Ethynylation of 2-(furan-2-yl)- and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrroles with acylbromoacetylenes in the Al2O3 medium: relative reactivity of heterocycles

2-(Furan-2-yl)- and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrroles are readily ethynylated with acylbromoacetylenes in the solid Al₂O₃ medium (no solvent, room temperature, 1 h) to afford 5-(furan-2-yl)- and 5-(thiophen-2-yl)-2-acylethynylpyrroles in 39–74% yields. In the case of 2-(furan-2-yl)pyrroles, an alternative ethynylation of the furan ring takes place, the ratio of the furan and pyrrole ring ethynylation products being 1:5–7. No ethynylation of the thiophene ring as well as ethynylation of both heterocycles in a one molecule has been detected. Thus the reactivity of the heterocycles towards the ethynylation system (acylbromoacetylenes/Al₂O₃) falls in the order: pyrrole>furan>thiophene.     

Nitrile oxide cycloaddition routes to 2-(isoxazolyl)-benzoates and 2-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates

Cycloaddition of aromatic nitrile oxides to methyl o-vinylbenzoate produced methyl 2-(3-aryl-2-isoxazolin-5-yl)benzoates; the isoxazolines were converted to methyl 2-(3-arylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoates. Reaction of the nitrile oxide from o-methoxycarbonylbenzohydroximinoyl chloride ( 11 ) with phenylacetylene, styrenes, and aromatic nitriles resulted in methyl 2-(5-phenylisoxazol-3-yl)benzoate, methyl 2-(5-aryl-2-isoxazolin-3-yl)-benzoates ( 15 ), and methyl 2-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates, respectively. The isoxazolines 15 were converted to the corresponding isoxazoles 16 .

By recyclization of 2-R-6-ethyl-7-hydroxy(methoxy)-3-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)chromones when treated with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine, we synthesized 5-phenyl-2-(3-R-5-R1-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1H-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 2-(3-R-5-R1-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,3,4-thiadiazoles. We confirmed the structure of the latter from ¹H NMR spectra.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 781–787, May, 2005.     

Synthesis of 3-[4-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives as Biological Agents

A protocol for the synthesis of 3-[4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (5a–e) has been developed from 1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-2-bromoethanone (2),which served as a key intermediate for the synthesis of the title compounds. The reaction of compound 2 with thiourea furnished 4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine 3, which upon further reaction with various aromatic aldehydes, gave Schiff bases 4a–e. These Schiff bases, when treated with thioacetic acid in the presence of catalytic amount of anhydrous ZnCl₂, yielded thiazolidinone derivatives 5a–e. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectral data and screened for their antimicrobial and analgesic activity.
