■ Saturated Heterocycles. Part 31. Synthesis and Conformational Studies of 2-Oxo- and 2-Thiotetrahydro-1,3-oxazines with Condensed Skeletons

Abstract
Stereoisomeric 2-oxo- and 2-thio-4,5- (and 5,6)-tetramethylenetetrahydro-1,3-oxazines (2 and 4) have been synthesized. 1H nmr spectra afford evidence that in the cese of the cis isomers of derivatives 2, prepared from 2-(aminomethyl)cyclohexanols, the O-inside conformer predominates, independently of the N-substituent (R = H, CH3); in derivatives 4, made from 2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylamines, the N-inside conformer predominates if R = H, while the N-outside conformer does so when R = CH3.

Abstract
The reaction of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-azepine (1) with 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone at room temperature afforded a [6+4] type cycloadduct 3 as a major product in addition to two [4+2] type cycloadducts 4 and 5. Upon heating, 3 rearranged to 5 in a fairly good yield. In the same reaction with 1-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-1,2-diazepine (2), a [4+2] type cycloadduct 6 was formed. The low electron density at the 2 and 7 positions of 1 is considered to be one reason for the formation of the [6+4] type cycloadduct 3.

*Guelph-Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3G1, Canada
Abstract
Benzyl 6-β-[bistrifluoromethanesulfonyl]amidopenicillanate, 4, was prepared by reaction of benzyl 6-β-aminopenicillanate, 3, with two equivalents of trifluoromethane sulfonic anhydride. In the presence of aqueous base 4 undergoes detriflation to yield 7 and in the presence of basic methanol 4 yields the α-methoxymonotriflamide 6. The free acid 5 obtained by hydrogenolysis of 4 has β-lactamase inhibitory properties.

*Department of Chemistry, University of Tsukubaa, 1-1-1 Ten-nodai, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki, 305-8571, Japan
Abstract
The Grignard reaction of β-(N-alkyl-N-acylamino)enones afforded regioselectively α,β-unsaturated β-(N-alkyl-N-acylamino)alcohols, which were converted into α,β-unsaturated ketones by hydrolysis accompanying dehydration. The resulting α,β-unsaturated ketones were regioisomeric with α,β-unsaturated ketones derived from β-(N,N-dialkylamino)enones by the Grignard reaction.

■ Revised Structure of Physoperuvine, an Alkaloid of Physalis peruviana Roots

*Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221 005, India
Abstract
The previously reported physoperuvine, an alkaloid isolated from the roots of Physalis peruviana, has been found to be a hydrochloride and its structure has been settled as 3 by X-ray analysis. The forms of existence of physoperuvine, a free base, and its hydrochloride have been studied, revealing that while the salt remains exclusively in the amino-alcohol form (3), the free base is an equilibrium mixture of the amino-alcohol (1) and the amino-ketone (2), the equilibrium being shifted toward the former.

■ Correlation od Singlet-Triplet Transitions of π-Electron Heterocycles with the HMO N→V1 Energies
Cyril Párkányi
*Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, Texaz 79968-0513, U.S.A.
Abstract
The wavenumbers of the O-O bands in the phosphorescence spectra of pyridine-like heterocycles and/or the corresponding bands in their S→T absorption spectra are linearly correlated with the HMO N→V1 transition energies, i. e., the transition energies from the highest occupied π-molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied π-molecular orbital. A similar relationship has been established in the case of thiophene-like heterocycles.

*Research Foundation Itsuu Laboratory, 2-28-10 Tamagawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 158, Japan
Abstract
Total syntheses of the title compounds (4 and 5) were achieved in a regio- and stereoselective fashion via 13, 15, 17, 18, 22, and 34, starting from the compound (8) obtained by the SnCl2 effected reaction of an endo-peroxide derived from 7. Treatment of an amino-aldehyde derivative such as 23 in a basic condition furnished the preferential conversion of 2,6-cis-dialkylpiperidines into 2,6-trans derivatives through retro Michael intermediates.

*Tohoku Pharmaceutical University, 4-4-1 Komatsushima, Aoba-ku, Sendai 981-8558, Japan
Abstract
The 13C NMR spectra of 5 or 6-cyano- and carboxy-2-methyl-3-oxo-2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ens have been studied in the presence of Ni(acac)2. The calculated contact shifts have been compared to experimental ones. According to NMR evidence the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are preferentially anti relative to the double band - showing some n-π nonbonded interaction. The simulation of the shift reagent experiment program, SIMULATION, written in APL, is used in this calculation.

Abstract
The bromodioxolane and its analogs (1-5) were treated with organic base (DBU, DBN, or morpholine), acid (p-toluenesulfonic acid or Lewis acid), or Lewis acid/tertiary amine, and yielded 4-alkoxyindoles (6-17). Reaction of 1 with organic base gave two isomeric 4-alkoxyindoles, 6 (tosylpindolol, a secondary alcohol) and 11 (a primary alcohol), while tri-n-octylamine with stannic chloride afforded 6 (74 %) without producing 11.
