Synthesis of new fungicidal biphenyl derivatives of 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid

Methods have been developed for the synthesis of new 2,4,4′-substituted biphenyl derivatives containing 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxamide and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylate fragments. The synthesized compounds showed pronounced fungicidal activity.     

Synthesis of functionally substituted isoxazole and isothiazole derivatives

Acylation of benzene and toluene with 5-phenyl- and 5-(p-tolyl)isoxazole-3-carbonyl chlorides gave 5-phenyl(or p-tolyl)isoxazol-3-yl phenyl(or p-tolyl)ketones which were reduced to the corresponding alcohols with sodium tetrahydridoborate in propan-2-ol. Selective reduction of the carboxy group in 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid was achieved by the action of BH₃, and the aldehyde group in 4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl 5-arylisoxazole-3-carboxylates and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylates was reduced to hydroxymethyl group with sodium triacetoxyhydridoborate in benzene. Acylation of the resulting hydroxymethyl derivatives with 5-arylisoxazole- and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides afforded the corresponding esters containing two azole fragments in their molecules.     

Esters of benzoic, 5-arylisoxazole-3-carboxylic and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acids

The method of synthesis was developed of esters of benzoic, 2-chlorobenzoic, 5-phenylisoxazole-3-carboxylic, 5-tolylisoxazole-3-carboxylic, and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acids with some aliphatic and substituted aromatic alcohols. The latter were obtained by reduction of aldehydes used in perfumery.     

Synthesis of Azaheterocyclic Cymantrene Derivatives

The reduction of acetylcymantrene with sodium tetrahydridoborate gave cymantrenylethanol which was acylated with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole- and 5-(4-methylphenyl)isoxazole-3-carbonyl chlorides to obtain esters containing a 1,2-thia(oxa)zole fragment. The condensation of acetylcymantrene with 5-arylisoxazole-3- carbaldehydes, (5-arylisoxazol-3-yl)methoxybenzaldehydes (Ar = Ph, 4-Tol), and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3- carbaldehyde afforded the corresponding (E)-3-(azol-3-yl)-1-cymantrenylprop-2-en-1-ones. The resulting α,β- unsaturated ketones reacted with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide to produce substituted 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides and -1-carbothioamides, and their reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride led to the formation of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles containing cymantrene and 1,2-azole fragments. Heterocyclization of azolylcymantrenylpropenones with guanidine gave 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives, and dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones were obtained by their reaction with thiourea.     

Synthesis of new ferrocene derivatives with a 4,5-dichloroisothiazole fragment

Conjugates of ferrocene and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole were synthesized, where the ferrocene and isothiazole moieties are linked through various structural fragments. The acylation of ferrocene with 4,5- dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride gave (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) ferrocenyl ketone; the acylation of aminomethylferrocene furnished the corresponding amide. The esterification of ferrocene-1,1′-dicarboxylic acid with 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl-methanol resulted in the formation of the corresponding ester. The condensation of 1,1′-diacetylferrocene with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbaldehyde afforded ferrocenophane containing 4,5-dichloroisothiazole moieties.     

Synthesis of New Amides of Isoxazole- and Isothiazole-Substituted Carboxylic Acids Containing an Arylaminopyrimidine Fragment

By acylation of substituted 2-aminoarylpyrimidines with 5-phenyl(p-tolyl)isoxazole- and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides new amides of pyrimidine series were obtained.     

Synthesis and some reactions of aryl 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl ketones

By acylation of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride the corresponding aryl 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl ketones were obtained. By reaction of 4,5-dichloroisothiasol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketone with piperidine, alkyl(aryl) thiolates, sodium alcoholates, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were synthesized 4-methylphenyl 5-piperidyl-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl ketone, 5-alkyl(aryl)sulfanyl-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketones, 5-alkoxy-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketones, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of the initial ketone respectively.     

Crystal and molecular structure of 3-trichloromethyl-4-chloro-5-isopropoxyisothiazole and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid

X-ray structural data are used to demonstrate that the chlorine in the 5-position of the heterocycle is replaced on reaction of 3-trichloromethyl-4,5-dichloroisothiazole with sodium isopropoxide. The S-N and C-S bond lengths are lengthened in the resulting 3-trichloromethyl-4-chloro-5-isopropoxyisothiazole whereas the C-N and C-C bonds are shortened compared with analogous bonds in 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid. This is explained by conjugation of the carboxylic acid with the heterocycle.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 399–402, March, 1992.     

Functional Derivatives of Ethyl 4-(Chloromethyl)-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylate

The condensation of ethyl 4-(chloromethyl)-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylate with substituted phenols in ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded the corresponding aryl pyridin-4-ylmethyl ethers. Analogous condensation with substituted anilines gave 2-aryl-4,6-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]- pyridin-3-ones. Esters containing 1,2-azole fragments were synthesized by acylation of hydroxymethylsubstituted ethers with 5-arylisoxazole- and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides.     

Synthesis of functional derivatives of aryl trichlorovinyl (trichloroallyl) ketones via consecutive transformations of the carbonyl group

An efficient procedure have been developed for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group in phenyl trichlorovinyl ketone and aryl trichloroallyl ketones by the action of NaBH₄ in propan-2-ol to obtain the corresponding alcohols. The hydroxy group in the latter was converted into amino by the Ritter reaction. Treatment of the alcohols and amines with 5-phenylisoxazole-3-carbonyl chloride and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride gave the corresponding esters and amides, and condensation of the amines with aromatic aldehydes afforded Schiff bases.     

Synthesis of 4,5-dichloro-3-cyanoisothiazole and its functional derivatives

By treating with phosphorus pentoxide the 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxamide 4,5-dichloro-3-cyanoisothiazole was synthesized whose reactions with piperidine, phenyl-and benzylthiols occurred with replacement of the chlorine atom in the position 5 by the residue of the corresponding nucleophile. Reactions with sodium thiobytylate and also with sodium methylate in methanol led to the formation both of the products of chlorine substitution by BuS or MeO groups respectively and of addition products of methanol to the cyano group. The reaction of butanethiol with cyanoisothiazole in 2-propanol in the presence of sodium 2-propylate was more selective and resulted in the replacement of the chlorine atom in the position 5 by the residue of the butanethiol.     

Synthesis of alkyl (4,5-Dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) ketones and some of their derivatives

Reactions of 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-ylcarbonitrile with methylmagnesium iodide and ethylmagnesium bromide afforded the corresponding alkyl (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) ketones. The reaction of (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) methyl ketone with morpholine and piperidine provided 5-morpholino-(piperidino)-substituted derivatives, by the action of sodium borohydride in 2-propanol the keto group was reduced to alcoholic hydroxy group. The bromination of (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) methyl ketone with elemental bromine gave bromomethyl (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) ketone, whose reaction with thiourea resulted in 2-amino-4-(4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl)thiazole.

Application of esca to semi-quantitative surface and state analysis of iron oxides

In order to study oxidation states in the surface analysis of solids, a semi-quantitative ESCA (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy-XPS and X-ray-excited Auger-electron spectroscopy-XAES) method was proposed. Taking iron-oxygen compounds as examples, the summation or subtraction technique was utilized in the analysis of ESCA spectra to identify the co-ordination type and crystal structure. The "XAES intensity factors" for the lines Cr L(3)M(2,3)M(4,5), Ti L(3)M(2,3)M(4,5) and from Fe L(3)M(4,5)M(4,5) to Zn L(3)M(4,5)M(4,5) were estimated and their occurrence discussed.
