Radical cyclisations of methylenecyclopropane deratives

This thesis was concerned with the synthesis, and radical cyclisations, of compounds containing a methylenecyclopropane moiety. Special interest is given to developing tandem radical cyclisations to create polycyclic systems.

Chapter 1 describes the syntheses of suitable 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropane derivatives, and the investigations into their tandem cyclisations. Tandem cyclisation of (39), to give (40), was found to be a particularly clean and efficient reaction, when slow addition techniques were used for the addition of tin hydride and AIBN. (Fig. 8997A)

Chapter 2 describes the syntheses of 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropylmalonyl compounds suitable for atom transfer mediated cyclisations, (42). Under atom transfer conditions these compounds underwent the anticipated 7-endo cyclisation to give (43). However, the desired tandem cyclisation, to give radical (44), did not occur and cyclopropyl radical (43) was trapped by iodine atom transfer. (Fig. 8997B)

Abstract

This thesis was concerned with the synthesis, and radical cyclisations, of compounds containing a methylenecyclopropane moiety. Special interest is given to developing tandem radical cyclisations to create polycyclic systems.

Chapter 1 describes the syntheses of suitable 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropane derivatives, and the investigations into their tandem cyclisations. Tandem cyclisation of (39), to give (40), was found to be a particularly clean and efficient reaction, when slow addition techniques were used for the addition of tin hydride and AIBN. (Fig. 8997A)

Chapter 2 describes the syntheses of 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropylmalonyl compounds suitable for atom transfer mediated cyclisations, (42). Under atom transfer conditions these compounds underwent the anticipated 7-endo cyclisation to give (43). However, the desired tandem cyclisation, to give radical (44), did not occur and cyclopropyl radical (43) was trapped by iodine atom transfer. (Fig. 8997B)
