General description

Metal-catalyzed [6+3] cycloaddition of tropone with azomethine ylides has been reported.

Application

Tropone has been used in synthesis of:
  • bicyclic δ-lactones via heterocyclic carbine-catalyzed [8+3] annulation pathway
  • 6,7-benzobicyclo [3.2.2] nona-3,6,8-trien-2-one via thermal addition to bezyne

The mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction and toxicity induced by the tropolones, beta-thujaplicin (4-isopropyl tropolone), tropolone and tropone, has been studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. Incubation of hepatocytes with beta-thujaplicin (1-4 mM) elicited a concentration and time-dependent cell killing. The

Two tropone derivatives, orobanone (1), previously isolated from Orobanche rapum-genistae, and the new natural product pernambucone (3,8-dimethyl-5-isopropyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-azulene-1,6-dione, 2), were isolated from the sterm bark of Croton argyroglossum. The structures were elucidated from spectroscopic data.

A novel protocol for the annulation of tropone to enals involving nucleophilic heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed homoenolate formation has been developed. Interestingly, the reaction led to bicyclic delta-lactones instead of the expected gamma-spirolactones, presumably by the uncommon [8 + 3]

The carbocyclic core of CP-225,917 and CP-263,114 is accessible through the [6+4] cycloaddition of a tropone with a 2-substituted cyclopentadiene. Examination of this reaction has revealed for the first time that this cycloaddition process is catalyzed by Lewis acids, including

The cyanosubstituted trimethylenemethane donor undergoes palladium-catalyzed [6 + 3] cycloaddition with a variety of tropones to yield bicyclo[4.3.1]decadienes in excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Products of the Pd-TMM [6 + 3] cycloaddition participate in a thermal [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement to
