General description

Metal-catalyzed [6+3] cycloaddition of tropone with azomethine ylides has been reported.

Application

Tropone has been used in synthesis of:

A novel protocol for the annulation of tropone to enals involving nucleophilic heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed homoenolate formation has been developed. Interestingly, the reaction led to bicyclic delta-lactones instead of the expected gamma-spirolactones, presumably by the uncommon [8 + 3]

The cyanosubstituted trimethylenemethane donor undergoes palladium-catalyzed [6 + 3] cycloaddition with a variety of tropones to yield bicyclo[4.3.1]decadienes in excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Products of the Pd-TMM [6 + 3] cycloaddition participate in a thermal [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement to

An efficient synthesis of 4-aminotropones has been achieved in excellent yields by simple treatment of 4-amino-4-[(p-tolylsulfinyl)methyl]-2,5-cyclohexadienones (p-quinamines) with NaH. The method allowed regiocontrolled access to 3-methyl, 5-methyl- and 3,5-dimethyl-substituted derivatives starting from p-quinamines with adequate substituents at the cyclohexadienone moiety

Two tropone derivatives, orobanone (1), previously isolated from Orobanche rapum-genistae, and the new natural product pernambucone (3,8-dimethyl-5-isopropyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-azulene-1,6-dione, 2), were isolated from the sterm bark of Croton argyroglossum. The structures were elucidated from spectroscopic data.

The carbocyclic core of CP-225,917 and CP-263,114 is accessible through the [6+4] cycloaddition of a tropone with a 2-substituted cyclopentadiene. Examination of this reaction has revealed for the first time that this cycloaddition process is catalyzed by Lewis acids, including
