Synthesis and study of the cyclization pathways and reactivities of α-diazoimidolates

The reaction of unsymmetrical N,N-disubstituted malonamides with benzenesulfonyl azide in the presence of sodium ethoxide gives individual sodium 1,2,3-triazol-5-olates or mixtures of their isomers, from the relative amounts of which the effect of substituents in the amido groups on the cyclization pathways and reactivities of -diazoimidolates was ascertained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1521–1527, November, 1991.     

Reactions of α-acetylenic ketones with n-3-amidinothioureas. 1. Synthesis and properties of new derivatives of 1,3-thiazine

[4-Phenyl-2H-1,3-thiazin]-2-ylideneguanidinium perchlorate or acetoxytrifluoroborate respectively was obtained from the reaction of benzoylacetylene with N-amidinothiourea in glacial AcOH in the presence of an equimolar quantity of HClO₄ or BF₃Et₂O. These compounds underwent hydrolysis at the amidine unit on treatment with acid or base. For example, the perchlorate on heating in HClO₄ was converted into 2-imino-4-phenyl-2H-1,3-thiazinium perchlorate, while treatment with aqueous NaOH in DMSO gave the free base - 6-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrimidine-2-thione.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1848–1852, December, 2004.

Synthesis of Terpenoids. III. Total Syntheses of α-Bisabololone and α-Trans-Atlantone

Recently, anions of “protected” cyanohydrins have been introduced as useful acyl carbanions equivalents in organic synthesis². Continuing with our interest in the use of these reagents for natural product syntheses³, we wish to report a short total synthesis of the sesquiterpene α-bisabololone 1 ^4,5, whose salient feature is a novel application of “protected” cyanohydrins to the synthesis of β-hydroxy ketones.     

Synthesis and anion-exchange reactions of a new anionic clay, α-magnesium hydroxide

A new anionic clay, α-magnesium hydroxide, was synthesized by hydrolysis of magnesium acetate in propylene glycol. The structure of this α-hydroxide is similar to that of hydrotalcites. It consists of positively charged magnesium hydroxide layers arising out of partial protonation of the hydroxyl groups of the [Mg(OH)(2)] layers and loosely held anions in the interlayer region. As expected it ages readily in water to give β-magnesium hydroxide, brucite. While anion-exchange reactions of α-magnesium hydroxide could not be carried out in aqueous medium a number of anion-exchange reactions could be carried out successfully in ethanol medium.     

Synthesis of 1,3-Diols: Its Application to the Synthesis of α-Lipoic Acid

1,3-diols have been prepared from monosubstituted olefins, and the utility of this method in the synthesis of α-lipoic acid has been described.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of 1,3-diketonate derivatives ofortho-palladated α-arylalkylamines

Synthesis of acetylacetonate derivatives of a series ofortho-palladated complexes based on secondary and tertiary -arylalkylamines was described. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by IR, UV,¹H NMR, and CD spectra. Fragmentation processes of these complexes and some model compounds were studied by mass spectrometry (EI). An unusual rearrangement of a molecular ion involving migration of the hydrogen atom from the alkylaminoalkyl group to the palladium atom to form a hydride intermediate followed by the elimination of PdH was observed. The rearrangement occurs through isomerization of the ²-O,O-coordinated -diketonate ligand to the ¹-C-bonded diketonyl form to give the coordinationally unsaturated metal center.Translated fromIsvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An approach to eriolanin. Synthesis of α-methylene lactones of trans-1,3-dihydroxycyclohexanes

Synthesis of new α-hydroxyphosphonates and α-acetoxyphosphonates

A series of new α-hydroxyphosphonate (5–14) have been synthesized in high yields by reaction of β-chloro-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (1–4) and trialkyl phosphite in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. In addition, compounds (5–14) were reacted with acetic anhydride in DBU to give the new α-acetoxyphosphonate derivatives (15–23). All these phosphonates (5–23) were obtained as mixtures of two (E and Z) isomers and fully characterized by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) NMR, IR spectroscopy and HRMS.     

1,3-Diphenylpropan-1,3-diamines IX. reaction of α-chlorooxime ethers with α-lithiobenzylamines

Summary The carbanions of the benzylamine derivatives1–4 have been reacted with -chlorooxime ether5 in order to get precursors of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-diamines. Isonitrile1 afforded the expected result, whereas lithiated benzamide2 underwent oxidative dimerization and transmetallated chlorooxime derivative5. Isoxazolidine3 gave the condensation product21 as a mixture of diastereomers; treatment of imine4 led to the desired amine-oxime15 in low yield.Dedicated with warm regards to Prof. Dr.J. Knabe, Saarbrücken, Germany, on the occasion of his 75^th birthday     

Fluorohalogenation of gem-Difluoroalkenes: Synthesis and Applications of α-Trifluoromethyl Halides

A novel strategy for 1,2-dihalogenation of alkenes is reported that occurs through a sequential nucleophilic halide addition and electrophilic halogenation. By trapping the in situ generated unstable α-trifluoromethyl carbanion intermediates derived from the nucleophilic fluoride addition to electron-poor gem-difluoroalkenes, this fluorohalogenation of gem-difluoroalkenes with electrophilic haloalkynes affords various useful α-trifluoromethyl halides in high yields. A pesticidal active compound and various attractive trifluromethylated molecules could be smoothly synthesized from these obtained α-trifluoromethyl halides.     

Rearrangement of 1-oxa-2-azoles. 5. Synthesis and rearrangement of α-oximodimethyl-hydrazones of 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl-3-glyoxal

The acid halides of 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-carbohydroxamic acids react with formaldehyde dimethylhydrazone to give the corresponding -oximohydrazones, which with hydrochloric acid rearrange to yield the dimethylhydrazone of 3-amino-4-formylfurazane. In the absence of an acid catalyst, the 5-trifluoromethyl derivative undergoes a rearrangement to give 1-dimethylamino-4-nitroso-3-trifluoroacetamidopyrazole.For Communication 4, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 976–978, July, 1991.     

Two-fragment α-adrenolytics. 4. Synthesis of phosphorylated derivatives of 2-aryloxyethylamines and N-phenylpiperazine

The reactions of 3-chloropropylphosphonates, 3-chloropropylthiophosphonates, or 3-chloropropylphosphinates with 2-aryloxyethylamines or N-phenylpiperazine afford the corresponding 3-(2-aryloxyethylamino)propylphosphonates and -phosphinates or 3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propylphosphonates and -phosphinates. The compounds obtained exhibit -adrenolytic and hypotensive activities, the latter being found to depend on the substituents at the P atom.
