Synthesis of 3-amino-4-(thienyl-2)furazan

3-Amino-4-(thienyl-2)furazan (3) has been synthesized from 2-acetylthiophene (4) by several routes. Nitrosation of 4, followed by oximation of the resulting oxime salt 5, gave a 6:1 mixture of the E,E and E,Z isomers of thienylglyoxime (1). Estimation of differences and analogies of these isomers' reactivity have been carried out. Oxidation and dehydration of 1 gave furoxan 11 and furazan 2, respectively. Conversion of 2, 12, 13, and 11a, b into the target amine 3 by base-promoted reaction with hydroxylamine has been reported. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-3-(ω-aminoalkyl)indoles

2-Amino-3-(-phthalimidoalkyl)indoles have been obtained by the rearrangement of -phthalimido acid -phenylhydrazides under the action of POCl₃. The possibility has been studied of eliminating the phthalyl protective group from these compounds and a convenient method has been developed for obtaining 2-amino-3-(-aminoalkyl)indole dihydrochlorides. The behavior of the 2-amino-3-(-phthalimidoalkyl) indoles in alkylation reactions has been investigated.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 484–488, April, 1980.     

Synthesis of 1-(1-Adamantyl)-2-hydroxy-3-amino-3-R-propanones

Previously unknown cis-1-(1-adamantyl)-2,3-epoxy-3-R-propanones were highly selectively obtained by epoxidation of ,-unsaturated ketones with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium. The regioselectivity of the epoxide ring cleavage with amines (piperidine and morpholine) was studied.     

Synthesis of 3- and 5-amino-5-(3)-(pyrrol-2-yl)isoxazoles

5-Amino-3-(pyrrol-2-yl)isoxazoles were selectively prepared by the reaction of 2-(2,2-dicyano-1-ethylthioethenyl)pyrroles with hydroxylamine in methanol. Under analogous conditions, 2-(2-carbamoyl-2-cyano-1-ethylthioethenyl) pyrroles with hydroxylamine gave 5-aminoisoxazoles and their structural isomers, 3-aminoisoxazoles (3-5% yield). The latter were selectively prepared by reacting 2-(2-carbamoyl-2-cyano-1-ethylthioethenyl)pyrroles with hydroxylamine in the presence of aqueous NaOH and from the products of intramolecular cyclization of 2-(2-carbamoyl-2-cyano-1-ethylthioethenyl)pyrroles, 1-ethylthio-3-iminopyrrolizines and hydroxylamine.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazine

2-Amino-3-benzyl-5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazine (2), a precursor of Watasenia preluciferin (coelenterazine) (1), is widely distributed in marine bioluminescent animals. It was prepared from p-hydroxyphenylglyoxal aldoxime (5) in two steps; by condensation with or-aminophenylpropiononitrile in the presence of TiCl4 in pyridine, followed by reduction of the resulting N-oxide (6) with Zn-AcOH in CH2Cl2 and produced 2, with an 89% overall yield. This procedure was linked with the facile one-step preluciferin synthesis reported in the previous paper. Thus, Watasenia preluciferin (1), frequently required for various chemiluminescent and bioluminescent studies, was coveniently synthesized in three steps from 5, with a 56% overall yield, overcoming the difficulty of obtaining it from natural sources.     

Synthesis of some 4-carboxy-3- and 5-(2-hydroxyalkyl)pyrazole lactone derivatives

The synthesis and biological activities of some 4-oxo-1-or-2-substituted 1H-or-2H-pyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole derivatives are described.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2,4-dione

The action of alkylating agents on 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2,4-dione was utilized to synthesize corresponding esters. The hydrolysis and hydrazinolysis of the last were accomplished. Polyphosphoric acid effected the conversion of 1-(2-carboxyethyl)quinazolinedione to 1,3,7-trioxopyrido[1,2,3-k,j]quinazoline.Kaunas Technological University, Kaunas LT 3028.

2-(Acylmethylmercapto)-3-amino- and 2-(acylmethylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-acetamido-5-(or 6-)chloropyridines with phenacyl bromide and substituted phenacyl bromides yielded 2-(phenacylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines, while the reaction of the former with -chloroacetoacetic ester yielded 2-(carbethoxyacyl-methylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridlnes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1391–1394, October, 1971.     

Synthesis and properties of 4-(3-amino-2-benzofuranyl)-coumarins

The alkylation of o-cyanophenol by 4-chloromethylcoumarins and subsequent intramolecular condensation by the cyano and methylene groups gives substituted 4-(3-amino-2-benzo-furanyl)coumarins. We studied the reactions of these compounds with acylating agents as well as with aldehydes, which lead to the 6H-[1]benzofuro[3,2-b]chromeno[4,3-d]pyridin-6-one system as the result of consecutive transformations.     

Synthesis of novel heterocycles from 2-amino-3-(cyanomethylsulfonyl)thiophene

The synthesis and selected reactions of 2-amino-3-(cyanomethylsulfonyl)thiophene is reported. In particular, cyclization reaction of the versatile aminothiophene yielded a number of novel thieno[3,2-b][1,4]-thiazine 1,1-dioxides, as well as the analogous thieno[2,3-e][1,3,4]thiadiazine 4,4-dioxide. Reaction of the thienothiazine system with hydrazine was subsequently explored, which resulted in either ring-opening of the thiazine and formation of an aminopyrazole or solely ring cleavage depending on the thiazine substituent. Additionally, the synthesis of bis(2-amino-3-thienyl)sulfone and the corresponding bis-acetamide is described.     

Synthesis of 2-carboxy-5,6-ethylenedioxyindole and its 3-, 4-, and 7-halo derivatives

A method for the synthesis of 2-carboxy-5,6-ethylenedioxyindole and its 4- and 7-chloro derivatives from 3,4-ethylenedioxyaniline and, correspondingly, its 2- and 5-chloro derivatives via the Fischer reaction was developed. It was established that in the case of bromination or chlorination under mild conditions 2-carbethoxy-5,6-ethylenedioxyindole forms 3-halo derivatives, while 5,6-ethylenedioxyindole itself forms only 3,7-dihalo derivatives. The closeness in the reactivities of the 3 and 7 ring positions of 5,6-ethylenedioxyindole (as compared with indole) is in agreement with the results of calculations of the quantum-chemical reactivity indexes for electrophilic substitution.Translated from Khimiya Geterotslklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1215–1219, September, 1982.
