The chemistry of two bicyclic endoperoxides, obtained by photooxygenation of 2,3-benzotropone (= 5H-benzocyclohepten-5-one 5) and of its ethyl carboxylate derivative 15, was investigated with the aim of synthesizing the respective benzotropolone derivatives. The reaction of the endoperoxide 10 derived from 5 with thiourea gave the desired benzotropolone, i.e., 6-hvdroxy-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-one (11), in high yield (Scheme 1). On the other hand, the endoperoxide 16 derived from the ethyl carboxylate derivative 15 underwent an unprecedented transformation yielding mainly the ring-contracted lactones 28 and 29 besides the expected substituted benzotropolone derivative 27 (Scheme 5). However, the thermolysis reaction of the same endoperoxide 16 resulted in the formation of four rearranged compounds with different skeletons (Scheme 3). The formation mechanism of all products is discussed (Schemes 4 and 6).

Chemistry of dioxine-annelated cycloheptatriene endoperoxides and their conversion into tropolone derivatives: an unusual non-benzenoid singlet oxygen source Dastan, A; Balcı, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-24) The chemistry of two bicyclic endoperoxides, obtained by photooxygenation of 2,3-dihydro-7H-cyclohepta[1,4]dioxine and 2,3-dihydro-7H-cyclohepta[b][1,4]dioxin-7-one was investigated with the aim of synthesizing the respective tropolone derivatives. The reaction of these endoperoxides with base, thiourea and their thermolysis provided the desired tropolone derivatives in high yield. On the other hand, the thermolysis of the endoperoxide derived from 2,3-dihydro-7H-cyclohepta[b] [ 1,4]dioxin-7-one underwent a...
Synthesis, characterization, crystal and molecular structure of 1,5-Dihydro-2H-cyclopenta[1,2-b : 5,4-b ']dipyridin-2-imine Baysal, Akin; Durap, Feyyaz; Gumgum, Bahattin; Yildirim, Leyla T.; Ulku, Dincer; Boga, Ayse Dilek; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 2007-01-01) The reaction of 1,5-diliydro-2H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b'ldipyridin-2-one (3) with an alkylamine (butvlamine, hexylamine or ethylenediamine) yields, quite unexpectedly and in the absence of catalyst, the novel compound 1,5-dihydro-2H-cyclopentafl,2-b:5.4-b']dipyridin-2-imine (4) as the sole, analytically pure, solid product, which was fully characterized. The structure of 4 was unequivocally solved by single-crystal X-ray-diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic cell (space group P 2(1/...
Synthesis of various camphor-based chiral pyridine derivatives Tanyeli, Cihangir; Isik, M (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-19) (+)-beta-Hydroxymethylenecamphor 1 and enamines 2a-e were transformed into chiral camphor-based pyridine derivatives 3a-e via a tandem condensation reaction in good yields.
Reaction of Metal-Carbene Complexes with Cyclobutenediones: The First General C-C Bond Insertion Reaction for Fischer Carbene Complexes Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01) Alkylcarbene-chromium complexes react with cyclobutenediones to give 2-alkoxy-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones in moderate yield, accompanied by varying amounts of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione derivatives which result from reduction of the initial product by the chromium byproduct. The reaction is general for a variety of cyclobutenedione derivatives with alkoxy, alkyl, or aryl substituents. The major products of the reaction between arylcarbene complexes and cyclobutenediones are 5-alkylidenefuranone derivatives. A m...
Novel enantioselective synthesis of both enantiomers of furan-2-yl Amines and amino acids Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesemoglu, O; Ulku, D; Arici, C (Wiley, 2003-01-01) A new enantioselective synthesis of furan-2-yl amines and amino acids is described, in which the key step is the oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of O-benzyl (E)- and (Z)-furan-2-yl ketone oximes to the corresponding chiral amines. The chirality of the furan-2-yl amines is fully controlled by the appropriate choice of the geometrical isomer of the O-benzyl oxime. Oxidation of the furan ring furnished amino acids in high yields.
