Alkylation of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,4-dibromo-2-methylbut-2-ene under phase-transfer-catalysis

Quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 1 ) was reacted with 1,4-dibromo-2-methylbut-2-ene ( 2 ) to give two dialkylated products and two monoalkylated products. The reaction of 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 8 ) with 1,4-dibromo-2-methylbut-2-ene ( 2 ) resulted in the formation of three dialkylated products.     

Reaktion von (Z,Z)-1,5-Cyclooctadien mit N-Bromsuccinimid in Gegenwart von Wasser oder Methanol

The action of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and water on (Z, Z)-1,5-cyclooctadiene (1) results in the formation ofendo,endo-2,5-dibromo-9-oxabicyclo [4.2.1]nonane (2),endo,endo-2,6-dibromo-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (3),trans-6-bromo-(Z)-cycloocten-5-ol (4a),endo-6-bromo-cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-2-ol (5a), andtrans-5,6-dibromo-(Z)-cyclooctene (6).2 and3 are considered to be produced from intermediary4a via transanular participation of the hydroxyl group.5a is formed in a result of transanular double bond participation.The reaction of1 withNBS and methanol similarly produces2, 3,trans-6-bromo-5-methoxy-(Z)-cyclooctene (4b),endo-6-bromo-2-methoxy-cis-bicyclo-[3.3.0]octane (5b), and6.

Acetylenchemie, 14. Mitt.: PTC-Umsetzung von 9(10H)-Acridinon mit 3-Chlor-3-phenyl-1-propin und 3-Brom-1-phenyl-1-propin

Summary Reaction of 9(10H)-acridinone (2) with 3-chloro-3-phenyl-1-propyne under PTC conditions affords 1-methyl-2-phenyl-6H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-de]acridin-6-one (1 b), 10-(2-chloro-1-methyl-2-phenyl-ethenyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (4), 10-(3-phenyl-1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (7), and 10-(4-methylene-2,3-diphenyl-2-cyclobuteneylidenemethyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (5). The structure of the last compound which crystallizes in the triclinic system with the space group , was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Under the same conditions 10-(3-phenyl-2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (3) and 10-(3-phenyl-1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (6) were obtained from 9(10H)-acridinone (2) and 3-bromo-1-phenyl-1-propyne.

     

Transformations of 1-(2-chloropyridyl-3)-4-ethoxycarbonyl-and 1-(2-chloropyridyl-3)-4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl thiosemicarbazides. Attempts to prepare pyrido[3,2-e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine

2-Chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine (2) was converted with ethoxycarbonyl and ethoxycarbonylmethyl isothiocyanates into 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides3 and4, while with phenyl isothiocyanate directly 1H-pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3,4-thiadiazine7 was formed. Attempts to cyclize the thiosemicarbazides3 and4 into pyridothiadiazine derivatives5 and6 failed. In the reaction of3 with hydrazine 2-aminothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (9) was formed, while4 gave only the corresponding hydrazide10. The cyclization of the side chain occurred in compound4 by heating in aqueous hydrochloric acid to give11, which was further transformed with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) into12, while with diethyl acetylene dicarboxylate the thiazolidone derivative13 was produced.

Zusammenfassung 2-Chlor-3-hydrazinopyridin (2) wurde mit Ethoxycarbonyl- und Ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiocyanaten zu 1,4-disubstituierten Thiosemicarbaziden3 und4 umgesetzt, mit Phenylisothiocyanaten wurden direkt die 1H-Pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3,4-thiadiazine7 erhalten. Versuche zur Cyclisierung der Thiosemicarbazide3 und4 zu den Pyridothiadiazinderivaten5 und6 gelangen nicht. Bei der Reaktion von3 mit Hydrazin entstand 2-Aminothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin (9),4 gab nur das entsprechende Hydrazid10. Die Cyclisierung der Seitenkette von4 gelang durch Erhitzen in wäßriger HCl unter Bildung von11, das seinerseits mit N,N-Dimethylformamiddimethylacetal (DMFDMA) weiter zu12 umgesetzt wurde, währenddessen mit Diethylacetylendicarboxylat die Thiazolidonderivate13 entstanden.

     

Synthesis of (Z)- and (E)-3,4-Dimethyl-hex-3-ene-1,6-diols

(Z)- and (E)-3,4-dimethyl-hex-3-ene-1,6-diols (1 and 2) have been synthesized in 23% and 68% yields by a three step sequence requiring only one purification at the end. The steps are a) coupling of 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane with (Z)- or (E)-1,4-dibromo-2,3-dimethyl-but-2-ene (3 or 4), b) hydrolysis of the thioketals (8 and 9) with methyl iodide in a mixture of acetonitrile, acetone and water to give the 3,4-dimethyl-hex-3-ene-1,6-diols (10 and 11) and c) reduction with diisobutylaluminum hydride to provide the (Z)- and (E)-diols.     

Selective mono- and di-allylation and allenylation of chlorosilanes using indium

Allyl and allenyl groups have been introduced into silicon systems by the allylation and allenylation of chlorosilanes using allyl bromide or propargyl bromide with indium. The allylation of chlorosilanes afforded a variety of aryl, aralkyl, and alkenyl substituted allylsilanes. By applying this method, the reactions of 1-bromo-3-methylbut-2-ene, 3-bromo-2-methylprop-1-ene and 3-bromobut-1-ene with chlorosilanes also proceed smoothly to give regioselectively allylic rearrangement products in good yields. Mediated by indium, dichlorosilanes (R₂SiCl₂) and trichlorosilanes (RSiCl₃) can either afford monoallylated silanes or diallylated silanes depending on the amount of allyl bromide and indium used.     

Acetylenchemie 12. Mitt.: Weitere studien über die phasentransfer-katalysierte umsetzung des 9(10H)-acridinons mil alkinylhalogeniden

By the phase transfer catalyzed reaction of 9(10H)-acridinone with 1-bromo-2-propyne, 10-(2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone is synthesized. As prototropic rearrangement products of this 10-(1,2-propadienyl)-9(10H)-acridinone and 10-(1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone are obtained, Under the given conditins 1-bromo-2butyne leads to 10-(2-butynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone and 2-chloro-3-butyne leads to 10-(1-methyl-1,2-propddienyl)-9(10H)-acridinone, 10-(1-methyl-2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone, 9-(1-methyl-2-propynyloxy)acridine and 10-[1-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl-2-propynyl)]-9(10H)-acridinone. The formation of the products is experimentally confirmed and with published work compared.     

Synthesis of 1,2-bis[2-methyl-5(3,4-difluorophenyl)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene

2-Methylthiophene (1) was treated at 0°C with liquid bromine to form 3,5-dibromo-2-methylthiophene (2) which reacted with tributyl borate to give 2-methyl-3-bromo-5-boronate thiophene (3) at −78°C. Treatment of 3 with 3,4-difluorobrombenzene gave 2-methyl-3-bromo-5-(3,4-difluorophenyl)thiophene (4). Finally, a novel photochromic dithienylethene compound, 1,2-bis [2-methyl-5(3,4-difluorophenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (DT-1), was synthesized by the reaction of 4 with perfluorocyclopentene at −78°C. The compound (DT-1) was characterized by IR, NMR, MS, elemental analysis and its photochromic behavior was also discussed. __________ Translated from Chinese Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2007, 27(10): 1282–1284 [译自: 有机化学]     

Candidate Trail Attractants of Reticultermes lucifugus: Stereoselective Syntheses of (3Z, 6E,BE)-(3Z, 6E, 8Z)-and (3Z, 6Z, 8Z)-3,6,8 -Dodecatrien-1-OL1

Stereoselective syntheses on a gram scale of (3Z,6E,8E)-, (3Z,6E,8Z)-and (3Z,6Z,8Z)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, are described. A key step of the synthesis of 8 consisted of a copper-mediated coupling reaction between 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-1-butynylmagnesium bromide (15) and the mesyl ester of (2E,4E)-2,4-octadien-1-ol (14). A similar copper-mediated reaction between 15 and the mesyl ester of (E)-2-octen-4-yn-1-ol (19) was used to construct the C-12 carbon skeleton of 9. On the other hand, the synthesis of 10 was based on a palladium-promoted reaction between (Z)-1-bromo-1-pentene (23) and the organozinc bromide derived from 3,6-heptadiyn-1-yl acetate (27).

Reactions of 2-(α-Haloalkyl)thiiranes with nucleophilic reagents: V. Reactions of 2-(α-Chloroalkyl)thiiranes with organolithium compounds

2-(α-Haloalkyl)thiiranes reacted with methyl-, butyl-, and phenyllithium to give the corresponding allyl sulfides. The reactions of diastereoisomeric erythro- and threo-2-(1-chloroethyl)thiiranes with phenyllithium were stereospecific, and they afforded (E)- and (Z)-1-phenylsulfanylbut-2-enes, respectively. 3-Chloromethyl-2,2-dimethylthiirane and phenyllithium gave rise to a mixture of 3-methyl-3-phenylsulfanylbut-1-ene and 3-methyl-1-phenylsulfanylbut-2-ene. The reactions of 2-chloromethylthiiranes with phenyllithium and methyllithium in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(I) iodide (10 mol %) led to the formation of substituted thiiranes as the major products. Mechanisms of the observed transformations are discussed.     

Concerning the reaction of 2-(10-diazo-10H-anthracen-9-ylidene)-malonodinitrile and related compounds with the cryptohydride system formic acid-triethylamine

Summary The reaction of 2-(10-diazo-10H-anthracen-9-ylidene)-malonodinitrile (1) with the cryptohydride system formic acid - triethylamine was studied. The reaction product turned out to be anthracen-9-yl-acetonitrile (2a) instead of the expected 10-dicyanomethyl-9,10-dihydro-anthracene-9-yl formate. Compounds related to1 yielded in this reaction the corresponding 10-substituted anthracen-9-yl-acetonitriles. A mechanism of this reaction is proposed. The product of the formic acid promoted decomposition of1, compound3b, as well as its tautomer4b were also obtained.

oxidative cyclization of α-(o-iodophenyl)cinnamic acids as a new route to certain phenanthrene derivatives

Conclusions The cyclization of the-(o-iodophenyl)-m- and-(o-iodophenyl)-p-bromocinnamic acids using K₂S₂O₈ in conc. H₂SO₄ gave the 2-bromo- and 3-bromo-10-carboxydibenz[b,f]iodepinium betaines, whose thermolysis in conc. HI leads to the 2-bromo- and 3-bromo-9-phenanthrenecarboxylic acids. The analogous cyclization does not go in the case of the-(o-iodophenyl)-p- and-(o-iodophenyl)-o-nitrocinnamic acids.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2530–2534, November, 1980.     

Synthesis of Novel New 2-(2-(4-((3,4-Dihydro-4-oxo-3-aryl quinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)acetoyloxy)-2-phenyl Acetic Acid Esters

Stereoselective diazotization of (S)-2-amino-2-phenyl acetic acid (L-phenyl glycine) (4) with NaNO₂ in 6% H₂SO₄ in a mixture of acetone and water gave optically pure (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl acetic acid (L-mandelic acid) (5). Esterification, gave (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl acetic acid esters (6). The latter was treated with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) in dichloromethane (DCM) to yield (S)-2-chloroacetyloxy phenyl acetic acid ester (2). In another sequence, the reaction of 2-(chloromethyl)-3-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (9) treated with N-Boc piperazine, followed by deprotection of the Boc group, to obtain 3-aryl-2-((piperazin-1-yl)methyl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (3). Reaction of 2 with 3 in the presence of K₂CO₃ and KI gave the title compound, 2-(2-(4-((3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-arylquinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl) acetoyloxy)-2-phenyl acetic acid esters (1). The structures of all the new compounds obtained in the present work are supported by spectral and analytical data.     

Synthese und Reaktionsverhalten von 3-(Bis(alkylthio)methylen)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-on-und 2-(Bis(alkylthio)methylen)-3(2H)-benzofuranon-Derivaten

Summary 3(Bis(alkylthio)methylene)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-ones2a–e and 2-(bis(alkylthio)methylene)-3(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives4a–c are obtained by reaction of phthalides1a–d or 3(2H)-benzofuranone (coumaranone3), respectively, with carbon disulfide under basic conditions followed by alkylation. The reaction behaviour of the new compounds2 and4 is investigated. 2-((2-Dimethylthio-1-oxo)ethyl)benzoic acid N,N-dimethylamide (7a) and 2-((2-dimethylthio-1-oxo)ethyl)-benzoic acid 2-methylpiperidide (7b) are surprisingly formed instead of the methylthio substitution products by treatment of2a with the corresponding amine in the presence of aluminum chloride.

Structural and bonding investigation of the donor—acceptor complex 1-Sn(phenanthroline)-2, 3-[Si(CH3)]3]2-2,3-C2B4H4: A comparative study of the group 14 metallacarborane-Lewis base complexes

Closo-1-Sn-2,3-[Si(CH₃)₃]₂-2,3-C₂B₄H₄ (1) reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline to form the complex 1-(C₁₂H₈N₂)Sn-2, 3-[Si(CH₃)₃]₂-2,3-C₂B₄H₄. When crystals of this complex were grown slowly from benzene, a crystalline modification (2) was obtained in which the unit cell consisted of four identical molecules of the base-stannacarborane and six benzene molecules of solvation. When the complex was sublimed, a second crystalline modification (3) was obtained whose unit cell consisted of two crystaliographically different molecules (3-1 and3-2). In all three forms the tin was not symmetrically bonded to the carborane but was slipped toward the boron side of the C₂B₃ face, and the phenanthroline molecules were oriented opposite to the cage carbons so that the plane of the base and the carborane faces gave acute dihedral angles. However, the three forms showed a great deal of variation in the extent of slippage and the magnitudes of the base-carborane dihedral angles. Since these distortions are common structural features of base-group 14-carborane and cyclopentadienyl systems, MNDO-SCF molecular orbital calculations were carried out on the model compounds 1-(C₁₂H₈N₂)Sn-2,3-C₂B₄H₆, 1-[C₁₀H₈N₂)Sn-2, 3-C₂B₉H₁₁, and [(C₁₀H₈N₂)-SnC₅(CH₃)₅]⁺ to determine what factors dictate the structures of these complexes. The results showed that competing bonding interactions give rise to a very broad minimum in energy as a function of slippage and base orientation. Small energy variations, such as those produced by crystal packing forces, could produce large structural changes. Complex2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n witha=11.096 (9) Å,b=26.51(2) Å,c=11.729 (7) Å,=107.43 (6) ,U=3291 (4) ų, andZ=4.

Dichlorobis(cycloalkylamine)platinum(II) complexes structure activity relationship on the human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line

Summary The syntheses of dichlorobis(cycloalkylamine)platinum(II) complexes withcis andtrans cycloalkylamine ligands [cis-PtCl₂(C₃H₅NH₂)₂ tocis-PtCl₂(C₈H₁₅NH₂)₂ (3–8) andtrans-PtCl₂(C₇H₁₃NH₂)₂ (9) andtrans-PtCl₂(C₈H₁₅NH₂)₂ (10)] are described. The distinction betweencis andtrans isomers was achieved by¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The antitumor activity was determined on the cell proliferation of the human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line during long-term drug exposure. The complexes with small cycloalkylamine ligands (3–6) were inferior, those with large cycloalkylamine ligands were comparable (7) or superior (8) to cisplatin. Surprisingly, thecis/trans isomers7/9 and8/10 were equally active. All cycloalkylamine ligands were inactive. IR-spectroscopic studies showed that the size of the cycloalkylamine ring does not lead to significant differences in the Pt-Cl binding strength. Therefore it is assumed that the markedly stronger antitumor activity of the higher homologues,7–10, is not the result of a faster reaction with bionucleophils such as DNA. A possible explanation of the high activity of7–10 is the strong lipophilicity of the complexes. This assumption was confirmed by toxicity tests against confluent cultures.In memory of Professor Dr. Günter Gliemann, late director of the Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Universität Regensburg.
