Aminoacids in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. The synthesis of methyl 2-acetylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate and 2-(N-methyl-N-trifluoroacetyl)amino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate and their application in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds

Methyl (Z)-2-acetylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate (3) was prepared from N-acetylglycine (1), which was converted with N,N-dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride into 4-dimethylaminomethylene-2-methyl-5(4H)-oxazolone (2), followed by treatment with methanol in the presence of potassium carbonate, into 3. The compound 3 was shown to be a versatile reagent in the synthesis of various heterocyclic systems. With N-nucleophiles, such as heterocyclic amines 4, either methyl 2-acetylamino-3-heteroarylaminopropenoates 5 or fused pyrimidinoncs 6 were formed, dependent on the reaction conditions and/or heterocyclic substituents: C-nuclcophiles with an active or potentially active methylene group, such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 7, 8 and 9, substituted phenols 10a,b, naphthols 11, 12a-c, and substituted coumarin 13a, afforded substituted pyranones 20 and 22, and fused pyranones 21, 23–26. The nitrogen containing heterocycles 14–19 produced pyranoazines 27–31 and pyranoazole 32. In all of these systems the acetylamino group is attached at position 3 of the newly formed pyranone ring. The orientation around the double bond for methyl (Z)-2-(N-methyl-N-trifluo-roacetyl)-3-dimethylaminopropenoate (36) was established by X-ray analysis.     

Family of mixed-valence oxovanadium(IV/V) dinuclear entities incorporating N4O3-coordinating heptadentate ligands: synthesis, structure, and EPR spectra

Dinuclear (V(IV)V(V)) oxophenoxovanadates of general formula [V2O3L] have been synthesized in excellent yields by reacting bis(acetylacetonato)oxovanadium(IV) with H3L in a 2:1 ratio in acetone under an N2 atmosphere. Here L3- is the deprotonated form of 2,6-bis[{{(2-hydroxybenzyl)(N',N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L1), 2,6-bis[{{(5-methyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)(N',N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L2), 2,6-bis[{{(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)(N',N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L3), 2,6-bis[{{(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzyl)(N',N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol(H3L4), 2,6-bis[{{(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(N'N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L5), or 2,6-bis[{{(5-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzyl)(N'N'-(dimethylamino)ethyl)}methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L6). In [V2O3L1], both the metal atoms have distorted octahedral geometry. The relative disposition of two terminal V=O groups in the complex is essentially cis. The O=V...V=O torsion angle is 24.6(2) degrees . The V-O(oxo)-V and V-O(phenoxo)-V angles are 117.5(4) and 93.4(3) degrees , respectively. The V...V bond distance is 3.173(5) A. X-ray crystallography, IR, UV-vis, and 1H and 51V NMR measurements show that the mixed-valence complexes contain two indistinguishable vanadium atoms (type III). The thermal ellipsoids of O2, O4, C10, C14, and C15 also suggests a type III complex in the solid state. EPR spectra of solid complexes at 77 K display a single line indicating the localization of the odd electron (3d(xy)1). Valence localization at 77 K is also consistent with the 51V hyperfine structure of the axial EPR spectra (3d(xy)1 ground state) of the complexes in frozen (77 K) dichloromethane solution: S = 1/2, g(parallel) approximately 1.94, g(perpendicular) approximately 1.98, A(parallel) approximately 166 x 10(-4) cm(-1), and A(perpendicular) approximately 68 x 10(-4) cm(-1). In contrast isotropic room-temperature solution spectra of the family have 15 hyperfine lines (g(iso) approximately 1.974 and A(iso) approximately 50 x 10(-4) cm(-1)) revealing that the unpaired electron is delocalized between the metal centers. Crystal data for the [V2O3L1].CH2Cl2 complex are as follows: chemical formula, C32H43O6N4Cl2V2; crystal system, monoclinic; space group, C2/c; a = 18.461(4), b = 17.230(3), c = 13.700(3) A; beta = 117.88(3) degrees ; Z = 8.

Free 3-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 24 – 26 were prepared from 10 – 12 by removal of the 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-oxobut-1-enyl or 3-oxo-2-[(phenyl-methoxy)carbonyl]but-1-envl as N-protecting group by various methods.     

Alkaloids of Siberia and Altai flora: XVIII. Alkyl 2-acetylamino-5-[2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl]benzoates in the synthesis of indolizines containing an anthranilic acid ester moiety

Methyl 2-acetylamino-5-[2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)vinyl]benzoate reacted with phenacyl bromide to produce quaternary 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-5-(4-acetylamino-3-methoxycarbonyl)pyridinium bromides. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the latter to methyl propynoate and dimethyl but-2-ynedioate gave the corresponding indolizine derivatives containing an anthranilic acid ester moiety. Reactions of acetylenes with N-phenacylpyridinium salts obtained from a diterpene alkaloid derivative, 2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl-substituted lappaconitine afforded analogous compounds in which the indolizine fragment is conjugated to the aromatic ring of the alkaloid. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-5-(4-acetylamino-3-methoxycarbonyl) pyridinium bromides with methyl propynoate was regioselective.     

Synthesis and properties of some 2-(dimethylamino)methyl-substituted arylcopper compounds

The synthesis and isolation of 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenylcopper and its 5-methyl, 5-methoxy, 5-chloro and 3-chloro derivatives are described.

They also show improved hydrolytic and oxidative stability.Lithiation of 1-methoxy-4-[(dimethylamino)methyl]naphthalene with butyllithium occurs at the 5-position. Metathesis of 1-methoxy-4-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-lithionaphthalene with cuprous bromide affords the corresponding organocopper compound.

Methyl (Z)-3-bromo-3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)prop-2-enoate behaved as a synthetic equivalent of methyl 3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)prop-2-ynoate in reactions with dimethyl malonate and methyl acetoacetate, which afforded the corresponding Michael adducts, trimethyl 3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)prop-1-ene-1,1,2-tricarboxylate and dimethyl (Z)-2-acetyl-3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)but-2-enedioate, respectively, via nucleophilic attack on the β-position with respect to the sulfonyl group.     

A new 3-(phenylseleno)allylic cation: its regioselective C-C bond formation reaction with nucleophiles

Highly useful C-C bond formation using 2-ethoxy-3-(phenylseleno)prop-2-enal acetal 2 was examined with various Lewis acids. The reaction of 2 with the silyl enol ether in the presence of BF(3)*Et2O, ZnBr2, or SnBr4 regioselectively provided (Z)-3,4-diethoxy-5-(phenylseleno)pent-4-enophenone 5a in high yields. On the other hand, the reaction with other Lewis acids such as EtAlCl2 or SnCl4 gave 5-(phenylseleno)- 6 or non-selenopentane-1,4-dione 7, respectively. Novel prop-2-enal acetals 2-4 and 13-15 reacted with various nucleophiles to give pent-4-enophenones 5a,b, 10a, 12, and 16-18, S-ethyl pent-4-enoate 5b, alkylated vinylic sulfide 10b, 3-pentenenitrile 5d, and 10c. A versatile pent-4-enophenone 5a could be converted to tetrahydrofuran 20 and penta-2,4-dienophenone 19, the Diels-Alder reactions of which with dienophiles gave the adducts 24 and 25.

Three-component condensation of methyl {4-[(2E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl}- carbamate with ninhydrin and L-proline in methanol–water (10: 1) afforded methyl {4-[1,3-dioxo-1′- (4-methoxyphenyl)-1,1′,2′,3,5′,6′,7′,7a′-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3′-pyrrolizin]-2′-ylcarbonyl]phenyl}carbamate. Heating of methyl {4-[(2E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl}carbamate with isatin and benzylamine in methanol gave methyl {4-[4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-5′-phenyl-1,2-dihydrospiro[indole-3,2′-pyrrolidin]-3′-ylcarbonyl]phenyl}carbamate. The condensation of methyl {4-[(2E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2- enoyl]phenyl}carbamate with sarcosine and 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one generated in situ from ninhydrin and o-phenylenediamine in boiling ethanol led to the formation of methyl {4-[4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1′-methyl-11,11a-dihydro-5aH-spiro[benzo[b]phenazine-6,2′-pyrrolidin]-3′-ylcarbonyl]phenyl}carbamate.

The exchange of the dimethylamino group in 4a,b with aromatic amines 5a-f,m , héteroaromatic amines 5g-i , and benzylamines 5j-l produced 5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-benzoylamino-6-(2-arylamino- or heteroarylamino-or benzylamino-1-ethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones 6a-l , and its 5-acetyl analog 6m . The compounds 6 were cyclized in basic media into 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives 7a-h .

Preparation and root growth-modulatory activity of N-substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides

N-Substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8) were synthesized through the reaction of amines (13) with 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanoic acid (3b), which was prepared via condensation of 2-(bromomethyl)furan (10b) with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by partial hydrolysis of the resultant diethyl ester (3a) in the presence of barium hydroxide. However, bulky amines such as tert-butylamine or 2-trifluoromethylaniline did not afford the corresponding diamides (8). The biological activity of the prepared diamides (8) as root growth modulators was examined by germination assay using rape and leek seeds. N-(5-Bromo-2-thiazolyl)- and N-(4-chloro-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8h, i) both potently inhibited the root growth of rape seedlings, but were less effective in the case of leek seeds. The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid completely inhibited root growth in both cases.
