Synthesis of 4-aminotropones through a cyclization-ring expansion process occurs in a single step and with excellent yields from 4-amino-2,5-cyclohexadienones (p-quinamines) bearing a 4-sulfinyl or sulfonyl methyl group.

Efficient synthesis of 3,4-diazabenzo[b]tropone was first achieved utilizing 4pi-8pi sequential electrocyclic reactions of functionalized benzocyclobutenone derivatives. These compounds are highly electron deficient and readily form amine adducts at ambient temperature. Furthermore, gentle heating resulted in quantitative nitrogen extrusion to produce

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

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

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.
