Si3S-, Si3Se-, Si3Te-Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and Si3S2-Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

The reaction of trisilirene 1 with propylene sulfide or elemental sulfur produced Si₃S-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 2, which underwent Si–Si insertion of a second S atom forming Si₃S₂-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane 3. Analogous reactions of 1 with elemental Se or Te resulted in the formation of heavier analogues of 2, namely, Si₃Se-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 4 and Si₃Te-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 5.

Synthesis and Characterization of [1,2,4,6]Thiatriazino[2,3-a][1,3]benzimidazol-1(2H)-one and [1,3,5]Thiadiazino[3,4-a][1,3]benzimidazol-2-imine

Abstract

The reaction of thionyl chloride with amidines 2, derived from N-benzimidazol-2-yl imidates 1, leads to [1,2,4,6]thiatriazino[2,3-a][1,3]benzimidazol-1(2H)-one 3 in good yields. [1,3,5]Thiadiazino[3,4-a][1,3]benzimidazol-2-imine 4 was prepared by condensation of NaSCN with benzimidazol-2-yl imidate 1. The isolated compounds 3 and 4 were identified by spectroscopic methods including IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR as well as elemental analyses and MS of 3d and 4b.

A Facile Synthesis of 3H-Benzo[1,2]Dithiole-3-Thiones and Their Condensation with Active Methylene Compounds

Abstract

3H-Benzo[1,2]-dithiole-3-thiones were prepared from potassium sulfide and 2-halobenzaldehydes in moderate-to-good yields, and a plausible mechanism for this catalyst-free intramolecular heteroannulation reaction has been proposed. The Knoevenagel condensation reactions of 3H-benzo[1,2]dithiole-3-thiones with active methylene compounds such as ethyl 2-cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate, and the three-component one-pot reactions of potassium sulfide, 2-halobenzaldehydes, and ethyl 2-cyanoacetate, affording the corresponding products, have been developed.

The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analysis.

One-Pot Green Synthesis of 3'-(2-Aminobenzimidazolyl)-2-Phenyl Spiro[4H-Benzopyran-4,2'-Thiazolidin]-4-Ones and Acylation Using Trifluoroacetic Anhydride

Abstract

An expeditious one-pot synthesis of a novel heterocyclic system, 3′-(2-aminobenzimidazolyl)-2-phenyl spiro[4H-benzopyran-4,2′-thiazolidin]-4-ones, has been accomplished by condensing substituted hydrazinobenzimidazole, flavanone, and mercaptoacetic acid by conventional heating in ethanol or toluene, and in an ionic liquid, viz., 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Excellent yields (85%–90%) and higher purity are obtained in the ionic-liquid-mediated synthesis as compared with the conventional procedure (55%–60%). Further, these compounds were acylated with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectral data, and elemental analysis. The compounds, upon evaluation for their antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activities, exhibited excellent results.

Efficient Uncatalyzed Conversion of Primary and Secondary Thioamides into 1-Substituted, 5-Substituted, 1, 5-Disubstituted and Annulated Tetrazoles

Abstract

Unprecedented high-yield simple and mild conversion of primary aliphatic and aromatic thioamides into 5-substituted tetrazoles on treatment with a combination of tetrachlorosilane and sodium azide in refluxing acetonitrile has been achieved. Secondary acyclic, cyclic, and heterocyclic thioamides could also be transformed in high yields into 1-substituted, 1,5-disubstituted, or annulated tetrazoles under the same reaction condition.

Reaction of 1-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-Triazole-4-Carbonyl Chlorides/Isothiocyanates with 3-Amino-5-Methylisoxazole

Abstract

1-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides were selected as starting materials for the Boulton–Katritzky rearrangement. When 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole was acylated by 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides, 1-aryl-5-methyl-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamides 5 were obtained and no further rearrangement occurred. On the other hand, when 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides were first converted into isothiocyanates by the reaction with KSCN and then were allowed to react with 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole 4 in one pot, intermediate thioureas were formed and spontaneously transformed in statu nascendi into 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives 6.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New 5-(3-Chloro-1-Benzothiophen-2-YL)-1,3,4-Oxadiazole-2-Thiol and Their Derivatives

Abstract

3-Chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbonylchloride 1 was made to reacts with hydrazine hydrate afforded 3-chloro-1-benothiophene-2-carbohydrazide 2 in good yield. 5-(3-chloro-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol 4 was synthesized from 3-chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbohydrazide 2. Mannich bases, alkyl halide, and acid chlorides derivatives were then prepared. Compound 4 on condensation with chloroacetone in the presence of NaOH as base and ethanol as solvent gave 1-{[5-(3-chloro-1-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl}propan-2-on 6. Condensation of compound 6 with various aromatic aldehydes afforded a series of chalcones 7a–h. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data and have been screened for antibacterial activity.

Reaction of Red Phosphorus with 4-Methoxystyrene in KOH-DMSO System: One-Pot Synthesis of Tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane Oxide

Abstract

Red phosphorus reacts with 4-methoxystyrene in the KOH-DMSO superbase system (130 °C, 3 h, Ar) in the presence of a small quantity of H₂O to give tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane oxide as the main product in 30% yield. Microwave activation of the reaction (600 W, 6 min) affords basically a mixture of the phosphane oxide and tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane (in a ratio of 1:1). When the mixture is exposed to air (r.t., 24 h), the phosphane oxide is formed in 85% yield.
