CHAPTER 3
DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION OFpara-QUINONES AND
para-QUINONEIMIDES WITH CARBONYL YLIDES
3.1. INTRODUCTION
l,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reaction has emerged as a very powerful tool
for the construction of heterocyclic compounds. This general concept was
developed by the monumental effort of Huisgen and co-workers.' 1,3-Dipolar
reactions are bimolecular in nature and involve the addition of a 1,3-dipole to a
multiple ir-bond system leading to five-membered heterocycles (Figure 1).
Many 1,3-dipoles are readily available and react with a variety of dipolarophiles
in highly regio and stereoselective manner.2 This has been used to advantage in
the synthesis of many natural products.3 In recent years there has been a
growing interest in the use of carbonyl ylides as 1,3-dipoles in total synthesis.4
The dipolar cycloaddition of these species to alkenic, alkynic and hetero
multiple bonds affords structurally complex heterocyclic compounds in single
step, often in excellent yields.
Figure 1
Several methods are available for the generation of carbonyl ylides.
These include the thermal and photochemical opening of oxiranes5 (often
containing electron-attracting groups), the thermal fragmentation of certain
heterocyclic structures such as A~-1.3.4-oxadiazolines6 or 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones
(Scheme 1)' and the reaction of carbenes and carbenoids with carbonyl
Chapter 3 110
derivatives (Scheme 2).' Recent developments show that carbonyl ylides can be
generated reductively from a, a'-dihaloethers using M ~ I P ~ C I ~ ~ or Sm(0)/12. 10
Scheme 1
Scheme 2
The intramolecular reaction of carbenes with neighboring carbonyl group
results in the formation of cyclic carbonyl ylides.LL This approach, pioneered by
Ibata and co-workers, allows for the convenient generation of various five- and
six-membered carbonyl ylides, which can be trapped by z-bonds. Generation of
the carbene center involves treating a diazocompound with an appropriate
transition metal catalyst. In this regard, Rh(I1) carbenoids deserve special
mention as they give consistently high yields of the cycloadduct (Figure 2)12.
Figure 2
This tandem cyclization-cycloaddition of rhodium carbenoids, a
methodology developed by Padwa, has been employed in the construction of a
variety of' heterocycles. Some of' the important examples are given in the
following sections
Carbonyl ylide generated from o-(alkoxy carbony1)-a-diazoacetophenone
is readily trapped by various dipolarophiles such as benzaldehyde, dimethyl
acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or N-phenylmaleimide to afford the corresponding
cycloadducts (Scheme 3).13

Scheme 3
This methodology works equally well in intramolecular cases also. Thus
the intramolecular trapping of the carbonyl ylide formed by the decomposition
of the diazoketone I afforded 8-ethoxy-1-methyl-9-oxatricyclo[3.2.1.l]nonan-2-
one as the major product.14 Here the initially formed carbonyl ylide adds to the
tethered olefin to yield the cycloadduct (Scheme 4). r 7
Scheme 4
Tandem cyclization-cycloaddition of rhodium carbenoids has been
employed as the key step in several natural product synthesis. For example, the
key intermediate 11 in the synthesis of the sesquiterpene (+)-Illudin-M is
prepared using this methodology as illustrated in Scheme 5.15
illudin M
Scheme 5
Limited efforts have been made to trap carbonyl ylides, formed by the
Padwa protocol, with aza dipolarophiles. In an early report, the carbonyl ylide
formed from the diazoketone 111 is trapped with Mander's reagent to afford the
corresponding cycloadduct (Scheme 6).16
Scheme 6
In a related report, irnines are used as dipolarophiles to trap carbonyl
ylides generated in situ from 1V (Scheme 7)."

As far as the addition of carbonyl ylides to diones and quinones are
concerned, only scant reports are available in the literature. Earlier
investigations carried out in our own laboratory have established that cyclic
carbonyl ylides, five- and six-membered, generated by the Padwa protocol add to
o-quinones (Scheme 8).lX The spiroheterocycle so formed undergoes a number
of interesting synthetic transformation^.'^
Scheme 8
o-Quinones proved to be efficient traps even for the seven membered
carbonyl ylide dipoles (Scheme 9).'* This is remarkable, in view of the fact that
in this case insertion of the solvent to the initially formed carbenoid competes
successfully with the cyclization of the latter to seven membered ylide.
Scheme 9
Isatin and its derivatives can act as dipolarophiles towards the addition of
carbonyl ylides as illustrated in the following However, in this case
five- and six-membered ylides gave the desired cycloadduct while seven
membered ylide failed to afford any product.
Scheme 10
3.1.1. Present study
It is worth mentioning that even though carbonyl ylides generated by
Padwa protocol have been added to a variety of dipolarophiles both
intermolecularly and intramolecularly, their addition to quinonoid compounds
has not been investigated. Results from our own group indicated that 1,2-diones
and o-benzoquinones act as efficient dipolarophiles towards carbonyl ylides.
Therefore we tried to explore the scope of this process by employing 1,4-
quir~ones as the trap. I he study was then expatiated to p-quinoneimides also.
Additional impetus came from the fact that efforts to add carbonyl ylide dipoles
to aza dipolarophiles have been scant. It is also noteworthy that p-
quinoneimides are rather underexplored systems compared to p-quinones
especially with regard to dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The quinonoid
compounds chosen and the carbonyl ylide precursors employed in the current
study are depicted in Figure 3 and Figure 4 respectively.

3.2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.2.1. Reaction of carbonyl ylides withp-quinones
In the initial experiment, p-benzoquinone was treated with the carbonyl
ylide precursor 4a in presence of 2 mol% of ~ ( O A C ) ~ in benzene at room
temperature. The carbonyl ylide, formed in situ, added to C=O moiety of p-
quinone affording the cycloadduct 6a in good yields (Scheme 11).

Scheme 11
The structure of the adduct was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic
analysis. In the IR spectrum, band due to keto carbonyl of 6a was seen at 1726
cm-' while the quinone carbonyl absorption occurred at 1684 cm-I. In 'H NMR,
the bridgehead proton characteristically resonated at 64.44. The two methylene
groups present in the molecule gave separate multiplets centered at 62.72 and 6
2.49. The signals due to the protons of the dienone moiety were seen at 66.79,
6.62, 6.37 and 5.15 as doublets while the aromatic protons were discernible as
two separate rnultiplets centered at 67.59 and 7.41. In I3c the bridgehead
methine carbon gave signal at 6 77.32 while the acetal carbon at the bridgehead
was discernible at 1 10.67 The characteristic signal due to the spiro carbon was
visible at 6 86.83. 'The signal due to the keto carbonyl materialised at 6202.48
while that of dienone carbonyl was present at 6 183.85. All the other signals
were in agreement with the structure assigned. The compound also afforded
satisfactory elemental analysis.

In the IR spectrum of 6b, characteristic absorptions for the keto and
dienone carbonyls were observed at 1728 cm-' and 1686 cm-'. The resonance
signal due to the bridgehead proton was discernible at 6 4.28 in 'H NMR
spectrum. In I3c NMK spectrum, characteristic signals due to the spiro carbon
and bridgehead methine carbon were seen at 6 86.45 and 77.14 respectively.
The carbonyl resonances were observed at 6202.98 and 183.78.
Carbonyl ylide generated h m precursor 4c also added in a similar way to
phmquinone aEord'ig the corresponding spiro bicyclic compound 6c in good yield
(Scheme 13).
i) Rhz(OAc)4, benzene, rt, Ar, 45 min., 61%
Scheme 13
Ln the 1R spectrum of 6c, the characteristic keto and dienone carbonyls
were observed at 1728 and 1685 cm-' respectively. In 'H NMR, the signal at 6
4.32 was typical of the bridgehead proton present in 6c. In the I3c NMR
spectrum, the two carbonyl absorptions were visible at 6 202.28 and 181.46
while the signal due to the spiro carbon was discernible at 686.91.
We then employed 25-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone in this reaction. Thus
with the diazo compound 4a, 2,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone afforded the
analogous product in good yield (Scheme 14).
i) Rh2(0Ac)4, benzene, rt, Ar, 45 min., 72%
Scheme 14
In the IR spectrum, the absorptions due to keto and dienone carbonyls
were observed at 1731 and 1682 cm-I respectively. In 'H NMR, the bridgehead
proton was discernible at 6 4.41. The two protons in the dienone moiety gave
signals at 6 6.36 and 5.99 whereas peaks due to methyl groups were seen at 6
1.91 and 1.75, as singlets. In "C NMR spectrum, the carbonyl resonances were
discernible at 6 202.41 and 18 1.37. 'The peak at 6 85.81 was typical of the spiro
carbon present in 7a. Signal corresponding to the bridgehead methine carbon
was seen at 677.81 while the other bridgehead carbon (acetal) displayed signal
at 6 110.83. All other signals'were in accordance with the structure proposed.
To establish the stereochemistry of the adduct, we resorted to nOe
difference NMR spectroscopy. In the nOe difference spectrum, the proton at 6
6.36 showed 6% enhancement when the proton at the bridgehead at 64.41 was
irradiated while the signal at 6 5.99 showed little enhancement. To reaffirm the
proposed stereochemistry, the signal at 6 5.99 was irradiated when only the
methyl protons appearing at 6 1.75 showed enhancement, with the signal at 6
4.41 remaining unaffected. These results indicated that the proton at 66.36 is in
closer proximity to the bridgehead proton than the proton coming at 65.99.
Analogous reactivity was observed when the carbonyl ylide precursor 4b
was employed in the reaction (Scheme 15).

Here again, the characterization of the product was effected by
spectroscopic analysis. The absorptions at 1729 cm-' and 1682 cm-' in IR
spectrum were indicative of the keto and dienone carbonyls present in 7b. In 'H
Nh.IR, typical signal due to the bridgehead proton was visible at 6 4.39. The
dienone protons were discernible at 6 6.41 and 5.96 as singlets. The signals due
to three methyl groups were observed at 6 1.94, 1.76 and 1.71 as singlets. In I3c NMR, the signal at 6 86.4'7 was typical of the spiro center present in the
molecule. The signals at 6 110.35 and 77.43 were attributed to the resonances of
the bridgehead carbons. The carbonyl groups were discernible at 6 203.82 and
182.58. All other peaks were in ag~eement with the structure assigned.
The thiophene-derived carbonyl ylide precursor 4c also reacted in a
similar manner affording the corresponding product in good yield (Scheme 16).
1) Rhz(OAc)d, benzene, rt, Ar, 45 min., 65%
Scheme 16
In this case also, all the spectra were in agreement with the structure
proposed. Absorptions at 1731 cm-' and 1684 cms' in the vibrational spectrum
were typical of the keto and dienone carbonyl stretchings. In 'H NMR, signal
due to bridgehead proton was discernible at 6 4.34 as a singlet. The keto
carbonyl and dienone carbonyl present in 7c gave signals at 6 203.41 and
182.35 in ' 3 ~ NMR spectrum. Signal due to spiro carbon was discernible at 6
78.63 while the bridgehead methine carbon resonated at 6 87.91. All other peaks
also agreed well with the structure assigned.
3.2.2. Reaction of carbonyl ylides withp-quinoneimides
We then extended our studies to include p-quinoneimides, a much less
studied class of quinonoid compounds. Thus 2,5-dimethyl-p-quinoneimide 2a
when treated with five-membered cyclic carbonyl ylide precursor 3 in presence
of 2 mol% of Rhz(OAc), in benzene afforded the cycloadduct 8 in good yield.
In this case, the carbonyl ylide generated in situ added to C=C bond of the
quinoneimide (Scheme 1 7).

I ) Rh2(0Ac),,, benzene, rt, 30 rnin., 75%
Scheme 17
The structure of the adduct was established on the basis of spectroscopic
analysis. In the IK spectrum, absorption due to the carbonyl group present in 8
was seen at 1733 cm-I. The band at 1579 cm-' corresponded to the C=N
vibrations. In 'H NMR spectrum, signal due to angular proton in the adduct was
discernible at 6 4.41 as a singlet while signal corresponding to bridgehead
proton was present at ti 4.37. The angular methyl group gave signal at 6 2.18
while the bridgehead methyl group displayed signal at 6 1.38, both as singlets.
The signal due to alkene proton of 8 appeared together with four of the aromatic
protons as a multiplet centered at 6 7.95, while the rest of the aromatic protons
gave another multiplet centered at 6 7.60. The protons of the cyc,lopropyl ring
gave three multiplets, one centered at 6 1.46, another at 6 1.33 and yet another
at 6 1.15. In "C NMR spectrum. the signal at 6 208.68 corresponded to
carbonyl resonance. Two imine carbons were discernible at 6 176.85 and
176.46. The methine carbon atom at the bridgehead manifested signal at 690.1 1
while signal due to other bridgehead carbon was observed at 6 89.93. The
signals at 6 58.92 and 54.12 were due to the resonance of the carbon atoms at
the [6,6] fusion. Spiro carbon in the cyclopropyl group was discernible at 6
42.48 while the three methyl groups present in the molecule gave signals at 6
21.42, 19.34 and 15.56. Signals due to cyclopropyl carbon resonances were
observed at 15.41 and 12.72.

To establish the structure with c o ~ ~ e c t stereochemistry, we resorted to
NOESY analysis (Figure 9). In the NOESY spectrum, strong cross peaks
occurred between H-6 and Me-14 protons and between H-l l and Me-13
protons. Cross peaks were also discernible between H-4 and Me-14 protons and
H-6 and Me-13 protons. ofbelt, with low intensity. These results suggested that
both Me-14 and H-6 protons occupied endo position of the bicyclic core.
Figure 9: NOESY spectrum of 8
Further support for these results came from nOe difference analysis
(Figure 10). The signal due to H-4 (6 4.39) showed 2% enhancement on
irradiating Me-14 protons Similarly. 1% enhancement for H-6 signal occurred
when Me-13 protons were irradiated l'hese rather low values for signal
enhancement are typlcal of exo isomer In the case of endo isomer, one would
expect the correspond~ng signal enhancement in the range 5-7%.

Similar reactivity was observed with ring unsubstituted p-quinoneimide
also. In this case, the initially formed cycloadduct tautomerised to the
corresponding aromatic compound (Scheme 16).

As usual, the structure assignment for the compound 9 is based on
spectroscopic data. The band due to NH absorption was seen at 3336 cm-' in IR
spectrum while the band at 1732 was attributed to the carbonyl group present in
9. In IH NMR, characteristic signal due to the bridgehead proton was seen at 6
4.73 as a singlet while protons in the cyclopropyl ring gave three multiplets
centered at S 1.55, 1.25 and 1.04. In 13c NMR spectrum, the carbonyl signal

was discernible at b 204.32. The resonance due to bridgehead methine carbon
was observed ar b 90 87 while the other bridgehead carbon gave signal at 6
86.91. The cyclopropyl fused spirocarbon resonated at 6 42.48 while the other
cyclopropyl carbons were d~scernible at 6 15.47 and 12.38.
The same reactlon proceeded equally well with six-membered cyclic
carbonyl ylides also. Diazo compound 4a reacted with 2,5-dimethyl-p-
benzoquinone dibenzenesulfonimide under Rh(I1) catalysis affording the
analogous product IOa in good yield (Scheme 19).

In the IR spectrum, the absorption bands at 1734 cm-' and 1581 cm-'
indicated the presence of keto and imido functionalities in 10a. In 'H N m the
bridgehead proton was discernible as a singlet at 6 4.72 while signal due to
angular proton was seen at 6 4.87. The "C NMR spectrum of 10a agreed well
with the structure proposed. Resonance due to carbonyl carbon was observed at
6 204.52 while the two inlido carbon signals were observable at 6 177.25 and
176.56. The bridgehead methine carbon gave signal at 6 90.96 while the
quaternary carbon at the bridgehead was discernible at 87.01. The signal due to
the two ring junct~on carbon atoms were seen at 659.44 and 58.68.
Diazo compound 4b derived from levulinic acid also behaved in a similar
manner. Here again, the six-membered carbonyl ylide, formed in situ from 4b,
added to C=C of the quinoneimide moiety (Scheme 20).
angular and bridgehead protons were discemible at 6 4.91 and 4.66 as singlets
while methyl groups presenl in 1Oc gave two singlets at 6 1.44 and 1.34. In I3c NMR spectrum, resonance due to the carbonyl group was observed at 6203.43
while the imido group signals were discemible at 6 177.81 and 177.10. The
bridgehead methine carbon resonated at 6 90.97 while the other bridgehead
carbon gave signal at 6 86.50. The signals due to the two ring junction carbon
atoms appeared at 6 59.24 and 58.2 1 .
Ring unsubstituted p-quinoneimide Zb, when treated with six-membered
cyclic carbonyl ylide precursor 4a in presence of catalytic amounts of Rh(II),
afforded the cycloadduct Lla in good yield. Here the initially formed adduct
underwent tautomerization to the fully aromatic derivative (Scheme 22).

In conclusion. our studies on the dipolar cycloaddition of carbonyl ylides
to FI-quinones and p-quinoneimides have revealed that the methodology offers a
versatile protocol for the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Due to
the presence of inherent functionalities, these compounds are amenable to a
number of synthetic transformations. Most importantly, we have shown that
quinoneimides can act as efficient traps for carbonyl ylides, which can be
extended to other dipolar species as well.
3.3. THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS
From the results presented in the previous section, it is obvious that
cyclic carbonyl ylide dipoles add across C=O in the case ofp-quinones and C=C
in the case of p-quinoneimides. In order to afford a theoretical rationale for the
observed resuits, we have carried out some calculations using semi-empirical
MNDO method with the aid of TIT.4N software (version 1). '' The frontier molecular orbitals for p-quinone-carbonyl ylide reaction are
given in Figure 1 I . In this case the predominant stabilizing interaction is
between the HOMO of the dipole and LUMO of p-quinone, a typical example
of Type I cycloaddition according to the Sustmann classification. It is also
evident from the figure that LUMO of p-quinone has larger coefficients on
atoms constituting C'=O than on atoms in C=C. This explains, at least
rationalises, why the addition of carbonyl ylides occurs across the C=O rather
than C=C in the case ofp-quinone.
Figure 11
In the case of p-quinoneimide also, the predominant stabilizing
interaction is between HOMO of the dipole and the LUMO of quinoneimide
(Figure 12). However in this case, the LUMO of the quinoneimide is oriented
more along C=C than along C=N and hence addition occurs exclusively across
that bond.
