Synthesis and characterization of some new 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole triterpene derivatives from allobetulone and 2-oxoallobetulin

Abstract

The synthesis of new 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives from triterpenoid ketones has been investigated via the corresponding semicarbazones. The intermediates 5, 8 have also been isolated, separated and their structures identified. The Hurd–Mori reaction and Lalezari method have been applied to synthesize a series of new substances 6 and 7. The regioselectivity of the functionalization mostly was centered at the C-3 position for the products 9 and 10. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by 2D-NMR spectroscopy.     

High Performance Liquid Chromatography of New Potential Anxiolytic Drugs and Related Benzodiazepines: A Comparative Study of Hydrophobicity

Abstract

A comparative study of hydrophobicity in diazepam (5) chlordizepoxide (6), buspirone (7) and four related pyrrolothieno-1,4-dizepine systems (1–4) has been carried out, using HPLC (RPC) technique. The capacity factors (K') of compounds studied have been measured in five different elution conditions (mobile phase in which the percentage of methanol varies). The capacity factors (K'₀) corresponding to the absence of organic solvent in the mobile phase have been calculated. Correlations among hydrophobic parameters of series 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been established and K'₀ of compounds not yet synthesized have been calculated.     

Titanium-dioxide-mediated photocatalysed reaction of selected organic systems

The photocatalysed reaction of four selected organic systems, namely dichlone (1), 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (2), benzoyl peroxide (3) and 3-chloro perbenzoic acid (4), has been investigated in an acetonitrile/water mixture in the presence of titanium dioxide and oxygen. An attempt has been made to identify the products formed during the photo-oxidation process using the GC/MS analysis technique. The photolysis of dichlone (1) leads to the formation of phthalic anhydride (11) and 1H-indene-1,2,3-trione (10), whereas 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (2) gave rise to 2,2′-diamino bipyridyl (14), 2-pyridinamine (16), 2-hydroxy-5-chloropyridine (18), bipyridyl (19) and 2-amino bipyridyl (21). The photolysis of benzoyl peroxide (3) yielded a mixture of products such as benzoic acid (24), biphenyl (27), biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (29) and benzoic acid phenyl ester (30). Two intermediate products, as 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (35) and hydroxyl added 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (33), have been identified in the case of 3-chloro perbenzoic acid (4). The products have been identified by comparing the molecular ion and mass fragmentation peaks of the products with those reported in the GC-MS library. A probable mechanism for the formation of the products has been proposed.     

SYNTHESE DU FOSTEDIL (4-(2-BENZOTHIAZOLYL) BENZYLPHOSPHONATE DE DIETHYLE) A PARTIR D'IMIDATES N-ACYLES

Fostedil (diethyl 4-(benzothiazol-2-yl) benzylphosphonate) 7 has been synthesized efficiently by treatment of 2-(4-bromomethylphenyl) benzothiazole 6 with triethylphosphite. The latter (6) has been prepared by bromation of benzothiazole 3c. N-acylimidates 1(a–d) react with 2-aminobenzenethiol 2 to lead to the corresponding benzothiazoles 3(a–d) after elimination of primary amide 5. The structure of these products have been unequivocally confirmed by means of IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and mass spectra.     

Fluorination of tertiary alcohols derived from di-O-isopropylidenehexofuranose and O-isopropylidenepentofuranose

The stereo- and regioselectivity of the dehydroxyfluorination of various tertiary alcohols derived from di-O-isopropylidenehexofuranose and 1,2-O-isopropylidenepentofuranose has been studied. Reactions have been accomplished using DAST and PFPDEA (1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene-diethylamine adduct) as fluorinating reagents. Dehydroxyfluorination of allylic alcohol 2a has occurred with an inversion of configuration and allylic rearrangement leading to two chiral regioisomers 6a and 7a. Analogous reaction of 2b has given allylic chiral fluoride 7b as the only product. In case of phenylacetylene, styryl and benzylic alcohols 3a/3b-5a/5b the single diastereoisomers 8a/8b-10a/10b have been obtained. Additionally, the participation of 1,2-O-substituent effect in carbocation stabilization during fluorination have been discussed.     

Titanium-dioxide-mediated photocatalysis reaction of three selected pesticide derivatives

The photocatalysis reaction of three selected pesticide derivatives, namely methoxychlor (1), chlorothalonil (2) and disulfoton (3), has been investigated in an acetonitrile/water mixture in the presence of titanium dioxide and oxygen. The change as a function of irradiation time has been monitored using the UV spectroscopic analysis technique. An attempt has been made to identify the product formed during the photooxidation process through GC/MS analysis technique. The photolysis of methoxychlor (1) led to the formation of methoxychlor olefin (4) and 4,4-dimethoxybenzophenone (9), whereas chlorothalonil (2) gave rise to 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol (17) as the only product. On the other hand, the photolysis of disulfoton (3) under analogous conditions gave disulfoton sulfoxide (25) and phosphorodithioic acid (21). All the products have been identified by comparing the molecular ion and mass fragmentation peaks of the products with those reported in the library. A probable mechanism for the formation of the products has been proposed.

Efficient and versatile catalysis for β-alkylation of secondary alcohols through hydrogen auto transfer process with newly designed ruthenium(II) complexes containing ON donor aldazine ligands

A new series of ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes, [RuCl(CO)(EPh₃)₂(L_1-2)] (1–4) (E = P or As; H₂L₁ = salicylaldazine, H₂L₂ = 2-hydroxynaphthaldazine), have been assembled from ruthenium(II) precursors [RuHCl(CO)(EPh₃)₃] and bidentate ON donor Schiff base ligands (H₂L_1-2). Both ligands and their new ruthenium(II) complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) as well as ESI mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of H₂L₁ and 1 have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Based on the above studies, an octahedral coordination geometry around the metal center has been proposed for 1–4. To investigate the catalytic effectiveness of 1–4, the complexes have been used as catalysts in β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols and synthesis of quinolines. The effect of solvent, time, base, catalyst loading, and substituent of the ligand moiety on the reaction was studied. Notably, 1 was a more efficient catalyst toward alkylation of a wide range of alcohols and quinolines synthesis. The reusability of the catalyst was checked and the results showed up to six catalytic runs without significant loss of activity.
