PHOSPHONOMETHYLATION OF AMINOALKANOLS PREPARATION OF 4-(PHOSPHONOMETHYL)-2-HYDROXY-2-OXO-1,4,2-OXAZAPHOSPHORINANES1

Abstract

Treatment of aminoalkanols 1 with phosphorous acid and formaldehyde in presence of conc. hydrochloric acid gave mixtures of [(2-hydroxy alkyl)imino] dimethylene diphosphonic acids 3 and 4-(phosphonomethyl)-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinanes 2 from which 2 were isolated as crystalline solids. Similar treatment of 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol 8 gave a complex mixture from which dimethylene diphosphonic acid of 5-amino-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane 9 was isolated. 2-Aminoethanethiol, when subjected to phosphonomethylation. gave an unexpected novel quarternary nitrogen product 11. N-Alkylaminoalkanols 4 on phosphonomethylation gave 3:1 mixtures of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methane phosphonic acid 6 and N-alkyl-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane 5. Treatment of the crude mixtures of 5 and 6 with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave disodium salts of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methanephosphonic acid 7. The ratio of the cyclic to the open chain structures obtained as well as the formation of any unexpected novel products is dependent on the structure of the aminoalkanol that is phosphonomethylated. The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P spectra are reported for all new compounds.     

REACTIONS OF COPPER (I) THIOLATES WITH HALOAROMATICS

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that replacement of I or Br and not C1 or F in haloaromatic compounds occurred when copper (I) thiolates, CuSR, were used as nucleophiles. Some proto debromination was also observed. Conversely using the free thiolate anion, SR^?, in solution, replacement of F or C1 rather than I or Br in haloaromatic compounds was observed. These general observations have been confirmed in the reactions of the isomeric dibromotetrafluorobenzenes with copper (I) methanethiolate, copper (I) pentafluorothiophenolate, and the methanethiolate anion.     

Structures of Mn(II) complexes of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bpa) and (2-pyridylmethyl)(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Mebpa): geometric isomerism in the solid state

The crystal structures of [Mn(bpa)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1), [bpa?=?bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine], and Mn(6-Mebpa)₂(ClO₄)₂ (2), [6-Mebpa?=?(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine] have been determined. In 1, two facial [Mn(bpa)₂]²⁺ isomers are observed in the same unit cell, one with C _i (1a) and the other with C₂ (1b) symmetries. In 2, only the isomer with C₂ symmetry is observed. The structure of [Mn(bpa)₂]²⁺ with only C₂ symmetry has been reported previously (Inorg. Chem., 31, 4611 (1992)). The bond length order Mn–N_amine?>?Mn–N_pyridyl, observed in the C₂ and the C _i isomers in the crystals of 1, is the reverse of the order observed in the structure of [Mn(bpa)₂](ClO₄)₂ which contains only the C₂ isomer in the unit cell. The structure of 2 in which only the C₂ isomer is found, also shows the bond length order Mn–N_pyridyl?>?Mn–N_amine. In cyclic voltammetric experiments in acetonitrile solutions, 1 and 2 show irreversible anodic peaks at E _p?=?1.60 and 1.90?V respectively, (vs. Ag/AgCl), assigned to the oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(III). The substantially higher oxidation potential of 2 is attributable to a higher rearrangement energy in complex 2 due to the steric effect of the methyl substituent.     

Preparation of 5-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one and 3-Cyano-5-methoxy-4-methyl-5H-furan-2-one via a One-Pot,Domino-Knoevenagel Process

5-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1) has been prepared via a simple one-pot domino-Knoevenagel reaction starting from ethyl acetoacetate (2) and cyanoacetone (3). Similarly, a new racemic 3-cyano-5-methoxy-4-methyl-5H-furan-2-one (7) has been prepared from 1,1-dimethoxyacetone (6) and cyanoacetic acid (4). The new alkylidene derivatives (Z/E)-ethyl-4-cyano-3-methylbut-3-enoate (5), (Z/E)-ethyl 5-amino-4-cyano-3-methyl-5-oxopent-3-enoate (9), and (2,2-dimethoxy-1-methylethylidene)malononitrile (11) have been prepared via the Knoevenagel reactions. The easy access to these new compounds in good yields shows that ammonium acetate/acetic acid–catalyzed Knoevenagel reactions and domino-Knoevenagel reactions have a broad scope of application.     

OLEFIN SYNTHESIS USING LITHIUM DERIVATIVES OF N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYLDIAMIDES OF ARYLMETHANEPHOSPHONIC ACIDS

Abstract

The reaction of lithium derivatives of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyldiamides of arylmethanephosphonic acids (1-Li) with aldehydes 2 is studied. It is found that under certain reaction conditions (THF, 5 hrs at -70°C and then allowing to warm to room temperature) the aldol stage of the reaction is highly stereoselective, only erythro adducts (2-hydroxyphosphonamides) 3, 4 being formed in 47–75% yields. By heating of 3 and 4 in neutral medium the corresponding (Z)-olefins 5, 6 are obtained (yields 64–74%). It is established that an acid catalyzed olefination of 2-hydroxyphosphonamides is also possible, but the reaction is not stereospecific.

The structure of these products have been unequivocally confirmed by means of IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and mass spectra.     

SULPHENE INTERMEDIATES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF POLY(P-BENZENE-SULPHONAMIDES) AND POLY(P-BENZENE SULPHONATES)

Abstract

Various sulfides are easily oxidized selectively to the corresponding sulfoxides in quantitative yields by iodosylarene (ArIO) catalyzed by metalloporphyrin (TPPM(III)Cl (M [dbnd] Fe, Mn)). The oxidation system is demonstrated to be a possible model for monooxygenase in the study of the stereochemistry of these sulfoxides. Metalloporphyrin-iodosylarene can initially equilibrate with the oxometalloporphyrin (TPPM(V)=O·Cl) formed in situ. The initial process may involve one-electron transfer from the sulfide to the intermediate oxometalloporphyrin followed by coupling of two resulting charged products, and/or nucleophilic attack of sulfide on oxometalloporphyrin oxygen. The overall reactions are depicted by paths with different electron demands from the results of Hammett plots.

Metal ions of 1 and 5 are six-coordinate with distorted octahedral geometries. Compound 1 is an anionic mononuclear complex and 5 is a binuclear compound constructed from cationic and anionic parts. The crystal data of 5 reveal that the cationic part is formed by five terminal waters and one μ-carboxylate oxygen O2 from the anionic portion and the anionic complex is built from two deprotonated (pydc)^2? moieties. In the compounds, pydcH₂ is tridentate by one nitrogen of pyridine ring and two oxygens of carboxylate.

The bidentate hydroxamate involving bonding through carbonyl and hydroxamic oxygen (O, O coordination) has been inferred from IR spectra. The electrochemical behavior of complexes has been analyzed. Quasi-irreversible two electron metal-centered cathodic process of type Sn^IV/Sn^II redox couple was indicated by cyclic voltammetric technique. The thermal behavior of 1 and 2 studied by TGA has shown continuous decomposition to yield Sn + 0.5SnO₂ and SnO₂ as final residues. The in vitro antimicrobial activity assays of 1 and 2 against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus and Alternaria alternata) were done by MIC method. The complexes have exhibited appreciable antimicrobial activity relative to the respective standard Gentamycin and Nystatin drugs.     

Über N1- und N2-substituierte 2-Amino-5,6-dihydro-4(1H)-pyrimidinone

The reactions of the monosubstituted guanidines2 b-h with methyl acrylate in dimethylformamide or ethanol as solvent preferentially afford 1-substituted 2-amino-5,6-dihydro-4(1H)-pyrimidinones6 b-h.

Anionic polymerization of 4-methyl-2-oxetanone (β-butyrolactone)

Polymerization of 4-methyl-2-oxetanone ( 1 ) initiated with potassium acetate-dibenzo-18-crown-6 complex ( 2 ) in THF as solvent, was studied. Transfer reactions, leading to both crotonate anions and carboxylic acid formation, have been observed. Two kinetic effects of these reactions, hampering the living polymerization, have been established. The first results from reinitiation with the crotonate anions and thereby lowers the polymer molecular weight. The second is the decrease in the overall polymerization rate due to complexation of the growing carboxylate anions with carboxylic acid moieties. Kinetic scheme of polymerization involves propagation accompanied by transfer followed by slow reinitiation. This scheme, including complexation of the active species has been solved numerically. The apparent rate and equilibrium constants (k_p, k_tr, k_ri, and K_ass and respectively) have been determined. Although these kinetic parameters depend strongly on the polymerization conditions, but the ratio of the rate constants k_p : k_t : k_ri is fairly constant and equal to 10⁻⁴ : 10⁻⁶ : 10⁻⁶, respectively (at 20°C). Conditions of the controlled anionic synthesis of the amorphous poly(4-methyl-2-oxetanone) with $\bar M_n$ as high as 1.7 × 10⁴ and ${{ \le \bar M_n } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{ \le \bar M_n } {\bar M_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\bar M_n }} \le 1.20$ have also been elaborated.     

Cost-effective ionic liquid for environmentally friendly synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones

Abstract

A simple, efficient and environmentally friendly process for synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones using a one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, β-dicarbonyl compounds, and urea/thiourea is discussed. The cost-effective, new generation ionic liquid (IL), tri-(2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium acetate was used as both solvent and catalyst. The reactions were carried out using both conventional heating and microwave energy. Application of IL technology with microwave energy represents an attractive and rapid alternative to the conventional acid–base catalyzed thermal processes.
