A NOVEL SYNTHETIC APPROACH TO 4-SUBSTITUTED QUINAZOLINES

Abstract

A novel two-step synthetic method to prepare 4-(thienyl)quinazolines (8a and 8b) is described. The method is based on the simultaneous reductive cyclization of a nitro group β to the carbonyl group in ketones under Leuckart reaction conditions. The method has been found useful for the syntheses of the 4-substituted quinazolines.     

Cu(II), Ni(II), and Hg(II) thiocyanate complexes incorporating 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one: synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,X-ray studies,and magnetic properties

This article presents a combined experimental and computational study of the complexes [Cu(dafone)₂(SCN)₂] (1), [Ni(dafone)₂(SCN)₂] (2) and [Hg(dafone)(SCN)₂] (3), where dafone stands for 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one. The compounds have been studied by IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The electronic structures of these complexes have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed electronic transitions of 1, 2, and 3 have been calculated with the time-dependent DFT method, and their UV–Vis spectra have been discussed on this basis.     

Synthesis and characterization of some new 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole triterpene derivatives from allobetulone and 2-oxoallobetulin

Abstract

The synthesis of new 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives from triterpenoid ketones has been investigated via the corresponding semicarbazones. The intermediates 5, 8 have also been isolated, separated and their structures identified. The Hurd–Mori reaction and Lalezari method have been applied to synthesize a series of new substances 6 and 7. The regioselectivity of the functionalization mostly was centered at the C-3 position for the products 9 and 10. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by 2D-NMR spectroscopy.     

The Unit-Subduced-Cycle-Index Methods and the Characteristic-Monomial Method. Their Relationship as Group-Theoretical Tools for Chemical Combinatorics

Among the four methods of the unit-subduced-cycle-index (USCI) approach, the subduced-cycle-index (SCI) method and the partial-cycle-index (PCI) method have been discussed by using adamantane of T _d -symmetry as a probe for enumeration problems, where USCIs are derived on the basis of permutaion representations, coset representations (CRs) and marks. After the examination of the SCIs and PCIs, Pólya's theorem that is a standard method of chemical combinatorics has been derived from the USCI approach. As another approach, a new method called the characteristic-monomial (CM) method has been developed by virtue of charactereistic monomials (CMs). The CMs have been derived from Q-conjugacy representations and Q-conjugacy characters, which have been related to irreducible representations and irreducible characters of the standard repertoire of chemical group theory. The two approaches have been compared to discuss group-theoretical tools for chemical combinatorics on a common basis.

Application of the Cleavable Isocyanide in Efficient Approach to Pyroglutamic Acid Analogues with Potential Biological Activity

Two efficient procedures have been developed for the synthesis of pyroglutamic acid analogues 28, 29, and 34. According to the first method the Ugi (4C3C) reaction is followed by a post-transformation reaction, and the second method involves the Michael addition reaction. The present methodologies demonstrate the applicability of 1-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-2-isocyanobenzene (15) as a cleavable isocyanide in the Ugi/ post-transformation reaction and a strong nucleophile in the Michael addition reaction. The framework of pyroglutamic acid analogues has been constructed by the selective cleavage of the C-terminal amide bond and nucleophilic addition to the activated α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group.

N-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinylimidazole 1 and its hydroxyethyl derivative 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)imidazolium chloride 2 have been synthesized and characterized. The attempted synthesis of bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium complexes via the direct reaction of 2 with Pd(OAc)₂ results in the unexpected formation of a bis(N-arylimidazole) palladium complex 3. Additionally, the analogous bis(N-methylimidazole) palladium complex 4 has also been synthesized by the above method. Compounds 1–4 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and ¹H NMR. Additionally, their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Complexes 3 and 4 were found to be efficient catalysts for the Suzuki reaction.

Pyrolysis of Amino Acid Derived Stabilised Ylides as a Route to Chiral Acetylenic Amines and Amino Acids and Gaba Analogues

Abstract

We recently reported the pyrolysis of stabilised ylides as a method for overall conversion of carboxylic acids to homologous acetylenic esters and terminal alkynes.^1,2 This has now been applied successfully to amino acids. A wide range of alkoxycarbonyl protected amino acids have been converted to the stable crystalline ylides 1. These have been fully characterised, and upon FVP, eliminate Ph₃PO to afford the protected acetylenic amino acids 2 in good yield and without significant racemisation. Subsequent reactions of these extremely versatile intermediates have been used to gain access to a wide variety of chiral amine and amino acids of great interest as potential selective enzyme inhibitors and components for modified peptide structures.     

Preparation and Application of Calix[4]arene Derivatives Bearing Pyridinium Units-Grafted Magnetite Nanoparticles for Removal of Dichromate and Arsenate Anions

Diamide derivatives of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3a and 3b) have been immobilized onto [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane-modified Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles to obtain D-Calix-GEPPTMS-MNs (4a and 4b) and investigate their sorption capability toward arsenate and dichromate anions at different pH. The novel calixarene derivatives were characterized by a combination of FTIR and H-NMR analyses. The morphology of the magnetic nanoparticles was examined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Thermogravimetric Analyses (TGA). In addition, a simple and versatile method has been used for the determination of arsenate in aqueous solution. In this method, the absorption of the excess dye gradually decreases because of its conversion to colorless carbinol species by combining with methyl violet cation (MV⁺) and forming stable blue micro particles of (MV⁺)-molybdoarsenate.     

Comparative study on two 2-pyrazoline derivatives with experimental and theoretical methods

Two 2-pyrazoline derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (1) and 1-phenyl-3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. For the two compounds, density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the structures and natural population atomic charge analysis have been performed at B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory. By using TD-DFT method, electron spectra of 1 and 2 have been predicted, which are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Comparative studies on 1 and 2 indicate that the change of substituted groups in 3-phenyl ring of pyrazoline ring will change the peak intensity and peak locations both in electron spectra and fluorescence spectra.

Identification of coumarins in traditional Chinese medicine by direct-injection electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple and rapid method has been developed for the identification of coumarins in the crude extract of traditional Chinese medicine by direct-injection electrospray ionisation (ESI) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). In this study, osthole (OS) were evaluated directly in the extract of Angelica dahurica Benth, Radix Angelicae pubescentis, and Fructus cnidii using this method. Imperatorin (IM) and its isomers isoimperatorins (IO) were detected in the three traditional Chinese medicines by direct injection ESI/MS/MS and confirmed by HPLC-ESI/MS. Our experimental data reveal that ESI/MS/MS is a sensitive, rapid and convenient technique to identify some constituents in complex and mixed plant extracts.
