On the dichotomic behavior of the Z-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole with acids in toluene and in dioxane/water: rearrangement versus hydrolysis

The mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of the Z-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (4a) and of the Z-phenylhydrazone (4b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant triazoles 5a and 5b in toluene has been quantitatively investigated in the presence of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and of piperidine at 313.1 K. While the behavior in the presence of piperidine recalls the one previously evidenced for some Z-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, the study of the reactivity in the presence of TCA has most interestingly evidenced a general-acid-catalyzed rearrangement for "both" 4a and 4b. Thus, 4a offers the first example of a solvent-dependent dichotomic behavior in MRH processes on 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives as far as it undergoes an "acidic hydrolysis" in dioxane/water and a "rearrangement" in toluene.     

Acid- and base-catalysis in the mononuclear rearrangement of some (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in toluene: effect of substituents on the course of reaction

The reaction rates for the rearrangement of eleven (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 3a-k into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas 4a-k in the presence of trichloroacetic acid or of piperidine have been determined in toluene at 313.1 K. The results have been related to the effect of the aryl substituent by using Hammett and/or Ingold-Yukawa-Tsuno correlations and have been compared with those previously collected in a protic polar solvent (dioxane/water) as well as with those on the analogous rearrangement of the corresponding (Z)-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 1a-k in benzene. Some light can thus be shed on the general differences of chemical reactivity between protic polar (or dipolar aprotic) and apolar solvents.     

On the rearrangement in dioxane/water of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas: substituent effects on the different reaction pathways

We have recently evidenced an interesting differential behavior in the reactivity in dioxane/water between the (Z)-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (1a) and the (Z)-phenylhydrazone (1b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole. The former rearranges into the relevant triazole 2a only at pS+ > 4.5 while undergoing hydrolysis at high proton concentration (pS+ < 3.5); on the contrary, the latter rearranges into 2b in the whole pS+ range examined (0.1 < or = pS+ < or = 14.9). Thus, for a deeper understanding of these differences we have now collected kinetic data on the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of 3- or 4-substituted (Z)-phenylhydrazones (1c-l) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a wide range of proton concentrations (pS+ 0.1-12.3) with the aim of gaining information about the effect of the substituent on the course of the reaction. All of the (Z)-arylhydrazones studied rearrange via three different reaction routes (specific-acid-catalyzed, uncatalyzed, and general-base-catalyzed), and the relevant results have been examined by means of free energy relationships.

Heterocyclic rearrangements. N,N-diphenylhydrazones,oximes and O-methyloximes of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole

The behaviour of (E)- and (Z)-N,N-diphenylhydrazones and O-Methyloximes of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole has been studied. When refluxed in benzene, or in dioxane-water (1:1), the (Z)-N,N-diphenylhydrazone 8Z gave the indazole 11 or the substituted semicarbazide 12 , respectively. The O-methyloxime 14Z did not give any rearrangement. A criticism of the oximation reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole is also reported.

Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements. Part III. Rearrangement of the P-methoxyphenylhydrazone and the m-nitrophenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in dioxane/water in the pS+ range 3.8–11.5

The rates of the mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement of the p-methoxyphenylhydrazone (Ib) and the m-nitrophenylhydrazone (1c) of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole have been measured in the range of pS⁺ 3.8–11.5 (solvent: dioxane/water 1:1, v:v) and compared with those of the unsubstituted phenylhydrazone (Ia). The obtained results show that in the base-catalyzed range, electron-repelling as well as electron-withdrawing substituents accelerate the rearrangement rates.     

Room temperature ionic liquids structure and its effect on the mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles: an approach using thermodynamic parameters

The kinetics of the rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1) into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (2) induced by amines have been studied in five room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) at different temperatures. The kinetic data collected show that both cationic and anionic parts of RTILs significantly influence the reactivity of the title reaction. The calculated activation parameters allow us to advance hypotheses about the weak interactions operating in RTIL solutions.

Azines and Their Acyclic Derivatives as Transferers of One-carbon Fragment in Reactions with Pyrazolones

Enehydrazine derivatives have been obtained by the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide with pyrazolones 2, which on further heating with pyrazolones 2 are converted into the corresponding symmetrical or unsymmetrical derivatives of dipyrazolylmethane. Enehydrazine derivatives of 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrosouracil and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine interact with 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone (2a) with the formation of dipyrazolylmethane derivative. On interacting compound 2a or 3-methyl-1-(p-nitrophenyl)-5-pyrazolone with 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide 12 the corresponding 4,4'-bispyrazolones are formed, but the interaction of compound 12 with 3-(p-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone leads to dipyrazolylmethane derivative. Dipyrazolylmethane derivative is obtained on heating of fervenulin 4-oxide, 2,4-dihydroxy-5-nitropyrimidine, and 1,3,5-triazines: 6-azauracil, 5-azauracil, azacytosine, and 2,4-diamino-s-triazine with pyrazolone 2a.     

N- and C-sulfenylation of 1-(1,2-oxazol-3 (and 5)-yl)-3-alkylureas with organic sulfenyl chlorides

Condensation of chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride 1 with 1-(5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl)-3-methylurea 4a has been found to give isomeric 2,4-disubstituted-1,2,4-thiazolidine-3,5-diones 5 and 6 . Assignments are confirmed by the X-ray structure data of 6 . Sulfenylation with alkoxycarbonylsulfenyl chlorides 7 and trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride 10 of 4 occurs exclusively on N-1 rather than N-3 of the urea moiety. With the isomeric 1-[3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,2-oxazol-5-yl]-3-methylurea 14 and ethoxycarbonylsulfenyl chloride 7b , C-sulfenylated derivatives 15 and 16 are formed in low yield.

Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement. Note I. Kinetic study of the rearrangement of the phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into 2,5-diphenyl-4-benzoylamino-1,2,3-triazole

The rates of the mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement of the phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1) into 2,5-diphenyl-4-benzoylamino-1,2,3-triazole (II) have heen measured in dioxane/water (50:50, v:v) in the range of pS⁺ 3.8–12.2 at various temperatures and the activation parameters determined. On the basis of the results obtained, we present evidence for the occurrence of two different types of reaction: the first, base-catalyzed; the second, pS⁺ -independent. In the base-catalyzed range the catalysis is of the general type.     

Fluorinated heterocyclic compounds. An effective strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated Z-oximes of 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2h-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones via a ring-enlargement reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and hydrazine

The reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of the hydrazine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring opening and ring closure with enlargement, leads with high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of Z-oximes of 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones (11a-c) as major products of the reaction. In turn, the hydrazine can attack the electrophilic carbonyl carbon giving 4-perfluoroacylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (13a-c) through the well-known Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement of the intermediate hydrazones.     

Five-to-six membered ring-rearrangements in the reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine and methylhydrazine

The hydrazinolysis reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine or methylhydrazine as bidentate nucleophiles has been investigated. The reaction occurred through the addition of the bidentate nucleophile to the C(5)-N(4) double bond of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole followed by ring-opening and ring-closure (ANRORC) involving the second nucleophilic site of the reagent. This ring-closure step could involve either the original C(3) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole (giving a five-to-five membered ring rearrangement) or an additional electrophilic center linked to it (exploiting a five-to-six membered ring rearrangement). An alternative initial nucleophilic attack may involve the additional electrophilic center linked at C(3), that is the carbonyl group, leading to the formation of the hydrazones which undergo the Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement (BKR). The chosen reaction path is a function of the used nucleophile and of the nature of the substituent at C(3). At variance with previous hypotheses, when methylhydrazine was used, the observed regiochemistry always showed the preferred initial attack by the less hindered NH(2) end of the nucleophile on C(5). Moreover, new spectroscopic evidence allowed the assignment of correct structures to the products formed by reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with methylhydrazine.     

Investigations in the 1,2,4-triazole series

To select a method for the synthesis of the previously difficulty accessible 5-bromo-1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (I) and 1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione (II), a MO LCAO calculation has been carried out in Huckel's approximation of the energies of the radical, electrophilic, and nucleophilic localization on the various carbon atoms of 1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (III). In accordance with this calculation, the required compounds have been obtained in good yields by reactions taking place by a radical mechanism: I by bromination with bromosuccinimide and II by the direct thionation of III. The high reactivity of the bromine atom in position 5 has been noted.For part VIII, see [1].     

Synthesis of 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidenes and their interaction with acetonitrile and chalcogens

Two new, more convenient methods for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidenes are described. Four new 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidenes have been prepared using these methods: 1-(1-adamantyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene (2a), 1-(1-adamantyl)-3-phenyl-4-(p-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene (2b), 1-(1-adamantyl)-3-phenyl-4-(alpha-naphthyl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene (2c), and 1-(1-adamantyl)-3,4-di(p-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene (2d). The X-ray crystal structures of 2d and the precursor salt 1-(1-adamantyl)-3,4-di(p-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolium bromide (1e) are described. Compound 2a reacts with CH(3)CN via C-H insertion to form 1-(1-adamantyl)-3,4-diphenyl-5-cyanomethyl-5H-1,2,4-triazoline (3), and 2a and 2d react with elemental sulfur and elemental selenium, respectively, to form the corresponding thione (4) and selenone (5).     

Mononuclear isoheterocyclic rearrangements. Note I. Interconversion of 3-benzoylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 3-acetylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole

The first example of mononuclear isoheterocyclic rearrangement is reported. The 3-benzoylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 5 ) furnishes through a reversible process (slowly at room temperature in methanol, acetone or dioxane, fast in DMSO or in methanol in the presence of strong bases) a mixture of 5 and 3-acethylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 6 ). The equilibrium process can be achieved also by heating 5 at 181° and the same reaction mixture can be obtained using 6 as the starting material. 3-Trichloroacetylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 7 ) was unaffected by similar treatment. The results obtained are discussed.
