Michael reactions of levoglucosenone and its α-bromo and α-iodo derivatives with α,ω-dinitroalkanes were studied under conditions of chemical and electrochemical generation of base. Procedures were developed for stereospecific fusion of a cyclopentane ring to α-bromo-and α-iodolevoglucosenones, 2-iodocyclopent-2-en-1-one, and 2-iodocyclohex-2-en-1-one by the action of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dinitropropane.II, X = Br; III, X = I. Levoglucosenone (I) is a strong Michael acceptor which is capable of promoting a series of transformations in reactions with nucleophiles to afford complex polycyclic products. An example of such tandem processes is the reaction of levoglucosenone with nitromethane. Depending on the conditions and reactant ratio, this reaction could result in formation of Michael, Michael-Henry, or Michael-Michael-Henry adducts [1]. Reactions of levoglucosenone (I) with difunctional nitro compounds such as dinitromethane and 1,3-dinitro-2-phenylpropane were studied under conditions of electrochemical generation of base [2, 3]. In the latter case, tandem Michael-Henry reaction results in fusion of a cyclohexane ring at the C 2 and C 4 atoms of levoglucosenone. We have found no published data on reactions of levoglucosenone and its α-halo-substituted derivatives with other dinitro compounds in the presence of bases. Presumably, this process is complicated due to high rate of concurrent self-condensation of levoglucosenone, which leads to oligomeric products [4].While developing our early studies on transformations of α-halolevoglucosenones by the action of nucleophiles [5], we performed a series of experiments with a view to estimate the possibility for annulation at the C 3 and C 4 atoms with α,ω-dinitroalkanes and some difunctional nitro compounds. The required dinitroalkanes were synthesized as follows: 1,3-dinitropropane was prepared according to Meyer [6,7], 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dinitropropane was synthesized from nitromethane and acetone as described in [8], 1,4-dinitrobutane and 1,5-dinitropentane were obtained by acid cleavage of α,α′-dinitrocyclopentanone and α,α′-dinitrocyclohexanone, respectively [9, 10], and 1,4-dinitro-
2,2-Bis(nitromethyl)decane and 4-methyl-2,2-bis(nitromethyl)pentane reacted with α-bromolevoglucosenone in the presence of a base under ultrasonic treatment to give the corresponding cyclopenta-fused derivatives. Analogous reactions of 1,1-bis(nitromethyl)cycloalkanes with α-bromolevoglucosenone afforded spiro compounds.Reactions of α-bromo and α-iodo derivatives of conjugated enones with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dinitropropane lead to the formation of 2,3-cyclopentaannulation products containing a nitro group and geminal methyl groups in the cyclopentane fragment [1, 2]. Our attempts to obtain analogous products by treatment of α-bromolevoglucosenone with monosubstituted dinitro compounds or those having no other substituents than nitro groups were unsuccessful [3]. Nevertheless, with a view to extend the scope of application of this transformation, cyclopentaannulation of α-halo-substituted levoglucosenones can be achieved using other 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-dinitropropanes.By reacting the corresponding ketones with nitromethane in diethylamine we synthesized 2,2-bis(nitromethyl)decane, 4-methyl-2,2-bis(nitromethyl)pentane, 1,1-bis(nitromethyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(nitromethyl)-cyclopentane, and 1,1-bis(nitromethyl)cyclododecane [4]. Ultrasonic treatment of a solution of α-bromolevoglucosenone and 2,2-bis(nitromethyl)decane in toluene in the presence of potassium carbonate and a catalytic amount of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 afforded stereoisomeric tricyclic 3,4-cyclopentaannulation products IIa and IIb. Analogous reaction with 4-methyl-2,2-bis-(nitromethyl)pentane gave a mixture of epimers IIIa and IIIb (Scheme 1).The formation of diastereoisomers IIa/IIb and IIIa/IIIb suggests intermediacy of 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-dinitropropane dianions [2]; their addition to α-bromolevoglucosenone is influenced by steric interactions between the 1,6-anhydro bridge in the substrate and geminal substituents in the reagent. Unsuccessful cyclopentaannulation of α-halolevoglucosenone may be rationalized in terms of the possibility for charge delocalization in carbanions derived from 1,3-dinitro derivatives having no geminal substituents. Unlike isomer mixture IIIa/IIIb which was difficult to separate, epimers IIa and IIb can be readily separated by chromatography on silica gel. The reaction of α-bromolevoglucosenone (I) with cyclic dinitropropanes resulted in the formation of spiro compounds IV-VI in high yield (Scheme 1).The structure of compounds II-VI and configuration of new chiral centers therein were determined by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, including HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY experiments performed with compounds IIa and IIb. In the 1 H NMR spectrum of isomer IIa the 2-H signal appeared as a doublet of doublets at δ 3.74 ppm ( 3 J 2, 3 = 9.9, 4 J 2, 5 = 2.7 Hz), and the 3-H proton resonated as a doublet at δ 4.91 ppm ( 3 J 2, 3 = 9.9 Hz). The corresponding couplings were confirmed by correlations observed in the HH COSY spectrum. The large value of 3 J 2, 3 (9.9 Hz) indicated trans orientation of 2-H and 3-H; taking into account the lac...
