Synthesis and conversions of 5-(3,5-6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-2-isopropylidenehydrazinothiazole and 2-isopropylidenazinothiazolines

When 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan interacts in acetone with thiosemicarbazide or its 4-methyl or 4-phenyl derivative, the respective products are 5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-(isopropylidenehydrazino)thiazole and -3-R-2-(isopropylidenazino)thiazolines, respectively. It has been shown that hydrolysis of these compounds forms 3-amino-5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-imino(or 2-R-imino)thiazolines. These products of hydrolysis and their predecessors are oxidized to the corresponding 2-hetaryl-substituted 3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones.Riga Technical University, Riga, LV-1048.

Synthesis of 3-N,N-Dialkylamino-5-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)thiazoline-2-thiones

N,N-Dialkylhydrazides of S-(4,6,7-trichloro-2,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]-3-furanyl)dithiocarbonic acids have been obtained by the reaction of 3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan with N,N-dialkylhydrazinium salts of N,N-dialkylhydrazides of dithiocarbonic acids. Recyclization in boiling ethanol in the presence of conc. HCl with subsequent oxidation leads to the formation of 3-N,N-dialkylamino-5-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)thiazoline-2-thiones. An attempt at recyclization in boiling trifluoroacetic acid led to the formation of 3-N,N-dialkylamino-5,6,8-trichloro-7-hydroxy-2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydrothiazolo[4,5-b]benzo[d]furane-2-thiones.     

Synthesis of 2-(β-Hetarylaminoethyl)-3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones

Reductive opening of the dihydrobenzofuran ring in these compounds gave 3,5,6-trichloro-2-(-hetarylaminoethyl)hydroquinones. The latter could be oxidised to the target 3,5,6-trichloro-2-(-hetarylaminoethyl)-1,4-benzoquinones which are novel 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives with intramolecular charge transfer.

The ion-radical salt of (3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinone-2-yl)chloroacetaldehyde with N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (11) has been synthesized. The reaction of 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachlorocoumaran-3-yl) with pyridine gave N-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichlorocoumaran-3-yl)pyridine chloride, which is also formed from the opening of the coumaran ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 892–895, July, 1990.

A series of 2-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,6-dichloro-5-diethylaminoethenyl-1,4-benzoquinones was synthesized from 2-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones using acetaldehyde and diethylamine in toluene solution. Refluxing these compounds with substituted thioureas in acetonitrile in the presence of hydrochloric acid gives the corresponding 2,5-bis(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,6-dichlorohydroquinones which can be oxidized to the target products with ferric chloride in aqueous DMF.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048, LatviaTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 835–839, June, 2000

Oxidative Recyclization of 4,6,7-Trichloro-5-hydroxy-2-(2-pyrimidylamino)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan

When 4,6,7-trichloro-5-hydroxy-2-(2-pyrimidylamino)- 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan reacted with phenyliodoso diacetate, an unexpected oxidative recyclization was observed to give 3-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine. 2-[N-2-(3,5,6-Trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)ethenylamino]pyrimidine is the intermediate product in the conversion.     

Synthesis of 3-substituted 5-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)thiazoline-2-thiones

By the interaction of 2, 5-dihydroxy-3, 4, 6, 7-tetrachloro-2, 3-dihydrobenzo(bjfuran with salts of N-monosubstituted dithiocarbamic acids, followed by oxidation of the resulting products by benzoquinone, 3-substituted S-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)thiazoline-2-thiones have been obtained. An alternative method of synthesis is also proposed, including reaction of the original benzofuran with N-substituted N',N'-dimethylthioureas, cyclization of the resulting thiouronium salt to form 3-substituted 5-(2, S-dihydroxy-3, 4, 6-trichlorophenyl)-2-dimethylattiinothiazolium cations, treatment of these cations with hydrogen sulfide, and subsequent oxidation of the hydroquinone fragment to quinone.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 111–114, January, 1994.     

Synthesis of the precursors of bis(trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl)tetrathiafulvalenes

In reaction with potassium butylxanthate and sodium tert-butyltrithionate, 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan forms the products from nucleophilic substitution of a chlorine atom, i.e., O-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) xanthate and S-tert-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) trithiocarbonate respectively. Recyclization of the xanthate in concentrated sulfuric acid gave 4-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-one, which was oxidized by iron trichloride to the corresponding benzoquinone. Cyclization of the trithiocarbonate in the presence of trifluoroacetic and p-toluenesulfonic acid led to 7-hydroxy-5,6,8-trichloro-3a,8b-dithiolo[4,5-b]benzo[d]furan-2-thione.Dedicated to Prof. A.

The structure of 2-phenylazo-5-(trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl)-thiazole

X-ray diffraction crystallographic analysis was used to determine the structure of 2-phenylazo-5-(trichloro- 1,4-benzoquinonyl)thiazole and these results were used to establish that 2-phenylazo-5-(2,5-dihydroxy- 3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)thiazole is formed in the reaction of 3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,5-dihydroxy-3 2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]furan with 1-phenylthiosemicarbazide.

Chlorination of 2,3,6-trialkyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones with HCl-MnO₂ in acetic acid gave a mixture of 7-chloro-2,3,6-trialkyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and 2,3,7-trichloro-2,3,6-trialkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diones, the latter being formed via addition of the second chlorine molecule to monochloro derivatives. The reduction of 2,3,7-trichloro-2,3,6-trialkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diones with sodium dithionite in alkaline medium resulted in the formation of 7-chloro-2,3,6-trialkyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones in high yield.     

An infrared study of the tautomerism of chlorinated 2-pyridinols isolated in an argon matrix

The infrared spectra of 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-monochloro-, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinols (pyridones), and of the unsubstituted 2-pyridinol isolated in a low temperature (20°K) argon matrix were studied. The results indicate that the enol/keto ratio for the isolated pyridinols decreases according to the position of the chlorine atom(s) on the pyridine ring; i.e., 3,5,6-trichloro >-6 > 5 > 4 > 3 monochloro-2-pyridinols. 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol exists predominantly in the enol form.     

Synthesis and properties of 2-amino-5-(5-nitro-2-furyl) thiazole derivatives

The hydrochlorides of the corresponding 2-aminothiazoles, which were converted to the free bases, were obtained by hydrolysis of 2-acylamino-5-(5-nitro-2-furyl) thiazoles.

Regioselective intramolecular ring closure of 2-amino-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxyhexono-1,4-lactones to 5- or 6-membered iminuronic acid analogues: synthesis of 1-deoxymannojirimycin and 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-D-glucitol

1-Deoxymannojirimycin (8c) was synthesised from 2-amino-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxy-D-mannono-1,4-lactone (7) by intramolecular direct displacement of the C-6 bromine employing non-aqueous base treatment followed by reduction of the intermediate methyl ester. Likewise, using aqueous base at pH 12, ring closure took place by 5-exo attack on the 5,6-epoxide leading to 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-L-gulonic acid (9b), which was reduced to 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-D-glucitol (9b). The method was further applied to 2-amino-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxy-D-galacto- as well as D-talo-1,4-lactones (14 and 15). However, only the corresponding six-membered ring 1,5-iminuronic acid mimetics, namely (2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxypipecolic acid (2,6-dideoxy-2,6-imino-D-galactonic acid, 16) and (2S,3R,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxypipecolic acid (2,6-dideoxy-2,6-imino-D-talonic acid, 17), were obtained. The corresponding enantiomers, L-galacto- as well as L-talo-2-amino-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxy-1,4-lactones ent-14 and ent-15, reacted accordingly to give the D-galacto- and L-altro-1,5-iminuronic acid mimetics, (2S,3S,4R,5S)-3,4,5-trihydroxypipecolic acid (2,6-dideoxy-2,6-imino-L-galactonic acid, ent-16) and (2R,3S,4R,5S)-3,4,5-trihydroxypipecolic acids (2,6-dideoxy-2,6-imino-L-talonic acid, ent-17), respectively.     

Crystal engineering using anilic acids and dipyridyl compounds through a new supramolecular synthon

The anilic acids, 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (1a), 2,5-dibromo-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (bromanilic acid; 1b), 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid; 1c), and 2,5-dicyano-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (cyananilic acid; 1d), were cocrystallized with rigid organic ligands containing two pyridine rings, 2,4-bipyridine (2a), 4,4'-bipyridine (2b), 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethylene (3a), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (3b), 2,2'-dipyridylacetylene (4a), 3,3'-dipyridylacetylene (4b), and 4,4'-dipyridylacetylene (4c). Fourteen complexes 5-18 were obtained as single crystals, and their crystal structures were successfully determined by X-ray analysis. All complexes except those with 2a are 1:1 and are composed of an infinite linear or zigzag tape structure, the formation of which is ascribed to intermolecular O-H...N, N(+)-H...O, or N(+)-H...O(-) hydrogen bonds or a combination of these between the anilic acids and the dipyridyl compounds. In the complexes 5 and 6, no infinite tape structure is observed although the molecular units connected by a similar hydrogen-bonding pattern are formed. For the 1:1 complexes, we have found two types of stacking arrangements, segregated stacks (7, 9, 12-15, 18) and alternated ones (8, 10, 11, 16, 17). In the complexes of 1c with the series of dipyridylacetylenes 4 (14, 15, 17), the neutral, dication, and monocaction states are formed depending on the nitrogen positions, which can be attributed to the different basicity of the pyridyl groups.     

Synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of some 3,5,6-trichloropyridine derivatives

Aromatic carboxylic acids on refluxing with 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetylhydrazide in POCl3 gave 5-aryl-2-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The hydrazide on treatment with acid chlorides gave diacylhydrazines, whereas with arylsulfonyl chlorides acyl(arylsulfonyl)hydrazines were obtained. The latter two types of compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities whereas 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were tested for their herbicidal activity.

Synthesis of trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl-substituted 2,2′-bithiazoles

2,2-Bi[5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)thiazole] and 6-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-imino-3,4-dihydro-4H-1,4-thiazin-3-thione are synthesized from 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan and dithiooxalyldiamide. The products are oxidized by FeCl₃ to the corresponding trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl-substituted sulfur-containing heterocycles. N-Methylation of 2,2-bithiazole by dimethyl sulfate gives 2,2-bi[5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-methylthiazolium] bismonomethyl sulfate. The last compound is readily transformed to 2,2-bi[5-(2-hydroxy-5-oxido-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-methylthiazolium] bisbetaine.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048, Latvia, Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 988–992, July, 1999.

Thiocyanation, Halogenation, Dehalogenation, Transhalogenation, and Nitration of 2-Substituted 4-(2-Furyl)thiazoles

Bromination and thiocyanation of 2-amino- and 2-acetylamino-4-(2-furyl)thiazoles when 1 mol of reagent is used at 10°C are directed to the 5 position. Formation of 5'-bromo-substituted derivatives when the reaction temperature is raised is the result of a secondary, thermodynamically controlled process. Monohalogenation and mononitration of 4-(2-furyl)-2-methylthiazole are directed to the 5' position. Nitration of 2-acetylamino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole by a nitrating mixture is accompanied by oxidative cleavage of the 5-nitrofuran moiety and leads to formation of 5,5'- and 3',5'-dinitro derivatives.
