Aminopentadiene imines from zincke salts of 3-alkylpyridines. Application to a synthesis of pyridinium salts from amino acids

The reaction of Zincke salts with primary amines to give pyridinium salts generally requires rather elevated temperature to go to completion (50-100 degrees C). It is shown that the addition of 1 equiv of a secondary amine allows formation, at ambient temperature, of intermediate aminopentadiene imine salts which can be isolated and were found to cyclize in acidic medium to give pyridinium salts at temperatures which do not exceed 50 degrees C. If this process has a tendency to give lower yields of pyridinium salt than the standard Zincke procedure, it can be advantageous in some cases, as illustrated by the synthesis of pyridinium salts from amino acids, a challenging reaction which does not work starting from Zincke salt in the absence of diethylamine. More generally, the reaction can be extended to primary amines featuring polar functions, as exemplified by a pyridinium salt synthesis (75 degrees C) in 55% yield from l-carnosine.     

Influence of the built-in pyridinium salt on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes catalysed by chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes

Chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes 1 with an N-benzoyl group and 2 with an N-isonicotinoyl group as well as the corresponding N-methyl (3) and N-benzyl (4) pyridinium salts of 2 were synthesized. The catalytic properties of 1–4 and 2 with excess CH₃I were explored to figure out the influence of the internal pyridinium salt in the catalyst on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes with NaClO/PPNO as an oxidant system in the aqueous/organic biphasic medium. The (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes with an internal pyridinium salt, either formed in situ or isolated, displayed higher activities than analogous complexes 1, 2 and Jacobsen's catalyst in the aforementioned reaction, with comparable high yields and ee values. The acceleration of the reaction rate is attributed to the phase transfer capability of the built-in pyridinium salt of the (salen)Mn(III) catalyst. The effect of the internal pyridinium salt on the epoxidation of substituted chromenes is similar to that of the external pyridinium salts and ammonium halides.     

Reactions of Zincke’s salts with 2,3-dimethylbenzothiazolium iodide

Reactions of 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride and 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)isoquinolinium chloride with 2,3-dimethylbenzothiazolium iodide in hot pyridine allows introduction of an aryl residue into the thiazole ring via intermolecular transformation of the pyridine ring of Zincke’s salts with participation of the methyl group in position 2 of the benzothiazolium salt.     

Synthesis of 3-substituted N-aminopyridinium salts

Ring opening of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chlorides with hydrazine followed by recyclization resulted in the formation of N-aminopyridinium salts. The scope of this reaction sequence was determined and several new 3-substituted N-aminopyridinium salts were prepared.

Reaction of Acetals with Various Carbon Nucleophiles under Non‐Acidic Conditions: C?C Bond Formation via a Pyridinium‐Type Salt

Mild substitution reactions of acetals with carbon nucleophiles via the pyridinium‐type salts generated by the treatment of acetals with TESOTf‐2,4,6‐collidine or 2,2′‐bipyridyl have been developed. Various carbon nucleophiles, such as organocuprates, silyl enol ethers, enamines, etc., reacted with the pyridinium‐type salts to give the corresponding substituted products in good yields. The reactions proceeded under very mild conditions (non‐acidic conditions) and thus acid‐sensitive functional groups can be tolerated during the reaction. In addition, only an acetal can form the pyridinium‐type salt and react with nucleophiles in the presence of a ketal. This unusual selectivity is in contrast to general methods conducted under acidic conditions.     

Pyridinium chlorochromate oxidation route to polyaniline

In this work, for the first time, pyridinium chlorochromate is used as an oxidizing agent inorder to oxidize aniline to polyaniline salts via an aqueous polymerization pathway in the presence of protic acids such as sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acid. The polymer samples were characterized by infrared, electronic absorption spectral, elemental analysis, conductivity, density and water absorption measurements. The results of the polyaniline salts prepared by pyridinium chlorochromate as an oxidizing agent were compared with that of the polyaniline salt prepared by ammonium persulfate. Generally, aniline is oxidized using ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent, which is unstable. In this work, pyridinium chlorochromate is used to oxidize aniline to polyaniline salt and the polymerization reaction could be completed in 30 min. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Intramolecular photocyclization of N-[(2-haloaryl)methyl]pyridinium and n-(arylmethyl)-2-halopyridinium salts

Various N-[(2-haloaryl)methyl]pyridinium, N-(arylmethyl)-2-halopyridinium and N-(2-halobenzyl)iso-quinolinium salts have been synthesized and their intramolecular photocyclization reactions studied. Upon irradiation the aqueous solution of N-[(2-haloaryl)methyl]pyridinium, and N-arylmethyl-2-halopyridinium salts 1, 2 were cyclized to give isoindolium salts. In contrast to the pyridinium salts 1, 2 , the aqueous solution of N-(2-halobenzyl)isoquinolinium salts 3 appear not to undergo photocyclization. N-Benzyl-2-chloropyridinium salts 1c is more reactive than N-(2-chlorobenzyl)pyridinium salt 1a in the photocyclization. N-(2-Chlorobenzyl)-2-chloropyridinium salt 1d is three times more reactive than 1c . A mechanism of π-complex formation of the halogen moiety of the pyridinium ring with the phenyl ring is suggested for the reactive pyridinium salt. The triplet energy of the isoquinolinium salts 3 is tool low to photocyclize.     

STUDIES ON BIPYRIDINIUM SALTS AND THEIR POLYMERS Ⅰ. SYNTHESIS OF 4, 4''-(1, 4-PHENYLENE-)BIS-[N-ALKYL (ARYL)-2, 6-DIPHENYL-] PYRIDINIUM SALTS AND THEIR POLYMERS FROM CORRESPONDING BIPYRYLIUM SALT*

The reaction of pyrylium salt with primary amine has been utilized to synthesize 4,4'-bipyri-dinium salts and pyridinium polymers. Seven new 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene-) bis-[N-alkyl(aryl)-2,6-diphenyl-] pyridinium perchlorates 4 and five corresponding bipyridinium polymers 5 were preparedwith good yields from 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene-) bis-(2,6-diphenyl-) pyrylium perchlorate 3. Preliminarytests have been made for their redox behavior and catalytic activity.     

Abtrennung quartärer Ammoniumverbindungen über zerlegbare Ionenpaarextrakte mit nachfolgender Identifizierung

Ion-pairs of quaternary ammonium salts with lipophilic anions may be extracted into an organic layer. By using such anions capable to loose their negative charge by protonization (pH shiftment), the ion-pair separated with the organic solvent will be split by treatment with aqueous acids. Of the substances investigated, 6-phenyl-2,4-dinitrophenol seems the most promising. Surplus volatile acid may be removed in vacuo, leaving the quaternary salt as residue. Identification is accomplished by UV spectra of the aqueos solutions and TLC. Interesting observations in the search for spray reagents were: the probable ion-pair nature of the “Dragendorff” complexes, colour reactions of quaternary pyridinium derivatives with potassium hexacyanoferrat(II), and dark spots given by quaternary salts with mercury(I) nitrate on alumina layers.     

Intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of six- and seven-membered cyclic N-allyl-C-arylethynyl iminium salts

N-Allyl-2-(het)arylethynyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridinium triflates 1c,d,e and N-allyl-2-(het)aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-azepinium triflates 1g,h undergo a thermal isomerization reaction leading to derivatives of [a,f]-annulated isoindolium salts 2 in good yields. Similarly, N-allyl-2-phenylethynyl-pyridinium triflate 4 is transformed into the condensed pyridinium salt 5. An intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, in which the (het)arylethynyl moiety acts as the 4pi component, is considered as the key step of this transformation. In contrast, the related N-allyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolium salts 1a,b and N-homoallyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridinium salt 1f undergo unspecific decomposition under thermal impact.     

咪唑[1,5-a]吡啶鎓盐的合成、表征及生物活性测定

Silver-Promoted Radical Ring-Opening/Pyridylation of Cyclobutanols with N-Methoxypyridinium Salts

The silver-promoted reaction of tertiary cyclobutanols with N-methoxypyridinium salts enables the efficient synthesis of a range of C2-substituted pyridines. The overall process likely occurs by ring-opening (via β-scission) of the cyclobutoxy radical to generate the corresponding γ-keto alkyl radical that itself adds to the pyridinium salt. A wide range of tertiary cyclobutanols and N-methoxypyridinium salts are compatible with the reaction conditions.     

Pyrano[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidinium salts

Reactions of 5-aryl- and 5,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts with hydrazine were studied. In the former case, the reaction products were the 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts. 5,7-Diarylpyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts were transformed into either the corresponding pyridinium salts or 1H-pyrimido-[5,4-d][1,2]diazepine-2,4(3H,9H)-diones, depending on the hydrazine concentration and the reaction time.

Charge-transfer interaction of some pyridinium salts with hen egg-white lysozyme

The charge-transfer interaction of pyridinium salts with lysozyme and L-tryptophan has been investigated by visible absorption, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Four quaternized and substituted pyridinium salts were used as electron acceptors. L-tryptophan was used as a model compound of electron donor for the purpose of the comparison with lysozyme. The binding constants obtained from absorption and circular dichroism spectra were 2.0–13 M^–1 and the sequence of the magnitude was found as EPCl(1-ethylpyridinium chloride) < MPCl(1-methylpyridinium chloride) < MNCl(1-methylnicotinamide chloride) < MNMCl(1-methyl-3-carbomethoxypyridinium chloride), which could be explained by the electron affinity of the pyridinium salt. The fluorescence spectra of lysozyme and L-tryptophan in the absence and presence of pyridinium salts were interpreted by Stern-Volmer plot. The static constants thus determined were in agreement with the binding constants obtained by other methods.     

Cyanopyridines. Synthesis and Recyclization of Their Quaternary Salts

3-Cyanopyridines containing an acetyl, ester, nitro, or cyano group in the 5-position were synthesized via various versions of the Hantzsch reaction. Recyclization of quaternary pyridinium salts by the action of aqueous-alcoholic alkali afforded 2-methylaminopyridine derivatives and 6-methylamino-3-nitro-2,4-diphenylbenzonitrile.     

Hydride transfer from 1,4-dihydropyridines to pyridinium salts: Assessment of structural and energetic factors with hantzsch ester derived compounds

Hydride exchange occurs between 3,5 - di(alkoxycarbonyl) - 1,4 - dihydropyridines and their corresponding pyridinium salts. For the case of 1,2,6 - trimethyl - 3,5 - di(ethoxycarbonyl) - 1,4 - dihydropyridine in the presence of the structurally corresponding pyridinium perchlorate, hydride is transferred to the 4-position of the pyridinium salt in a reversible “blind” reaction as revealed by deuterium labeling experiments and to the 2,6-positions irreversibly to afford 1,2,6 - trimethyl - 3,5 - di(ethoxycarbonyl) - 1,2 - dihydropyridine as final product. Removal of the methyl groups at the 2,6-positions, i.e. 1 - methyl - 3,5 - di(methoxycarbonyl) - 1,4 -dihydropyridine and its structurally corresponding pyridium perchlorate, causes hydride transfer to become completely reversible. Substitution of the 4-position with Me, i.e. 1,2,4,6 - tetramethyl - 3,5 - di(methoxycarbonyl) -1,4- dihydropyridine and its corresponding pyridinium perchlorate leads to cessation of hydride transfer: the same is true for the analogous 4-phenyl (and substituted phenyl) compounds. However, these 1,4-dihydropyridines are capable of transferring hydride at reasonable temperatures to less highly substituted pyridinium salts. Activation parameters for some of these hydride transfers have been determined, mechanistic conclusions are presented, and the consequences of these observations for experiments with “model” NADH compounds are discussed.     

Reactions of isoquinoline derivatives with pyridinium salts yielding 4-naphthylpyridines

Regiospecific introduction of the 2-naphthyl residue into position 4 of the pyridine ring occurs in the reactions of isoquinolinium salts with 4-methylpyridinium salts through the intermolecular transformation of the isoquinoline bicyclic system involving the methyl group of the pyridinium salt. The reaction occurs under the action of methylammonium sulfite in an aqueous medium on heating. This method provides ring transformation not only for isoquinolinium salts but even for unsubstituted isoquinoline.     

Over one century after discovery: pyrylium salt chemistry emerging as a powerful approach for the construction of complex macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules

Over one century after its discovery, pyrylium salt chemistry has been extensively applied in preparing light emitters, photocatalysts, and sensitizers. In most of these studies, pyrylium salts acted as versatile precursors for the preparation of small molecules (such as furan, pyridines, phosphines, pyridinium salts, thiopyryliums and betaine dyes) and poly(pyridinium salt)s. In recent decades, pyrylium salt chemistry has emerged as a powerful approach for constructing complex macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules. In this perspective, we attempt to summarize the representative efforts of synthesizing and self-assembling large, complex architectures using pyrylium salt chemistry. We believe that this perspective not only highlights the recent achievements in pyrylium salt chemistry, but also inspires us to revisit this chemistry to design and construct macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules with increasing complexity and desired function.

This perspective summarizes the representative efforts of synthesizing and self-assembling large, complex architectures using pyrylium salt chemistry.     

Synthesis of dimeric pyridinium bromide under silica supported approach

Abstract

Synthesis of dimeric substituted ester derivative of pyridinium salt with flexible linker units under conventional/silica supported approach. Solid-phase approach is much superior to the conventional method due to nontoxic, solvent free, easy work up procedure, and lesser reaction period. Synthesized dimeric ester derivative of pyridinium salts is showed excellent catalytic response for the preparation of oxizinone derivatives under conventional/approach.
