Tandem Conjugate Additions and 3-Aza-Cope Rearrangements of Tertiary Allyl Amines and Cyclic α-Vinylamines with Acetylenic Sulfones. Applications to Simple and Iterative Ring Expansions Leading to Medium and Large-Ring Nitrogen Heterocycles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tertiary acyclic allyl amines and tertiary cyclic alpha-vinyl amines undergo conjugate additions to acetylenic sulfones to produce zwitterion intermediates, followed by 3-aza-Cope rearrangements. In the case of cyclic alpha-vinyl amines, the process results in ring-expansion, providing a novel route to 9- to 17-membered cyclic amines. The Hammett plot for the reaction of 8b with 2a- 2f shows rho = +1.19, which is consistent with formation of the proposed zwitterion in the rate-determining step, where electron-withdrawing substituents on the arylsulfonyl moiety stabilize the negative charge and enhance the rate of the reaction. Alternative pathways were observed in methanol in the case of 11, where a methoxy substituent promotes a dissociative mechanism of the corresponding zwitterion via a stabilized allyl cation, whereas the zwitterion derived from amine 12 undergoes ring-opening by direct attack of methanol upon the strained aziridinium moiety instead of by rearrangement. An iterative process was developed, where the product of one ring-expansion is converted into a new cyclic alpha-vinyl amine, followed by a repetition of the conjugate addition and [3,3] rearrangement. This protocol was illustrated by its application to the synthesis of motuporamine A and B.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
