Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones by Manganese(III) Oxidation in Ethanol
Publication History
Publication Date:

Abstract
N-Propenyl-3-oxobutanamides underwent the manganese(III)-induced oxidative intramolecular cyclization in ethanol to produce 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones in good yields. A similar reaction of propenyl 3-oxobutanoates and S-propenyl 3-oxobutanethioates also gave the corresponding 3-oxa- and 3-thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones. The reaction details, the structure determination, and the reaction pathway are described.
Key words

Actually, it is known that the Mn(OAc)3 consists of an oxygen-centered trinuclear complex, which is relatively stable in AcOH. However, when the oxidation was conducted in other solvents, such as EtOH, the trinuclear structure of Mn(III) might be deformed and the oxidizing ability weakened.

The oxidation of 1l,m only with Mn(OAc)3 gave 2l,m in 60, 48, and 37% yield, respectively. Compare these with the yields described in Table [¹] , entries 15-17.
15The most stable conformation of 3,4-trans-pyrrolidinone 3a was calculated to be -310.0 kJ/mol by Spartan ’06 based on the PM3 parameter. The calculated dihedral angle between H-3 and H-4 was 128.9˚. On the other hand, the 3,4-cis 3a was -293.1 kJ/mol and the dihedral angle was 27.3˚.
