Synthesis of 4-oxo-6-styryl-4H-pyran-2-carbonitriles and their application for the construction of new 4-pyrone derivatives

Research on Chemical Intermediates - Synthesis of 2-cyano-6-styryl-4-pyrones has been developed on the basis of 6-metylcomanic acid via modifications of the methyl and carboxyl groups. Reactions of...     

Synthesis of 6-aryl- and 5-aroylcomanic acids from 5-aroyl-2-carbethoxy-4-pyrones via a deformylative rearrangement and ring-opening/ring-closure sequence

The reaction of 1-aryl-2-(dimethylaminomethylene)butane-1,3-diones with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium hydride in THF gave ethyl 5-aroyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-carboxylates, from which 4-oxo-6-aryl-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acids (6-arylcomanic acids) were obtained in high yields via acid-catalyzed deformylative rearrangement. 5-Aroyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acids (5-aroylcomanic acids) were prepared via а ring-opening/ring-closure sequence by the reaction of 5-aroyl-2-carbethoxy-4-pyrones with piperidine and subsequent basic hydrolysis and acidification.

Regioselective synthesis of 2- and 5-trifluoromethyl-or 2- and 5-difluoromethylpyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines based on 7,7,7-trifluoro-or 7,7-difluoro-2,4,6-trioxoheptanoic and 6-trifluoromethyl-or 6-difluoromethylcomanic acids

6-Tri- and 6-difluoromethylcomanic acids and their ethyl esters reacted with aminoguanidine, predominantly giving 5-R^F-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines, whereas the reaction of the openchain synthetic equivalents, i.e., ethyl 7,7,7-trifluoro- and 7,7-difluoro-2,4,6-trioxoheptanoates, with this polynucleophile allowed us to obtain regioselectively 2-R^F-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines.     

Preparative synthesis of ethyl 5-acyl-4-pyrone-2-carboxylates and 6-aryl-, 6-alkyl-, and 5-acylcomanic acids on their basis

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of ethyl 5-alkanoyl- and 5-aroyl-4-pyrone-2-carboxylates was developed, which is based on the condensation of 1-R-2-(dimethyl-aminomethylidene)butane-1,3-diones, obtained from 1,3-diketones and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, with diethyl oxalate in the presence of NaH in THF. Ethyl 5-acyl-4-pyrone-2-carboxylates were used in the synthesis of 6-R- and 5-RCO-comanic acids.     

Reactions of malonodithioamides with acetylenedicarboxylic esters

Reactions of malonothioamides with acetylenedicarboxylates proceed as an addition of the sulfur atom at the triple bond with subsequent intramolecular reaction between the ester group and the nitrogen atom, that leads to substituted thiazolidines. Unsubstituted malonodithioamide and N-cyclohexylmalonodithioamide give adducts involving both thioamide fragments, whereas N,N′-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)malonodithioamide forms the 1: 1 adducts.
