Polycyclic heteroaromatics from reactions of acylbenzotriazoles with aryl isocyanates

N-Acylbenzotriazoles react with aryl isocyanates to form, depending on the type of acyl group, compounds based on five different classes of polycyclic heteroaromatics. Higher alkanoyl-, acetyl-, acetoacetyl-, aroyl-, and cinnamoylbenzotriazoles yield, respectively, derivatives of quinoline, pyrimidino[5,4-c]quinoline, benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyridine, phenanthridine, and indolo[2, 3-b]quinoline by incorporating 3, 3, 4, 2, and 2 molecules, respectively, of the isocyanate per acylbenzotriazole molecule.     

Synthesis of novel fused tricyclic quinolones: 4a,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐[1;2,4]triazino[1,6‐a]quinoline‐2,4,6(3H)‐triones

A versatile methodology to build the 1H‐[1,2,4]triazino[1,6‐a]quinoline‐2,4,6(3H)‐trione structure from methyl 6‐fluoro4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydro‐2‐quinolinecarboxylate was developed. The method involves an N‐ami‐nation followed by condensation of an aroyl isocyanate to form an alpha semicarbazidocarboxylate that readily cyclizes to the fused [1,2,4]triazino ring under ammonia/ethanol condition. Also, the reactivity of the [1,2,4]triazino ring thus obtained was studied.     

Synthesis and properties of azidostyrylquinolines

Isomeric azidostyrylquinolines with a 4-azidostyryl group in position 2 or 4 of the quinoline ring have been synthesized. In the neutral form the azidostyrylquinolines absorb in the near UV but the protonated species absorb in the short wavelength region of the visible spectrum. In both forms the azides are lightsensitive and decompose under the influence of light with a quantum yield close to 1. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 555–561, April, 2007.

Conclusions The activity of PdCl₂ as a catalyst for the carbonylation of nitrobenzene to phenyl isocyanate at 190° and an initial CO pressure of 100 atm increases by 6–9 times when either pyridine or quinoline is added to the reaction system.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2597–2598, November, 1977.     

New efficient synthesis of 1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]quinolines by a sequential Van Leusen/Staudinger/aza-Wittig/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization

A new efficient synthesis of multisubstituted 1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]quinoline derivatives via sequential van Leusen/Staudinger/aza-Wittig/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization was developed. Azides 4, obtained from Van Leusen reaction of 2-azidobenzaldehyde 1, amine 2 and TosMIC (tosylmethyl isocyanide) 3, reacted with triphenyl phosphine to produce iminophosphorane 5. A tandem aza-Wittig reaction of iminophosphorane 5 with isocyanate generated 1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]quinoline 7 through carbodiimide intermediate 6 in moderate to good yield.     

Structure, stability, and interconversion barriers of the rotamers of cis-[Pt(II)Cl(2)(quinoline)2] and cis-[Pt(II)Cl(2)(3-bromoquinoline)(quinoline)] from X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics evidence

Reported are the preparations of cis-[PtCl(2)(quinoline)(2)] and cis-[PtCl(2)(3-bromoquinoline)(quinoline)] and an investigation of the stabilities and interconversion of the rotamer forms of these complexes. Both head-to-head (HTH) and head-to-tail (HTT) rotamer forms are found in the crystal structure of cis-[PtCl(2)(quinoline)(2)]. The NOESY NMR spectrum of cis-[PtCl(2)(quinoline)(2)] in dmf-d(7) at 300 K is consistent with conformational exchange brought about by rotation about the Pt-N(quinoline) bonds. H.H nonbonded distances between H atoms of the two different quinoline ligands were determined from NOESY data, and these distances are in accord with those observed in the crystal structure and derived from molecular mechanics models. cis-[PtCl(2)(3-bromoquinoline)(quinoline)] was prepared to alleviate the symmetry-imposed absence of inter-ring H2/H2 and H8/H8 NOESY cross-peaks for cis-[PtCl(2)(quinoline)(2)]. Molecular mechanics calculations on the complexes show the HTT rotamers to be 1-2 kJ mol(-)(1) more stable than the HTH forms, consistent with the (1)H spectra where the intensities of resonances for the two forms are approximately equal. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectra of cis-[PtCl(2)(quinoline)(2)] in dmf-d(7) indicate a rotational energy barrier of 82 +/- 4 kJ mol(-)(1). Variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectra indicate that the Br substituent on the quinoline ring does not affect the energy barrier to interconversion between the HTT and HTH forms (79 +/- 5 kJ mol(-)(1)). The steric contribution to the rotation barrier was calculated using molecular mechanics calculations and was found to be approximately 40 kJ mol(-)(1), pointing to a possible need for an electronic component to be included in future models.     

Reaction of acyl isocyanates with pyridine derivatives

Conclusions Trichloroacetyl isocyanate reacts with 2- and 4-picolines to form substituted trichloroacetylamidates. Benzoyl isocyanate forms a dimer in the presence of picolines. Depending on the nature of the solvent, trichloroacetyl isocyanate adds to 4-vinylp'yridine either at the vinyl group or at the ring nitrogen atom.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2127–2130, September, 1984.

Acid-catalyzed Conversions of N-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropyl- and N-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-alkenylanilines. A new Method for the Synthesis of Dihydroquinolines and Quinolines

The acid-catalyzed conversions of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropyl- and N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-alkenylanilines have been studied. It has been established that the protonated azomethine unit of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropylanilines is not capable of initiating intramolecular heterocyclization with participation of the three-membered ring. Conversion of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-(1-methylcyclopropyl)aniline to derivatives of quinoline is possible under the influence of concentrated H₂SO₄. Under the same conditions 2-methylcyclopropyl- and cyclopropyl-substituted Schiff's bases form only the corresponding alkenylazomethines (isomerization of the three-membered ring). Under the influence of more moderate acids (trifluoroacetic, polyphosphoric) N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-propenyl- and N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-buten-2-yl)anilines are converted to the corresponding dihydroquinolines and quinolines in high yields. N-(4-Nitrobenzylide! ne)- 2-(2,2-dimethylvinyl)aniline does not form derivatives of quinoline under the influence of the same acids in the given conditions.     

Polymerization of 3,4-dihydro-2H-carboxyaldehyde (acrolein dimer). Part II. Copolymerization with isocyanates

Copolymers of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxyaldehyde (acrolein dimer) with phenyl isocyanate were obtained under several conditions. Infrared and NMR analyses showed that the isocyanate always reacted with acrolein dimer forming urethane linkages, not block units of isocyanate. An alternating copolymer was obtained from the copolymerization in the presence of anionic catalysts such as butyllithium at room temperature, irrespective of the monomer ratios employed. The isocyanate content in the copolymer prepared with an Al(C₂H₅)₂Cl catalyst was increased by elevating polymerization temperature. The copolymerizability of aldehydes with the isocyanate depends upon the polarity of aldehyde group.     

Electron-transfer polymers. XXXIV. Redox polyurethanes from p-benzoquinone-2,5-diols and diisocyanates

It is possible to prepare polyurethanes from p-benzoquinone-diols and diisocyanates by using dibutyltin diacetate catalyst at room temperature or below, since the benzoquinone group does not react with isocyanate under these conditions. This permits preparation of new redox polymers. In preparing the polyurethanes excess isocyanate groups must be destroyed at the end of the reaction time in order to prevent crosslinking during work-up. These polymers are readily reduced by aqueous hydrosulfite. Good viscosity numbers are obtained; and, in general, upon reduction the viscosity increases over that of the oxidized form. There is no evidence of crosslinking. When oxidized and reduced forms of these polymers are mixed there is no evidence of charge transfer.     

Crystal Engineering Studies of the Complexes of Ethyl Resorcinarene with Aromatic Nitrogen Heterocycles

Five X-ray structures of complexes of ethyl resorcinarene with aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (imidazole, 1,2,4-triazole, pyridine, pyrazine, 2-pyridylmethanol and quinoline) show that ethyl resorcinarene spontaneously forms molecular inclusion complexes with five- and six-membered aromatic nitrogen heterocycles via π ?π and CH ?π interactions. However, with 10-membered quinoline, no molecular inclusion complex is formed. Instead, quinoline manifests crystal lattice inclusion.

Latent reactive polymers containing isocyanate moiety that show extreme stability under aerobic atmosphere

This article deals with the latent reactive polymers having isocyanate moiety obtained from the radical copolymerization of 2‐propenyl isocyanate ( 2PI ) with styrene, 2PI with methyl methacrylate ( MMA ), and 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate ( MOI ) with styrene. The radical copolymerization was carried out in benzene (5.00 M by total monomer) in the presence of AIBN (3.00 mol % of total monomer) at 60 °C for 24 h. The isocyanate moiety in each copolymer was stable at room temperature for more than 6 months under aerobic atmosphere, because no change of the infrared absorption based on isocyanate group of the resulting copolymer at around 2250 cm^?1 was observed. Isocyanate moiety of obtained copolymer (poly( 2PI ‐co‐ St )) reacted with excess diamines or diols at 80 °C in THF solution to afford the crosslinked polymer quantitatively. These results could demonstrate that isocyanate moiety in the copolymers showed thermal and reactive latency. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 2448–2453, 2006     

2,6-Dimethylphenylnitrene in low-temperature matrices

Photolysis of 2,6-dimethylphenyl azide in N₂ matrices at 12K gives 2,6-dimethylphenylnitrene; in the presence of CO, the nitrene forms the corresponding isocyanate, while on shorter wavelength irradiation, it undergoes an inefficient rearrangement to an azacycloheptatetraene.     

Mild and direct conversion of quinoline N-oxides to 2-amidoquinolines with primary amides

[reaction: see text] A simple, one-pot procedure is described for the direct conversion of quinoline N-oxides to alpha-amidoquinolines with primary amides. This methodology is complimentary to the Abramovich reaction, which is limited to the introduction of secondary amides via imidoyl chlorides. Although reaction conditions are quite similar, omission of the base is key for successful reaction with primary amides, which were found not to proceed through the intermediacy of an imidoyl chloride but rather through an acyl isocyanate.     

Reaction of trichloroacetyl isocyanate with some β-diketones

Cyclization of n-alkylazinium cations with bisnucleophiles. 5. Cyclic adducts and recyclization products in the reactions of benzodiazinium cations with imido esters

The reaction of imido esters that contain an active methylene group with four isomeric benzodiazinium cations, viz., the 1-methylquinoxalinium, 2-methylcinnolinium, 3-methylquinazolinium, and 2-methylphthalazinium cations, was investigated. The 1-methylquinoxalinium cation reacts with imido esters via a scheme involving anionic [3^– +2]-cycloaddition to form tetrahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxalines. The 2-methylcinnolinium cation forms an adduct with an annelated pyrrole ring. Under the influence of imido esters, the 3-methylquinazolinium cation undergoes recyclization to a 2,3-disubstituted quinoline. The 2-methylphthalazinium cation is inert in this reaction.See [1] for Communication 4.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1549–1553, November, 1981.
