The 4,4-dialkylisoxazolidine-3,5-diones 6 and dimethylketoximyl 4,4-dialkylmalonates 7 were formed as minor products. Compounds 4 are stable in refluxing ethanol and in aqueous solution. Compounds 5 are stable when heated in refluxing toluene in the presence of either pyridine or monochloroacetic acid.     

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with NH-azoles

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione, 3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazole, 2,4,5-tribromoimidazole, and 2-chlorobenzimidazole lead to the formation of 5-azolylmethyl-2-bromo-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles. In the case of 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione the intermediate thiolate anion undergoes cyclization into 7-[(3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. The structure of reaction products depends on the relative rate of substitution of leaving groups in the reagents.

Reactions of 3-mono- and 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles with a “model” thiirane, 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-7-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-diones proceed at the positions N¹ and N² of the triazole ring and yield 7-(5-R-3-R′-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl- and/or 7-(5-R′-3-R-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-f]-purine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones. 3-Methylsulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole reacted regiospecifically at the position N¹ forming 1,3-dimethyl-7-[(3-methyl-sulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)-methyl]-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.     

New Chiral Diamines of the Dioxolane Series: (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)- 1,3-dioxolane and (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(methyl- aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

The reaction of sodium diphenylamide with 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane gave (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, which was brought into complex formation with cobalt chloride. Treatment of 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane with sodium N-methylanilide resulted in cleavage of the SÄO bond in the p-toluenesulfonate moiety with formation of N-methyl-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide and 4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane disodium salt. Diethyl (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dicarboxylate reacted with methylamine to give the corresponding dicarboxamide which was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane having chiral carbon and nitrogen atoms.     

Acetylenic chemistry: Part 15 [1]. Reactions of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne

Reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne gave 1-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4a ), 3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4b ), and 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ). Subsequent boiling of 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ) in formic acid afforded 1-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridyl-N-prop-2′-ynylamide ( 5 ) and 1-acetonyl-3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 6 ).     

Isopropylidenemalononitrile in the synthesis of 2-amino-4,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile, 6-amino-2-(4-methoxybenzoylmethylsulfanyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile, and fused 2-aminopyrans according to Michael

Michael reactions of isopropylidenemalononitrile with cyanothioacetamide (in the presence of 4-methoxyphenacyl bromide), cyclohexane-1,3-dione, and 4-hydroxycoumarin, gave 6-amino-2-(4-methoxy-benzoylmethylsulfanyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile, 2-amino-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile, and 2-amino-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]-chromene-3-carbonitrile, respectively. In the reaction of isopropylidenemalononitrile with cyanoacetamide, only dimerization product of the former, 2-amino-4,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile, was isolated. Its structure was proved by X-ray analysis.     

Stereochemistry of the Reactions of Cyclic Ketones with Lithium Aluminum Hydride and Methyllithium. IV. The Stereochemistry of the Reactions in 2,2-Dimethyl-4-t-Butylcyclohexanone Systems

Previous publication showed that the stereochemistry of lithium aluminum hydride reduction of cyclic ketones can be evaluated by the use of an empirical equation, . This paper reports further test of this relationship in the new system of 2,2-dimethyl-4-t-butyl-cyclohexanone. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of this ketone yields 95.6% trans-alcohol (lit., 95.9%) corresponding to D?(D?G*)_H of 1.67 Kcal/mol. With methyllithium, the ketone formed 77.5% of trans-alcohol (D?(D?G*)_D?fs = 0.67 Kcal/mol). These data give a calculated D?G* = 0.74 Kcal/mol which agrees well with the literature value of 0.87 or 0.28 Kcal/mol. Structural assignments of 2,2-dimethyl-4-t-butylyclohexanone, 1,2,2-trimethyl-cis- and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanols by pmr spectroscopic method are also given.     

The synthesis of two novel pyridazines; A new ring system

The Diels-Alder reaction of 4,5-dimethylene-2,2-diphenyldioxolane with diethyl azodicar-boxylate and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione was investigated. Reduction of the resultant adducts followed by hydrolysis provided hexahydro-4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-pyridazine dicarboxylic acid diethylester and 1,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-6,7-dihydroxy-2-pheny 1-2H-s-triazolo[1,2-α ]pyrida-zine-1,3-dione.     

Reactions of Bisazomethines of the Naphtalene Series with 1,3-Diketones

Bisazomethines prepared from aromatic dialdehydes and 2-naphthylamine were for the first time reacted with the following diketones: 1,3-cyclohexanedione, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, 5-phenyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, indandione, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione was studied. The reactions with 1,3-diketones of the cyclohexane series yield benzophenanthridine derivatives. The reactions with indandione, depending on conditions, give either bisarylideneindandiones or bisdihydrobenzo[f]indenoquinoline. As evidenced by the ^13C NMR and IR spectra, in the case of biphenyl-4,4'-dicarbaldehyde bis[N-(2-naphthyl)imine] and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, 4,4'-bis(3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinolin-1-yl)biphenyl is formed.     

Di-4(3H)-quinazolinon-2-yl Derivatives from the Diacid Chlorides of Pinic and sym-Homopinic Acids

The corresponding diamides have been synthesized by the interaction of the diacid chlorides of cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-carboxycyclobutaneacetic acid (pinic acid) and cis-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane-1,3-diacetic acid (sym-homopinic acid) with two equivalents of anthranilic acid. Treatment of the diamides with formamide gave 2,2-dimethyl-1-[4(3H)-quinazolinon-2-yl]methyl-3-[4(3H)-quinazolinon-2-yl]cyclobutane and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-di[4(3H)-quinazolinon-2-ylmethyl]cyclobutane respectively.     

Reaction Between 5-Isopropylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-Butyl Isocyanide in the Presence of Primary or Secondary Amines

Summary. 5-Isopropylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (the condensation product of Meldrums acid and acetone) reacts smoothly with tert-butyl isocyanide in the presence of primary or secondary amines to produce N-tert-butyl-2,2-dimethylbutyramide derivatives and/or 1-tert-butyl-4,4-dimethyl-2,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxamides in good yields.     

Reaction of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2,3-diones with carbon-centered nucleophiles

Knoevenagel condensations of 5,5-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2,3-diones with malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, indan-1,3-dione, and Drotaverine base involved the ketone carbonyl group in the former with formation of deeply colored dark blue substances. The lactam ring in the products can be opened by the action of nitrogen-centered nucleophiles, e.g., p-toluidine. The reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2,3-dione with methyl magnesium iodide gave 2-hydroxy-2,5,5-trimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-3-one.     

Rearrangement reactions of aziridinylbenzaldoximes

Reactions of 2,2-dimethylaziridine with benzohydroximoyl chlorides [ArC(Cl)?NOH] give aziridinylbenzaldoximes 1 . It has been found that the aziridine ring in these compounds undergoes ring opening in hydrogen chloride-dioxane solution to give (Z)-N-hydroxy-N′-(2-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzenecarboximidamides [ArC(NHCH₂CR¹R²Cl)?NOH, 4 ]. Treatment of 1 with hydrochloric acid followed by neutralization with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave 6,6-dimethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazines 2. Reaction of 4 with sodium hydride in dioxane gave 5-isopropyl-3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5. Reaction of the 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5 with N-chlorosuccinimide gave the heteroaromatic 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 6 . It is suggested that reactions of 4 with sodium hydride in dioxane solution involve the conjugate base of 4 which undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift that is concerted with loss of chloride ion. In aqueous sodium hydroxide solution it is suggested that the conjugate base of 4 undergoes ionization of the chlorine atom followed by nucleophilic attack by the oximate anion.     

On the reaction of phenyldisic acids with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Reversible non-catalyzed michael addition and ring closure to derivatives of 2H,7H-isoxazolo[3,2-b][1,3]oxazine

4-Aryl-3,5-dihyroxyisoxazoles which are strong organic acids add spontaneously to mesityl oxide to form 4-aryl-2-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)isoxazolidine-3,5-dione. This reaction was found to be reversible and the equilibrium is solvent dependent. These acids add to 2 moles of methyl vinyl ketone. The adducts obtained from mesityl oxide undergo ketalization to form derivatives of 2H,7H-isoxazolo[3,2-b][1,3]oxazine on exposure to alcohols. The rate of this ring closure reaction is dependent on the nature of the alcohol and on the nature of the substituent on the phenyl group which is at position 4 of the isoxazole ring. The mechanisms of the non catalyzed Michael addition and of the ketalization reaction are discussed. The structure of the polymers which are obtained by the reaction of phenyldisic acids with acrolein and crotonaldehyde is also discussed.     

Indolizidine synthesis by transannular cyclization

Beckmann rearrangement of alkylcyclooctenone oximes VIa and VIb gave corresponding nine-membered lactams 1,3,4,5,8,9-hexahydro-3-methyl-2H-azonin-2-one (VIIIa) and 1,3,4,5,8,9-hexahydro-3-butyl-2H-azonin-2-one (VIIIb), respectively. A stereospecific transannular cyclization was induced by mercuric acetate leading to alkyl indolizinones Xa and Xb. Temperature and solvent dependent nmr spectra of the medium ring lactams indicates the stereochemical control is caused by steric interactions of the alkyl side chain. Lithium aluminum hydride reduced Xa/Xb to cis-octahydro-6-methylindolizidine (XIa) and cis-octahydro-3-n-butylindolizidine (XIb).     

The synthesis of 1,4-ethano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines as rigid analogues of adrenergic agents

The Diels-Alder addition of benzyne and 4,5-dimethoxybenzyne to 1-(2-trans-phenylvinyl)-2-pyridone and 1-benzyl-3-benzyloxy-2-pyridones provided members of the 1,4-etheno-3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline system. Catalytic reduction of these adducts yielded the corresponding tricyclic lactams. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of these lactams produced a number of 1,4-ethano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.     

Pyrimidines. 21. Novel reactions of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil with carbon nucleophiles. A facile preparation of certain pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Treatment of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 8 ) with an activated acetonitrile, such as malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate or cyanoacetamide, in base afforded 7-amino-6-cyano-, 7-amino-6-ethoxycarbonyl-, and 7-amino-6-aminocarbonyl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 18b, 18c and 18d , respectively) in high yields. On the other hand, reaction of 8 with acetonitrile in base gave the Michael adduct, 5-cyano-6-cyanomethyl-5,6-dihydrouracil ( 15 , R = H), and the hydrated product, 1,3-dimethyluracil-5-carboxamide ( 9 ) as the major products, and 7-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 18a ) in only very low yield. Similar reaction with butanone gave 7-ethyl-1,3-dimethyl- and 1,3,6,7-tetramethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 10b and 10c ) in low yields. When 8 was treated with diethylmalonate in base, only a small amount of 6-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-trione ( 19 ) was obtained together with 1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 20 ) and 18c (also in low yields). Treatment of 8 in ethanolic sodium ethoxide without added carbon nucleophile gave significant amounts (14%) of 20 and a small amount of 18c .     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-B]quinazolin-5-ones

Iodide-catalyzed ring expansion of 2-[(1-aziridinylcarbonyl)amino]benzoic acid methyl ester (2) gave 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one (3) in quantitative yield. Treatment of the dimethyl analog of 2 (9) with sodium iodide in acetone gave a mixture of the 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl- (10) and 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones (11). However, rearrangement of 9 with sulfuric acid produced only 10. Synthesis of 11 by another route for comparison is described, and the known syntheses of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones are reviewed.     

Reaction of N,N'-Di(methoxycarbonyl)-p-benzoquinonediimine with Meldrum's Acid and its Analogs

Reactions of 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane (Meldrum's acid), 2,2-tetramethylene-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane and 2,2-pentamethylene-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane in the presence of MeONa gave rise instead of expectable products of Michael 1,4-addition the corresponding N,N'-di(methoxycarbonyl)-p-benzoquinonediimines substituted in the ring.     

New thiourea organocatalysts and their application for the synthesis of 5-(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones a source of chiral 3-indoylmethyl ketenes

The stereoselective properties of modified thiourea organocatalysts were tested in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with 5-arylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones, which produces chiral 5-((1H-indol-3-yl)(aryl)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones. Based on a tentative reaction mechanism for ((S)-N-benzyl-2-(3-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thioureido)-N,3,3-trimethylbutanamide organocatalysts, modifications were applied in four selected regions. Systematic structure-stereoselectivity relationship study allowed designing the best efficient organocatalyst for the investigated Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with 5-arylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones.
