Synthesis of pyrroloquinolines from 2,3-dimethyl-5-methoxy-6-aminoindole

Formation of enaminoketones, enaminocrotonate, and aminomethylenemalonate from 2,3-dimethyl-5-methoxy-6-aminoindole occurs significantly less easily than for the 7-methoxy analog. A similar dependence is observed in the reaction of enamines to the corresponding pyrroloquinolines independently of the cyclization conditions.M. E.

Reactions of regioisomeric 3,3-dimethyl- and 2,2-dimethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-4-pyrones with N-nucleophiles

The Synthesis of 3-Acyl-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-thiazoles

Acylation of 2,5-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-thiazoles leads to 3-acyl-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-thiazoles as potential starting materials for the total synthesis of racemic cephalosporins.     

First direct detection of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylcyclopropanone

3,5-dihydro-3,5-dialkyl-3,5-diaryl-4H-pyrazol-4-ones stimulate interest as potential precursors for 2,3-diarylcyclopropanones. Photoreactions of trans-3,5-dihydro-3,5-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-4H-pyrazol-4-one were studied by continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed laser UV photolysis revealing an intermediate that undergoes rearrangement to form cis- and trans-1,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-2-indanones with the yield of ca. 60%. Steady-state photolysis (254 and 350 nm excitation) in different solvents produced an intermediate cyclohexadiene as evidenced by UV/vis, IR, and 1H NMR spectra. In contrast, the nanosecond laser pulsed photolysis at 355 nm produced 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylcyclopropanone along with two products of retro-1,3-dipolar addition phenylmethylketene and 1-phenyldiazoethane. These can be observed by time-resolved IR (TRIR) spectroscopy as characteristic absorption bands at 1814, 2101, and 2038 cm-1, respectively. Similar retro-1,3-dipolar addition showed 1-phenyldiazoethane formed following flash photolysis of 1-pyrazoline (trans-4,5-dihydro-3,5-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-3H-pyrazol-4-ol). The formation of the corresponding cyclopropanone as well the products of retro-1,3-dipolar addition during photoreaction of starting pyrazol-4-one is directly confirmed by the nanosecond TRIR spectroscopy for the first time. On the basis of the CW and pulsed laser UV photolysis, a dynamic equilibrium between cyclopropanone and intermediate 2,4-diphenyl-3-pentanone-2,4-diyl (dimethyldiphenyloxyallyl) was proposed.     

Terahertz spectroscopy of the explosive taggant 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane

The terahertz spectrum of the crystalline explosive taggant 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (C(6)H(12)N(2)O(4)) has been investigated as an alternative means of detecting solid-state explosives. The room-temperature spectrum exhibits two broad absorption features centered at 38.3 and 49.2 cm(-1). Once the sample is cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperatures, the resolution of three additional peaks occurs, with absorption maxima now appearing at 40.1, 47.5, 56.6, 63.9, and 73.6 cm(-1). Solid-state density functional theory simulations, both with and without London force dispersion corrections, have been used for the assignment of the experimental cryogenic THz spectrum to specific molecular motions in the crystalline solid. The B3LYP hybrid density functional paired with the 6-311G(2d,2p) basis set provides an excellent reproduction of the experimental data revealing that the THz spectrum arises from a mixture of intramolecular torsional vibrations localized primarily in the nitro groups and intermolecular lattice vibrations composed of rigid molecular rotations.     

Reaction of dichlorocarbene with 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-oxathiin and 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-dithiin

Dichlorocarbene, generated from ethyl trichloroacetate and sodium ethoxide, reacts with 2,3-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-oxathiin to give 7,7-dichloro-1,6-dimethyl-2-oxa-5-thiabicyclo[4,1,0]heptane, and with 2,3-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin to give 6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-7-methyl 5-methylene-5(H)-1,4-dithiepin. Both products were oxidised to the corresponding sulfone.     

Synthesis and reactions of 6-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxane

The reaction of hydroquinone and acetaldehyde in a mixture of acetic and hydrochloric acids (31) at 0–5 °C gives 6-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxane, which forms ethers and esters at the hydroxy group, undergoes diazo coupling, and, under the influence of acids, undergoes polycondensation with opening of the 1,3-dioxane ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1195–1198, September, 1983.     

Identification of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diisobutyl succinonitrile in laser printer emissions

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-diisobutyl succinonitrile was identified as the main volatile organic compound (>90%) emitted from laser printers during the printing process. Experiments were carried out in a large environmental chamber of 30 m3, where the printers were placed and working simulating 'real office setting' conditions. Air samples were taken on Tenax TA adsorbent cartridges in the vicinity of the printers and further analyzed by thermal desorption gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TDGC/MS). The structure of the compound has been determined and is presented in this study. Additional data obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) support the proposed structure, with no reported CAS number, as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diisobutyl succinonitrile. It is a byproduct of the thermal decomposition of 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile), a commercially available free radical polymerization initiator used in polymerization processes during the manufacture of the toners. By means of head-space GC/MS, 15 toners used in black & white and colour printers have been investigated. Six of them contained 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diisobutyl succinonitrile, which has also been detected in the respective processed paper.     

Synthesis of 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine

The Claisen condensation of ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate with ethyl acetate gave ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylnicotinoylacetate, which was converted to 3-bromo-acetyl-6-niethyl-2-pyridone by heating with bromine in 48% hydrobromic acid. The cyclization of the bromoacetylpyridone by the action of silver oxide in methanol gave 3-oxo-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine, which was reduced to 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine with lithium aluminum hydride in dimethoxyethane. Acetylation of the latter gave its acetate, the pyrolysis of which in vacuo gave 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]-pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1544–1546, November, 1972.

Synthesis and properties of 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-4-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids and their derivatives

Acetylation of 2-arylamino-5-carbethoxy-6-methylnicotinonitriles gave N-acetyl-2-arylamino-5-carbethoxy-6-methylnicotinonitriles, which, under the influence of hydrogen chloride, are cyclized to 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-6-carbethoxy-2,7-dimethyl-4-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The latter can be converted to the corresponding carboxylic and hydroxamic acids, as well as to acetylation products 1-aryl-2-acetonyl-1,4-dihydro-6-carbethoxy-7-methyl-4-oxopyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 535–539, April, 1992.
