A reliable method for the synthesis of bis-spirocyclic derivatives of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes through the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions of cyclopropenes to the stable azomethine ylide - protonated form of Ruhemann's purple (PRP) has been developed. Both 3-substituted and 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes reacted with PRP, affording the corresponding bis-spirocyclic 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane cycloadducts in moderate to good yields with high diastereofacial selectivity. Moreover, several unstable 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropenes were successfully trapped by the stable 1,3-dipole under mild conditions. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reactions of cyclopropenes with PRP has been thoroughly studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods at the M11/cc-pVDZ level of theory. The cycloaddition reactions have been found to be HOMO-LUMO controlled while the transition-state energies for the reaction of 3-methyl-3-phenylcyclopropene with PRP are fully consistent with the experimentally observed stereoselectivity.
通过环丙烯与稳定的偶氮甲碱叶立德(鲁赫曼紫(PRP)的质子化形式)的1,3-偶极环加成(1,3-DC)反应合成3-氮杂双环[3.1.0]己烷双螺环衍生物的可靠方法已被开发出来。3-取代和3,3-二取代的环丙烯均与PRP反应,以中等至良好的产率和高非对映面选择性得到相应的双螺环3-氮杂双环[3.1.0]己烷环加成物。此外,几种不稳定的1,2-二取代环丙烯在温和条件下被稳定的1,3-偶极成功捕获。使用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法在M11/cc-pVDZ理论水平上对环丙烯与PRP的环加成反应机理进行了深入研究。已发现环加成反应是由最高占据分子轨道-最低未占据分子轨道(HOMO-LUMO)控制的,而3-甲基-3-苯基环丙烯与PRP反应的过渡态能量与实验观察到的立体选择性完全一致。
