Cationic Ir/Me‐BIPAM‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Intramolecular Direct Hydroarylation of α‐Ketoamides

Asymmetric intramolecular direct hydroarylation of α‐ketoamides gives various types of optically active 3‐substituted 3‐hydroxy‐2‐oxindoles in high yields with complete regioselectivity and high enantioselectivities (84–98 % ee). This is realized by the use of the cationic iridium complex [Ir(cod)₂](BAr^F₄) and the chiral O‐linked bidentate phosphoramidite (R,R)‐Me‐BIPAM.     

Synthesis of Furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and Its N(5)‐Substituted Derivatives

We report the efficient preparation of furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and its N‐substituted derivatives starting from methyl 2‐methylfuran‐3‐carboxylate. The Me group was converted to the aldehyde group, which was then condensed with hydrazine derivatives. Then, the ester functionalities were hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids, followed by treatment with SOCl₂ to give N‐substituted furopyridazinone derivatives.     

Efficient Synthesis of 1‐Arylquinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones via Cyclocondensation of N‐Aryl‐Substituted 2‐Nitrosoanilines with Functionalized Alkyl Acetates

N‐Aryl‐substituted 2‐nitrosoanilines (=2‐nitrosobenzenamines) 1 , readily available by nucleophilic substitution of the ortho‐H‐atom in nitroarenes with arenamines, react with 2‐substituted acetic acid esters in the presence of a weak base giving 1‐arylquinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones (Scheme 2). This cyclocondensation allows for the synthesis of compounds 2 – 4 , unsubstituted at C(3) or substituted by alkyl, aryl, ester, amide, and keto groups, in good to excellent yields (Tables 1–4).

Substituent effects in trans‐p,p′‐disubstituted azobenzenes: X‐ray structures at 100 K and DFT‐calculated structures

The crystal and molecular structures of two para‐substituted azobenzenes with π‐electron‐donating –NEt₂ and π‐electron‐withdrawing –COOEt groups are reported, along with the effects of the substituents on the aromaticity of the benzene ring. The deformation of the aromatic ring around the –NEt₂ group in N,N,N′,N′‐tetraethyl‐4,4′‐(diazenediyl)dianiline, C₂₀H₂₈N₄, (I), may be caused by steric hindrance and the π‐electron‐donating effects of the amine group. In this structure, one of the amine N atoms demonstrates clear sp²‐hybridization and the other is slightly shifted from the plane of the surrounding atoms. The molecule of the second azobenzene, diethyl 4,4′‐(diazenediyl)dibenzoate, C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₄, (II), lies on a crystallographic inversion centre. Its geometry is normal and comparable with homologous compounds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to analyse the changes in the geometry of the studied compounds in the crystalline state and for the isolated molecules. The most significant changes are observed in the values of the N=N—C—C torsion angles, which for the isolated molecules are close to 0.0°. The HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity) index, calculated for the benzene ring, demonstrates a slight decrease of the aromaticity in (I) and no substantial changes in (II).     

Synthesis of 2‐Coumarinyl and Spiroindolyl‐5‐Phenyl‐1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles

The 2H‐1‐benzo/naphthopyran‐2‐one‐4‐yl (un)substituted phenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles has been synthesized by the oxidative cyclization of benzoic acid hydrazides formed in situ by the condensation of the respective 2H‐1‐benzo/naphthopyran‐2‐one‐4‐carboxaldehyde and (un)substituted monobenzoyl hydrazide in moderate yields. Also, spiro[indoline‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐diones has been syhthesized in a similar way from 3‐phenyl‐spiro[3H‐indoline‐3,2′‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐(1 H)dione monohydrazide and (un)substituted benzaldehydes.     

A Facile Synthesis of Oxoindenothiazine and Dioxospiro(indene‐2,4′‐thiazine) Derivatives from (Substituted ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides

(E)‐2‐[2‐(1‐Substituted ethylidene)hydrazinyl]‐5‐oxo‐9b‐hydroxy‐5,9b‐dihydroindeno[1,2‐d][1,3]‐thiazine‐4‐carbonitriles and (E)‐5‐oxo‐[(E)‐(1‐substituted ethylidene)hydrazinyl]‐2,5‐dihydroindeno[1,2‐d][1,3]thiazine‐4‐carbonitriles have been obtained from the reaction of 2‐(substituted ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides with 2‐(1,3‐dioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐ylidene)propanedinitrile ( 1 ) in ethyl acetate solution. However, (Z)‐6′‐amino‐1,3‐dioxo‐3′‐substituted‐2′‐[(E)‐(1‐phenylethylidene)hydrazono]‐1,2′,3,3′‐tetrahydrospiro(indene‐2,4′‐[1,3]thiazine)‐5′‐carbonitriles were observed during the reaction of N‐substituted‐2‐(1‐phenylethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides with ( 1 ). The structure assignment of products has been confirmed on the basis of ¹H‐, ¹³C‐NMR, and mass spectrometry, as well as theoretical calculations.

A simple method for the cyclocondensation of substituted isoflavones with cyanoacetamide in the presence of sodium hydroxide to give an array of 3‐cyano‐5,6‐diarylpyridin‐2(1H)‐ones in good yields is reported.     

An Efficient Synthesis of 3‐(1H‐Tetrazol‐5‐yl)coumarins (=3‐(1H‐Tetrazol‐5‐yl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐ones) via Domino Knoevenagel Condensation,Pinner Reaction,and 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition in Water

A novel straightforward synthesis of 3‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)coumarins (=3‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐ones) 6 via domino Knoevenagel condensation, Pinner reaction, and 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of substituted salicylaldehydes (=2‐hydroxybenzaldehydes), malononitrile (propanedinitrile), and sodium azide in H₂O is reported (Scheme 1 and Table 2). This general protocol provides a wide variety of 3‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)coumarins in good yields under mild reaction conditions.     

Multiple Pentafluorophenylation of 2,2,3,3,5,6,6‐Heptafluoro‐3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazine with an Organosilicon Reagent: NMR and DFT Structural Analysis of Oligo(perfluoroaryl) Compounds

The reagent Me₃Si(C₆F₅) was used for the preparation of a series of perfluorinated, pentafluorophenyl‐substituted 3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazines ( 2 – 8 ), which, otherwise, would be very difficult to synthesize. Multiple pentafluorophenylation occurred not only on the heterocyclic ring of the starting compound 1 (Scheme), but also in para position of the introduced C₆F₅ substituent(s) leading to compounds with one to three nonafluorobiphenyl (C₁₂F₉) substituents. While the tris(pentafluorophenyl)‐substituted compound 3 could be isolated as the sole product by stoichiometric control of the reagent, the higher‐substituted compounds 5 – 8 could only be obtained as mixtures. The structures of the oligo(perfluoroaryl) compounds were confirmed by ¹⁹F‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, MS, and/or X‐ray crystallography. DFT simulations of the ¹⁹F‐ and ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts were performed at the B3LYP‐GIAO/6‐31++G(d,p) level for geometries optimized by the B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level, a technique that proved to be very useful to accomplish full NMR assignment of these complex products.     

Through‐space 19F–19F spin–spin coupling in ortho‐fluoro Z‐azobenzene

We report through‐space (TS) ¹⁹F–¹⁹F coupling for ortho‐fluoro‐substituted Z ‐azobenzenes. The magnitude of the TS‐coupling constant (^TSJ_FF) ranged from 2.2–5.9 Hz. Using empirical formulas reported in the literature, these coupling constants correspond to non‐bonded F–F distances (d_FF) of 3.0–3.5 Å. These non‐bonded distances are significantly smaller than those determined by X‐ray crystallography or density functional theory, which argues that simple models of ¹⁹F–¹⁹F TS spin–spin coupling solely based d_FF are not applicable. ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹F data are reported for both the E and Z isomers of ten fluorinated azobenzenes. Density functional theory [B3YLP/6‐311++G(d,p)] was used to calculate ¹⁹F chemical shifts, and the calculated values deviated 0.3–10.0 ppm compared with experimental values.

The effect of solvent accessible surface on Hammett‐type dependencies of infinite dilution 29Si and 13C NMR shifts in ring substituted silylated phenols dissolved in chloroform and acetone

Infinite dilution ²⁹Si and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts were determined from concentration dependencies of the shifts in dilute chloroform and acetone solutions of para substituted O‐silylated phenols, 4‐R‐C₆H₄‐O‐SiR′₂R″ (R = Me, MeO, H, F, Cl, NMe₂, NH₂, and CF₃), where the silyl part included groups of different sizes: dimethylsilyl (R′ = Me, R″ = H), trimethylsilyl (R′ = R″ = Me), tert‐butyldimethylsilyl (R′ = Me, R″ = CMe₃), and tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl (R′ = C₆H₅, R″ = CMe₃). Dependencies of silicon and C‐1 carbon chemical shifts on Hammett substituent constants are discussed. It is shown that the substituent sensitivity of these chemical shifts is reduced by association with chloroform, the reduction being proportional to the solvent accessible surface of the oxygen atom in the Si‐O‐C link.

Synthesis of 2‐Substituted 3‐Alkylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐imines through Cyclization of [1‐(2‐Cyanophenyl)alkylidene]aminide Intermediates Generated from the Reaction of 2‐(1‐Azidoalkyl)benzonitriles with NaH

A convenient sequence for the preparation of 3‐alkylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐imine derivatives 6 has been developed. Thus, 2‐(1‐azidoalkyl)benzonitriles 2 , readily accessible from 2‐alkylbenzonitriles, are allowed to react with NaH in DMF at 0° to room temperature to generate [1‐(2‐cyanophenyl)alkylidene]aminide intermediates 3 , of which cyclization and the subsequent rearrangement, followed by alkylation with alkyl halides, affords 2‐substituted 1‐alkylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐2‐imines 6 in generally moderate yields.     

Synthesis of 4‐Aryl‐1,7‐naphthyridine‐2(1H)‐thiones by the Electrocyclic Reaction of 4‐(1‐Arylalk‐1‐enyl)‐3‐isothiocyanatopyridines Generated in situ from the Corresponding Isocyanides

A convenient synthis for 4‐substituted and 3,4‐disubstituted 1,7‐naphthyridine‐2(1H)‐thiones 7 has been developed. The method is based on the electrocyclic reaction of 4‐(1‐arylalk‐1‐enyl)‐3‐isothiocyanatopyridines 6 , generated in situ by the treatment of the respective isocyanides 5 with S₈ in the presence of a catalytic amount of selenium. The isocyanides 5 can be easily prepared from commercially available pyridin‐3‐amine by conventional organic reactions.     

Effect of Nitrogen and Fluorine Co‐substitution on the Structure and Magnetic Properties of Cr2O3

First‐principles density functional calculations were carried out to determine the structure as well as electronic and magnetic properties of N and F co‐substituted Cr₂O₃. The formation of strong Cr?N bonds upon substitution of oxygen with nitrogen leads to large distortions in the local structure and changes in magnetic moments, which are partly compensated by co‐substitution with fluorine. The effects of spin–orbit coupling are relatively weak, but its combination with local structural distortions gives rise to canting of spins and an overall magnetic moment in N, F co‐substituted Cr₂O₃. Experimentally, we observe spin canting in N, F co‐substituted Cr₂O₃ with considerable enhancement in the coercive field at low temperatures.     

Convenient Synthesis of 1H‐Indol‐1‐yl Boronates via Palladium(0)‐Catalyzed Borylation of Bromo‐1H‐indoles with ‘Pinacolborane’

An atom‐economic Pd⁰‐catalyzed synthesis of a series of pinacol‐type indolylboronates 3 from the corresponding bromoindole substrates 2 and pinacolborane (pinBH) as borylating agent was elaborated. The optimal catalyst system consisted of a 1 : 2 mixture of [Pd(OAc)₂] and the ortho‐substituted biphenylphosphine ligand L‐3 (Scheme 4, Table). Our synthetic protocol was applied to the fast, preparative‐scale synthesis of 1‐substituted indolylboronates 3a – h in the presence of different functional groups, and at a catalyst load of only 1 mol‐% of Pd.
