Ring contraction during the 6pi-electrocyclisation of naphthopyran valence tautomers

The thermal and photochemical ring-opening of spiro(3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3,9'-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide) results in the facile ring-contraction to 9-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide . Similar behaviour is displayed by the isomeric spiro(2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2,9'-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide) affording 9-(naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide , though more severe reaction conditions were required. The comparative ease of this rearrangement for the isomers and was rationalised on the basis of the relative isomer populations of the ring-opened naphthopyrans. The rearrangement of simple mono- and bis-methylsulfonylphenyl substituted photochromic naphthopyrans , was examined; the former failed to rearrange whereas the latter could be induced to rearrange only under prolonged UV irradiation. The photochromism of diastereoisomerically pure sulfoxides derived from the oxidation of spiro(3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3,9'-thioxanthene) and spiro(2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2,9'-thioxanthene) resulted in conversion to the most thermodynamically stable trans-isomer in each case.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Reactivity of Naphtho-Fused 2-(Furan-2-yl)-1,3-thiazole

The condensation of naphthalen-2-amine with furan-2-carbonyl chloride in propan-2-ol gave N-(naphthalen-2-yl)furan-2-carboxamide which was treated with excess P₂S₅ in anhydrous toluene to obtain the corresponding thioamide. The oxidation of the latter with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline medium afforded 2-(furan-2-yl)naphtho[2,1-d][1,3]thiazole. A probable mechanism of its formation was proposed, and the ring closure involving C¹ of the naphthalene fragment was substantiated by quantum chemical calculations. Electrophilic substitution reactions of 2-(furan-2-yl)naphtho[2,1-d][1,3]thiazole (nitration, bromination, formylation, and acylation) involved exclusively the 5-position of the furan ring.

[reaction: see text]. Photochromic pyrans, including [3H]naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans, [2H]naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans, indeno-fused naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans, and heteroannulated pyrans, were synthesized in excellent yields through a facile one-pot procedure by reaction of propargyl alcohol and naphthol or phenol derivatives in the presence of 5 mol % PPTS and 2 equiv of (MeO)3CH.

Synthesis of some new pyrimidine selanyl derivatives

The targeted synthesis of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(furan-2-yl)-4(3H)-selenoxo -pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile failed due to the formation 1-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-6-oxo -4-(furan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile. A new series of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzo thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-yl substituted selanyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction of sodium diselenide with 4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine followed by the reaction with chloroacetic acid derivatives such as ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetamide or chloroacetonitrile. Hydrazinolysis of ethyl (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine- 4-ylselanyl)acetate with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative. The latter reacted with ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone, diethyl malonate, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile or ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacetate to afford 5-methyl-2-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazol-3-one, 1-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-2- (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)ethanone, 1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro -1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 5-Amino-1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-1H-pyrazol -4-yl substituted carbonitrile or ethyl carboxylate, respectively.

Unusual cyclization of N-imidazolyl quinone imines with the formation of thiadiazole ring and its subsequent recyclization

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-{[2-(2-aryl-2-oxoethylthio)-1H-imidazol-1-yl]imino}cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones under the action of bases give products of the 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol- 3-ol series by subsequent recyclization reaction of the intermediate imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles. The structure of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ol is supported by the X-ray diffraction. The features of the cyclization processes of quinone imine derivatives were stimulated by DFT calculations using the wB97XD/6-311++G** method.

Condensation of the hyd- razide with monosaccharide aldoses gave the corresponding sugar hydrazones, which on treatment with acetic anhydride readily undergo cyclization reaction to afford oxadiazoline derivatives.

Determination of the stereochemistry of gamma-butyrolactones by DPFGSE-NOE experiments

The stereochemistry of gamma-butyrolactons tetrahydro-6a-phenylfuro[3,4-b]furan-2(3H)-one (1), 1,4,5,9b-tetrahydro-3a-methylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan-2(3aH)-one (2), 1,4,5,9 b-tetrahydro-3a-methylfuro[2,3-c]quinolin-2(3aH)-one (3) and hexahydro-furo[3,2-c]benzofuran-2-one (4) was studied using DPFGSE-NOE experiments. Compounds 1-3 contain two stereocenters, while 4 contains three. Both (1)H and (13)C spectra showed a single diastereomer of all the compounds. Routine 2D experiments (DQF)-COSY, HMQC/HSQC, and HMBC were used to assign (1)H and (13)C spectra completely. Diastereotopic methylene protons with resolved (1)H NMR signals as well as protons of cyclohexane served as references for the construction of the spatial arrangement in the molecules. NOE contacts between protons attached to the stereocenter and the diastereotopic protons were thus used to determine the configuration of the molecules. Vicinal coupling constants (3)J assisted the assignment of the conformational arrangement of the cyclohexane ring of 4.
