Synthesis of 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides

5-Substituted 2-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides with the corresponding 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. 5-Methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chloride reacted with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides to give 3-aryl-5-(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Reactions of 4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides resulted in the formation of 3-aryl-5-[4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.     

Reaction of ethyl 4-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-1-chloro-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]-3,5-dimethyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole-2-carboxylate with hydrazines

Ethyl 4-[(E)-1-chloro-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate reacted with substituted hydrazines in different solvents to give mixtures of regioisomeric 3- and 5-substituted pyrazoles.

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.

In reactions of this acid chloride with 4-amino-5-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols were obtained ethyl 4-[(E)-2-{3-aryl(hetaryl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-yl}ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoe-3-carboxylates, with 5-aryltetrazoles, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, with 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) followed by the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement and the cyclization, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(6,8-dimethyl-4-oxo-4Hchromen-2-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate.

The hydrolysis of the latter in acid medium results in the preparation of 2-[3,4-bis(thienyl)-2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]-acetaldehydes. The obtained functionalized derivatives of maleimide demonstrate photochromic properties in solution.

2-(5-Methyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl)-4H-benzo[e]-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorin-4-one reacts with perfluorodiacetyl, 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone and phenanthrenequinone only with the participation of a three-coordinated phosphorus atom to form spirophosphoranes containing acyclic 5-methyl-2- phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl substituent, whereas the interaction with tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone proceeds via expanding the six-membered heterocycle to the nine-membered one to form 2-(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl)-2,9-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrachlorodibenzo[d,h]-1,3,8-trioxaphosphonine.     

Nitropyrazoles: XII. Transformations of the 4-Methyl Group in 1,4-Dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole and Cyclization of the Transformation Products

A preparative procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole by nitration of 1,4-dimethylpyrazole was developed. The reaction of 1,4-dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole with dimethoxymethyl- (dimethyl)amine (N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal) gave (E)-N,N-dimethyl-2-(1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol- 4-yl)ethenylamine. Acid hydrolysis of the latter afforded (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde, and the reaction with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid led to formation of 2-hydroxymino-2-(1-methyl- 3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde. The corresponding O-methyloxime and phenylhydrazone reacted with K₂CO₃ to give 6-methyl-4-nitropyrazolo[4,3-d]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde O-methyloxime and 1-methyl-3-nitro-4-(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyrazol-5-ol, respectively. Treatment of (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)-acetaldehyde with benzenediazonium chloride gave (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde phenylhydrazone which underwent intramolecular cyclization with replacement of the 5-nitro group by the action of K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile; in the reaction with K₂CO₃ in ethanol, the 5-nitro group was replaced by ethoxy.

Arylation of furan-2-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester with arenediazonium chlorides in the presence of copper(II) chloride gave the corresponding 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylic acids or methyl 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylates. 5-Arylfuran-2-carbonyl chlorides reacted with potassium thiocyanate and then with 5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-3-amine to give 5-aryl-N-[3-(2-oxopropyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl]furan-2-carboxamides as a result of recyclization of intermediate isoxazolylthiourea derivatives. The reactions of 5-arylfuran-2-carbonyl chlorides with 5-(2-furyl)-1H-tetrazole involved opening of the tetrazole ring with elimination of nitrogen molecule and led to the formation of 2-(5-arylfuran-2-yl)-5-(2-furyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. 3-Substituted 6-(5-arylfuran-2-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles were obtained by condensation of 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylic acids with 5-substituted 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols in phosphoryl chloride.     

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.

Reaction of 4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one with 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethaneamine led to the formation of 2-{2-[(Z)-1-benzamido-2-phenylvinyl]acetamidomethyl}benzimidazole that in a reaction with hexamethyldisilazane in DMF gave 5-benzylidene-1-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one. In the presence of K₂CO₃ in dioxane the reaction with hexamethyldisilazane resulted in the product of intramolecular addition, N-(4-benzyl-3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]-benzimidazol-4-yl)benzamide
