Reactivity of 2‐methylene‐1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds. 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction with nitrile oxide

The reaction of 2‐methylene‐1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds 1 and nitrile oxides, which were prepared from hydroxymoyl chlorides 2 with triethylamine, gave 5,5‐disubstituted 2‐isoxazolines 3 regioselectively.     

Synthesis and new rearrangements of 4-isoxazolin-4,5-dicarboxylic acid derivatives

Acyclic nitrones react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) to give stable isoxazolines, from which the ones that contain electron-donating aromatic rings at the C3 position (R¹) were shown to undergo unprecedented fragmentation at room temperature, giving the R¹-aldehyde and inseparable product mixtures, probably due to the formation of highly reactive species such as iminocarbenes. Attempts to convert the isoxazolines to the corresponding stable azomethine ylides, by refluxing in toluene, again led to the same product mixtures as above (e.g., the room temperature decomposition). Isoxazolines when reacted with methoxide at room temperature afforded highly functionalised diastereomeric mixtures. Also, isoxazolines, when reacted with propylamine, gave the corresponding amides regioselectively, all of which were more stable than the parent isoxazolines.     

One-pot Synthesis of Isoxazolines Using Soluble Polymer-supported Acrylates

An efficient and rapid parallel liquid-phase synthesis of isoxazolines has been reported.The one-pot three-component reaction of polyethylene glycol-supported acrylates, aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of chloramine-T in methanol gave the corresponding PEG-supported isoxazolines, which can be cleaved from the support under mild condition to afford isoxazolines in good yields (＞80%) and high purities (＞86%).     

Regioselectivity of 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions of Benzonitrile Oxide to Alkenyl Boronic Esters: An Experimental and Computational Study

1,3‐Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile oxide to monosubstituted or 1,1‐disubstituted alkenyl boronic ester gave only 2‐isoxazolines, bearing the boronic ester group at the 5‐position of the ring. On the other hand, the cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile oxide with trans‐1,2‐disubstituted alkenyl boronic esters produced 2‐isoxazolines, bearing the boronic ester group at the 4‐position of the ring. We used quantum mechanical calculations to investigate two regioisomeric channels that were associated with the formation of 2‐isoxazolines, bearing the boronic ester group at the 4‐position or 5‐position. The study revealed that the experimental results agreed well with the parameters based on the transition state energies in gas or solvent phase. The study also informed that all the cycloaddition reactions proceed in a spontaneous and exergonic fashion.     

2-Isoxazolines with an electron-acceptor substituent at C<Subscript>(5)</Subscript> in reactions with nucleophilic reagents

Depending on the substituent at position 5 of the heterocycle, reaction of 2-isoxazolines with K-selectride, molybdenum hexacarbonyl, dimsyl sodium, and butyl lithium gave 1,3-cyclo-decomposition, aromatization of the isoxazoline ring, or reduction of the functional groups in the substituted isoxazolines. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.3, 447–455, March, 2007.     

Strong deshielding in aromatic isoxazolines

Very strong proton deshielding was found in di/tri‐aromatic isoxazoline regioisomers prepared from acridin‐4‐yl dipolarophiles and stable benzonitrile oxides (BNO). Three alkenes, (acridin‐4‐yl)‐CH?CH‐R (R = COOCH₃, Ph, and CONH₂), reacted with three BNO dipoles (2,4,6‐trimethoxy, 2,4,6‐trimethyl, 2,6‐dichloro) to give pairs of target isoxazolines with acridine bound to C‐4 or C‐5 carbon of the isoxazoline (denoted as 4‐Acr or 5‐Acr). Regioselectivity was dependent on both the dipolarophile and dipole character. The ester and amide dipolarophile displayed variable regioselectivity in cycloadditions whereas the styrene one afforded prevailing 4‐Acr regioisomers. 2,4,6‐Trimethoxy‐BNO was most prone to form 5‐Acr isoxazolines while mesitonitrile oxide gave major 4‐Acr isoxazolines. Basic hydrolysis of the amide cycloadduct led to an unexpected isoxazolone product. The structure of the target compounds was studied by NMR, MS, and X‐ray crystallography.

Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of cyclo-1,3-diene-tethered nitrile oxides

Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of cyclo-1,3-diene- and -1,3,5-triene-tethered nitrile oxides gave tricyclic isoxazolines as a single stereoisomer in most cases. The relative stereochemistry of tricycle-fused isoxazolines resulting from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of cyclo-1,3-diene-tethered nitrile oxides is cis-cis, whereas from cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene-tethered nitrile oxides the cis-trans isomer predominates.     

SOLID PHASE SYNTHESIS OF ISOXAZOLINES

1. INTRODUCTION A solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS) has increasingly attracted chemist抯 attention over the past decades [1~3]. It was found that the compounds with biological activity are mostly derived from heterocycle structures. It is therefore no…     

SOLID PHASE SYNTHESIS OF ISOXAZOLINES

The solid-phase synthesis of isoxazolines on 2-polystyrylsulfonamidoethanol resin isreported. 2-Polystyrylsuifonamidoethanol resin 1 was reacted with acryloyl chloride to afford2-polystyrylsulfonylamidoethyl acrylate resin 2, which was further reacted with brominatedaldoximes by [3+2] cycioaddition to give isoxazoline resin 4. Resin 4 was treated with aqueous 6mol/L HCI solution to obtain isoxazolines in good yield and purity.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides with nitrile oxides and nitrones

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides with nitrile oxides and nitrones is described. A series of novel isoxazolines are isolated from the nitrile oxide cycloadditions, whilst the isoxazolines generated from the nitrone cycloadditions undergo further ring opening to yield piperidines.     

Acyclic nitronate olefin cycloaddition (ANOC): regio- and stereospecific synthesis of isoxazolines

We report the first demonstrations of intra- and intermolecular acyclic nitronate olefin cycloaddition (ANOC) reactions that enable the highly efficient syntheses of isoxazolines bearing various functional groups. This general approach to accessing γ-lactone fused isoxazolines was hitherto unprecedented. The room temperature transformations reported herein exhibit wide substrate scopes, as evidenced by more than 70 examples, including the generation of five tricyclic isoxazolines. The robustness of this methodology was confirmed by a series of trials that afforded highly functionalized isoxazolines. Both experimental results and density functional theory calculations indicate that these transformations proceed via the in situ formation of acyclic nitronates together with concerted [3+2] cycloaddition and tert-butyloxy group elimination processes to give regio- and stereospecificity.

A novel acyclic nitronate olefin cycloaddition (ANOC) reaction was successfully established, which enabled facile construction of various isoxazolines.     

Synthesis of stable isoxazolines by [3+2] cycloaddition of oxaziridines with alkynes

N-Alkyl substituted oxaziridines undergo a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with a variety of terminal alkynes to give the product isoxazolines, whose stability appears to depend on the electronic properties of the groups on the C-3 and C-5 positions. The presence of an electron withdrawing group on C-5 and/or an electron donating group on C-3 causes isomerization of the isoxazolines to β-amino enones.     

Skeletal Rearrangement of O‐Propargylic Formaldoximes by a Gold‐Catalyzed Cyclization/Intermolecular Methylene Transfer Sequence

Skeletal rearrangement of O‐propargylic formaldoximes, in the presence of gold catalysts, afforded 4‐methylene‐2‐isoxazolines in good to excellent yields by an intermolecular methylene transfer. In addition, the cascade reaction with maleimide in the presence of a gold catalyst afforded isoxazole derivatives by cyclization/methylene transfer and a subsequent ene reaction, whereas that using a copper catalyst gave oxazepines through a 2,3‐rearrangement.     

Nitrile oxide cycloaddition routes to 2-(isoxazolyl)-benzoates and 2-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates

Cycloaddition of aromatic nitrile oxides to methyl o-vinylbenzoate produced methyl 2-(3-aryl-2-isoxazolin-5-yl)benzoates; the isoxazolines were converted to methyl 2-(3-arylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoates. Reaction of the nitrile oxide from o-methoxycarbonylbenzohydroximinoyl chloride ( 11 ) with phenylacetylene, styrenes, and aromatic nitriles resulted in methyl 2-(5-phenylisoxazol-3-yl)benzoate, methyl 2-(5-aryl-2-isoxazolin-3-yl)-benzoates ( 15 ), and methyl 2-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates, respectively. The isoxazolines 15 were converted to the corresponding isoxazoles 16 .

Hydroximoyl chlorides 3 react with acrylonitrile, N-arylmaleimide and maleic anhydride to give isoxazolines 5 , pyrrolidino[3,4-d]isoxazolines 8 , and furolidino[3,4-d]isoxazolines 9 , respectively. 3 reacted with 2-aminopyridine, 2-aminopyrimidine, o-phenylenediamine and o-aminothiophenol to yield 3-ni-trosoimidazo[1,2-α]pyridines 20 , 3-nitrosopyrimidines 22 , 3-naphthoyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo-1,2,4-triazines 24 , and 3-naphthoyl-4H-1,3,4-benzothiadiazine 27 , respectively. Compound 3 reacted with benzoylacetonitrile, acetoacetanilide, thiophenol, benzencsulfinic acid in ethanolic sodium ethoxide solution to give the corresponding isoxazoles 12–13 and oximes 16–17 , respectively. The structures of these products were confirmed by elemental analyses, spectral data and, wherever possible, alternative synthesis.     

Reaction of hydroxylamine with 5-aminooxazoles. A new route to isoxazoles

The nucleophilic attack of hydroxylamine at the 5 position of 2-aryl-4-trifluoroacetyl-5-amino-oxazoles leads to a mixture of stereoisomeric isoxazolines. Dehydration of these isomeric isoxazolines in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride gives 3-amino-4-acylamino-5-trifluoromethylisoxazoles. The structures and spectroscopic data of these compounds are discussed.     

Synthesis and Biological Activities of Some New Pyridazine Derivatives

The reactions of 4-carboxyhydrazide-5,6-diphenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone (I) with aromatic aldehydes, phenyl isothiocyanate, β dicarbonyl compounds, ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate, ethyl cyanoacetate and acylating agents have been investigated. Oxadiazolines (III) and thiazolidinones (IV) were synthesized from arylidenehydrazides (II) through appropriate routes. The thiosemicarbazide derivative (V) on reaction with malonic acid and acetyl chloride gave VII , and on treatment with monochloroacetic acid and sodium acetate afforded IX . Some reactions with 3-amino-4,5-diphenylpyrazolo [3,4-b] pyridazine ( XIVa ) were also reported.     

Synthesis of Spirocyclic and Fused Isoxazoline Building Blocks

A highly efficient multigram synthesis of spirocyclic and fused isoxazoline building blocks is described. Isoxazoline-3-carboxylates were synthesized via a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 2-chloro-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate and carbo- or heterocyclic alkenes bearing endo- or exocyclic C=C double bonds, resulting in fused or spirocyclic isoxazolines, respectively. The preparation of up to 300 g of these compounds was achieved in a single run. The ester group of isoxazolines was then subjected to common synthetic transformations for the synthesis of corresponding building blocks, including alcohols, chlorides, azides, amines, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, amino acids and their derivatives, difluoromethyl-substituted compounds, and bicyclic γ-lactones. Additionally, a direct cycloaddition-based approach to the synthesis of aminoalkyl- and chloromethyl-substituted isoxazolines was proposed to improve their preparation. The described isoxazoline building blocks are expected to be valuable tools for drug discovery.     

Chemistry of heteroanalogs of isoflavones

Condensation of 2-pyridylacetonitrile with polyphenols gave the corresponding -(2-pyridyl)-acetophenones, which were converted to the pyridine analogs of natural isoflavones and to 3-pyridylchromones with methyl, trifluoromethyl, and ethoxycarbonyl groups in the 2 position. The antimicrobial activity of 3-pyridylchromones and their reaction with alkylating and acylating agents and phosphorus pentasulfide were investigated.See [1] for communication V.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1180–1185, September, 1977.     

Syntheses and properties of 3-acylimino-1-alkylimidazolium and benzimidazolium betaines

3-Amino-1-alkylimidazolium and benzimidazolium mesitylenesulfonates were readily prepared in good to high yeilds by treating the parent heterocycles with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine. Treatment of the 3-amine salts with acylating agents gave crystalline 3-acylimines, which showed the characteristic ir, uv, nmr, and mass spectral properties. Deuterium exchange of the 3-acylimines occurs at the 2-position. Thermolysis of neat 3-benzoylimino-1-rnethylbenzimidazolium betaine afforded 2-benzamido-1-methylbenzimidazole and products derived from N? N bond cleavage. Irradiation of 3-benzoylimino-1-alkylbenzimidazoliurn betaines resulted in N? N bond cleavage to give 1-alkylbenzimidazoles and benzamide, while the corresponding 3-ethoxycarbonylimines underwent rearrangement to afford ethyl 1-alkyl-2-benzimidazolecarbamates.
