Aminierende,reduktive Kupplung aromatischer Aldehyde mit Tris(dialkylamino)methylvanandium (IV) zu N,N,N′,N′-Tetraaalkyl-1,2-diaryläthylendiaminen

Aminative Reductive Coupling of Aromatic Aldehydes to N,N,N′,N′-Tetraalkyl-1,2-diarylethylenediamines, Induced by Tris(dialkylamino)methylvanadium (IV) In a novel type of reaction, certain aromatic aldehydes (benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde, furan-2-carbaldehyde) and secondary amines are coupled to give N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkyl-1,2-diarylethylenediamines 1–6 . The reagents are tris(dialkylamino)methylvanadium(IV) compounds (cf. Eqn. 2). These are generated in situ either from isolable chlorotris(dialkylamino) vanadium(IV) (Eqn. 3), or preferably, from an Et₂O/pentane solution of VCl₄ which is treated sequentially with 3 equiv. of lithium dialkylamide, 1 equiv. of MeLi, and 0.8 equiv. of an aromatic aldehyde, to give the products 1–6 in a one-pot preparation (Scheme 2). The yields range from 14 to 54%. The diastereoisomeric mixtures (meso- and (±)-forms) obtained are separated by chromatography (Al₂O₃, petroleum ether/Et₂O/Et₃N), and the pure stereoisomers fully characterized. A mechanism of the reductive coupling induced by CH₃V (NR₂)₃ is proposed (Scheme 1).     

Synthesis of Novel Polymers with a Chiral 1,2-Diamine Moiety by Polycondensation and their Application to Catalyst for Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Aromatic Ketones

Summary: Novel polymers with chiral 1,2-diamine moiety were successfully synthesized by polycondensation of N-Boc protected enantiopure 1,2-diamine bearing two phenol groups ( S , S )-4 , bisphenol derivatives, and dibromides, followed by deprotection of N-Boc moiety. Hydrogenation of acetophenone was performed with use of polymeric catalyst system prepared from the polymer-supported chiral 1,2-diamine and RuCl₂/(S)-BINAP. The reaction proceeded smoothly even in 2-propanol to give 1-phenylethanol in quantitative yield with high level of enantioselectivity. Furthermore, various other aromatic ketones could be asymmetrically hydrogenated by the polymeric catalyst system.     

基于1,2-二氢-2-(4-羧基苯基-4-[4-(4-羧基苯氧基)-3-甲基苯基](2H)二氮杂萘-1-酮的新型芳香聚酰胺的简易合成

A new monomer diacid, 1,2-dihydro-2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-4-[4-(4-carboxylphenoxy)-3-methylphenyl]phtha-lazin-1-one (3), was synthesized through the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of a readily available unsymmetrical phthalazinone 1 bisphenol-like with p-chlorobenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide and alkaline hydrolysis. The diacid could be directly polymerized with various aromatic diamines 4a-4e using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents to give five new aromatic poly(ether amide)s 5a-5e containing the kink non-coplanar heterocyclic units with inherent viscosities of 1.30-1.54 dL/g.The polymers were readily soluble in a variety of solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and even in m-cresol and pyridine (Py). The transparent, flexible and tough films could be formed by solution casting. The glass transition tem-peratures Tg were in the range of 286-317℃.     

Reaction of sulfene with heterocyclic N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. IX. Synthesis of 1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indole derivatives

The polar 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 5-aminomethylene-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-methylindol-4-ones occurred only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution to give, generally in good yield, 4-dialkylamino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-7-methyl-7H-1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indole 2,2-dioxides IV. Full aromatization of IVa (4-NR₂ = dimethylamino) with DDQ in refluxing benzene gave in low yield 7-methyl-7H-1,2-oxathiino-[6,5-e]indole 2,2-dioxide, whereas the same reaction of IVe (4-NR₂ = morpholinyl) with excess DDQ afforded in low yield 7-methyl-4-morpholinyl-7H-1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indole 2,2-dioxide.     

Composés sulfurés hétérocycliques. CII. Action de l'hydroxylamine sur les dihydro-1,2 benzothiazine-3,1 thiones-4

Hydroxylamine reacts with 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-3,1-benzothiazine-4thiones ( 1 ), giving 1-alky1-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 2 ). The same reagent, in neutral medium, converts 1-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3,1-benzothiazine-4-thiones ( 3 ) into 1-aryl-4-hydroxyimino-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzothiazines ( 4 ). In acidic medium, the same starting materials lead to 1-aryl-3-hydroxy-2-3-dihydro-1H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 5 ). genrally with some quantity of the isomer 4 . Thiones 2 and 5 , as well as oximes 4 , heated at 200°, decomopose, yielding, in varying proportions, 1H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 6 or 7 ), 1H-quinazoline-4-ones ( 9 ) and 2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 11 ). Reacting with methyliodide, 1H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 7 ) give 4-methylthioquinazolin-1-ium iodidies ( 12 ) which can be hydrolysed into 1H-quinazolin-4-ones ( 9 ). The latter are also obtained by reacting benzonitrile N-oxide with the corresponding thiones. 1-Aryl-1 H-quinazoline-4-thiones ( 7 ) react readily with nitrogen nucleophiles XNH₂ to give 1-aryl-4-imino-1,4-dihydro-quinazolines diversely substituted on the imino group. While thiones 7 are S- methylated by methyl iodide, the corresponding 1-aryl-1H-quinazolin-4-ones (9), with the same reagent, ungergo a N-methylation, yielding 1-aryl-3-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-l-ium iodides ( 18 ). Structure have been confirmed by uv, ir and nmr spectra.     

Thermal transformation of cyclopropylazoarenes into the five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles

Cyclopropylazoarenes containing methoxy groups in the aromatic ring give the corresponding N-arylpyrazolines on the reflux in o-dichlorobenzene or on SnCl₂ catalysis at 80 °C in good yields. The products can be smoothly oxidized into the corresponding pyrazoles. Thermolysis of cyclopropylazoarenes containing hydroxy groups in the aromatic ring proceeds more complicated. Thus in the case of resorcin azo derivative, strong resinification of the reaction mixture is observed and the corresponding N-arylpyrazoline is isolated only in −40% yield. Under similar conditions, thermolysis of 1-cyclopropyl- and 1-(1-methylcyclopropyl)azo-2-naphthol proceeds otherwise and unexpectedly leads to naphtho[1,2-d]oxazole derivatives with degradation of the cyclopropane ring.

Reaction of sulfene with heterocyclic N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. X. Synthesis of thieno[2,3-h]-1,2-benzoxathiin derivatives

The polar 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted (E)5-aminomethylene-6,7-dihydrobenzo[b]-thiophen-4(5H)ones II gave in excellent yield and only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-h]-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides III, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system thieno[2,3-h]-1,2-benzoxathiin. Dehydrogenation with DDQ of cycloadducts IIIa-d was successful only in the case of IIIa (NR₂ = dimethylamino) to give in low yield 4-dimethylamino-3,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-h]-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxide.     

Synthesis of New C2‐Symmetric Chiral Bisamides from (1S,2S)‐Cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxylic Acid

A series of new C₂‐symmetric (1S,2S)‐cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxamides was synthesized from (1S,2S)‐cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarbonyl dichloride and N‐benzyl‐substituted aromatic amines, which were prepared from 2‐aminopyridine, 2‐chloroaniline, and 2‐aminophenol via imine formation with benzaldehyde and subsequent reduction with NaBH₄. (1S,2S)‐N,N′‐Dibenzyl‐N,N′‐bis[2‐(benzyloxy)phenyl]cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxamide was converted to (1S,2S)‐N,N′‐dibenzyl‐N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxamide via hydrogenolysis in the presence of Pd(OH)₂ on active carbon powder.     

Reaction of dichloroketene and sulfenc with N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylene-1 -indanones. Synthesis of indeno[ 1,2-b ] pyran and lndeno[2,l-e] -1,2-oxathiin derivatives

The 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylcnc-l-indanones afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-ainino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2-oxoindeno[1,2-b ]pyrans only in the case of full or partial aromatic N-substitution. The diphenylamino adduct gave 3-chloro-4-diphenylamino-2-oxoindeno[ 1,2-b]pyran by dehydrochlorination with DBN. The 1,4-cycloaddition with sulfene occurred only in the case of 2-diethylaininomethylene-1-indanone to give 4-diethylamino-3,4-dihydroindeno[2, 1-e]-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxide, a derivative of a new hetero-cyclic system.     

Reactions of pyridinium or isoquinolinium ketene dithioacetals with aromatic N-imines and S-imines

Reactions of ketene dithioacetals, 1-[1-substituted 2,2-bis(methylthio)ethenyl]pyridinium 1a-i or -isoquinolinium 2a,b iodides with aromatic N-imines, 1-aminopyridinium 3a-1,1 -aminoquinolinium ( 4 ), and 2-amino-isoquinolinium ( 5 ) mesitylene sulfonates gave the corresponding 2-methylthioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 9a-k , 2-methylthiopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 11a-q , 2-methylthioimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives 10a,b and 2-methylthiopyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline ( 12 ). The benzoyl compounds, 1-[1-benzoyl-2,2-bis(methylthio)ethenyl]-pyridinium iodides 1g,h,i reacted with N-imine 3a to give the 3-benzoyl-2-methylthioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 9h-k . The reaction of pyridinium ketene dithioacetals 1a,f,g (R¹ = COOE_t, COPh, and CN) with substituted pyridinium N-imines having an electron-withdrawing group on the pyridine ring afforded only the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives 11j-r in good yields. Reactions of ketene dithioacetals with various S-imines are also described. Possible mechanisms for the formation of 9 and 11 are described.     

Synthesis and characterization of new aromatic polyesters and polyethers derived from 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylethylene

New polyarylates and aromatic polyethers were synthesized from 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylethylene, and aromatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides and aromatic dihalides, respectively. The polyarylates having inherent viscosities of 0.28–1.05 dL/g were synthesized by either the two-phase method or the high-temperature solution method. All the polymers were easily soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, pyridine, m-cresol, 1,4-dioxane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane. They have glass transition temperatures in the range of 217–250°C and showed no weight loss below 315°C in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. Aromatic polyethers with inherent viscosities of 0.85–1.21 dL/g were obtained by the polycondensation of 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylethylene and aromatic difluorides in the presence of potassium carbonate. These polymers having glass transion temperatures of 193–220°C were also soluble in the aforementioned solvents and stable up to around 350deg;C in both atmospheres. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Röntgenstrukturanalyse von 2,4,6-Tri(tert-butyl)phenyl-lithium · N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylpropan-1,2-diamin: Eine monomere Organolithium-Verbindung

X-Ray Crystal-Structure Analysis of 2,4,6-Tri(tert-butyl)phenyllithium · N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylpropane-1,2-diamine: a Monomeric Organolithium Compound Tri(tert-butyl)phenyllithium is an important reagent for the preparation of derivatives of main-group elements with low coordination state as well as a highly hindered base for the generation of amine-free Li-enolates. Its monomeric nature in solution was previously deduced from NMR measurements. While Et₂O, THF, and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylene-1,2-diamine (tmen) led to crystalline samples which were not suitable for structure analysis, the N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylpropane-1,2-diamine (tmpn) gave good single crystals of the title compound from Et₂O/hexane (disorder along the two-fold crystallographic axis running through Li? C(1) and C(4) of the Ph ring. The structure (Fig. 1, Table 1) has some remarkable features: (i) it is one of the very few monomeric organolithium compounds so far, (η¹-Li on aromatic ring); (ii) it has the rare trigonal-planar coordination of the Li-atom; iii) there are close contacts between the Li-atom arid one of the Me groups in each ortho-position (Fig. 3). The internal angle on the Ph-ring ipso-C-atom is 114°. This angle as well as those of the other known phenyllithium (Table 2), -magnesium, and -aluminum structures are included in a plot of ipso-angles against Pauling electronegativities (Fig. 2).     

Reaction of sulfenes with heterocyclic N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XII. Synthesis of [1]benzothiepino[4,5-e][1,2]oxathiin derivatives

The 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro[1]benzothiepin-5(2H)-ones I occurred only in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution to give in good yield 4-dialkylamino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro[1]benzothiepino[4,5-e][1,2]oxathiin 2,2-dioxides, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system [1]benzothiepino[4,5-e][1,2]oxathiin. Also the reaction of I with chlorosulfene occurred only in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution to afford chiefly trans-4-dialkylamino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-[1]benzothiepino[4,5-e][1,2]oxathiin 2,2-dioxides III in satisfactory yield. Adducts III were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to 4-dialkylamino-5,6-dihydro[1]benzothiepino[4,5-e][1,2]oxathiin 2,2-dioxides in good yield.     

A μ4‐oxide‐containing a dimeric variant of a sodium dialkyl(amido)zincate reagent

Post‐metallation derivatives of the sodium dialkyl(amido)zincate reagent (TMEDA)Na(μ‐TMP)Zn(^tBu)₂ (TMEDA is N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine and TMP is 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide) have been of structural interest due to the insight they give into aromatic metallation mechanisms. Here, the aromatic substrate is formally replaced with [ZnO]₂ to give tetra‐tert‐butyldi‐μ₄‐oxido‐bis(tetramethylethylenediamine‐κ²N,N′)bis(μ₂‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐ido‐κ²N:N)disodiumtetrazinc hexane 0.59‐solvate, [Na₂Zn₄(C₄H₉)₄(C₉H₁₈N)₂O₂(C₆H₁₆N₂)₂]·0.59C₆H₁₄. The crystallographically centrosymmetric complex retains many of the structural features of its parent monomer but has an unusual dimeric structure, with a central planar Zn–O–Zn–O ring joined to two orthogonal near‐planar Zn–O–Na–N rings through the distorted tetrahedral geometries of the oxide ions.     

Reaction of sulfene and dichloroketene with open-chain N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. Synthesis of 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides and of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (III) occurred in good yield only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution to give 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides, whereas N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-1-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (IV) did not react at all. Polar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to III and IV occurred partly in the case of aromatic N-substitution, with the exception of the morpholino derivative IVd, giving in low yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones (VII) in good yield. In some cases of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution of III and IV, cycloaddition led directly to N,N-dialkyl derivatives VII in low yield.     

1,2-fused pyrimidines. V. Synthesis of 1-alkyl or phenyl-2H-dipyrido-[1,2-a:2′,3′-d]pyrimidine-2,5(1H)-diones

The reaction of 2-[(N-acyl, N-alkyl or phenyl)amino]-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 8a-g with the N,N-dimethylformamide/phosphorus oxychloride Vilsmeier reagent 1 (95°, 90 minutes) afforded 1-alkyl or phenyl-2H-dipyrido[1,2-a:2′,3′-d]pyrimidine-2,5(1H)^?diones, 3-alkyl substituted or not, 10a-g . The starting compounds 8 were prepared by treating 2-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones N-alkyl substituted 7a,b or N-phenyl substituted 4 with excess anhydrides (130°, 7 hours) when the 2-(alkylamino) derivatives 7 were used in the reaction, compounds 8 were obtained along with very small amounts of 3-acyl-2-(alkylamino)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 .     

Novel One-Pot Procedure for the Synthesis of 1,2-Diketones

A simple and convenient one-pot procedure is reported for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones from corresponding benzoin-type condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes in water with N,N-dialkylbenzimidazolium salt as condensation catalyst and ferric chloride as oxidizing reagent.     

Total Synthesis of (±)-3-Deoxy-7,8-dihydromorphine, (±)-4-Methoxy-N-methylmorphinan-6-one and 2,4-Dioxygenated (±)-Congeners

A total synthesis of racemic 3-deoxy-7,8-dihydromorphine ((±)- 2 ) and 4-me-thoxy-ALmethylmorphinan-6-one ((±)- 3 ) is described. The key intermediate was 2,4-dihydroxy-N-formylmorphinan-6-one (11) , obtained from 3,5-dibenzyloxy-phenylacetic acid (4) in 41.8% overall yield. Bromination of 11 , and treatment with aqueous N_aOH-solution afforded, after N-deblocking and reductive N-methylation with concomitant removal of the aromatic bounded Br-atom, the morphinanone 14. Elimination of the HO–C(2) group in 14 was accomplished by hydrogenolysis of its N-phenyltetrazolyl ether 15 , to give 3-deoxy-6,0-didehydro-7,8-dihydromorphine (16). Reduction of 16 with L-Selectride at low temperature provided (±)- 2 in high yield. The ether 15 directly afforded, under more vigorous reduction conditions, 4-hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan-6-one (17). and after O-methylation of 17 , the methyl ether (±)- 3 was obtained. A (1:l)-mixture of 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-N-methylmor-phinan-6-one (28) and its 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy isomer 30 svere obtained by Grewe-cyclization of a mono-methoxylated aromatic precursor similar to that which afforded 11. The 2,4-dioxygenated N-methylmorphinan-6-ones 29 , 31 and 38 were also prepared and characterized.     

Reactions of 1-halocycloheptenes with potassium t-Butoxide and with sodium pyrrolidide

Reactions of 1-halocycloheptenes with KO-t-Bu in DMSO and THF were studied. The principal products obtained could be accounted for on the basis of two competing dehydrohalogenation mechanisms. These are: dehydrohalogenation across the C₁-C₂ bond to give cycloheptyne; and dehydrohalogenation across the C₁-C₇ bond to give 1,2-cycloheptadiene. One or both of these intermediates react with KO-t-Bu to give 1-t-butoxycycloheptene in poor yield. The principal product from the three 1-halocycloheptenes in both solvents is tricyclo[7.5.0.0²8]tetradeca-2,14-diene (4), the dimer of 1,2-cycloheptadiene. Also formed are 5, the 2(8), 14-diene isomer of 4, presumably by cycloaddition of 1,2-cycloheptadiene and cycloheptyne, and 6, the 2,13-diene isomer of 4, by rearrangement of 4 effected by KO-t-Bu.Also studied were rections of 1 chloro- and 1-iodocycloheptene with sodium pyrrolidide (Na- NC₄H₈) in THF. These reactions give 1-(1-pyrrolidino)cycloheptene in fair yield together with smaller amounts of the 14-carbon hydrocarbons. Reactions of 1-chlorocycloheptene-1-¹⁴C and 4-chloro- and 4-iodobicyclo[5.1.0]oct-3-ene leading to (1-pyrrolidino)cycloheptenes were found to occur via both the corresponding cycloheptyne and 1,2-cycloheptadiene.     

Novel polycyclic heterocycles. XII. Reactions of 1,2-dihydro-11-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-7H-quino[8, 1-cd] [1,5]-benzoxazepin-3-one with aromatic aldehydes

The Claisen-Schmidt condensation between 1,2-dihydro-11-(trifluoromethyl)-3H,7H-quino-[8,1 -cd][1,5]benzoxazepin-3-one, 1 , and aromatic aldehydes has been investigated. The acid catalyzed reactions yielded the trans-2-benzylidene derivatives, 4 ; the structures and configurations of the group of compounds represented by 4 have been confirmed by pmr in conjunction with the Eu(fod)₃ shift reagent. In contrast, catalysis with sodium hydroxide gave the isomeric 2-benzyl-endocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones, 3. Finally, the 4 could be isomerized to the corresponding 3 by means of sodium hydroxide. The ir, uv, and pmr spectra of these compounds are discussed.
