Functionalization of substituted 2(1H)- and 4(1H)-pyridones. III. The preparation of substituted 6-Vinyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo- and 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acids through the chemistry of pyridone dianions

The synthesis of various substituted 6-vinyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acids from the dianions of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile and the corresponding 3-t-butyl ester is reported. The dianions were generated with LDA in THF at low temperature and reacted with various carbonyl substrates. Several conditions for the dehydration and hydrolysis of these adducts to the vinyl pyridone acids are discussed. Employing the conditions used for the 2-pyridone analogs, a series of substituted 6-vinyl-1,4-di-hydro-4-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acids was prepared through the new dianion of 1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, t-butyl ester.     

Search of nature of planar chirality for pendent benzodiazacoronands in the solid state: NMR, X-ray, and DFT studies

In this work, we report the structural studies on the solid state of two benzodiazacoronads that form chiral and achiral crystals. Crystals have to be considered as a two-component system consisting of an organic unit and a water molecule in 1:1 ratio. Both components play an important role in the crystal structure. The strong (O-H...O, N-H...O) and weak (C-H...O) intermolecular hydrogen bonds are responsible for phase organization and, in consequence, formation of chiral or achiral crystals. The alignment of the water molecule with respect to the macrocycle is different for samples 1 and 2. Removal of water from the crystal lattice of 1 is reversible. Formation of chiral cocrystals from two different achiral molecules by self-assembly is well-known. However, in this paper, we show that the water molecule can be an important achiral cofactor responsible for chiral crystallization.     

An Ideal One-Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Spin System Observed in Hydrogen-Bonded Naphth[2,3-d]imidazol-2-yl Nitronyl Nitroxide Crystal: The Role of the Hydrogen Bond

A novel stable organic radical, 2-(naphth[2,3-d]imidazol-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxyl-3-oxide (4), has been designed, synthesized, and structurally characterized to examine the effects of ring extension on 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxyl-3-oxide (2). 4 forms four-centered intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and the hydrogen bonds are repeated along the c-axis to form a one-dimensional chain structure. This hydrogen-bonding motif contrasts that of 2, which forms three-centered intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The magnetic susceptibility measurement of 4 reveals that an antiferromagnetic interaction is dominant between spins, and the magnetic behavior is reproduced by the Bonner-Fisher model with J = -14 cm-1. Because each hydrogen-bonded chain is well isolated, a magnetic interaction pathway was thought to exist along the chain direction. Two interaction pathways have been assumed: (i) through-space interaction between the O atoms of the nitroxide and (ii) through the NH...ON intermolecular hydrogen bond. We have concluded that pathway (i) is predominant, by considering the identical magnetic data between the NH nondeuterated and deuterated samples. The hydrogen bond mainly has a role in crystal scaffolding.     

Molecular and crystal structure of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-3-carbonitrile and 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile

Single crystals of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-3-carbonitrile and 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile were prepared and submitted to X-ray diffraction analysis. Both compounds have a molecular structure belonging to the C₁ symmetry group. The heterocyclic rings are in a distorted envelope conformation. The crystals belong to the monoclinic system and each contain four molecules in the unit cell. In the crystal the pyridine derivative exists in the form of centrosymmetric dimers stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl group and the hydrogen atom at the nitrogen atom of the ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1620–1624, November, 2007.     

Asymmetric palladium-catalyzed annulation of benzene-1,2-diol and racemic secondary propargylic carbonates bearing two different substituents

The palladium-catalyzed cyclization of benzene-1,2-diol with various racemic secondary propargyl carbonates having no acetylenic hydrogen in the presence of (R)-Binap as the chiral ligand afforded the two regioisomers of the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-1,4-dioxin derivatives in quite good yields, and also in enantioselectivities going from 40 to 97%. The cyclization of benzene-1,2-diol with methyl (R)-1-methyl-3-phenylpro-2-yn-1-yl carbonate in the presence of dppb as the achiral ligand afforded 2-benzylidene-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxine as the major product with 15% ee. The use of (R)-Binap as the chiral ligand afforded the (+) cyclized compound in 45% ee, when the (−) enantiomer was obtained with 77% ee in the presence of (S)-Binap. All the results suggest that in this case the enantioselective step is the diastereoselective protonation of the palladium-carbene intermediates.     

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of a new nitronyl nitroxide NIT2-bithph and its manganese(II) compound [Mn(hfac)2(IMHBithph)]2·(NIT2-bithph)(C6H14)

A new nitronyl nitroxide NIT2-bithph (1) and its manganese(II) compound [Mn(hfac)₂(IMHBithph)]₂·(NIT2-bithph)(C₆H₁₄) (2) (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NIT2-bithph = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(bithiophenal-2-yl)imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide; IMHBithph = 1-hydroxy-2-bithiophenal-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro- 1H-imidazole) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. The units of compound 1 were connected as one-dimensional chain by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds which afford an intermolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between nitronyl nitroxide radicals within the chain (J = −1.89 cm⁻¹). Compound 2 resulting from the reaction of Mn(hfac)₂·2H₂O and NIT2-bithph is dinuclear and includes the reduced amidino-oxide form of NIT2-bithph, it is made up of three parts: a [Mn(hfac)₂(IMHBithph)]₂ dimer unit, an uncoordinated NIT2-bithph radical and a noncoordinated solvent molecule of hexane, the molecule of radical is hydrogen bonded to its reduced form. Two reduced IMHBithph ligands bridge the two manganese(II) ions through their amidino-oxide oxygen atoms resulting in a small intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between the manganese ions (J = −1.55 cm⁻¹).     

Reactions of 4-Methoxy-3-quinolinyl and 1,4-Dihydro-4-oxo-3-quino-linyl Sulfides Aiming at the Synthesis of 4-Chloro-3-Quinolinyl Sulfides

The preparation of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 3 or 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 4 by acid catalysed hydrolysis of 4-methoxy-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 1 or 4-methoxy-3-(alkylthio)-quinolines 2 is described. The reactions of 4-methoxy-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 1 or 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 3 with phosphoryl chloride in DMF afforded 4-chloro-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 5 . Treatment of the title compounds 1 or 3 with boiling phosphoryl chloride systems:leads to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 and thioquinanthrene but those of alkoxy- or oxo-quinolines 2 or 4 lead to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 . The reactions of N-methyl-4(1H)-quinolinones 3n and 4n with phosphoryl chloride directed to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 were studied as well.     

Structural, spectroscopic, and magnetic study of bis(9,10-dihydro-9-oxo-10-acridineacetate)bis(imidazole)bis(methanol) nickel(II)

The mixed ligand complex [Ni(CMA)2(im)2(MeOH)2] (where CMA = 9,10-dihydro-9-oxo-10-acridineacetate ion, im = imidazole) was prepared, and its crystal and molecular structure were determined. The nickel ions are hexa-coordinated by four oxygen atoms of the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups and by two imidazole nitrogen atoms, to form a distorted octahedral arrangement. The structure consists of a one-dimensional network of the complex molecules connected by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The weak intermolecular C-H...X hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions make up the 2-D structure. Very strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds significantly affect the geometry and vibrational characteristics of the carboxylate group. The UV-vis-NIR electronic spectrum was deconvoluted into Gaussian components. Electronic bands of the Ni(II) ion were assigned to suitable spin-allowed transitions in the D4h symmetry environment. The single ion zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters for the S = 1 state of Ni(II), as well as the g components, have been determined by high-field and high-frequency EPR (HF-HFEPR) spectroscopy over the frequency range of 52-432 GHz and with the magnetic fields up to 14.5 T: D = 5.77(1) cm-1, E = 1.636(2) cm-1, gx = 2.29(1), gy = 2.18(1), and gz = 2.13(1). These values allowed us to simulate the powder magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetization of the complex.     

Simple methods to synthesize 2-pyridones: reactions of 2-aroyl-3,3-bis(alkylsulfanyl)acrylaldehydes and cyanoacetamide

5-Aroyl-6-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-pyridinecarbonitriles and 5-aroyl-4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-pyridinecarbonitriles are synthesized effectively by the reaction of 2-aroyl-3,3-bis(alkylsulfanyl)acrylaldehydes and cyanoacetamide under two different conditions.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of 1,2-Benzothiazine Derivatives:An Experimental and DFT Study

1,2-Benzothiazine derivatives methyl 3-methoxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e] [1,2]thiazine-3-carboxylate 1,1-dioxide(1) and methyl 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2Hbenzo[e][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxylate 1,1-dioxide(2) were synthesized, and characterized by spectroscopic techniques; 1H-NMR and infrared(IR) spectroscopy. Crystals of 1 and 2 were grown by slow evaporation of methanol and ethyl acetate, respectively and their crystal structures were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Geometric properties were calculated by the B3 LYP method of density functional theory(DFT) at the 6-31G+(d) basis set to compare with the experimental data. Simulated properties were found in strong agreement with the experimental ones. Intermolecular forces have also been modeled in order to investigate the strength of packing and strong hydrogen bonding was observed in both compounds 1 and 2. Electronic properties such as Ionization Potential(IP), Electron Affinities(EA) and coefficients of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO) of com- pounds 1 and 2 were simulated for the first time.     

A novel,C2-symmetric,chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin tridentate ligand in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions

A C₂-symmetric, chiral bis-cyclosulfinamide-olefin ligand composed of two 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzisothiazole moieties with rigid skeletons and a conformationally flexible butenylene chain is disclosed for the first time. HRMS and ¹H NMR analyses verify that the in situ-generated complex of the ligand and [Rh(C₂H₄)₂Cl]₂ possesses a rhodium (I) center coordinated to the tridentate ligand via two sulfinyl moieties and a CdbndC bond. The chiral ligand provided extremely high enantioselectivity (up to >99%ee) in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone. The tridentate ligand gave much higher enantioselectivity than the analogous chiral bidentate ligands.     

A new method for the synthesis of novel 1-aryl-3-heteroaryl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxalines

The reaction of 3-(2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-3-thioxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline 4 with o-chlorobenzenediazonium chloride gave 3-[α-(o-chlorophenylhydrazono)-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-3-thioxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylmethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 6 , whose refluxing in phosphoryl chloride/pyridine afforded 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-3-thioxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 7. The reactions of 6 and 7 with nitrous acid resulted in sulfur extrusion to provide 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 8 and 3-[α-(o-chlorophenylhydrazono)-4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylraethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 9 , respectively.     

Synthesis, curing kinetics and thermal properties of novel difunctional chiral and achiral benzoxazines with double chiral centers

Novel difunctional chiral and achiral benzoxazine monomers were synthesized from the reaction of bisphenol A with paraformaldehyde and primary amines, including S-(+)-3-methyl-2-butylamine and rac-(±)-3-methyl-2-butylamine, by solventless method. The chemical structures of chiral and achiral benzoxazines were identified by fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR). The curing behavior and non-isothermal curing kinetics of chiral and achiral benzoxazine monomers were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Isoconversional methods based on Friedman and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose were applied to analyze the curing process of chiral and achiral benzoxazines. The thermal properties of cured polymers were characterized by DSC and thermogravimetry. The results suggested that the optical purity and stereo-configuration for chiral and achiral benzoxazines have definite influence on curing behavior and thermal properties despite the same chemical structure. Chiral benzoxazine displayed typical characteristics of difunctional benzoxazines. Achiral benzoxazine showed distinctly double peaks in DSC exotherms due to the presence of racemic and mesomeric isomers. The thermal properties of achiral polybenzoxazine were slightly higher than those of chiral polybenzoxazine, and were much higher than those of other bisphenol A-C₃–C₈ linear aliphatic amine-based polybenzoxazines because of tight packing, low free volume, and abundant intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in network structure of polymers.     

Cyclopropanation of 2-arylmethylidenemalononitriles,alkyl 3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enoates,and N-substituted 3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enamides with bromine-containing zinc enolates

Zinc enolates derived from 2,2-dibromoindan-1-one and 2,2-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one reacted with 2-arylmethylidenemalononitriles, alkyl 3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enoates, and N-substituted 3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enamides to give, respectively, 3-aryl-1′-oxo-1′,3′-dihydrospiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-indene]-2-2-dicarbonitriles, 3-aryl-1′-oxo-3′,4′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-naphthalene]-2,2-dicarbonitriles, alkyl 3-aryl-2-cyano-1′-oxo-1′,3′-dihydrospiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-indene]-2-carboxylates, alkyl 3-aryl-2-cyano-1′-oxo-3′,4′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-naphthalene]-2-carboxylates, and N-substituted 3-aryl-2-cyanol-1′-oxo-3′,4′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-naphthalene]-2-carboxamides as a single diastereoisomer. The stereoconfiguration of the products was determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Design of novel podand-like compounds with two short diphenylphosphine oxide pendant arms

Crystal and molecular structure of 1,3,5-benzenetris(methylenediphenylphosphine oxide) cyclohexylammonium chloride dibenzene solvate monohydrate has been determined. The overall arrangement of two diphenylphosphine oxide substituents atoms is imposed by intermolecular strong hydrogen bonds, O_(water) H···O_(oxide) and N H···O_{(oxide, water)}. Cyclohexylamine exists in almost ideal chair conformation and nitrogen atom is equatorial to the ring. The structure is build up from strong and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form the three-dimensional infinite hydrogen bond network. Crystal and molecular structure of 1,4-bis[(diphenylphosphineoxide)methyl] - 2,5 - bis (ethoxymethyl) benzene has been determined. The phenyl rings are inclined at 80.91(7)° within the substituent, and they are involved in weak C_(phenyl) H···O_(oxide) hydrogen bonds. The arrangement of diphenylphosphine oxide substituents is imposed practically only by steric effects. Two intramolecular weak hydrogen bonds exist between diphenylphosphine oxide and ethoxymethyl substituents, which can provide additional stabilization to molecule, but it has no noticeable influence on overall molecule geometry. Molecules are assembled via weak intermolecular C H···O_(oxide) hydrogen bonds to the one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain along y axis. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of saterinone enantiomers in plasma samples with an internal standard using a Chiralcel OD column, fractionation and reversed-phase chromatography

A specific and validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of the S-(-) and R-(+) enantiomers of saterinone. 1-[(4-cyano-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxopyridin-5-yl)phenoxyl] -3-[4-(2- methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propan-2-ol, in plasma at the low ng/ml level. The enantiomers of saterinone and an internal standard, 1-[(4-cyano-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-pyridin-5-yl)phenoxy]-3-[4-(2- ethoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propan-2-ol, were chromatographed on a chiral Chiralcel OD stationary phase. However, the S-(-) enantiomers of saterinone and the internal standard were unresolved, as were the R-(+) enantiomers of both substances. Therefore, the two fractions were collected and each was separately resolved on an achiral Polyencap A reversed-phase column and quantified. The detection limit was 0.5 ng/ml of enantiomer, allowing the determination of plasma levels up to 36 h after oral administration of 90, 150 and 180 mg of saterinone to twelve subjects.

Generation of NH-azomethine imine intermediates through the 1,2-hydrogen shift of hydrazones and their intermolecular cycloaddition reaction with olefinic dipolarophiles

The thermal 1,2-hydrogen shift of the hydrazone generates the NH-azomethine imine intermediate in the 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carbaldehyde system under mild conditions. Therein, the resulting NH-azomethine imine should be stabilized by forming an internal hydrogen bond with the carbonyl oxygen at the 4-position. Its smooth stereoselective intermolecular cycloaddition reaction with olefinic dipolarophiles giving pyrazolidine derivatives is discussed.
