Nitroimidazoles. V . Synthesis of 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)nitroimidazoles

Reaction of readily available 2-methyl-4-formylthiazole ( 1 ) with glyoxal and ammonia gave 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)imidazole ( 2 ). Nitration of 2 with a mixture of nitric acid-sulfuric acid at 100° yielded 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-4,5-dinitroimidazole ( 3 ) as the sole reaction product, while nitration at 65° afforded 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-4-(or 5)-nitroimidazole ( 4 ). N-Methylation of compound 4 in the presence of base gave 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)4-nitroimidazole ( 6 ), whereas N-methylation with diazomethane afforded 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-5-nitroimidazole ( 5 ). N-Methylation of compound 3 yielded 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-3,5-dinitroimidazole ( 7 ) in high yield.     

Synthesis and Some Transformations of Ethyl 5-Alkoxymethyl-3-(2-methyl-3-oxobutyl)-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates

Michael reaction of ethyl 5-alkoxymethyl-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates with 3-methyl-3-buten-2-one gave ethyl 5-alkoxymethyl-3-(2-methyl-3-oxobutyl)-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates. Alkaline hydrolysis of the latter, followed by decarboxylation afforded 5-alkoxymethyl-3-(2-methyl-3-oxobutyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-ones. The bromination of ethyl 5-alkoxymethyl-3-(2-methyl-3-oxobutyl)-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates provides a convenient method for the preparation of 3-acetyl-8-alkoxymethyl-3-methyl- and 8-alkoxymethyl-3-bromoacetyl-3-methyl-2,7-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-1,6-diones in high yields.     

Synthesis and modification of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(2-chloro-2-propenyl)quinoline

Chemical modifications of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(2-chloro-2-propenyl)quinoline resulted in the synthesis of 4-amino-2-methyl-3-(2-methyl-3-indolyl)quinoline.     

Synthesis of 2,5 -Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene and 2,5-Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole

Syntheses of 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene 3 and 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole 4 are described.

Cyclizaton of the resulting 1,4-bis-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione 2 with Lawesson's reagent gives 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene 3, whereas condensation with ammonium acetate provides the 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole 4.

Ring size and substituent steric effects in cyclic ketene-N,O/S-acetal trifluoroacetylations

Trifluoroacetylations of cyclic ketene-N,O/S-acetals exhibit a ring size effect. The five-membered rings 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline, 2-methyl-2-oxazoline, and 2-methyl-2-thiazoline, each form cyclic ketene-N,O/S-acetal intermediates which then react with trifluoroacetic anhydride to give β-monotrifluoroacetylation products. Conversely, the six-membered ring 2-methyl-2-oxazine gives its β,β-bistrifluoroacetylation product. In situ-generated five-membered ring N-Me cyclic ketene-N,O-acetals, 3,4,4-trimethyl-2-methylene-oxazolidine, and 3-methyl-2-methylene-oxazolidine, and six-membered ring 3-methyl-2-methylene-1,3-oxazinane were each β,β-bistrifluoroacetylated. However, 3-methyl-2-methylene-oxazolidine also afforded a γ-lactam by an iodide-catalyzed rearrangement of its β,β-bistrifluoroacetylated derivative. In situ-generated 3-methyl-2-methylene-thiazolidine gives both β-mono- and β,β-bistrifluoroacetylation products and no lactam, in contrast to its N,O-analog 3-methyl-2-methyleneoxazolidine.     

Synthesis of Derivatives of (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)acetic and (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)propionic Acids

An efficient synthesis has been developed for derivatives of (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic and (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)propionic acids by the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with methyl methacrylate, the amide of methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, ethyl bromoacetate, and ethyl acrylate. The hydrolysis of the resultant intermediates by (quinolylthio)acetic and (quinolylthio)propionic acids gave the corresponding acid products, which are also formed in the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with chloroacetic and acrylic acids. The reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with allyl bromide was studied. The potassium permanganate oxidation of the resultant 2-allylthio-4-methylquinoline led to (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic acid.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 403–406, April, 2005.

Solid–Liquid Equilibrium for the Ternary System 2-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline + 2-Methyl-6-Nitroaniline + Ethyl Acetate: Determination and Modelling

The solid–liquid phase equilibria for the ternary system 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline + 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline + ethyl acetate was determined experimentally by the method of isothermal solution saturation at temperatures of (293.15, 303.15 and 313.15) K under the pressure of 101.2 kPa. Based on the obtained solubility data, the isothermal phase diagrams of the system were constructed. At each temperature, there are two pure solid phases formed, which correspond to pure 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline and pure 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline, which was confirmed by Schreinemakers’ wet residue method and X-ray powder diffraction. The crystallization regions of pure 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline and pure 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline increased with decreasing temperature. The crystalline region of 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was larger than that of 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline at a fixed temperature. The solubility data were correlated with the NRTL and Wilson models. The values of the root-mean-square deviations are 5.01 × 10^?3 for the NRTL model, and 6.43 × 10^?3 for the Wilson model. The solid–liquid equilibria, phase diagrams and the thermodynamic models for the ternary system can provide the foundation for separating 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline or 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline from its mixtures.     

Addition-Rearrangement of Aryl- and Alkoxysulfonyl Isocyanates with 5-Methyl-Substituted 3,4-Dihydro-2-methoxy-2H-pyrans. Selective Synthesis of Functionalized 2-Piperidones(1)

3,4-Dihydro-2-methoxy-5-methyl-2H-pyran and 3,4-dihydro-2-methoxy-5,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran undergo addition-rearrangement reactions with arylsulfonyl isocyanates to generate the corresponding 3-formyl- and 3-acetyl-6-methoxy-3-methyl-1-(arylsulfonyl)-2-piperidones. For example, 3,4-dihydro-2-methoxy-5-methyl-2H-pyran and phenylsulfonyl isocyanate afforded 3-formyl-6-methoxy-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-2-piperidone as a separable trans/cis mixture in high yield. The more reactive phenoxysulfonyl and alkoxysulfonyl isocyanates provided analogous results.     

Alkyl nitrate nitration of active methylene compounds. Nitration of 1-methyl4-piperidone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and 1,3-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone

The reaction of 1-methyl-4-piperidone ( 1 ) with amyl nitrate in the potassium tert-butoxidetetrahydrofuran system gave dipotassium 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-piperidinedinitronate ( 4 ) in 78% yield. Similar treatment of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone ( 2 ) afforded potassium 3-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidinenitronate ( 7 ) in 85% yield. In contrast, the nitration of 1,3-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone ( 3 ) led to opening of the lactam ring with the formation of amyl 2-aza-2-methyl-5-nitrohexanoate ( 10 ) in 40% yield. Acidification of disalt 4 did not cause ring opening but gave the dipolar ion of 1-methyl-3-nitro 4-hydroxy-5-aci-nitro-Δ³-tetrahydropyridinium (6).
