/liquid NH3 reduction <06S759>. The equilibrium and rearrangements associated with the two-step synthesis of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane from triethylenetetraamine, glyoxal, and diethyl oxalate have been considered <62T6855>. A novel bifunctional octa-coordinate ligand, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-4,7,10-triacetic-1{methyl[4-aminophenyl)methyl]phosphinic acid]}, has been reported <05OBC112>. NSubstituted diaza[12]annulenes have been prepared via a one-pot procedure with N-(2,4dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride with aryl and alkyl amines in 40-80% yield <06OL4279>. Macrocycles possessing two 1,5-diazacyclooctane subunits coupled with two ethylene bridges gave rise to the highly topologically constrained 1,4,8,11-tetraazatricyclo[9.3.3.34,8]eicosane <06ICC180>. The novel [2]rotaxanes possessing a tetracationic cyclophane, i.e., cyclobis(paraquat-4,4-biphenylene), and a lumpy molecular thread that incorporated a photoactive diarylcycloheptatriene and photo-active aryl subunits have been created in ca. 30% yields via simply coupling the two halves <06EJOC378>.

CARBON–SULFUR RINGS
A novel set of fully conjugated giant macrocyclic oligothiophenes containing 60ʌ, 90ʌ, 120ʌ, 150ʌ, and 180ʌ "frames" possessing butyl-substituents has been synthesized by means of either a Sonogashira or McMurry coupling procedure; the 60–180ʌ macrocycles possess 1.8–6 nm inner cavities and 3.3-7.5 nm outer molecular diameters <06JA16740>. Related cyclic oligothiophenes (CnT, n=6-30, even only) in syn- and anti-conformations have been theoretically studied at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level <06JOC2972>. The homocoupling of (hetero)aryl halides by electron-transfer oxidation of the Lipshutz cuprates [Ar2Cu(CN)Li2] with organic electron-acceptors has been demonstrated, for example, when bis(3-bromo-2thienyl)methane was treated with two equivalents of BuLi, followed by CuCN and Et3N, followed by oxidation with 1,4-benzoquinone, the desired 10membered ring was generated <06JOC6110>; the related bis(3-bromo-2-thienyl)dimethylsilane gave the silicon-bridged 10-membered cyclophane. OH S Under high-dilution conditions, the treatment of S disodium 1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolate with OH HO either 1,8-dichloro-3,6-dithiaoctane or 1,9-dichloro3,7-dithianonane gave the corresponding S maleonitrile-tetrathiacrown ethers [mn12S4 or mn13S4; the X-ray data confirmed the structures 15 and it was further shown that mn12S4 is the first preorganized tetradentate thiacrown ether that forms sandwich complexes with the coordination number eight [with silver(I)] <06EJIC2377>. The O-alkylation of 5,11,17,23tetra-tert-butyl-2,8,14,20-tetrathia-calix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetraol with bromomethyl acetate gave rise (47%) to the distal-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-26,28-dihydroxy-2,8,14,20-tetracalix[4]arene, which upon treatment with Cs2CO3 in THF, followed by 2-(chloromethyl)pyridine·HCl gave (61%) 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl25,27-bis[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-26,28-bis[(2-pyridinylmethyl)oxy]-2,8,14,20-tetrathiacalix-[4]arene possessing an 1,3-alternate configuration <06JIPMC31>. The first synthesis of the C3-symmetrical p-tert-butylhexahomotrithiacalix[3]arene (15) by means of a single-pot procedure by the treatment of 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)-p-tert-butylphenol with Na2S·9H2O under high dilution conditions; other hexahomotrithiacalix[3]arenes were

synthesized via a convergent process by a [2+1] cyclization from mono- and bis(chloromethyl)phenol components <06JIPMC253>. Using macrocyclization conditions, e.g., rapidly stirred suspension of Cs2CO3 in DMF in the concentration range of 50-100 mmol/L at 65-100 °C, macrocycles [20]aneS6(OH)6, [13]aneS4(OH), [26]aneS8(OH)2, and [32]aneS8(OH)2 have been prepared via the reaction of 1,3-dichloro-2-hydroxypropane with the appropriate dithiol <06P599>.

Several novel calix[4]arenocrowns were prepared by a simple one-pot reaction of calix[4]monohydroquinone diacetate with bis-tosylates, e.g. 1,4-bis[2-(2-(2-(2-tosyloxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzene, in dry MeCN in the presence of NaOH; the selfassembly into calix[4]areno[2]catenanes with a dicationic salt and p-bis(bromomethyl)benzene was also demonstrated <06TL6012>.

diamine, followed by reduction <06T8550>. The treatment of O,O'-bis(2formylphenyl)triethylene glycol with diethyl ketone in the presence of ammonium acetate gave the PEG-bridged 2,6-di(2-oxaphenyl)-3,5-piperidin-4-one in reasonable yield <06CHC125>. A variety of macrocyclic phenanthrolines were synthesized from 2,9-bis(4hydroxyphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline and numerous 1,3-bis(Ȧ-bromoalkoxy)benzenes (alkyl = C6-C16) were used and under specific reaction conditions [K2CO3 in DMSO/H2O (99:1) at 65 °C for 4 h], the C10 connectors were favored <06JOC7477>. The resultant Cu(I)phenanthroline (with C10 linkages) complex with tris(4-biphenyl)methyl-(CH2)6OC6H4CŁCH generated the [2]rotaxane in 72% yield and thus it was catalyzed by the macrocyclic Cu(I) reagent <06OL5133>. The route to oligomeric corroles has been reported in which a monomeric meso-free oxacorrole was treated with AgOTf, instead of the usual AgPF6, the dimer was isolated in ca. 90% yield; this coupling was first observed during an attempt to metallate the oxacorrole with a silver salt <06CEJ105>. An alternative to forming the meso-meso linkages was reported for the coupling in the related family of 22ʌ smaragdyrins using the AgPF6 (3.7-19.3% yield of dimer); however with n-BuLi, the yield was shown to be 10-30% <06CC4584>. Two-photon absorption cross-section values for a series of 22ʌ smaragdyrins possessing phenylacetylenylphenyl- and [(phenylacetylenyl)phenylacetylenyl]phenyl- with meso-links as well as their Rh(I) complexes have been reported <06OL629>. Substituted oxacalix[m]arene[n]pyrimidines have been prepared by SNAr conditions on 4,6dihalopyrimidines; however depending on the reaction conditions, either a mixture of oxacalix[m]arenes (m = 4-12) was obtained or m = 4 could be selectively synthesized in high yield <06OL4161>. Oxacalix[2]arene[2]hetarenes were formed by the cyclooligomerization of meta-diphenols with meta-dichlorinated azaheterocycles in a single step <06OL2755>. O

The synthesis of macrocyclic chiral aminoacids was demonstrated by the initial conversion of a bis-aldehyde 17 with 1,3-diaminopropane to give the corresponding bis-imine 18, which with phenoxyacetyl chloride in the presence of NEt3 gave an ca. equal mixture of bis-ȕ-lactams 19 and 20 that can lastly be ring-opened to afford the desired chiral macrocycles 21 and 22 <06JOC8787>. Norephedrine and (1R,2S)-ephedrine were initially transformed into the mono-N-protected intermediate, which was then reacted with BrCH2CN, followed by sequential treatment with SOCl2, followed by small PEG reagents, mesylation, deprotection of the N-cyanomethyl group, and lastly intramolecular alkylation gives easy access to chiral azacrown ethers <06TL4817>. A chiral N-containing calix[4]arene bearing the chiral 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-oxyamino moiety on the lower rim showed excellent molecular recognition between the mandelic acid enantiomers <06TL6357>. A series of chiral C2symmetric 2,2'-bipyridine-containing crown ethers has been reported for the enantiomeric recognition of amino acid derivatives <05T7924>. An aqueous solution of equimolar quantities of 2-[2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy]ethylamine, 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dialdehyde, and Cu(I) gave rise to a dimeric, helical macrocycle in quantitative yield <06CEJ4069>; by alteration of the components, catenanes could be isolated. A new type of molecular motor was demonstrated for [7.7](2,6)pyridinocyclophanes, possessing embedded 1,3-dioxanes within the bridges; the rotation of the central pyridine ring was controlled by the bridge composition and that molecular motion was stopped by the addition of CF3SO3Ag <06OL2619>.

A series of redox-active Wurster's crownophanes were prepared via a macrocyclization process involving N,N'-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine an various tosylated glycols <05T12350>. A novel example of bis-macrocycle of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaphenyl-1,4,5,8,9,12hexaazatriphenylene (24) prepared from a linear tris-benzil system connected by PEG linkages has appeared <06OL1311>. In the process of making complexes composed of macrocyclic molecular clips, e.g., 25, the C,N,O-macrocycles were generated from 1,2-bis[2(4-(4-pyridinyl)phenylmethoxy)ethoxy]ethane and Į,Į'-dibromo-p-xylene with added KPF6 <06CEJ865>.

CARBON–NITROGEN–SULFUR RINGS
A series of porphyrinoids has been synthesized by the [3+1] strategy starting from tripyrrane analogues (26) with the desired thiophenediol 27 to give 28 and 29; interestingly, when macrocycle 28 was treated with alkoxide in EtOH, conversion to 29 was observed along with decomposition <06OL3355>. The synthesis and characterization of a coremodified [26]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.0.0) and the related 54ʌ-modified dodecaphyrin have been reported <06OL4847>. Dithiaethyneazuliporphyrin (30), the first contracted carbaporphyrinoid, has been prepared by a [3+1] strategy using 1,4-bis[5-(phenyl-hydroxymethyl)thien-2-yl]-1,4-diphenyl-2-butyne and azulene <06CC3346>.

novel photo-triggering device involving the E to Z isomerism <06CC3818>. The proof-ofstructure of a tripyridinylthioethereal macrocycle 32 has appeared showing the high degree of molecular distortion <06AC(E)o4952>. The use of 1,9-dithia-5,13-diazacyclohexadecane in conjunction with orthogonally protected cyclam and aza-18-crown-6 has given rise to a new heterotopic macrocycle incorporating N4-, N2S2-, and NO6-donor sites; the authors also incorporated cyclam and the 1,9-dithia-5,13-diazacyclohexadecane into a cofacial ligand <06T4173>. The N-functionalization of 1,4,10,13-tetrathia-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane with 2-chloro-N-pyren-1-yl-acetamide in MeCN with K2CO3 and KI has been reported <06TL497>. The 1,4,7-trithia-11-azacyclotetradecane has been prepared (62%) from N,Nbis(3-chloropropyl)amine and 2,2'-thiobis(ethanethiol), subsequent treatment with 9(chloromethyl)anthracene generated the desired N-alkylated product (73%) <06EJIC2997>. The novel use of a rhodium(II)-catalyzed double Stevens rearrangement has been applied to the conversion of sulfur-containing heterophane 33 then to the desulfurized cyclophane 34 <06OL2511>; this procedure complements the well-known ring-contraction of these thiaheterophanes. A novel zig-zag polymer has been reported that possesses dithia[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane moieties; the incorporated syn-form of the pyridinophane unit readily complexes palladium to generate a polymeric complex that can catalyze the Heck coupling reaction <06OL1029>.

A new 2,2'-bipyridine containing phosphadithiamacrocycle 36 has been synthesized (10%) by the treatment of 6,6'-bis(bromomethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine and dilithium 3-phenyl-3phosphapenta-1,5-dithiolate; conversion to the corresponding P-oxide was readily obtained by its simple oxidation in an open atmosphere <06P801>. The synthesis of calix[1]phosphole[1]thiophene[2]pyrrole (37) was generated in low overall yield by the treatment of 2,5-bis(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phosphole P-sulfide with boron trifluoride etherate in pyrrole to generate the ı4-2,5-bis[(pyrrole-2-yl)methyl]phosphole intermediate <06JA11760>, which was similarly condensed with 2,5-bis(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)thiophene to give the desired macrocycle 37 <06OM3105>. The corresponding calix[1]phosphole[1]furan[2]pyrrole was prepared by the substitution of 2,5-bis(1-hydroxy-1methylethyl)furan in the last step <06OM3105> or with 2,5-bis[hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]-

New procedures to the formation of 1,4-dioxa-7,11-dithiacyclotridecan-9-ol and 1,4,7trioxa-10,14-dithiacyclohexadecaen-12-ol utilized 2,3-dibromopropanol with either (CH2OCH2CH2SH)2 or O(CH2CH2OCH2CH2SH)2 with Li2CO3 in aqueous EtOH; the procedure was shown to proceed via an oxirane intermediate <06CHC206>. The convenient oxidation of the above tridecan-9-ol to the 1,4-dioxa-7,11-dithiacyclotridecan-9-one was accomplished by a Swern oxidation at low (-70 °C) temperatures; the alkylation and acylation of the ring alcohol moieties were also reported therein. A new amphiphilic bis-tetrathiafulvalene annulated macrocycle 38 that can form redoxactive organogels as well as electrically active nanostructures, e.g., nanowires and sizecontrollable nanodots, has been reported <05ACIE7283>. Thiones that incorporate two different poly(ethylene glycol) chains were prepared from bis(tetraethylammonium)bis(1,3dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiol)zincate and subsequent tosylation, followed by reaction with ptert-butylcalix[4]arene to generate 39 <06CEJ1906>. This thioxo reagent did not couple upon reaction with triethyl phosphite, but upon conversion [Hg(OAc)2, CHCl3 and AcOH] of the thioxo moiety to the oxo analog, which was successfully transformed to the desired TTF derivative 40; the final step was the alkylation of the remaining phenolic positions.

The dynamic self-assembly of bis-N,N'-(2-(2-(2-(2-thioacetylethoxy)ethoxy)ethylperylenetetracarboxylic diimide via ʌ-ʌ attraction and disulfide bonds led to the formation of a cyclic perylene dimer as well as the related catenane composed of a threading process <06JA11150>. The formation of the N-azo-coupled NO2S2 macrocycle 41 was accomplished by the treatment of N,N'-phenyldiethanolamine with tosyl chloride, followed by thiourea and then bicarbonate to give 2,2'-(phenylazanediyl)diethanethiol, which with 1,2-bis[2(chloromethyl)phenoxy]ethane generated the desired macrocycle in 48% yield <06OL1641>.

The treatment of dendritic ligands possessing directed pyridine end-groups with diplatinum acceptors both possessing a 120 ° angles lead to the self-assembled hexameric core (42) of a metallodendritic family <06JA10014>. The reaction of a series of di-directed metal-terminated accepters, based on 3,6-bis[trans-Pt(PEt3)2(NO3)]phenanthrene and related extended counterparts with a tridirectional tetrahedral donor [tris(4-pyridinylethynylphenylene)ethane] gave three-dimensional M3L2 trigonal-bipyramidal cages;<06JOC9464> for related systems, also see <06OL3991, 06JOC4155>. The very unique self-assembly of a 1-perfluoroalkyl-2,6-di(4-diethynylpyridine) with Pd(NO3)2 gave a well-confined molecularscale fluorous "droplet" and has been considered a "inverse dendrimer" <06MI1273>. The self-complementary assembly of metallomacrocycles has been accomplished by the mixing of equimolar amounts of N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyamide, [RuCl2(PPh3)2] and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane <06ACIE4290>. Treatment of four equivalents of N,N',N"-tris(3-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide with three equivalents of Pd(NO3)2 in DMSO gave a quantitative yield of a single self-assembled cage, <[Pd6L8](NO3)12>, assigned by a single crystal structure <06JA3530>. As a continued effort to prepared hexameric systems based on the self-assembly of directed bis-terpyridine monomers, several interesting in families, e.g. 43, of iron and ruthenium connectivity have appeared <06DMP413, 06DT3518>. But in the assembly process, the creation of a three-step procedure to the novel first nondendritic fractal 44 entitled the "Sierpinski hexagonal gasket" was reported <06MI1782>. O(Gn)
