Abstract

4,7-Dihydro-5-nitro-l,3-dioxepins 4' prepared by dehydrohalogenation
of vic-chloronitro-dioxepanes 2 and/or dehydrohalogenationdemercuration of vic-chloromercurynitro-dioxepanes 3 represent reactive dienophiles in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition with 4-methyloxazole (5), giving pyridoxine (8) intermediates 1,5-dihydro-9-hydroxy- 8-methyl-3H-[1,3]dioxepino[5,6-c]pyridines 6 in poor yields. The side products of this reaction were 4,7-dihydro-4-hydroxyimino- 6-nitro-l,3-dioxepins 7, the structure of which was confirmed by parallel synthesis, i.e. by nitrosation of 4 with ethyl nitrite. The order of reactivity in the series of 5-substituted-4, 7-dihydro- 1,3-dioxepins, calculated by AMI semiempirical method, is predicted to be 5-nitro- > 5-unsubstituted- > 5-cyano- > 5-chloro-4,7-dihydro- 1,3-dioxepin, and it is in agreement with experimental data.
