MECHANISM OF THE REACTION OF SOME STABLE HEMIMERCAPTALS WITH Secondary-AMINES: EVIDENCE AGAINST THE INTERMEDIACY OF A METHYLENESULFONIUM ION

Abstract

The reaction of the arenethiols 4a-b with formaldehyde and the sec-amines 5a-c gave the aminomethyl aryl sulfides 6a-d. The reaction of the hemimercaptals 3a-b with 5a in methanol gave 6a-b in high yield. In acetonitrile reaction media, 6b was obtained by the reaction of 3b with 5a which suggested that 7b was not an intermediate in the formation of 6b in methanolic media. The absence of 7b in methanolic media suggests that the methylenesulfonium ion 8b is not an reaction intermediate. The formation of 7b was observed in the reaction of 3b with methanol when catalyzed by the Lewis acid tetrafluoroboric acid diethyl ether complex. The experimental observations are best explained by a mechanism whereby 3a-b are in rapid equilibrium with 4a-b under the basic reaction conditions. Rapid reaction of the liberated formaldehyde with 5a leads to the normal Mannich reaction pathway. Consistent with this mechanism, the reaction of a mixture of 3a-b and 12 with 5a gave both 6a-b and 13.     

ORGANISCHE PHOSPHORVERBINDUNGEN 80 HERSTELLUNG VON TRIAZOLYLMETHYL-PHOSPHONATEN UND VON TRIAZOLYL-METHYLPHOSPHONIUMSALZEN UND DEREN VERWENDUNG IN DER WITTIG-HORNER REAKTION

Abstract

Attempts to prepare 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethylphosphonates (4 and 5) by a Mannichtype reaction or by transesterification of 1-hydroxymethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol 1 with tertiary phosphites failed. On the other hand 4 and 5 are obtained by a Michaelis-Becker reaction from 1-chloromethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol 3 and sodium phosphites in high yield. The Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction is less suited for the preparation of 4 and 5. 3 is obtained in good yield as a water clear liquid, b.p. 52–54°C/0.2 torr, from the interaction of 1 with thionyl chloride followed by treatment with a base. On standing at 0° or 20°C it decomposes within hours and yields the unsymmetrical methylen-bis(triazol) 3a in addition to other products. However an acetonitrile solution of 3 is stable for months. Heating this solution with tertiary phosphines gives triazolylsubstituted phosphoniumsalts 6 to 8. The Wittig-Horner reaction with 4 to 6 gives the olefinically substituted triazols 9–12 as a Z/E mixture in high yield. Alkylation of 4 with methyl-and ethyl iodide gives the corresponding alkylated diethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-ethyl-1-and-propyl-1-phosphonates 14 and 15 which on hydrolysis with HCI yield 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-ethyl-1-and propyl-1-phosphonic acids 17 and 18, respectively. Hydrolysis of 4 gives the unsubstituted 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl-phosphonic acid, 16.     

Ultrasound-assisted one pot synthesis of polysubstituted meta-terphenyls using ring transformation strategy

An ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis of meta-terphenyls 9 by the carbanion-induced ring transformation reaction of 6-aryl-5-methyl-2H-pyran-2-ones 7 with functionalized ketones 8 under basic conditions at room temperature has been delineated.

Facile Derivatizations of Heptamethine Cyanine Dyes

Treatment of dye 3 with sodium methoxide, morpholine, or diphenylphosphine gives the respective substituted derivatives 4, 5 and 6 in high yields. The reaction of 3 with sodium acetate followed by workup affords ketone 7 which is also obtained by demethylation of a methoxy derivative 4 under non-hydrolytic conditions.     

The Effect of Very Bulky Groups on the Equilibrium of Penta- and Hexacoordinated Phosphoranes 1

The synthesis of dithio-diphenol 4 and sulfonyl-diphenol 5, both with very bulky groups, provided starting materials for reaction sequences that led to the formation of the very stable hexacoordinated phosphorane 2 and sensitive pentacoordinated phosphorane 3. Hexacoordination was established in 2 by an intramolecular donor interaction at the phosphorus center from an oxygen atom of the sulfonyl group present as part of the eight-membered ring. The solid state structures of 2 and 3 were established by X-ray analysis, as was that of phosphite 1 formed in the reaction sequence leading to 2. In solution, 2 has two forms existing in a dynamic equilibrium between a pentacoordinated and the more dominant hexacoordinated form as determined by ³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. The high stability of 2 with respect to hydrolysis and alcoholysis reactions suggests that an associative process is responsible as the controlling reaction mechanism.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Kohlensäurederivate, 3. Mitt.: Neue Synthesen von Tris(trimethylsilyl) cyanurat,N-Chlorsulfinylimid und Chlorcyan

Tris(trimethylsilyl)cyanurate (I) has been prepared in high yields by silylation of cyanuric acid with trimethylsilyl cyanide, as well as by the reaction of trichloroisocyanuric acid with trimethylsilyl cyanide or trimethylsilylsulfinylimide. The latter reactions, yielding Cl–CN and Cl–NSO resp. as the only by-products, are convenient methods for synthesizing these pseudohalogen-chloride compounds in a very pure state. Starting fromN-chlorocarbonyl isocyanateI is formed in high yields by a complex reaction with trimethylsilylsulfinylimide too. Based on IR, Raman and¹H-NMR data the O-silyl structure ofI was confirmed. The formation of products with N-silyl or N,O-silyl structure was never observed.

Facile Synthesis of Diethyl Azodicarboxylate and Diethylhydrazodicarboxylate via the Sequential Bromination and Hofmann-Type Rearrangement of Ethyl Allophanate

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) is a well-known coupling reagent that can be readily synthesized from diethylhydrazodicarboxylate (DEHD). The bromination of commercially available ethyl allophanate (1) in CHCl₃, followed by the Hofmann-type rearrangement reaction of the resulting N-brominated species 2 and 3 in C₂H₅OH in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU), gave DEHD in good yield from a one-pot process. Interestingly, however, the bromination and Hofmann-type rearrangement reactions did not occur in the presence of N(C₂H₅)₃. These results therefore suggest that this reaction is reliant upon a high level of reactivity during the bromination reaction to give 2 and 3, and that these N-brominated species require the presence of a strong and nonnucleophilic base to undergo the Hofmann-type rearrangement to give DEHD.     

A Convenient Route to (E)-α,β-Unsaturated Methyl Ketones

Aldehydes are converted into (E)-α,β-unsaturated methyl ketones in good yield and with a high E stereoselectivity using α,α-bis(trimethylsilyl) N-tert-butyl acetimine 3. The reaction was mediated by a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) under mild conditions. The disilylated reagent 3 is easily generated from N-tert-butylacetimine, lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), and chlorotrimethylsilane. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

Chromium(III) complexes bearing bis(benzotriazolyl)pyridine ligands: synthesis,characterization and ethylene polymerization behavior

Reaction of benzotriazole with 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine and 2,6-pyridinedicarbonyl dichloride yields the tridentate ligands 2,6-bis(benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (1) and 2,6-bis(benzotriazol-1-ylcarbonyl) pyridine (2). The molecular structures of the ligands were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These ligands react with CrCl₃(THF)₃ in THF to form neutral complexes, [CrCl₃{2,6-bis(benzotriazolyl)pyridine-N,N,N}] (3, 4), which are isolated in high yields as air stable green solids and characterized by mass spectra (ESI), FTIR spectroscopy, UV–Visible, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and magnetic measurements. After reaction with methylaluminoxane (MAO), the chromium(III) complexes are active in the polymerization of ethylene showing a bimodal molecular weight distribution. A DFT computational investigation of the polymerization reaction mechanism shows that the most likely reaction pathway originates from the mer configuration when the spacer is CH₂ (complex 3) and from the fac configuration when the spacer is CO (complex 4).     

Synthesis,in-vitro antibacterial and anticancer screening of novel nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrids utilizing piperazine citrate

Abstract

An efficient, low-cost, high yield% and eco-friendly synthetic procedure is designed for the synthesis of novel series of nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrid molecules bearing several aryl and/or heteroaryl moieties. Our strategy includes the synthesis of a novel series of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, bearing nicotinonitrile moiety, followed by its Knoevenagel reaction with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of an organo-base. The above reaction is studied in different reaction conditions. The optimized conditions are performing the reaction in ethanol at 80?°C in the presence of 10?mol% of piperazine citrate (1:1). The in-vitro antibacterial activities of the nicotinonitrile-coumarins were evaluated against different Gram-positive and negative bacterial strains. Moreover, the in-vitro cytotoxicity of nicotinonitrile-coumarins were estimated against different eukaryotic cell lines. Compounds 5a and 5b exhibited the most promising antibacterial agents among the novel series. The structures of novel series of the target nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrid molecules were confirmed by considering their elemental analyses and spectral data.
