Reactions of 4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 5,7‐diphenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a‐f led to the formation of the alkylated heterocycles 3a‐f (Figure 1). However, the reaction of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 5 ) with 2a‐c yielded under the same conditions the triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolines 6a‐c (Figure 3). In this case, the alkylation is followed by a cyclocondensation. The structure elucidation of the products is based on ir, ms, ¹H and ¹³C nmr measurements and on an X‐ray diffraction study.     

4-hydroxy-2-quinolones. 96. Synthesis and properties of 4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid

Alkaline hydrolysis of the ethyl ester of 4-(cyanoethoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid is accompanied by decarboxylation with loss of two molecules of CO₂ and leads to 4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 887–893, June, 2006.

The hydrogenation of the benzene part of the molecule in N-allyl-substituted 4-hydroxy-2-quinolinones does not affect the nature of their bromination by molecular bromine and gives 2-bromomethyl-5-oxo-1,2,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]quinolines. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1180–1188, August, 2007.     

Determination of gold in geological samples by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry after extraction with tributyl phosphate

The behaviour of gold and elements impeding its x-ray fluorescence spectrometric (XRF) determination, namely zinc, lead and arsenic, was studied during their extraction from hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and aqua regia solutions using tributyl phosphate as a solid extractant [SE(TBP)]. Extraction of gold from pulps after aqua regia leaching was found to be the most favourable approach for the quantitative and selective recovery of gold. The gold distribution ratio, D_Au, is ca. 10⁴ ml g^?1. For extraction from hydrochloric acid solutions the D_Au value also exceeds 10⁴ in the whole range of gold concentrations studied (10^?8?10^?4 M), but it decreases substantially with increasing extraction temperature, from 5 × 10⁵ ml g^?1 at 20°C to 9 × 10³ ml g^?1 at 70°C. An anomalously high distribution ratio of lead, D_Pb ≈ 10³ ml g^?1, was observed during extraction from hydrochloric solutions in the presence of chlorine. This could be explained by the formation of the chloro complexes of lead(IV). An XRF method for the determination of gold in natural samples was developed, which includes back-extraction of gold from SE(TBP) using a hot 0.025 M thiourea solution, providing a thin sample layer for secondary XRF. For 25 g of sample material the limit of determination is 10 ng g^?1 (10^?6%). The accuracy of the technique was checked using different reference materials. The results agreed within 10%.     

Three polymorphs of 3‐(3‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐yl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one formed from different solvents

The polymorphic study of 3‐(3‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐yl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one, C₁₇H₁₁N₃O₂, was performed due to its potential biological activity and revealed three polymorphic modifications in the triclinic space group P, the monoclinic space group P2₁ and the orthorhombic space group Pbca. These polymorphs have a one‐column layered type of crystal organization. The strongest interactions between the molecules of the studied structures is stacking between π‐systems, while N—H…N and C—H…O hydrogen bonds link stacked columns forming layers as a secondary basic structural motif. C—H…π hydrogen bonds were observed between neighbouring layers and their role is the least significant in the formation of the crystal structure. Packing differences between the polymorphic modifications are minor and can be identified only using an analysis based on a comparison of the pairwise interaction energies.     

Photolysis of 2-dialkylamino-3-amino(or alkylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones

Using¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy, naphthodihydroimidazolediols were identified as the primary products of photolysis of 2-dialkylamino-3-amino(alkylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones. Their further non-photochemical (thermal) transformations depend on their structure and on the photolysis conditions.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Diversity oriented heterocyclizations of pyruvic acids,aldehydes and 5-amino-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazole-4-carboxamides: catalytic and temperature control of chemoselectivity

Heterocyclization reactions of pyruvic acids, aromatic aldehydes and 5-amino-N-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides yielding four different types of final compounds are described. The reactions involving arylidenpyruvic acids lead with high degree of selectivity to either 4,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acids or 5-[(2-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazoles, depending on the catalyst type or temperature regime. The interactions based on arylpyruvic acids can take place under kinetic or thermodynamic control producing 7-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acids or 3-hydroxy-1-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones, respectively.
