Photocyclization of 2-chloro-substituted 1,3-diarylpropan-1,3-diones to flavones

The photochemical behavior of 2-halo-substituted 1,3-diarylpropan-1,3-dione strongly depends on the nature of the halogen atom bonded and the presence of electron-donor groups on the phenyl ring. In the case of 2-chloro-1,3-diphenylpropan-1,3-dione and 1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropan-1,3-dione, cyclization to flavones was the sole reaction pathway, whereas in the case of 2-chloro-1,3-di(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-1,3-dione, only products derived from alpha-cleavage were observed. 2-Fluoro derivatives of 1,3-diarylpropan-1,3-diones were photostable; on the other hand, 2-chloro-2-fluoro derivates resulted in 3-fluoroflavones.     

Chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective cyclizations of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with alpha-chloroacetic acid chlorides and alpha-chloroacetic acetals

Treatment of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with alpha-chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides resulted in chemo- and regioselective formation of 6-chloro3,5-dioxo esters, which were regioselectively converted into functionalised 3(2H)furanones. Chemo- and regioselective condensation of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with alpha-chloroacetic dimethyl acetal afforded 6-chloro-5-methoxy-3-oxo esters, which could be regio- and stereoselectively transformed into 2-alkylidene-4-methoxytetrahydrofurans.     

Reaction of dialkyl 2-aryl-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxocyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylates with aliphatic amines

Benzylamine, phenethylamine, and homoveratrylamine reacted with dialkyl 2-aryl-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxocyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylates at the endocyclic carbonyl group with conservation of the enolic hydroxy group to give dialkyl 4-alkylamino-2-aryl-6-hydroxy-6-methylcyclohex-3-ene-1,3-dicarboxylates. The reaction of dimethyl 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxo-2-phenylcyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylate with tryptamine was accompanied by dehydration with formation of dimethyl 4-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylamino]-6-methyl-2-phenylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,3-dicarboxylate, presumably due to basic properties of the indole nitrogen atom.     

Zur Synthese sulfonierter Derivate von 4-Amino-1,3-dimethylbenzol und 2-Amino-1,3-dimethylbenzol

Syntheses of Sulfonated Derivatives of 4-Amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene and 2-Amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene Direct sulfonation of 4-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene (1) and sulfonation of 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 4 ) to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-6-sulfonic acid ( 3 ) followed by reduction yield 4-amino-1,3-dimethylbenzene-6-sulfonic acid ( 2 ). The isomeric 5-sulfonic acid ( 5 ) however is prepared solely by baking the acid sulfate salt of 1 . Reaction of sulfur dioxide with the diazonium chloride derived from 2-amino-4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 7 ) leads to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonyl chloride ( 8 ), which is successively hydrolyzed to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 9 ) and reduced to 4-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 6 ). Treatment of 4-amino-6-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 12 ) and 4-amino-6-chloro-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 13 ), the former obtained by reduction of 4-chloro-6-nitro-1,3-dimethyl-benzene ( 10 ) and the latter from 4-chloro-6-nitro-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 11 ), with oleum yield 4-amino-6-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 14 ) and 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 15 ) respectively; subsequent carbon-halogen hydrogenolyses of 14 and 15 lead also to 6 (Scheme 1). Baking the acid sulfate salt of 2-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 17 ) gives 2-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene-5-sulfonic acid ( 16 ), whereas the isomeric 4-sulfonic acid ( 18 ) can be prepared by either of the following three possible pathways: Sulfonation of 2-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 20 ) to 2-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-4-sulfonic acid ( 21 ) followed by reduction or sulfonation of 2-acetylamino-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 19 ) to 2-acetylamino-1,3-dimethylbenzene-4-sulfonic acid ( 22 ) with subsequent hydrolysis or direct sulfonation of 17 . Further sulfonation of 18 yields 2-amino 1,3-dimethylbenzene-4,6-disulfonic acid ( 23 ), the structure of which is independently confirmed by reduction of unequivocally prepared 2-nitro- 1,:3-dimethylbenzene-4,6-disulfonic acid ( 24 )(Scheme 2).     

Transformations of 5-chloro-2-hydrazino-4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolylsulfonyl-1,3-thiazole

Treatment of 5-chloro-2-hydrazino-4-p-tolylsulfonyl-1,3-thiazole with acetylacetone led to the formation of previously unknown 5-chloro-2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-p-tolylsulfonyl-1,3-thiazole which reacted with O-, S-, and N-centered nucleophiles at the C⁵ atom with high regioselectivity.     

Synthesis of electron-poor 4-halo-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes by Rh(II)-catalyzed diazo ester-azirine coupling. 2-Azabuta-1,3-diene-2,3-dihydroazete valence isomerism

The Rh₂(OAc)₄-catalyzed reaction of alkyl 2-acyl-2-diazoacetates and dimethyl diazomalonate with methyl 2-bromo- and 2-chloro-3-phenyl-2H-azirine-2-carboxylates gives rise to electron-poor 4-halo-substituted (3E)-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes. Their formation proceeds with complete stereoselectivity via ring-opening of the intermediate azirinium ylide. 2-Azabuta-1,3-dienes with electron-withdrawing substituents at the 1,1,4-positions are stable compounds at room temperature, but are in equilibrium with cyclic valence isomers, 2,3-dihydroazetes, at elevated temperatures.

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.

Selenium heterocycles. XXX. Synthesis of 4-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithioles and 5-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-thiaselenoles

Decomposition of these 1,2,3-thiadiazoles as well as the corresponding 1,2,3-selenadiazoles with base and subsequent addition of carbon disulfide afforded 4-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithioles and 5-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-thiaselenoles.     

Chemo-, regio- and stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-aryl-N-phenylnitrones over 3,5-bis(arylidene)-1-methylpiperidin-4-ones: synthesis of highly substituted novel spiro-isoxazolidines

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of C-aryl-N-phenylnitrones to 3,5-bis-(arylidene)-1-methylpiperidin-4-ones affords novel mono- and bis-spiroisoxazolidines in moderate yields. In general, this reaction predominantly yields mono-spiroisoxazolidine, wherein the oxygen of the nitrone is linked to the β-carbon of the benzylidene moiety, while 3,5-bis-(2-chloro- and 3-nitro-benzylidene)-1-methylpiperidin-4-ones afford predominantly bis-spiroisoxazolidines. The cycloaddition of mono-spiroisoxazolidines occurs with facial diastereoselectivity to furnish bis-spiroisoxazolidines. The nitrogen in the heterocyclic ring of the 3,5-bis-(arylidene)-1-methylpiperidin-4-ones facilitates the cycloaddition through transannular (NCO) and/or homoconjugative (NCC) interactions.
