Diels–Alder Reactions with Cyclic Sulfones: VII. Synthesis of 1-Benzothiophene 1,1-Dioxide Derivatives

5-Arylmethylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones reacted with 5-isopropenyl-2,3-dihydrothio-phene 1,1-dioxide to give the corresponding ortho-addition products, 5-aryl-2',2',7-trimethyl-3,3a,5,6-tetra-hydro-2H-spiro[1-benzothiophene-4,5'-[1,3]dioxane]-4',6'-dione 1,1-dioxides. Their aminolysis resulted in opening of the 1,3-dioxane ring and formation of 4-carbamoyl-7-methyl-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1-benzo-thiophene-4-carboxylic acid 1,1-dioxide whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis. Reactions of the spiro adducts with amines and hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding mono- or dicarboxylic acid monoamides (hydrazide).     

Regioselectivity of cyclization of 3-allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indoles

The interaction of 3-allylsulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with iodine led to 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2',3':3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-11-ium pentaiodide with an angular structure, on the basis of which 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-, 1-methylidene-1,2-di-hydro[1,3]thiazolo, and 1-methyl[1,3]thiazolo derivatives were obtained. The intramolecular cyclization of 3-propargyl(allyl)sulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indoles under the influence of concentrated sulfuric acid led to linear annelated products:3-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':2,3][1,2,4]tri-azino[5,6-b]indole or its 2,3-dihydro derivative.

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Hydrazides Based on Pyridoxine Derivatives

Pyridoxine derivatives, 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4- and -5-carbohydrazides, were synthesized according to optimized known procedures, and a method for the synthesis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbohydrazide was developed. The hydroxymethyl groups in positions 5 and 6 of 2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine showed different reactivities, and only the 6-hydroxymethyl group was selectively oxidized to aldehyde under mild conditions. The lactone ring in 5,6-dihydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridin-7(5H)-one was found to be stable to nucleophiles. The synthesized hydrazides showed no antimycobacterial activity.     

Extreme electronic modulation of the cofacial porphyrin structural motif

The synthesis, electrochemistry, and optical spectroscopy of an extensive series of cofacial bis[(porphinato)zinc(II)] compounds are reported. These species were synthesized using sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and cobalt-mediated [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions. This modular methodology enables facile control of the nature of macrocycle-to-macrocycle connectivity and allows unprecedented modulation of the redox properties of face-to-face porphyrin species. We report the synthesis of 5,6-bis[(5',5'-10',20'-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (1), 5,6-bis[(2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato)zinc(II)]indane (2), 5-([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(5"-10',20'-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (3), 5-([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(5' '-10' ',20' '-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (4), 5-(2'-5',10',15',20'-[tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato)zinc(II)]indane (5), 5,6-bis([2'-5',15'-diphenyl-10',20'-(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))indane (6), and 5,6-bis([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))indane (7); 4-7 define the first examples of cofacial bis[(porphinato)metal] compounds in which sigma-electron-withdrawing perfluoroalkyl groups serve as macrocycle substituents, while 2, 6, and 7 constitute the first such structures that possess a beta-to-beta linkage topology. Cyclic voltammetric studies show that the electrochemically determined HOMO and LUMO energy levels of these cofacial bis(porphinato) complexes can be lowered by 780 and 945 mV, respectively, relative to the archetypal members of this class of compounds; importantly, these orbital energy levels can be modulated over well-defined increments throughout these wide potentiometric domains. Analyses of these cofacial bis[(porphinato)metal] potentiometric data, in terms of the absolute and relative frontier orbital energies of their constituent [porphinato]zinc(II) building blocks, as well as the nature of macrocycle-to-macrocycle connectivity, provide predictive electronic structural models that rationalize the redox behavior of these species.     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)

The reactions of 2-dimethyliminomethyl-3-(p-nitrophenyl)aminoindole chloride with compounds with an active methylene center have been studied. A series of derivatives of -carboline have been synthesized. By the reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1-p-nitrophenylpyrido[3,2-b]indolinium chloride with the diethyl acetal of DMF the corresponding 2-dimethylaminovinyl derivative was synthesized which was converted into 5-p-nitrophenyl-1-oxo-1,10-dihydropyrano[3',4':5,6]pyrido[3,2-b]indol-5-ium chloride in the presence of acid.

Indole derivatives

The Fischer cyclization of arylhydrazones of 1,3-dimethyl-, 1, 3, 5-trimethyl-, and 1, 3, 6-trimethyl-4-piperidones is examined. An unusual duration of the reaction is found, resulting in rearrangement products (1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydropyrimido[3,4-a]indoles). It is shown that hydrogenation of the latter gives 2-(-dimethylaminoalkyl)-3-methylindoles.For Part XXX, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1219–1224, September, 1970.

Distance dependence of electron transfer in rigid,cofacially compressed,pi-stacked porphyrin-bridge-quinone systems

The electron-transfer (ET) dynamics of a series of unusually rigid pi-stacked porphyrin-quinone (P-Q) systems, in which sub-van der Waals interplanar distances separate juxtaposed porphyryl, aromatic bridge, and quinonyl components of these assemblies, are reported. The photoinduced charge separation (CS) and thermal charge recombination (CR) ET reactions of [5-[8'-(2',5'-benzoquinonyl)-1'-naphthyl]-10,20-diphenylporphinato]zinc(II) (1a-Zn), [5-[8'-(4'-[8'"-(2'"',5'"'-benzoquinonyl)-1'"-naphthyl]-1'-phenyl)-1'-naphthyl]-10,20-diphenylporphinato]zinc(II) (2a-Zn), and [5-(8'-[4'-(8'"-[4'"'-(8'"-[2'"',5'"'-benzoquinonyl]-1'"-naphthyl)-1'"'-phenyl]-1'"-naphthyl)-1'-phenyl]-1'-naphthyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]zinc(II) (3a-Zn) in CH(2)Cl(2) were investigated by pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. Analyses of these data show that the phenomenological ET distance dependence (beta) for both the CS and CR reactions in these systems is soft (beta(CS) = 0.43 A(-1); beta(CR) = 0.35 +/- 0.16 A(-1)). This work demonstrates that simple aromatic building blocks such as benzene, which are characterized by highly stabilized filled molecular orbitals and large HOMO-LUMO gaps, can provide substantial D-A electronic coupling when organized within a pi-stacked structural motif that features a modest degree of arene-arene interplanar compression.
