A method has been developed for the synthesis of N²-adamantyl-2-amino-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones based on the reaction of (adamant-1-yl)alkylamine with 2-(ethylsulfanyl)-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone which can lead to the corresponding derivatives in which the exocyclic nitrogen atom and the adamantyl radical are separated by a hydrocarbon fragment. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1541–1544, October, 2006.     

New approach to the synthesis of substituted 5-arylcarbamoyl-3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1h)-thiones. Molecular and crystal structure of 2-allylthio-3-cyano-5-(2-methoxyphenylcarbamoyl)-6-methyl-4-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine

Morpholinium 5-arylcarbamoyl-3-cyano-6-methyl-4-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates have been obtained by the interaction of enamines of acetoacetanilides with 5-methyl-2-furfurylidenecyanothioacetamide. Alkylation of the salts gives thioethers and oxidation gives the corresponding substituted pyridine-2(1H)-thiones. The structure of 2-allylthio-3-cyano-5-(2-methoxyphenylcarbamoyl)-6-methyl-4-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine was studied by X-ray crystallographic analysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 51–58, January, 2006.     

Synthesis of 4-Hydroxy- and 4-Amino-2-Methyl-3-(2-Methylindol-3-Yl)methylquinolines and Their 6- and 8-Substituted Derivatives

A method has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 4-hydroxy- and 4-amino-2-methyl-3-(2-methylindol-3-yl)methylquinolines by treating the corresponding 4-hydroxy(chloro)-2-methyl-3-(3-oxobutyl)quinolines with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride. It was found that nucleophilic substitution occurred in the case of the 4-chloroquinolines together with subsequent rearrangement to give the 4-amino derivatives. The thiosemicarbazones of the corresponding 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(3-oxobutyl)quinolines were also obtained.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 554–557, April, 2005.     

Synthesis of 2,5 -Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene and 2,5-Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole

Syntheses of 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene 3 and 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole 4 are described. The key step involves Stetter reaction between 4-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and divinyl sulfone. Cyclizaton of the resulting 1,4-bis-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione 2 with Lawesson's reagent gives 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene 3, whereas condensation with ammonium acetate provides the 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole 4.     

A fluorescent sensor based on quinazoline ketone derivatives for selectivity of Fe3+

In this work, we provided a fluorescent sensor based on a compound containing fluorophore quinazoline ketone for detecting metal ions. 2-Methyl-4(3 H)-quinazoline thione was synthesised as a fluorescent probe for tervalent ferric ion (Fe³⁺) detection. Fluorescent determination of 2-methyl-4(3 H)-quinazoline thione indicated its maximum emission wavelength of 306.5 nm. The fluorescence interference and titration experiments have shown that the compound has a high selective fluorescence response to Fe³⁺. With an increase in the Fe³⁺ ion concentration, the fluorescence emission strength gradually weakened, and a slight red shift appeared. With Job’s method, 2-methyl-4(3 H)-quinazoline thione was proved to form a 1:2 complex with Fe³⁺. The results revealed that 2-methyl-4(3 H)-quinazoline thione could be used as a fluorescent probe for the recognition of Fe³⁺ with high selectivity.     

Purines, Pyrimidines, and Condensed Systems Based on them. 18. Reaction of 6,8-Dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)dione N(2)-oxide with Alkylamines

Heating 6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione N₍₂₎-oxide (2) with piperidine or morpholine gave a moderate yield of 3-piperidino- and 3-morpholino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones (3a,b). Reaction of N-oxide (2) with ammonia and alkylamines in the presence of an oxidant led to formation of the 3-amino derivatives of 2 and the corresponding desoxy products 3. The latter were also obtained by an independent method by heating 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with alkylamines in butanol.

The oxidation of methyl 6-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-3-pyrimidinylacetate by reagents which oxidized the SMe group to SO₂Me gave the products of the further transformation of the corresponding 2-methylsulfonyl-substituted ester obtained: methyl 5,5-dichloro-6-methoxy-6-methyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-3-pyrimidinylacetate (using Cl₂ in 70 or 50% MeOH), its mixture (about 1:10) with methyl 6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinylacetate (Cl₂ in 30% MeOH) or only to the latter compound (Cl₂ in H₂O, m-ClC₆H₄CO₃H in CHCl₃, H₂O₂ in MeOH). The reaction did not take place with NaOCl in DMF. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 901–905, June, 2006.

Enamine Configuration of 5-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-[（Z）-3-tolylamino-phenylmethylene]pyrazol-3（2H）-one

1 INTRODUCTION In contrast to the old-line academic and practical studies of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazo- lone (PMBP) on the metal coordination chemistry[1], the complexes of β-ketoamines derivated from PMBP received little attention due to its complicated com- plexation. However, in recent years, there has a sudden growth of this area as a result of its timely interest in biological activities[2]. Recently, a series of β-ketoamines[3] containing PMBP have been prepared fro…     

Chemistry of Spontaneous Alkylation of Methimazole with 1,2-Dichloroethane

Spontaneous S-alkylation of methimazole (1) with 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) into 1,2-bis[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thio]ethane (2), that we have described recently, opened the question about its formation pathway(s). Results of the synthetic, NMR spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational studies suggest that, under given conditions, 2 is obtained by direct attack of 1 on the chloroethyl derivative 2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (3), rather than through the isolated stable thiiranium ion isomer, i.e., 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium chloride (4a, orthorhombic, space group Pnma), or in analogy with similar reactions, through postulated, but unproven intermediate thiiranium ion 5. Furthermore, in the reaction with 1, 4a prefers isomerization to the N-chloroethyl derivative, 1-chloroethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione (7), rather than alkylation to 2, while 7 further reacts with 1 to form 3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c). Additionally, during the isomerization of 3, the postulated intermediate thiiranium ion 5 was not detected by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, nor by trapping with AgBF₄. However, trapping resulted in the formation of the silver complex of compound 3, i.e., bis-{2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole}-silver(I)tetrafluoroborate (6_, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c), which cyclized upon heating at 80 °C to 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium tetrafluoroborate (4b, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c). Finally, we observed thermal isomerization of both 2 and 2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8), into 1,2-bis(2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione-1-yl)ethane (9), which confirmed their structures.

The nitration of 2-(5-methyl-2-furyl)quinoxaline was carried out at C_(4'). Oxidative splitting of the -nitrofuryl group occurs at the C₍₄₎-C₍₅₎ and C₍₅₎-O bonds.     

Tributylphosphine Catalyzed O -Vinylation of 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4 H -pyran-4-one

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates produced in the reaction between tributylphosphine and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4 H -pyran-4-one leads to vinyltributylphosphonium salts, which undergo an addition-elimination reaction in CH 2 Cl 2 at room temperature to produce dimethyl 2-[(2-methyl-4-oxo-4 H -pyran-3-yl)oxy]-2-butenedioate (1:1 mixtures of E and Z isomers) in fairly good yields.     

Reaction of furfurylidene acetone with Grignard reagents

The interaction of furfurylidene acetone with methylmagnesium iodide and ethylmagnesium halides has been studied. In the first case 2-methyl-4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-ol is formed as the product of 1,2-addition (yield 73 %). In the second case 4-(2-furyl)-2-hexanone (42 %) is the result of 1,4-addition, whereas 3-methyl-5-(2-furyl)-3-heptanol (45 %) is formed by consecutive 1,2- and 1,4-addition. In all cases the products of 1,3-addition were found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 921–923, May, 1993.     

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of complex of Ce(NO_3)_3 with N-(3-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-formimidoyl-(3-methyl-pyridin-2-yl) hydrazone

Rare earth complexes with organic ligands have been used as luminescence-material usually. Except their luminescent property, the complexes of trivalent lanthanide ions have low toxicity and powerful para-magnetic properties[1,2], so the lanthanide complexes are associated with important biological uses as diag-nostic tools and medicines[36]. Recently, there are some reports on Ce(III) complexes, some of which show anti-cancer activities[7]. S- tetrazines can be used as poly-dentate chelatin…

Metallorganische Verbindungen mit N-substituierten 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridon-Liganden: quadratisch-planare Rhodium(I)-, Iridium(I)- und Palladium(II)-Komplexe

Organometallic Compounds with N -substituted 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridone Ligands: square planar Rhodium(I), Iridium(I), and Palladium(II) Complexes Reactions of [(OC)₂MCl]₂ (M = Rh, Ir) or [(cod)RhCl]₂ with the anions of N-Aryl or N-Alkyl substituted 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridones (O–O′) yield complexes of the general formula [L₂M(O–O′)]. Compounds of this type are also available from reactions of [(OC)₂Rh(acac)] with the corresponding neutral ligands. Substitution of one carbonyl-ligand of the N-phenyl complex [(OC)₂Rh(C₁₂H₁₀NO₂)] ( 2 ) with cyclooctene affords [(OC)(C₈H₁₄)Rh(C₁₂H₁₀NO₂)] ( 8 ).

2-[3-Phenyl-5-(m-Chlorophenyl)-2-Pyrazolin-1-yl]-3-Methyl-4(3H)-Quinazolinone

There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit (I and II). The structure consists of a 2-pyrazoline ring and three aromatic rings two of which are free and the third one is condensed with a 3-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidine ring (4(3H)-Quinazolinone). While the pyrazoline ring is in the distorted envelope conformation, the free aromatic rings are planar and the pyrimidine ring deviates from the planarity. The crystal structure is stabilized by C–HO inter and intramolecular bonds.
