3-(2-methylthiopyridin-3-yl)-3-oxopropionic esters

A reaction of alkyl bromoacetates with substituted 3-cyano-2-methylthiopyridines in the presence of zinc dust furnishes 3-amino-3-(2-methylthiopyridin-3-yl)propenoic esters. Their hydrolysis under mild conditions leads to 3-(2-methylthiopyridin-3-yl)-3-oxopropionic esters. The latter were used in the synthesis of pyridine-substituted pyrazolones.     

3-(Carbazol-2-yl)- and 3-(Carbazol-3-yl)-dl-alanines

A facile transformation of 2- and 3-methylcarbazoles into 3-(carbazol-2-yl)-and 3-(carbazol-3-yl)-dl-alanines compounds is described.     

Chemistry of 3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile

This review highlighted the methods used for the synthesis of different heterocyclic compounds derived from 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile. The reactivity and their synthetic importance were investigated. In this context, recent progress in the synthesis and use of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile as precursors for heterocyclic compounds is reviewed.     

2-(Acylmethylmercapto)-3-amino- and 2-(acylmethylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-acetamido-5-(or 6-)chloropyridines with phenacyl bromide and substituted phenacyl bromides yielded 2-(phenacylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines, while the reaction of the former with -chloroacetoacetic ester yielded 2-(carbethoxyacyl-methylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridlnes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1391–1394, October, 1971.     

3-(3＇-乙酰基-5＇-芳基-1＇,3＇,4＇-二氢噁二唑-2＇-)色酮的微波促进合成

将微波应用于促进有机合成是近年来兴起的新技术,已受到极大注意,我们采用简单的微波反应装置,成功地合成了3－杂环基取代的色酮,杂环基取代的色酮因其显著的生理活性,而成为近年来的研究特点,以3－甲酰基色酮为原料,与芳酰肼反应得到相应的芳酰腙,再用乙酸酐关环,合成了一系列3位为1,3,4－二氢恶二唑基取代的色酮（3）,为在合适的母体上引入杂环提供了一系新思路,合成路线如下。     

Synthesis of ethyl 3-(3-hydroxy-2-thienyl)-3-oxopropanoates

An approach to the synthesis of substituted ethyl 3-(3-hydroxy-2-thienyl)-3-oxopropanoates was developed based on the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate, carbon disulfide, and ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate. The reaction regioselectively involved the ester group, rather than the nitrile one like in the case when malononitrile or cyanacetamide were used.     

Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reactions via 3-(Phenylthio)-4-(Trimethylsilyl)-3-Sulfolene

Deprotonation of the title compound 2 followed by treatment with 5-iodo-1-pentene or 6-iodo-l-hexene gave the alkylated products 3 and 4 which upon refluxing in toluene yielded the dienes 8a and 8b. Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions were achieved by heating the dienes 8a and 8b in toluene in a sealed tube at 160–180°C to give bicyclo[4.3.0]nonene 9 and bicyclo[4.4.0]decene 10, respectively, in good yield. The stereochemistry of the cyclization products was determined, and was rationalized by comparison of the possible transition states involved.
