Formation of Azulenequinone Derivatives from Variously Functionalized Azulenes by Bromine-oxidation

Variously functionalized 1,5- and 1,7-azulenequinones were easily derived in one-pot in 30-50% yield from the bromine-oxidation of 2-methoxyazulene and 2-methyl derivatives of 1-cyano-, 1-methoxycarbonyl- and its 7-isopropyl derivatives, while 1-methoxycarbonylazulene afforded several unstable products from which we could not isolate any azulenequinones. 1-Acetylazulene afforded 3-bromo-1,5- and -1,7-azulenequinones via side-chain brominated intermediates in high yield. 1,3-Dichloroazulene afforded a mixture of 3-chloro-1,5- and −1,7-azulenequinones, while 1-fluoro- and 1,3-diiodoazulene gave a mixture of 3-bromoazulenequinones. Analogous oxidation of 1,3-difluoroazulene produced 3-fluoroazulenequinones, but we could not isolate them due to its instability. Hydroxy group of 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)azulene was intact during this quinone formation reaction.     

Formation of 3-Bromo-1,5- and −1,7-Azulenequinones from 1-Alkyl-and 1-Phenylazulenes by Substituent Extrusion on the Bromine- Oxidation in Aqueous THF. Remarkable Substituent Effects on the Product Distribution

Oxidation of 1-ethyl-, 1-propylazulenes, and their 5-isopropyl derivatives with bromine gave 3-bromo-1,5- and 3-bromo-l,7-azulenequinones (Type A) together with 3-bromo-l-hydroxy-5-isopropyl-l-alkylazulen-7-one and its isomeric products (Type B), while the same reaction of 1-methylazulenes afforded Type B products along with many unidentified products. On the other hand, 1-phenylazulene gave 3-phenyl-1,5- and 3-phenyl-l,7-azulenequinones (Type C) and Type B products in high yie]ds. 1,2-Polymethyleneazulenes afforded a considerable amount of 3-bromo-2-(ω-formylalkyl)azulenequinones together with Type B products. Possible pathways for the extrusion of the alkyl substituent at C-l are discussed.     

Effective 1,5-, 1,6- and 1,7-remote stereocontrol in reactions of alkoxy- and hydroxy-substituted allylstannanes with aldehydes

Alk-2-enylstannanes with 4-, 5- and 6-alkoxy- or -hydroxy-substituents are transmetallated stereoselectively with tin(iv) halides to generate allyltin trihalides which react with aldehydes to give (Z)-alk-3-enols with useful levels of 1,5-, 1,6- and 1,7-stereocontrol. Alk-2-enylstannanes with a stereogenic centre bearing a hydroxy or alkoxy group at the 4-, 5- or 6-position, react with overall (Z)-1,5-, 1,6- and 1,7-syn-stereoselectivity with respect to the hydroxy and alkoxy substituents. The analogous reactions of alkoxy- and -hydroxyalk-2-enylstannanes with a methyl bearing stereogenic centre at the 4- or 5-position react with overall (Z)-1,5- and 1,6-anti-stereoselectivity with respect to the hydroxy and methyl substituents.     

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes of 1,5- and 1,7-dihydro-s-indacenes and their derivatives

The reaction of (C₅Me₅RhCl₂)₂ with AgSbF₆ in the presence of 1,5- and 1,7- dihydro-s-indacenes or 2,6-dimethyl-1,5- and 1,7-dihydro-s-indacenes provides stable η⁵- or η⁶-monorhodium complexes, respectively. A novel phane rhodium complex is described.     

Synthesis of 1,2-dihydroindolo [1,7-AB] [1,5] benzodiazepines and related structures. A new heterocyclic ring system

The synthesis of the novel 1,2-dihydroindolo [1,7-ab][1,5]benzodiazepine ring system 4 is described. Condensation of 2-fluoronitrobenzene with indoline provided the starting material for the synthesis, 1-(2-nitrophenyl)indoline (1a) in high yield. The nitro group was reduced catalytically and the resulting amino function was acylated to afford the heterocycle percursor amide 3. Refluxing this amide in phosphorus oxychloride brought about a Bischler-Napieralski type cyclodehydration to form the target 1,2-dihydroindolo[1,7-ab][1,5]benzodiazepine ring system. Dehydrogenation of the latter led to the fully aromatic indolo[1,7-ab][1,5]benzodiazepine structure 5, while reduction with sodium borohydride provided the 1,2,6,7-tetrahydroindolo[1,7-ab]-[1,5]benzodiazepine tetracycle 6.     

On the bromination of 1,7- and 1,8-Naphthyridine in nitrobenzene

By application of the Kress procedure for bromination it has been found that from the hydro-bromide of 1,7-naphthyridine with 1.1 equivalents of bromine in nitrobenzene a mixture of 3-and 5-bromo- and 3,5-dibromo-1,7-naphthyridine is obtained in reasonable yield. With an excess of bromine 3,5-dibromo-1,7-naphthyridine is nearly exclusively formed. Similar brominations of the hydrobromide of 1,8-naphthyridine with 1.1 equivalents of bromine gave 3-bromo- and 3,6-dibromo-1,8-naphthyridine. By using an excess of bromine a high-yield conversion into 3,6-dibromo-1,8-naphthyridine is observed. Bromination of the hydrochloride salt of 1,7- and 1,8-naphthyridine affords the same bromo derivatives.     

diazaindenes (azaindoles)—IV : Oxidation of 1,5- and 1,7-diazaindenes and a novel route to 3-substituted diazaindenes

Treatment of certain 1,5- and 1,7-diazaindenes with a small molar excess of hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid causes opening of the pyrrole ring with loss of the 2-C atom to give aminopyridyl ketones or aminopyridine carboxylic acids. The former have been used as intermediates in the synthesis of 3-substituted diazaindenes by reaction with dimethylsulphonium methylide. Stable iodine complexes with 1,5-diazaindenes may be formed: 6-(4-aminopyrid-3-yl)-6-oxohexanoic acid gave 4-(1-methyl-1,5-diazainden-3-yl)butanoic acid.     

Synthesis and nmr spectra of the six isomeric thieno[c]-fused 1,7- and 1,8-naphthyridines

Through the use of Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling between 2- and 4-formyl-3-thiopheneboronic acid and 4-iodo-3-aminopyridine ( 1 ) and 3-bromo-2-aminopyridine, convenient one-pot procedures for the preparation of thieno[2,3-c]-1,7-naphthyridine ( 2 ), thieno[3,4-c]-1,7-naphthyridine ( 3 ), thieno[2,3-c]-1,8-naphthyridine ( 6 ) and thieno[3,4-c]-1,8-naphthyridine ( 7 ) have been developed. Thieno[3,2-c]-1,7-naphthyridine ( 4 ) and thieno[3,2-c]-1,8-naphthyridine ( 8 ) were obtained through the coupling of 2-tri-n-butylstannyl-3-thiophenaldehyde with 2,2-dimethyl-N-(4-iodo-3-pyridinyl)propanamide and 3-bromo-2-acetamidopyridine ( 1 ). The yield of 8 was further increased when copper(II) oxide was used as the co-reagent. The ¹³C nmr spectra of the six isomeric thieno[c]-fused 1,7- and 1,6-naphthyridines are discussed.     

Novel tricyclic diamines 2. Synthesis of 1,7-diazaisoadamantane, 1,5-diazaisoadamantane and 1,6-diazahomobrendane

Three novel tricyclic diamines (1,7-diazaisoadamantane, 1,5-diazaisoadamantane and 1,6-diazahomobrendane) were prepared. A flexible synthetic strategy was employed which used flat, aromatic azaindoles as the starting materials. The requisite azaindoles were prepared by a tandem Sonogashira coupling/intramolecular cyclization reaction. Ring saturation, appropriate functionalization and intramolecular alkylation provided the three novel tricyclic diamines cores.     

Nucleophilic Substitution in 1,5-Benzodiazepin-2-ones

The reaction of 3-bromo-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one with cyclic amines gives 3-aminoalkyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one. Thiazolo[4,5-b][1,5]benzodiazepine was isolated along with the substitution product when thiourea was used.     

Synthesis and characterization of new macrocyclic Schiff base derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and its Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Co(III) and La(III) complexes

A new macrocyclic ligand, 1,3,5-triaza-2,4:7,8:16,17-tribenzo-9,12,15-trioxacyclooktadeca-1,5-dien (L) was synthesized by reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane. Then, its Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Co(III) and La(III) complexes were synthesized by template effect by reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, Pb(NO₃)₂, Co(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, La(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O, respectively. The ligand and its metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis spectra, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, conductivity measurements, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetry. All complexes are diamagnetic and Cu(II) complex is binuclear. The Co(II) was oxidized to Co(III). The comparative electrochemical studies show that the nickel complex exhibited a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction process while copper and cobalt complexes gave irreversible reduction processes in DMSO solution.     

Synthesis of novel 1,7-annulated 4,6-dimethoxyindoles

A range of new 1,7-annulated indole derivatives has been prepared via a ring-closing metathesis approach starting from N-allyl-7-formyl indoles.     

An investigation of the scope of the 1,7-electrocyclization of α,β:γ,δ-conjugated azomethine ylides

Substituents on the diene component have little influence on the periselectivity of the cyclizations of α,β:γ,δ-conjugated azomethine ylides, with 1,7-electrocyclizations predominating. In some cases, subtle changes to these substituents can, however, influence the product formed, through their effect on the relative energies of the transition states for the 1,5- (6π) and 1,7-electrocyclization (8π) processes. The most striking changes in periselectivity occur for phenylethenyl-substituted azomethine ylides 3d–f, which can give either a pyrroline 4d,f or dihydrobenzazepine 6e, depending upon the alkene configuration.     

Synthesis and properties of polyimides derived from 1,7-bis(4-aminophenoxy)naphthalene and aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides

The novel diamine, 1,7-bis(4-aminophenoxy)naphthalene (1,7-BAPON), was synthesized and used to prepared polyimides. 1,7-BAPON was synthesized through the nucleophilic displacement of 1,7-dihydroxynaphthalene with p-fluoronitrobenzene in the presence of K₂CO₃ followed by catalytic-reduction. Polyimides were prepared from 1,7-BAPON and various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides by the usual two-step procedure that included ring-opening polyaddition to give poly(amic acid)s, followed by cyclodehydration to polyimides. The poly(amic acid)s had inherent viscosities of 0.74-2.48 dL/g. Most of the polyimides formed tough, creasible films. These polyimides had glass transition temperatures between 247–278°C and their 10% weight loss temperatures were recorded in the range of 515–575°C in nitrogen atmosphere. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of regioisomerically pure 1,7-disubstituted perylene bisimide dyes

A detailed study on bromination and subsequent imidization of perylene bisanhydride with cyclohexylamine is reported. The present results reveal that previously reported 1,7-difunctionalized perylene bisimides are presumably contaminated with the respective 1,6 regioisomers. N,N'-Dicyclohexyl-1,7-dibromoperylene bisimide 1,7-3 is obtained for the first time in isomerically pure form, and its structure is unequivocally confirmed by X-ray analysis. By using regioisomerically pure 1,7-dibromoperylene bisimide 1,7-3, 1,7-dipyrrolidinylperylene bisimides 4a-c and 1,7-dipyrrolidinylperylene bisanhydride 5 as well as the unsymmetrically difunctionalized 1-bromo-7-pyrrolidinyl- and 1-cyano-7-pyrrolidinylperylene bisimides 7 and 8 are synthesized in good yield.     

Synthesis of Closo-1,7-Carboranyl Alkyl Amines

Of the three closo-carborane isomers (C₂B₁₀H₁₂), closo-1,2-carborane has been used most widely in the synthesis of carboranyl amines. However, closo-1,2-carboranes are prone to deboronation to nido-7,8-carborane under various conditions including attack by basic amino groups. In order to overcome this problem, closo-1,7-carboranyl ethyl-, propyl-, and butylamine were synthesized, which should be more stable towards basic deboronation than their closo-1,2-carboranyl counterparts. These closo-1,7-carboranyl amines (5, 18 and 19) were synthesized using two different methods, both starting from the corresponding closo-1,7-carboranyl alkyl iodides (3, 14 and 15). One of the carboranyl alkyl amine (5) was conjugated with folic acid to form a closo-1,7-carborane-folic acid bioconjugate (20).     

Synthesis of 1,3-diarylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines with a combinatorial approach: metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 1-halo-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines with arylmetal reagents

The halogenation of 3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines was carried out with iodine, bromine, N-chlorosuccinimide, and 1-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as halogenating agents to give selectively halogenated products 1-halo-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in good to excellent yields. Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-coupling of the obtained 1-iodo-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines and aryl Grignard reagents led to 1,3-diarylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in good to excellent yields. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of the 1-bromo-3-phenylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine and p- or m-methoxycarbonylphenylboronic acids furnished the coupling product in respective yields of 91% and 61%. The obtained 1,3-diarylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines showed a wide variety of fluorescent emissions in a wavelength range of 449-533 nm with improved quantum yields compared to monoarylated ones.
