J. Seibel et al., FUNCTIONALIZED CHLOROENAMINES IN AMINOCYCLOPROPANE SYNTHESIS .13. AZAANNULATED CYCLOPROPANES - RIGID BUILDING-BLOCKS FOR OLIGOAMINES, Tetrahedron, 50(3), 1994, pp. 715-730
Oligoamines 5, 6 and 7 with rigid 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl building bl
ocks were synthesized from di(chloroenamines) 8 and nucleophiles. Sodi
um borohydride as nucleophile led to endo,endo-tetramines 5a,b; the sa
me stereochemical result generating 5d and 5f was observed for cyanide
or methyllithium as reagents. Methylmagnesium bromide reacted with 8
to give mainly exo,exo-tetramine 7f besides small amounts of isomers 5
f and 6f. Basicity, conformation and molecular flexibility of the new
tetramines 5 - 7 were studied. X-Ray structural analyses pointed out a
meander shape of tetramine 5f and a linear arrangement of tetramine 7
f.
