New tetradentate Schiff-base polymers: preparation of poly[2,5-(didodecyloxy)phenylene-1,4-diyl-alt-N,N-(o-phenylene)-bis(salicylideneiminato-4,4-diyl)] and poly[2,5-(didodecyloxy)phenylene-1,4-diyl-alt-N,N-(alkylidene)-bis(salicylideneiminato-4,4-diyl)]s

New tetradentate Schiff-base polymers, in which phenylene units alternate with salicylideneiminato units, have been prepared by condensation of 2,5-(didodecyloxy)-1,4-bis(3-formyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)benzene (DFHB) with appropriate diamines in a mixed solution of CHCl₃/toluene/acetic acid with 31-79% yields. DFHB as the key building block was prepared by the Suzuki reaction of 2,5-(didodecyloxy)benzene-1,4-diboronic acid with 5-bromosalicylaldehyde in a two-phase solution of tetrahydrofuran/water in the presence of NaHCO₃/Pd(PPh₃)₄ in 45% yield. The molecular structures of the prepared compounds were identified by spectroscopy. Their absorption spectroscopic profiles have been analyzed.     

On the syntheses and some reactions of bis- and tris(methylthio)thiophenes

Reaction between various thienyllithium derivatives and dimethyl disulfide has been used for the preparation of 2,5-, 2,3-, and 3,4-bis(methylthio)thiophenes, as well as 2,3,4- and 2,3,5-tris(methylthio)thiophenes. Bromination of (methylthio)thiophenes with N-bromosuccinimide was found to be most convenient for the preparation of brominated (methylthio)thiophenes such as 3-bromo-2,5-bis(methylthio)- and 5-bromo-2,3-bis(methylthio)thiophene, 3,4-dibromo-2,5-bis(methylthio)-, 2,5-dibromo-3,4-bis(methylthio)- and 2,3-dibromo-4,5-bis(methylthio)thiophene as well as 3-bromo-2,4,5-tris(methylthio)thiophene. The reaction of methylthio substituted thienyllithium derivatives with methyl chloroformate was used for the syntheses of methyl methylthio substituted thiophenecarboxylates and using 1/3 of an equivalent for the direct preparation of methylthio substituted 3-thienylcarbinols as tris[2,4,5-tris(methylthio)-3-thienyl]carbinol.     

Stereoselective synthesis of substituted piperazines

The treatment of allylarylamines with mercury(II) acetate in tetrahydrofuran followed by a double decomposition reaction with potassium bromide leads to trans-2,5-bis(bromomercuriomethyl)-1,4-diarylpiperazines (2). The stereochemistry of the reaction products has been elucidated by an ¹H-nmr spectroscopic study of the trans-2,5-dimethyl-1,4-diarylpiperazines (3) obtained by sodium borohydride reduction of 2 in alkaline media. The course of the reaction strongly depends on the steric demand of the groups attached to either the allylic group or the ortho-position in the aromatic ring of the starting amine (1).     

含二呋喃基苯并噻二唑的聚芳炔类衍生物的合成与性能

以四(三苯基磷)钯(Pd(PPh3)4)和CuI为催化剂,在二异丙胺和四氢呋喃溶液中,采用宽能带的1,4-二乙炔基-2,5-二(十二烷氧基)苯(PE)和窄能带的4,7-双(5′-溴-2′-呋喃)-2,1,3-苯并噻二唑(FBT)合成了一系列新型聚芳炔。长链烷氧基的存在使得此类聚合物在常用的有机溶剂中具有较好的溶解性和成膜性。通过对上述聚合物的紫外-可见吸收、荧光发射及循环伏安等基本性能进行探讨可知,随着共聚物中FBT含量的增加,共聚物薄膜的吸收起始波长及荧光发射波长均有明显的红移。聚合物薄膜的最大发射峰位于600～650 nm,聚合物中的能量能有效地由PE单元转移到FBT单元上。     

Synthesis of π-conjugated poly(arylene)s by polycondensation of 1,4-bis(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzene and aryl dibromides through regiospecific C-H functionalization process

On the basis of the Ru-catalyzed regiospecific direct double arylation of benzene rings possessing 3-methylpyridin-2-yl substituents to produce 1-aryl-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzene derivatives, the synthesis of poly(p-phenylene) derivatives having 2,5-bis(3-methylpyridin-2-yl) substituents is described. The reaction of 1,4-bis(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzene with bromobenzene (2 equiv) was carried out in the presence of [RuCl₂(η⁶-C₆H₆)]₂ (5 mol %) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 120°C for 24 h to produce 1,4-bis(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylbenzene in 99% yield as a sole product. Neither 2,6-diphenylated nor further phenylated products was produced under the examined conditions. This regiospecific double arylation process was then applied to the synthesis of π-conjugated polymers by use of aryl dibromides such as 1,4-dibromobenzene, 2,7-dibromo-9,9-dihexylfluorene, and 2,5-dibromothiophene. For example, a polymer was obtained in 73% yield by using 1,4-dibromobenzene, whose M_n and M_w/M_n were estimated to be 3300 and 1.51, respectively. The bathochromic shift of the ultraviolet (UV)–visible absorption spectrum with respect to that of the model compound, 1,4-bis(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylbenzene, indicated the extension of the π-conjugation. The blue fluorescence was also observed for the polymer upon the UV irradiation. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2018 , 56, 2771–2777     

Synthesis of 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide and 2H-1,4-thiazin-3-(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide,structural analogs of uracil

The synthesis of 1,4-thiazine 1-oxide and 1,1-dioxide analogs of the antibiotic emimycin is described. Reaction of methylthioglycolate with 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane gave methyl (2,2-diethoxyethylthio)acetate ( 2 ). Treatment of 2 with methanolic ammonia followed by cyclization furnished 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one ( 5 ). Oxidation of 5 with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid converted it to 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide ( 6 ). Oxidation of 2 with potassium permanganate, followed by treatment with methanolic ammonia, and cyclization gave 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide.     

New 7-substituted quinolone antibacterial agents. II. The synthesis of 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(pyrazolyl,isoxazolyl, and pyrimidinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine and quinolone-3-carboxylic acids

Synthetic methods for the construction of certain aromatic heterocyclic side chains for the quinolone anti-bacterials have been provided. In particular a series of 7-(pyrazol-3 or 4-yl, 4- or 5-isoxazolyl and 4- or 5-pyrimidinyl)-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine and quinoline-3-carboxylic acids have been prepared. All of the heterocycles were prepared from masked 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives of nalidixic acid ( 9,17 ) or 7-acetyl-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline carboxylic acids ( 8 ). These masked 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives were prepared by the use of t-butoxy-bis-dimethylaminomethane on the activated methyls of 9,19 and 8 . The pyrimidinyl analogs, substituted with a 2-amino or a 2-aminomethyl moiety, were the only derivatives with substantial antibacterial activity.     

Preparation of 1,1-disubstituted silacyclopentadienes

Several new 1,1-disubstituted siloles containing substituents on the ring carbon atoms have been synthesized. The new siloles: 1,1-dihydrido-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (5), 1,1-dihydrido-2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylsilole (6), 1,1-dimethoxy-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (7), 1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (8), 1,1-dipropoxy-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (9), and 1,1-dibromo-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (13) were prepared from reactions originating from the previously reported, 1,1-bis(diethylamino)-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenylsilole (1) or 1,1-bis(diethylamino)-2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylsilole (2). In addition, three other new organosilane byproducts were observed and isolated during the current study, bis(4-methoxyphenyl)bis(phenylethynyl)silane (11), bis(4-methoxyphenyl)di(propoxy)silane (12) and 1-bromo-4-bromodi(methoxy)silyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene (14). Compounds 13 and 14 were characterized by X-ray crystallography and 14 is the first 1,1-dibromosilole whose solid state structure has been determined.     

A New Protocol to Generate Catalytically Active Species of Group 4–6 Metals by Organosilicon-Based Salt-Free Reductants

Herein, we provide a new protocol to reduce various transition-metal complexes by using organosilicon compounds in a salt-free fashion with the great advantage of generating pure low-valent metal species and metallic(0) nanoparticles, in sharp contrast to reductant-derived salt contaminants obtained by reduction with metal reductants. The organosilicon derivatives 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-cyclohexadiene ( 1 a ), 1-methyl-3,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-cyclohexadiene ( 1 b ), 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene ( 2 a ), 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene ( 2 b ), 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene ( 2 c ), and 1,1′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1H,1′H-4,4′-bipyridinylidene ( 3 ) all served as versatile reductants for early transition-metal complexes and produced only easy-to-remove organic compounds, such as trimethylsilylated compounds and the corresponding aromatics, for example, benzene, toluene, pyrazine, and 4,4′-bipyridyl, as the byproducts. The high solubility of the reductants in organic solvents enabled us to monitor the catalytic reactions directly and to detect any catalytically active species so that we could elucidate the reaction mechanism.     

New approach to the synthesis of tetrazole-containing buta-1,3-diynes: The total synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne

An approach for the total synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne was reported. Developed approach to the synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne can be used for obtaining different 2,5-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)-disubstituted five-membered heterocycles (e.g. thiophenes, pyrroles, furans etc.), as well as tetrazole-containing monomers for the synthesis of new types of electroconductive and high energetic polymers.     

The Preparation of Dicompartmental Multifunctional Group Ligands

A convenient method for the preparation of the phenol-based ligands 1,6-bis(2-thiophenyl)-2,5-bis(2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-5-methylbenzyl)-2,5-diazahexane and 1,6-bis(5-methyl-2-thiophenyl)-2,5-bis(2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-5-methyl-benzyl)-2,5-diazahexane possessing two dissimilar compartments having multifunctional groups is reported. To synthesize these ligands, an equivalent of 1,6-bis(2-thiophene)-2,5-diazahexane or 1,6-bis(5-methyl-2-thiophene)-2,5-diazahexane and two equivalents of 2,2-dimethyl-6-methyl-8-(chloromethyl)benzo-1,3-dioxin were reacted in the presence of Na₂CO₃ in 1,4-dioxane, followed by acid hydrolysis of an acetonide-protecting group. Characterization data for the new compounds is reported.     

Synthesis of azoles based on N,N′-bis(hydrazinocarbonyl-ethyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine

N,N′-Bis[(1-methyl-3-oxobutylidene)hydrazinocarbonylethyl]-, N,N′-bis[(2,5-dimethylpyrrol-1-yl)carbamoylethyl]-, N,N′-bis(phenylureidocarbamoylethyl)-, N,N′-bis(phenylcarbamoyl)-, N,N′-bis(phenylureidocarbamoylethyl)-, and N,N′-bis[(4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)ethyl]-1,4-phenylene-diamines, and their thio analogs were obtained by the condensation of N,N′-bis-(hydrazinocarbonylethyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine with 2,4-pentanedione, 2,5-hexanedione, phenyl isocyanates, or phenyl isothiocyanates (with subsequent treatment of the obtained semicarbazides with alkali), and carbon disulfide respectively.     

Synthesis of 1,4-annulated cyclooctatetraenophanes based on a novel cubane building block approach

A general synthetic approach to strained 1,4-annulated cyclooctatetraene-based cyclophanes is described. A key feature in this approach is exploitation of the cubane core as a masked cyclooctatetraene synthon. Thus, 1,4-disubstituted cubanes 3 and 4 used as precursors to cyclooctatetraenophanes have been prepared in four steps from the readily available 1,4-cubanedicarboxaldehyde (5). The synthesis of 3 was effected by palladium/copper-mediated coupling of 1,4-bis[(Z,Z)-2-iodovinyl]cubane (6) and 1,4-bis[(Z,Z)-but-1-en-3-ynyl]cubane (8). For the synthesis of 4, on the other hand, modified Eglington-Glaser coupling was applied for the macrocyclization step. The general characteristic of Rh(I) to induce [2 + 2] cycloreversion of the cubane core to syn-tricyclo[4.2.0.0(2,5)]octa-3,7-diene followed by thermal rearrangement to cyclooctatetraene was applied as a key structural transformation toward targeted cyclooctatetraenophanes 1 and 2.     

Reactions of Perfluoro(5-aza-4-nonene) with Hydrazine and Some Its Derivatives

The reaction of perfluoro(5-aza-4-nonene) with hydrazine hydrate in tetrahydrofuran at 0-20°C in the presence of triethylamine yields 2,5-bis(heptafluoropropyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole; under similar conditions perfluoro(5-aza-4-nonene) reacts with arylhydrazines to form 1-aryl-3,5-bis(heptafluoropropyl)-1,2,4-triazoles.     

C(10)-methylation of steroidal synthesis intermediate BCD-tricyclic 9-en-5-ones

A literature survey indicated that stereospecific non-reductive β-face methylation at C(10) of steroidal synthesis intermediate BCD-tricyclic 9-en-5-ones had never been effected. An attempt to define the factors controlling the β/α product ratio in such alkylations was made. The course of methylation is significantly affected by the temperature. In the best case, methylation of the sodium enolate of 17 β-t-butoxy-19-(3,5-dimethyl-4-isoxazolyl)-deA-androst-9-en-5-one ( 18 ) in tetrahydrofuran at ? 78° gave a β/α product ratio of > 5:1. The reaction mixture contained no unalkylated or dialkylated materials, indicating that enolate exchange probably did not occur at this temperature. The 10β-methylated product 23 , isolated in 78% yield, was converted to Δ⁹(ll)-dehydrotestosterone ( 29 ). Compounds 23 and 29 are potential intermediates for the synthesis of 11-oxygenated steroids.     

新型邻菲啰啉衍生物的合成

以2-［2-（2-甲氧基乙氧基）乙氧基］乙基-4-甲基苯磺酸为原料,经2步反应制得中间体2,2′-【2,5-二｛2-［2-（2-甲氧基乙氧基）乙氧基］｝1,4-二（4,4,5,5-四甲基）-1,3,2-二氧硼基】苯（6）; 3-溴-1,10-邻菲啰啉和6经Suzuki偶联反应合成了一个新型的邻菲啰啉衍生物--3,3′-【2,5-二｛2-［2-（2-甲氧基乙氧基）乙氧基］｝-1,4-二（1,10-菲啰啉基）】苯,其结构经¹H NMR和MALDI-TOF-MS表征。     

Synthesis of soluble all-trans oligomers of 2,5-diheptyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene via olefin metathesis

In this paper we report on the synthesis of all-trans oligomers of 2,5-diheptyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene (2,5-diheptyloxy-PV) via olefin metathesis condensation of 2,5-diheptyloxy-1,4-divinylbenzene

1 The correct IUPAC name is 1,4-bis(heptyloxy)-2,5-divinylbenzene. The name 2,5-diheptyloxy-1,4-divinylbenzene is used in order to underline the structural similarity to 2,5-diheptyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene oligomers.

(2,5-diheptyloxy-DVB). The preparation of the monomer is also described. The Schrock type molybdenum alkylidene complex Mo(NPhMe₂)(CHCMe₂Ph)(OCMe[CF₃]₂)₂ was used as metathesis catalyst. The oligomer product obtained was characterized by means of ¹H NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography.     

Benzofurans. Improved syntheses of bufuralol, 7-ethyl-2-(2-tert-butylamino-1-hydroxyethyl)benzofuran,and 1″-oxobufuralol, 7-acetyl-2-(2-tert-butylamino-1-hydroxyethyl)benzofuran

An improved laboratory scale synthesis of bufuralol ( 1 ) and 1″-oxobufuralol ( 4 ) was accomplished. The intermediate benzofurans were prepared via aromatization of 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans or by a one-step acidcatalyzed cyclization from 2,2-diethoxyethyl 4-bromo-6-ethyl-2-formylphenyl ether ( 23 ). Base-catalyzed cyclization of 3-(5-bromo-3-ethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1.2-epoxypropane ( 16 ) provided the key intermediate, 5-bromo-7-ethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran ( 17 ). Selective functionalization of the C-2 and C-7 positions of the benzofuran ring system was accomplished to afford both 1 and 4 .     

Synthesis of acetylenic derivatives of 1,4-dioxane

Cyclic ketals — 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(4-penten-2-ynyloxy)-1,4-dioxane and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(3-phenyl-2-propynyloxy)-1,4-dioxane — were isolated in the reaction of propargyl alcohol with vinyl- and phenylethynylcarbinols in the presence of HgO-BF₃.O(C₂H₅)₂ catalytic system.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1029–1030, August, 1986.     

Synthesis of new 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted N-ethyl acetate and N-α-butyro-γ-lactone alkylimidazole derivatives as N-acylhomoserine lactone analogs

New alkylimidazoles functionalized with a homoserine lactone or an alkyloxycarbonyl moiety have been synthesized as N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) analogs. The 1,4-disubstituted imidazole derivatives were prepared by alkylation of 4(5)-alkylimidazoles with α-bromo-γ-butyrolactone or ethyl α-bromoacetate. An alternative route was preferred for the synthesis of their 1,5-disubstituted counterparts based on the use of a N₁-protected alkylimidazole, its alkylation to an N₃-imidazolyl-α-acetate and deprotection to the desired 1,5-disubstituted esters and subsequent alkylation of the acetate moiety with cyclic ethylene sulfate followed by acid-catalyzed cyclization. The ability to modulate bacterial quorum sensing of all new compounds was compared to that of previously reported AHL analogs in which the amide bond is replaced by a heterocyclic group.
