The two exceptions are europium and ytterbium, which form orthorhombic dihydrides.2 We wish to report the synthesis of a noteworthy higher hydride of ytterbium. For our investigations of rare-earth hydrogen systems in regions of high dissociation pressures (up to 65 atm.), we constructed a stainless steel high-pressure system. This consisted of an atomic hydrogen welded, 3 double-walled bomb, in which the outer chamber could be pressured with hydrogen to prevent diffusion from the inner boiiib a t the high temperatures. Accessories consisted of a 0-1000 p.s.i. Bourdon gauge and a steel reservoir of uranium hydride for pressuring the system. The ytterbium-hydrogen system was of particular interest since it seemed likely that the predicted thermodynamic stability of a trihydride phase placed it within range of attainable high pressures. The inner bomb was charged with eight grams of cleaned, 99.8yo ytterbium metal4 and first heated in vacuo. It then was allowed to absorb hydrogen a t atmospheric pressure until the composition of the hydride was YbHI.90. The hydrogen pressure in the apparatus was increased to several atmospheres and pressure-teniperaturecomposition data obtained. At a composition of YbHZ.4 the dissociation pressure was 20.9 atm. a t 312'. Upon completion of the experiments, the sample was removed from the bomb in a protective atmosphere. I t was a black, air-stable substance; a 94 mg. sample stored in air for 70 days gained less than 1 mg. Examination by powder X-ray diff raction techniques showed the presence of a f.c.c.

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011

Heating the initially formed Diels-Alder cycloadduct at 180°C results in a nitrogen-assisted ring opening followed by a deprotonation/reprotonation of the ensuing zwitterion to give a rearranged hexahydroindolinone. Our attempts to induce a related intramolecular furan Diels-Alder reaction (IMDAF) from the corresponding ketone of 23 failed to give any cycloaddition product. Instead, the only product obtained corresponded to a cyclopentenone derivative derived by isomerization of the double bond into the thermodynamically more stable R,β-position. Efforts toward construction of the final skeleton of fawcettidine by ring A closure of the rearranged cycloadduct derived from furanyl amide 23 are discussed.

These fragments previously served as key intermediates in Yoshii's pioneering total synthesis of (+)-tetronolide. The synthesis of the bottom-half octahydronaphthalene unit 4 features the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of tetraenal 20 and proceeds in 17 steps and 5-6% yield from D-glyceraldehyde pentylidene acetal 8. The synthesis of the spirotetronate fragment 5 features the highly enantioselective exo selective Diels-Alder reaction of triene 37 and chiral dienophile 25b and proceeds in 14 steps and 10% overall yield from cis-2butene-1,4-diol (38). An enantioselective synthesis of Boeckman's top-half cyclohexene fragment 6 via the exo selective Diels-Alder reaction of diene 24 and dienophile 25a was also developed, but this route was deemed too inefficient for use in a projected total synthesis of the natural product. The syntheses of 5 and 6 provide important information on the utility of chiral dienophiles 25a and 25b in organic synthesis.
