Abstract:
Reported herein are the regioselective [3 + 2]/[4 + 2] annulations of α-nitrosostyrenes with hexahydro-1,3,5-triazines, which provide five- and six-membered heterocycles in moderate yields under mild reaction conditions. Compared to previous reports, this unusual [3 + 2] annulation features the use of rhodium catalysts to control the regioselectivity of α-nitrosostyrenes, generated in situ from α-bromooximes 1. Meanwhile, the [4 + 2] annulation process was primarily regulated by 1,4-dioxane and temperature. In addition, DFT calculations reveal that the activation barrier of the [3 + 2] annulation is lower than the [4 + 2] process (1.7 kcal/mol) in the presence of a Rh catalyst. Finally, synthetic transformation of cyclic nitrones 3 and oxadiazines 4 was also demonstrated.

The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...

Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
