The photochemical reaction between optically active ene carbamates and chromium alkoxycarbene complexes containing unsaturated aliphatic side chains was further developed. Although remote olefinic groups, including conjugated dienes, were tolerated, a homoallylic side chain underwent intramolecular reaction to give a strained cyclobutanone. (+)-Cerulenin was synthesized utilizing the photochemical reaction of an alkynylcarbene complex with an optically active ene carbamate and the bis(pi-crotyl)nickel halide alkylation of a vinyl bromide as key steps.

The synthesis of an unnatural amino acid, 1-amino-3-[2-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran(12)-1-yl)ethyl]cyclobutanecarboxylic acid, was achieved. This new potential BNCT agent was prepared via the monoalkylation of m-carborane with 4-bromobutene to produce 4-m-carboranyl-1-butene, which was then subjected to a 2 + 2 cycloaddition using dichloroketene. The resultant boronated cyclobutanone was reductively dechlorinated prior to the formation of the corresponding hydantoin, which was hydrolized to the title compound in excellent yield.

The architecturally unprecedented sesquiterpene (-)-salsolene oxide (1) has been synthesized in enantioselective fashion from (R)-(-)-carvone. Generation of the phenylthio-substituted vinyl ketene 4 is followed by intramolecular cyclization to the functionalized cyclobutanone 9. Vinyllithium addition to this intermediate proceeds in that stereocontrolled fashion which enables oxy-Cope rearrangement to operate readily under conditions of kinetic control. After hydride reduction, the desulfurization of 16 proceeds with inversion of bridgehead olefin geometry to deliver 17. This access route to the thermodynamically more stable geometric arrangement permits direct entry to 1. Attention is called specifically to the critical 3-fold function played by a phenylthio group introduced at the outset.

Novel organofullerenes bearing a pyrimidine nucleus covalently attached to the C(60) cage have been prepared by [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of C(60) and pyrimidine o-quinodimethanes generated "in situ" from the readily available cyclobutapyrimidines which are prepared in a one-pot procedure from cyclobutanone and alkyl or aryl nitriles. The reaction mechanism involves formation of a nitrilium cation with participation of two molecules of the respective nitrile. A side-product (16) formed from two cyclobutanone molecules is obtained together with the target cyclobutapyrimidines 4a-d. Compounds 4a-d are appropriate precursors for the generation of substituted pyrimidine o-quinodimethanes 5a-d which are efficiently trapped by the C(60) molecule in a cycloaddition reaction which according to theoretical calculations is controlled by the HOMO of the diene. (1)H NMR spectra indicate the presence of a dynamic process attributed to the boat-to-boat interconversion of the cyclohexene ring. The activation free energy has been measured by dynamic NMR experiments showing values DeltaG() approximately 16-17 kcal/mol for both methylene groups, depending upon the substituents on the pyrimidine unit. Theoretical calculations at the semiempirical PM3 level confirm the presence of a boat conformation for the cyclohexene ring which undergoes a rapid flipping motion resulting in an average C(s)() symmetry as it is observed in the (1)H NMR spectra. The cyclic voltammetry measurements show the presence of reduction waves cathodically shifted, related to C(60), due to the saturation of a double bond of the C(60) cage. A weak electronic interaction is observed between the pyrimidine moiety and the C(60) core.

The spirocyclopropanated bicyclobutylidenes 3-7 have been prepared by McMurry coupling of the corresponding spirocyclopropanated cyclobutanone (3 and 5), Staudinger-Pfenniger reaction (4), oxidative coupling of a Wittig ylide (4) or Wittig olefination of perspirocyclopropanated cyclobutanone (6 and 7). The structure of the parent 2a and the perspirocyclopropanated bicyclobutylidene 5 was determined by X-ray crystallography which disclosed considerable steric congestion around the double bond. As a result 5 did undergo addition of dichlorocarbene, epoxidation with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, and cyclopropanation with CH2I2/ZnEt2, but did not add the more bulky dibromocarbene. The reaction of 5 with tetracyanoethene proceeded smoothly, but led to a formal [3+2] cycloadduct across the proximal single bond of one of the inner cyclopropane rings. The consecutive spirocyclopropanation of bicyclobutylidene led to a bathochromic shift in the UV spectra of 12 and 17nm, respectively, for each pair of beta- and alpha-spirocyclopropane groups. In the He(I)-photoelectron spectra of these bicyclobutylidenes, the effect of spirocyclopropanation upon their pi-ionization energies (pi-IE,) was found to be almost additive, leading to a lowering of 0.05 eV per any additional beta-spirocyclopropane, and 0.28-0.22 eV per additional alpha-spirocyclopropane group; this indicates an increasing nucleophilicity of the double bonds in the order 1 < 4 < 3 < 5. Following the radical cations of the three symmetrical bicyclobutylidenes without (2a, b) and with six (5) spiroannelated cyclopropane rings, the radical cations of two symmetrical bicyclobutylidenes with two (4) and four (3) such rings were studied by ESR spectroscopy. Whereas 2b.+, 3.+, and 5.+ could be generated by electrolytic oxidation of the corresponding hydrocarbons in solution, the spectra of 2a.+ and 4.+, with unsubstituted 2,2',4,4'-positions, were observed upon radiolysis of their neutral precursors in a Freon matrix. On going from 2a.+ to 4.+, the coupling constant [aH] of the eight beta protons in the 2,2',4,4'-positions of bicyclobutylidene increases from 2.62 to 3.08 mT, and that of the four gamma protons in the 3,3'-positions changes from 0.27 to 0.049 to 0.401 mT on passing from 2a.+ via 2b.+ to 3.+. Computations by means of the density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311+G*//B3LYP/6-31G* level reproduce well the experimental hyperfine data.

[reaction: see text] The preparation of novel isoxazolocyclobutanone and isoxazolinocyclobutenone derivatives via a traceless solid-phase sulfone linker strategy is described. Key steps in the solid-phase protocol reported here include (i) sulfinate right arrow sulfone alkylation, (ii) four-member ring formation by sulfone dianion alkylation, (iii) heterocycle formation by nitrile oxide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, and (iv) traceless product release by cyclobutanol right arrow cyclobutanone oxidation with concomitant linker cleavage by sulfinate elimination.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) 3C enzyme is a cysteine proteinase essential for viral replication and infectivity and represents a target for the development of antiviral drugs. A number of serine and threonine beta-lactones were synthesized and tested against HAV 3C proteinase. The D-N-Cbz-serine beta-lactone 5a displays competitive reversible inhibition with a K(i) value of 1.50 x 10(-6) M. Its enantiomer, L-N-Cbz-serine beta-lactone 5b is an irreversible inactivator with k(inact) = 0.70 min(-1), K(Iota) = 1.84 x 10(-4) M and k(inact)/K(Iota) = 3800 M(-1) min(-1). Mass spectrometry and HMQC NMR studies using (13)C-labeled 5b show that inactivation of the enzyme occurs by nucleophilic attack of the cysteine thiol (Cys-172) at the beta-position of the oxetanone ring. Although the N-Cbz-serine beta-lactones 5a and 5b display potent inhibition, other related analogues with an N-Cbz side chain, such as the five-membered ring homoserine gamma-lactones 14a and 14b, the four-membered ring beta-lactam 33, 2-methylene oxetane 34, cyclobutanone 36, and 3-azetidinone 39, fail to give significant inhibition of HAV 3C proteinase, thus demonstrating the importance of the beta-lactone ring for binding.

trans-(DMPE)(2)Ru(H)(NH(2)) (1) dehydrogenates cyclohexadiene and 9,10-dihydroanthracene to yield benzene (or anthracene), (DMPE)(2)Ru(H)(2), and ammonia. Addition of fluorene to 1 results in the formation of the ion pair [trans-(DMPE)(2)Ru(H)(NH(3))(+)][A(-)] (A(-) = fluorenide, 4a). Complex 1 also reacts with weak acids A-H (A-H = phenylacetylene, 1,2-propadiene, phenylacetonitrile, 4-(alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoromethyl)phenylacetonitrile, cyclobutanone, phenol, p-cresol, aniline) to form ammonia and trans-(DMPE)(2)Ru(H)(A) (7, 8, 9a, 9b, 10, 11b, 11c, 12, respectively). In the cases where A-H = phenylacetylene, cyclobutanone, aniline, phenol, and p-cresol, the reaction was observed to proceed via ion pairs analogous to 4a. Compound 1 is reactive toward even weaker acids such as toluene, propylene, ammonia, cycloheptatriene, and dihydrogen, but in these cases deuterium labeling studies revealed that only H/D exchange between A-H and the ND(2) group is observed, rather than detectable formation of ion pairs or displacement products. Addition of triphenylmethane to 1 results in the formation of an equilibrium mixture of 1, triphenylmethane, and the ruthenium/triphenylmethide ion pair 4h. If the energetics of ion-pair association are ignored, this result indicates that the basicity of 1 is similar to that of triphenylmethide. All these observations support the conclusion that the NH(2) group in amido complex 1 is exceptionally basic and as a result prefers to abstract a proton rather than a hydrogen atom from a reactive C-H bond. The energetics and mechanism of these proton-transfer and -exchange reactions are analyzed with the help of DFT calculations.

[reaction: see text] The 3-quinuclidinone-catalyzed (pK(BH) = 7.5) enolization of cyclobutanone (1) in D(2)O at 25 degrees C, I = 1.0 (KCl) was followed by deuterium incorporation, which was determined by (1)H NMR. The second-order rate constant for the buffer-catalyzed deprotonation of 1 was found to be k(B) = 3.3 x 10(-4) M(-1) s(-1), which is compared to rates for acetone and 2-(2'-oxopropyl)benzaldehyde under similar conditions. The data shows that ring strain has very little effect on the energy barrier to deprotonation of 1 vs the unstrained systems.

A new two-step synthetic approach toward 3-(chloromethyl)cyclobutanone is described and used in the synthesis of 2,4-methanoproline analogues. The key step consists of a reversible addition of hydrogen cyanide onto the imines 12 in 50-74% yield under conditions that allow ring closure. 2-Alkyl-2-azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane-1-carbonitriles 19, synthesized in four steps, can also be converted to the corresponding amines.
