Aluminum chloride–catalyzed C-alkylation of pyrrole and indole with chalcone and bis-chalcone derivatives

The AlCl₃-catalyzed alkylation of pyrrole (2) with chalcone (1a–i) at a ratio of 8:1 in the presence of 10 mol% AlCl₃ gave the solely 2-alkyl pyrroles (3a–i) at room temperature for 12 in good yields. The same reaction was performed with pyrrole (2) and chalcone at a ratio of 1:3 in CH₃CN at rt for 3 h to achieve 2,5-dialkyl pyrroles (4a–f). In addition, the reaction of the pyrrole (2) and indole (7) on 1,4-phenylene bis-chalcones (5a–g) at the ratio of 8:1 at rt for 24 h gave the double-addition products 6a–g and 8a–g in good yields, respectively. The structure of the products was confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

One-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones,thiones and 2-selenoxo DHPMs using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate as non-halogenated ionic liquid

Abstract

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM][HSO₄]) as a non-halogenated ionic liquid (IL) was used for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones or 2-selenoxo DHPMs in a Biginelli type multi-component reaction. By using this ionic liquid, the reaction time was significantly reduced and the products were obtained in good to high yields. Also, in this method, the synthesis of novel 2-selenoxo DHPMs is introduced in the presence of this ionic liquid and their structures were determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT-IR, and Elemental analysis.     

A Precautionary Note Regarding Derivatization of Secondary Amines with Dialkylacetals of Formamide Other Than the Diethyl Derivative

Abstract

In an earlier communication we reported GC-MS studies on the reaction products of secondary amino tricyclics and dimethylformamide.¹ The diethyl acetal reaction products were identified as N-ethyl derivatives on the basis of mass spectroscopic analysis. In a follow-up study, we reported the same reaction products were formed from other DMF -dialkyl acetals, such as dimethyl and dipropyl acetals.² In view of this unusual reaction we reinvestigated the structure of the reaction products utilizing alternative spectroscopic methods, viz. NMR and IR.     

A Simple Synthesis of Some New Arylsulfonylnitromethanes

Arylsulfonylnitromethanes were obtained by a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The suggested method of obtaining arylsulfonylnitromethanes has some important advantages over the methods known so far: It is a relatively short, one-stage process; no byproducts are obtained, so there is no need for further procedures to separate the main products from the reaction mixture; and the final compounds possess a good degree of purity. The structure of the new products were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. The solid state structure of 6 was established by X-ray analysis.     

Efficient copper-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions and simulation studies

A practical copper-catalyzed I-substitutions of alkyl-2-iodobenzoates with alkynes have been developed using Cu powder as a catalyst under solvent, cocatalyst, and base-free conditions. This reaction system is new, facile, efficient, and economical that gives Sonogashira coupling products in excellent yields (up to 97%). The coupled products (A–J) were characterized by CHNS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR and are found soluble in ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. In addition, simulation studies of A–J were performed with aspulvinone dimethylallyltransferase enzyme and observe good binding affinity. The reported compounds may act as anti-cizmatics, anti-fobic in future and also have the inhibition of aspulvinone dimethylallyltransferase properties to control Alzheimer’s, Schizophrenia, etc. diseases.     

Very Simple One-Step Synthesis of Vinylphosphonates and Enamine Phosphonates by Direct Addition of Organolithium Reagents to 1-Alkynylphosphonates

Abstract

Direct addition of organolithium to 1-alkynylphosphonates (1) afforded vinylphosphonates and enamine phosphonates (2) in good to excellent yields. The reaction was carried out in dry THF at low temperature and proved to be completely stereoselective (syn addition). Alkyl, aryl, and haloalkyl groups were attached to the alkynyl entity, so the resulting vinylphosphonates contained various functional groups. The stereochemistry of the products as well as mechanism of the reaction were determined based on ¹H and ¹³C NMR. The synthesis of enamine phosphonates in the absence of complicated, highly expensive organometallic catalysis has not been previously reported.

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.     

Construction of Extended and Polymeric 1,3-Dithiolane and Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives using Cycloaddition of Bun 3P.CS2

Abstract

Cycloaddition of the adduct between Buⁿ ₃P and CS₂ to strained double bonds such as in norbornene gives novel zwitterionic products such as 5. This dissociates to the ylide 4 so that carrying out the reaction in the presence of an aldehyde leads to a Wittig reaction to give 2-alkylidene-1,3-dithiolanes. The compound 5 reacts with acetylenic dipolarophiles by cycloaddition accompanied by loss of Buⁿ ₃P to give dihydro-TTF derivatives. Both these reaction types also occur for norbornadiene and by using this together with dialdehydes or diacetylenes a range of new sulfur-rich extended and polymeric structures have been obtained.     

Expeditious,Nano-BF3 · SiO2-Catalyzed Michaelis–Arbuzov Reaction in an Ionic Liquid: Synthesis of Privileged Aryl/Heterocyclic Phosphonates

An expeditious, simple, and green method was developed for the synthesis of privileged aryl/heterocyclicphosphonates, 8(a–c) to 13(a–c) through Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction of aryl/heterocyclic halides (Br), 1–6, and trialkylphosphites, 7(a–c), in room-temperature ionic liquid [bbim]Br using heterogeneous Lewis catalyst, nano-silica-supported boron trifluoride (BF₃-SiO₂). The advantages of this protocol are simplicity, good yield of the products, less reaction time (20–38 min), mild reaction conditions, easy workup, and reusability of the catalyst and ionic liquid. It is demonstrated that nano-BF₃-SiO₂ is a recoverable and easy accessible catalyst for the formation of C(sp²)-P bond in an ionic liquid.     

An Easy Preparation of Chemically Pure,High-Activity Tritium-Labelled N-Propionylampicillin for the Analysis of Penicillin-Binding Proteins

Abstract

The laboratory preparation of chemically pure, ³H-labelled β-propionylampicillin suitable for studies of the mode of action of β-lactam antibiotics has been investigated. The chemical purity of the labelled antibiotic is a crucial factor for the quantitative determination of penicillin-binding proteins. Ampicillin (D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin) was N-[³H]propionylated by N-succinimidyl [³H]propionate, the labelled reaction products were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography followed by fluorography. The synthesis and the purification of the resulting N-[³H]propionylampicillin have been optimized, the best conditions for the acylation reaction were at pH 8.25 for 2 h, giving both a high yield of the labelled antibiotic and minimal amounts of unwanted by-products. The reaction mixture was fractionated by a two-step procedure, the purified radioactive antibiotic did not contain any residual reactant, especially free ampicillin, or degradation products such as D-α.-[³H]propionamidobenzylpenicilloic acid. This improved procedure allows an easy, fast and rather inexpensive preparation of a good quality radiolabeled antibiotic for studies of penicillin-interacting proteins.

DIFFÉRENCE DE COMPORTEMENT ENTRE LES RÉACTIFS ELECTROPHILES DIÉTHYLTRICHLOROMÉTHYLPHOS- PHONATE ET TÉTRACHLORURE DE CARBONE OPPOSÉS AU TRIÉTHYLPHOSPHITE

Abstract

The reaction of triethylphosphite 1 with diethyltrichloromethylphosphonate 2b in the absence of solvents and catalysts yields mainly diethyl(1,1-dichloropropyl)phosphonate 4 and diethyldichloromethylphosphonate 7. These main products are accompanied by a variety of by-products which differ considerably from those obtained in the reaction between triethyl phosphite and CCl₄. Both reactions would begin by a halophilic substitution of triethylphosphite on the positive halogen. For diethyltrichloromethylphosphonate 2b the formed carbanion would then attack preferentially the carbon β to P⁺ and the hydrogen γ to P⁺ on heterophosphonium cation. In contrast, the less sterically hindered trichloromethyl carbanion formed by the halophilic attack of triethylphosphite on carbon tetrachloride would rather attack mainly the positive P⁺ of this cation. The tetraethyl(dichloromethylene)bisphosphonate 8 previously reported by Kukhar and Sagina to be the main product formed in the thermal reaction between triethylphosphite and diethyltrichloromethylphosphonate was not found under our conditions. We observed its formation only under photochemical irradiation.

The structure of all obtained products was confirmed by NMR (¹H, ³¹P, ¹³C) and IR spectroscopy, and in some cases by mass spectrometry.     

Construction of Extended and Polymeric 1,3-Dithiolane and Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives using Cycloaddition of Bun 3PßCS2

Abstract

Cycloaddition of the adduct between Buⁿ ₃P and CS₂ to strained double bonds such as in norbornene gives novel zwitterionic products such as 5. The compound 5 reacts with acetylenic dipolarophiles by cycloaddition accompanied by loss of Buⁿ ₃P to give dihydro-TTF derivatives. The corresponding reaction also occurs for norbornadiene and by using this a range of new extended sulfur-rich structures and substituted TTFs have been obtained.

Communication: Furanoside C-Glycosides from an O-Methyl Pyranoside: An Unexpected ß-Hydroxy-1,3-Dithiane Rearrangement

In the course of our investigations on the synthesis of enantiomerically pure anthracycline antibiotics by incorporation of chiral building blocks we prepared the O-methyl 3-deoxy-2-C-ethylribopyranoside 1.¹ The further synthetic plan required the conversion of 1 to the dithioacetal 2 followed by glycol cleavage to a partially protected 1,4-dialdehyde for coupling experiments to leucoquinizarine in a Marschalk reaction. However, the reaction sequence failed¹ and optically active rhodomycinone had to be synthezised in a different way.² A reinvestigation of the synthesis revealed that the thioacetalization of 1 using the acidic conditions recommended by Corey et al.³ did not yield the usual open chain dithioacetal 2 but rather three new unexpected products. The less polar fraction was identified by ¹H and ¹³C NMR as tetrahydrofuran derivative 3a with the dithiane ring in a ß-orientation. The solid polar fraction (12%) consisted of a nonseparable 1:2.2 mixture of the epimeric deoxygenation products 4/5.
