1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives

The reactions of arylnitrile oxides 2 and 2-diazopropane 5 with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives 1 have been studied. 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives is taking place regiospecifically. The asymmetric induction expected by the chiral centre of the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives was very effective, diastereoisomers 3 and 4 were formed in an approximate 90:10 ratio. The stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the 2-diazopropane with the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives are investigated. The attack of the 1,3-dipole occurred from the less hindered face of the dipolarophile, giving the isomer 6.     

Reactions of 5-(6-Methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with Electrophiles

 Treatment of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with haloalkanes yielded oxadiazole S-alkyl derivatives, whereas its reaction with formaldehyde and amines resulted in formation of oxadiazole N(3)-aminomethyl derivatives. The alkylation of 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with methyl bromoacetate proceeded at the N(1)-position of pyrimidine to give 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(1-methoxycarbonylmethyl-6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles, whereas aminomethylation, bromination, or nitration took place at position 5 of pyrimidine ring and afforded the corresponding 5-pyrimidine substituted derivatives.     

Reactions of 3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazole

The reactions of 3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-, and 3-methyl-1,6-diphenyl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles with guanidine and benzo- and 3- and 4-pyridinecarbamidines gave the corresponding 8-substituted 1-methyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-and 1-methyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[5,4-h]quinazolines. With acetic anhydride the same indazole derivatives gave the 4-acetoxy-5-formyl derivatives, and with hydroxylamine they gave4-chloro-5-hydroxyiminomethyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles. Thereactionof4-acetoxyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazole with hydroxylamine gave 8-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[5,4-e]indazole, while dehydration of 5-hydroxyiminomethyl-3-methyl-4-chloro-6,7-dihydroindazole gave the 4-chloro-5-cyano derivative. The reaction of the latter with nucleophilic reagents was investigated.Riga Technical University, Riga, Latvia LV-1658.

Reactions of 5-(6-Methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with Electrophiles

Summary.  Treatment of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with haloalkanes yielded oxadiazole S-alkyl derivatives, whereas its reaction with formaldehyde and amines resulted in formation of oxadiazole N(3)-aminomethyl derivatives. The alkylation of 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with methyl bromoacetate proceeded at the N(1)-position of pyrimidine to give 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(1-methoxycarbonylmethyl-6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles, whereas aminomethylation, bromination, or nitration took place at position 5 of pyrimidine ring and afforded the corresponding 5-pyrimidine substituted derivatives.

Synthesis of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran derivatives

A number of 2-.carbethoxy-3-methylbenzofuran derivatives were synthesized. A 5,5-gem-dibromo derivative was obtained in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-oxo-4, 5,6,7,tetrahydrobenzofuran. Dehydrobromination of this, dibromo derivative gave 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-bromobenzofuran. Depending on the structure of the starting compound and the brominating agent, the bromine in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy- and 4-acetoxybenzofurans with bromine and N-bromosuccinimide is incorporated either in the methyl group or in 5 and 7 positions of the benzofuran ring. The nitration of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran and its bromo derivative leads to 5-nitro- and 5,7-dinitrobenzofuran derivatives. The structures of the synthesized benzofuran derivatives were established by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 27–29, January, 1980.     

Preparation of twelve 1-methyl-2-formyl-5-substituted pyrroles and their hydrazones

Preparation of twelve 1-methyl-2-formyl-5-substituted pyrroles (2a-1), with five of them as new compounds, is described. Their derivatives, i.e., 1-methyl-2-formyl-5-substituted pyrrole phenyl hydrazones (3a-1) and 1-methyl-2-formyl-5-substituted pyrrole (4-nitrophenyl) hydrazones (4a-1) are all new compounds.

Comprehensive Comparisons between 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones, 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones and 1-(2-Naphthyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones as Labeling Reagents Used in LC-DAD-ESI-MS-MS Analysis of Neutral Aldoses and Uronic Acids

Comprehensive comparisons between three 1-aryl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (AMP) labeling reagents were carried out for the analysis of reductive monosaccharides using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography diode array detection coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. AMP derivatives included 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP), 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMPMP) and 1-(2-naphthyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (NMP). The separation of AMP-monosaccharides was found to be pH-dependent under reversed phase conditions and acceptable separations were obtained at pH < 4.5. The elution orders of AMP-aldoses were rationalized by geometric factors involved in the presence of hydroxyl groups at C2 and C3 positions of the saccharide moiety. When PMP or PMPMP were used as labeling agents Glucose and galactose were completely separated, while arabinose and xylose were observed to co-elute. The use of NMP revealed that arabinose and xylose could be separated while glucose and galactose were co-eluted. MS-MS data of AMP-monosaccharides gave characteristic fragment ions resulting from cleavage between the C2–C3 bond (m/z 373 for PMP derivatives, m/z 433 for PMPMP derivatives, and m/z 473 for NMP derivatives). Bond breakage between C1–C2 (m/z 359 for PMP derivatives, m/z 419 for PMPMP derivatives, and m/z 459 for NMP derivatives) of the saccharide moiety was also found to be characteristic for AMP-saccharides. Application to the analysis of hydrolyzed rape pollen polysaccharides revealed the presence of four unexpected monosaccharides, namely ribose, erythrose, threose and glyceraldehyde.

Synthesis and reactions of 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles

The Vilsmeier formylation of 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole and its 6-phenyl derivative gives 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles. Reactions of these derivatives with different N- and C-nucleophilic agents, including bisnucleophiles, were studied as a means of obtaining new 4- and 5-functional derivatives of indazole and its condensed systems.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia.

2-Amino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

The structures of 2-amino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thia­diazo­le, C₃H₅N₃S, and 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thia­diazo­le, C₄H₇N₃S, have been determined for comparison with unsubstituted 2-amino-1,3,4-thia­diazo­le. Despite their different space groups (P2₁/n and Pbca, respectively), the packing modes of the methyl and ethyl derivatives are similar, with comparable three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding associations. This is in contrast to the hydrogen-bonding network in 2-amino-1,3,4-thia­diazo­le, which is one-dimensional and has denser packing. It is shown that both packing forms are different polymorphs of a specific subunit of each array.     

New approach to the formation of azepine ring: Synthesis of 2-methyl-6-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-3H-azepine from 2-methyl-5-propargylthiophene and isothiocyanate

The first representative of thienyl-substituted 3H-azepines has been synthesized starting from dilithiated 2-methyl-5-propargylthiophene and isopropyl isothiocyanate. It was shown that N-(1-methylethylidene)-2-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-1-(methylthio)-1,3-butadiene-1-amine (2-aza-1,3,5-triene) formed as a result of this reaction is readily converted into 2-methyl-6-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-3H-azepine under the action of super bases.

Fluorimetric determination of titanium with 2-methyl-3-ethyl-5-hydroxychromone

Titanium reacts with 5-hydroxychromone and eleven of its derivatives to form water-insoluble yellow complexes, which exhibit yellow-green fluorescence on extraction into carbon tetrachloride. An investigation of the substituent effect on the fluorescence intensity of the titanium complexes of these reagents showed that the best fluorescent reagent for the determination of titanium is 2-methyl-3-ethyl-5-hydroxychromone. The maximum wavelengths of the excitation and emission spectra of 2-methyl-3-ethyl-5-hydroxychromone complex are 395 nm and 513 nm, respectively. The titanium complex shows constant fluorescence intensity when extracted from a solution of pH 6.5–8.5. When extraction is done with 10ml of carbon tetrachloride, 0.5–5.0 μg of titanium can be determined. The effects of diverse ions and of substituent position in the reagents are discussed.     

Synthesis and reactions of 4-isopropylidene-1-aryl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones

The reactions of 4-isopropylidene-1-aryl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones 4a-d were investigated under a variety of conditions. In the presence of thiols or piperidine, 4a-d failed to yield conjugate addition products, presumably due to the steric bulk provided by the two methyl substituents of the isopropylidene side chain. Reaction of 4a-d with hydrazine derivatives gave the 1-aryl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones 3a-d and isopropyl-hydrazones. Treatment of 4a with potassium cyanide yielded a stable conjugate addition product which exists as a mixture of tautomers in different solvents. Also, oxidation of 4a with hydrogen peroxide gave a spiroepoxide 22 , while m-chloroperbenzoic acid oxidation afforded both the spiroepoxide 22 , and a small quantity of a hydroxyspiroepoxide 23.

Oxidation of compound 2 with chromic acid in acetic acid gave 2-acetyl-1-methyl-5-nitrobenzimidazole ( 3 ). Reaction of compound 3 with substituted 2-aminobenzaldehyde ( 4 ) under basic conditions yielded substituted 2-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-benzimidazolyl)quinolines ( 5 ). Condensation and cyclization of o-aminoacetophenone (or substituted o-aminobenzophenones) with compound 3 under acetic condition afforded compound 7 . Condensation and cyclization of compound 1 with indole-3-carboxaldehyde ( 11 ) in ethanol in the presence of excess nitrobenzene gave 3-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-benzimidazolyl)indole ( 12 ).

Preparation of 5-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one and 3-Cyano-5-methoxy-4-methyl-5H-furan-2-one via a One-Pot,Domino-Knoevenagel Process

5-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1) has been prepared via a simple one-pot domino-Knoevenagel reaction starting from ethyl acetoacetate (2) and cyanoacetone (3). Similarly, a new racemic 3-cyano-5-methoxy-4-methyl-5H-furan-2-one (7) has been prepared from 1,1-dimethoxyacetone (6) and cyanoacetic acid (4). The new alkylidene derivatives (Z/E)-ethyl-4-cyano-3-methylbut-3-enoate (5), (Z/E)-ethyl 5-amino-4-cyano-3-methyl-5-oxopent-3-enoate (9), and (2,2-dimethoxy-1-methylethylidene)malononitrile (11) have been prepared via the Knoevenagel reactions. The easy access to these new compounds in good yields shows that ammonium acetate/acetic acid–catalyzed Knoevenagel reactions and domino-Knoevenagel reactions have a broad scope of application.
