General description

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

Application

Tropone has been used in synthesis of:

  • 6,7-benzobicyclo [3.2.2] nona-3,6,8-trien-2-one via thermal addition to bezyne

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

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

The mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction and toxicity induced by the tropolones, beta-thujaplicin (4-isopropyl tropolone), tropolone and tropone, has been studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. Incubation of hepatocytes with beta-thujaplicin (1-4 mM) elicited a concentration and time-dependent cell killing. The
