Indolopyridines with a hetero atom at a position of fusion. 5. Catalytic synthesis of indolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline by pyrolysis of benzylisoquinolines

High-temperature heterocyclization of -benzylisoquinolines on oxide-type catalysts gave angular indolo[2,1a] isoquinoline.For Communication 4 see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 79–82, January, 1994.     

Synthesis of 2,3,8,9-tetramethoxy-11-phenyl-5,6-dihydrodibenz[2,3;7,8]indolizine

2,3,8,9-Tetramethoxy-11-phenyldibenz[2,3;7,8]indolizine was obtainedinhighyieldfrom (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl)-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)phenylcarbinol by cyclization in the presence of formic acid. The behavior of (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylcarbinol and (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)carbinol was studied under these same conditions. 2,3,7,8-Tetramethoxy-11-phenyl-5,6-dihydrodibenz[2,3;7,8]indolizine was obtained by hydrogenation on rhenium heptasulfide.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1233–1238, September, 1993.     

Preparation of α- and γ-(α-furyl)pyridines

Mixtures of isomeric alkyl-substituted (in the pyridine ring) - and -(-furyl)-pyridines were obtained in up to 40% yields by condensation of furfural and ammonia with several aliphatic ketones and aldehydes (at 370–380 °C with a cadmium calcium phosphate catalyst). The dependence of the yields and structures of the corresponding isomers on the structure of the starting carbonyl compound was examined. Data from the PMR and mass spectra were used to prove the structures of the pyridine bases obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 383–387, March, 1981.     

Indolopyridines with a bridging heteroatom

Reaction of 2-acetylpyridine with 4-[2.2]paracyclophanyllithium or 4-acetyl[2.2]paracyclophane with 2-pyridllithium gives 1-([2.2]paracyclophan-4-yl)-1-(2-pyridyl)ethanol. Its molecular and crystalline structures have been studied by x-ray analysis. It was found that heating this alcohol in acid medium causes dehydration and heterocyclization to give 1-paracyclophanyl-1-pyridylethylene and 10-methyl[2.2]paracyclophano[4,5-bindolizine.For communication 9 see [1].

Synthesis and molecular structure of a substituted 8-oxa-10-azatricyclo [7.3.1.0]tridecatetraene

10,11-Dimethyl-9-(coumarin-3 -yl)-12-ethoxycarbonyl-8-oxa-10-azatricyclo[7,3,1.0^2.7]trideca-2,4,6-11-tetraene was isolated from the mixture of products from the condensation of salicyl aldehyde with acetoacetic ester and methylamine. Its molecular structure has been established by x-ray crystallography.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 259–264, February, 1996.     

2,5-Dimethyl-4-(p-aminobenzyl)pyridine in the synthesis of substituted quinolines,pyridoindazoles, and isoquinolinoquinolines

2,5-Dimethyl-4-pyridyl(6-quinolyl)methane was obtained from 2,5-dimethyl-4-(p-aminobenzyl)pyridine via the Skraup reaction. The product was nitrated to 2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl (5-nitro-6-quinolyl)methane, which was reduced to 2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl (5-amino-6-quinolyl)methane. It was established that the diazo compound formed from this amino derivative is converted to 1H,3-(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)-pyrido [2,3-g]indazole as a result of intramolecular cyclization. 9-Methyliso-quinolino [7,6-f]quinoline was obtained by catalytic dehydrocyclization of 2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl (6-quinolyl)methane. 2,5-Dimethyl-4-pyridyl(5-nitro-6-quinolyl)methane has chemochromic properties.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 677–680, May, 1980.     

Conversion of 3-benzoyl-1-methyl-4-phenyl-γ-piperidol by arylamines and arylhydrazines. Synthesis of 3-arylamino-1-oxo-1-phenylpropanes and 1,3-diarylpyrazoles and their fragmentation under electron impact

It has been established that on heating, 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine is ring-opened in the presence of arylamines by a type of retroaldol reaction, with subsequent transamination of the intermediate Mannich base and the formation of 3-arylamino-1-oxo-1-phenylpropanes. When using arylhydrazines this γ-piperidol is recyclized with the formation of 1,3-diarylpyrazoles and their 4,5-dihydro derivatives. The mass spectral behavior of a series of 3-arylamino-substituted 1-phenylpropanones has been studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1486–1495, October, 2007.     

Nitration of some 2, 5-disubstituted 4-phenylpyridin es

2,5-Dimethyl-4-phenylpyridine is nitrated in the para position of the phenyl ring. Further nitration of the resulting nitro compound gives a mixture of isomeric dinitro derivatives. In the case of 4-phenylisocinchomeronic acid the nitro group enters the meta position of the phenyl ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii. No. 3, pp. 365–368, March, 1976.
