Synthesis and Structure of 1,9-Dinitro-5-oxa-11-azatricyclo[6.4.0.04,9]dodecan-2-one

A series of 6,11-disubstituted 1,9-dinitro-5-oxa-11-azatricyclo[6.4.0.04,9 ]dodecan-2-ones were prepared from anionic adducts of 2,4-dinitrophenol with propanone and 2-phenylethanone carbanions by successive selective reduction with sodium borohydride and aminomethylation with formaldehyde and primary amines. By spectral methods and by quantum-chemical calculations following PM3 method the structure of the molecules synthesized was shown to contain all the three rings in a chair form with equatorial substituents in positions 6 and 11.

Synthesis of 2,6-diazatricyclododecanes from 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitropyridine

We found that treatment of 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitropyridine (I) in acetone first with secondary or tertiary amine, e.g., 3,5-dimethylpiperidine, and then with an aminomethylating mixture in the presence of an acid leads to the formation of 6-substituted 4,8-dinitro-2,6diazatricyclo[6.4.0.0]dodecane-3,11-diones IIIa and IIIb. The product structure was determined on the basis of their IR and H and C NMR spectra and the results of two-dimensional homo(COSY) and heteronuclear (HMBC, HSQC) correlation experiments.

Selective reduction of 6-substituted 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes

Reduction of 6-substituted 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes gives either saturated 1,5-diamino-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane or unsaturated 1,5-diamino-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes, depending on the conditions and nature of substituent in the substrate.

Synthesis and Structure of Derivatives of 9-(2-Oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azabicylo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones

A number of 3-R-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones was synthesized by Mannich reaction involving Yanovsky adduct of 2,4-dinitronaphthol. It was established by molecular spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis that the piperidine ring in these compounds was in the chairconformation with a diequatorial position of the substituent attached to the heteroatom and 2-oxo-propyl group, and the cyclohexenone fragment was in sofaform. By an example of 3-methyl-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one the dissociative ionization of bicyclononanes under the electron impact was investigated.

Aminomethylation by Formaldehyde and Primary Amines of Anionic σσ-Adduct Obtained from 2,4-Dinitrophenol and Acetophenone Carbanion

By condensation of 2,4-bis(aci-nitro)-3-(2-phenyl-2-oxoethyl)cyclohex-5-en-1-one with formaldehyde and primary amines a series of N-substituted 9-(2-phenyl-2-oxoethyl)-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones was synthesized. With the use of X-ray analysis the cyclohexenone fragment in the 3-(2-bromoethyl)-1,5-dinitro-9-(2-phenyl-2-oxoethyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones was established to exist in sofa conformation, and the nitrogen-containing ring to have the chair conformation with equatorial orientation of substituents in 3 and 9 positions. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the reaction under study was interpreted relying on the quantum-chemical calculations by AM1 and PM3 procedures.

Hydride adducts of dinitroquinolines in multicomponent Mannich reaction

Dinitro derivatives of 8-oxyquinoline, 8-oxyquinaldine, and 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-one when reacted with NaBH4 form hydride σH-adducts that are involved into a multicomponent Mannich reaction affording pyridoazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane.

Synthesis of N-substituted 9-[2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones

Aminomethylation has been accomplished of the anionic Yanovskii adduct of 2,4-dinitronaphthol and 3,4-dimethylenedioxyacetophenone. The structure of the 3-substituted 9-[2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azabicylo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one was determined by two-dimensional homo-and heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy.

Chlorination features of 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes

The electrophilic chlorine addition to 3-substituted 1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]-non-6-enes in the tetrachloromethane is accompanied at an intramolecular 3,7-cyclization giving 6-chloro-3-R-1,5-dinitro-3-azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.03,7]nonane chlorides. The reaction of the tricyclic quaternary ammonium salts with sodium methoxide leads to the formation of dealkylated and dehydrohalogenated products, 3-substituted 8-chloro-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-enes, bicyclic products with a halogen atom in an allyl position with respect to the double bond.
