Synthesis of methylpyridine derivatives. XXXV. Reaction of acetylpyridine with phosphoryl chloride to give alkynylpyridine

Reaction of 3-acetyl-4,6-dimethyl-2-(1H)pyridone ( 9a ) with phosphoryl chloride gives 2-chloro-3-ethynyl-4,6-dimethylpyridine ( 10a ). 3-Acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(1H)pyridone (14a) and 3-acetyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(1H)-pyridone (21) undergoes similar reaction to give the corresponding ethynyl (16 and 23) and chlorovinyl (15 and 22) pyridines, respectively. The chlorination of 3-acetylpyridine and pyrimidine derivatives is further described.     

Syntheses of 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1-n-propylpyrrole from isomaltol and 1-n-alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridones from maltol

2-Acetyl-3-hydroxyfuran (2) reacts with n-propylamine affording 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1-n-propylpyrrole (3) in 63% yield. The transformation of 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyrone (4) into 1-n-alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridones is achieved by benzylation of the 3-hydroxyl group whereupon the product reacts with ammonia and the corresponding pyridone is obtained. The pyridone is alkylated with alkyl bromides and after hydrobromic acid in acetic acid cleavage of the 3-position ether function, 1-n-alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridones are obtained in 48% overall yield.     

Synthesen und Thermolysen von 1-Alkinyl-2-methyl-1,2-epoxy-cycloalkanen. - Versuche zur Ringerweiterung um drei Kohlenstoffatome

Syntheses and Thermolyses of 1-Alkynyl-2-methyl-1,2-epoxy-cycloalkanes. - Attempts at Ring Enlargement by Three Carbon Atoms The 1-alkynyl-2-methyl-1,2-epoxy-alkene 2 and -cycloalkenes 9, 28 and 29 were obtained by epoxidation of the conjugated en-ynes 1, 7, 26 and 27 . The 12-membered ring en-ynes 26 and 27 were synthesized by ethynylation or propynylation of 2-methylcyclododecanone ( 19 ) to the 1-ethynyl- or 1-(1′-propynyl)-cyclododecanols 20 A/B and 21 A/B , respectively, followed by dehydration to give separable mixtures of the regio- and stereoisomeric en-ynes 22, 24, 26 and 23, 25, 27 , respectively. Gas-phase thermolyses of the epoxides 2, 9, 28 and 29 were carried out under reduced pressure through a quartz tube at 550–600°. The formation of 5-hexine-2-one ( 3 ) and 4,5-hexadien-2-one ( 4 ) from 2 can be explained by [1, 5]- and [1, 3]- hydrogen shifts, respectively, and subsequent Claisen-type rearrangements. Thermolysis of the six-membered carbocyclic epoxide 9 induced the expected ring expansion by three carbon atoms to give 14% 4-cyclononynone ( 12 ), along with the ketones 13, 14 and 15 as by-products, which probably arose from surface induced heterolytic C, O-bond fission and Wagner-Meerwein-type rearrangement processes. Preliminary experiments with the thermolysis of the 12-membered carbocyclic ethynyl-epoxide 28 , yielded a mixture, which contained 4-cyclopentadecynone ( 30 ) and afforded, after hydrogenation, cyclopentadecanone ( 31 , exaltone®) in 36% yield as the semicarbazone. Traces of 3-methylcyclopentadecanone ( 32 , rac, -muscone) were identified after thermolysis and hydrogenation of the propynyl-epoxide 29 .     

Synthesis of 1-Acetamido-2-acetyladamantane

Reaction of compound 3 with substituted 2-aminobenzaldehyde ( 4 ) under basic conditions yielded substituted 2-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-benzimidazolyl)quinolines ( 5 ). Condensation and cyclization of o-aminoacetophenone (or substituted o-aminobenzophenones) with compound 3 under acetic condition afforded compound 7 . Condensation and cyclization of compound 1 with indole-3-carboxaldehyde ( 11 ) in ethanol in the presence of excess nitrobenzene gave 3-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-benzimidazolyl)indole ( 12 ).

Summary 2-Aminothiophenol (1) reacts with 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione (2) in the presence of pyridine to form 2-acetyl-3-methyl-4H-1,4-benzothiazine (3) in high yields. Reaction of3 with hydrazine gives 4-(2-aminophenylthio)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole (5). Condensation of3 with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde yields the corresponding Schiff base7. Hydroxylamine with benzothiazine3 affords 3,9a-dimethyl-3a, 9a-dihydro-9H-isoxazolo[4,5-b][1,4]benzothiazine (8).

Synthesis of N-acetyl-3,3a,4,8b- and -1,3a,4,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indoles from N- and 2-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)anilines

Reactions of 2-bromo-N-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)-4-methylaniline and N-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)-2-iodo-4,6-dimethylaniline with acetyl bromide in the presence of potassium carbonate gave mixtures of syn and anti atropisomers of the corresponding N-acetyl derivatives at ratios of 1: 1 and 3: 2 respectively. Heating of these mixtures in toluene in the presence of Pd(OAc)₂, PPh₃, Et₃N, and K₂CO₃ (KOAc) afforded mixtures of isomeric N-acetyl-7-methyl-3,3a,4,8b- and -1,3a,4,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indoles at a ratio of 3: 1 or N-acetyl-5,7-dimethyl-3,3a,4,8b- and -1,3a,4,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indoles at a ratio of 2: 3.

A reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1 H)-thione followed by alkylation of the resulting 3-acetylpyridinethione, or a direct reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine, afforded 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine. The ketone obtained was examined in bromination reactions under various conditions. Bromi-nation in methanol or chloroform, proceeding through the formation of sulfonium bromides, gave substituted 3-(bromoacetyl)pyridine. A reaction of 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methyl-thio)pyridine with N-bromosuccinimide in CCl4 afforded N-(pyridinesulfenyl)succinimide. The bromo ketone was used for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds.     

Reaction of diethyl 3-methyl-1,2-butadienylphosphonate with 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6

Reaction of two-fold excess of diethyl 3-methyl-1,2-butadienylphosphonate with 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 leads to the formation of an adduct whose molecule includes two 1-phosphoryl-3-methyl-2-butene fragments bound together by a crown bridge with the anti location of organophosphorus groups relative to the macrocycle plane. The 1,2-multiple bond of the phosphonate is involved in the reaction. Extraction properties of the diphosphorylated crown ether toward alkali metal picrates were studied.

5-Acetyl-2-aminooxazole, upon treatment with amines in the presence of water, affords good yields of 1H-5-acetyl-2-substituted amino-imidazoles, along witn varying amounts of the corresponding 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-substituted aminopyrimidines.     

A Chemical Study of Virginia Tobacco Flavour (Nicotiana tabacum L.) II. Isolation and synthesis of cis-2-isopropenyl-8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenol and 3-isopropenyl-5-methyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene

Gas liquid chromatography allowed isolation of the novel cis-2-isopropenyl-8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenol ( A ) and its dehydration product, 3-isopropenyl-5-methyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene ( B ), from two small subfractions of Virginia tobacco condensate. Both these norsesquiterpenes were identified on spectral grounds and synthesized from 1-methylnaphthalene in a way (9 steps) that also afforded the «non-natural», trans-alcohol A ′. The possible biogenesis of A and B in tobacco is briefly outlined.     

Nichtplanare Doppelbindung in einem kristallinen Derivat von anti-Sesquinorbornen (anti-Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-2(7)-en)

Non-Planar Double Bond in a Crystalline Derivative of anti-Sesquinorbornene (anti-Tetracyclo[6.2.1.1^3,6.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene) The olefinic double bond of the title compound 2 has been observed by X-ray techniques to deviate from planarity by 13.2 (0.3)° (symmetric out-of-plane bending). Empirical force field calculations for the parent hydrocarbon 1 (anti-sesquinorbornene) give a much larger corresponding deviation of 35.6°. The calculated nonplanar double bond deformations in anti-sesquinorbornene 1 as well as in the syn-isomer 4 and other related olefins are a consequence of substantial widenings of the exocyclic C(sp³)–C(sp²–Csp³) angles when keeping the double bond planar. The considerable computational exaggeration of this novel out-of-plane bending mechanism is attributed to various possible force field deficiencies.     

Ring transformation of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4-diones

Ring transformation of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4-dione (Ia) and its N-sub-stituted derivatives, such as 3-methyl (Ib), 3-ethyl (Ic), and 3-benzyl (Id) derivatives is described.

Reaction of Ia,b,d with ethyl acetoacetate in ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide afforded ethyl 3-acetyl-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H) pyridone-5-carboxylate derivatives (IVa,b,d). On the other hand, reaction of Ib,c,d with ethyl acetoacetate in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium hydride did not give IV, but gave 3-acetyl-1-alkyl-5-(N-alkylcarbamoyl)-6-hydroxy4-methyl-2(1H) pyridone (VIb,c,d). Mechanisms for the formation of compounds IV and VI are discussed.

Methylation of 3 and reduction of the double bond in 10 afforded 6,8-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline ( 11 ). The methoxyl group at C(6) was selectively demethylated and the free hydroxyl group in 12 was phosphorylated to give 13 . Reduction of the latter with potassium in liquid ammonia yielded 8-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline ( 2 ), which was demethylated to the title compound 1 .     

Conformational analysis of 2-methyl-1,3,2-oxaza- and 2-methyl-1,3,2-oxathiaborinane associates with water molecule

The structure and conformational behavior of 1: 1 molecular assotsiates of 2-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaand 2-methyl-1,3,2-oxathiaborinanes with water were studied ab initio in terms of HF/6-31G(d) and PBE/3z quantum-chemical approximations. The most stable complexes are formed via hydrogen bonding with the heteroatoms (oxygen and nitrogen or sulfur). Their conformational behavior implies equilibrium between sofa and half-chair conformers, and intermolecular hydrogen bond is retained in the course of ring interconversion. No associate with a dative O→B bond is formed.     

Synthesis and Properties of 7-Acetyl-8-aryl-9-cyano-3-hydroxy-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,8H-pyrido[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazines

7-Acetyl-8-aryl-2-(1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-propyl)thio-9-cyano-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines were obtained by treatment of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones with epichlorohydrin in the presence of sodium bicarbonate.
