Microwave-assisted synthesis of sydnonyl-substituted imidazoles

3-Aryl-4-formylsydnones 1a-d react with symmetrical 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, such as benzil (2a), 4,4′-dimethoxybenzil (2b), 4,4′-difluorobenzil (2c), and di-2-thienylethanedione (2d), in glacial acetic acid, using ammonium acetate as the ammonia source, to yield 4,5-diaryl-2-sydnonyl-substituted imidazoles 3a-6d under conventional heating. In a similar treatment, 4,5-diaryl-2-sydnonyl-1-substituted imidazoles 8a-10a can be prepared by the one-pot condensation of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-4-formylsydnone (1d), benzil derivatives, ammonium acetate, and primary amines. However, such reactions, which take 1-3 days at high temperature under classical conditions, are completed successfully within a few minutes under microwave irradiation.     

First synthesis of P-chirogenic prophosphatranes

Syntheses are reported for the novel P-chirogenic bicyclic prophosphatranes P(RNCH₂CH₂)₂N(OCH₂CH₂)—(8) in which the two R groups [i.e., 1-methylenenaphthyl and 1,2-methoxybenzyl (8)] and in its corresponding phosphine oxide (9) are different. Also synthesized was the transannulated protonated phosphatrane cation in the salt [HP(RNCH₂CH₂)₃N]Cl in which the three R groups [i.e., 1-methylenenaphthyl, 1,2-methoxybenzyl, and (S)-1-phenethyl (14)] are different, and also in its corresponding deprotonated prophosphatrane form P(RNCH₂CH₂)₃N (15). Good analytical resolution of racemic 9 is reported, whereas only partial resolution was achieved for diastereomeric 14.

Terpenes in organic synthesis

A seven-step synthesis ofS-(+)-hydroprene (S-1) in 20 % overall yield starting fromS-(+)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene (2) of 55+-10 % optical purity is described.

N-acetylindoxyl in the synthesis of new condensed heterocycles

Derivatives of a new heterocyclic system thieno[2,35,6]pyrimido[3,4-a]indole, were obtained by the reaction of substituted N,O-diacetylindoxyls with excess N-(2-methyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-thienyl)hydrazine. The reaction of N-acetylindoxyl and 4-hydrazinouracil forms 12-amino-1,3-dioxo-2,4,6-trimethylpyrimido[5,45,6]pyrimido[3,4-a]indole.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, 1343–1345, October, 1987.     

Concise synthesis of two advanced intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids

A concise five-step approach to indolizidinones 10 and 11, two advanced intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids, has been developed by using N-Cbz pyrrolidin-2-yl pyridin-2-yl sulfide 13 as the chiral building block. The method features a SmI₂-mediated coupling of sulfide 13 with functionalized aldehyde 14 and a tandem N-deprotection-lactamization, which constitutes a stepwise “2 + 4” annulation method for the construction of the indolizidinone ring system of 12a.     

The synthesis of chloracisin analogs

Reaction of 2-chlorophenothiazine with acryloyl and methacryloyl chloride, and dehydrochlorination of 10-(-chloropropionyl)-2-chlorophenothiazine, has given 10-acryloyl- and 10-methacryloyl-2-chlorophenothiazine. The latter reacts with secondary amines to give chloracisin and its analogs.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 601–604, May, 1970.

The synthesis of methyl benzylpenillonate

Methyl phenylpenicillenate (10) was formed by the interaction of 4-carbomethoxy-5,5-dimethyl- 2-thiazoline (6) and 2-phenyloxazol-5-one in pyridine, whereas in neutral solvents the preponderant product of the reaction was methyl phenylpenillonate (7). Similarly, under the latter conditions, 2-benzyloxazol-5-one (5) and the thiazoline (6) yield methyl benzylpenillonate (4, R= Ph·CH₂, R=Me) identical with the product obtained from the methyl ester of benzylpenicillin.This contribution byA. B. A. Jansen andRobert Robinson is dedicated to ProfessorF. Wessely on the occasion of his 70th Birthday in admiration of his eminent services to chemistry as a teacher and original investigator.     

The synthesis of new azoniathiahelicenes

Synthesis of new azonia derivatives of thia[6]helicene ( 1 ) and thia[7]helicene ( 2 ) is described. The Knoevenagel condensation of 2‐methylbenzothieno[3,2‐a]quinolizinium salt ( 8 ) with appropriate arylaldehydes yielded 2‐(arylvinyl)benzothieno[3,2‐a]quinolizinium salts ( 9 and 10 ), respectively. Photocyclization of 2‐styrylbenzothieno[3,2‐a]quinolizinium salt ( 8 ) gave 7a‐azonia‐5‐thia[6]helicene ( 1 ) in 63% yield. Similarly, 2‐[2‐(2‐naphthyl)vinyl]benzothieno[3,2‐a]quinolizinium salt ( 10 ) afforded 7a‐azonia‐5‐thia[7]helicene ( 2 ) in 56% yield. The complete and unambiguous assignment of their ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐nmr spectra was performed by utilizing two‐dimensional nmr spectroscopic methods.

Resolvin E2 (2) was synthesized stereoselectively using the C1-8 and C15-20 aldehydes 6 and 9, which were connected to the C9-14 fragment by using Wittig reactions. The aldehyde 6 was prepared from the γ-silyl alcohol (S)-20 by a sequence of reactions involving ozonolysis, oxidation with NaIO₄, and the Wittig reaction of the resulting aldehyde with Ph₃PCHCHO, whereas the aldehyde 9 was synthesized from the corresponding γ-silyl alcohol through epoxidation, reaction with Et₂AlCN, and reduction with DIBAL-H.
