The chemistry of naphthazarin derivatives

In water-containing organic solvents 2-oxo-2,3-dihydronaphthoquinone derivatives are hydrated to give the corresponding 2,2-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydronaphthoquinones. The hydration is reversible; in some cases, a keto-gem-diol equilibrium is established. The susceptibility of 2-oxo-2,3-dihydronaphthoquinone derivatives for hydration depends on the donor-acceptor properties of substituents at C(3), C(6), and C(7), on whether or not hydroxy groups are present at C(5) and C(8), and on the organic solvent basicity.

The mass spectral fragmentation of some 2,3-dihydro-5-trifluoromethyl-7-(p-R-phenyl)-1,4-diazepines

Summary Electron impact mass spectra of seven 2,3-dihydro-5-trifluoromethyl/methyl-7-(p-R-phenyl)-1,4-diazepinesR=H, CH₃, OCH₃, CF₃, Cl, Br) have been recorded and are discussed. These systems dissociate by scission of the C₂-C₃ bond followed by loss of H^. to give the [M-H]⁺ ion as the base peak. The fragmentation behaviour has been investigated using metastable scanning techniques and accurate mass measurements. The origin of some characteristic fragment ions is discussed.

New S-,O-substituted naphthoquinone compounds (3a, 4b, 6, 7c, 9d, 10, 12, 13c, 14d, 15) were synthesized via vinilic substitution. 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone gave 3a and 4b with 4,4′-thiobisbenzenethiol, respectively. Compounds 6 and 7c were obtained from the reaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with cyclohexylmercaptane. The compounds 9d and 10 were prepared from the reaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with 6-mercapto-1-hexanol. Compounds 12, 13c, 14d, and 15 were synthesized from the reaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with 1,6-hexanedithiol. Their structures were characterized by micro analysis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, UV-Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy.     

Studies on Charge-Transfer Complexes of 2,3-Dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone with Some Ring and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Substituted Anilines

Summary. The charge-transfer complexes (CT-complexes) between 2,3-dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone (DCNQ) and some aromatic anilines, both ring and N-substituted, were studied spectrophotometrically in three chlorinated solvents, viz. chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane at different temperatures. All the donors are known to form stable 1:1 stoichiometric complexes with DCNQ and their stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of temperature over the studied range. The change in polarity of the solvent also doesnt affect the stoichiometry of the complexes. The determined formation constant values are in the range of 0.49–10.8dm³mol^–1, the highest is for the N-benzylaniline and the lowest is for o-chloroaniline. The effect of functional groups on the aniline moiety towards the strength and its electron releasing property has been discussed. The H, S, and G values are all negative, so the studied complexes are reasonably stable and exothermic in nature. The ionization potentials of the donors were determined using the charge-transfer (CT) absorption bands of the complexes. The dissociation energies (W) of the charge-transfer excited state for the CT-complexes were also determined and are found to be constant.Present address: Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12, India     

EDA Complexes of 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with Some Substituted Anilines

Summary. Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes of several substituted anilines with the -acceptor 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNQ) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane were studied by a spectrophotometric method. Experimental data has been shown to confirm the 1:2 stoichiometry of the acceptor-donor in spite of the apparent linearity of the Benesi-Hildebrand plot for a 1:1 complex. The calculated values of oscillator strengths, transition moments, and thermodynamic parameters confirms the 1:2 (A:D) stoichiometry of the complexes. The formation constants and molar absorptivities for these AD₂ complexes have been evaluated. The stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of the temperature over a small interval and also by the change in polarity of the solvent. The order of the donor strength followed the sequence: N-benzylaniline>p-chloroaniline>m-chloroaniline>o-chloroaniline.Present address: Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12, India     

A novel,C2-symmetric,chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin tridentate ligand in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions

A C₂-symmetric, chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin ligand composed of two 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzisothiazole moieties with rigid skeletons and a conformationally flexible butenylene chain is disclosed for the first time. HRMS and ¹H NMR analyses verify that the in situ-generated complex of the ligand and [Rh(C₂H₄)₂Cl]₂ possesses a rhodium (I) center coordinated to the tridentate ligand via two sulfinyl moieties and a CdbndC bond. The chiral ligand provided extremely high enantioselectivity (up to >99%ee) in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone. The tridentate ligand gave much higher enantioselectivity than the analogous chiral bidentate ligands.     

Aminodefluorination of 2-X-pentafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinones (X = NHBu, NEt2, and OMe)

Aminodefluorination of 2-n-butylamino- and 2-diethylaminopentafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone by alkylamines HNR¹R² (NR¹R² = NHEt, NHⁿBu and NEt₂) occurs at the 6- or 8-position and further, accordingly, at the 8- or at one of the 5- and 6-sites. The isomer ratio changes significantly in favor of a β-replacement product with solvent variation in the sequence: toluene < 1,4-dioxane < DMSO. n-Butylaminodefluorination of 2-methoxypentafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone gives mixtures of fluorine substitution products both on the benzene and quinone rings.

Ein Beitrag zur Chemie des 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxids Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 86. Mitt.

Summary 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxide (1) reacts as CH-acidic component with amidines of orthoesters and anilines resp. to give the anilinomethylene derivates3, 4, and5. With triethyl orthoformiate the hydroxymethylene-compound7 is obtained. Anilino- and phenylhydrazino derivates8 and9 prove the carbonyl activity of1, azo-coupling leads to10, whereas treatment of1 with sulfur and malononitrile yields the benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophenes11. Introduction of substituents with active NH-functions in position 2 of the dicyanomethylene-product2, such as azocoupling, reaction with phenyl isocyanate and formation of enamines, leads to ring closure reactions between a nitrile and the NH-group. Thereby the phenyl-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines12, the phenyl-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines13 and the phenylamino-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines14 are obtained.¹³C and¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy was used as proof of the ring closure reactions.

Synthesis of 6-Amino-5-R2-7-(6-R1-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

It has been found that malonodinitrile and 2-(6-R¹-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine undergo hetarylation by 5,6-dichloro-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile at the active methylene group to give the triethylammonium salt of 2-(3-chloro-5,6-dicyano-2-pyrazinyl)malononitrile or 5-chloro-6-cyano(6-R¹-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinazolylidene)methyl-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles. Reaction of these with primary amines leads to annelation of the pyrrole ring at the pyrazine [b] edge to give 6-amino-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3,7-tricarbonitriles and 6-amino-5-R²-7-(6-R¹-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles respectively.
