SYNTHESES OF CYCLOHEPTATRIENES WITH SULFUR FUNCTIONAL GROUPS

Abstract

Disodium 1, 6-disulfido-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 3, formed by reduction of 1 with sodium in liq. ammonia, reacts with hydrogen chloride and methyl iodide to give 1, 6-dimercapto-, 4, and 1, 6-bis(methylthio)-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatrienes 5 respectively; however, it is oxidized by bromine to afford cyclic disulfide 6. 1, 6-Diiodo-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 2 is converted to 1, 6-bis(benzylthio)-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 7 by reaction with sodium phenylmethanethiolate, whereas similar reactions with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-iodo-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 9, obtained from 2 via 1-iodo-6-vinyl-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 8, give 1-benzylthio-6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 10. 1-Benzylthio-6-benzylthioethyl-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 11 is synthesized by the reaction from 9 via 1-(2-bromoethyl)-6-iodo-1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene 10. Attempts to synthesize thiols from 7, 11, and 12 are also described.     

Über die Struktur der Acrylnitril-Guanidin-Kondensate Über Heterocyclen, 78. Mitt.

Repetition of the work ofSugino andTamaka ¹ showed that acrylonitrile and guanidine react inDMF to yield not only 3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2—a]pyrimidine-2,8(1H)-diimine (1), but a mixture (F) of1 (as a main product) and 2-amino-4-imino-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-1-propionitrile (7) besides one or two bases not identified so far.1 and7 were isolated as picrates. For the prove of their structures,1- and7-picrate were also prepared by an unequivocal synthesis starting from iminodipropionitrile hydrochloride8 · HCl: The latter on reaction with cyanamide gave9 which cyclized to afford a mixture of1,7 and 2-amino-4-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-1-propionitrile (10). The picrates of1 and7 were identical with those prepared from the acrylonitrileguanidine-condensateF. This result supports the prior proposed¹ structures of pyrimidopyrimidine1 and of4,5 and6, obtained by hydrolysis of1. Nmr-, ir-and some of the mass spectra of1,4,7–10 (and their salts) are reported.

     

KINETIC STUDY ON PHOTOISOMERIZATION OF SOME TETRA- AND HEXASUBSTITUTED 4H-THIOPYRANS

Abstract

The effects of phenyl and methyl groups at 3,5-positions of tetrasubstituted 4H-thiopyrans 1a and 1b on photoisomerization are investigated from a kinetic point of view using ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. On irradiation of 1a-1d in benzene-d₆ solution the hexasubstituted 4H-thi-opyrans 1c and 1d, unlike those of the tetrasubstituted analogues 1a and 1b, give the isomeric 2H-thiopyrans 3c and 3d with no detectable signals for intermediates in ¹H-NMR spectra. The photoisomerization of hexasubstituted 4H-thiopyrans 1c and 1d occur with relative rate constants lower than the corresponding tetrasubstituted model compounds 1a and 1b. Moreover, the kinetic comparison of 1a with 1b reveal that the presence of two phenyl groups at 4-position of tetrasubstituted 4H-thiopyran increases the relative rate constant of photoisomerization.     

Bioactive sesquiterpenoids and steroids from the resinous exudates of Commiphora myrrha

Chemical investigation of the resinous exudates of Commiphora myrrha has led to the isolation of four sesquiterpenes (1a/1b, 2, and 3), including one pair of new sesquiterpene enantiomers (1a/1b), one new racemic mixture 2, and two steroids (4 and 5). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations of 1a/1b were determined by CD analysis. The antimigratory potential of compounds 1–5 were evaluated and compound 3 was found to inhibit human hepatocellular liver carcinoma HepG2 cell migration in dose-dependent manner.     

Binuclear aluminum complexes with amine–imine type ligands derived from 1,3-benzenedialdehyde: synthesis,structures and their catalytic properties in ring-opening polymerization

Reaction of 1,3-bis(imino)benzenes with a stoichiometric amount of LiAlH₄ in THF yields iminoaminobenzenes L1 and L2. Further reaction of iminoaminobenzenes L1 and L2 with an equivalent of AlR₃ in toluene affords macrocyclic binuclear aluminum complexes 1a, 1b, and 2a. These macrocyclic aluminum complexes were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and IR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1a, 1b, and 2a were further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1a, 1b, and 2a adopted a distorted tetrahedral geometry around aluminum. These complexes have efficient activities toward ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of benzyl alcohol.     

Tryptophan receptors containing acridine-based thiourea

Four derivatives of acridine and acridinium compounds (L1, L2, L1H and L2H) comprised thiourea-binding sites were synthesised. The binding abilities of receptors L1, L2, L1H and L2H towards amino acids (l-Trp, l-Phe, l-Leu, l-Ala and l-Gly) were studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy, UV–vis and fluorescence spectrophotometry. Hydrogen bonding interactions between thiourea-binding site of the ligand and the carboxylate groups in zwitterionic amino acids were found to be the main interactions driving complexation to take place. The stoichiometry of 1:1 ligand to amino acid was observed in all cases. Neutral ligands L1 and L2 showed weak binding towards all studied amino acids. The cyclic ligand L1 showed better binding ability towards tryptophan (Trp) than the acyclic ligand L2 did (K for Trp is 307 and 266 M^? 1 for L1 and L2, respectively). Interestingly, binding abilities of the protonated ligands, L1H and L2H, towards studied amino acids, especially Trp (K for Trp is 3157 and 2873 M^? 1 for L1H and L2H, respectively), were increased due to R–COO^? …H…N⁺–acridinium interactions. Calculated structures of L1H·Trp and L2H·Trp showed that the polyglycol moiety in L1H provided a hydrophobic cavity for binding Trp resulting in a stronger binding affinity of L1H over L2H.     

Reaktion von 2-(N-Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-1,4-benzochinonen Diazomethan. N-(Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-4,7-indazolchinone und ihre isomeren N-Methylderivate

The reaction of N-alkyl-p-hydroxyanilinobenzoquinones1 a–d, its acetylderivatives1 ₁–c₁ and the methoxyderivative1 a₂ with diazomethan yields in dependence on the reaction-conditions the indazolquinones2 a–d, 2 a₁–c₁ or2a ₂, the1-methylindazolquinones3 a–d and3 ₁–c₁, and finally the methoxy-1-methylindazolquinones5 a–d. The 2-methyl-isomeres6 a–d are formed only in small amounts. Methylation of2 a with dimethylsulfate gives5 a and6 a in the ratio of appr 2 to 1. Acetylation of2 a–d with acetanhydride leads to the N–O-acetylderivatives, which are easily hydrolyzed to2 a₁–d₁ during work up;3 a d yields3 a₁–d₁. The structures are established by the described crossexperiments and by spectroscopy (UV/VIS, IR, NMR).

Silicon Analogues of Triarylmethanol Hosts. Inclusion Properties and Host–guest Structures: A Comparative Study

The simple triarylmethanol hosts, 2 and 4, and their silicon analogues, 1 and 3, have been studied for comparison of the formation of crystalline inclusion compounds. Clathrate formation experiments showed that replacement of the carbinol C atoms in 2 and 4 by Si atoms to give 1 and 3 resulted in a distinct increase of the capability to form inclusion compounds with organic guests, in particular with alcohols. Moreover, the naphthyl derivatives are much more efficient than the phenyl species, irrespective of the carbinol and silanol features. In order to investigate and compare the guest recognition modes and packing relations of hosts 1–4 in their crystalline inclusion compounds, 11 selected co-crystals, namely 1·DMSO (2:1), 3·EtOH (1:1), 3· i-PrOH (1:1), 3·acetone (1:1), 3·DMSO (1:1), 3·THF (1:1), 3·piperidine (1:1), 4·acetone (1:1), 4·DMSO (1:1), 4·1,4-dioxane (1:1) and 4·benzene (1:1), were studied by X-ray diffraction from single crystals. The survey contains additional 11 crystal structures from the literature and provides a detailed discussion of isostructurality relationships.Supplementary Data relevant to this publication have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publications nos.

Heteroatom Effects on Singlet–Triplet Energy Gaps of Divalent Five-Membered Ring X2C2H2C (X = N,P, As,and Sb)

Thermal energy gaps, ΔE_s–t; enthalpy gaps, ΔH_s–t; and Gibbs free energy gaps, ΔG_s–t between the singlet (s) and triplet (t) states of X₂C₂H₂C, 1_X (X = CH, N, P, As, and Sb) were calculated and compared with those analogues, XC₂H₃C, 1′_X (X = N, P, As, and Sb) at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the ΔG_s-t, for 1_X (X = N and P) should be lower with respect to their monosubstituted 1′_X . In contrast, the ΔG_s-t for 1_X (X = As and Sb) should be larger with respect to 1′_X . The ΔG_s-t for 1_X and 1′_X were increased in the following order: 1_Sb > 1_As > 1_C > 1_P > 1_N ; 1′_Sb > 1′_As > 1′_P > 1_C > 1′_N , respectively.

Remarkably Efficient and Direct Route to Quinolines and Benzoazepines from the Condensation of Benzoxazinediones with Phosphonium Carbanion Salts

Treatment of 2H‐3,1‐benzoxazine‐2,4(1H)‐dione (1a) with vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (2a) gives substituted benzoazepine 8a (48% yield) and indolizinone 12 (27% yield), whereas substituted quinolinone 15 and benzoazepine 8b were isolated from the reaction of N‐methylisatoic anhydride (1b) and 2a. Furthermore, a series of quinoline derivatives was synthesized from the reactions of 1a and 1b with allyl‐(2b), alkyl‐(2c), (2d), and cyanomethyl‐(3) triphenylphosphonium salts.

All compounds were fully characterized, including X-ray crystallography for 1a and 3 with 1a being the first representative of this class of compounds characterized by this technique.     

The Reactions of Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene with Ligands Including Mercapto Groups

In this work, the reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene (trimer), N ₃ P ₃ Cl ₆ 1, with 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (methimazole) 2, 2-mercaptopyrimidine 3, and 2-mercaptopyridine 4 were discussed. Mono- (5) and pentasubstituted (6) phosphazenes were obtained from the reaction of 1 with 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole. Both mono- (7) and disubstituted geminal (8) phosphazenes were obtained from the reaction of 1 with 2-mercaptopyrimidine. But phoshazene or any phosphorus compound could not be isolated from the reaction of 1 with 2-mercaptopyridine.     

Multidentate bis(pyrazolylmethyl)pyridine ligands: coordination chemistry and binding properties with zinc(II) and cadmium(II) cations

The coordination chemistry and cationic binding properties of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (L1), 2,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (L2), and 2,6-bis(3,5-ditertbutylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (L3) with zinc(II) and cadmium(II) have been investigated. Reactions of L2 with zinc(II) and cadmium(II) nitrate or chloride salts produced monometallic complexes [Zn(NO₃)₂(L2)] (1), [ZnCl₂(L2)] (2), [Cd(NO₃)₂(L2)] (3), and [CdCl₂(L2)] (4). Solid state structures of 1 and 3 confirmed that L2 binds in a tridentate mode. While the nitrates in the zinc complex (1) adopt monodentate binding fashion, in cadmium complex (3), they exhibit bidentate mode. L1–L3 show binding efficiencies of 99% for zinc(II), 60% for lead(II), and 30% for cadmium(II) cations from aqueous solutions of the metal ions. Theoretical studies using Density Functional Theory were consistent with the observed extraction results.

Theoretical study on structures and stability of HC2P isomers

 The structures and isomerization pathways of various HC₂P isomers in both singlet and triplet states are investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), QCISD/6-311G(d,p) (for isomers only) and single-point CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) levels. At the CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level, the lowest-lying isomer is a linear HCCP structure ³ 1 in the ³∑⁻ state. The second low-lying isomer has a CPC ring with exocyclic CH bonding ¹ 5 in a singlet state at 10.5 kcal/mol. The following third and fourth low-lying isomers are a singlet bent HCCP structure ¹ 1 at 20.9 kcal/mol and a bent singlet HPCC structure ¹ 3 at 35.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Investigation of the HC₂P potential-energy surface indicates that in addition to the experimentally known isomer ³ 1, the other isomers ¹ 1, ¹ 3 and ¹ 5 also have considerable kinetic stability and may thus be observable. However, the singlet and triplet bent isomers HCPC ¹ 2 and ³ 2 as well as the triplet bent isomer HPCC ³ 3 are not only high-lying but are also kinetically unstable, in sharp contrast to the situation of the analogous HCNC and HNCC species that are both kinetically stable and that have been observed experimentally. Furthermore, the reactivity of various HC₂P isomers towards oxygen atoms is briefly discussed. The results presented here may be useful for future identification of the completely unknown yet kinetically stable HC₂P isomers ¹ 1, ¹ 3 and ¹ 5 either in the laboratory or in interstellar space.

Untersuchungen über Chinone, 9. Mitt. Über Acetylderivate vonp-Indazolchinonen

Summary Acetylation of the indazolquinones1a (6-anilino-),b (6-p-toluidino-),c (6-N-methylanilino-),g (6- or 5-methylthio-), andk (benz[f]-) by heating with acetic anhydride yields the 2-acetylindazolquinones4a, b, c, g, andk. Reductive acetylation of the quinones1c, g, h/h ₁(6/5-methyl),k and — for structure elucidation — their 1-N- (2c) and 2-N- (3c, 3e)-methyl derivatives with acetic anhydride, zink powder, and sodium acetate gives the 1-acetyl-(7c, g, h/h ₁,k), resp. 1-methyl- (8c), and 2-methyl- (9c, e) diacetoxyindazoles. In case of1k, two diacetyl derivatives were isolated in addition to the already known triacetyl derivative7k, regardless of the conditions chosen. Acetylation of the intermediate product of the reaction from phenylthio-benzoquinone with diazomethane also yields a triacetyl-hydroquinone (7f). UV/Vis, IR, and¹H NMR spectroscopy were used for structure determination. Comparison of the UV/Vis spectra of the acetyl derivatives4 with those of1, 2, 3, and of compounds7 with those of analog substituted indazols shows that the acetyl group is located in position 2 with compounds4 and in position 1 with compounds7. By means of¹H NMR spectra the position of the acetyl group can be determined by the effect of the carbonyl group on the proton in position3.
