The Mechanism of Cis- and Trans-2-pinanol Isomerization Reactions

The Mechanism of Cis- and Trans-2-pinanol Isomerization Reactions Vandewiele, Nick M., et al. Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis 90.2 (2011): 187-196.

From Scheme 1 (cis-2-pinanol) and Scheme 2 (trans-pinanol), it can be seen that the stepwise mechanism starts with the opening of the cyclobutane ring of the 2-pinanol reactant (1) via carbon-carbon bond cleavage, leading to cyclic hexanol radicals with methyl and isopropenyl substituents at the 1,4- (compound 2) and 1,2-positions (compound 3). The remaining two C-C bond cleavage possibilities of the cyclobutane ring were not considered, as they would generate unstable diradicals containing primary carbon radicals. Furthermore, through quantum chemical calculations, due to the boat or twisted conformations of the cyclohexane ring, the transition-state structures of these remaining ring-opening reactions in the thermal rearrangement of cis- and trans-pinanes are unfavorable in energy, whereas the chair conformer of the cyclohexane ring is opposite in the ring-opening reaction transition-state structures leading to diradicals with tertiary radical carbon atoms. At 793 K, the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the primary carbon diradicals are 15 kJ mol-1 higher than those leading to the C-C cleavage diradicals 2 and 3. Subsequently, the cleavage of the weakened carbon-carbon bonds at the two radical carbon centers of the diradicals 3 and 2 leads to the acyclic substituted 1,6-octadiene-4-ol and isocampholide. An alternative reaction pathway of diradical intermediate 2 leads to the monocyclic p-menthane-type compound 5, terpineol, via a [1,5]-hydrogen shift. The acyclic primary thermal decomposition products, camphor and isocamphor, are reported to undergo further cyclic olefination through a six-membered transition state, forming cyclopentanol derivatives plinol and compound 8. However, the cyclopentanol derivative 8 was not detected in the experimental reactor effluent. Owing to the relative positions of the hydroxyl and isopropenyl groups in compound 8, the latter can be rearranged back into an acyclic enone-type compound 9 via a retro-ene reaction, where the γ-hydrogen atom is transferred to the unsaturated center through a six-electron cyclic transition state. The possibility of the analytical setup not being able to detect compound 8 was ruled out, as the parallel isomerization pathway forming the polyhydroxybenzene isomers (7) was detected by this setup. Therefore, it is concluded that the rate of formation of 9 from 8 is significantly higher than the cyclic olefination G, and 8 is considered to be a fast-reacting intermediate.
