Two Novel Microwave‐Promoted Reactions between Ethyl 6‐Acetylpyridine‐2‐carboxylate and Aromatic Amine/Aliphatic Amine

The unsymmetric precursor ethyl 6‐acetylpyridine‐2‐carboxylate (3) was synthesized from 2,6‐dipiclinic acid (1). On the basis of this precursor, two distinctively different types of compounds were prepared by microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. One type was mono(imino)pyridine compounds (4a–4f), originating from the Schiff base condensation between a series of aromatic amines and the precursor 3; another type was 6‐acetylpyridine‐2‐carboxamide compounds (5a–5c), which were the products of amidation reactions between a series of aliphatic amines and the same precursor 3.     

Synthese und Reaktivität von 2- und 3-hydroxylierten Dihydro-1,4-Benzoxazinen

2 can be pyrrolized to yield3 a, which in turn may be hydrolyzed with HCl to3 b. Acetylation of3 a followed by a reaction with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gives3 e. Elimination of ethanol from3 a or of water from3 e is not possible. Treatment of1 a with pyridine/acetic anhydride andTFA or with acetic acid/acetic anhydride affords4 a and4 b, resp. Reaction of4 b in benzene/p-toluenesulfonic acid for 2 hours yields both ethers5I and5II, whereas after 6 hours 4-acetyl-4H-1,4-benzoxazine (6) is obtained. The structures of all products are established by chemical and spectroscopic methods.

Straightforward and Facile Synthesis of a Bioactive Component from Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.

Straightforward and facile synthesis of a bioactive component A from Zingiber cassumunarRoxb. is described. The phenylbutenoid dimer A was reported to possess anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. The optically active cyclohexene ring fragment was obtained via the highly diastereo- and enantioselective Diels–Alder reaction of chiral acryloyloxazolidinones (1a and 1b) and 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)butadiene (2). The enantiomeric excess of Diels–Alder adducts 3a and 3bwere determined via high-performance liquid chromatotography of the corresponding bis-acetate (6). The greatest enantiomeric excess (99.9% ee) was obtained when the 4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (1a) chiral auxiliary was used in combination with TiCl4. The optically pure bioactive compound A was prepared from the optically active Diels–Alder adduct (3a) in two additional steps.

Natural products from Pluchea sagittalis act as inhibitors of photosynthesis in vitro

Four compounds were isolated from roots and aerial parts of Pluchea sagittalis (Asteraceae), 3, 5-dihydroxy-6, 7, 3′, 4′-tetramethoxiflavunol (1), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (2), 3, 4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (3) and 2, 3, 4-trihydroxybenzaldeyde (4). Their herbicidal potential was detected by polarographic techniques. All of them inhibited the non-cyclic electron transport on basal, phosphorylating and uncoupled conditions from H₂O to methylviologen (MV); thus, they act as Hill reaction inhibitors. Studies on fluorescence of chlorophyll a (ChL a) indicated they have different modes of interaction and inhibition sites on the photosystem II electron transport chain; 1–3 have interacted with the acceptor side while 4 has interacted at the donor side.

Synthesis of new thioxanthenes by organocatalytic intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction

An efficient organocatalytic route has been developed to synthesize novel substituted thioxanthenes (2a–2v) starting from diaryl thioether alcohols (1a–1v) using the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction. The starting materials were obtained in two stages via a coupling reaction followed by the Grignard reaction. In this study, we tried for the first time to use some organic Brønsted acids as organocatalysts (3a–3h) in the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization reaction of thioether alcohols. The synthesis of original substituted thioxanthenes was achieved within 15?minutes by using N-triflylphosphoramide (3h) with quantitative yields in THF at room temperature.     

Facile synthesis and characterization of novel pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine incorporating 1,3-diarylpyrazole moiety

4-(3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-6-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2-di hydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (1) reacted with ethyl chloroacetate (2) in ethanolic sodium acetate solution to yield the corresponding ethyl (3-cyanopyridin-2-ylsulphanyl)acetate derivative 3. Intramolecular cyclization of compound 3 was achieved by its heating in DMF containing potassium carbonate to afford the corresponding ethyl 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate derivative 4 which reacted with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing pyridine to yield the starting material 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide derivative 7. Compound 7 reacted with different reagents such as triethylorthoformate, formic acid, acetic acid and acetic anhydride to afford the target molecules pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives 8–10, 12 and 13 in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivative 1 reacted with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing pyridine to give the other starting material 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivative 20 which reacted with acetylacetone under reflux to afford the target molecule pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivative 21 in a good yield. The structures of target molecules were elucidated using elemental analyses and spectral data.     

Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines

Summary A number of substituted 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines was synthesized. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-furyl)propenoic acid (1) was converted to the acid azide2, which in turn was cyclized to give 2,3-dimethyl-5H-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (3) by heating at 240°C in Dowtherm. The pyridone3 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride to give4, which was reduced with zinc and acetic acid to 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (5). Treatment of4 with several secondary heterocyclic amines led to compounds6a–6c. Reaction of pyridone3 with phosphorus pentasulfide rendered the thione7, which was methylated to8a. The 4-methoxy derivative8b was obtained from4 with sodium methoxide. 2,3,5-Trimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (9) was obtained by reaction of3 with methyl iodide.Dedicated to Professor Dr.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

SYNTHESIS AND CHEMISTRY OF SOME NEW 2-MERCAPTOIMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES OF POSSIBLE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY

4,5-Diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2-mercaptoimidazoles (2a–e) were synthesized. They reacted with chloroacetic acid in gl. acetic acid/Ac ₂ O in presence of anhyd. sodium acetate afforded 5,6-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ones (3a–d). Also these compounds were prepared by the action of chloroacetyl chloride on compounds (2) in pyridine. Compounds (3a–d) on condensation with aromatic aldehydes yield 2-arylmethylene-5,6-diaryl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]-thiazol-3-ones (4a–q). The latter compounds were prepared directly by the reaction of (2) with chloroacetic acid and the aromatic aldehydes. Compounds (3a–d) coupled with aryldiazonium salts in pyridine to give 2-arylhydrazono-5,6-diaryl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ones (5a–r). Also compounds (2) when reacted with 2 or 3-bromopropionic acid afford 2,3-di-hydro-5,6-diaryl-2-methylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ones (6a–d) and 2,3-di-hydro-6,7-diaryl imidazo-[2,1-b]-1,3-thiazin-4-ones (7a–d), respectively. Compounds (3, 6, and 7) have been cleaved by aromatic amines to give the corresponding 2-(4′,5′-diaryl-2′,3′-dihydroimidazol-2′-yl)thioacetanilide (8a–f), 2-(2′,3′-dihydro-4′,5′-diaryl imidazol-2′-yl)thiopropionamide (9a–c), and 3-(2′,3′-dihydro-4′,5′-diaryl-imidazol-2′-yl)thiopropionamide (10a–d) respectively. All the prepared compounds show considerable antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeast, and fungi.     

Synthesis of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane derivatives. Crystal structure of the racemic form

Condensation of triallylborane with octa-1,7-diyne followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with methanol afforded a mixture of stereoisomeric 1,4-bis(3-methoxy-3-bora-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-en-7-yl)butanes (1a,b). Hydroboration of the latter with a solution of BH₃ in THF yielded the tetrahydrofuran complex of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane (2) as a mixture of diastereomers. Pure racemate (2a) was obtained by crystallization from the reaction mixture and it was converted into the pyridine complex of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane (3). The structure of the latter was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex2a was converted into the corresponding racemic 1,2-bis(1-hydroxyadamant-2-yl)ethane (4a) by the carbonylation-oxidation reaction. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Pyridine-2(1H)-thione in Heterocyclic Synthesis: Synthesis of Some New Nicotinic Acid Ester,Thieno[2, 3-b]pyridine,Pyrido[3′, 2′: 4, 5]thieno [3, 2-d]pyrimidine,and Thiazolylpyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine Derivatives

Nicotinic acid esters 3a–c were prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivative 1 with α-halo-reagents 2a–c. Compounds 3a–c underwent cyclization to the corresponding thieno[2, 3-b]pyridines 4a–c via boiling in ethanol/piperidine solution. Compounds 4a–c condensed with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to afford 3-{[(N,N-dimethylamino)methylene]amino}thieno[2, 3-b]- pyridine derivatives 6a–c. Moreover, compounds 4a–c and 6a–c reacted with different reagents and afforded the pyrido[3′,2′:4, 5]thieno[3, 2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 10a–d, 11a–c, 12a,b, 14a,b, 17, and 19. In addition, pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivative 20 (formed via the reaction of 1 with hydrazine hydrate) reacted with ethylisothiocyanate yielded the thiourea derivative 21. Compound 21 reacted with α-halocarbonyl compounds to give the 3-[(3H-thiazol-2-ylidene)amino]-1H-pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivatives 23a–c, 25, and 27a,b.     

Synthesis of 1,1‐Dimethyl‐4‐indanol Derivatives

The synthesis of 1,1‐dimethyl‐4‐indanols (3a,b) has been achieved by intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization of 2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)phenols (5a,b) or 1‐methoxy‐2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)benzenes (6a,b) followed by demethylation, respectively.It was found that the solvent was critical for the formation of different products in the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reactions of 6. The unexpected product 4‐methoxy‐1,1,6,6‐tetramethyl‐as‐hydrindacene (11) was obtained from the Friedel–Crafts reactions of 6a, and its structure was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The key intermediates 5a,b were prepared by ortho‐alkenylation of phenols with 1‐bromo‐3‐methyl‐2‐butene, and the reaction temperature exerted an obvious impact on the yield of 2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)phenol (5a).     

Ozonolyse von Olefinen,III: Säurekatalysierte Ozonolyse von 3-Hexen-1,6-und 2-Penten-1,5-dicarbonylderivaten

Summary The ozonolysis of mono-unsaturated compounds containing the structural element =CH-CH₂-R [R=COOH, COOCH₃, CH(OCH₃)₂] was investigated. Reductive ozonolysis of (E)-3-hexene-1,6-dioic acid gives methyl 3,3-dimethoxypropanoate (2), whereas ozonolysis of dimethyl (E)-3-hexene-1,6-dioate (1a) and (Z)-1,1,6,6-tetramethoxy-3-hexene (1b) in a methanolic solution of HCl leads to a mixture of2, dimethyl malonate (3 a) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane (3 b). The homologuos derivatives, dimethyl glutaconate (4 a) and 1,1,5,5-tetramethoxy-2-pentene (4 b), were ozonized to give mixtures of2, 3, dimethyl oxalate (5), methyl 2,2-dimethoxyacetate (6 a), and 1,1,2,2-tetramethoxyethane (6 b). The ratios of the various reaction products were determined by gas chromatography. In each case the formation of the bifunctional derivatives2 and6 a was favoured.

     

Advanced Synthesis of Dihydrofurans: Effect of Formic Acid on the Mn(III)-Based Oxidation

The Mn(III)-based oxidation of a tertiary alkylamine, such as nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl) tris(3-oxobutanoate) (1) with 1,1-diphenylethene (2a), effectively proceeded in an acetic acid–formic acid mixed solvent to give nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl) tris(2-methyl-5,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylate) (3). Other typical Mn(III)-based reactions of various β-diketo esters 4a–e, 2,4-pentanedione (6a), malonic acid (6b), and diethyl malonate (6c) with 1,1-diarylthenes 2a–d were also investigated in a similar acetic acid–formic acid mixed solvent and the reaction rate was accelerated and the product yield increased.
