A controlled-oxidation synthesis of substituted aryl 1-methyl-4-nitro-5-imidazolyl sulfones

Aryl imidazolyl sulfones bearing pendant hemisuccinamido groups for conjugation to biopolymer transport systems were synthesized from sulfide precursors. The peroxide-effected oxidation at sulfur was invariably accompanied by some cleavage-oxidation of the carboxamido groups to nitro functionalities, a process which could be minimized by careful control of the reaction conditions.     

Synthesis of 1-halophenyl 4-(2-imidazolyl)-1-butanones and 5-(2-imidazolyl)-1-pentanones and their ketalization with glycerol

An alternate synthesis of 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-(2-imidazolyl)-1-butanones 5d is presented after 1-[(dimethylamino)methyl- and 1-methyl]-2-lithioimidazole failed to be substituted satisfactorily by 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(3-iodopropyl)-1,3-dioxolane ( 3b ). The Pinner addition of ethanol to 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(3-cyanopropyl)-1,3-dioxolane yielded the corresponding imidate which was reacted with 1-amino-2,2-dimethoxyethane to form an amidine. Hot dilute hydrochloric acid converted this ami-dine to the 2-imidazolyl ketone 5b . Syntheses of homologous 1-(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-(2-imidazolyl)-1-pentanones 20 are described. Ketalizations of 5 and 20 with glycerol formed imidazolyl 1,3-dioxolanyl alcohols. Selective N- and O-alkylations of some of these imidazolyl alcohols are described.     

Aryl 2-thienyl sulfides and aryl 2-thienyl sulfones

A method was developed for the synthesis of the previously unknown aryl 2-thienyl sulfides; the method is based on the reaction of 2-chlorothiophene and its derivatives with thiophenols in the gas phase at 450–500°C. The synthesized sulfides were oxidized to the corresponding aryl 2-thienyl sulfones, which were also previously unknown. 2,5-Dichlorothiophene reacts with excess thiophenol to give 2,5-bis(phenylthio)thiophene, which is oxidized to the corresponding disulfone.     

Synthesis of aryl 2-(2-imidazolyl)ethyl ketones

The Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 1-(triphenylmethyl)-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde with acetophenones yielded 1-aryl-3-[1-(triphenylmethyl)-2-imidazolyl]propen-1-ones 7 . Selective catalytic hydrogenation over platinum of 7 furnished 1-aryl-3-(2-imidazolyl)-1-propanones 8 . An alternate synthesis of 8 started with sodium borohydride reduction of 7 to give allylic alcohols, 1-aryl-3-[1-(triphenylmethyl)-2-imidazolyl]-2-propen-1-ols 10 , which were rearranged by hot aqueous sodium to 8 . Acid hydrolysis of 8 provided the title compounds and triphenylmethanol.     

A facile one-pot preparation of 2-methyl-and 2-phenyl-4- fluoro-5-trifluoromethyl-6-methoxypyrimidine from methyl 2-hydryl-2-(F-methyl)-F-propyl ether

The title compounds were readily prepared in one-pot by phase-transfer reaction of a methanol adduct of 2-($\text{F}$-methyl)-$\text{F}$- propene with acetamidine or benzamidine in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide in CH₂Cl₂. Various 5-trifluoromethyl- pyrimidines were also synthesized $\text{via}$ nucleophilic substitution of the 4-fluorine of the title compounds.     

Design, synthesis and antifibrotic activities of carbohydrate-modified 1-(substituted aryl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2(1H) pyridones

Pirfenidone, a pyridone compound, is an effective and novel antifibrotic agent. In this article, we describe the design, synthesis and activity evaluation of novel antifibrotic agents, 1-(substituted aryl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2(1H) pyridones modified with carbohydrate. Most of the title compounds exhibited comparable or better inhibitory activity than fluorofenidone. Notably, compound 19a demonstrated the highest cell-based inhibitory activity against NIH 3T3 (IC(50) = 0.17 mM).     

Synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl-1(substituted aryl)-4(1H)-quinolones using trifluoroacetamidoyl chlorides

A simple two-step procedure for the preparation of 2-trifluoromethyl-1(substituted aryl)-4(1H)-quinolones utilizing electrophilic trifluoroacetamidoyl chlorides as the starting materials is described. The cyclization of trifluoromethyl enaminone intermediates with potassium carbonate in hot dimethylformamide produce the trifluoromethylated 4(1H)-quinolones in good to excellent yields.     

Synthesis of aryl 3-(2-imidazolyl)propyl ketones

The approach to the title compounds was via lithiation-substitution of N-methyl or N-(triphenylmethyl)-imidazole by some iodo ketals. 4-Chloro-4′-halobutyrophenones (halo = F, Cl, Br) were converted by sodium iodide to the corresponding aliphatic iodides which were subsequently ketalized with ethylene glycol to provide the corresponding iodo ketals. Lithiation of either 1-methyl- or 1-(triphenylmethyl)imid-azole with N-butyllithium generated the corresponding 2-lithioimidazoles, in situ, which were then reacted with these iodo ketals to form the corresponding C-2 substituted imidazoles. Dilute aqueous acid hydrolysis released the ketone from the ketal. For N-triphenylmethyl protected imidazoles, the triphenylmethyl group was also hydrolyzed to give triphenylmethanol and 3-(2-imidazolyl)propyl 4-haloaryl ketones. These N-unsubstituted imidazolyl ketones can be alkylated independently with triphenylmethyl chloride to form the corresponding N-triphenylmethyl imidazole derivatives.     

Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-(2-furyl)- and 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-(2-thienyl)imidazoles

2-Phenyl-5-(2-furyl)- and 2-phenyl-5-(2-thienyl)imidazoles were synthesized by condensation of 2-furoylmethyl and 2-thenoylmethyl acetates with benzaldehyde under the conditions of Weidenhagen reaction. The products were converted to N-methyl derivatives in the KOH-acetone system. The electrophilic substitution reactions of the products (acylation, bromination, nitration, sulfonation, hydroxymethylation) were studied.     

The Synthesis of 2-Amino-4-(4-imidazolyl)pyridines

A general synthetic scheme for the preparation of 2-amino-4,(4-imidazolyl)pyridines, potential histamine H₂ antagonists, is described. The synthesis is based on the Neber rearrangement of l,(4-pyridyl)l-alkanone oxime 0-tosylates to the appropriate α-aminoketones or α-aminoketals, which are then converted to the corresponding imidazoles. The reaction of Grignard reagents with 2-chloroisonicotinonitrile, as well as nucleophilic displacement of chloride by amines on 2-chloroisonicotinonitrile and derivatives, are discussed in relation to the preparation of the ketone intermediates.     

An unusual chlorination of 1-phenyl-4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-butadiene

The diene $\text{1a}$ reacted with CHCl₃/aq. NaOH/PTC in CH₂ Cl₂ unexpectedly to give a mixture of the chlorination products $\text{2}$ and $\text{3a}$. Usual chlorination with Cl₂ yielded similarly $\text{2}$, $\text{3a}$, and $\text{3b}$ dependent on the amount of Cl₂. The formation of $\text{2}$ as well as the reaction of $\text{7}$ to give $\text{9}$ (besides $\text{8}$) shows an unusual Cl-Cl-interaction.     

Dipole moments and conformations of 2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl alkyl(aryl) sulfides

Conclusions Study of the 2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl akyl sulfides has shown that these compounds exist as equilibrated mixtures of structures with trans- and gauche-oriented C-Py and C-S fragments, the content of the first making up 0.6–0.7 fraction of the whole.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR.
