Compounds capable of tautomerism: sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazole, its C-phenyl derivative, and the crystal hydrate of the latter, were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystals they exist in the form of 3-R-1(H),4(H)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione with a considerable contribution of the bipolar structure. Published data on the tautomerism of sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles and their N-substituted analogs and on the correlation between the spectral characteristics and structures of sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles capable of tautomerism are discussed.

N-Aryl-2-methyl-4-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-2,6-methano-1,3,5-benzoxadiazocine-11-carboxamides were synthesized by three-component reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanamides with salicylaldehyde and urea in ethanol in the presence of NaHSO₄ as catalyst.

2-, 3-, and 4-[5-(1-Aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]pyridines were synthesized from the corresponding 1-aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides and 2-, 3-, and 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-pyridines.     

Synthesis of 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides and 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides

The condensation of 3-hydroxyamino-3-methylbutan-2-one or 3-ethyl-3-hydroxyamino-pentan-2-one with aldehydes and ammonia afforded a series of new 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, whose oxidation gave rise to the corresponding 5-methyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxides. The latter, like 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, react with PrⁱONO in the presence of bases to form 4H-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides, which are transformed into 4H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides in the reaction with TsCl in the presence of Et₃N. The by-products produced in different steps of the synthesis were isolated and characterized. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reaction 5-(Arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with L-Proline and Aldehydes

Boiling in toluene of 5-(arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones with L-proline and aldehyde led to the formation of previously unknown substituted 1′-arylhexahydro-1H-spiro[pyrimidine-5,2′-pyrrolysine]-2,4,6(1H,3Н,5Н)-triones.     

Synthesis of new 4-amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivatives

Acylation and cyclization reactions of 4-amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol were studied. Acylation of the title compound with substituted benzoyl chlorides gave the corresponding amides, whereas its reactions with substituted benzoic acids in the presence of POCl3 were accompanied by cyclization with formation of triazolothiadiazoles containing a 1,4-benzodioxane substituent. 4-Amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol reacted with substituted benzaldehydes to afford the corresponding Schiff bases, and its alkylation with chloroacetic acid in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate gave S-ethoxycarbonylmethyl derivative.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.     

Condensation of 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran-4-one with arylglyoxals. Synthesis and properties of 2-aryl-1-(3-hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diones

N-Allyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides in reactions with polyphosphoric acid, with N-halosuccinimides in chloroform, and with (chlorosulfanyl)benzenes in nitromethane in the presence of lithium perchlorate underwent cyclization involving the N-allylamide fragment to give 4-[5-methyl(halomethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates, respectively. Analogous reactions of N-propargyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides with polyphosphoric acid afforded 4-(5-methyloxazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amines, and with (chlorosulfanyl) benzenes, 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates.

Ethyl 1-aryl-4-acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates reacted with phenylhydrazine to give the corresponding hydrazones, ethyl 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-[1-(phenylhydrazinylidene)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, which were converted to ethyl 1′-aryl-4-formyl-5′-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,1′H-3,4′-bipyrazole-3′-carboxylates by treatment with the Vilsmeier–Haack reagent. No indole derivatives were formed from the same hydrazones under the Fischer reaction conditions, but cyclization to 2-aryl-3,4-dimethyl-6-phenyl-2,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones was observed.

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with a coumarin fragment in position 2 of the oxazine ring were synthesized. Their hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrazinolysis afforded a number of new coumarin derivatives containing malonamic acid and 1,2,4-triazole residues. The low stability of the title compounds toward oxygencentered nucleophiles was interpreted by quantum chemical calculations.
