The intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isovanillin derived N-aryl hydroxylamines possessing ortho-allylic dipolarophiles affords novel benzo analogues of tricyclic isoxazolidines that can be readily transformed into functionalized lactams, γ-aminoalcohols and oxazepines. The corresponding N-unsubstituted hydroxylamines give rise to tetrahydroisoquinolines. Anxiogenic properties of thes...

Acid treatment of densely substituted 2-silyl-1,2-dihydropyridines provides a new and convenient entry to reactive azomethine ylides that can (1) be protonated and reduced with high stereoselectivity to give piperidines, (2) participate in [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition to give tropanes, and (3) undergo a Nazarov-like 6-π electrocyclization that upon reduction give 2-azabicyclo[3.1.0] systems.

We have developed a versatile strategy to access dihydropyrazoles in highly enantioenriched form. Dipolar cycloaddition of electron-deficient acceptors and in situ-generated nitrile imines proceeds with high regio- and enantioselectivity using 10 mol % chiral Lewis acid catalyst. A variety of dihydropyrazoles that incorporate functionality for further manipulation have been prepared.

Aryl azides were treated with allenylmagnesium bromide to generate 1,5-disubstituted butynyl 1,2,3-triazoles in a domino fashion, which upon Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with aryl azides afforded novel bis-1,2,3-triazoles in quantitative yields. The final products were analyzed for their antimicrobial activities against a panel of bacterial and fungal strains which revealed the pro...

New compounds with the ethyl hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline-2-carboxylate skeleton were prepared by microwave-assisted intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The reactions were carried out under solvent-free conditions and compared with the same reaction in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst. Steric effects on the selectivity of the reaction were noted and evaluated.

The first investigation into two C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bonds of CO2 reacting in one reaction through dual 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of CO2 with isocyanides and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates has been reported. The reaction proceeded efficiently at 80 °C at a pressure of 1 atm of CO2, affording symmetric 1,6-dioxospiro[4,4]nonane-3,8-diene derivatives in moderate yields.

A facile synthesis of azabicycloadducts is described by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of thioisatin with thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid in the presence of various electron rich and electron deficient dipolarophiles. Theoritical calculations have been performed to study the regioselectivity of products. The geometrical and energetic properties have been analyzed for the different reactants...

The interface as a "screw clamp": the copper-free 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition at the interface of nanodroplets in miniemulsions was studied in detail by NMR spectroscopic methods. The reaction at the oil-water interface proved to exhibit higher rate constants, increased molecular weights and high regioregularity compared to the reaction in solution.

[structure: see text] The title compounds were synthesized by applying the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of aldehyde-based poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers and sarcosine (N-methylglycine) to [60]fullerene (C(60)). The dendritic building blocks used to functionalize C(60) displayed cubic and hexagonal columnar phases. The fullerene derivatives showed rectangular columnar phases of c2mm symmetry.

A new series of isoxazole tethered quinone-amino acid hybrids has been designed and synthesized involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction followed by an oxidation reaction using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). Using this method, for the first time various isoxazole tethered quinone-phenyl alanine and quinone-alanine hybrids were synthesized from simple commercially available 4-bromobenzyl bro...
