Uncatalysed coupling of an activated aryl chloride with aryllithium and aryl Grignard reagents

Substitution of the chloro group in 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline to afford biaryls occurs upon reaction with either aryllithium reagents or aryl Grignard reagents. The reactions with Grignard reagents occur under similar conditions to a previously reported manganese-catalysed procedure. The reactions with lithium reagents, whilst not always affording greater yields of product than the Grignard reagents, involve much shorter reaction times and afford yields, which are comparable with those obtained from the corresponding fluoro derivative.

Synthesis of a β-strand mimetic based on a pyridine scaffold

A synthetic route to a 2,4-disubstituted pyridine as a potential β-strand mimetic has been developed and applied in the synthesis of a tripeptidomimetic of Leu-Gly-Gly. The pyridine scaffold replaces the central glycine, and is substituted with analogues of leucine and glycine in positions 4 and 2, respectively. 2-Fluoro-4-iodopyridine was chosen as the functionalized scaffold and was substituted with protected leucinal in position 4 via a Grignard exchange reaction using iso-propyl magnesium chloride. The glycine moiety was introduced in position 2 via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction (S_NAr) facilitated by microwave irradiation. The synthetic sequence involved 12 steps with an overall yield of 7%.

Synthesis and characterization of perfluoro[1-(2-fluorosulfonyl)ethoxy]ethyl end-capped styrene oligomers

Styrene oligomers with perfluoro[1-(2-fluorosulfonyl)ethoxy]ethyl end-groups have been synthesized with moderate to high yields (52-97%) via radical oligomerization by using perfluoro[2-(2-fluorosulfonyl)ethoxy]propyonyl peroxide (PPP) at various reactant ratios of styrene over PPP (80, 160, 240, 300, 360 and 420) and different temperatures (33, 37 and 42 °C), and characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹⁹F NMR. The molecular weight of the oligomers measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is dependent on the reactant ratio and reaction temperature. The polydispersity of the oligomers varies from 1.99 to 3.30. The oligomer obtained at the reactant ratio of 300 has the maximum yield (97%) and much broader polydispersity (3.30). The contact angles of water, θ_H2O, on the oligomer films are much bigger than that of polystyrene (PS). The glass transition temperature of the oligomers, T_g, increases with the increase of molecular weight and is lower than that of the parent polymer.     

Preparation and characterization of symmetrical bis[4-chloro-2-pyrimidyl] dichalcogenide (S, Se, Te) and unsymmetrical 4-chloro-2-(arylchalcogenyl) pyrimidine: X-ray crystal structure of 4-chloro-2-(phenylselanyl) pyrimidine and 2-(p-tolylselanyl)-4-chloropyrimidine

Synthesis of a novel class of multinucleate pyrimidine chalcogen (S/Se/Te) derivatives has been successfully attempted for the first time by the selective substitution of chlorine at the C-2 position of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine with nucleophilic dichalcogenide anion E₂²⁻ (E = S, Se, Te) to afford bis[4-chloro-2-pyrimidyl] dichalcogenide. The highly electrophilic nature of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine compared to aryl chlorides has been further exploited to prepare a variety of 4-chloro-2-(arylchalcogenyl) pyrimidine compounds by substituting the chlorine exclusively at the C-2 position of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine with a variety of chalcogen bearing aryl anions ArE⁻ (Ar = phenyl, 1-naphthyl, p-tolyl, 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidyl, 2-pyridyl, 4-methyl-2-pyridyl). All the newly prepared symmetrical and unsymmetrical pyrimidyl chalcogen compounds have been thoroughly characterized with the help of various spectroscopic techniques viz., NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se), FT-IR and mass spectrometry (in representative cases). The crystal structures of 4-chloro-2-(phenylselanyl) pyrimidine and 2-(p-tolylselanyl)-4-chloropyrimidine have been determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Unexpected product distributions in the synthesis of 2,6-bis-(indazolyl)pyridine and 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(indazolyl)pyridine

Reaction of 2-bromopyridine with 2 equiv of sodium indazolide in diglyme at 140 °C affords 2,6-bis-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine and 2-(indazol-1-yl)-6-(indazol-2-yl)pyridine in purified yields of 24% and 68% respectively. A similar reaction, using 1 equiv of sodium indazolide at 70 °C, gives a low-yield mixture of 2-(indazol-1-yl)-6-bromopyridine and 2-(indazol-2-yl)-6-bromopyridine. Both these intermediates are transformed into 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine and 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine upon treatment with 1 equiv of sodium pyrazolide in diglyme at 140 °C. These observations imply that the indazolyl group is a leaving group comparable to a bromo substituent under nucleophilic attack by pyrazolide or indazolide ions under these conditions. No reaction was observed between 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-bromopyridine and 1 equiv of sodium indazolide under the same conditions. A single crystal structure of its iron(II) complex confirmed the regiochemistry of 2,6-bis-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine, and revealed significant conformational flexibility in the distal ligand indazolyl groups.     

Preferential Reactivity of Pyridylmagnesiumchloride with N,N-Dialkyl Arylamides over Carbonitriles: Synthesis of 2-(Aroyl) Pyridines

Reaction of 2-pyridylmagnesium chlorides with N,N-dialkyl arylamides afford exclusively 2-(aroyl) pyridines in high yields and purity without the formation of any tertiary alcohol. This method employs easily available raw materials and avoids the use of hazardous lithium reagents and cryogenic conditions. Further, preferential reactivity of this Grignard reagent with N,N-dialkyl arylamides over its carbonitrile counterparts offers a variety of 2-(aroyl) pyridines including the ones containing carbonitrile groups on the aryl ring.     

Synthesis of 2,3-bis(perfluoroalkyl)quinoxalines and 2,3-bis(perfluoroalkyl)-1,4-benzoxazines from oxides of internal perfluoroolefins

The reactions of oxides of internal trans-, cis-perfluoroolefins with o-phenylenediamine and 2-aminophenol in dioxane gave 2,3-bis(perfluoroalkyl)quinoxalines and 2,3-bis(perfluoroalkyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-ols respectively in yields of 23-67%. When N,N-dimethylacetamide was used as a solvent an anionic isomerization of the oxides into ketones, which further yielded 2-(perfluoroalkyl)benzimidazoles in the case of o-phenylenediamine and 2-hydroxy-N-perfluoroalkanoylanilines in the case of 2-aminophenol, became the main path of these reactions. Unusual cyclization resulting in 2-pentafluoroethyl-2-pentafluoropropanoylbenzoxazolidine occurs on interaction between dodecafluoro-3,4-epoxyhexane and 2-aminophenol in N,N-dimethylacetamide.

The synthesis of 4-chloro-N-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-5-(3-(piperazin-1-yl)phenoxy)thiophene-2-sulfonamide (B-355252) using an MW-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr) reaction will be discussed. Utilization of this method allowed for the rapid generation of B-355252 heteroaryl ether core structure in the presence of cesium carbonate in dimethylformamide or tripotassium phosphate in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in 94% yield. Evaluation of B-355252 enhancement of nerve growth factor’s ability to stimulate neurite outgrowths was determined using NS-1 cells.

Synthesis,characterization, crystal and molecular structure analysis of a novel 1-benzhydryl piperazine derivative: 1-benzhydryl-4-(2-nitro-benzenesulfonyl)-piperazine

A novel 1-benzhydryl piperazine derivative 1-benzhydryl-4-(2-nitro-benzenesulfonyl)-piperazine was synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of 1-benzhydryl piperazine with 2-nitro-benzenesulfonyl chloride. The product obtained was characterized spectroscopically and finally confirmed by X-ray diffraction study. The title compound, C₂₃H₂₃N₃O₄S crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with cell parameters a = 13.1120(9) Å, b = 21.4990(9) Å, c = 16.655(1) Å, β = 111.352(2)°, Z = 8, and V = 4372.7(4) Å. The structure reveals that the piperazine ring is in a chair conformation. The geometry around the S atom is distorted tetrahedral. There is a large discrepancy in the bond angles around the piperazine N atoms. The structure is stablized by C–H···O type intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.     

Studies on New Additions to 5-Methoxy-2 (5H)-Furanone: 1, 4-Addition of Grignard Reagents, and 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Silyl Nitronates

Recently, much effort has been made in the development of generally applicable organic synthesis of 5-alkyloxy-2(5H)-furanones due to their essential structure entities in the synthesis of some biologically active natural products and their application as useful intermediates in organic synthesis1.

Synthesis of 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-methylamino-Cyclohexanone as a New Ketamine Derivative

The main goal of this article is to the present research on the development of ketamine derivatives. The target molecule was a fluoroderivative of ketamine, for which a multistep synthesis has been reported. This novel ketamine derivative, 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylamino-cyclohexanone, has been called fluoroketamine by our research group. The starting fluorobenzonitrile was reacted with the appropriate Grignard reagent followed by the bromination reaction to obtain α-bromocyclopentyl-(2-fluorophenyl)-ketone. The reaction of the obtained ketone with methylamine at ?40 °C then resulted in the formation of α-hydroxycyclopentyl-(2-flourophenyl)-N-methylamine. Finally, the five-memberd ring cyclopentanol was expanded to the cyclohexylketone by a thermal rearrangement reaction. The HCl salt of the target molecule, which is soluble in water, was obtained by the acidification of the free fluoroketamine with HCl. Preliminary animal tests on mice have shown that the resulting fluoroketamine has some advantages over ketamine in terms of the effective dose and the recovery time.     

Triphenylphosphine-Mediated Synthesis of the E/Z Isomers of Methyl 6-(1,2-Di(methoxycarbonyl))-8-(ethyl Carbamoylformyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylate

Triphenylphosphine-mediated reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with ethyl (2-hydroxyphenylcarbamoyl)formate in boiling toluene produces a mixture of methyl 8-(ethyl carbamylformyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylate and the E/Z isomers of methyl 6-(1,2-di(methoxycarbonyl)-8-(ethyl carbamoylformyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylate in moderate yields.     

Synthesis of highly isotactic poly(N,N‐diethylacrylamide) by anionic polymerization with grignard reagents and diethylzinc

N,N‐Dimethylacrylamide (DMA) and N,N‐diethylacrylamide (DEA) were polymerized with various Grignard reagents in tetrahydrofuran at −78 °C in the presence of diethylzinc (Et₂Zn). Highly isotactic poly(DEA) was produced in quantitative yield with tert‐butylmagnesium bromide and Et₂Zn, whereas atactic poly(DEA) was generated in the absence of Et₂Zn. No stereospecific polymerization of DMA proceeded with Grignard reagent in the presence of Et₂Zn. The highly isotactic poly(DEA) obtained was soluble in water and showed the characteristic coil–globule transition phenomenon. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis of (2E)-2-(tetrafluoroethylidene)-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole

The reaction of benzimidazoline-2-thione with perfluoro-2-methylpent-2-ene in the presence of triethylamine afforded (2E)-2-(tetrafluoroethylidene)-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole whose structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction pathways are discussed.     

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed domino reactions of 1,2-dihaloarenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates with Grignard reagents: efficient synthesis of substituted fluorenes

Pd(OAc)₂-catalyzed domino reactions of 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates with hindered Grignard reagents to form substituted fluorenes, which are believed to occur through palladium associated aryne intermediates, are described. Such palladium associated aryne reaction pathway was found to be favored by omitting the use of phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for palladium catalysts and with better leaving groups. Our study suggested that Pd(leaving group)X associated arynes should be formed first and the sp³ C-H activation preferentially occurred at benzylic C-(1°)H bonds. The work described here provides a high yield, one-step access to substituted fluorenes from readily available 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates and hindered Grignard reagents, and this substituted fluorene-making method may find applications in the preparation of substituted fluorene-containing molecules including polymers.
