Bicyclobutane

Summary

Bicyclo[1.1.0]butane is an organic compound with the formula C4H6. It is a bicyclic molecule consisting of two cis-fused cyclopropane rings, and is a colorless and easily condensed gas.[1] Bicyclobutane is noted for being one of the most strained compounds that is isolatable on a large scale — its strain energy is estimated at 63.9 kcal mol−1. It is a nonplanar molecule, with a dihedral angle between the two cyclopropane rings of 123°.[2]

The first reported bicyclobutane was the ethyl carboxylate derivative, C4H5CO2Et, which was prepared by dehydrohalogenation the corresponding bromocyclobutanecarboxylate ester with sodium hydride.[2] The parent hydrocarbon was prepared from 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclobutane by conversion of the bromocyclobutanecarboxylate ester,[1] followed by intramolecular Wurtz coupling using molten sodium.[3] The intermediate 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclobutane can also be prepared via a modified Hunsdiecker reaction from 3-chlorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid using mercuric oxide and bromine:[4]

A synthetic approach to bicyclobutane derivatives involves ring closure of a suitably substituted 2-bromo-1-(chloromethyl)cyclopropane with magnesium in THF.[5] Substituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes can also be prepared from the reaction of iodo-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes with amines, thiols, and sulfinate salts.[6] Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes are explored in medicinal chemistry as covalent reactive groups.[7]

Stereochemical evidence indicates that bicyclobutane undergoes thermolysis to form 1,3-butadiene with an activation energy of 41 kcal mol−1 via a concerted pericyclic mechanism (cycloelimination, [σ2s+σ2a]).[8]

Biological synthesis edit

Linolenic acid can be converted into its bicyclobutane derivative using a fusion protein produced by a strain of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sphaerica (strain PCC 7120).[9] The other group reported a directed evolution approach, whereby engineered heme protein was expressed in E. coli and optimized for rate and yield of a substituted bicyclobutane derivative.[10]
