The Preparation of Substituted 1(2H)-Isoquinolinones from Dilithiated 2-Methyl-N-arylbenzamides, 2-Methyl-N-(arylmethyl)-benzamides,or 2-Methylbenzoic Acid, 2,2-Dimethylhydrazide

2-Methyl-N-arylbenzamides (N-aryl-ortho-toluamides), 2-methyl-N-(arylmethyl)-benzamides (substituted benzyl, N-benzyl-ortho-toluamides), or 2-methylbenzoic acid, 2,2-dimethylhydrazide (ortho-toluic acid, N,N-dimethylhydrazide), were dilithiated with excess lithium diisopropylamide, and the resulting polyanion-type intermediates were condensed with aromatic esters followed by acid cyclization to the 3-substituted-1(2H)-isoquinolinones (isocarbostyrils).     

Prediction of ortho(β) 13C chemical shifts in conjugated systems

An equation has been developed which relates ortho or C-β ¹³C substituent chemical shifts (SCS) to the ortho proton–proton coupling constant in the unsubstituted member of a conjugated series. This method is an extension of previous equations which have been used to predict ortho ¹H SCS values, and has its origin in a relationship between bond order and SCS values. The equation was derived from ortho ¹³C data in 2-naphthalenes and monosubstituted benzenes and its application to other unsaturated series is discussed.     

Palladium(II)-assisted ortho alkylation of C(sp2)-H bonds in substituted azobenzenes with simple alkyl halides

Abstract

A new and relatively simple synthetic strategy has been described for Pd(II)-catalyzed C-C bond formation via alkylation of ortho C(sp²)-H bonds in substituted azobenzenes possessing (2-phenylamino)phenylazo directing group employing different alkyl iodides. The yields of various ortho alkylated products are found to be good to excellent (65%–85%). A palladocyclic intermediate complex has been isolated and fully characterized. Based on the experimental results and the isolation of the palladocyclic intermediate, a catalytic cycle involving a sequential C-H activation/oxidative addition followed by reductive elimination pathway has been proposed.     

The Preparation of 2-(2-Oxo-2-Phenylethyl) Benzoic Acids from Dilithiated Ortho-Toluic Acid.

ortho-Toluic acid was dimetalated with excess lithium diisopropylamide, and the resulting intermediate was condensed with a variety of aromatic esters to afford new substituted 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzoic acids (ortho-phenacylbenzoic acids).     

A convenient synthesis of nitro-substituted 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides (nitrosaccharins)

Nitro-substituted 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides (nitrosaccharins) have been synthesized by amminolysis of nitro 2-chlorosulfonylbenzoate esters. This method appears to have advantages over the original procedure of oxidation of an ortho-toluenesulfonamide.     

Crystal Structure of the Coordinatively Unsaturated 2-Pyridylphosphine Pd(0) Complex Pd(PPh2Py)3

The three-coordinate tris(2-pyridylphosphine)palladium(0) complex is the first example of a group 10 metal complex bearing pyridine substituted phosphine ligand, whose crystal structure is determined. Pd(PPh₂py)₃ crystallizes in the triclinic space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $, with a = 12.874(4) Å, b = 14.162(3) Å, c = 14.912(3) Å, α = 87.76(2)°, β = 66.50(2)°, γ = 63.17(2)°, Z = 2, and V = 2191(1) ų. Full-matrix least-squares refinement of 523 variables using 4911 data (F²_o > 3σF²_o) gave R = 0.033 and R_w = 0.033. The pyridine ring is disordered. Possible weak interactions among Ph rings or Py rings and Pd center are discussed. Close approach of the ortho hydrogen on phenyl rings to the Pd center may imply facile ortho metallation.     

Electron impact induced cyclizations in 4-chioro-3-(N-aryliminomethyl) (2H) benzopyrans and benzothiopyrans

Intramolecular substitutions leading to cyclizations with the ejection of chlorine have been noticed during mass spectral fragmentation of 4-chloro-3-(N-aryliminomethyl) (2H) benzopyrans and benzothiopyrans. Very interesting ortho effects involving intramolecular substitutions have also been observed in 6-methyl-4-diloro-3-[N-(2-methoxyphenyliminomethyl)] (2H) benzopyran and 6-methyl-4-chloro-3-[N-(2-chlorophenyliminomethyl)]-(2H) benzopyran. The proposed fragmentation mechanisms have been supported by the accurate mass measurements and linked scan studies.     

Improved Synthesis of 2‐(3H)Benzothiazolethiones under Microwave Irradiation

2‐(3H)Benzothiazolethiones (2‐mercaptobenzothiazole) are prepared by an improved method, which utilizes microwave‐assisted cyclization of the corresponding ortho‐haloanlines with potassium O‐ethyl dithiocarbonate. By using microwave irradiation, the relative reactivity of 2‐chloroanilines was greatly improved to the same level as that of 2‐fluoroanilines and 2‐bromoanilines.     

Indoledione-indole rearrangement (review)

The indoledione-indole rearrangement, which occurs during the basic condensation ofortho-aminophenylcarbonyl compounds (ortho-aminophenylglyoxylic acid,ortho-aminoketones) with halomethylketones, is reviewed.Institute of Biological Plant Protection, Academy of Sciences of the Moldavian Republic, Kishinev 2058.

Cyclization of ortho-(alk-2-enyl)anilines under the action of iodine

The reaction of ortho-(cyclohex-2-enyl)aniline with I₂ in nonpolar and polar solvents affords predominantly 1-iodohexahydrocarbazole and azatricyclotridecatriene, respectively. Under analogous conditions, 4-methyl-2-(1-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)aniline undergoes cyclization to form exclusively products with quinoline structures regardless of the solvent used.

New derivatives of 3,1-benzoxazine have been synthesized by the cyclization of RCO-substituted at the nitrogen atom (R = OEt, Me, NH₂) ortho-(cycloalk-1-enyl or alken-1-yl)anilines under mild conditions.     

Application of Organolithium and Related Reagents in Synthesis, Part 29 [1]. A Concise Regiospecific Conversion of Benzoic Acids into 5-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-5-phenylpent-2-enoic Acids

A convenient two-step protocol preparation of ortho-alkylated (substituent with the carbomethoxy group at the end of five carbon atoms alkyl chain) aromatic carboxylic acids from benzoic acids anilides is described. Ortho-lithiation of benzanilides and subsequent reaction of the generated bis(N- and C-ortho-)-lithiated anilides with aromatic aldehydes provided 3-arylphthalides. In the next step, these phthalides were converted into 5-(2-carboxyphenyl)-5-phenylpent-2-enoic acids by treatment with 1-methoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxybuta-1,3-diene.

Synthesis and reactivity of rhodium(I) complexes of the type Rh(L-L)(CO)[P(OPh)3] and Rh(L-L)[P(OPh)3]2

Summary The carbonyl ligands in the Rh¹ complexes Rh(L-L)(CO)₂ [L-L=anthranilate (AA) orN-phenylanthranilate(FA) ions] are replaced by P(OPh)₃ to form the mono-or disubstituted products, Rh(L-L)(CO)[P(OPh)₃] and Rh(L-L)[P(OPh)₃]₂ respectively depending on the [P(OPh)₃]/[Rh] molar ratio, at room temperature and in air. Under argon at [P(OPh)₃]/[Rh]4 theortho-metallated Rh¹ complex Rh[P(OPh)₃]₃[P(OC₆H₄)-OPh)₂] is formed. The new route forortho-metallated Rh¹ complex synthesis is described.The Rh(AA)(CO)₂ complex was used as a catalyst precursor in hydroformylation of olefins.     

Chiral photochromic 2-(N-acyl-N-arylaminomethylene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones

Photochromic 2-(N-acyl-N-arylaminomethylene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones containing ortho-substituents in the N-phenyl ring were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. It was established that these compounds have stable chiral structures due to hindered rotation of the phenyl ring around the C—N bond. The energy barrier to racemization evaluated by dynamic NMR spectroscopy is G ^# _{428 K} = 98 kJ mol^–1.     

Tricarbonylchromium(0) promoted stereoselective transformations of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine derivatives

(−)-(1S,2S)-(N,O-Dimethylephedrine)tricarbonyl chromium(0) (6) and (−)-(1S,2R)-(N,O-dimethylpseudoephedrine)tricarbonylchiromium(0) (22) undergo completely stereoselective ortho deprotonation upon treatment with alkyllithium base, followed by addition of an electrophile. In both cases, exclusive removal of the pro-(R)-ortho proton was confirmed by single crystal X-ray structure analyses of the methylated products. Addition of methyllithium onto the ortho-formylated derivative of complex (6) occurs stereoselectively, the stereochemistry of the major product being confirmed by a single crystal X-ray structure determination. The results presented demonstrate an efficient transfer of chirality from a side chain onto the (arene)tricarbonylchromium(0) complex and back to a different side chain.

2- and 3-arylpropyl(ethynyl)dimethylsilanes

Hydrosilylation of ortho- and para-substituted 2-phenylpropenes and ortho-, meta-, and para-alkoxysubstituted 3-phenylpropenes with chlorodimethylsilane in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ was effected.
