The endoperoxide obtained from 2,5-diphenylfuran at -30°C on catalysis with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate condenses with pivalaldehyde, acetone and cyclohexanone to give the corresponding cis-fused dihydrofurano-1,2,4-trioxanes (20, 21, 22 and

Unsaturated bicyclic endoperoxides are efficiently cyclopropanated with excess diazomethane in the presence of catalytic palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] in a stereoselective manner. This method represents a new peroxide-preserving transformati

The model prostaglandin endoperoxide, 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1] heptane (3), was investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide at a glassy carbon electrode using various electrochemical techniques. Reduction of 3 occurs by a concerted dissociative electron transfer (ET) mechanism. Electrolysis at -1.6 V yields 1,3-diphenyl-cyclopentane-cis-1,3-diol in 97% by a two-electron mechanism; however, in competition with the second ET from the electrode, the resulting distonic radical-anion intermediate undergoes a β-scission fragmentation. The rate constant for the heterogeneous ET to the distonic radical-anion is estimated to occur on the order of 2 × 107 s-1. In contrast, electrolyses conducted at potentials more negative than -2.1 V yield a mixture of primary and secondary electrolysis products including 1,3-diphenyl-cyclopentane-cis-1,3-diol, 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione, trans-chalcone and 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-hydroxypropane by a mechanism involving less than one electron equivalent. These observations are rationalized by a catalytic radical-anion chain mechanism, which is dependent on the electrode potential and the concentration of weak non-nucleophilic acid. A thermochemical cycle for calculating the driving force for β-scission fragmentation from oxygen-centred biradicals and analogous distonic radical-anions is presented and the results of the calculations provide insight into the reactivity of prostaglandin endoperoxides.
