Sustainable Synthesis of Chiral Tetrahydrofurans through the Selective Dehydration of Pentoses

L ‐Arabinose is an abundant resource available as a waste product of the sugar beet industry. Through use of a hydrazone‐based strategy, L ‐arabinose was selectively dehydrated to form a chiral tetrahydrofuran on a multi‐gram scale without the need for protecting groups. This approach was extended to other biomass‐derived reducing sugars and the mechanism of the key cyclization investigated. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of a range of functionalized chiral tetrahydrofurans, as well as a formal synthesis of 3R‐3‐hydroxymuscarine.     

Triton-B-Catalyzed,Efficient, One-Pot Synthesis of Dithiocarbazates Through Alcoholic Tosylates

A quick, efficient, one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbazates was accomplished in high yields by the reaction of various tosylates of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols with a variety of substituted hydrazines using the benzyl–trimethylammonium hydroxide (Triton-B)/CS₂ system. The reaction conditions are mild with simpler workup procedures than the reported methods.     

Facile and convenient synthesis of aryl hydrazines via copper-catalyzed C–N cross-coupling of aryl halides and hydrazine hydrate

An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of aryl hydrazines has been developed via copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl bromides and hydrazine with a readily accessible ligand and water as a solvent. The multigram scale procedure is applicable to aryl bromides bearing both moderately electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents in the aromatic nucleus. No column chromatography is required to obtain aryl hydrazine hydrochlorides in good yields.     

A sensitive chromatographic determination of hydrazines by naphthalene-2,3-dialdehyde derivatization

A new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the sensitive simultaneous determination of hydrazine (Hy), monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) based upon the derivatization of hydrazines with naphthalene-2,3-dialdehyde and the separation of the derivatives on Zorbax Eclipse AAA column in a single chromatographic run under acidic conditions (pH 2.4) was developed. Hydrazine and monomethylhydrazine derivatives were found to be strongly fluorescent at λ_ex?=?273?nm, λ_em?=?500?nm. It was shown that UDMH derivative can be detected as non-fluorescent hydrazone at 290?nm by UV-detection. Limits of detection were 0.05?µg?·?L^?1 for Hy and MMH, and 1?µg?·?L^?1 for UDMH for the injection volume of 100?µL. The method was validated for water sample analysis. It proved to be selective, accurate and precise with the supplementary advantage of the simple and rapid sample preparation.     

Synthesis of 3-amino 1H-pyrazoles catalyzed by p-toluene sulphonic acid using polyethylene glycol-400 as an efficient and recyclable reaction medium

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 3-amino 1H-pyrazoles is described. The reaction of β-keto nitriles with hydrazines in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluene sulphonic acid using polyethylene glycol-400 as an efficient and recyclable reaction medium afforded the corresponding 3-amino 1H pyrazoles excellent yields.     

An Efficient,Basic Resin-Mediated,One-Pot Synthesis of Dithiocarbazates Through Alcoholic Tosylates

A quick and efficient, one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbazates was accomplished in high yields by the reaction of various alcoholic tosylates of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, with substituted hydrazines using an Amberlite IRA 400 (basic resin)/CS ₂ system. The reaction conditions are mild with simpler work-up procedures than previously reported methods.

The three-component reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine in the presence of arylsulfonyl hydrazides or aryl hydrazines produces highly functionalized, salt-free phosphorus ylides in excellent yields.     

Synthesis of 3-aryl substituted benzo[1,2,5]triazepin-4-ones via intramolecular imine formation

3-Aryl substituted benzo[1,2,5]triazepin-4-ones and their pyrido counterparts have been synthesized in five steps from commercially available starting materials. The key step involves base-induced cleavage of trifluoroacetyl-protected hydrazine intermediates and in situ intramolecular imine formation.     

Conditions for the Selective Conversion of Quaternary 3-Anilino-1,5-dimethylpyrazolium Salts into 3-Anilino-1,5-dimethylpyrazole

The possibility has been studied of converting quaternary 3-anilino-1,5-dimethylpyrazolium salts into 3-anilino-1,5-dimethylpyrazole, the first representative of the 1-alkyl-3-arylaminopyrazoles. The dependence of the reaction direction on the nature of the substituent at position 2 has been clarified. The most effective result was obtained with a cyanoethyl substituent. On boiling the initial salt with aqueous ammonia the target product is isolated in quantitative yield. Syntheses of the initial salts are described. C-Sulfonation was detected on interacting 3-anilino-1-benzoyl-3-methylpyrazole and dimethyl sulfate, with the formation of p-(3-amino-1,2,5-trimethylpyrazolio)benzenesulfonate.
