The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).     

Functionalisation of 1,2,3-triazole via lithiation of 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole

The preparation of a number of 5-substituted 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles via reaction of 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole with n-butyllithium followed by addition of various electrophiles is reported. Removal of the protecting group by action of diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid or by tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran leads to the appropriate 4-substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles.     

Synthesis of (pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines

Methods for the synthesis of (pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines were developed. The principal route to the required intermediate 2-chloropyridines was based on rearrangements of mono N-oxides of 2,2′-bipyridine, 2,3′-bipyridine, 3,3′-bipyridine, 2,4′-bipyridine and 4,4′-bipyridine with phosphorus oxychloride. Reaction of 3,3′-bipyridine 1-oxide or 2,2′-bipyridine 1-oxide with phosphorus oxychloride gave mixtures of chloro isomers. Reaction with acetic anhydride, 3,3′-bipyridine 1-oxide and 2,2′-bipyridine 1-oxide gave exclusively [3,3′-bipyridine]-2(1H)-one and [2,2′-bipyridine]-6(1H)-one, respectively. 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines with pyridinyl groups at the 5,6,7 and 8 positions were synthesized.     

2-(Tributylstannyl)-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-indole: Synthesis and use as a 1H-indol-2-yl-anion equivalent

Pd-Catalyzed reaction of 2-(tributylstannyl)-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-indole ( 5 ) with a variety of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl, and allyl halides provides an efficient entry to the corresponding cross-coupled products (see Table).     

Synthese von Orellin

Synthesis of Orelline Orelline (1) , a metabolite of the toadstool Cortinarius Overllauns Fries with 2,2′-bipyridine structure, has been synthesized by the following method. The easily accessible 2-bromo-3-hydroxypyridine (3) was converted into the corresponding [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl (SEM) ether 4 and coupled with Zn and NiCl₂/Ph₃P to form the bipyridine derivative 5 in 79% yield. Due to the chelating effect of the two SEM-ether groups in 5 , it was possible to from selectively the dilithium compound 6 by an exchange reaction with BuLi at ?50° in Et₂O. Reaction of 6 with electrophiles at ?20° afforded the 4- and 4,4′-substituted bipyridines 7–14 in excellent-to-reasonable yield. Oxidation of 6 with 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-phenyloxaziridin and with bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide gave the 4,4′-diol 9 in 22 and 10% yield, respectively. Methanolysis of 9 directly afforded crystalline 1 in high yield, with properties identical with those of natural orelline. Formylation of 6 with N-formylmorpholine gave 45% of the dicarbaldehyde 13. Removal of the SEM groups in 13 by hydrolysis afforded the dihydroxydicarbaldehyde 15 that could be oxidized to 1 with alkaline H₂O₂. Attempts to oxidize 1 to orellanine (2) with 35% H₂O₂ according to a known procedure were unsuccessful (cf. Exper. Part). Compound 7 with two Me₃Si groups in 4,4′-position gave after methanolysis the fluorescence dye 16 with an appreciable Stokes shift in cyclohexane.     

Synthesis and Properties of Brominated 6,6'-Dimethyl-[2,2'-bi-1H-indene]-3,3'-diethyl-3,3'-dihydroxy-1,1 '-diones

Photochromic 6‐bromomethyl‐6′‐methyl‐[2,2′‐bi‐1H‐indene]‐3,3′‐diethyl‐3,3′‐dihydroxy‐1,1′‐dione ( 2 ), 6,6′‐ bis(bromomethyl)‐[2,2′‐bi‐1H‐indene]‐3,3′‐diethyl‐3,3′‐dihydroxy‐1,1′‐dione ( 3 ) and 6,6′‐bis(dibromomethyl)‐[2,2′‐ bi‐1H‐indene]‐3,3′‐diethyl‐3,3′‐dihydroxy‐1,1′‐dione ( 4 ) have been synthesized from 6,6′‐dimethyl‐[2,2′‐bi‐1H‐ indene]‐3,3′‐diethyl‐3,3′‐dihydroxy‐1,1′‐dione ( 1 ). The single crystal of 4 was obtained and its crystal structure was analyzed. The results indicate that in crystal 4 , molecular arrangement is defective tightness compared with its precursor 1 . Besides, UV‐Vis absorption spectra in CH₂Cl₂ solution, photochromic and photomagnetic properties in solid state of 2 , 3 and 4 were also investigated. The results demonstrate that when the hydrogen atoms in the methyl group on the benzene rings of biindenylidenedione were substituted by bromines, its properties could be affected considerably.     

Nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of RF-containing 4-quinolones, 8-aza- and 1-thiochromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane

Reactions of N-substituted 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones and 8-aza-5,7-dimethyl-2-polyfluoroalkylchromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane proceed mainly as a 1,4-nucleophilic trifluoromethylation to give N-substituted 2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones and 5,7-dimethyl-2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-ones after acid hydrolysis. Similar reaction with 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one proceeds as a 1,2-addition to give 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-yl trimethylsilyl ether.     

Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of 1-{[2-(Phenoxy)ethoxy]methyl}uracil Derivatives

The synthesis of novel 1-{[2-(phenoxy)ethoxy]methyl}uracil derivatives with different substituents in positions and 6 of the pyrimidine ring has been carried out. It has been shown that the alkylation of trimethylsilyl derivatives of uracil with 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)- and 2-(4-methylphenoxy)ethoxymethyl chloride under Hilbert-Johnson reaction conditions gives N₍₁₎-substitution products. It was found that the 1-{ [2-(phenoxy)ethoxy]methyl}uracil derivatives show viral inhibition properties relative to human immunodeficiency type 1 virus in vitro. The most active compounds are 5-bromo-6-methyluracil derivatives which suppress viral reproduction by 50% at 7.2 and 7.8 micromolar concentrations.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 726–731, May, 2005.

Methyl 2-[bis(acetyl)ethenyl]aminopropenoate ( 4 ) was prepared in 3 steps from acetylacetone ( 1 ) via 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-acetylbut-3-en-2-one ( 2 ) and methyl N-[2,2-bis(acetyl)ethenyl]glycinate ( 3 ). Compound 4 reacts with N- and C-nucleophiles to give fused heterocyclic systems. Derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidones 14–16 and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidones 17 and 18 were prepared from 2-aminopyridines and 2-aminothiazoles, respectively. With C-nucleophiles derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]-pyridinone 19 and 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one 20–22 were prepared.     

Synthese und Molekülstruktur des (N,N′ -Dimethylpiperazin)lithium-(μ-hydrido)(tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alanats mit intramolekularer Wechselwirkung zwischen Lithium und C?H?σ-Bindungen

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of (N,N′-Dimethyl-piperazine)lithium-(·-hydrido)(tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alanate with an Intramolecular Interaction between Lithium and C? H-σ-Bonds Syntheses and properties of the starting compounds bis[bromo-di(tert-butyl)alane] 3 , bis[dibromo-tert-butyl-alane] 4 , and (tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alane 5 are described. In the presence of 5 and the chelating amine N,N′-dimethylpiperazine lithium tert-butyl gives via μ-elimination isobutene and LiH, which is taken up by the starting alane 5 to give the title compound 6 . No attack of the strong base (lithium alkyl/amine) to the bis(trimethylsilyl) methyl substituent is observed as recently occured for the sterically more crowded tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alane. Crystal structure of 6 shows a angled Li? H? Al bridge and a short intramolecular contact between Li and C? H-σ-bonds of a trimethylsilyl group.     

Alkaline condensation of 9,10-phenanthrenedione with N,N-dialkylguanidines. A novel synthesis of 2′-(dialkylamino)spiro[9H-fluorene-9,4′-[4H]imidazol]-5′(3′H)ones

9,10-Phenanthrenedione was reacted with equimolar amounts of N,N-dimethylguanidine or creatine in 0.2 N potassium hydroxide in ethanol-water, 7:3 to obtain 2′-(dimethylamino)spiro-[9H-fluorene-9,4′-[4H]imidazol]-5′(3′H)one or N-(3′,5′-dihydro-5′-oxospiro[9H-fluorene-9,4′-[4H]imidazol]-2′-yl)-N-methylglycine, respectively. These products are the first derivatives of this ring system with 2′-amino substituents. Formation of these products accounts for the previously reported absence of fluorescence when 9,10-phenanthrenedione reacts with N,N-di-substituted guanidines.

Heterocyclizations of 1-(Benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide

1-(Benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide reacted with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium acetate in boiling ethanol to give 2,2′-dithiobis[N-(5-methylsulfanyl-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-benzenamine]. The reaction of the title compound with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in dioxane led to the formation of methyl 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxylate.

Cyclisation of 6 with guanidine followed by blocking group hydrolysis afforded N-([N-(2,4-diaminopteridin-6-yl)methyl]isonipecotinoyl)-L-glutamic acid 8 . Coupling of N-(2-amino-4(3H)ioxopteridin-6-yl]methyl)isonipecotinic acid 11 with diethyl L-glutamate gave diethyl N-[(N-[2-amino-4(3H)-oxopteridin-6-yl]methyl)isonipecotinoyl]-L-glutamate 12 . Blocking group hydrolysis afforded N-[(N-[2-amino-4(3H)-oxopteridin-6-yl]methyl)isonipecotinoyl]-L-glutamic acid 13 .     

Structural characterization of the derivatives of bis{[2,6‐(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl} selenide with palladium(II) and mercury(II)

The intramolecularly coordinated homoleptic diorgano selenide bis{2,6‐bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl} selenide, C₂₄H₃₈N₄Se or R₂Se, where R is 2,6‐(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃, 14 , was synthesized and its ligation reactions with Pd^II and Hg^II precursors were explored. The reaction of 14 with SO₂Cl₂ and K₂PdCl₄ resulted in the formation of the meta C—H‐activated dipalladated complex {μ‐2,2′‐bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]‐4,4′‐bis[(dimethylazaniumyl)methyl]‐3,3′‐selanediyldiphenyl‐κ⁴C¹,N²:C^1′,N^2′}bis[dichloridopalladium(II)], [Pd₂Cl₄(C₂₄H₃₈N₄Se)] or [{R(H)PdCl₂}₂Se], 15 . On the other hand, when ligand 14 was reacted with HgCl₂, the reaction afforded a dimercurated selenolate complex, {μ‐bis{2,6‐bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]benzeneselanolato‐κ⁴N²,Se:Se,N⁶}‐μ‐chlorido‐bis[chloridomercury(II)], [Hg₂(C₁₂H₁₉N₂Se)Cl₃] or RSeHg₂Cl₃, 16 , where two Hg^II ions are bridged by selenolate and chloride ligands. In palladium complex 15 , there are two molecules located on crystallographic twofold axes and within each molecule the Pd moieties are related by symmetry, but there are still two independent Pd centers. Mercury complex 16 results from the cleavage of one of the Se—C bonds to form a bifurcated SeHg₂ moiety with the formal charge on the Se atom being ?1. In addition, one of the Cl ligands bridges the two Hg atoms and there are two terminal Hg—Cl bonds. Each Hg atom is in a distorted environment which can be best described as a T‐shaped base with the bridging Cl atom in an apical position, with several angles close to 90° and with one angle much larger and closer to 180°.

The geometry of the coordination sphere is planar in the case of the Ni^II complex and distorted towards tetrahedral for the Cu^II complex. Both complexes have a cis configuration imposed by the chelate ligand. The dihedral angles between the N/Ni/O and N/Cu/O coordination planes are 17.20 (6) and 35.13 (7)°, respectively.

Synthesis and molecular structure of Cr(salen)(μ‐N)RhCl(COD): the first example of a heterobimetallic nitride‐bridged complex containing chromium

Five‐coordinate Cr(N)(salen) {salen is 2,2′‐[ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate} reacts with [RhCl(COD)]₂ (COD is 1,5‐cyclooctadiene) to yield the heterobimetallic nitride‐bridged title compound, namely chlorido‐2κCl‐[2(η⁴)‐1,5‐cyclooctadiene]{2,2′‐[ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato‐1κ⁴O,N,N′,O′}‐μ‐nitrido‐1:2κ²N:N‐chromium(V)rhodium(I), [CrRh(C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₂)ClN(C₈H₁₂)]. The Cr—N bond of 1.5936 (14) Å is elongated by only 0.035 Å compared to the terminal Cr—N bond in the precursor. The nitride bridge is close to being linear [173.03 (9)°] and the Rh—N bond of 1.9594 (14) Å is very short for a monodentate nitrogen‐donor ligand, indicating significant π‐acceptor character of the Cr[triple‐bond]N group.     

{3,3′‐[2,2′‐(Ethylenedioxy)dibenzyl­idene]bis(S‐methyl dithiocarbazate)}­nickel(II)

The tetradentate N₂S₂ Schiff base ligand 3,3′‐[2,2′‐(ethyl­ene­di­oxy)di­benzyl­idene]­bis­(S‐methyl di­thio­car­ba­zate) (H₂L), prepared by the condensation of S‐methyl di­thio­carb­aza­te with 1,4‐bis(2‐formyl­phenyl)‐1,4‐dioxa­butane in a 1:2 molar ratio, reacts with nickel acetate to form the title neutral metal complex, [Ni(C₂₀H₂₀N₄O₂S₄)]. The X‐ray structure of the complex shows a distorted square‐planar geometry around the Ni atom. The monomeric units are weakly associated into dimers via a long Ni?S interaction [3.569 (1) Å]. These dimeric units are then linked by C—H?S intermolecular contacts to form a polymeric chain along the a axis.
