Microwave-assisted manganese(III) acetate based oxidative cyclizations of alkenes with β-ketosulfones

The microwave-assisted synthesis of 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-phenyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)-2,3-dihydrofuran (5a) was performed via manganese(III) acetate based oxidative cyclization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethanone (3a) with vinylbenzene (4a). This new protocol was applied to four sulfone derivatives (3a-d), using vinylbenzene (4a) and diphenylethene (4b), affording a series of 2,3-dihydrofurans (5a-d, 6a-d) in moderate to good yields (26-55%). Similar methodology, applied on allylbenzene (4c), surprisingly, led to dehydronaphthalene derivatives (7a-d) in moderate yields. The unexpected mechanism and the role of allylbenzene (4c) are herein discussed.     

Efficient Syntheses of New 2,2′-Disubstituted-2,3-dihydrofuran Derivatives and Natural Polyketide Analogues

Efficient syntheses of new 2,2′-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrofuran(5H)-4-one,spiro{benzofuran-2,2′-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan}-4(5H)-one derivatives, and natural polyketide analogues have been achieved via the oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with monoterpenes myrcene, camphene, and natural phenyl propenes, namely anethole and safrole respectively. Interestingly, the reaction of isoprene and myrcene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds yielded 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-one derivatives at room temperature. Thus, several substituted 2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives (3a–3h) with potential biological activity have been synthesized.     

The photochemical synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds from s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine (II)

s-Triazolo[4,3-b Jpyridazine (I) photochemically reacted with dihydropyran; 2,3-dihydro-p-dioxin; 2,5-dihydrofuran; 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran; and 1,3-dioxep-5-ene to give a new series of substituted pyrrolo[1,2-b]-.s-triazoles (II-IX). In most reactions, two or more products were formed. The following compounds have been prepared from I: 9-methylene-4a,5,6,7,8a,9-hexahydropyrano[2,3 :4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-b]-s-triazole (Ha), the corresponding 9-cyanomethyl product (III), and 9-methylene-4a,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-6H,9H-pyrano[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-b]-s-triazole (IIb) from dihydropyran; 9-methylene-4a,6,7,8a-tetrahydro-9H-p-dioxino[2′,3′:4,5]-pyrrolo[1,2-6]-s-triazole (IV) from 2,3-dihydro-p-dioxin; 8-methylene-4a,5,7a,8-tetrahydro-7H-furo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-b]-s-triazole (V) and the corresponding 8-cyanomethyl product (VI) from 2,5-dihydrofuran; 8-cyanomethyl-5,7-dimethoxy-4a,5,7a,8-tetrahydro-7H-furo[3′,4′:4,5]-pyrrolo[1,2-6]-s-lriazole (VII) from 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran; and 10-methylene-4a,5,9a,10-tetrahydro-9H-[1,3]dioxepino[5′,6′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-b]-s-triazole (VIII) and the corresponding 10-cyanomethyl product (IX) from 1,3-dioxep-5-ene. The addition of several other compounds (1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, 1-acetylimidazole, 3-sulfolene, 2,3-dihydro-p-dithiin, and vinylene carbonate) was attempted, but no reactions were observed.     

Synthesis of tricyclic isoindoles and thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines

The thermolysis of (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylic acids in Ac₂O led to novel 3-methylene-2,5-dioxo-3H,9bH-oxazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles and chiral (9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles were obtained on FVP. Starting from l-cysteine methyl ester (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines were obtained as single stereoisomers. The thermolysis of (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazine-3-carboxylic acid in Ac₂O gave 5-acetyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole. The structures of methyl (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylate 1a and methyl (2R,4R)-N-chlorocarbonyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylate 9 were determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Some 6-Methyl-3-Thioxo-2,3-Dihydro-1,2,4-Triazine Derivatives

Abstract

4-Arylidene-imidazole derivatives (4a,b) were readily prepared by reacting 4-am- ino-6-methyl-3–thioxo-2,3–dihydro[1,2,4]triazin-5(4H)-one (1) with 4-arylidene-2-phenyl- 4H-oxazol-5-one (2). Reaction of 1 with some aromatic aldehydes in presence of triethylphosphite exclusively afforded the corresponding aminophosphonates 5a-c. Reaction of 1 with 3-phenyl-1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione (6a) and/or 3-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro- 1H-quinazolin-4-one (6b) gave 2-(6-methyl-5-oxo-3-thioxo-2,5-dihydro-3H-[1,2,4]triazin-4-ylimino)-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (7). Moreover, on treating 1 with 2-phenylbenzo[d][1,3]thiazine-4-thione (8), 6-methyl-4-(2-phenyl-4-thioxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-5-one (9) was obtained in 65% yield. Reaction of 1 with 4-sulfonylaminoacetic acid derivatives (10a,b) afforded the corresponding sulfonamides (11a,b), respectively. Acid hydrolysis of 11a afforded 7-aminomethyl-3-methyl[1,3,4]thiadiazole[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-one (12). 4-Amino-6-methyl-3-(morpholine-4-ylsulfanyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazin-5-one (14) was prepared by reacting compound 1 with morpholine in presence of KI/I₂, while 3,3′-bis(4-amino-6-methyl-5-oxo-triazinyl)disulfide (16) was obtained by oxidation of 1 with lead tetraacetate. The antimicrobial activity of the products was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as the fungus Candida albicans.

Synthesis of dihydrofurans containing trifluoromethyl ketone and heterocycles by radical cyclization of fluorinated 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-thienyl and 2-furyl substituted alkenes

Manganese(III) acetate based radical cyclization of various fluorinated 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-thienyl and 2-furyl substituted alkenes produced 3-trifluoroacetyl and 2-trifluoromethyl-dihydrofurans in good yields. The radical cyclizations of 2-methyl-5-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]furan 2b and 2-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]thiophene 2c led to the formations of 5-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran and 5-(2-thienyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran, respectively. In the reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyls with alkenes, 2-thienyl substituted alkenes formed 4,5-dihydrofurans in higher yields than 2-furyl substituted alkenes.     

One pot synthesis of fused [1,2-a]pyrrole from 1,6-dioxo-2,4-diene and haloalkyl primary amine

The one pot synthesis of fused 2,3-dihydropyrrolizine 4a and 6,7-dihydro-5H-indolizine 4b involving the intermolecular dehydrative condensation of 1-phenyl-1,6-dioxo-hepta-2,4-diene 1 with 2-chloroethylamine and 3-chloropropylamine followed by the intramolecular cyclization of the intermediary products 2-(1-chloroalkyl-5-methylpyrrol-2-yl)-1-phenylethanones 3a,b in the presence of a base such as Na₂CO₃ and NaHCO₃ is described. These also led to the concurrent formation of the oxidatively dimerized product 2,3-bis-[1,5-(2-chloroalkyl)-1-H-pyrrol-2-yl]-1,4-diphenylbutane-1,4-dione 5a,b whereby the structure was further confirmed by X-ray analysis.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on some new pyrrol-2,3-diones formation

4-Benzoyl-5-phenyl-2,3-furandione ( 1 ) reacts with asymmetric disubstituted urea derivatives like 1,1-dimethylurea ( 2a ) and 1,1-diethylurea ( 2b ) by the elimination of a H₂O molecule to give the 4-benzoyl-1-(N,N-dialkylcarbamyl)-5-phenyl-2,3-pyrroldiones 3a and 3b . The structures of 3a,b were determined by the ¹³C NMR, ¹H NMR, IR spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. The electronic structures of the reactants, their transition states, intermediate states, and final products of the reactions were investigated on the basis of AM1 and ab initio (DFT) methods. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Novel rel-(6R,7R)-2-oxo-7-phenyl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbaldehydes were synthesized via regio- and diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 5-arylidene-4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinones with acrolein. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticancer and antiviral activities by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) following US NCI and AACF protocols. Anticancer activity screening on NCI60 cell lines allowed identification of 7-phenyl-2-oxo-7-phenyl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbaldehyde 3a with the highest level of antimitotic activity against leukemia with mean GI₅₀/TGI values 1.26/25.22 μM. The screening of antiviral activity lead to identification of 7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbaldehyde 3b with a promising influence on EBV virus (EC₅₀ = 0.07 μM, SI = 3279) and moderate effect on Herpes simplex virus type 1 and Varicella zoster virus and 7-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-2-oxo-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazole-6-carbaldehyde 3e with a promising influence on Hepatitis C virus (EC₅₀ = 12.6 μM, SI = 43.1).

Summary The Claisen rearrangement of 7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (2 a) gave 7-hydroxy-8-(1-phenyl-2-propenyl)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (3 a) and 2,3-dihydro-2,6-diphenyl-3-methyl-(7H)furo[2,3-h]-1-benzopyran-7-one (7 a). 2-Methyl-7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (2 b) afforded4 b and7 b. 8-Methyl-7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (12) gave only the alkali soluble product 7-hydroxy-8-methyl-6-(1-phenyl-2-propenyl)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (13).3 a,4 b, and13 were further cyclized in acidic medium to9 a,10 b, and14 followed by dehydrogenation.This paper is dedicated to Dr. F.

Cyclization of substituted (2-pyridylthio)phenylacetic acids and chromaticity of mesoionic thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridinium-3-olates

The cyclization of substituted (2-pyridylthio)phenylacetic acids has been studied. It was established that reaction occurs at two reaction centers with the formation of substituted 3-imino-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acids and substituted mesoionic thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium-3-olates. The direction of cyclization is influenced by the acidity of the medium and the character of the substituents in the pyridine nucleus. The spectral properties of the synthesized mesoionic compounds were investigated experimentally and theoretically (by the Pariser–Parr–Pople method).     

Silicon-carbon unsaturated compounds. 73. Photolysis of cis- and trans-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-disilacyclohexane in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol and acetone

Irradiation of cis-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-disilacyclohexane (1a) in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol in hexane with a low-pressure mercury lamp bearing a Vycor filter proceeded with high stereospecificity to give cis-2,3-benzo-1-tert-butoxy-1,4-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,4-disilacyclooct-2-ene (2a), in 33% isolated yield, together with a 15% yield of 1-[(tert-butoxy)methylphenylsilyl]-4-(methylphenylsilyl)butane (3). The photolysis of trans-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-disilacyclohexane (1b) with tert-butyl alcohol under the same conditions gave stereospecifically trans-2,3-benzo-1-tert-butoxy-1,4-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,4-disilacyclooct-2-ene (2b) in 41% isolated yield, along with a 12% yield of 3. Similar photolysis of 1a and 1b with tert-butyl alcohol-d₁ produced 2a and 2b, respectively, in addition to 1-[(tert-butoxy)(monodeuteriomethyl)(phenyl)silyl]-4-(methylphenylsilyl)butane. When 1a and 1b were photolyzed with acetone in a hexane solution, cis- and trans-2,3-benzo-1-isopropoxy-1,4-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,4-disilacyclooct-2-ene (4a and 4b) were obtained in 25% and 23% isolated yield. In both photolyses, 1-(hydroxymethylphenylsilyl)-4-(methylphenylsilyl)butane (5) was also isolated in 4% and 5% yield, respectively. The photolysis of 1a with acetone-d₆ under the same conditions gave 4a-d₆ and 5-d₁ in 18% and 4% yields.     

Synthesis of Perfluoro- and 2-Trifluoromethylpentafluorodihydrofurans and Their Epoxy Derivatives

Perfluorotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid was converted through a series of transformations into perfluoro-2,3-dihydrofuran and perfluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran; likewise, from (2-perfluorotetrahydrofuryl)difluoroacetic acid 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,3-dihydrofuran was obtained. Perfluoro-2,3-dihydrofuran and 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,3-dihydrofuran underwent isomerization into perfluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran and 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran by the action of cesium fluoride. Treatment of perfluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran with SbF₅ resulted in ring opening and formation of cis-perfluoro-2-butenoyl fluoride, while 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,3-dihydrofuran was converted into 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran under the same conditions. Perfluoro-3,4-epoxytetrahydrofuran and 2-trifluoromethyl-3,4-epoxypentafluorotetrahydrofuran containing fused oxirane and tetrahydrofuran rings were synthesized by reactions of perfluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran and 2-trifluoromethylpentafluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran, respectively, with sodium hypochlorite.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 7,8-Dihydroquinolino[2,3-a]acridine Derivatives

Novel 9-amino-3-substituted-1,2,3,4-acridin-1-one derivatives and 9,14-diamino-7-substituted-7,8-dihydroquinolino[2,3-a]acridine derivatives were synthesized by the condensation reaction of 5-substituted-1,3-cyclohexanedione with 2-aminobenzonitrile and substituted 2-aminobenzonitrile using p-toluenesulfonic acid, K₂CO₃, and Cu₂Cl₂ as catalysts. The structures of all compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, mass spectrometry, and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The crystal and molecular structures of 6, 14-diamino-3,4,11,12-tetramethoxy-7-phenyl-7,8-dihydroquinolino[2,3-a]acridine 5a have been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of compound 5a belongs to triclinic with space group P-1, a = 1.06168(15) nm, b = 1.16951(17) nm, c = 1.6020(2) nm, α = 71.380(3)°, β = 77.686(3)°, γ = 66.743(3)°, Z = 2, V = 1.7231(4) nm³, R ₁ = 0.1060, and wR ₂ = 0.2192.     

Polymerization of substituted cyclopropanes. III. Anionic polymerizations of 2-substituted cyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitriles

To investigate further the anionic ring-opening polymerization of substituted cyclopropane 2-phenylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitrile (I), 2-ethylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitrile (II), and 2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitrile (III) were prepared and polymerized with sodium cyanide in N,N-dimethylformamide. Under these conditions only I polymerized well. The polymer in I was soluble in hot sulfolane and the inherent viscosity was 0.5 dl/g (conc. 0.5 g in 100 ml). This result supports the previously postulated mechanism that a cyclopropane ring with properly positioned electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents can polymerize by opening the bond activated by a “push–pull” system.     

The synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-6-methylthiazolo-[2,3-b] [1,3] benzodiazepines, 2,3,10,11-tetrahydro-10-methyl-1H-cyclopenta[4,5] thiazolo[2,3-b] [1,3] benzodiazepine,and 7,8,9,10,12,13-hexahydro-13-methylbenzothiazolo[2,3-b] [1,3]-benzodiazepine via 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-methyl-2H-1,3-benzodiazepine-2-thione

Catalytic reductive scission of 4-methylcinnoline (V) with Raney nickel afforded o-amino-β-methylphenethylamine (IV) in 57% yield. Treatment of IV with carbon disulfide followed by thermal cyclization of the product furnished 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-methyl-2H-1,3-benzodiazepine-2-thione (III). Reaction of III with ethyl chloroacetate, ethyl 2-bromohexanoate, ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate, 2-bromo-2′-methoxyacetophenone, and 2-bromoacetophenone provided a series of substituted 5,6-dihydro-6-methylthiazolo[2,3-b][1,3]benzodiazepines. Condensation of III with 2-chlorocyclopentanone and 2-chlorocyclohexanone gave 2,3,10,11-tetrahydro-10-methyl-1H-cyclopenta[4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b][1,3]benzodiazepine and 7,8,9,10,12,13-hexahydro-13-methylbenzothiazolo[2,3-b][1,3]benzodiazepine, respectively. Structure assignments are discussed. None of the compounds possessed appreciable biological activity.     

Mehrfachbindungen zwischen hauptgruppenelementen und übergangsmetallen: XXXVI. Metallorganische oxide der vanadium-reihe: derivate der schlüsselverbindung (η5-C5H5)VOCl2

The synthesis of the organovanadium(V) oxide (η⁵-C₅H₅)VOCl₂ (2a) from the low-valent precursor compound (η⁵-C₅H₅)V(CO)₄ (1a) has been applied to the permethylated derivative of composition (η⁵-C₅Me₅VOCl₂ (2b). Exchange of bromine for chlorine in oxodichlorides 2a and 2b is effected by boron tribromide, yielding the oxodibromide derivatives of composition (η⁵-C₅R₅)VOBr₂ (R = H, 3a; R = CH₃, 3b). The methoxy derivatives 4a and 4b are synthesized directly from the dichloro precursors 2a and 2b, respectively, by treatment with a slight excess of sodium methoxide. Diarylvanadium(V) compounds (η⁵-C_5R)VOX₂ (e.g., R = CH₃, X = C₆H₅; 5b), are obtained from 2a,2b via the Grignard route. ⁵¹V NMR spectroscopy is an easy and powerful method of detecting novel organic vanadium oxides since the chemical shifts vary greatly even with small changes in the ligands attached to the metal.

2-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIa ), 2-ethyl-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIb ), 2-phenyl-2-(n-propyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIc ), 2-phenyl-2-(i-propyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IId ), 2-(n-heptyl)-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIe ), 2-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIf ), and 2,2-diphenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIg ) were prepared and polymerized in the presence of a radical initiator. IIa–IIf were found to undergo vinyl polymerization with ring-opening reaction accompanying the elimination of ketone groups in bulk. IIg was found to undergo the quantitative ring-opening reaction accompanying the elimination of benzophenone in solution to obtain polyketone without any side reaction.
