Reactivity of N-(omega-haloalkyl)-beta-lactams with regard to lithium aluminium hydride: novel synthesis of 1-(1-aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines and 3-aryl-3-(N-propylamino)propan-1-ols

The reactivity of 4-aryl-1-(2-chloroethyl)azetidin-2-ones and 4-aryl-1-(3-bromopropyl)azetidin-2-ones with regard to lithium aluminium hydride has been evaluated for the first time. 4-Aryl-1-(2-chloroethyl)azetidin-2-ones were transformed into novel 1-(1-aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines through an unprecedented conversion of beta-lactams into 2,3-unsubstituted aziridine derivatives. Unexpectedly, 4-aryl-1-(3-bromopropyl)azetidin-2-ones underwent dehalogenation towards 3-aryl-3-(N-propylamino)propan-1-ols upon treatment with LiAlH(4). 1-(1-Aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines were further elaborated by means of ring opening reactions using benzyl bromide in acetonitrile towards 3-aryl-3-[N-benzyl-N-(2-bromoethyl)amino]propan-1-ols and using aluminium(iii) chloride in diethyl ether, affording 3-aryl-3-[N-(2-chloroethyl)amino]propan-1-ols.     

The reaction of 2-hetarylacetonitriles with heterocyclic haloaldehydes

The reaction of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolyl-and benzimidazolylacetonitriles with 2-chloro-2-quinolinecarbaldehydes and 1-aryl-5-chloro-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes gave the corresponding 3-(2-chloro-3-quinolyl)-2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-2-propenenitriles and 3-(1-aryl-5-chloro-3-methyl-1H-4-pyrazolyl)-2-hetaryl-2-propenenitriles. Intramolecular cyclization of these compounds gives 15-oxo-15H-benzo[6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles, 1-aryl-3-methyl-11-oxo-1,11-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline-5-carbonitriles, and 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-5-carbonitriles.     

Sulfanyl chloride induced heterocyclization of N-(pyrazolyl)styrylacetamides

Heterocyclization of N-(pyrazol-3-yl)styrylacetamides with arenesulfenyl chlorides yields the corresponding tetrahydrofuran-2-iminium perchlorates isolable after chromatography as trans-5-aryl-4-(arylthio)tetrahydrofuran-2-ones and 5-aryl-4-(arylthio)-1-(pyrazol-3-yl)pyrrolidin-2-ones, with the latter predominating. N-(Pyrazol-4-yl)styrylacetamides react under analogous conditions to give 5-aryl-4-(arylthio)-1-(pyrazol-4-yl)pyrrolidin-2-ones, 4-aryl-3-(arylthio)-4-chloro-N-(1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)butanamides, and tetrahydrofuran-2-iminium perchlorates which, when chromatographed, produce 5-aryl-4-(arylthio)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones and 4-aryl-3-(arylthio)-4-methoxy-N-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)butanamides.     

Regioselective alkynylation of 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines and subsequent arylation or amination of the 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines

Palladium-CuI catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines with terminal acetylenes (1 equiv) in triethylamine afforded the 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines as sole products. The 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines coupled with excess terminal acetylenes (2.5 equiv) in dioxane/water to yield the 2-aryl-3,4-bis(alkynyl)quinoline derivatives in a one-pot operation. The 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines were, in turn, subjected to arylation via Suzuki cross-coupling with arylboronic acid derivatives or amination with methylamine, respectively. The structures of the products of successive Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-couplings were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography.     

Trithia- and dithiaselenapentalenes from benzylidene-1,2-dithioles and heterocumulenes

Deprotonation of the 5-aryl-3-benzyl-1λ⁴,2-dithiol-1-ylium iodides ( 6a–6d ) obtained by reaction of the 1-aryl-4-phenylbutan-1,3-diones ( 5a–5d ) with hydrogen sulfide and iodine in ethanol gave the stable 5-aryl-3-benzylidene-3H-1,2-dithioles ( 3a–3d ), respectively. The dithioles ( 3a–3d ) underwent thermal cycloaddition reactions with isoselenocyanates and isothiocyanates to give the 2-(substituted amino)-5-aryl-3-phenyl-6,6aλ⁴-dithia-1-selenapentalenes ( 7a–7h ) andthe 2-(substituted amino)-5-aryl-3-phenyl-1,6,6aλ⁴-trithiapentalenes ( 8a–8l ), respectively. The dithioles( 3a–3d ) reacted with isocyanates to give the N-substi-tuted-2-phenyl-2-(5-aryl-3H-1,2-dithiol-3-ylidene) acetamides ( 11a–11h ). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reaction of 3-Aryl-1-(2-methyloxiran-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones with Tosylhydrazine

It was established that the reaction of 3-aryl-1-(2-methyloxiran-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones with tosylhydrazine leads to 3-[(E)-2-arylvinyl]-4-methyl-1-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles and 3-aryl-1-(2-methyloxiran-2-yl)-3-tosylpropan-1-ones. The latter are formed as a result of rearrangement of the intermediate hydrazino alcohols and/or addition of p-toluenesulfinic acid during reductive degradation of the tosylhydrazine. It was shown that the reaction of 3-aryl-1-(2-methyloxiran-2-yl)-3-tosylpropan-1-ones with an excess of tosylhydrazine leads to 3-(2-aryl-2-tosylethyl)-4-methyl-1-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1481–1489, October, 2005.

The reaction of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-benzoyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one with aromatic amines affords the corresponding 3-arylamino derivatives, and the reactions of 5-aryl-4-acetyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with p-toluidine yield 5-aryl-4-(1-p-tolylamino)ethylene-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2,3-diones.     

Synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via coupling reaction of diaminomaleonitrile with aromatic diazonium salts

A mild procedure for the preparation of 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-iminoacetonitriles and 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-oxoacetonitriles was achieved by the reaction of diaminomaleonitrile and phenyl/substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides. 4-Nitrophenyl diazonium chloride afforded 2-amino-3-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)triaz-1-en-1-yl)maleonitrile. Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.     

Tetrazole compounds. 9. A new approach to tetrazolyl-substituted quinoline derivatives

The acid-catalyzed reaction of 1-aryl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles 2 with arylamines suitably functionalized in the ortho-position resulted in Z-configurated transamination products which were cyclized to novel 3-tetrazolylquinolines by the action of sodium ethoxide. Thus, on reacting 2 with 2-aminoacetophenone or 2-aminobenzophenone, respectively, the 2-[2-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)vinyl-amino]aryl ketones 3a-g were obtained, the cyclization of which gave 4-substituted 3-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)quinolines 4 . In the case of the transamination products 3h-1 , prepared from 2 and methyl anthranilate, the ring closure afforded 3-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-quinolin-4-ones 5 . Starting from 2 and anthranilonitrile 4-amino-3-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)quinolines 10 were obtained via the corresponding intermediates 9 .     

Reformatsky Reaction of Methyl α-Bromoisobutyrate with 2-Arylmethylidenemalonic Acid Derivatives

Reformatsky reagent obtained by treatment of methyl α-bromoisobutyrate with zinc reacts with dimethyl 2-arylmethylidenemalonates to give trimethyl 2-aryl-3-methylbutane-1,1,3-tricarboxylates. The reaction of the same compound with ethyl 3-aryl-2-(4-methylphenylcarbamoyl)acrylates yields cyclic products, ethyl 4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-carboxylates. Treatment of the latter with morpholine and phenylhydrazine leads to the corresponding 4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-carboxylic acid morpholides and phenylhydrazides. The products are formed as a single diastereoisomer.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 1034–1038.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shchepin, Fotin.     

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromo-alkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone with 3-aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one

3-Aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one reacted with zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromoalkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone to give, respectively, 4-(1-alkyl-2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-aroyl-6-bromochroman-2-ones and 1-(2-aroyl-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-2-benzoyl-1,2-dihydrobenzo[f]chromen-3-ones as a single stereoisomer. Treatment with acetic anhydride of the intermediate product obtained from 3-benzoyl-6-bromochromen-2-one and [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethen-1-yloxy]-zinc(II) bromide resulted in the formation of 3-(1-acetoxy-1-phenylmethylidene)-6-bromo-4-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl]chroman-2-one.     

Synthesis and reactions of 4-(arylhydrazino)coumarins

The interaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with phenyl-, 2-chlorophenyl- and 4-bromophenyhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of triethylamine led in all cases to the corresponding 4-(arylhydrazino)-coumarins and 1-aryl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-pyrazolin-5-ones. 4-(Arylhydrazino)coumarins reacted with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of piperidine acetate to give the corresponding 2-aryl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)[1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]pyrazol-4-ones. The reaction of 4-(4-bromophenylhydrazino)-coumarin with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of piperidine acetate and an excess of piperidine gave 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(piperidinocarbonyl)pyrazole, but the reaction of phenyl- and 4-(2-chlorophenylhydrazino)coumarins with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde gave 1-aryl-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(1-piperidino)carbonyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles.     

Synthesis of 5-Amino-1-aryl-4-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)- 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ones*

Reactions of 2-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-3-oxo-4-chlorobutyronitriles with primary aromatic amines result in nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom by amino group, followed by intramolecular addition of the secondary amino group to the cyano group. The products are 5-amino-1-aryl-4-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)- 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ones which are structurally related to the known antiischemic drugs.     

Reactions of 4-acyl-1-alkoxyaryl-5-aryl-3-hydroxy-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-ones with nucleophilic reagents

4-Acetyl-1-alkoxyaryl-5-aryl-3-hydroxy-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-ones reacted with amines to give 1-alkoxyaryl-5-aryl-4-(1-R-aminoethylidene)pyrrolidine-2,3-diones. Reactions of amines with 4-benzoyl-substituted analogs involve nucleophilic attack on the C³ atom in the heteroring to produce the corresponding 3-R-amino-1-alkoxyaryl-5-aryl-4-benzoyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-ones. Reactions of the title compounds with hydrazine hydrate, regardless on the substituent on C₄, afforded 4-aryl-3-methyl(phenyl)-5-[2(4)-methoxyphenyl]-4,6-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol-6-ones.     

Reaction of methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole-2-carboxylates with arylhydrazines. synthesis of isomeric 5-arylcarbamoyl-4-aroyl- and 5-aryl-4-aryloxamoyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazoles

Methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates reacted with arylhydrazines to give methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-2-(2-arylhydrazinyl)-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates which underwent thermal recyclization into isomeric methyl 1-aryl-5-(arylcarbamoyl)-4-aroyl-1H-pyrazole- 3-carboxylates and methyl 1,5-diaryl-4-[2-oxo-2-(arylamino)acetyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates.     

Regioselective arylation of 3-bromopyridine

The addition of aryl Grignard reagents to the 1-phenoxycarbonyl salt of 3-bromopyridine affords 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and 4-aryl-3-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. The crude dihydropyridines were aromatized with o-chloranil in refluxing toluene to give 4- and 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines. The regioselectivity of this two-step process, 6- vs. 4-substitution, was examined and found to be dependent upon the structure of the Grignard reagent. Unhindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., phenyl and 2-naphthyl, gave mainly 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines (49-52%) along with 9% of the 4-substituted isomer and less than 4% of the 2-aryl-3-bromopyridine. Hindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., o-tolyl and 1-naphthyl, are less regioselective. When a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide is present during the Grignard reaction, nearly exclusive 1,4-addition results. The crude 4-aryl-3-bromo-1,4-dihydropyridines were aromatized with p-chloranil to provide 4-aryl-3-bromopyridines in good yield and high isomeric purity. The sequential use of the cuprous iodide-catalyzed Grignard reaction and the “normal” Grignard reaction provided a regiospeci-fic synthesis of 3-bromo-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylpyridine from 3-bromopyridine.     

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Some Novel Thiazolyl-Pyrazoline Derivatives Containing 1,2,3-Triazole Moiety

Abstract

A series of novel 3-aryl-5-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1-(4-aryl-2-thiazoyl)-pyrazolines 6a–6r were synthesized using 2-aryl-4-formyl-1,2,3-triazoles 1a,b as the starting materials. Thus, reacting 1a,b with 1-arylethanones 2a–2c gave 1-aryl-3-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-propen-1-ones 3a–3f. The reaction of the latter with thiosemicarbazide afforded 3-aryl-5-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1-thiocarbamoyl-pyrazolines 4a–4f, which condensed with 2-bromo-1-arylethanones 5a–5c to afford the target compounds 6a–6r. The chemical structures of the compounds were verified by means of their IR, ¹H NMR, ESI-MS spectroscopic data, and elemental analysis.

Redox Transformation of Adducts from Cycloaddition of Diazoacetic Ester to β-Arylacryloyloxiranes

It was established that, in addition to ethyl 4-aryl-3-(2,3-epoxyalkanoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, the reaction of diazoacetic ester with β-arylacryloyloxiranes also gives ethyl 4-aryl-3(5)-(3-hydroxy-2-methylalkanoyl)-1H-pyrazole-5(3)-carboxylates. The latter are formed from the tautomeric ethyl 4-aryl-5-(2,3-epoxyalkanoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates as a result of intramolecular oxidative-reductive disproportionation. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, 1150–1160, August, 2005.
