The synthesis and spectral characterization of novel nitrodiene compounds from thiols

Novel S-, S,S- and S,O-substituted nitrodiene compounds were synthesized from the reactions of 2-nitro-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene (1) and various thiols in different solvent media. The N,S-substituted nitrodienes also were achieved by the reactions of S-substituted nitrodienes with using morpholine, piperidine and piperazine derivatives. All of the new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-VIS, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, NMR and mass spectroscopy.     

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.     

Synthesis of Novel Thioethers and Sulfoxide Compounds

Abstract

Thiosubstituted butadiene and butenyne compounds were synthesized from the reactions of 1,1,3,3,4,4-hexachloro-1-butene or 1,1,2,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-diene with different thiols in EtOH/H₂O solution of NaOH. Tris(thio)substituted butadiene compound was treated with potassium tert-butoxide to obtain tris(thio)substituted butatrienyl halide compound. The novel sulfoxide compounds were synthesized from the reactions of polyhalobutadiene compounds with aliphatic thiols in CHCl₃ with m-CPBA at 0°C. The structures of the novel compounds were characterized by micro analysis, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and MS.     

N,S-, S-, S,S-, <S═O-, and < SO2-Substituted Dienes from Halo-1,3-Butadienes

Mono(thio)substituted dienes 1 gave 3a–g , 5 , and 7 with piperazine derivatives in dichloromethane. Hexachlorobutadiene 14 in a water-ethanol mixture in the presence of sodium hydroxide reacted with thiol 15 to give the mono(thio)substituted thioether 16 and di(thio)substituted thioether 17 . 18 was obtained from the reaction of 16 with m-CPBA in chloroform. 9 was obtained from the reaction of l,2,3,4,4-pentachloro-(1-2-hydroxyethylthio)-1,3- butadiene 8 with 47% HI, and 11 was synthesized from the reaction of 8 with concentrated H₂SO₄ and KBr. Compounds 9 and 11 gave in the reaction with m-CPBA in chloroform 10 , 12 , and 13 , respectively.     

N,S-Substituted Dienes from Mono(arylthio)substituted- and S-, S,S-Substituted Dienes

Mono(thio)substituted dienes 1a-1b gave compounds 3a-c and 5d-g with piperazine and piperidine derivatives in dichloromethane. Compounds 8 , 9 , and 10 were obtained from the reactions of perchlorobutadiene ( 6 ) with 1,4-butanedithiol ( 7 ) in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Compounds 12a-b , 13a-b were obtained from the reactions of perchlorobutadiene ( 6 ) with allylmercaptan (CH 2 =CH--CH 2 --SH) and mercaptoethanol (HO--CH 2 --CH 2 --SH).     

Synthetic and Structural Studies on Novel 4,3′-Bicoumarins

Abstract

A series of directly linked 4-3′ bicoumarins have been synthesized by both Knoevenagel and Perkin reactions. This single-step transformation was accomplished by the reaction of coumarin-4-acetates with substituted salicylaldehydes in presence of piperidine using ethanol as solvent and by the reaction of coumarin-4-acetic acids with substituted salicylaldehydes in the presence of sodium hydride in acetic anhydride. Greater yields have been obtained in the sodium hydride and acetic anhydride condition. An intermediate chalcone with an ortho-hydroxyl group, which is a precursor for lactone formation, has been isolated and its structure has been confirmed by x-ray analysis. The nonplanar S-cis arrangement of two C4-C3’ double bonds has been confirmed by nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy (NOE) and x-ray studies. The UV-fluorescence studies support the formation of a conjugated bicoumarin system.

Reaction of 4-(2′-Hydroxyaryl)-1,3-dithiolium Salts with Sodium Sulfide. A Selective Synthesis of 2′-Hydroxyacetophenones

Abstract

The treatment of 4-(2′-hydroxyaryl)-2-(N,N-dialkylamino)-1,3-dithiolium perchlorates (1a–g) with sodium sulfide nonahydrate in ethanol at room temperature affords the corresponding 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones (2a–g). When these reactions are conducted in boiling ethanol, 2′-hydroxyacetophenones (3a–g) have been obtained in good to excellent yield. A tentative mechanism for the formation of 3a–g shows that this reaction is regioselective, this being established by the presence of hydroxyl group in 2′-position. That has been confirmed in a control experiment, 4-phenyl-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-1,3-dithiolium perchlorate affording a mixture of condensation products of acetophenone and phenylacetaldehyde, under similar reaction conditions.

Studies on phenothiazines. Part 7. Synthesis of 3-substituted 2-aminobenzenethiols and their conversion into phenothiazines

Synthesis of substituted 1-nitrophenothiazines is reported by the Smiles rearrangement in situ, which involves condensation of 3-chloro or methyl-2-aminobenzenethiol with o-halonitrobenzenes (2,4,6-trinitochloro-benzene, 1,4-dichloro-2,6-dinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-tribromo-1,3-dinitrobenzene) in the presence of ethanolic sodium hydroxide.

Reaction of 6‐Methyl‐2‐Thiouracil and 6‐Phenyl‐2‐Thiouracil with Chloro‐β‐Dicarbonyl and Bromo‐β‐Dicarbonyl Compounds and Their Nitrile Analogs

Derivatives of 2‐methylidene‐1,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐4‐ones 2a , 2b , 2c , 2d , 2e , 2f , 2g were synthesized by interaction of 6‐methyl‐2‐thiouracil and 6‐phenyl‐2‐thiouracil 1a , 1b with some activated halogenides: diethyl bromomalonate, ethyl 2‐chloro‐3‐oxobutanoate, ethyl 2‐bromocyanoacetate, 2‐bromo‐5,5‐dimethylcyclohexan‐1,3‐dione, and bromomalononitrile. The boiling of 1a with ethyl 2‐bromocyanoacetate in mixture of ethanol and EtONa results in intramolecular cyclization and formation of thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐5‐one 3 . Interaction of 1a with 3‐chloropentane‐2,4‐dione and 2‐bromo‐1,3‐diphenylpropane‐1,3‐dione yielded corresponding S‐substituted thiopyrimidines 4a , 4b . In general, the products of 1b S‐alkylation are less prone to sulfur extrusion. Reaction of 1b with diethyl bromomalonate in the absence of EtONa stops at the S‐alkylation step, while in the presence of EtONa in ethanol or PPh₃ in dioxane 2‐(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)thio‐6‐phenyl‐1,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one 6 is formed exclusively. Molecular structure and crystal structure of 2‐(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylmethyliden)‐6‐methyl‐1,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one 2a are discussed.     

Relationships between chemical structures and solubility,diffusivity, and permselectivity of 1,3-butadiene and n-butane in 6FDA-based polyimides

The solubility, diffusivity, and permselectivity of 1,3-butadiene and n-butane in seven different polyimides synthesized from 2,2-bis (3,4-carboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) were determined at 298 K. The influence of chemical structures on physical and gas permeation properties of 6FDA-based polyimides was studied. Solubility of 1,3-butadiene in 6FDA-based polyimides can be described by a dual-mode sorption model. 1,3-Butadiene-induced plasticization is considered to be associated with the increasing permeabilities of 1,3-butadiene and n-butane and the decreasing permselectivity of 1,3-butadiene vs. n-butane in the mixed gas system containing a high concentration of 1,3-butadiene. It was found that controlling the solubility of 1,3-butadiene in an unrelaxed volume in 6FDA-based polyimides is very important to maintain the high permselectivity of 1,3-butadiene vs. n-butane in the mixed gas system. Changing the  C(CF₃)₂ linkage to a  CH₂ ,  O linkage, removing methyl substituents at the ortho position of the imide linkage, and changing the p-phenylene linkage to an m-phenylene linkage in the main chains in some 6FDA-based polyimides are effective to decrease fractional free volume and restrict the solubility of 1,3-butadiene in the unrelaxed volume of a polymer matrix. The 6FDA-based polyimides restricting the solubility of 1,3-butadiene in an unrelaxed volume exhibit high separation performance in the 1,3-butadiene/n-butane mixed gas system compared with conventional glassy polymers and, therefore, are potentially useful membrane materials for the separation of 1,3-butadiene and n-butane in the petrochemical industry. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Efficient One‐Pot Access to 2,9‐Dihydrothiopyrano[2,3‐b]indole Scaffolds Showing Large Stokes Shifts

A simple, mild and efficient one‐pot approach for the construction of 2‐aryl‐3‐nitro‐2,9‐dihydrothiopyrano[2,3‐b]indole derivatives has been realized in CH₂Cl₂ medium at ambient temperature via three‐component tandem reaction of N‐protected‐2‐chloro‐3‐formylindoles, sodium hydrosulfide and β‐substituted nitroolefins/δ‐substituted nitrodienes using DABCO (10 mol%) as an organocatalyst, followed by dehydration in the presence of activated molecular sieves (4 Å). The significant advantages of this protocol are simple operation, shorter reaction time, high atom economy, good to high yields (73% –89%) and wider substrate scope. In addition, all the synthesized compounds have shown the large positive Stokes shift values (5632–6081 cm^?1).

A new synthesis of biologically active pyrroles: Formal synthesis of pentabromopseudilin,bimetopyrol, and several antitubercular agents

Although pyrroles have been synthesized from azido dienes, the corresponding reactions of structurally similar nitrodienes had not been investigated until it became the main focus of this study. This article describes the synthesis of several biologically active pyrroles and mechanistically intriguing results in connection with our new approach using nitrodienes in the presence of Ph₃P and a Mo catalyst, bis (acetylaceto)dioxomolybdenum (VI). The final precursor of pentabromopseudilin (PBP), pseudilin, was synthesized in four steps from o-hydroxycinnamaldehyde. An alternate pathway to PBP proceeded through o-methylpseudilin, prepared in two steps from o-methoxycinnamaldehyde. Both starting materials are commercially available. Similarly, bimetopyrol (2-methyl-4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)pyrrole), a potent anti-inflammatory, was prepared using the new methodology. The remarkable conversion of nitrodienes 14 and 15 to bimetopyrol highlights the formation of a nitroso or nitrene intermediate. We also established that 14 and 15 interconvert in the presence of ambient light and each converts to bimetopyrol when reacted separately. The wide application of our synthetic methodology includes preparation of several antitubercular and Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV2) agents.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazole derivatives as anticancer agents

Abstract

New N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-2-(substituted thio)acetamides were synthesized and studied for their anticancer activity. The title compounds were procured by reacting 2-chloro-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide with some mercapto derivatives. The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and LC-MS/MS spectral data and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antitumor activities against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell line for determining their selective cytotoxicity. 2-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) showed high selectivity, and whose IC₅₀ value was determined as 23.30?±?0.35?µM and >1000?µM against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell lines, respectively. 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4a) and 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) exhibited the highest apoptosis percentage among those tested, but not as high as the standard, cisplatin.
