Synthesis of 3-(6-R-Benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazoles

The nitrosation of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides afforded 1-(6-R-benzothiasol-2-yl)-1-hydroxyimino-2-propanones that at oximation with hydroxylamine were converted into 1-(6-R-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1,2-dihydroxyiminopropanes. The latter were dehydrated by heating with succinic anhydride at 140°C yielding therewith 3-(6-R-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazoles.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 759–761.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Britsun, Borisevich, Samoilenko, Lozinskii.

Preparation and Structure of (E)-1-(3′-Hydroxy-2-Furanyl)-3-(3″-Hydroxy-4″-Methoxyphenyl)-2-Propen-1-One

Abstract

A facile procedure is presented for the synthesis of (E)-1-(3′-hydroxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2- propen-1-one (6). Galactosylisomaltol (1) was condensed with isovanillin (2) under strong alkaline conditions at 25 [ddot]C to form (E)-1-(3′-O-β-D-galactopyranosyloxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″- hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (4). (E)-1-(3′-hydroxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (6) was obtained by acid hydrolysis of 4 in a 53.9% yield. This hetero-cyclic 2-propen-1-one was characterized on the basis of spectral data (IR and ¹H NMR), physicochemical properties, and conversion to a mono-O-acetyl derivative.     

Acid-Catalyzed Transformations of 2-(Phenylethynyl)isoborneol

2-(Phenylethynyl)isoborneol was synthesized by treatment of camphor with lithium phenylacetylide. Skeletal rearrangements of the title compound under the Ritter reaction conditions afforded a mixture of N-(4-phenylethynyl- and 4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamides at a ratio of 8:3. The reaction of 2-(phenylethynyl)isoborneol with formic acid involved mainly Meyer-Schuster rearrangement instead of the expected Rupe rearrangement, and the major product was 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone. The minor product (∼6%) was 1-(2-hydroxy-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)-2-phenylethanone. The Ritter reaction of 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone selectively yielded N-(4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamide.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 853–858.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Koval’skaya, Kozlov, Dikusar.     

Laser photolysis of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-methylpyrazole and 1-ethyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-chloropyrazole

The spectral kinetic characteristics of the triplet states of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-methylpyrazole (1) and 1-ethyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-chloropyrazole (2) were studied by the laser nanosecond photolysis technique in different solvents. The triplet lifetimes (τ_T) of molecules 1 and 2 were found to depend strongly on the solvent nature. An increase in τ_T by approximately two orders of magnitude on going from nonpolar and polar aprotic solvents (τ_T ≤ 15 ns) to aqueous-acetonitrile solutions (τ_T = 1100 ns for a volume acetonitrile to water ratio of 1 : 3) was analyzed, taking into account the influence of the medium on the relative contribution of the n,π*- and π,π*-configurations to the lowest triplet state. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of 2-(4,5-dihydro-3-furyl)-1,3-diphenyl-1,3-diaza-2λ³-phospholidine (1) with nitrile imines are multistep processes involving cleavage of one P-N bond of the diazaphospholidine ring to form substituted 5-(2-chloroethyl)-4-(N,N′-diphenylethylenediamino)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4λ⁵-diazaphosphorines 4 as final products.

The synthesis of 4 (= A, R = COOH) started with the 2-[(4-pyridyl)methyl]malonate 1 and proceeded via the N-oxide 2 , cyanation and hydrolysis (Scheme 2). Amino acid 11 was obtained from (3-pyridyl)methyl-bromide ( 6 ) via the malonate 7 by an analogous sequence of reactions (Scheme 3).

Synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles

Abstract  

An efficient synthesis method for the preparation of a series of new (Z)- and (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles was developed. The reaction of (Z)- and (E)-3-styrylchromones with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding (Z)- and (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles, except for nitro derivatives, where both (Z)- and (E)-4′-nitro-3-styrylchromones afforded (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles. The reaction mechanism for these transformations is discussed and the stereochemistries of all products were established by NMR experiments.

Synthesis of 2-Functionalized 4-(Diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-5-(1-bromoalkyl)furans and Their Reactions with Amines

Phosphorylation of esters and nitriles of 4-chloromethyl-5-alkylfuran-2-carboxylic acids with triethyl phosphite yields the corresponding phosphonates. These compounds are brominated with N-bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride at the α-position of the alkyl radical. The resulting 2-(1-bromoethyl)-, 2-(1-bromopropyl)-, and 2-(1-bromoisobutyl)furans react with secondary amines following the scheme of nucleophilic substitution. The dehydrobromination product was isolated only in the reaction of ethyl 4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-5-(1-bromoisopropyl)furan-2-carboxylate with triethylamine, but its yield was low. The reactions of bromo phosphonates with lithium carbonate in DMF result in their decomposition.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 5, 2005, pp. 820–828.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Pevzner.
