    Photosensitized oxidation of furans. Part 13. Trapping reactions of the carbonyl oxides obtained from some 2-methoxy-5-phenylfurans

    No full text
    The dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation in methanol of the 2-methoxy-5-phenylfurans (1a-c), unsubstituted at C-4 with electron-withdrawing groups, leads to the hemiperacetals (4a-c). The reaction provides the first incontrovertible evidence for carbonyl oxide intermediacy in sensitized photo-oxygenation of heterocyclic systems. Further supporting evidence is also reported. In polar non-participating solvents carbonyl oxides (5a-c) partly rearrange to the epoxides (7a-c)

    Photosensitized oxidation of furans. Part 14. Nature of intermediates in thermal rearrangement of some endo-peroxides of 2-alkoxyfurans: New rearrangement pathway of furan endo-peroxides

    2-Methoxy-5-phenylfurans (1a-c) substituted at C-4 with electron-withdrawing groups, by dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation in non-participating solvents, give the endo-peroxides (3a-c) which by thermal rearrangement partly yield the 3H-1,2-dioxoles (14a-c). The latter, which are the first examples of this ring system, are thermally very unstable. Their formation can be deduced only from the products obtained by thermal rearrangement which are structurally related with the thermal rearrangement products of 3H-1,2,4-dioxazoles (10). The behaviour of the furans (1a-c) contrasts with that of the 2-methoxy-5-phenylfurans unsubstituted at C-4 which under the same conditions give carbonyl oxides

    Photosensitized oxidation of furans. III. Comparison between photochemically and thermally generated singlet oxygen oxidation of 3‐methoxycarbonyl‐2‐methyl‐5‐phenylfuran

    Thermal conversion of furan endo‐peroxide I, obtained by photosensitized oxidation of furan II, yields very similar results to those of the oxidation of the furan II by thermally generated singlet oxygen, showing that also in the latter case the endo‐peroxide I is the key intermediate. A mechanistic interpretation of the furan II‐singlet oxygen reaction is reported. Copyright © 1981 Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistr

    Peroxidic intermediates in the photosensitized oxidation of 2-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole

    No full text
    Photosensitized oxygenation of 2-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole (1) at -15°C gives 2-hydroperoxy-2-methyl-4,5-diphenyl-2H-imidazole (2) which isomerizes into 4-hydroperoxy-2-methyl-4,5-diphenyl-4H-imidazole (4), probably via the endo-peroxide (7); compound (2) and its deoxygenation product (3) are the first 2-hydroperoxy- and 2-hydroxy-2H-imidazole to be reported

    Intermediates in the reaction of singlet oxygen with trisubstituted oxazoles

    No full text
    Trisubstituted oxazoles I react at −15° with singlet oxygen to give dioxazoles III and iminoanhydrides V which rearrange at room temperature to triamides VI. The intermediate ratio (III/V) is sensitive to the reaction temperature. It is likely that at room temperature triamides VI are essentially formed via imino‐anhydrides V.
