Fluoroalkyl-containing 2-arylhydrazono-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the reactions with ethylenediamine and polyethylenepolyamines

Acyclic N,N′-(poly)ethylene-bis(2-arylazo-1,3-aminovinylketones) are the main products in the reactions of fluoroalkyl-containing 2-arylhydrazono-1,3-diketones with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine. Nickel(II) and copper(II) chelates were obtained from N,N′-ethylene-bis(2-arylazo-1,3-aminovinylketones). 2-Arylhydrazono-3-fluoroacyl esters formed N,N′-ethylenediamides of 2-arylhydrazono-3-fluoroacylpropionic acids with ethylenediamine. Interaction of 2-arylhydrazono-3-fluoroacyl esters with diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine resulted in and decomposition products.     

The transformations of fluoroalkyl-containing 2-arylhydrazono-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with methylamine

Fluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triketone 2-arylhydrazones and 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxo esters react variously with methylamine depending on the structure of the fluorinated substituent. 2-Arylhydrazono-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds having “short” fluoroalkyl substituents condense with methylamine at the carbonyl group attached to the non-fluorinated substituent whereas ones containing a lengthy polyfluoroalkyl substituent undergo haloformic cleavage as a result of the amine addition at the carbonyl group bearing such a substituent. The resulting 2-arylazo-3-(N-methyl)amino-1-polyfluoroket-2-en-1-ones and 1-(N-methyl)amino-2-arylhydrazono-3-fluoroalkyl-3-oxopropanamides have complexing properties, and they can bind to nickel(II) and copper(II) ions. Nickel chelates can be obtained by a three-component condensation of 2-arylhydrazono-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and methylamine in the presence of nickel(II) cations.     

Interaction of fluorine-containing 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with polyamines

In the reaction of fluorinated copper(II) 1,3-diketonates with diethylenetriamine (or triethylenetetramine) in CHCl₃, N,N-bis(1,3-aminovinylketones) are formed in 21–35% yields. Fluorine-containing 1,3-diketones and 1,3-ketoesters, upon interaction with polyamines without solvent, undergo acid cleavage, forming the corresponding amides. The copper(II) 1,3-ketoesterates are readily cleaved in CHCl₃ at 25°C in excess triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine.Department of Fine Organic Synthesis, Institute of Organic Chemistry, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 620219 Ekaterinburg.

Fluorine-containing 3-arylhydrazono-2,4-dioxobutanoates in reactions with difunctional nucleophiles

3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, while analogous reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates resulted in the formation of 4-aryldiazeno-3-pentafluorophenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-5,6-diones or 6-aryl-7,8,9,10-tetrafluoro-2-phenyl-2,4a,6,10b-tetradropyridazo[4,3-c]cinnoline-3,4-diones, depending on the conditions. Cyclocondensation of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoates with ethylenediamine led to 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]-5,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones, and 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]benzoxazin-2-ones were formed in the condensation with o-aminophenol. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted heterocycles were found to undergo intramolecular ring closure to give 3-hetaryl-substituted 1-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-4-ones. The reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates with o-aminobenzenethiol gave 3-[7-(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-5,6,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-3-yl]benzothiazin-2-ones; 8a-hydroxy-11,12,13,14-tetrafluoro-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8a,10-octahydropyrazino[1′,2′:4,5][1,4]diazepino[6,7-c]cinnolin-8-one was isolated in the condensation of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine.     

On the syntheses of 1,3-disubstituted dithieno[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridines via halogen-metal exchange of 1,3-dibromodithieno[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridine

Halogen-metal exchange of 1,3-dibromodithieno[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridine with butyllithium under different conditions has been studied. Upon reaction with iodine, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl carbonate, dimethyl disulfide and thiuram disulfide, the 1,3-diiodo-, 1,3-diacetyl-, 1,3-diformyl-, 1,3-dicarbomethoxy, 1,3-di(thiomethyl)- and 1,3-di(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamoyl)dithieno[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]-pyridines, respectively, were obtained in varying yields. 3-Monosubstituted derivatives were obtained in some cases. The formation of 3,7-disubstituted derivatives was sometimes also observed.     

Reactions of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-N,N-dimethylamine with linear and cyclic 1,3-diketones

Ketones are known to be unreactive toward α-fluoroamines such as Ishikawa's Reagent or 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-N,N-dimethylamine (TFEDMA). On the other hand, 1,3-diketones were found to undergo fluorination with TFEDMA. In the case of linear 1,3-diketones, the proposed mechanism involves the formation of β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by the addition of HF to selectively give the product β,β-difluoroketone. Interestingly, when the 1,3-diketone is cyclic (i.e. 1,3-cyclohexadione) the outcome of the reaction is different and results in the formation of a product with a 2,2-difluoroacetyl group on the 2-carbon.     

Preparation of some 4- and 5-fluoromethylated 1,3-dioxans

Difficulties associated with the successful preparation of 4- and 5-fluoromethylated 1,3-dioxans (III)(⁵′R = ⁵R = H) and (IV)(⁵R = Me; ²R = H or Me) are reported. Claisen condensation between ethyl monofluoroacetate and methyl ketones afforded furan derivatives (e.g. compound (V)).Attempts to dialkylate fluorinated 1,3-diketones by classical procedures did not yield the corresponding 2,2-gem-alkylated 1,3-diketones but rather asymmetric ketones by β-diketone degradation, the fluorinated moiety being lost.     

1,4-Cycloaddition reactions. II. Preparation of p-dioxino[2,3-g]furo[3,2-c] quinolines,p-dioxino[2,3-f] furo[3,2-c] quinolines,and [1,3] dioxolo[4,5-g] furo[3,2-c] quinolines from 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran and schiff bases

The boron trifluoride catalyzed 1,4-addition of 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran to N-(p-methoxy-benzylidene)-1,4-benzodioxan-6-amine (II) gave 2 pairs of epimers, 2,3,3a,4,5,8,9,11b-octahydro-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-11b-methyl-p-dioxino[2,3-g]furo[3,2-c]quinoline (IIIa and b) and 2,3,7,8,8a,9.10,1la-octahydro-8-(p-methoxyphenyl)-11a-methyl-p-dioxino[2,3-f]furo[3,2-c]quinoline (IVa and b). When N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-3,4-methylenedioxyaniline (V) was condensed with 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran in an analogous manner, a mixture of 2 epimers of 2,3,3a,4,5,10b-hexahydro-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-10b-methyl[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]furo[3,2-c]quinoline (VIa and b) was isolated. Treatment of this mixture with sulfur afforded 6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-8-methyl-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]quinoline-7-ethanol (VIII). Structural assignments for all of the products were made from NMR spectra. None of the compounds possessed appreciable biological activity.     

Five-Membered 2,3-Dioxo Heterocycles: XLVI. Reaction of 5-Aryl-4-quinoxalinyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones with Aldehydes and Ketones. Molecular and Crystalline Structure of 5-(3-p-Tolylquinoxalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxine- 2-spiro-2'-adamantan-4-one

Aroyl(quinoxalinyl)ketenes generated by thermolysis of 5-aryl-4-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-yl)-2,3-di-hydrofuran-2,3-diones act as dienes in [4 + 2]-cycloaddition at the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones to afford 2-substituted 6-aryl-5-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-ones. The structure of 5-(3-p-tolylquino-xalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxine-2-spiro-2'-adamantan-4-one was proved by X-ray analysis.     

An unexpected preparation of 4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazines

Treatment of compound N,N-(dithiobis(3-chloro-2,1-phenylene)dicarbonylbis (N-cyclopentylglycine)diethyl ester (3) with methanolic sodium hydroxide does not produce the expected hydrolysis product N,N-(dithiobis-(3-chloro-2,1-phenylene)dicarbonylbis (N-cylcopentylglycine) (4) but yields a mixture of compounds 8-chloro-3-cyclopentyl-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazine-2-carboxylic acid (6) and N-(3-chloro-2-mercaptobenzoyl)-N-cyclopentylglycine (7). This unexpected observation has the potential of a new heterocyclic synthesis method for the 4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazine class of compounds.     

C(6)N(7)-cyclized purines

By reaction of 6-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methyl]aminopurine ( 2a ) and of the corresponding 3-hydroxypropyl derivative 2b with thionyl chloride a bridge to N(1) is formed yielding 5 and 6 , respectively, whereas from 6-[N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-N-methyl]aminopurine ( 2c ) the 4-chlorobutyl compound 4 is obtained, which cyclizes in alkaline medium to the C(6)-N(7) bridged compound 7 . A related cyclization to 11a–11f is observed when 6-chloropurines are reacted with 3-alkyl-1,3-oxazolidines or 3-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine.     

A facile synthesis of unsymmetrical heterocyclic azines by cyclodesulfurization: Reaction of methyl arylalkylidenehydrazinecarbodithioates with diamines

A new and facile synthesis of unsymmetrical heterocyclic azines is described. Methyl arylalkylidenehydraz-inecarbodithioates, prepared by the condensation of ketones or aldehydes with methyl hydrazinecarbodithioate, were heated under reflux with various diamines in ethanol. Secondary diamines, such as N,N′-dimethyl-ethylenediamine, N,N′-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane or N,N′-dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine, reacted smoothly with loss of hydrogen sulfide to give good yields of unsymmetrical azines. However, primary diamines, such as ethylenediamine or o-phenylenediamine, and primary/secondary diamines, such as N-methylethyl-enediamine and N-methyl-1,3-diaminopropane gave, instead, only the corresponding uncyclized thiosemi-carbazones. A cyclodesulfurization mechanism for azine formation is discussed.     

A new method for the synthesis of N-substituted (4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-3-yl)acetic acids

A new method for the synthesis of N-substituted 2-(4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-3-yl)acetic acids was developed. Alkylation of cyclic 1,3-diketones with 3,5,5,5-tetrachloropentan-2-one affords 1,4-diketones, which undergo cyclization with different primary amines into N-substituted 3-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-ones. Acid hydrolysis of the latter gives the corresponding indol-3-ylacetic acids. The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR data.     

Structure of reaction products of 3-cyanochromones with ethylenediamine

A reaction of 3-cyanochromones with ethylenediamine in ethanol afforded N,N′-ethyl-ene-bis(2-amino-3-iminomethylchromones), which depending on the time of reflux in acetic acid give 2-amino-3-formylchromones or products of their dimerization, 2-(chromon-3-yl)-5H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones.     

Studies on the hydrolysis of cyclophosphamide II. Isolation and characterization of intermediate hydrolytic products

Two new products of hydrolysis of cyclophosphamide in water at 100°, N-(2-chloroethyl)-N' -(3-phosphatopropy l)ethylenediamine and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N -(3-phosphatopropyl)ethylene-diamine, have been isolated after 30 minutes, and 6 hours of reaction times, respectively. These products have been shown to be intermediates leading to the formation of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-(3-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine, the principal ultimate product of cyclophosphamide hydrolysis. The nature of these new products supports the previously postulated mechanism involving an intramolecular alkylation as the initial step in the hydrolytic process although the pathway appears to be an unlikely model for the metabolic transformations of cyclophosphamide in vivo.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) Complexes with a New vic-Dioxime (E,E)-N′-Hydroxy-2-(Hydroxyimino)-N-(4-{[(2-Phenyl-1,3-Dioxolan-4yl)Methyl]Amino}Butyl)Ethanimidamide1

A new vic-dioxime ligand containing 1,3-dioxolane ring and 1,4-diaminobutane, (E,E)-N-hydroxy-2-(hydroxyimino)-N-(4-{[(2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]amino}butyl)ethanimidamide (H₂L) and the metal mononuclear complexes with a 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 metal–ligand ratio have been prepared with chloride salts Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(ll) in EtOH. The structures of the ligand and its complexes have been established by microanalyses, IR, UV-VIS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, elemental analyses, and conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Also their thermal behavior has been studied by the TGA analysis.     

Syntheses and characterization of nickel(II), zinc(II) and palladium(II) complexes derived from three pyrazole-based polydentate ligands

Two pyrazole-based polydentate ligands, 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmppzpo) and 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-p-isopropylphenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmcpzpo), have been synthesized. A third ligand, 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hdmpzpo), has been synthetically modified. Seven new M(II) coordination compounds of general formula M₂L₂X₂ (M?=?Zn, Ni; X?=?NO₃ or ClO₄; L?=?dmpzpo, mppzpo or mcpzpo) or MLX (M?=?Pd; L?=?dmpzpo; X?=?Cl) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR analysis. The crystal structures of [Zn₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(NO₃)₂]?·?2H₂O (1?·?2H₂O), [Ni₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) and Pd(μ-dmpzpo-N,N′)Cl₂ (4) were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show that complexes 1?·?2H₂O and 2 are center-symmetric dinuclear compounds, with two metal ions bridged by two alkoxo groups and each metal ion with a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The palladium complex, 4, displayed square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion with trans arrangement.     

Reaction of 3-trifluoroacetylchromones with diamines

Reaction of 3-(trifluoroacetyl)chromones with ethylenediamine and o-phenylenediamine depending on the nature of substituents and the reaction conditions afforded either mono-adducts, 3-[(2-aminoethyl)aminomethylidene]-and 3-[(2-aminophenyl)aminomethylidene]-2-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)chroman-4-ones, or bis-adducts, N,N′-ethylenebis-and N,N′-o-phenylenebis[3-aminomethylidene-2-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)chroman-4-ones].

ClickEnam. 1. Synthesis of novel 1,4-disubsituted-[1,2,3]-triazole-derived β-aminovinyl trifluoromethylated ketones and their copper(II) complexes

The copper(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of N-Boc propargyl amine (dipolarophile) 1 with benzyl azide (1,3-dipole) 2 was found to proceed smoothly in t-BuOH/H₂O at room temperature, to furnish the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted-[1,2,3]-triazole-derived N-Boc amine 3 in good yield. Deprotection of 3 with trifluoroacetic acid and addition of the trifluoroacetate salt 4 in the presence of triethylamine, with a series of methoxyvinyl(trifluoromethyl)ketones 10-14, gave the corresponding β-aminovinyl trifluoromethylated ketones 15-19 in moderate to good yields. Two copper(II) complexes, one monomer and one dimer with chlorine double bridge, 20 and 21, respectively, were also prepared and their crystal structure determined. β-Aminovinyl trifluoromethylated ketones 15-17 and complexes 20 and 21 have been screened as potential antifungal agents and the antimalarial activity of 15 and 16 were tested against two Plasmodium falciparum strains (3D7 and W2).     

Synthesis of 2-amino-4-imino-4,5-dihydrothiazoles from N-sulfonyl-α-chloroamidines and thiourea

A number of new and interesting 2-amino-4-(N-substituted)imino-4,5-dihydrothiazoles were synthesized by reacting thiourea (or thiourea hydrochloride) with N-alkyl- or N,N-dialkyl-N′-p-toluenesulfonyl-α-chloroacetamidines, where the N,N-alkyl groups were ethyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, β-phenethyl, (3,5-dimethyl-1-adamantyl)-methyl, as well as N,N-dimethyl- and N,N-pentamethylene. Reactions of N-alkyl-N-p-toluenesulfonyl-2-chloroacetamidines (substituents being N-ethyl, N-benzyl and N,N-dimethyl) with thiourea hydrochloride in hot 2-propanol furnished 2-amino-4-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imino-4,5-dihydrothiazole (in 51, 60 and 65% yields, respectively) and the corresponding amine hydrochloride. In hot acetone or butanone, the reactions of these N-sulfonyl-2-chloroacetamidines with excess thiourea provided 2-amino-4-N-(alkyl or N,N-dialkyl)imminium-4,5-dihydrothiazole chlorides in 25–80% yield. The by-product from these reactions was p-toluenesulfonamide. The structures of the products were established by chemical transformations and spectral methods (nmr and mass spectra).
