A new reaction for the direct conversion of 4-azido-4-deoxy-D-galactoside into a 4-deoxy-D-erythro-hexos-3-ulose

[reaction: see text] A new one-step reaction has been developed for converting 4-azido-4-deoxy-d-galactoside into 4-deoxy-d-erythro-hexos-3-ulose by phosphoramidites and tetrazole. It is proposed that the new reaction proceeds via an intramolecular Staudinger reaction of the phosphite intermediate and a tetrazole-catalyzed elimination reaction of the resultant phosphorimidate. Tetrazole appears to be playing a unique role by acting as a bifunctional catalyst to facilitate the elimination reaction.     

Reactions of 4-ethoxyflavylium, 4-ethoxychromylium,and 4-ethoxyfurochromylium salts with several amines

The reactions of 4-ethoxyflavylium, 4-ethoxychromylium, and 4-ethoxyfurochromylium salts in acidic media with several acids were investigated. In the reaction with hydrazine the furochromylium salt forms pyrazole, whereas both α,β-substituted benzopyrylium salts are converted to azines. The reaction of hydroxylamine with the flavylium salt gives a flavone oxime, whereas the reaction with the furochromylium salt gives an isoxazolylbenzofuranol.     

Synthesis of 4-fluororesorcinol and 4-trifluoromethylresorcinol

Less expensive, safer, and easily scaled-up methods for the synthesis of 4-fluororesorcinol and 4-trifluoromethylresorcinol have been established, including two methods to give the former compound. One involves the reaction of Selectfluor™ reagent with 1,3-dimethoxybenzene to give 2,4-dimethoxy-1-fluorobenzene followed by hydrolysis to give 4-fluororesorcinol. The overall yield of this two-step reaction is 54%. In the second case, when Selectfluor reagent is reacted directly with resorcinol, under the best reaction conditions, 4-fluororesorcinol is obtained in 66% yield. It is, however, very difficult to separate the starting material from the mono- and difluororesorcinol products. Consequently, the two-step method is the method of choice to prepare 4-fluororesorcinol. The trifluoromethyl group was incorporated into 2,4-dimethoxy-1-iodobenzene to form 1,3-dimethoxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzene followed by mild hydrolysis to give 4-trifluoromethylresorcinol. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The reaction of 1,3-disubstituted thioureas with formaldehyde under acidic conditions with removal of water yielded 3,5-disubstituted tetrahydro-4H-1,3,5-oxadiazine-4-thiones. When hydrogen sulfide was bubbled through the reaction mixture, the corresponding tetrahydro-4H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-thiones were formed. Similarly, starting from 1,3-disubstituted ureas, a number of tetrahydro-4H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-ones were prepared. The latter compounds were also oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones.     

Synthesis of new 1-substituted 4-(2-phenylquinazolin-4-yl)-and 4-(2-phenylquinazolin-4-ylidene) thiosemicarbazides

Two new 1-substituted 4-(2-phenylquinazolin-4-yl)-and 4-(2-phenylquinazolin-4-ylidene) thio-semicarbazides were formed by a multistep domino reaction of imidoyl isothiocyanate derivative with 1,1-di-R-hydrazine in acetone solution. Application of hydrazine hydrate under the same reaction conditions afforded 4-(2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-ylidene)-2-(propen-2-yl)-1-(propan-2-ylidene) thio-semicarbazide via a six-step triple-component domino reaction.

Synthesis of 4H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-onium salts and 4-H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-ones

Salicylamide and its substituted derivatives react with aliphatic carboxylic acid anhydrides and perchloric acid to give 4H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-onium salts. These same compounds were obtained by acidic cyclization of O- and N-acylsalicylamides. The synthesized salts are converted to 2-substituted 4H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-ones by the action of triethylamine and are hydrolyzed by water to N-acylsalicylamides. The probable reaction scheme is examined.     

Synthesis and Reactions of 4-cis- and 4-trans-Hydroxy-2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-trans-decahydroquinolines

By treating 2e-methyl-4-oxo-trans-decahydroquinoline with lithium acetylide a mixture of stereoisomeric 4-cis-hydroxy-2e-methyl- and 4-trans-hydroxy-2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-trans-decahydroquinolines was obtained in 3:2 ratio. Their reaction with acetonitrile in the presence of sulfuric acid (Ritter's reaction) results in a mixture of stereoisomeric 4-cis-acetylamino-2e-methyl- and 4-trans-acetylamino-2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-trans-decahydroquinolines in the same ratio. The ethynyl group of alcohols synthesized is not hydrated under conditions of Kuchrerov's reaction. The boiling of the alcohols with formic acid furnished a mixture of 4-acetyl-2e-methyl and 2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-1,2,3,6,7,8,9,10-octahydroquinolines in 1:7 ratio. The former of these compounds under conditions of Ritter's reaction yielded a mixture (1:1.4) of stereoisomeric 4-acetyl-4-trans-acetylamino- and 4-acetyl-4-cis-acetylamino-2e-methyl-trans-decahydroquinolines. From 2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-1,2,3,6,7,8,9,10-octahydroquinoline under the same conditions were obtained both already mentioned stereoisomeric 4-acetylamino-2e-methyl-4-ethynyl-decahydroquinolines (53% of cis-isomer and 35% of trans-isomer in the mixture) and 4-acetyl-4-acetylamino-2e-methyldecahydroquinolines (7% of cis-isomer and 5% of trans-isomer).     

Synthesis of 4-azafluorene derivatives based on 9-(3,6-diphenylpyridazin-4-yl)-4-azafluorene

The reaction of 9-(3,6-diphenylpyridazin-4-yl)-4-azafluorene with n-butyl acrylate under conditions of the Michael reaction affords the product of the condensation at the methine group. When sterically hindered esters of methacrylic, crotonic, and cinnamic acid are utilized, the condensation does not occur, and the main reaction product under these conditions is 9-hydroxy-(3,6-diphenylpyridazin-4-yl)-4-azafluorene. The supposition concerning the existence of its conformers (rotamers) with different orientation of the diphenylpyridazinyl ring in relation to the azafluorene fragment was expressed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1508–1511, November, 1993.

Bildung von 5,6-Dihydro-1,3(4H)-thiazin-4-carbonsäure-estern aus 4-Allyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-onen

Formation of Methyl 5,6-Dihydro-l, 3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxyiates from 4-Allyl-l, 3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones . The reaction of N-[1-(N, N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-1-methyl-3-butenyl]benzamid ( 1 ) with HCl or TsOH in MeCN or toluene yields a mixture of 4-allyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one ( 5a ) and allyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl sulfide ( 11 ; Scheme 3). Most probably, the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-thiones B are intermediates in this reaction. With HCl in MeOH, 1 is transformed into methyl 5,6-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxylate ( 12a ). The same product 12a is formed on treatment of the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one 5a with HCl in MeOH (Scheme 4). It is shown that the latter reaction type is common for 4-allyl-substituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones.

Tributylphosphine Catalyzed O -Vinylation of 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4 H -pyran-4-one

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates produced in the reaction between tributylphosphine and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4 H -pyran-4-one leads to vinyltributylphosphonium salts, which undergo an addition-elimination reaction in CH 2 Cl 2 at room temperature to produce dimethyl 2-[(2-methyl-4-oxo-4 H -pyran-3-yl)oxy]-2-butenedioate (1:1 mixtures of E and Z isomers) in fairly good yields.     

Time-Dependent Differential and Integral Quantum Yields for Wavelength-Dependent [4+4] Photocycloadditions

The [4+4] photocycloaddition of anthracene is one of most relevant photoreactions and is widely applied in materials science, as it allows to remote-control soft matter material properties by irradiation. However, highly energetic UV irradiation is commonly applied, which limits its application. Herein, the wavelength dependence of the photodimerization of anthracene is assessed for the first time, revealing that the reaction is induced just as effectively with mild visible light (410 nm). To fully establish [4+4] cycloadditions within defined chemical environments, a conceptual framework for the solution kinetics of the photo-dimerization up to long reaction times is established by developing a novel photoreaction rate law that is dependent on individual rate coefficients of the key reaction steps. These coefficients can be determined based on low conversion photochemical experiments. Both differential and integral quantum yields can subsequently be predicted that are strongly time-dependent, highlighting the need for a detailed reaction pathway analysis. The presented approach simplifies a complex photochemical scenario, making the photochemical anthracene dimerization, or potentially any other photochemical dimerization, amenable to a time-dependent understanding at the elementary reaction level.     

Improved procedure for the oxidative cleavage of olefins by OsO4-NaIO4

[reaction: see text] Oxidative cleavage of olefins by OsO(4)-NaIO(4) sometimes suffers from low yields due to the formation of side products. It is found that the addition of 2,6-lutidine can suppress the side reactions and dramatically improve the yield of this classic reaction.

A reaction of 2-iodophenol and 2-iodoanisole with 1-adamantanol in trifluoroacetic acid gives the corresponding 4-(1-adamantyl) derivatives. Similar adamantylation of 4-iodophenol and 4-iodoanisole is accompanied by migration of the iodine atom from para- to ortho-position, giving 4,6-di(1-adamantyl)-2-iodophenol and 4-(1-adamantyl)-2-iodoanisole, respectively, as the reaction products.
