Cyclization of ylidenemalononitriles. X. Synthesis of benzazapropellane derivatives from α-Cyano-β-chloroalkylcinnamonitriles

The reaction of nucleophilic and non-nucleophilic bases wtih 2-carbamoyl-3-(γ-chloropropyl)-1-indenone ( 5 ) have been investigated. Condensation of γ-chlorobutyrophenone with malono-nitrile afforded α-cyano-β-(3-ehloropropyl)cinnamonitrile which was cyclized in concentrated sulfurie acid to produce 5 . Two other products obtained from the cyclization reaction were 2-carbamoyl-3-(γ-ehloropropylidene)-1-indanone ( 4 ) and α-carbamoyl-β-(3-chloropropyl)cinnam-amide. Treatment of a solution of 4 in ethyl acetate with piperidine resulted in cyclization of the γ-chloropropyl side chain to give 2-carbamoyl-3-cycIopropyl-1-indanone. The same compound was obtained in improved yield by the treatment of 4 or 5 with sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction of dirnethylamine with 5 in benzene gave initial Michael addition of the amine followed by internal alkylation of the carbanion so formed to yield 3a-dimethylamino-2,3,3a,8-tetrahydro-8-oxoeyclopent[a]indene-8a(lH)earboxamide ( 7a ). Similarly addition of ammonia, pyrrolidine, piperidine, benzenethiol, p-toluenethiol, 2-naphthalenethiol and nitromethane to the indenone I gave respective analogs of type 7 . Treatment of 5 with sodium cyanide in aqueous t-butyl alcohol resulted in a similar Michael addition followed by internal alkylation. In addition, cyclization between the nitrile and the carbamoyl functions occurred in the same step to give 2-oxo-4-imino-7,8-benzo-3-aza[3.3.3]-propellan-6-one ( 13a ). Hydrolysis of the iminopyrrolido ring in 13a to the corresponding suecin-irnide gave 2,4-dioxo-7,8-benzo-3-aza[3.3.3]propellan-6-one ( 13b ). Reactión of 13b with methyl iodide, allyl bromide, benzyl bromide, and diethyluminoethyl chloride afforded the corresponding N-alkylated products. A similar sequence starling with δ-ehlorovalerophenone led to 5,6-fused ring systems, including a [4.3.3]propellane. 2,9-Dioxo-4-methyl-7,8-benzo-3-aza[4.3.3]propell-4-ene was obtained by the reaction of 5 with acetone in dilute alkali.     

Reactions of 8-methyl-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-3-thiabicyclo-[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one at the carbonyl group

The reduction of 8-methyl-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-3-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one with aluminum hydride, lithium tetrahydridoaluminate, or lithium tris(tert-butoxy)hydridoaluminate in tetrahydrofuran gave 8-methyl-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-3-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ol. 8-Methyl-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-3-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-6-ol was obtained by reduction of the title compound with sodium tetrahydridoborate in pyridine or dimethylformamide. The reaction of 8-methyl-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-3-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded the corresponding oxime.     

Synthesis of N-methyl-3-aza[10] paracyclophane: A rigid analog of phenethylamine

The synthesis of N-methyl-3-aza[10]paracyclophane is reported which represents the first example of this ring system being formed via an acyloin reaction. This 3-aza[10]paraeyclophane ring system behaves physiochemically inbetween the normal [9]- and [10]paracyclophane ring systems. Reductive desulfurization of N-methyl-3-aza[10]paracyclophane-6-ethylene thioketal in ethanol provides a small amount of the title compound and an unexpected, ring-opened product, N-ethyl-N-methyl-p-heptylphenethylamine. A possible mechanism for the ring-opening process is suggested.     

Isoquinoline derivatives VI. Synthesis and pharmacological properties of 4,6,7-substituted 1(2)-arylalkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and their analogs

The condensation of 6,7-dimethoxy-1,2.3.4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (II) with diphenylacetyl and diphenylpropionyl chlorides gave the corresponding amides (III). Reduction of III with lithium aluminum hydride converted them to tertiary amines IV, which were characterized as their hydrochlorides. The condensation of equimolecular amounts of amines I with the acid chlorides of substituted phenylacetic and diphenylpropionic acids gave amides V. The reduction of amides V with lithium aluminum hydride gave secondary amines VI. The corresponding tetrahydroisoquinolines (VII) were obtained by the cyclization of amides V and subsequent reduction with lithium aluminum hydride, The condensation of 1-diphenylethyl-6,7-dimethoxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with formalin gave VIII. The IR spectra of the synthesized compounds were examined. The effect of these compounds on the arterial blood pressure and the coronary blood flow was studied.See [1] for communication V.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1683–1687, December, 1971.     

The reduction and hydrolysis of some 7,7-diethylpyrazolo[1,2-a]-pyridazine-6,8(7H)dione derivatives

The chemistry of several of the Diels-Alder adducts formed by the reaction of 4,4-diethylpyrazoline-3,5-dione ( 1 ) with conjugated dienes was studied with respect to reduction (hydride and catalytic) and reaction with base. Reaction of the 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene adduct with lithium aluminum hydride followed by hydrogenation gave 1,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-cis-endo-6,7-dimethyl-2,2-diethylpyrazolo[1,2-a]pyridazine ( 11 ). Attempted conversion of this compound to 3,3-diethyl-cis-7,8-dimethyl-1,5-diazacyclononane ( 12 ) gave instead a compound which has been tentatively identified as N-(2,3-dimethyl-4-aminobutyl)-2-ethyl-2-methylbutanaldimine ( 14 ). Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 4,4-diethylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione ( 22 ) or the adducts formed from 1 and cyclopentadiene or 1,3-cyclohexadiene gave good yields of 4,4-diethylpyrazolidine ( 21 ). This later reduction gave a new and efficient synthetic route to the pyrazolidine ring system. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-ethano-2,2-diethylpyrazolo[1,2-a]pyridazine-1,3(2H)dione ( 26 ) followed by hydrogenolysis led to a high yield of 4,4-diethyl-2,6-diazabicyclo[5.2.2]undecane ( 28 ) which is the first reported example of this ring system. Reaction of several of the adducts with ethanolic potassium hydroxide resulted in the opening of the five-membered ring.     

Facile Preparation of 3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane and 3,7,10-Triheterocyclic [3.3.3]Propellane Ring Systems from 1,5-Diazacyclooctane 3,7-Derivatives(1)

The cyclodimerization of p-toluenesulfonamide and 3-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propene to prepare N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3,7-bis(methylene)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (1a) and its ozonation to the corresponding 3,7-dione 2a are reported. Unusual transannular cyclizations initiated by lithium aluminum hydride treatment or bromination of 1a and oxidative coupling of the dioxime derived from 2a are described. These reactions lead, respectively, to the following derivatives of the little-studied 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system: 1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (5), N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-bis(bromomethyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (8), and N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-dinitro-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, (12). Acid-catalyzed hydration of 1a, in contrast, gives the expected 5-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-1-ol (10). Reaction of the dibromide 8 with the nucleophiles, sodium sulfide, sodium oxide, and sodium p-toluenesulfonamide conveniently delivers the corresponding novel 3,7,10-triheterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes.     

Synthesis of 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine

The Claisen condensation of ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate with ethyl acetate gave ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylnicotinoylacetate, which was converted to 3-bromo-acetyl-6-niethyl-2-pyridone by heating with bromine in 48% hydrobromic acid. The cyclization of the bromoacetylpyridone by the action of silver oxide in methanol gave 3-oxo-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine, which was reduced to 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine with lithium aluminum hydride in dimethoxyethane. Acetylation of the latter gave its acetate, the pyrolysis of which in vacuo gave 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]-pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1544–1546, November, 1972.     

Reactions of 2-Amino-4-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)- and 2-Amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazoles with Aldehydes

The reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazole, obtained by treating 3-methyl-4-oxo-1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole with pyridinium bromide perbromide and then with thiourea, and 2-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazole with 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-dimethylamino-, 4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehydes, furfural, pyridinecarbaldehyde, and thiophenecarbaldehyde gave the corresponding Schiff bases. The products of the condensation of these aminothiazoles with cinnamaldehyde, 1-(2-pyridyl)- and 4-chloro-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-formyl-3-methyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles, 2-formyl-dimedone, and 2-formyl-1,3-indanedione were also obtained.     

Synthesis of 5,6-benzo-1,2-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane

5,6-Benzo-1,2-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane was synthesized by nitrosation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocinchoninic acid, reduction of the 1-nitroso derivative to 1-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocinchoninic acid, cyclodehydration of it to 3-oxo-5,6-benzo-1,2-diazabycyclo[2.2.2]octane, and reduction of the oxo group to a methylene group with lithium aluminum hydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1369–1371, October, 1970.

Dihydrothiazolopurines

Reaction of 1,2-dibromoethane with 2-mercaptoadenine gave both 4-amino-7,8-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-b]purine ( 2 ) and the isomeric 3,6,7,9-tetrahydro-9-iminothiazolo[3,2-a]purine ( 3 ). These tricyclic structures were identified by Raney nickel reduction to the corresponding 3- and 1-ethyladenines.     

Mannich reaction in a number of six-membered heterocyclic γ,-ketones. X. Stereochemistry of the reduction and phenylation of 2, 2-dimethyl-5-dimethylaminomethyl-4-oxotetrahydropyran

2, 2-Dimethyl-5-dimethylaminomethyl-4-oxotetrahydropyran was subjected to reduction with lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, aluminum isopropoxide, and lithium in liquid ammonia, to catalytic hydrogenation over Raney nickel, and phenylation with phenyllithium. The quantitative ratios in the resulting mixtures of stereoisomeric 2, 2-dimethyl-5-dimethylaminomethyl-4-hydroxytetrahydropyrans and their dependence on the character of the reducing agents were established by means of gas — liquid chromatography and PMR spectroscopy. The individual geometrical isomers of the amino alcohols were isolated, and their three-dimensional structures were studied by means of their PMR and IR spectra.See [1] for communication IX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 611–616, May, 1976.     

Synthesis and Structure of Derivatives of 9-(2-Oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azabicylo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones

A number of 3-R-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones was synthesized by Mannich reaction involving Yanovsky adduct of 2,4-dinitronaphthol. It was established by molecular spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis that the piperidine ring in these compounds was in the chairconformation with a diequatorial position of the substituent attached to the heteroatom and 2-oxo-propyl group, and the cyclohexenone fragment was in sofaform. By an example of 3-methyl-9-(2-oxopropyl)-1,5-dinitro-7,8-benzo-3-azsbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-one the dissociative ionization of bicyclononanes under the electron impact was investigated.     

Asymmetric synthesis and stereochemistry of chiral <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-3-alkyl-4-aminopiperidines

Chiral nonracemic 3-substituted cis- and trans-4-aminopiperidines, which are precursors of anilidopiperidine analgesics, were obtained by diastereoselective synthesis from 1-methyl- and 1-benzyl-4-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]iminopiperidines, using the following reaction sequence: metalation with lithium diethylamide, alkylation with alkyl halides, and hydride reduction or hydrogenation over Raney nickel. The steric direction of the reaction, three-dimensional structure, preferred conformation, and absolute configuration of the resultant aminopiperidines were determined.

All these Burley tobacco flavour components belong to a growing family of metabolites structurally related to solanone ( 1 ). They are believed to arise from the breakdown of cembrene-type precursors.     

Quaternary ammonium salts of bis-3-azatricyclo[5,3,0,11,5]undecane

The reaction of the anhydride of exo-cis-bicyclo[3,3,0]octane-2,4-dicarboxylic acid with ammonia followed by the reduction of the resulting imide with lithium aluminum hydride has yielded 3-azatricyclo[5,3,0,1^1,5]undecane, from which a number of quaternary bisammonium salts have been obtained with dihaloalkanes.
