Preparation of 13C4-6-Methyl Anthranilic Ester via a Diels−Alder-Type Process. An Experimental and Theoretical Study to Characterize an Unexpected Isotope Exchange

Abstract: Buta-2,3-dienoate reacts with vinyl ketenimine to give the corresponding substituted aniline through a Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Besides the expected Diels-Alder adduct 3a, the aniline 3b was also obtained in a ratio of 91:9. The observed (13)C exchange is explained on the basis of a reversible [2 + 2] cycloaddition competing with the [4 + 2] process. This is supported by B3LYP DFT computations, as a stepwise pathway lies very close in energy to the [4 + 2] concerted one. [reaction: see text]

“…Vinylketenimine 284 reacts by a Diels–Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition with the allenyl ester 285 leading to the aniline 286 , but the use of 13 C labeling showed that scrambling of the carbons a and b occurred as explained by reversible formation of cyclobutane 287a , which interconverts with diradical 287b and the alternative diradical with a radical site at C a (Scheme ) …”

“…As an additional benefit, diverse ester groups can be introduced right from the start, e.g. benzyl groups as in 22b or long alkyl chains as in 22c that make these cages amphiphilic (from the corresponding benzyl 49 or dodecyl esters). Saponification and acidic workup leads to the decarboxylated cage compound 23 (α-demethylated analogue of 20) with similar δdamascone release properties.…”
