Recyclization of dimedone adduct with 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethylidene)propanedinitrile in the reaction with N-nucleophiles

Three-component condensation of dimedone with phenylglyoxal hydrate and malononitrile gave a polyfunctional 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene derivative, 2-amino-4-benzoyl-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile, which reacted with ammonium acetate to produce pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinoline ring system. Reactions of the condensation product with primary and secondary amines and hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded polysubstituted pyrroles, whereas the reaction with hydrazine hydrate led to 3-amino-6-phenylpyridazine-4-carbonitrile.

Schiff bases were synthesized from 3-hydroxy-6-oxo-6H-benzo[c]chromene-4-carbaldehyde, 5-hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-6-carbaldehyde, 6,7-dihydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-8-carbaldehyde, 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-6,8-dicarbaldehyde, and 5-hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-6,8-dicarbaldehyde and (¹⁵N)aniline or aminobenzo-15-crown-5 (2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydrobenzo[b][1,4,7,10,13]pentaoxacyclopentadecin-15-amine), and tautomeric equilibrium between the hydroxy enimino and keto enamino forms of the 4- and 8-iminomethyl derivatives in solution was revealed by 1H NMR and electronic spectroscopy. Addition of alkaline earth cations to their solutions in acetonitrile displaced the tautomeric equilibrium toward the hydroxy enimino structure due to complex formation with the crown ether fragment.

Features of reactions of polyfluorinated ethyl 4-oxo-2-pnenyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxylates with N-nucleophiles

Ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate in reactions with primary amines is characterized by a chromone-coumarin rearrangement affording 3-[amino(phenyl)methylene]-6,7,8-trifluoro-2H-chromene-2,4(3H)-diones, and ethyl 4-oxo-2-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate characteristically adds the amine at the C² site of the flavone furnishing 3-amino-3-phenyl-2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-6-hydroxybenzoyl)acrylates which depending on the substituent at the amino group are capable of intramolecular cyclization into 3-[(alkylamino)(phenyl)methylene]-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2H-chromene-2,4(3H)-dione or in the case of benzylamine substituent, into ethyl 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate. The main process in the reaction of tri- and tetrafluoroflavones with secondary amine (1-methylpiperazine) is the nucleophilic substitution at the C⁷ of flavone. In the reaction with 1,2-phenylenediamine 3-[(2-aminophenyl)amino]-3-phenyl-2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-6-hydroxybenzoyl)acrylate was obtained from tetrafluoroflavone and 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl(3,4,5-trifluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone, from trifluoroflavone.

Reactions of 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides with hydrogen halides in solvents of low dielectric permittivity result in the formation of 6-amino-2-aroyl-2-halopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles. 2-Acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides under similar conditions afford 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles. In solvents of high dielectric permittivity the result of the reaction depends on the nature of the hydrogen halide and the acyl(aroyl) substituent: With HCl and HBr 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides form 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-2-halo-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)-propanedinitriles, and 2-acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides give 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles; with HI depending on the reaction conditions and the structure of the acyl substituent 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles, 2-(5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene) propane-dinitrile, 2-amino-4-(dimethoxybenzyl)-6-iodo-5-cyanonicotinamide, 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile, or 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-1-ethylidene-1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile are obtained.
