70 NITRILE OXIDES<br />

complexes [PdCl2(ONCAr)2], which are the Þrst representatives of metal compounds<br />

<strong>in</strong> which nitrile oxides act as lig<strong>and</strong>s. The liberation of the heterocyclic<br />

species from 332 is successfully performed by substitution reactions either with<br />

1,2-bis(diphenylphosph<strong>in</strong>o)ethane or with an excess amount of Na2S.7H2O <strong>in</strong><br />

MeOH (397).<br />

The cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to nitriles, <strong>and</strong> its Pt(II) <strong>and</strong> Pt(IV) complexes,<br />

trans-[PtCl2(NCMe)2] <strong>and</strong>trans-[PtCl4(NCMe)2], was <strong>in</strong>vestigated by<br />

quantum chemical methods at different levels of theory, us<strong>in</strong>g quasi-relativistic<br />

pseudopotentials for the plat<strong>in</strong>um atom. The activation of the nitriles ligated to<br />

Pt(IV) can be <strong>in</strong>terpreted <strong>in</strong> terms of both k<strong>in</strong>etic (activation parameters) <strong>and</strong> thermodynamic<br />

(reaction energies) viewpo<strong>in</strong>ts. The higher reactivity of the Pt(IV)<br />

complex, when compared with that of the Pt(II) complex, is k<strong>in</strong>etically controlled.<br />

The calculations predict that the Pt(II) complex should be less reactive<br />

than free acetonitrile, <strong>and</strong> that the relative reactivity of the Pt(II) complex is governed<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>ly by the entropic factor. The cycloaddition of nitrile oxide to nitriles<br />

is ma<strong>in</strong>ly controlled by the HOMOnitrile oxide-LUMOnitrile type of <strong>in</strong>teraction <strong>and</strong><br />

occurs via a concerted asynchronous mechanism for both free <strong>and</strong> bound nitriles<br />

rather than via a stepwise mechanism (398).<br />

elim<strong>in</strong>ation of (Me3Si)2O from Me3SiP = C(OSiMe3)C6H2-2,4,6-Me3), undergoes<br />

[3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with nitrile oxides to yield oxaazaphosphole<br />

derivatives (399).<br />

1.3.4.4. Intramolecular Cycloaddition Intramolecular nitrile oxide cycloaddition<br />

(INOC) is widely used <strong>in</strong> the synthesis of various compounds, particularly,<br />

natural products. This Þeld is reviewed <strong>in</strong> detail <strong>in</strong> Chapter 6 of the monograph/Reference<br />

5 <strong>and</strong> also <strong>in</strong> Reference 400 limited to nitrile oxides generated<br />

from nitroalkenes. Some features of INOC are illustrated <strong>in</strong> this subsection by<br />

new data <strong>and</strong> those omitted <strong>in</strong> Reference 5.<br />

Reactions with participation of the C=C bond are the most studied of INOCs.<br />

Normal products of such reactions are annulated isoxazol<strong>in</strong>es. A synthesis of<br />

bicyclic isoxazol<strong>in</strong>es via sequential Michael <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>tramolecular 1,3-dipolar additions<br />

(403) are mentioned as an example. Michael addition of 1-nitroalkadiene,<br />
