4-(5-aryl-2-oxazolyl)phthalic anhydrides

4-(5-Aryl-2-oxazolyl)-substituted phthalic anhydrides were synthesized from 4-chloroformylphthalic anhydride and various -aminomethyl aryl ketones. The spectral-luminescence properties of solutions of the products in toluene and 5% NaOH solution were investigated. It is shown that the introduction of substituents with different electronic natures in the 5-phenyl ring of 4-(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl) phthalic anhydride has a significant effect on the spectral-luminescence characteristics of the synthesized compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 35–37, January, 1979.     

Bromination and Azidation Reactions of 2-Styrylchromones. New Syntheses of 4(5)-Aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles

The bromination of 2-styrylchromones, bearing electron neutral substituents, with two molar equivalents of piridinium tribromide gave 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones and 3-bromo-2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones. The presence of electron-donating substituents on their B ring led to a mixture of compounds due to the higher reactivity of their C(2)=C(3) and C=C double bonds, whereas the strongly electron-withdrawing group hindered the bromination. The dehydrobromination of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones with triethylamine gave a diastereomeric mixture of (E)- and (Z)-2-(-bromostyryl)chromones. Some novel 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles have been obtained from the reactions of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones, 2-(-bromostyryl)chromones, and 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide. The reactions of 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide are more efficient, general, and constitute a one-pot synthetic method of 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles allowing the preparation of 1,2,3-triazoles bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in their aryl ring. The structure of all new compounds was established by extensive NMR spectroscopic studies.

Synthesis of 4-substituted 1-methyl(benzyl)-2,5-dimethyl-4-R-aminopiperidines

Schiff base derivatives of 1-methyl(benzyl)-2,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-ones with phenyl, -pyridyl, benzyl, and -hydroxyethyl substituents attached to the imine nitrogen atom react with organometallic compounds to give analogously substituted piperidine bases with methyl, allyl, phenyl, and benzyl substituents in the 4-position. Pure individual geometric isomers of these newly synthesized compounds have been isolated and their structures determined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 954–958, July, 1987.     

Electronic structures and electrophilic substitution in 2-(4-R-2-quinolyl)thiophenes and 5-(4-R-2-quinolyl)-2,2′-dithienyls

The electronic structures and reactivity indexes (RI) of 2-(4-R-2-quinolyl)thiophenes and 5-(4-R-2-quinolyl)-2,2-dithienyls (R = H, COOH, COOC₂H₅, and NHCOCH₃) and their protonated forms were calculated by the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) method. The peculiarities of the geometrical and -electron structures were established. The calculated reactivity indexes are compared with experimental data on the electrophilic substitution reactions of the investigated compounds. A qualitative agreement between the calculated values and the experimental data was established. It is shown that quinoline derivatives of thiophene are less reactive than the corresponding dithienyl compounds in electrophilic substitution reactions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 751–754, June, 1979.     

Synthesis, structural elucidation and biological activities of organotin(IV) derivatives of (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoic acid

A new series of di- and tri-organotin(IV) compounds with the general formula R_4?n SnL _n , where R?=?Me (1,2), Et (3), n-Bu (4,5), n-Oct (6), Ph (7) and L?=?(E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoate, were synthesized by reaction of silver salt of ligand or ligand acid with diorganotin dichloride/oxide and triorganotin chloride in 2:1 and 1:1 molar ratio, respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic results revealed that all the diorganotin(IV) compounds possess trigonal bipyramidal structures in solution and octahedral geometry in the solid state around the tin atom. A linear polymeric trigonal bipyramidal structure in the solid state and a tetrahedral environment around the tin atom in non-coordinating solvents has been proposed for the triorganotin(IV) compounds. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms to assess their biocidal activity. These studies revealed that ligand acid and some of its organotin compounds show promising activity against different strains of bacteria and fungi but lowered than reference drugs.     

4-(5-aryl-2-oxazolyl)benzenesulfonic acid derivatives containing a dimethylamino group

Condensation of 4-chlorosulfonyl- and 4-fluorosulfonyl-benzoyl chlorides with p-dimethylamino--aminoacetophenone followed by cyclodehydration of the resulting amides leads to the formation of 4-(5-dimethylaminophenyl-2-oxazolyl)benzenesulfonyl halides, and the corresponding sulfonic ester, sulfomorpholide, sulfonamide, and sodium salt are synthesized from them. The spectral and luminescence properties of the compounds synthesized have been studied in toluene, ethanol, and DMF. The ability of the sulfonyl group to transmit the electronic effects of the substituents on it to the overall molecular -electron system of 2,5-diaryloxazole has been demonstrated. Salvation fluorochromia has been detected in polar solvents. In some of the compounds studied the Stokes shift exceeds 200 nm.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 234–237, February, 1993.

The compounds obtained fluoresce intensively in liquid organic solvents and in polymeric matrices and have increased photostability.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1245–1247, September, 1982.     

Structure of 4-anilinopiperidine analgesics. I. The structure of the 2:1 solvate of 1(e)-(2-phenethyl)-2(e),5(a)-dimethyl-4(e)-(N-propionylanilino)-piperidine bisulfate monohydrate with cyclohexanone

An x-ray diffraction structural analysis was carried out using Cu radiation with 2975 reflections, 64° to R=0.073 for the bisulfate of the major component of the narcotic analgesic, phenaridine (1-(2-phenethyl)2,5-dimethyl-4-(N-propionylanilino)-piperidine citrate). The crystals studied obtained from cyclohexanone are a double solvate containing 1/2 randomly disordered cyclohexanone molecule and one water molecule per formal salt unit. The unit cell parameters for the monoclinic crystals are as follows: a=15.231(2), b=14.946(2), c=13.070(2) Å, -104.23(1)°, space group P2₁/c, Z=4. The methyl groups in the compound studied occupy the 2-equatorial and 5-axial positions relative to the piperidine ring. Taking account of the equatorial positions of the substitutents at the 1- and 4-positions of the piperidine ring, the compound designated should be designated the rel-(1R,2R,4S,5R) isomer. The cation has an extended conformation with ordinary geometric parameters. The relative arrangement of the pharmacophoric groups in the cation (benzene rings A and F, piperidine ring D, and the amide fragment) is similar to that for the groups in T-shaped morphine-like molecules.Institute of Fine Organic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR.

Molekulare Verbindungen mit SiAl4-, SiAl3- und GeAl4-Einheiten: Synthese und Struktur von Si(AlCl2 · OEt2)4, Ge(AlCl2 · OEt2)4 und HSi(Cp*AlBr)3

Molecular Compounds containing SiAl₄, SiAl₃, and GeAl₄ Units: Sythesis and Structure of Si(AlCl₂ · OEt₂)₄, Ge(AlCl₂ · OEt₂)₄, and HSi(Cp*AlBr)₃ In the scope of our investigations of the reactivity and the potential for synthesis of solutions of Al^I halides we performed reactions between these solutions and SiCp or GeCp, respectively. From these reactions we could isolate an unusual cluster with a central Al₁₄Si unit, described elsewhere, and the compounds Si(AlCl₂ · OEt₂)₄, Ge(AlCl₂ · OEt₂)₄, and HSi(Cp*AlBr)₃, which will be presented and discussed here. In these species the Si respectively the Ge atoms are connected to 4 respectively 3 Al atoms. This bonding results in strong negative polarized Si/Ge centres. The change of the polarization with respect to “normal” Si–R or Ge–R linking leads to a drastic weakening of the Si–R respectively the Ge–R bonds.     

Stereoselective synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted tetrahydropyrans from <Emphasis Type="Italic">syn</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">anti</Emphasis>-1-R-2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methylhex-4-en-1-ols and some chemical transformations of the products

Tri- and tetrasubstituted tetrahydropyranes fused to one and two heterocycles with various functional groups (COOEt, Br, MeC=CH₂) were synthesized in stereoselective fashion by reactions of syn- and anti-1-R-2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methylhex-4-en-1-ols (R = Bu, PhCH₂) with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, aldehydes in the presence of boron trifluoride–diethyl ether complex (Prins reaction), and salicylaldehydes in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate and p-toluenesulfonic acid. The obtained compounds were brought into Suzuki coupling with thiofen-2-ylboronic acid, hydrolysis, and reduction of the ester group with lithium tetrahydridoaluminate. The resulting carboxylic acid was converted to carboxamide, and the alcohol was oxidized to aldehyde which was converted to oxime. The steric configuration of substituents remained unchanged in all chemical transformations.     

Alkyl 2-(2-benzothiazolylsulfinyl)acetates as useful synthetic reagents for alkyl 4-hydroxyalk-2-enoates by sulfinyl-Knoevenagel reaction

Isopropyl, ethyl, and methyl 2-(2-benzothiazolylsulfinyl)acetates have been found to be useful synthetic reagents for sulfinyl-Knoevenagel reaction with various aldehydes to give directly the corresponding 4-hydroxyalk-2-enoates [R′CH(OH)CHCHCO₂R], which are ubiquitous structures in biologically active natural products and useful building blocks for organic synthesis of chiral compounds. From the optically pure (R)-2-(2-benzothiazolylsulfinyl)acetates (>99% ee) prepared by the enzymatic kinetic resolution of (±)-2-(2-benzothiazolylsulfinyl)acetates, optically active 4-hydroxyalk-2-enoates (up to 91% ee) have been obtained in good yields.     

2-(4-Biphenylyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles: synthesis and mesogenic studies

A series of 2-(4-biphenylyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles bearing alkyl or alkoxy substituents at the 4? position, and a hydrogen, or alkyl substituent (linear, branched, fluorinated or functionalised) at the 5 position were synthesised and characterised (51 compounds). Their mesogenic properties were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. Results show that substitution of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring for a terminal benzene ring in a conventional p-terphenyl enriched the mesogenic properties. Most of the new oxadiazole compounds exhibit either monotropic or enantiotropic smectic A mesophases with widths ranging from 3 to 50°C. A few compounds (short tailed) exhibit nematic phases and some compounds with branched or fluorinated alkyl substituents at the 5 position are also mesogenic.

The key step involves the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefin (3).

Ring-chain isomerization of 2-substituted 3-hydroxy-3-(4-dimethyl-aminophenyl)isoindolinones

N-Unsubstituted and N-monosubstituted amides of 2-(4-dimethylaminobenzoyl)benzole acid exist in the chain form of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones in the crystalline state and in solutions in dioxane, whereas the tautomeric amide hydroxyisoindolinone equilibrium occurs (except for the methyl derivative) in more polar solvents. The analogous N-(1-adamantanyl)amide exists in the open form and does not undergo cyclization under alkaline catalysis conditions; protonation of the dimethylamino group is accompanied in all cases by splitting out of water to give compounds with a quinoid structure; an equilibrium between the protonated and quinoid forms, which is shifted markedly to favor the latter, is observed for some compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 780–785, June, 1979.

Synthesis of isomeric 3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins and their S-methylated derivatives. Molecular and crystal structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoin and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one

Three procedures were used for the synthesis of -, , and -pyridyl-substituted (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins: the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin with the corresponding aldehyde in AcOH in the presence of AcONa, the two-step one-pot synthesis with the use of the same starting compounds, and three-component condensation of aryl isothiocyanate, glycine, and aldehyde in AcOH. Alkylation of the resulting thiohydantoins with iodomethane in the presence of a base afforded the corresponding S-methylated derivatives, viz., 2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones. The structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thioxoimidazolin-4-one and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Some N-methyl-N-(4-chloro-1-phthalazinyl)hydrazones

N-Methyl-N-(4-chloro-1-phthalazinyl)-(E)-hydrazones of the corresponding carbonyl compounds were obtained by condensation of 1-methyl-1-(4-chloro-1-phthalazinyl)hydrazine with carbonyl compounds. The PMR spectra of the products in a number of solvents at various temperatures and the UV spectra in solution and in the solid form were recorded. It was established that a change in the nature of the substituents in the ylidene fragment leads to a change in the three-dimensional structure and the reaction center (C_pht-Cl, C_pht-N, C=N) in acid hydrolysis reactions.Communication LVII from the series Hydrazones.
