The reactions of 1-substituted 2-nitro-3-phenylaminoprop-2-en-1-ones with cyanothioacetamide afforded the corresponding 6-substituted 3-cyano-5-nitropyridine-2(1H)-thiones, which were used for the synthesis of 6-substituted 3-cyano-2-methylthio-5-nitropyridines and 7-substituted 4-hydroxy-8-nitropyrido[2",3":4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2(1H)-ones.     

Axial and Equatorial Substitution of Dimethylamine on Phosphorus in the 1,3,2-Oxazaphosphorinane Ring System: Structures of 2-Dimethylamino-Phenyl-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-Oxides

X-ray structures of trans-2-dimethylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-oxide, 5b , and trans-2-dimethylamino-6-phenyl-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-oxide, 6c , have been determined. These two compounds have been prepared in a straightforward manner by a reaction of cyclization of Mc₂NP(O)Cl₂ with the corresponding 3-amino-2-phenylpropanol and 3-amino-1-phenylpropanol, respectively, to produce (5b, 6b) and (5c, 6c) , and were separated into pure forms by chromatography. Crystal data of 5b : space group P_ccn, a = 10.675(5), b = 31.685(9), c = 7.217(3) Å, R = 0.065 for 1040 reflections. Crystal data of 6c: space group P-1, a = 9.803(6), b = 12.455(5), c = 12.690(2) Å, α = 114.11(2), β = 80.88(2), γ = 111.64(4)°, R = 0.035 for 3534 reflections. For the pair 5b and 6b , the slowly-migrating 5b is trans (Ph and P = O group trans) with the configuration of 2RS, 5RS, hence 6b is the cis isomer. For the pair 5c and 6c , the slowly migrating 6c is trans with the configuration of 2RS, 6SR; hence 5c is the cis isomer. In both X-ray structures the 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane rings are chair-like with the P-end essentially flattened. With a conformationally demanding 5-phenyl substituent, 5b has an axial Me₂N whereas with also a conformationally demanding 6-phenyl substituent, 6c has an equatorial Me₂N. For 6c , the exocyclic P-N bond has partial double bond character: the geometry about exocyclic N is planar. On the other hand, for 5b , the geometry about exocyclic N deviates considerably from planarity, the sum of the angles around N being 343.3°. In the crystalline state, the two crystallographically independent molecules of 6c are linked together in a hydrogen-bonded system involving the water molecule.     

Rapid access to CF3-containing heterocycles

The silyl-Prins and aza-silyl-Prins reactions have been employed for the preparation of 6-CF₃-substituted dihydropyrans and 6-CF₃-substituted tetrahydropyridines. The product heterocycles have been further elaborated to a number of products, including CF₃-substituted pipecolates and hydroxylated pyrans and piperidines.     

Preparation of 2-Alkyl- and 2-Acylpropenals from 5-(Trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-4H-1,3-dioxin: A Versatile Acrolein α-Cation Synthon

5-(Trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-4H-1,3-dioxin (3) participates in a variety of nucleophilic substitution reactions with cuprate reagents or in palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to provide 5-substituted-4H-1,3-dioxins 5. Upon thermolysis, these compounds undergo facile retrocycloaddition reactions to generate the corresponding 2-substituted acroleins which, if necessary, can be trapped in situ with dienes or heterodienophiles. In particular, the heretofore unknown 2-acylacroleins can be generated using this methodology and trapped with enol ethers to afford 5-acyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans (6g,h), a substructural unit common to many natural products.     

Pyroxene‐type compounds NaM3+Ge2O6, with M = Ga,Mn, Sc and In

The four title compounds, namely sodium gallium germanate, NaGaGe₂O₆, sodium manganese vanadate germanate, NaMnV_0.1Ge_1.9O₆, sodium scandium germanate, NaScGe₂O₆, and sodium indium germanate, NaInGe₂O₆, adopt the high‐temperature structure of the pyroxene‐type chain germanates, with monoclinic symmetry and space group C2/c. The lattice parameters, the individual and average bond lengths involving M1, and the distortion parameters scale well with the ionic radius of the M1 cation. NaGaGe₂O₆ has more distorted M1 sites and more extended tetrahedral chains than NaInGe₂O₆, in which a high degree of kinking is required to maintain the connection between the octahedral and tetrahedral building units of the pyroxene structure. An exceptional case is NaMnGe₂O₆, in which the strong Jahn–Teller effect of Mn³⁺ results in more distorted octahedral sites than expected according to linear extrapolation from the other NaM³⁺Ge₂O₆ pyroxenes. In contrast with the literature, minor incorporations of V⁵⁺ in the tetrahedral site and a corresponding reduction of Mn³⁺ to Mn²⁺ in the octahedral sites in the present sample lower the Jahn–Teller distortion and stabilize the Mn‐bearing pyroxene, even allowing its synthesis at ambient pressure.     

Antimony Trioxide as an Efficient Lewis Acid Catalyst for the Synthesis of 5-Substituted 1H-Tetrazoles

Sb₂O₃ was found to be effective as a catalyst for a smooth (2 + 3) cycloaddition of sodium azide with nitriles to afford 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles in good yields.     

N-substituted amides of 2-cyanopenta-2E,4-dienoic acid

N-Substituted amides of 2-cyanopenta-2E,4-dienoic acid were synthesized by condensation ofN-substituted cyanoacetamides with acrolein in a dioxane-DMSO solution in the presence of Zn(OAc)₂·2H₂O as a condensing agent. X-ray diffraction study of 3-methylanilide of 2-cyanopenta-2E,4-dienoic acid (2d) demonstrated that the crystal structure of this compound is similar to that of 2-cyanopenta-2E,4-dienoic acid studied previously. However, the presence of themeta-tolyl substituent in molecule2d apparently results in the fact that the β-structure, which is typical of 2-cyanopenta-2E,4-dienoic acid, does not exist in the crystalline phase of2d.

An Efficient Route for the Synthesis of 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-Phenyl-3,4-Dihydro-2H-Benzo[E][,32,]Oxazaphosphinine,its P-Chalcogenides and Metal Complexes

Abstract

2-[(4-bromophenylamino)-methyl]-phenol (1) gave substantially pure 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,3,2]- oxazaphosphinine (2) on cyclization with phenyldichlorophosphine in toluene at 0 °C. Reaction of 2 with H₂O₂ in dichloromethane gave selectively 3. P-chalcogenides (4 and 5) were prepared by reacting 2 with elemental S and Se powder in toluene, whereas the tungsten pentacarbonyl complex 6 was prepared by reacting 2 with [W(CO)₅(CH₃CN)] in tetrahydrofuran at 25 °C.

Reactions of 3, 5-Dimethyl-4-Carbethoxy-2-Cyclohexen-1-One at α-Position

3, 5-Dimethyl-4-carbethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one has been synthesized through the Knoevenagel condensation¹, which is then subjected to alkylation and acylation at α-position. The resulting products are hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to α-substituted cyclohexenones. 3, 5-Dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one is converted by N-bromosuccinimide to phenol via enolization².     

A density functional theory study of the stereoselectivity of Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of trifluoromethylated N-acylhydrazones and isoprene: A concerted asynchronous mechanism

Here we employ density functional theory calculations to systematically investigate the underlying mechanism of Cu(OTf)₂-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reactions in the synthesis of CF₃-substituted pyrazolidines. About eight possible initial configurations of the [3+2] reaction is considered, and all relevant reactants, transition states, and products are optimized. Based on these structures, internal reaction coordinate paths, and wavefunction analysis results, we conclude that the Cu(OTf)₂-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition follows a concerted asynchronous mechanism. The C N bond forms immediately after the formation of the C C bond. Among the eight reaction paths, the energy barrier for the [3+2] reaction that leads to the CF₃-substituted syn-pyrazolidine is the lowest, ∼5.4 kcal/mol, which might result in the diastereoselectivity that is observed in the experiment. This work not only gives the detailed mechanism of the Cu(OTf)₂-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition but can also be helpful for the future designation of Cu(OTf)₂-based cycloaddition processes.     

Perfluoroalkylation of 2-Thiopyrimidine Derivatives

The method of perfluoroalkylation of heterocyclic thiols and disulfides by thermolytic reaction with xenon(II) bisperfluoroalkylcarboxylates has been extended to sulfur-containing pyrimidines, including 2-mercaptopyrimidines, symmetrical disulfides, and S-trifluoroacetyl derivatives obtained from the corresponding thiols. The main reaction products are 2-SC_nF_2n+1 (n = 1, 2)-substituted pyrimidines. Their formation proceeds only via disulfides into which the initial thiols and S-trifluoroacetyl derivatives are converted in the reaction medium. Side reactions occurred in the case of trifluoromethylation linked with the perfluoroalkylation of the pyrimidine nucleus at the free 5 position (in the case of the 4,6-dimethyl derivative), or at position 4 or 4 and 5 (for unsubstituted pyrimidine). In addition, the introduction of the CF₃ group at one of the methyl substituents was confirmed by the formation of CH₂CF₃ fragment.

X-Ray Structural Studies of the Polymorphic Elpasolites K₂LiAlF₆ and Rb₂LiGaF₆ At single crystals of low (LT) and high temperature (HT) modifications of K₂LiAlF₆ and of Rb₂LiGaF₆, synthesized at normal pressure (NP), the crystal structures were refined. LT-K₂LiAlF₆ is a cubic elpasolite (Fm3m, Z = 4, a = 784.2(1) pm; Al–F: 181.2(1) pm), HT-K₂LiAlF₆ and NP-Rb₂LiGaF₆ are isostructural with the hexagonal-rhombohedral type of Cs₂NaCrF₆ (R3m, Z = 6, a = 561.7(1) resp. 586.3(1), c = 2757.6(6) resp. 2856.3(5) pm; mean values Al–F: 180.5 resp. Ga–F: 189.3 pm). A cubic high pressure modification (HP) of Rb₂LiGaF₆ was obtainable as a powder only (a = 820.8(2) pm). The relations of distances between LT/HT and HP/NP polymorphs of elpasolites are compared and discussed.

6-Amino-2-thio- and 6-Aminouracils as Precursors for the Synthesis of Antiviral and Antimicrobial Methylenebis(2-thiouracils), Tricyclic Pyrimidines,and 6-Alkylthiopurine-2-ones

Summary. Several derivatives of 5-arylmethylenebis(1-methyl-6-amino-2-thiouracils) and 5-aryldipyrimidopyridines were prepared by stirring of 6-amino-1-methyl-2-thiouracil and 6-amino-1-benzyluracil with different aromatic aldehydes in ethanol in the presence of HCl or refluxing with AcOH. On the other hand, 6-alkylthio-3,9-dimethylpurine-2-ones were synthesized by the alkylation of 3,9-dimethyl-6-thioxanthine which was prepared by treatment of 3,9-dimethylxanthine with P₂S₅. The structures of the novel compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The effects of the novel compounds on both HAV and HSV type 1 were investigated. Also, some compounds showed inhibitory effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as yeast and fungi.

Axial and Equatorial Dimethylamine Substitution on Phosphorus in the 1,3,2-Oxazaphosphorinane Ring System: Structures of 2-Dimethylamino-4-Phenyl-2H-1,3,2-Oxazaphosphorinane-2-Oxides

Single crystal x-ray structures of the diastereomeric 2-dimethylamino-4-phenyl-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-oxides, 5c and 6c, have been determined. The pair has been prepared in a straightforward manner by reaction of 3-amino-3-phenylpropanol with Mo₂P(O)Cl₂, and separated into pure forms by column chromatography. Crystal data of 5c: space group P2₁/n, a = 11.087(3), b = 6.087(6), c = 18.465(6)Å, β = 98.40(3)°, R = 0.035 for 1845 reflections. Crystal data of 6c: space group P2₁/n, a = 11.176(2), b = 6.893(2), c = 16.673(3)Å, β = 95.29(1)°, R = 0.037 for 1253 reflections. The fast-migrating 5c is cis (Ph and P = O group cis) with the configuration of 2RS, 4SR. The slow migrating 6c is trans with the configuration of 2RS, 4RS. In both structures the 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane rings are chair like with the P-end essentially flattened, The skeleton made up with 4-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane is essentially the same. With a conformationally demanding 4-phenyl substituent, 5c has an axial Mc₂N whereas 6c has an equatorial Me₂N. For 6c, the exocyclic P-N bond has a partial double bond character the geometry about exocyclic N is planar. On the other hand, for 5c, the geometry about exocyclic N deviates considerably from planarity, the sum of the angles around N being 348.1°. In the crystalline state, the screw-related 5c molecules are hydrogen bonded whereas in the crystalline state, the centro-symmetrically related 6c molecules are paired-up by hydrogen bonds, both through the N-H and P = O system.     

Catalytic Asymmetric Friedel–Crafts Alkylation of Indole via In Situ Generated Indol-2-one

An asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with in situ generated indol-2-one from functionalized 3-bromooxinidole catalyzed by chiral N,N’-dioxide/Ni(BF₄)₂ has been developed. This protocol provides an efficient route to stereoselective construction of a series of 3-substituted 3’-indolyloxindoles bearing a quaternary carbon center in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). In addition, the conversion of the resulted 3-substituted 3’-indolyloxindole to the key intermediate for the formal synthesis of (+)-folicanthine was also demonstrated.     

Acetylenchemie, 33. Mitt.: Synthese von 2-substituierten Dihydrofuro[2,3-b]chinolinen

Summary The reaction of 3-iodo-4-methoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (1) and 3-iodo-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (2) with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol under modified Heck-conditions gave the 2-substituted derivatives 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4-methoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (3) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4,6,8-trimethoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (4). By a subsequent hydrogenation-reaction with a homogeneous catalyst (PtO₂/Rh₂O₃), the furoquinoline-derivatives yielded the dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinolines, identified as 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinoline (5) (racemic platydesmine) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinoline (6) (racemic precursor of O⁴-methylptelefolonium salt).

     

Synthesis and physiological activity of new organophosphorus pesticides of 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane series

Methods for the synthesis of 2-aryloxy(arylthio)- and 2-alkoxy(alkylthio)-2-thio(oxo)-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinanes and theirN-substituted derivatives based on the reactions of the corresponding dichlorophosphates, dichlorothio-, and dithiophosphates with 3-aminopropan-1-ol or its substituted derivatives in the presence of Et₃N or aqueous alkali under phase transfer catalysis conditions, as well as by the reaction of the tetramethylammonium salt of 2-hydroxy-2-thio-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane with alkyl- and acyl halides, by that of 2-chloro-2-thio-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane with sodium thiolates, and by other methods, were developed.
