Chlorination of 4-methyl-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H,1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one

The results of the chlorination of 4-methyl-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H,1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones are compared with the results of quantum-chemical calculations of 4-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones with various substituents in the benzene ring in the case of homolytic halogenation. The chlorination of 4-methyl-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one (I) with N-chlorosuccinimide leads to 3-chloro- and 3,3-dichloro-4-methyl-8-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones, whereas chlorination with sulfuryl chloride leads to 4-chloromethyl and 3,3-dichloro-4-methyl derivatives. The IR, PMR, and mass spectra of the synthesized compounds are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1272–1274, September, 1981.

A mass spectrometric study of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridone and its derivatives

The mass spectra of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridone, its N-methyl and N-phenyl derivatives, and also their 4-O-acetyl and 3-C-acyl derivatives have been studied. The proposed fragmentation pathways were supported by comparison of the mass spectra and in some cases by the spectra of deutero analogues. A strong N-phenyl group effect has been found, which in the case of N-phenyl-4-hydroxy- and N-phenyl-4-acetoxy-6-methyl-2-pyridones promotes the formation of the stable [M—H]+ and [M—CH₃CO]+ ions respectively. These ions are not characteristic of the N—H and N—Me analogues.     

Synthesis of 5-[2-(Phenoxy)ethyl] Derivatives of 6-Methyluracil, 6-Methyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one,and 2-Imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one

A synthesis of novel derivatives of 6-methyluracil, 6-methyl-2-thioxo-, and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one containing a 2-(phenoxy)ethyl substituent at position 5 of the pyrimidine ring has been carried out. It was found that 5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl] derivatives of 6-methyl-2-thioxo- and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one are obtained by the condensation of the corresponding ethyl 3-oxo-2-(2-phenoxyethyl)butanoates with thiourea or guanidine. 6-Methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]uracils can be prepared by treating 6-methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-ones with an excess of aqueous monochloroacetic acid solution. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1213–1217, August, 2005.

Mass-spectrometric behavior of 2-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxaline derivatives

The mass spectra of 20 derivatives of 2-methyl-3-oxo (thioxo)-3,4-dihydroquinoxaline, as well as 2-nitromethylquinoxaline and 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxopiperazine, were recorded in order to study the possibility of detection of a ketimine-enamine equilibrium in the gas phase. It was established that the mass-spectrometric criteria for the identification of the tautomeric forms that were previously proposed for analogous structures are inapplicable in the case of the investigated compounds. The mass spectra of all of the compounds are presented, and correlated schemes for their fragmentation are given.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1118–1121, August, 1981.     

Synthesis of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran derivatives

A number of 2-.carbethoxy-3-methylbenzofuran derivatives were synthesized. A 5,5-gem-dibromo derivative was obtained in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-oxo-4, 5,6,7,tetrahydrobenzofuran. Dehydrobromination of this, dibromo derivative gave 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-bromobenzofuran. Depending on the structure of the starting compound and the brominating agent, the bromine in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy- and 4-acetoxybenzofurans with bromine and N-bromosuccinimide is incorporated either in the methyl group or in 5 and 7 positions of the benzofuran ring. The nitration of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran and its bromo derivative leads to 5-nitro- and 5,7-dinitrobenzofuran derivatives. The structures of the synthesized benzofuran derivatives were established by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 27–29, January, 1980.     

Mass spectral fragmentation pattern of 5-methyl-4-[(phenylamino)methylene]-2,4-dihydro-3h-pyrazol-3-one and its 2-methyl and 2-phenyl derivatives

The mass spectral fragmentation patterns of 5-methyl-4-[(phenylamino)methylene]-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one and its 2-methyl and 2-phenyl derivatives have been elucidated. The principal initial fragmentation route involves rupture of the exocyclic CH-NH bond. Minor routes involve loss of H, OH and C₆H₅ from the molecular ion and rupture of the pyrazolone ring.

2-Benzyl-2-methyl-2H-benzimidazole 1,3-dioxide derivatives: Spectroscopic and theoretical study

The spectroscopic behavior of 2-benzyl-2-methyl-2H-benzimidazole 1,3-dioxide derivatives in solution was studied in terms of electronic and nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H and (13)C NMR) techniques. The experimental spectra were compared to the theoretical ones, obtained at DFT level, proving that the compounds adopt in solution a bird-like conformational distribution. Also, theoretically this conformational distribution resulted the most stable in gas phase. Infrared spectroscopy was used to study solid state behavior identifying experimentally the N-O stretching near to 1380, 1365 and 1225 cm(-1) and the vibrational benzimidazole skeleton near to 1610 and 1590 cm(-1). The vibrational spectrum was satisfactorily described by DFT calculations funding the N-O stretching as a coupled vibration near to 1470, 1350 and 1285 cm(-1). The fragmentation that takes place in mass spectrometry was assigned for all of the new derivatives.     

Acylation of 3-methyl-2-azafluorene

1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives

The reactions of arylnitrile oxides 2 and 2-diazopropane 5 with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives 1 have been studied. 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives is taking place regiospecifically. The asymmetric induction expected by the chiral centre of the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives was very effective, diastereoisomers 3 and 4 were formed in an approximate 90:10 ratio. The stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the 2-diazopropane with the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives are investigated. The attack of the 1,3-dipole occurred from the less hindered face of the dipolarophile, giving the isomer 6.

Rearrangement ions—II: Mass spectra of the C-13 labeled 2-methyl-2-hydroxy-propanes and 2-methyl-2-aminopropanes

The mass spectra of 2-methyl-2-hydroxypropane (I) and 2-methyl-2-aminopropane (II) exhibit fragment ions which suggest skeletal rearrangement processes. The C-13 analogs of I and II, labeled in the 1- and 2-positions, were prepared in order to determine the most probable mechanistic pathways for fragmentation. Label retentions in major fragment ions indicate that I and II decompose into common fragments through structurally similar intermediates.     

Transformations of 5-methyl-6-carbethoxy-3,4-dihydrothieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine for synthesis of 4-methoxy-, 4-alkylamino-, and other derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine

4-Chloro derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine are formed by the action of phosphorus oxychloride on 5-methyl- and 5-methyl-6-carbethoxythieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Action of nucleophilic reagents (methanol, sodium methylate, primary and secondary amines) on these chloro derivatives gave 4-methoxy-, 4-alkylamino-, and 4-dialkylamino substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. It was found that 4-methoxy derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines undergo a thermal rearrangement into 3-methyl-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimid-4-ones. In the bromination of 5-methyl-4-chloro- and 5-methyl-4-methoxy-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines by N-bromosuccinimide, 5-bromomethyl derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine are formed, from which, by the action of primary and secondary amines, 5-aminomethyl-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were obtained. A synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,3-diazepino[4a,10-d,e] thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines was also carried out.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsilicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 925–928, July, 1985.
