Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Higher C,N-Diphenyl Nitrones,Isoxazolines, and Mercaptobenzimidazoles as Oleochemicals

Abstract

Some novel long-chain nitrones, isoxazolines, and (1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2-ylthio) derivatives were synthesized. Nitrones, N-{4-[2-(tetradecylthio)acetoxy]benzylidene}aniline oxide, and N-[4-(12-oxo-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadocosan-22-yloxy)benzylidene]aniline oxide were prepared via the reaction of β-phenylhydroxylamine with the corresponding aromatic aldehydes. The isoxazolines were prepared from undec-10-en-1-ol and benzonitrile-N-oxide which was generated in situ. The 1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2-ylthio derivatives were synthesized via the replacement reaction of ω-bromo esters and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.     

Selective Ir-catalysed borylation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: structures of naphthalene-2,6-bis(boronate), pyrene-2,7-bis(boronate) and perylene-2,5,8,11-tetra(boronate) esters

Synthesis,Photophysical and Electronic Properties of Mono-, Di-, and Tri-Amino-Substituted Ortho-Perylenes,and Comparison to the Tetra-Substituted Derivative

We synthesized a series of new mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-substituted perylene derivatives with strong bis(para-methoxyphenyl)amine (DPA) donors at the uncommon 2,5,8,11-positions. The properties of our new donor-substituted perylenes were studied in detail to establish a structure-property relationship. Interesting trends and unusual properties are observed for this series of new perylene derivatives, such as a decreasing charge transfer (CT) character with increasing number of DPA moieties and individual reversible oxidations for each DPA moiety. Thus, (DPA)-Per possesses one reversible oxidation while (DPA)₄-Per has four. The mono- and di-substituted derivatives display unusually large Stokes shifts not previously reported for perylenes. Furthermore, transient absorption measurements of the new derivatives reveal an excited state with lifetimes of several hundred microseconds, which sensitizes singlet oxygen with quantum yields of up to 0.83.

Synthesis of gem-dialkoxycarbonylcyclopropane derivatives from olefins by the reaction with dibromomalonic esters and copper in dimethyl sulphoxide

A novel method for the synthesis of gem-dialkoxycarbonylcyclopropane derivatives is reported which involves the reaction of olefins with dibromomalonic esters and Cu in dimethyl sulphoxide. The reaction was applicable to a wide range of olefins and proceeded smoothly at moderate temperature to give the cyclopropane derivatives often in good yields. Cu was converted to Cu(II) bromide during the reaction. The reaction was weakly electrophilic and proceeded non-stereospecifically, and a stepwise mechanism involving addition and elimination appeared favourable for the reaction. In contrast, in the previously reported examples of the cyclopropanation of olefins by organic gem-dihalides and Cu in an aromatic hydrocarbon, Cu was converted to Cu(I) halides and a concerted cycloaddition of carbenoid intermediates appeared favourable.

This method allows the regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of functionalized cyclobutabenzene derivatives from simple and easily available starting materials.

The procedure involves a Pictet–Spengler cyclization, a dehydrogenation, an ester reduction, and an alcohol oxidation step. The β-carboline-3-carbaldehydes were further transformed using a Biginelli reaction into derivatives containing a pharmacologically significant dihydropyrimidine ring at position-3.

Compared to previously reported Cu/Au bi-catalyst system, this protocol enables achieving A3 reaction only in the presence of triazole-gold catalyst. Notably, 4-alkyl substituted or 2-alkyl substituted quinoline derivatives were obtained with good yields, which highlighted the unique advantage of this new strategy.

An efficient total synthesis of flavans from the reactions of salicylaldehyde and acetophenone derivatives is reported. The synthesis involves preparation of chalcones through an aldol reaction followed by reduction of both the double bond and the ketone using NaBH₄ and an acetic acid mediated cyclization. Methoxy groups on the aromatic rings did not affect significantly the yields of the procedure.     

Efficient synthesis of piperidine derivatives using dendrimer based catalytical pockets

The synthesis of highly functionalized piperidine derivatives using amine functionalized maltitol-cored dendritic polymer (MAL-G0) in acetonitrile as the reaction medium is reported. A variety of piperidine derivatives were synthesized and the reaction gave an excellent yield of 89%–95%. The highly functionalized nature of the catalyst provided large number of active sites which resulted in good yield within a short period of time. Maltitol is a carbohydrate polyol system which was chosen here as the core for the synthesis of the dendritic catalyst; it was an effective approach for the preparation of piperidine like medicinal compounds. Maltitol-cored dendritic polymer was effectively synthesized and characterized using GPC, TG, UV–Visible, IR, and NMR techniques and also all the synthesized piperidine derivatives were characterized using LCMS, IR, and NMR techniques.
