Periselectivity in the aza-Diels-Alder Cycloaddition between α-Oxoketenes and N-(5-Pyrazolyl)imines: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study.

The thermal 6π aza-Diels-Alder cycloadditions between α-oxoketenes, in situ derived from a thermally induced Wolff rearrangement of 2-diazo-1,3-diketones, and N-(5-pyrazolyl)imines as prototypical electron-rich 2-azadienes lead to two distinct sets of products, essentially as a function of the nature of the α-oxoketenes involved. For instance, cyclic five-membered α-oxoketenes lead preferentially to spiro hydropyridin-4-ones, which involves the α-oxoketenes as the 2π partners at their C═C double bond and the N-(5-pyrazolyl)imines as the 4π partners at their 2-azadiene moiety. In contrast, other cyclic and acyclic α-oxoketenes lead preferentially to 1,3-oxazin-4-ones, which now involves the α-oxoketenes as the 4π partners at their 1-oxadiene moiety and the N-(5-pyrazolyl)imines as the 2π partners at their C═N double bond. A computational modeling study using DFT methods allowed rationalizing this change of periselectivity: the formation of spiro hydropyridin-4-ones is under thermodynamic control while the formation of 1,3-oxazin-4-ones is kinetically controlled, and slightly thermodynamically disfavored in the five-membered ring series. The competing cyclodimerization of the α-oxoketenes is also studied in detail.

Crystal structure of ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(thio-phen-2-yl)acrylate: two conformers forming a discrete disorder.

In the title compound, C10H9NO2S, all the non-H atoms, except for the ethyl fragment, lie nearly in the same plane. Despite the mol-ecular planarity, the ethyl fragment presents more than one conformation, giving rise to a discrete disorder, which was modelled with two different crystallographic sites for the eth-oxy O and eth-oxy α-C atoms, with occupancy values of 0.5. In the crystal, the three-dimensional array is mainly directed by C-H⋯(O,N) inter-actions, giving rise to inversion dimers with R22(10) and R22(14) motifs and infinite chains running along the [100] direction.
