(1,4/2)-Cyclohex-5-ene-triol was synthesized starting from cyclohexa-1,4-diene with two different approaches. Photooxygenation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene and epoxy-cyclohexene afforded anti-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5-yl hydroperoxide and anti-7-oxabicclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-yl hydroperoxide, respectively. Hydroperoxy endoperoxide was reduced with aqueous sodium bisulfite; hydroperoxy-epoxide with dimethylsulfide-titanium tetraisopropoxide to give 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-ol. Acidic hydrolysis of the epoxy-alcohol gave the (1,4/2)-cyclohex-3-ene-triol. Oxidation of the double bond with KMnO4 resulted in the formation of proto-quercitol.

Palladium-catalyzed formation of oxazolidinones from biscarbamates: a mechanistic study
Kilbas, Benan; Balci, Metin (Beilstein Institut, 2011-2-24)
Oxazolidinones can be synthesized starting from cyclic biscarbamates via a palladium-catalyzed reaction. To test the proposed mechanism of this reaction, first, bicyclonorcarene endoperoxides derived from cyano and carbomethoxy cycloheptatrienes were synthesized and converted into the corresponding diols. The reaction of diols with toluenesulfonyl isocyanate followed by a palladium catalyzed reaction furnished oxazolidinone derivatives in similar yields. It was shown that, if one face of the double bond is ...
A novel asymmetric synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched norbornane-type diamine derivatives
BOLM, CARSTEN; SCHİFFERS, INGO; ATODİRESEİ, IULİANA; Özçubukçu, Salih; RAABE, GERHARD (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2003-01-01)
The simple and highly enantioselective methanolysis of norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride mediated by quinidine leads to the corresponding cis-monomethyl ester with 98% ee. By means of selective ester epimerization, followed by Curtius degradation of the intermediate trans-diacyl azide, two optically active norbornane-type diamines are obtained as their hydrochloric salts. Liberating the amine with an excess of triethylamine in situ and subsequent derivatization affords potential C-1-symmetric ligands f...
A novel multielectrochromic copolymer based on 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole and EDOT
Varis, Serhat; Ak, Metin; Akhmedov, Iris M.; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2007-05-01)
Copolymer of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (NTP) with 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) was electrochemically synthesized and characterized. Resulting copolymer film has distinct electrochromic properties. It has five different colors (light red, red, light grey, green, and blue). At the neutral state lambda(max) x value due to the pi-pi* transition was found to be 550 nm and E-g was calculated as 1.6 eV. Double potential step chronoamperometry experiment shows that copolymer film has good...
Stereospecific synthesis of a DL-gala-aminoquercitol derivative
KURBANOĞLU, NAMUDAR İZZET; ÇELİK, Murat; KILIÇ, Hamdullah; Alp, Cemalettin; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Balcı, Metin (2010-05-08)
A new aminoquercitol derivative was synthesized starting from 1,4-cyclohexadiene. Photooxygenation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene afforded anti-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5-yl hydroperoxicle as the main product. The formed hydroperoxy endoperoxide was reduced with LiAlH(4) to produce anti-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5-ol. Protection of alcohol with acetyl chloride followed by reduction of the endoperoxide with thiourea, and then palladium-catalyzed ionization/cyclization reaction gave an oxazolidinone deri...
A new approach for the synthesis of spiro and gem-dimethyl-substituted 1,4-oxazepines from N-propargylic beta-enaminones
Karadeniz, Eda; Kelgökmen, Yılmaz; Zora, Metin (Wiley, 2020-11-01)
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of spiro-1,4-oxazepines and 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines is reported. When treated with ZnI2 and AgSbF6 in refluxing DCE, cyclohexane-embedded N-propargylic beta-enaminones underwent 7-exo-dig cyclization to afford spiro-1,4-oxazepines, specifically 12-methylene-11-oxa-7-azaspiro[5.6]dodeca-7,9-dienes, in good to high yields. Accordingly, N-(1,1-dimethyl)propargylic beta-enaminones produced 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines. Cyclization was found to be general for ...
