Carbon-13 NMR Studies of 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ 2-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones

The ¹³C NMR spectra of twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-l,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-l,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones have been measured and assigned by means of proton-noise decoupling and DEPT-experiments. The coupling constants were determined by means of gated decoupling, and NOE effects were observed by comparison of proton-decoupled and inverse-gated decoupled spectra. Differences shown by the oxadiazoline and the oxadiazole rings and the substitution effects are discussed.     

Crystal and molecular structure of Δ-5,6-diphenyl-5-methoxy-1,2,4-triazacyclohexene-3-thione and Δ-4-methyl-5,6-diphenyl-5-ethoxy-1,2,4-triazacyclohexene-3-thione

Condensation of thiosemicarbazide or N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazide with 1,2,8,9-tetraphenyl-3,7-diazanona-1,9-dione in the presence of copper(II) acetate in 96% ethanol leads to Δ⁶-5,6-diphenyl-5-methoxy-1,2,4-triazacyclohexene-3-thione, C₁₆H₁₅N₃OS, or Δ⁶-4-methyl-5,6-diphenyl-5-ethoxy-1,2,4-triazacyclohexene-3-thione, C₁₈H₁₉N₃OS. For C₁₆H₁₅N₃OS the crystal data are monoclinic, P2₁/c, a=9.7780(7), b=8.5120(3), c=18.2210(13) Å, β=100.958(3)°, V=1488.89(16) ų, and Z=4 in agreement with an earlier report. For C₁₈H₁₉N₃OS the crystal data are orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a=8.6940(3), b=12.9946(3), c=15.5139(5) Å, V=1752.68(9) ų, and Z=4.     

A facile synthesis of 2-substituted-4-(substituted)phenyl-Δ2-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-ones

The title compounds, 3, are formed at ambient temperature from 4,4-dimethyl-2-(substituted)-phenylsemicarbazides (1) and carboxylic acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine. 2-Dimethylamino-4-(substiluted)phenyl-Δ²-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-ones are formed from 1 and dialkyl-carbamoyl chlorides at elevated temperature (about 15° ). Acylation of 1 with carboxylic acid anhydrides, also at elevated temperature, is accompanied by loss of dimethylamine from the intermediate l-acyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-(substituted)phenylsemicarbazides, 2, to give 3.     

Base-induced fragmentations of 1,2,4-oxadiazolin-5-ones and their N-alkyl salts

Titration with triethylamine suffices to cleave the previously unknown title compounds ($\text{2}$ and $\text{3}$) to cyanamides and carbodiimides, respectively.     

Addition-rearrangement reactions of 5-amino-3-oxo-Δ4–1,2,4-thiadiazolines

Bond-switching rearrangement via hypervalent sulfur occurs during the reactions of 5-anilino-2-benzyl-3-oxo-Δ⁴–1,2,4-thiadiazoline 5 with electrophilic nitriles, isothiocyanates, carbon disulfide and ketenes, yielding the products 6 and 7. In contrast, N,N'-ditolylcarbodiimide reacts with 5 to give the normal addition product 8 , which rearranges only partially to 9 in several solvents (chloroform, acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide). The equilibrium position depends on the temperature, favoring 9 at higher temperatures.     

Bond-switch rearrangement of 3-oxo-Δ4-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-5-yl ureas

5-Amino-3-oxo-Δ⁴-1,2,4-thiadiazolines 5a,b react with isocyanates to yield 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine derivatives 9a-d via bond switching of the corresponding isomers 7 . The same type of products 9e-m was obtained by treatment of 5-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazoles 6a-d with two equivalents of isocyanate.     

NMR spectra of Δ3- and Δ4-pyrrolin-2-one

The spectra of Δ³- and Δ⁴-pyrrolin-2-one were analysed and the sign of all the coupling constants determined by tickling and triple resonance experiments. A positive allylic interaction (J_xz in 2 ) is reported and four-bond couplings are discussed in particular. Deuterium exchange affords evidence for the tautomeric equilibrium between 1 and 2 .     

The azomethine nitrene. I. Pyrolysis and photolysis of Δ2 1,2,4-oxadiazoline-5-ones

Both photolytic and pyrolytic fragmentation of the oxadiazolone ring produces carbon dioxide and a residue which may exist in part as an intermediate azomethine nitrene and may react with or without rearrangement and/or further fragmentation. Rearrangement produces carbodiimides 2 and cyanamides 6. Thermal and photo-isornerization of carbodiimides into cyanamides provides a key step in an explanation for the formation of the latter from an oxadiazolone. A highly selective cyclization produces a benzimidazole 3 when a suitable aryl subsliluent is at nitrogen. The formation of N-phenylbenzamidine 7a from 3-phenyl-4-benzyloxadiazolone 5c requires a 1,4-migration from carbon to nitrogen followed by hydrolysis. The same or similar migration of hydrogen and subsequent ring-closure with dehydrogenation provides the formation of 2-phenyl-quinazoline 8. Products which require no rearrangement of the residue include amidines 7 and triazoles 10. A portion of each triazole corresponds to a nitrile, in turn a product along with a simple nitrene;, of more extensive fragmentation of the; oxadiazolone ring. Phenyl, benzyl, and cyclohexyl nitrenes are respectively detected by the isolation of aniline, benzaldehyde and cyclohexanone. Other recombination reactions bring about the formation of triphenyltriazine 13 and triphenylimidazole 14.     

Hydrazidoyl halides in synthesis of Δ2-1,3,4-selenadiazolin-5-ones

Reaction of hydrazidoyl halides 1-5 with potassium selenocyanate in ethanol produces the corresponding 2,4-disubstituted-5-iminoδ²-1,3,4-selenadiazolines, 9-13 respectively. Nitrosation of the latter yields the N-nitroso derivatives 14-17 , which decompose upon refluxing in xylene to give 2,4-disubstituted Δ²-1,3,4-selenadiazolin-5-ones in good yield. Compounds 9-13 give the respective N-acetyl derivatives 22-26 and N-benzoyl derivatives 27-31 with acetic anhydride and benzoyl chloride in pyridine.     

Addition-rearrangement reactions of 5-imino-Δ3-1,2,4-thiadiazolines with trichloroacetonitrile

The reactions of 2-alkyl-3-phenyl-Δ³-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-5-imines 5a,b with trichloroacetonitrile at room temperature yield rearranged products, which are shown by ¹ H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy to exist in two tautomeric structures 6 and 7 .     

Preparation of 3-Aryl-4-(5-ARYL-Δ2-1,2,4-Oxadiazolin-3-YL)Sydnones and their Conversion into 3-ARYL-4-(5-ARYL-1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-YL)Sydnones

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.     

Γ-Lakton-cis-anellierung an Δ2- und Δ3- Cholesten

γ-Lactone-cis-annulation to Δ²- and Δ³- Cholestene. From Δ²- and Δ³- cholestene the γ-lactones 11a , 11b , 12a , and 12b are synthesized through the dibromocarbene adducts 3 and 4 , the bromohydrines 5 and 6 , the oxapiropentanes 7 and 8 , and the cyclobutanones 9a , 9b and 10a , 10b , respectively. The ¹³C-NMR.-spectra of 1–8 and 11 as well as the ORD.-spectra of the cyclobutanones 9 and 10 are reported.     

Studies on the syntheses of azole derivatives. Part III. Syntheses of 1-Phenyl-Δ2-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one and 4-Phenyl-Δ2-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one Derivatives by Fusion of 1-Phenyl-2-acylhydrazine with Urea

Fusion of 1-phenyl-2-acylhydrazine (III) with urea gave Δ²-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one and Δ²-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one derivatives together with various by-products. Furthermore, various derivatives were synthesized for the purpose of examination in a pharmacological screening test.     

Mass spectra of substituted Δ2-1,2,4-oxadiazolines—I

The electron impact fragmentation of four Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolines with substituents at positions 3 and 5 has been examined. The direct analysis of daughter ions and high resolution mass measurements provided valuable information regarding certain ions. The present study clearly demonstrates that the substitution of phenyl or a substituted phenyl group for alkyl at C-3 and alkyl in place of a phenyl substituent at C-5 in the oxadiazoline system alters the fragmentation modes considerably.     

Acid-Base Properties and Prototropic Tautomerism of Isomeric 1,2,4-Triazin-3- and -5-ones

The acidity and basicity constants of isomeric phenyl(aryl)-1,2,4-triazin-3- and -5-ones in aqueous solution were determined by spectrophotometry: pK _a = 7.3–6.2; pK _BH+= 0.1 to –2.2. 1,2,4-Triazin-3-ones are weaker bases than the corresponding 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones. According to the AM1 calculations, the most thermodynamically favorable tautomer in the gas phase is the oxo form: namely, 2H-tautomers of the neutral bases and 2,4-H,H ⁺-tautomers of the conjugate acids.     

Mass spectra of substituted Δ2-1,2,4-oxadiazolines. II

5,5-Pentamethylene-3-(phenyl or para-substituted-phenyl)-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolines, 1a-e , were examined by electron-impact mass spectrometry. Defocussed metastable ion detections confirmed the formation of certain daughter fragments from the mother ions. The exact mass measurements helped to make the correct assignment of various species. We conclude that it is the spiro arrangement which caused such a dramatic change in the decomposition pattern. Several new fragmentation pathways have been found in the present studies. Out of five oxadiazolines prepared for the present work, three ( 1b,d,e ) are new.
