2,4-DINITROPHENYLHYDROXYLAMINE: AN EFFICIENT AND MORE GENERAL REAGENT FOR IRON-CATALYZED ALLYLIC AMINATION

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydroxylamine (1) is an efficient reagent for the iron-catalyzed regioselective allylic amination of olefins. Moderate to excellent yields of N-DNP-N-allyl amines (2) are obtained resulting from introduction of the N-DNP group at the less substituted vinylic carbon with accompanying double bond transposition. N-alkylation of 2 and subsequent treatment with MeNH₂ affords secondary N-alkyl-N-allyl amines (5) in good overall yield.     

Studies on Pyrazine Derivatives,XLV: Synthesis,Reactions, and Tuberculostatic Activity of N-Methyl-N′-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic Acid Methyl Ester

Methyldithiocarbonyl derivative 2 of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid N′-methyl-hydrazide 1 was synthesized by methylation of CS₂ adduct. Benzylamine caused the decomposition of compound 2 to pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid benzylamide 5 and 1,3-dibenzylthiourea 6. N-methyl-N′-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic acid methyl ester 2 were evidenced to cyclize to 3-methyl-5-pyrazin-2-yl-3H-[1, 3, 4]oxadiazole-2-thione 8 in the presence of triethylamine. In the reactions with secondary amines such as morpholine, pyrrolidine and phenylpiperazine pyrazinoyl derivatives (9–11) of thiosemicarbazide were obtained. Hydrazine, methylhydrazine, aminoalcohols, and N-alkylamino-substituted cyclic amines reacted with cyclization to 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 12, 13, and 18–22. Synthesized compounds exhibited low tuberculostatic activity in vitro (MIC 50–100 μg/mL).     

N- And S-Alkylation of 3-(1-Aadamantyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol and 2-(1-Adamantyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-thiol

ABSTRACT

-The reaction of 3-(1-adamantyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol 1 with certain 2-aminoethyl chlorides in alkaline medium yielded a separable mixture of the S-(2-aminoethyl) derivatives 2 and the N-(2-aminoethyl) derivatives 3. Meanwhile, alkylation of 2-(1-adamantyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-thiol 4 with 2-aminoethyl chlorides under the same conditions yielded only the S-alkyl derivatives 5. Interaction of 4 with primary or secondary amines and formaldehyde solution yielded the corresponding N-aminomethyl derivatives in high yields.     

Synthesis of Derivatives of ω-Isocyanato-α-methylamino, ω-Ureido-α-methylamino, and Nα-Methyl-α, ω-diamino Acids

 Homochiral N^α-methyl-2,3-diaminopropionic and N^α-methyl-2,4-diaminobutyric acid derivatives 8a,b were obtained via a stereoconservative four-step synthesis starting from hexafluoroacetone protected L-aspartic and L-glutamic acid 2a,b, respectively. Hexafluoroacetone protected ω-isocyanato-α-methylamino acids 4a,b– the key intermediates of the synthesis – are versatile building blocks for amino acid and peptide modification and promising candidates for combinatorial chemistry. Upon reaction with alcohols, compounds 4 give activated N ^ω-urethane protected ω-amino-α-methylamino acid derivatives 5–7; upon reaction with amines, ω-ureido-α-methylamino acid derivatives 10–12 and 3-methylamino-pyrrolidin-2-ones 13 are available.     

Reaction Products of Activated Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Chlorides with N,N-Disubstituted Formamides

Several N,N-disubstituted aromatic amines (3a–g) was obtained in very good yield by the reaction of adequate doubly activated aromatic or heteroaromatic halides (1a–e) with N,N-disubstituted formamides (2a–c). Analogously, starting from 4-chloro-3-pyridinesulfonamide, the appropriate 4-dialkylamino-1H ⁺-pyridinium-3-(N-formyl)sulfonamidates (5a,b) were obtained in 52–60% yield. Mechanisms of the reactions are discussed.     

Synthesis of Some Novel α-Cyanoketene-N,S-acetals Derived from Secondary Aliphatic Amines and Their Use in Pyrazole Synthesis

New α-cyanoketene-N,S-acetals 2(a–g) and β-dialkylamine-α-cyanoacrylates 3(g–i) were synthesized in good to excellent yields by the reaction of ethyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylate 1 with secondary aliphatic amines (i.e., N-methylalkyl- and N-ethylalkylamines), and pyrrolidine, in the presence of triethylamine, under reflux in ethanol, for 1–16 h, depending on the amine used. Five N-methylalkyl amines and pyrrolidine yielded exclusively mono-substituted N,S-acetals 2(a–f) in good yields. On the other hand, N-ethylbenzylamine gave a mixture of monosubstituted products including N,S-acetal 2g in 35% yield and the unexpected product ethyl 3-[benzyl(ethyl)amino]-2-cyanoacrylate 3g in 50% yield. N-Ethylcyclohexylamine and N-ethylbutylamine did not produce N,S-acetals and gave only the unexpected products ethyl 2-cyano-3-[cyclohexyl(ethyl)amino]acrylate 3h and ethyl 3-[butyl(ethyl)amino]-2-cyanoacrylate 3i in good yields. The α-cyanoketene-N,S-acetals 2(a–f), 2j, and 2k underwent cyclization with the binucleophile hydrazine in ethanol under reflux to afford substituted pyrazoles 4(a–f), 4j, and 4k in good yields.

A library of twenty five 1,2,3-triazoles bridged with amine-amide functionalities have been synthesized from reaction of N-substituted(prop-2-yn-1-yl)amines (2a–2e), 2-bromo-N-arylacetamides (4a–4e) and sodium azide through copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. The synthesized compounds were characterized by using FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS techniques. The structures of synthesized 5a (CCDC 1569245) and 5h (CCDC 1569249) were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Antifungal evaluation of newly synthesized triazoles was carried out against – Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Biological screening of synthesized 1,2,3-triazoles revealed moderate to good antifungal activity against tested strains.

This bromo derivative reacts with potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogen sulfide, aromatic amines, ammonium thiocyanate, thiourea, N‐phenylthiourea, and thiosemicarbazide to afford highly substituted furan, thiophene, pyrrole, and 2‐aminothiazole derivatives. Mechanistic explanations as well as structure elucidations are discussed.     

Activated Sterically Strained C = N Bond in N-Arylsulfonyl-p-quinonemono- and Diimines: IX. Synthesis and Reactions of N-Tosyl-2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinonimine

N-Tosyl-2'3'5'6-tetramethyl-1'4-benzoquinonimine as the other N-arylsulfonyl-1'4-benzo-quinonimines with an activated C = N bond reacts along 1'2-addition path with alcohols, sodium azideand along 1,2-addition-elimination path with aromatic amines. The higher activity of the C = N bond in theN-arylsulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinonimines is not due to the electronic character of the substituent attached to the ring (Cl, CH₃) but to steric influence resulting in increase in the bond angle C = N-S.     

SYNTHESIS OF NEW OXAMIDE DERIVATIVES OF D-GLUCOSAMINE AND ALIPHATIC OR AROMATIC AMINES

New oxamides, derivatives of D-glucosamine and aliphatic or aromatic amines were prepared by acylation of methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α- or -β-D-glucopyranoside (1c or 1d) with oxalyl chloride, followed by reaction with amine. The reaction was assumed to proceed by the intermediate of N-carbomethoxy N-(methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α or β-D-glucopyranosid-2-yl) oxamic acid chloride which reacted with amines, and afforded N-acetyl, N-(methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α- or -β-D-glucopyranosid-2-yl), N′-alkyl or aryloxamide (5–7), and N-(methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α- or -β-D-glucopyranosid-2-yl), N′-alkyl or aryloxamide (8–13).     

An Analysis of the Relative Occurrence of N-Demethylation and N-Oxidation in Xenobiotic Metabolism Using Structure-Reactivity Maps

Abstract

The relative occurrence of N?demethylation and N?oxidation in a structurally diverse set of N?methyl tertiary amines was examined using structure-reactivity maps. A structure-reactivity map of the data indicated important structural features useful for predicting the relative occurrence of these reactions. A steric index which describes the degree of steric hinderance at the N?methyl reaction site is defined. A QSAR between the relative occurrence of N?demethylation and N?oxidation of N?methyl tertiary amines and the steric index was developed.     

Vinamidinium salts of N-substituted aminoacetic acids

Formylation of N-phthaloylglycine with the POCl3-DMF system afforded N,N,N′, N′-tetramethyl-2-(N-phthaloyl)vinamidinium perchlorate (2). X-ray diffraction study showed that molecule 2 is planar and contains two equivalent nitrogen atoms in the three-carbon vinamidinium fragment. Salt 2 undergoes transamination with primary aromatic amines to give the corresponding bis-azomethines. The reactions with hydrazines produce substituted 4-aminopyrazoles.

Studies on Pyrazine Derivatives,XLVI: The Synthesis of New Pyrazine Derivatives with N′-(Pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic Acid Methyl Ester Usage

4-Ω-alkylsubstituted derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-2-thiones 2–7 were obtained using the high reactivity of N′-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic acid methyl ester 1 towards amines. In the reaction with cysteamine 1,3-thiazaethylene-1,2,4-triazole 8 formed. Aromatic amines and N-aminocycloalkylamines gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives 9–12 under the same conditions. The solution of sodium hydroxide caused the decomposition of compounds 11 and 12 and resulted in 4-piperidino- and 4-morpholino-thiosemicarbazides 13 and 14. Compounds 11 and 12 were cyclized to appropriate 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-2-thiones 16 and 17 under the influence of DBU or potassium carbonate solution. The heating of derivative 12 with sulfuric acid led to disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole 18.     

Effect of Amines on the Selective Bromination of Some β-Substituted-2-Butenoic Esters

The effect of amines on the selective bromination of some β-substituted-2-butenoic esters is described. The bromination of methyl (Z)-4-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-3-methylbutenoate 2 in the presence of DIPEA (N, N-diisopropylethylamine) and the successive treatment of the obtained dibromide with potassium t-butoxide afford the desired Z bromide selectively. But the corresponding E bromide forms exclusively when 2, 6-di-t-butyl-4-methylpyridine is used in the bromination.     

Aminophosphine ligands: synthesis,coordination chemistry,and activity of their palladium(II) complexes in Heck and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

The reaction of 4-aminodiphenylamine or 2-aminofluorene with two equivalents of PPh₂Cl in the presence of Et₃N gives new bis(diphenylphosphino)amines N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-aminodiphenylamine 1 and N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)-2-aminofluorene 2 in good yields. Oxidation of 1 or 2 with hydrogen peroxide, elemental sulfur or gray selenium affords the corresponding chalcogen derivatives. The palladium and platinum complexes of these P–N–P donor ligands were prepared by the reaction of the bis(phosphino)amines with MCl₂(cod) (M = Pd or Pt, cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene). All the new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, including ¹H-³¹P NMR, ¹H-¹³C HETCOR, or ¹H-¹H COSY correlation experiments. The Pd(II) complexes were investigated as catalysts in the Suzuki and Heck reactions; both showed good catalytic activity affording high yields of the desired products.
