Heteroatomic derivatives of aziridine. 15. Reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)- and 1-[2-(trialkylsilyl)ethyl]-aziridines with thiols

The reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)aziridine with alkanethiols proceeds with splitting out of aziridine and the formation of (alkylthio)triethylsilanes. The reaction of 1-(triethylsilyl)aziridine with 2-mercaptoethanol leads to 2-(triethylsilyloxy)ethanethiol; the same reaction in a closed system leads to [2-(2-aminoethylthiol)ethoxy]triethylsilane. 1-[2-(Trialkylsilyl)ethyl]aziridines react with 2-mercaptoethanol and with mercapto carboyxlic acids with opening of the aziridine ring.See [1] for Communication 14.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 891–893, July, 1988.     

Heteroatomic derivatives of aziridine. 14. Reactions of 1-(carbomethoxyethyl)-, 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]-, and 1-[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)vinyl]aziridine with thiols, 1,2-ethanedithiol,and thiolcarboxylic acids

The reactions of 1-(carbomethoxyethyl)-, 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)-ethyl]-, and 1-[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)vinyl]aziridine with thiols and thiolcarboxylic acids produce the corresponding sulfides and esters of S-substituted N-(2-mercaptoethyl) amino acids. The reaction of 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]aziridine with 1,2-ethane-dithiol results in the formation of {1,8-bis[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)-ethyl]amino}-3,6-dithiaoctane. Cyclization of the latter by condensation with phthaloyl chloride gives 9,10-benzo-8,11-dioxo-1,4-dithia-7,12-bis[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]-7,12-diazacyclotetradec-9-ene.For report 13 see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1340–1342, October, 1984.     

Synthesis of 1-thio-phytosphingolipid analogs by microwave promoted reactions of thiols and aziridine derivatives

A practical and versatile method for the synthesis of 1-thio-phytosphingolipid analogs through regioselective nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of phytosphingosine aziridine derivatives with thiols is described. The reactions were carried out with N-acylaziridines and a variety of thiol compounds. Microwave irradiation highly improved the yield of the ring-opening reaction and the intermediate N-acyl adducts were converted into 1-S-phytosphingolipid analogs, such as phytoceramide and phytosphingosine derivatives.     

1-(Phenylethynyl)aziridine in reactions with amines

The reaction of 1-(phenylethynyl)aziridine with a primary or secondary amine gave 2-benzylimidazoline-2 or N-aminoethyl substituted phenylacetamidine via nucleophilic attack on the aziridine ring. The mechanism of aziridine ring opening by an amine was studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 600–603, May, 1989.     

Synthesis of 1-(arylethynyl)aziridines

Studies have been made on the possible synthesis of 1-(arylethynyl)aziridines by oxidative condensation of phenylacetylene with aziridine and by alkylation of aziridine with 1-halo-2-arylacetylenes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 39–43, January, 1987.     

Heteroatomic derivatives of aziridine. 13. New macroheterocyclic compounds containing arylalkyl and functional groups attached to the endocyclic nitrogen atoms

The reaction of N-substituted aziridines with 1,2-ethanedithiol and 1,2-bis(mercap tomethyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene leads to N-substituted diamines. The reaction of the latter with adipic and phthalic acid dichlorides gives N-substituted macroheterocycles.See [I] for Communication 12.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1228–1230, September, 1981.     

Highly unusual conversion of 1-alkyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines into 1-alkyl-2-(N-alkyl-N-ethylaminomethyl)aziridines using methyllithium

1-alkyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines were transformed into 1-alkyl-2-(N-alkyl-N-ethylaminomethyl)aziridines upon treatment with 2-3 equiv. of methyllithium in THF or Et(2)O; the peculiarity in this transformation comprises the presence of an N-ethyl group in the end-products as well as the total number of carbon atoms, resulting from a highly unusual reaction course with a novel S(N)2'-type substitution at the aziridine moiety and liberation of acetylene from an intermediate vinylamine as the key reaction steps.

Reaction of 2-vinylpyridine and 2-(1-methoxyvinyl)pyridine with acrylic acid derivatives

The regiospecificity of the reaction of 2-vinylpyridine and 2-(1-methoxyvinyl)-pyridine with acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate was predicted on the basis of MO perturbation theory and was confirmed experimentally. The regioisomeric compositions of the reaction mixtures were studied by means of chromatographic mass spectrometry.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterosiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1391–1394, October, 1980.     

1-(Aziridine) carbonyl chlorides and 1-(aziridine) carbonyl quaternary ammonium chlorides. Rearrangement to 2-(chloroalkyl) isocyanates

Aziridine reacted with phosgene in the presence of an acid acceptor or with 1,1′-carbonylbis(pyridinium) chloride to produce 1-(aziridine)carbonyl chloride (XII) or 1-(aziridine)carbonyl pyridinium chloride (XIII), respectively, as transient intermediates. Attempts to trap and observe (XII) and (XIII) at -10° were unsuccessful. These elusive materials underwent facile rearrangements to 2 - chloroethyl isocyanate under these conditions. Aziridine reacted with 1,1′-carbonylbis(triethylammonium)chloride (VII) at -20° to give 1-(aziridine) carbonyl triethylammonium chloride (X) as a transient intermediate which proceeded to 2-chloroethyl isocyanate. At -10° this reaction produced N,N-diethyl-1-aziridinecarboxamide. Aziridine reacted with a large excess of phosgene in the absence of an acid acceptor to give N-2-(chloroethyl) carbamoyl chloride (III), 1,1′-bis(2-chloroethyl) urea (IV) and 2-(β-chloroethylamino)-2-oxazoline hydrochloride (V). Possible mechanisms for these reactions are discussed.     

Reaction of 1-alkyl-2-aryl-3-(2-methyl-2,3-epoxypropionyl)aziridines with boron trifluoride etherate in methanol

The reaction of boron trifluoride etherate in methanol with trans-1-methyl(ethyl)-or cis-1-cyclohexyl-2-aryl-3-(2-methyl-2,3-epoxypropionyl)aziridines leads to the formation of the corresponding boron fluoride complexes on the nitrogen atom of the aziridine ring. Reaction with trans-1-cyclohexyl-2-phenyl-3-(2-methyl-2,3-epoxypropionyl)aziridines occurs with stereospecific opening of the aziridine ring to give diastereomeric 2-methyl-5-methoxy-5-phenyl-4-cyclohexylamino-1,2-epoxypen-tan-3-ones, as well as products from the opening of the epoxide and aziridine rings — tetrahydrofuranones and tetrahydropyranones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 596–600, May, 1986.     

Research on aminomethylene derivatives of azoles. 23. Synthesis and structure of formyl derivatives of 1-phenyl-5-hydroxy(mercapto)-imidazoles

1-Phenyl-4-formyl-5-hydroxy(mercapto)imidazoles were obtained by replacement of the chlorine atom in 1-phenyl-4-formyl-5-chloroimidazole by hydroxy and mercapto groups, and their physicochemical properties and structures were studied. It was shown by a comparison of the electronic and IR spectra (and the PMR spectra in the case of the sulfur-containing compound) with the spectral characteristics of compounds that model the various possible tautomeric forms that 1-phenyl-4-formyl-5-hydroxy (mercapto)imidazoles exist primarily in the mesoionic form; this is associated with their high acidities and the presence of a sufficiently basic ring nitrogen atom.See [1] for Communication 22.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 670–674, May, 1979.
