γ-Alkynyl oxime cyclization: an easy route to a new heteropolyring: 3a,8a-butano-3a,8a-dihydro-3H-benzo[4,5]furo[2,3-b]pyrrole-1-oxide

Abstract

Hydroxylamine reacts with 2-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-propynylcyclohexanone 1 and leads, not to the expected oxime, but to a N-hydroxyaminonitrone 5, according to a reverse-Cope or a 1,3-azaprotiocyclotransfer (APT) mechanism. The deprotection of the phenol functions by a AlCl3–Me2S mixture is accompanied by a cyclisation resulting from attack of the nitrone function, leading to new heteropolyrings 11 and 12, derived from 3a,8a-butanobenzo[4,5]furo[2,3-b]pyrrole. The mechanisms are discussed. Re′sume′. Cyclisation d'oximes γ-ace′tyle′niques: un accès facile à un nouvel he′te′rocycle polycondense′, le 3a, 8a-butano- 3a,8a-dihydro-3H-benzo[4,5]furo[2,3-b]pyrole-1-oxyde. L'hydroxylamine re′agit avec la 2-(2,3-dime′thoxyphe′nyl)- 2-propynylcyclohexanone 1 pour conduire non pas à l'oxime attendue, mais à une N-hydroxyaminonitrone 5 selon un me′canisme de type "‘reverse-Cope’' ou APT. La de′protection des fonctions phe′nol de ce de′rive′ par le me′lange AlCl3–Me2S s'accompagne d'une cyclisation par attaque de la fonction nitrone et permet d'obtenir facilement de nouveaux he′te′rocycles polycycliques 11 et 12, de′rive′s des 3a,8a-butanobenzo[4,5]furo[2,3-b]pyrroles.
