On triazoles. V. Synthesis of 1- and 2-R1-3-R2,R3-amino-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles

The correct isomeric and tautomeric structure of different 1- and 2-R¹-3-R²,R³-amino-5-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives prepared from the corresponding N-cyano-N'-R²,R³-S-methyl-isothioureas and the corresponding hydrazines was proved with the help of their ir, uv, ¹H-nmr and ¹³C-nmr spectra as well as the uv spectra of the Schiff bases of an isomeric pair.     

2-(2-pyridyl)-3-thioindan-1-one: Synthesis,tautomerism, and complexing properties

Chelate and molecular complexes of 2-(2-pyridyl)-3-thioindan-1-one were prepared. The structure of the ligand (prevalent tautomeric form), including the coordination mode, was proved by ¹H NMR, IR, and EXAFS spectroscopy and by quantum-chemical calculations. The soft-hard properties of the ligand were demonstrated.     

NMR spectra of Δ3- and Δ4-pyrrolin-2-one

The spectra of Δ³- and Δ⁴-pyrrolin-2-one were analysed and the sign of all the coupling constants determined by tickling and triple resonance experiments. A positive allylic interaction (J_xz in 2 ) is reported and four-bond couplings are discussed in particular. Deuterium exchange affords evidence for the tautomeric equilibrium between 1 and 2 .     

Structural tautomerism of 4-acylpyrazolone schiff bases and crystal structure of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-{1-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylidene}-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one

The Schiff base derivatives prepared from 4-acetyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one and alkyl amines are shown to remain exclusively in the amine-one(I) tautomeric form in chloroform solutions at room temperature using a combination of ¹H, ¹³C, APT, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC NMR spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-{1-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylidene}-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one showed that this 4-acylpyrazolone Schiff base stays in the amine-one(I) form in the solid state as well, and the solid state structure supports the fact that strong hydrogen bonding between amine hydrogen and the pyrazolone C₃ carbonyl oxygen helps to stabilize the amine-one(I) tautomer.     

Structure of 1-aryl-3-alkyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazans

The isomeric and tautomeric structures of 1-aryl-3-alkyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazans in solutions were investigated by means of NMR, IR, and electronic spectroscopy. It is shown that the nature of the solvent and the alkyl substituent in the 3 position affects the ratio of the Z and E isomers relative to the C=N bond of the azohydrazone chain. An increase in the length of the alkyl substituent in the 3 position leads to preponderance of the Z isomer in solution, while branching stabilizes the Z configuration with an N²...HN⁵ intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB), regardless of the solvent. The nature of the solvent has a significant effect on the ratio of the amino and imino tautomeric forms of the E isomers. The benzothiazolylhydrazone form predominates in CHCl₃, while the tautomer with a benzothiazolidene fragment is the major form in DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 834–839, June, 1993.     

Tautomeric behavior of 3-(α-arylhydrazono)methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines between hydrazone imine and diazenyl enamine forms

3-(α-Chlorophenylhydrazono-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 4a-d and 3-(α-chlorophenylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 5a-c have been clarified to exhibit the characteristic tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine form C and the diazenyl enamine form D with a long-range prototropy by means of the pmr and ¹³C-nmr spectroscopies.     

Addition-rearrangement reactions of 5-imino-Δ3-1,2,4-thiadiazolines with trichloroacetonitrile

The reactions of 2-alkyl-3-phenyl-Δ³-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-5-imines 5a,b with trichloroacetonitrile at room temperature yield rearranged products, which are shown by ¹ H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy to exist in two tautomeric structures 6 and 7 .     

Substituent effects on the tautomer ratios between the hydra-zone imine and diazenyl enamine forms in 3-(arylhydra-zono)methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines. Correlation of the hammett constants σp with the tautomeric equilibrium constants KT

The 3-(arylhydrazono)methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 1a-e and 2a-i showed tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine A and diazenyl enamine B forms in dimethyl sulfoxide media. The sub-stituent effects on the tautomer ratios of A to B in compounds 1a-e and 2a-i were studied by the nmr spec-troscopy. The electron-donating or electron-withdrawing p-substituents R¹ in compounds 2a-i represented a tendency to increase the ratios of the tautomer A or the tautomer B , respectively, exhibiting the linear correlation of the Hammett constants σ_p (-0.17 to +0.78) with the tautomer ratios of A to B or the tautomeric equilibrium constants K_T. However, the presence of the ester group R² in compounds 1a-e induced the exclusive existence of the tautomer A regardless of the nature of the p-substituents R¹. In the tautomeric thermodynamic study, the elevating temperature increased the ratios of the hydrazone imine tautomer A in compounds 2a-i . The tautomeric thermodynamic parameters ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were derived from the van't Hoff plots for compounds 2a , b , h , i , wherein the entropy term dominated the free-energy difference between the A and B tautomers.     

Ultrasound- and microwave-assisted synthesis of (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones and (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones,and their antimicrobial activity

Series of new (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones and (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones have been efficiently prepared via the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde and 2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde, respectively, with aryl methyl ketones under conditions of ultrasound and microwave irradiation. Structures of the products have been confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectroscopy, as well as by elemental analysis. Evaluation of the in vitro antibacterial activity against bacterial (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli) and fungal (Aspergillus niger and Candida metapsilosis) strains has revealed good antimicrobial activity of some of the tested compounds.     

Reaction of Barbituric, 2-Thiobarbituric Acids and Their Derivatives with 2-Carboxybenzaldehyde and Opianic Acid: Synthesis and Tautomerism of 5-(3'-Oxo-1',3'-dihydroisobenzofuran-1'-yl)barbituric Acids and Their 2-Thio Analogs

The reaction of barbituric, N-alkylbarbituric acids, and their 2-thio analogs with carboxybenzaldehyde and 2-carboxy-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde leads to the formation of the corresponding 5-(3'-oxo-1',3'-dihydroisobenzofuran-1'-yl)barbituric and 2-thiobarbituric acids, the structures of which were studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. In DMSO the derivatives of barbituric acid exist in the form of mixtures of the ketone and enol tautomers, while their 2-thio analogs exist in the enol form. In chloroform the tautomeric equilibrium is displaced fully toward the ketone form.     

Tautomerism of aza cycles: II. Synthesis and structure of 5-substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazoles and their salts. Preference of the 1H,4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazolium tautomers

New complexing agents, potentially tautomeric 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, its 5-methyl-and 5-phenyl-substituted analogs, and some their salts, were synthesized, and their structure was discussed on the basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR, and mass spectra, X-ray diffraction data, and published data. In keeping with the rule formulated previously for N-unsubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles having dissimilar substituents, the synthesized compounds were found to exist as 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-5-R-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomers (3-R_A-5-R_D-1H-1,2,4-triazoly). They are protonated at the nitrogen atom in position 4 of the triazole ring. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of these compounds in trifluoroacetic acid suggest the presence of two forms due to equilibrium between the neutral and protonated species. Analysis of the crystallographic data for the triazolium salts and published data showed preference of the 1H,4H-1,2,4-triazolium tautomer.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of 2-{[(2-Oxo-1H-quinolin-8-yl)oxy]methyl}-Substituted α-Methylidene-γ-butyrolactones

O-Alkylation of 8-hydroxy-1H-quinolin-2-one ( 1 ) afforded 8-(2-oxopropoxy)-1H-quinolin-2-one ( 2 ) which was immediately cyclized to form the tricyclic 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-5H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzoxazine,-5-one ( 3). The Reformatsky-type condensation of 3 furnished antiplatelet 8-[(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-methylidene-5-oxofuran-2-yl)melhoxy]-1H-quinolin-2-one ( 4 ). Its counterparts 7a – f , Ph-substituted at C(2) of the furan ring, were obtained from 1 via alkylation and the Reformatsky-type condensation. Although compound 4 was less active against platelet aggregation than 7a – f , it was the only compound which exhibited significant inhibitory activity on high-K⁺ medium, Ca²⁺-induced vasoconstriction and was more active than most of its Ph-substituted counterparts against norepinephrine-induced vasoconstrictions.     

Features of synthesis and structure of ethyl (2<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis>)-3-hydroxy-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorophenyl)-propyl-2-enoate

The structure of key intermediates in the synthesis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics: diethyl (2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl)malonate and ethyl (2Z)-3-hydroxy-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorophenyl)prop-2-enoate was for first time studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ¹H, ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. In solution both the esters were shown to exist as a mixture of enol and ketone tautomeric forms with predominance of the latter. According to the XRD analysis, ethyl (2Z)-3-hydroxy-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorophenyl)prop-2-enoate in the solid state exists entirely in the enol form.     

Copper complexes of 1-[(2-carboxyethyl)benzene]-3-[2-pyridine]triazene

The triazenide, 1-[(2-carboxyethyl)benzene]-3-[2-pyridine]triazene (HL), has been synthesized. In the presence of Et₃N, the reaction of HL with Cu(OAc)₂·H₂O or CuCl₂·2H₂O gives the tetranuclear copper(II) complexes {Cu₄(L)₂(μ₂-OH)₂(OAc)₄} 1 and {Cu₄L₄(μ₄-O)Cl₂} 2, respectively. The X-ray crystal structures of both complexes have been obtained. Magnetic studies indicate significant antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper(II) centers for both complexes, with coupling constants (J) of −493.4 cm⁻¹ for 1 and −165 cm⁻¹ for 2.     

Umsetzungen von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit Barbitursäure-Derivaten

Reactions of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirines with Barbituric-Acid Derivatives The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1 ) and 5,5-disubstituted barbituric acids 5 in i-PrOH at ca. 70° gives 2-[5-(dimethylamino)-4,4-dimethyl-4H-imidazol-2-yl]alkanamides of type 6 in good yields (Scheme 1). The formation of 6 proceeds with loss of CO₂; various reaction mechanisms with a zwitterionic 1:1 adduct B as common intermediate are discussed (Schemes 2 and 5). Thermolysis of product 6 leads to 2-alkyl-5-(dimethylamino)-4,4-dimethyl-4H-imidazoles 8 or the tautomeric 2-alkylidene derivatives 8 ′ via elimination of HNCO (Scheme 3). The latter undergoes trimerization to give 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione. No reaction is observed with 1,5,5-trisubstituted barbiturates and 1 in refluxing i-PrOH, but an N-alkylation of the barbiturate occurs in the presence of morpholine (Scheme 4). This astonishing reaction is explained by a mechanism via formation of the 2-alkoxy-2-(dimethylamino )aziridinium ion H which undergoes ring opening to give the O-alkylated 2-amino-N¹,N¹-dimethylisobutyramide I as alkylating reagent (Scheme 4).     

Synthesis and properties of substituted [3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]acetonitriles

Alkylation of 3-substituted 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles with chloroacetonitrile gave hitherto unknown N-cyanomethyl derivatives whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Condensation of substituted [3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]acetonitriles at the activated methylene group with acetone led to the formation of new 3-methyl-2-triazolylbut-2-enenitrile derivatives.     

A H, C and N NMR spectroscopic and GIAO DFT study of ethyl 5-oxo-2-phenyl-4-(2-phenylhydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate

¹⁵N-Labelled ethyl 5-oxo-2-phenyl-4-(2-phenylhydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate was synthesized by azo-coupling of diazotized aniline (using Na¹⁵NO₂ , 99% ¹⁵N) with ethyl 4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-2-phenyl-(1H)-pyrrole-3-carboxylate. The product was formed as a tautomeric hydrazone mixture as confirmed by ¹³C and ¹⁵N chemical shifts, and was obtained as a mixture of E and Z isomers according to ⁿJ(¹⁵N, ¹³C). A comparison of the ¹H NMR data with GIAO DFT calculations enabled determination of the configuration of the carboxy ester group in both isomers.

A series of new (E)-1-{2-[(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}-3-(3-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones (3a–3i) has been synthesized via copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) of benzyl azide with substituted (E)-3-(3-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-[2-(prop-2-ynyloxy)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-ones (2a–2i). The synthesized compounds have been characterized by their IR, ^lH, ¹³C NMR spectra, and mass spectroscopy data. All the compounds have been screened for antimicrobial activity.     

New 1H-1-alkyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-7-phenylazo-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles through regioselective alkylation of 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-7-phenylazopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles

1H-1-Alkyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-7-phenylazopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles (2aa-ad) were obtained by regioselective alkylation of 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-7-phenylazopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles (2a). 1H-1-Alkyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-7-phenylazopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles 2aa and 2ab were also prepared by coupling phenyldiazonium chloride with 1H-1-alkyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles 1aa and 1ab. The new compounds were characterized by IR, UV-VIS, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and ¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy and their structures and actual tautomeric forms were established unequivocally.      

Zum Mechanismus der α-Alkinon-Cyclisierung: Synthese und Thermolyse von 1-(1-Methylcyclopentyl)[3-13C]prop-2-inon

On the Mechanism of the α-Alkynone Cyclization: Synthesis and Thermolysis of 1-(1-Methylcyclopentyl)[3-¹³C]prop-2-ynone The relative migratory aptitude of two acetylenic substituents in the α-alkynone cyclization, a thermal conversion of α-acetylenic ketones A to 2-cyclopentenones C , was investigated by isotope-labeling experiments. The α-alkynone [β-¹³C]- 1 , specifically labeled with ¹³C at the β-acetylenic C-atom C(3), was synthesized by an intramolecular Witting reaction (230–300°) of the diacylmethylidenephosphorane [¹³C]- 7. The latter resulted from acylation of methylidenetriphenylphosphorane with the acid chloride 4 to yield the acylmethylidenephosphorane 5 , which in turn was formylated with acetic [¹³C]formic anhydride ([¹³C]- 6. ) Upon thermolysis of [β-¹³C]- 1 , its label at C(β) was transferred almost exclusively to C(β) of the 2-cyclopentenone moiety in the resulting cyclization product [¹³C]- 2. We conclude that there is a distinct preference for hydrogen migration in the acetylene → alkylidene carbene isomerization (A → B) which precedes the cyclization step (B → C). No evidence was found for a fast reversibility of this isomerization (A ? B) involving both acetylenic substituents.
