Sigmatropic Isomerizations in Azaallyl Systems: XXII. 1,3-Proton Transfer in (<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Alkyltrifluoroacetimidoyl)phosphonates

The reaction of N-alkyltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with trialkyl phosphites leads to corresponding imidoylphosphonates CF₃C[P(O)(OAlk)₂]=NCH₂R. These compounds undergo irreversible 1,3-H shift catalyzed by nitrogenous bases to give phosphorylated imines CF₃CH[P(O)(OAlk)₂]N=CHR. The tendency for prototropism increases with increasing electronegativity of substituents R: CF₃ > CH₂OMe > H > Me. N-Cyclopentyl analogs of the obtained compounds show no tendency for prototropism. Imidoylphosphonates exist mainly as Z isomers [Z/E ～(6–10) : 1].

Reactions of aryl trifluoromethyl ketone imines with 2-sulfanylacetic and 3-sulfanylpropanoic acids afforded 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones and 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyltetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-ones, respectively. Their subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gave the corresponding 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one 1-oxides and 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyltetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one 1-oxides and 1,1-dioxides.

In reactions of arylsulfinyl chlorides and N-(arylsulfonyl)arylsulfinimidoyl chlorides with p-aminophenols formed N-arylthio-1,4-benzoquinone imines, evidently through a stage of N-arylsulfinyl-4-aminophenols and N-(N-arylsulfonyl)arylsulfinylimidoyl-4-aminophenols that under the reaction conditions eliminate respectively H₂O and ArSO₂NH₂.     

Thiocyanation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylsulfonyl-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aroyl-, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylsulfonyl)benzimidoyl]-1,4-benzoquinone imines

Reactions of thiocyanate ion with N-aroyl-, N-arylsulfonyl-, and N-(N-arylsulfonylbenzimidoyl)-1,4-benzoquinone imines follow the 1,4-addition pattern, and the adducts undergo intramolecular cyclization to give the corresponding N-substituted 5-amino-1,3-benzoxathiol-2-ones as final products.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 2-amino-1,3-thiazole and 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole

N-Aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides react with 2-amino-1,3-thiazole (2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole) in acetic acid to give mixtures of 7-methyl-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-5-thione (2-methyl-4H-pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole-4-thione) and 5-arylimino-7-methyl-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines (4-arylimino-2-methyl-4H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazoles), whose ratio depends on the nature of the aryl substituent in the initial butanethioamide.     

1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Difluoro-Substituted Azomethine Ylides. Synthesis and Transformations of 2-Fluoro-4,5-dihydropyrroles

2-Fluoro-4,5-dihydropyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylic acid derivatives were obtained by reaction of difluorocarbene with N-substituted ketone imines in the presence of fumaronitrile, maleonitrile, or dimethyl maleate. The reaction involves intermediate formation of azomethine ylides and their subsequent cycloaddition at the double bond. 11H-Dibenz[b,e]azepine and 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines react with difluorocarbene in the presence of fumaronitrile to give fluoro-substituted dibenzo[c,f]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine and pyrrolo[2,1-a]-isoquinoline derivatives. Treatment of 2-fluoro-4,5-dihydropyrrole-3,4-dicarbonitrile with amines and alkoxides affords the corresponding 2-amino- and 2-alkoxy derivatives, while its reactions with hydrazine hydrate and benzimidamide lead to formation of substituted pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrazole and pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine derivatives.     

Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.     

Oxidative trifluoroacetamidation of (1<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>,3<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene and 1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbuta-1,3-diene

Reactions of trifluoroacetamide with (1E,3E)-1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene and 1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbuta-1,3-diene in the oxidative system t-BuOCl–NaI have been studied. The reaction with (1E,3E)-1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene afforded three products, N,N′-(phenylmethylene)bis(trifluoroacetamide), 3-chloro-4-iodo- 2,5-diphenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidine, and trifluoro-N-[(3E)-2-hydroxy-1,4-diphenylbut-3-en-1-yl]acetamide, with a high overall yield. 1,1,4,4-Tetraphenylbuta-1,3-diene failed to react with trifluoroacetamide.     

Reaction of some <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-substituted 1,4-benzoquinone imines with sodium azide

The reactions of N-(arenesulfinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone imines with sodium azide afforded the corresponding N-(arylsulfanyl)-2-azido-1,4-benzoquinone imines via 1,4-addition of azide ion and subsequent intramolecular oxidation–reduction.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone imines with thiols

N-Chloro-1,4-benzoquinone imines reacted with arenethiols to give different products, depending on the conditions and initial quinone imine structure. N-(Arylsulfanyl)-1,4-benzoquinone imines were obtained as a result of nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom, and 1,4-benzoquinone imines containing an aryl-sulfanyl substituent in the quinoid ring were formed according to the radical mechanism. The reactions of N-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone imines with heterocyclic thiols afforded only the corresponding chlorine substitution products.     

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arenesulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines with acetylacetone

N-Arenesulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines reacted with acetylacetone to afford different products, depending on the isolation procedure.

X-ray structural analysis has been performed for two complex compounds: Cu(en)₂(o-HB)₂H₂O (I) (a = 16.873(4) Å, b = 8.713(2) Å, c = 14.803(3) Å, β = 91.15(2)°, V = 2175.8(8) ų, C2/c, Z = 4, R(F) = 0.0263, 1516 reflections with I > 3σ (I)) and [Cu(en)₂(OH₂)₂]²⁺(o-AB^?)₂ (II) (a = 7.488(5) Å, b = 22.122(8) Å, c = 7.856(5) Å, β = 118.77(2)°, V = 1140.7(11) ų, P2₁/n, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.0432, 1684 reflections with I > 3σ(I)) synthesized under identical conditions (en is ethylenediamine, o-HB is o-hydroxybenzoate, and o-AB is o-aminobenzoate). Although the compounds were assumed to have similar structures and the Cu-Lig bond lengths and the cis and trans angles are acceptable for an octahedral structure, the geometric parameters of o-HB suggest that the copper atom has a plane square environment.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-sulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines with sodium azide

Depending on the conditions and the order of addition of the reactants, reactions of N-sulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines with sodium azide afforded N-(3-azido-4-hydroxyphenyl)alkane(arene)sulfonamides, N-(3-azido-4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)alkane(arene)sulfonamides, and N-(3,5-diazido-4-hydroxyphenyl)-alkanesulfonamides. Quantum chemical calculations showed that the reactions begin with addition of azide ion to the quinone imine.

The unstable adduct [Tb(L)₃(Phen)] · 0.4 MeCN (II), whose structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, is obtained from an acetonitrile solution. The crystals of compound II at 100 K are triclinic, a = 11.2508(13), b = 11.4246(14), c = 22.486(3) Å, α = 96.522(2)°, β = 91.578(2)°, γ = 110.073(2)°, V = 2690.3(5) ų, space group P \(\bar 1\), Z= 2, R = 0.0433. The complex is characterized by the green luminescence (λ_exc = 380 nm, λ_em = 550 nm).     

3,5-Di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone in the synthesis of quinolino[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">bc</Emphasis>][1,5]benzoxazepines,aminophenols, and phenoxazines

Reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone with 5-amino-4-chloroquinolines gave derivatives of a new fused heterocyclic system, substituted quinolino[4,5-bc][1,5]benzoxazepines. The molecular structure of 9,11-di-tert-butyl-2,4,6-trimethyl-7H-quinolino[4,5-bc][1,5]benzoxazepine was determined by X-ray analysis. 3,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone reacted with o-nitro-, o-acyl-, and o-methoxycarbonylanilines and some amino-substituted nitrogen-containing heterocycles to form the corresponding sterically hindered N-aryl-(hetaryl)-o-aminophenols. Di-tert-butyl-substituted phenoxazines were obtained as a result of thermal cyclization of intermediately formed quinone imines.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and - trifluoromethanesulfonamides with indoles

N-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and -trifluoromethanesulfonamides reacted with indole and N-substituted indoles to give the corresponding N-[2,2-dichloro(or 2,2,2-trichloro)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-substituted sulfonamides. Unlike N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide, less electrophilic N-(poly-chloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides failed to react with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole. Previously unknown N,N’-bis(2,2-dichloroethylidene)biphenyl-4,4’-disulfonamide reacted with 1-benzyl-1H-indole at both azomethine fragments. Likewise, reactions of 1,6-bis(1H-indol-1-yl)hexane and 1,4-bis(1H-indol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene with N-sulfonyl trichloroacetaldehyde imines involved both indole rings in the former.     

Cyclocondensations of 3-alkylpyrazol-5-amines with 3-arylprop-2-enals and cyclic 1,3-diketones

Domino reactions of 3-alkylpyrazol-5-amines with 3-arylprop-2-enals and cyclic 1,3-diketones regioselectively afforded pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives. The alkylation and acylation of the synthesized compounds were studied using 3,7,7-trimethyl-4-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-2,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-5H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinolin-5-one as model.
