Learning Outcomes After studying this module, you shall be able to • Know what are sigmatropic rearrangements • Learn mechanism of Claisen, Cope and aza-Cope rearrangements • Identify stereochemistry of Claisen and Cope rearrangements • Evaluate variation of Cope rearrangements (aza Cope and Oxy Cope rearrangements) • Analyze and appreciate synthetic utility of [3, 3] sigmatropic shifts in synthesis 2. Introduction Sigmatropic rearrangements are pericyclic reactions defined by the migration of a σ bond adjacent to one or more π systems, with the π systems becoming reorganized in the process. In the reaction the total number of σ or π-bonds does not change as the reactant and the product have the same number of bonds. These reactions are intra-molecular in nature and generally do not require a catalyst for their completion. Sigmatropic rearrangements are classified based on an order which is expressed by a set of two digits in brackets: [i, j], these numbers are determined by counting the atoms over which each end of the σ bond has moved. Each of the original termini is given the number. The aliphatic Claisen Rearrangement and Cope rearrangement are [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangements. The common feature of all [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangements is a six-member transition state with a delocalized electronic structure. In Claisen rearrangement an allyl vinyl ether is converted thermally to an unsaturated carbonyl compound, while in Cope rearrangement a 1, 5-diene is rearranged or isomerizes. These rearrangements usually require high temperatures (100-350°C), although examples of catalytic syntheses are also known. For these reactions the feasibility of reactions due to stereochemical constrains is governed by the total number of π electrons present in the substrate. If the total number of π electrons is (4n+2) than suprafacial pathway is allowed and if the total number of π electrons is 4n, than antarafacial pathway is allowed. 3. Claisen rearrangement Claisen rearrangement was discovered in 1912 and is the first known example of a [3, 3]- sigmatropic rearrangement. The reaction is an important method for carbon-carbon bond- formation and is of significant synthetic value. An example of aliphatic Claisen rearrangement where a substituted allyl vinyl ether undergoes [3, 3] sigmatropic shift to give a ketone product is shown below. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 1' 2 O O 2' 3 R1 3' R1 R R2 2 The rearrangements are stereo selective in nature. Stereo selectivity arises when there is a substituent on the saturated carbon atom next to the oxygen atom. The geometry of the resulting double bond strongly favors the trans (E) configuration owning to the preference of the substituent to occupy an equatorial position on the chair transition state as shown below; R R Trans (E) configuration O O 3, 3 The aromatic Claisen rearrangement reaction was originally discovered by heating up a sample of allyl phenyl ether. The product has the allyl group shifted to the ortho position of the phenol. The intermediate is thought to be the keto form of the substituted phenol. This tautomerizes to phenol to restore the aromaticity of the ring. Retro-Claisen rearrangements are known in aromatic substrates. The mechanism of retro ortho rearrangement was established based on 14C labeling of substrate, this way even without a substitution the mechanism was established unambiguously. The Claisen rearrangement usually prefers a chair-like transition state. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the ortho positions have no hydrogen, a second [3, 3]-sigmatropic migration (a Cope reaction) follows whereby, the migrating group is restored to its original structure. For Claisen rearrangement, electron-donating groups increase the rate of reaction and electron withdrawing groups decrease it. For e.g. the p-amino (electron donating) compound reacts 10-20 times faster than the p-nitro (electron withdrawing) compound. Lewis acids such as AlCl3 and BF3 are known to enhance rate of reactions and lower the temperature required to bring about the transformations. The nature of solvent has also been shown to influence rate of rearrangement, where up to 300- fold change in rates were observed when same reaction was run under different solvents. With trifluoroethanol, the rearrangement goes even at room temperature. Terpenoids are among the group of important molecules that are obtained using Claisen rearrangement. Following are examples of Claisen rearrangements, where some important molecules such as fragrant compounds are obtained. In another reaction, the isoprenoid skeleton was obtained using Claisen rearrangement. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Synthetic example of Claisen rearrangement Ireland-Claisen Rearrangement This is a variant of the Claisen rearrangement where, allyl ester of a carboxylic acid undergoes the rearrangement instead of allyl vinyl ether. In the reaction the ester is first converted into silyl stabilized enolate, which further rearranges at temperatures below 100 °C. As a result of this rearrangement carboxylic acid is formed as a product. The Ireland-Claisen Rearrangement thus offers ready access to chain-extended carboxylic acids. 4. Cope and aza Cope rearrangements Cope rearrangement: The Cope rearrangement is a well known reaction involving the [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement of 1, 5-dienes. These rearrangements can be performed thermally or photochemically. The Cope rearrangement of dienes has found utility in a number of regioselective and stereoselective syntheses of open ring systems. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 1 3 1' 3' 2' 2 1 3 3' 1' 2' 2 1 3 CH2OH CH2OH 3' 1' 2' When the diene is symmetrical the reaction gives a product identical with the starting material (as shown for 1, 5-hexatriene above). Another example is bullvalene which undergoes multiple degenerate Cope rearrangements and still retains the same structure due to fluxional nature of the molecule. In bullvalene, the Cope rearrangement changes the position of the cyclopropane ring from 4,5,10 to 1,7,8. But the molecule could also have undergone rearrangements to put this ring at 1,2,8 or 1,2,7 position. Any of these could then undergo several different Cope rearrangements and yet do not change the fundamental structure of bullvalene. This reaction has referred as infinitely degenerate Cope rearrangement. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A reverse aromatic Cope rearrangement of 2-allyl-3-alkylideneindolines obtained by Horner- Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of 2-allylindolin-3-ones with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate provided α-allyl-3-indole acetonitriles. Following are some more examples of Cope rearrangement reactions. In the first example, an unusual Cope rearrangement leads to formation of a nine member cyclic ring. The Cope rearrangement has been utilized to obtain sesquiterpene such as elemol, which is an essential component of galbanum oil, and many others Aza-Cope rearrangement Similar to the Cope rearrangement, the aza-Cope rearrangements are [3, 3] sigmatropic shifts that are essentially heteroatom versions of the Cope rearrangement, where the rearrangement shifts single and double bonds between two allylic components. The thermal aza-Cope rearrangement CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9 : Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No. 33: Cope, Claisen and aza-Cope rearrangements ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ proceeds suprafacially as predicted by Woodward-Hoffman rules In aza-Cope rearrangement numbering is based on the location of the nitrogen atom in the molecule. Due to the presence of charged nitrogen atom and thermo neutrality, cationic 2-aza-Cope rearrangements take place at temperatures 100-200 °C lower than the corresponding Cope rearrangement. This is due to the presence of the charged heteroatom in the molecule which drops the activation barrier for the reaction. Compared to cationic 2-aza Cope rearrangement,

In this work, we measure time-resolved vibration spectra of the Claisen rearrangement triggered and observed by few-optical-cycle pulses. Changes in molecular structure during the reaction, including its transition states (TSs), are elucidated by observ- ing the transient changes of molecular vibration wavenumbers. We pump samples with visi- ble ultrashort pulses of shorter duration than the molecular vibration period, and with photon energies much lower than the minimum excitation energy of the sample. The results indicate that the “nonthermal Claisen rearrangement” can be triggered by visible few-optical-cycle pulses exciting molecular vibrations in the electronic ground state of the sample, which replaces the typical thermal Claisen rearrangement.

  • Rearrangement Reactions
    Rearrangement Reactions A rearrangement reaction is a broad class of organic reactions where the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule. 1, 2-Rearrangements A 1, 2-rearrangement is an organic reaction where a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in a chemical compound. In a 1, 2 shift the movement involves two adjacent atoms but moves over larger distances are possible. In general straight-chain alkanes, are converted to branched isomers by heating in the presence of a catalyst. Examples include isomerisation of n-butane to isobutane and pentane to isopentane. Highly branched alkanes have favorable combustion characteristics for internal combustion engines. Further examples are the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement: and the Beckmann rearrangement, which is relevant to the production of certain nylons: Pericyclic reactions A pericyclic reaction is a type of reaction with multiple carbon-carbon bonds making and breaking wherein the transition state of the molecule has a cyclic geometry and the reaction progresses in a concerted fashion. Examples are hydride shifts [email protected] and the Claisen rearrangement: Olefin metathesis Olefin metathesis is a formal exchange of the alkylidene fragments in two alkenes. It is a catalytic reaction with carbene, or more accurately, transition metal carbene complexintermediates. In this example (ethenolysis, a pair of vinyl compounds form a new symmetrical alkene with expulsion of ethylene. Pinacol rearrangement The pinacol–pinacolone rearrangement is a method for converting a 1,2-diol to a carbonyl compound in organic chemistry. The 1,2-rearrangement takes place under acidic conditions.

D. Stanley Tarbell (22, p.497) sug:ested that the rearrangement to the para position involved a dissociation of the allyl group, either as an ion or a radical, although he mentions that serious objections can be raised to both. liurd and Pollack (10, p.550) have suggested that rearrange- ment to the para position might go by two steps: first, a shift of the allyl group to the ortho position with inver- sion, as described for the ortho rearrangement, followed by another shift to the para position with inversion. Very recently, in view of new data presented, there has been a tendency to accept this mechanism. In this mochanism,first postulated by Hurd and Pollack (lo, p.550), the intermediate formed in the first step would be a dienone, III.

They can be obtained by derivatisation reactions starting from chiral molecules such as L-proline and 2S,4R-4-hydroxyproline or by metal catalysed cyclisation reactions of N- substituted allenic amines.66 Since large amounts of vinyl pyrrolidines have to be synthetically available for the systematic examination of the aza-Claisen rearrangement and its application in a total synthesis, especially the ex-chiral pool synthesis of these precursors has been extensively investigated by our group.67 The following two schemes represent the synthesis of the vinyl pyrrolidines [6] and [11] that have been used in this work as precursors for the aza-Claisen rearrangement.
