New polyfluorinated 1,3-diketones have been prepared from polyfluorinated acetophenones and appropriate esters in the presence of sodamide. The corresponding copper 1,3-diketonates have been obtained by treating a methanolic solution of polyfluorinated 1,3-diketone with methanolic solution of copper acetate. The polyfluorinated 1,3-diketones have been characterized by elemental as well as by spectral studies, viz: I.R., ¹H N.M.R. and ¹⁹F N.M.R. In I.R., characteristic absorptions observed are: CF stretching bands (1300 ? 1000) cm^?1, CF deformation modes (900 ? 700 cm^?1) and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (3000 ? 2500 cm^?1). In ¹H N.M.R. methine ( = C$\text{H}$) signal is observed at δ 6.2 ? 6.8 ppm and enolic proton resonance signal at δ 13 ? 15 ppm indicating the presence of strong hydrogen bonding in such polyfluorinated 1,3-diketones.

Six new polyfluorinated monothio-l,3-diketones have been synthesized from the corresponding fluorinated aceto- phenones and appropriate 0-alkyl thioesters in the presence of sodamide. All these monothio-1,3-diketones are characterized by I.R. and ¹H N.M.R. spectral studies.     

Synthesis of fluorinated α-diketones and some intermediates

Reactions of perfluoroalkylcopper compounds with α-ketoacyl chlorides were used for the synthesis of fluorinated α-diketones. Heptafluoropropylcopper prepared from copper bronze and 1-iodoheptafluoropropane reacted with benzoylformyl chloride to give heptafluoro-1-phenyl-1,2-pentanedione, with trimethylpyruvyl chloride to give 2,2-dimethyl-5,5,6,6,7,7,7-heptafluoro-3,4-heptanedione, and with 3,3,4,4,5,5,5-heptafluoro-2-ketopentanoyl chloride or oxalyl chloride to give tetradecafluoro-4,5-octanedione. Syntheses of fluorinated acetylenes, cyanohydrins, α-hydroxy acids, α-keto acids, their chlorides, and other intermediates for the syntheses of α-diketones by the above route and by other methods are described. An interesting seven-membered ring containing β-hydroxy ketone was obtained by an intramolecular aldol condensation of a fluorinated bis(methyl) ketone.     

Mass spectral studies of some β-diketones and their beryllium complexes

Detailed comparison of the fragmentation behavior of a series of beryllium β-diketonates with that of the corresponding series of β-diketones reveals a number of striking differences. A-typical fragmentations are observed for diketones and diketonates with trifluoromethyl and α-phenyl substituents.     

Synthesis and study of some new fluorinated glyoxaliminehydrazones and their nickel complexes

Spectral studies of some fluorinated glyoxaliminehydrazones reveal that in these compounds the hydrazoneimino tautomer with hydrogen bonding via the imino-N predominates. The complexation of this ligands with nickel involves the N-atoms of the observed tautomeric form.     

Spectroscopic studies on some azo compounds and their cobalt, copper and nickel complexes

Synthesis and characterization of [o-carboxy phenylazo] moiety of barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid, thiouracil, citrazinic acid, and disodium chromotropate and their complexes derived from cobalt (II), nickel (II), and copper (II) salts were done.

Synthesis of the title compounds by the Smiles rearrangement has been reported. 1,2-Dichloro-7-substituted phenothiazines have been prepared by the Smiles rearrangement of 3,4-dichloro-2-formamido-2′-nitro-4′-substituted-diphenyl sulphides. The latter were obtained by the formylation of the diphenyl sulphides obtained by the condensation of 2-amino-3,4-dichlorobenzenethiol with o-halogenonitrobenzenes. 9-Nitrophenothiazines have been prepared by the reaction of 2-amino-3,4-dichlorobenzenethiol with substituted o-halonitrobenzenes containing a nitro group at both ortho positions to the halo atom in which Smiles rearrangement occurs in situ.

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial studies of some new tellurated azo compounds

A series of tellurated azo compounds [i.e. (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)TeBr₃ and (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)₂TeBr₂, where Ar=5-BrC₆H₃, 5-CH₃C₆H₃ and 5-NO₂C₆H₃] were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)aryl mercury chloride with tellurium tetrabromide in 1:1 and 2:1?mole ratio, respectively in dry dioxane as a solvent. The reduction of (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)TeBr₃ by hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding ditelluride (i.e., (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)₂Te₂). Treatment of (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)₂TeBr₂ with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding tellurides, (4-HOC₆H₄N=N-Ar)₂Te), in good yields. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were assigned on the basis of their elemental and spectroscopic data. The antibacterial activity of tellurated azo compounds along with mercurated azo compounds was tested with agar diffusion method against the bacteria strains Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial activities of tellurated azo compounds were in some cases equal or better than those of the reference drug. The mercurated azo compounds were found to be the more antibacterial activity of than those of tellurated azo compounds.     

Studies on isoindoline derivatives and related compounds. I Synthesis and reduction of 1,3-dicarboethoxymethyleneisoindoline

The reaction of iminoether III with benzyl cyanoacetate gave ethyl 1-(α-cyanocarbobenzyl-oxymethylene)isoindoline-3-acetate (V) in a 26% yield. Decarboxylation of ethyl 1-(α-cyanocarboxymethylene)isoindoline-3-acetate (VI), obtained by hydrogenolysis of V, gave a mixture of 1-carboethoxymethyleneisoindoline-3-acetonitrile (VII) as major component and 1-carboethoxymethylene-3-cyanomethyleneisoindoline (VIII) as minor component, which were reconvertible into each other. On the other hand, decarboxylation of VI was successfully carried out to give VII as a single product under a nitrogen atmosphere. Ethanolysis and autoxidation of VII gave crystalline diethyl 1,3-dicarboethoxymethyleneisoindoline (XIII). Catalytic hydrogenation of of XIII over platinum oxide gave diethyl isoindoline-cis-1,3-diacetate (XIV) in a yield of 92%. The uv spectra of these 1,3-disubstituted isoindoline derivatives are summarized in Table I.

Mannich reaction of tryptamine with 3,3,4-triethoxycarbonylhexaldehyde (IV) gave the cyclized product (VIII), whose hydrolysis, followed by decarboxylation, afforded the acid (IX). After esterification of IX, reduction of ester (X) with lithium aluminum hydride gave the C-nordihydrocorynantheol (II). The syntheses of IV and XV were also described. Furthermore, the Mannich reaction of L-N-benzyl-1-methyltryptophan methyl ester (XV) with IV was also examined. This reaction gave the ester (XVII), which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give the acid (XVIII). Esterification of XVIII, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gave the lactam (III).     

Studies on antidiabetic agents. X. Synthesis and biological activities of pioglitazone and related compounds

Various analogues of a new antidiabetic agent, pioglitazone (AD-4833, U-72107), were synthesized in order to study in more detail the structure-activity relationships of this class of drug. 5-(4-Pyridylalkylthiobenzyl)-2,4-thiazolidinediones (I), thia-analogues of pioglitazone, were prepared via Meerwein arylation of the alkylthioanilines (IV). 5-(4-Pyridylalkoxybenzylidene)-2,4-thiazolidinediones (IIa) and related heterocyclic analogues (IIb) were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of the aldehydes (VIII) with the corresponding azolidinones. Compounds I and II were evaluated for hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity in genetically obese and diabetic yellow KK (KKAy) mice. Several 5-[4-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethoxy]-benzylidene]-2,4- thiazolidinediones (IIa) were equipotent to pioglitazone. However, the thia-analogues (I) and the benzylideneheterocycles (IIb) had decreased activity. Catalytic hydrogenation of the 5-benzylidene analogue (14) was found to be a convenient new synthetic method for pioglitazone. The configuration of 14 is also discussed.

Fungicidal and spectral studies of some triphenyltin compounds

In the interest of developing a more effective fungicide to combat Dutch elm disease, our laboratories have synthesized several triphenyltin carboxylates and some 1:1 addition compounds of triphenyltin chloride using 2,3-disubstituted thiazolidin-4-ones as the ligand and screened them in vitro against Ceratocystis ulmi, the causative agent of Dutch elm disease, using a shake culture method. Elemental analyses and spectroscopic data indicate that the structures of the carboxy- lates in the solid state are monomeric with a tetrahedral tin atom with the exception of the furan-2-carboxylic acid derivative, which was found to be polymeric. The triphenyltin chloride adducts are trigonal-bipyramidal with the three phenyl groups in the equatorial plane. Far-infrared data indicate that the three phenyl groups are not co-planar. Screening results for both series of organotins indicate that these two classes of compounds are effective inhibitors of Ceratocystis ulmi, with the adducts having a higher activity. The furan-2-carboxylic acid derivative has a markedly decreased activity compared with the other carboxylates and this is attributed to its polymeric structure. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Diisophorone and related compounds. Part 12 Synthesis of 4-bromodiisophorones and their reactions with nucleophiles

4-Bromodiisophor-2(7)-en-1-ol-3-one (2) is accessible by the action of hydrobromic acid on 2,7-epoxydiisophoran-1-ol-3-one (1), and is convertible into the corresponding 1-carboxylic acid (9) by theKoch-Haaf reaction. Nucleophilic substitution displaces the halogen in both the 4-bromoketol (2) and the 4-bromoketo-acid (9). Amongst the products thus obtained, 4-hydroxy-1-carboxydiisophor-2(7)-en-3-one (11) is of special interest as a source of the 3,4-diketo-1-carboxylic acid (13).
