Picryl derivatives of benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bistriazole and benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bistriazole-4,8-dione

In a previous communication from this laboratory it was reported that benzotriazole reacts with both picryl chloride and picryl fluoride to give 1-picrylbenzotriazole exclusive of any 2-picrylbenzotriazole (3). As an extension of this study we have examined the reactions of benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bistriazole (I) and benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bistriazole-4,8-dione (II) with picryl fluoride.     

Picryl derivatives of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one

Treatment of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 1 ) with picryl fluoride (PkF) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) gave a mixture of a monopicryl and a dipicryl derivative of 1 in a ratio of 2 :1 , respectively, regardless of the initial concentrations of 1 and PkF. The products were identified as 5-nitro-2-picryl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 2 ) by X-ray crystallography and 5-nitro-2,4-dipicryl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 4 ) by ¹⁵N labeling experiments.     

Imidazo[1,2-α]pyridine anthelmintics. Synthesis of 6-phenylaminoimidazo[1,2-α]pyridine-2-carbamate and 5-acylaminopyridines by a chapman rearrangement

The title compound, a potential anthelmintic agent, was prepared in seven steps from 5-hydroxy-2-picoline. The intermediate 5-(N,-phenylbenzamido)-2-picoline was prepared by a facile Chapman rearrangement of the corresponding benzimidoyl ester. Oxidation and Curtius rearrangement of the substituted picoline gave 5-(N-phenylbenzamido)-2-aminopyridine which underwent ring closure and debenzoylation to furnish methyl 6-phenylaminoimidazo[1,2-α]pyridine-2-carbamate. Fries rearrangement of the penultimate N-benzoyl derivative gave a 6-(p-benzoylphenylamino)imidazo[1,2-α]pyridine derivative, whose structure was confirmed by cmr study. The title compound lacked significant anthelmintic activity.

The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of spectral data and alternate synthesis whenever possible.     

Theoretical prediction of Ni(I)-catalyst for hydrosilylation of pyridine and quinoline

Catalytic synthesis of dihydropyridine by transition-metal complex is one of the important research targets, recently. Density functional theory calculations here demonstrate that nickel(I) hydride complex (bpy)Ni^IH (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) 1 is a good catalyst for hydrosilylation of both quinoline and pyridine. Two pathways are possible; in path 1, substrate reacts with 1 to form stable intermediate Int1 . After that, N³─C¹ bond of substrate inserts into Ni─H bond of 1 via TS1 to afford N-coordinated 1,2-dihydroquinoline Int2 with the Gibbs activation energy (ΔG°^‡) of 21.8 kcal mol⁻¹. Then, Int2 reacts with hydrosilane to form hydrosilane σ-complex Int3 ; this is named path 1A. In the other route (path 1B), Int1 reacts with phenylsilane in a concerted manner via hydride-shuttle transition state TS2 to afford Int3 . In TS2 , Si atom takes hypervalent trigonal bipyramidal structure. Formation of hypervalent structure is crucial for stabilization of TS2 (ΔG°^‡ = 17.3 kcal mol⁻¹). The final step of path 1 is metathesis between Ni─N³ bond of Int3 and Si─H bond of PhSiH₃ to afford N-silylated 1,2-dihydroproduct and regenerate 1 (ΔG°^‡ = 4.5 kcal mol⁻¹). In path 2, 1 reacts with hydrosilane to form Int5 , which then forms adduct Int6 with substrate through Si–N interaction between substrate and PhSiH₃. Then, N-silylated 1,2-dihydroproduct is produced via hydride-shuttle transition state TS5 (ΔG°^‡ = 18.8 kcal mol⁻¹). The absence of N-coordination of substrate to Ni^I in TS5 is the reason why path 2 is less favorable than path 1B. Quinoline hydrosilylation occurs more easily than pyridine because quinoline has the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital at lower energy than that of pyridine. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

An efficient synthesis of chiral isoquinuclidines by Diels-Alder reaction using Lewis acid catalyst

The Diels-Alder reaction of 1,2-dihydropyridine derivatives (1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 1 or 1-methoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 4) with N-acryloyl (1S)-2,10-camphorsultam (1S)-2 {or N-acryloyl (1R)-2,10-camphorsultam (1R)-2} in the presence of Lewis acid, such as titanium tetrachloride, zirconium tetrachloride, and hafnium tetrachloride afforded the endo-cycloaddition product, 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity. The absolute stereochemistry assignment of the endo-cycloaddition product (1S)-5a starting from N-acryloyl (1S)-2,10-camphorsultam (1S)-2 has been established to be (1S,4R,7S) and the reaction mechanism was proposed.

The starting compounds 8 were prepared by treating 2-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones N-alkyl substituted 7a,b or N-phenyl substituted 4 with excess anhydrides (130°, 7 hours) when the 2-(alkylamino) derivatives 7 were used in the reaction, compounds 8 were obtained along with very small amounts of 3-acyl-2-(alkylamino)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 .     

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XX. Synthesis of trifluoromethyl derivatives of fused imidazole systems

A series of heterocyclic compounds having an imidazole ring fused with another ring with a bridgehead nitrogen atom and bearing a trifluoromethyl moiety was synthesized by reaction of 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone with various heteroarylamines. In some cases, an intermediate compound obtained together with the required product was isolated and its structure was elucidated: e.g., starting from 2-aminopyridine we have obtained 2-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and 2-hydroxy-2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo [1,2-a]pyridinium bromide. Such results confirmed the mechanism previously proposed for this reaction.     

Acetylenchemie. 9. Mitt. Anellierte imidazole aus N-propinylamid-vorstufen

The Compound 2-(N-Formyl-N-prop-2′-inyl)aminopyridine was cyclised in boiling formic acid to 3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, with 3-methylene-2H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine as the intermediate. Under similar conditions the 1,3-diprop-2-inylpyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4-dione resulted from 1-methylimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-4-carbonic acid-N-2-prop-2′-inylamide and from the 1-prop-2′-inylbenzo[b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-one the 1-methylbenzo[b]imidazo[1,2,3-ij]naphthyridine-4,7-dione as a new ring system, was obtained.     

Reductive mono- and diallylation of the bis(pyridine)dihydropyridyllithium dimer by triallylborane

Reductive allylation of the bis(pyridine)dihydropyridyllithium dimer containing the 1,2- and 1,4-dihydropyridine fragments by triallylborane results mainly in trans- and cis-2,6-diallylpiperidines (60—85%), their ratio depending on the nature of the solvent. The minor reactions products are 2-allyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and 4,10-diallyl-3,9-diazatricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodecane. The unexpected formation of the latter is due to hetero-Diels—Alder condensation of intermediate products formed in the allylboration of dihydropyridines. The stereochemistry of trans- and cis-2,6-diallylpiperidines was determined from the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the respective N,N-dimethylpiperidinium iodides. The structure of 4,10-diallyl-3,9-diazatricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodecane dipicrate was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Enantio- and Regioselective Copper-Catalyzed 1,2-Dearomatization of Pyridines

A copper-catalyzed dearomative alkynylation of pyridines is reported with excellent regio- and enantioselectivities. The synthetically valuable enantioenriched 2-alkynyl-1,2-dihydropyridine products afforded are generated from the readily available feedstock, pyridine, and commercially available terminal alkynes. The three-component reaction between a pyridine, a terminal alkyne, and methyl chloroformate employs copper chloride and StackPhos, a chiral biaryl P,N- ligand, as the catalytic system. Under mild reaction conditions, the desired 1,2-addition products are delivered in up to 99 % yield with regioselectivity ratios up to 25 : 1 and enantioselectivities values of up to 99 % ee. Activated and non-activated terminal alkynes containing a wide range of functional groups are well tolerated. Even acetylene gas delivered mono-alkynylated products in high yield and ee. Application of the methodology in an efficient enantioselective synthesis of the chiral piperidine indolizidine, coniceine, is reported.     

Naphth[1,2-d]oxazole intermediates in the preparation of 3-hydroxy-4-(1-alkyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxy-4-pyrazolyl)-azo-1-naphthalenesulfonamide dyes

Acylation of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid ( 3 ) with benzoyl chloride in pyridine gave pyridinium 3-hydroxy-4-(N-benzoylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonate ( 12 ) which was converted by thionyl chloride followed by diethylamine into N,N-diethyl-2-phenylnaphth[1,2-d]oxazole-5-sulfonamide ( 14 ). The naphthoxazole moiety was hydrolyzed with potassium hydroxide and the resulting N,N-diethyl-4-amino-3-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonamide ( 11 ) coupled with 1-alkyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones. The 2-phenylnaphth[1,2-d]oxazole intermediates and various by-products were investigated.     

Perhalogenmethylmercapto-heterocyclen,IX (perchlormethylmercapto)- und (perfluormethylmercapto)pyridine

Methods of substituting pyridine by perhalogenomethylmercapto groups are discussed. The side chain chlorination of 2-(methylmercapto)pyridine leads gradually to 2-(trichloromethylmercapto)pyridine hydrochloride ($\text{1a}$) and 2-(trichloromethylmercapto)pyridine ($\text{1b}$). Neither a direct reaction of pyridine with CF₃SCl nor the way over a Grignard reaction or a sulfenylcarboxylate lead to CF₃S-substituted products. Reactions of pyridine and bromopyridines with Hg(SCF₃)₂ yield 1:1-adducts ($\text{2a-d}$) only. Lithium tetrakis(1,2-dihydro-1-pyridyl)aluminate (LDPA) reacts with CF₃SCl to give 3-(trifluoromethylmercapto)pyridine ($\text{3}$); in addition a disubstituted product can be identified massspectroscopically. ¹H- and ¹⁹F-NMR-spectra are reported.

The ten possible substitution patterns for N-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 5 in which one or two olefinic sites are alkyl substituted were synthesized and reacted with N-phenylmaleimide 2 to provide cycloadducts 6. N-Ethoxycarbonyl-5,6-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 51 provided the novel spirocycle 61.     

Synthesis and reactions of 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine

A reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1 H)-thione followed by alkylation of the resulting 3-acetylpyridinethione, or a direct reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine, afforded 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine. The ketone obtained was examined in bromination reactions under various conditions. Bromi-nation in methanol or chloroform, proceeding through the formation of sulfonium bromides, gave substituted 3-(bromoacetyl)pyridine. A reaction of 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methyl-thio)pyridine with N-bromosuccinimide in CCl4 afforded N-(pyridinesulfenyl)succinimide. The bromo ketone was used for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds.
