How can X be prepared from a constitutional isomer by a series of [2 + 2]cycloaddition reactions? Interest in molecules that contain severalcyclobutane rings fused together has been fueled by the discovery ofpentacycloanammoxic acid methyl ester, a lipid isolated from themembrane of organelles in the bacterium Candidatus Brocadiaanammoxidans. The role of this unusual natural product is as yetunknown.
Although diazomethane (CH2N2) is often not a useful reagent forpreparing cyclopropanes, other diazo compounds give good yields ofmore complex cyclopropanes. Draw a stepwise mechanism for theconversion of diazo compound A to B, an intermediate in the synthesisof sirenin, the sperm attractant produced by the female gametes of thewater mold Allomyces.
What organic product is formed when 1‑methylcyclopentene is treated with NMMO in the presence of H2O and a catalytic amound of OsO4? Clearly show stereochemistry by drawing a wedge and dashed bond for each chiral carbon.
Only draw one stereoisomer if more than one can be formed.
