Synthese und Reaktionsverhalten von 3-(Bis(alkylthio)methylen)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-on-und 2-(Bis(alkylthio)methylen)-3(2H)-benzofuranon-Derivaten

Summary 3(Bis(alkylthio)methylene)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-ones2a–e and 2-(bis(alkylthio)methylene)-3(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives4a–c are obtained by reaction of phthalides1a–d or 3(2H)-benzofuranone (coumaranone3), respectively, with carbon disulfide under basic conditions followed by alkylation. The reaction behaviour of the new compounds2 and4 is investigated. 2-((2-Dimethylthio-1-oxo)ethyl)benzoic acid N,N-dimethylamide (7a) and 2-((2-dimethylthio-1-oxo)ethyl)-benzoic acid 2-methylpiperidide (7b) are surprisingly formed instead of the methylthio substitution products by treatment of2a with the corresponding amine in the presence of aluminum chloride.

Quantum chemical study of the transformation of 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides by protic acids: Tandem hydride transfer/cyclization mechanism

The geometric parameters, the charge distribution, and the energetics of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and their conjugated acids were studied by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The mechanism of the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence, which occurs after protonation of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides, was analyzed. The investigation of the potential energy surface for the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization of the iminium cation that formed upon protonation revealed that the hydride transfer followed by intramolecular cyclization at position 7 of the indole fragment in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)maleimide is the preferable process, unlike alternative intramolecular cyclization involving the cationic center at the C(2) atom of the indole fragment and the benzene ring of the N-ethylaniline fragment of the indoleninium cation in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimide. A study of the key intermediates of the assumed reaction mechanism demonstrated that these intermediates are actually stationary points on the potential energy surface (minima and transition states).

The novel intermediate 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethanol or 2-[2′-(1-hydroxy-1-(p-fluorophenyl)ethyl]pyridine and the corresponding novel dehydration compound 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene or 2-[p-fluorophenylvinyl]pyridine were obtained from the condensation reaction of p-fluorophenylaldehyde and 2-picoline under catalyst-and solvent-free conditions. The intermediate 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethanol was obtained at 42 h reaction time and temperature of 120°C, respectively. ¹H-NMR, IR spectroscopic data of the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethanol clearly showed the presence of the-CH₂-CHOH-group. The compound was obtained as a white powder with m.p. 121–122°C and a yield of 8%. For 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethene, the reaction conditions were similar, but the reaction temperature was increased to yield the double bond in the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene. At the reaction temperature of 140°C, the compound was a slightly brown powder with a m.p. of 78°C and yield of 18%. ¹H-NMR, IR spectroscopic data for the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene showed the presence of a double bond in trans configuration (-CH=CH-), characteristic of a styrylpyridine.

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.

Ligational behaviour of thiosemicarbazide and thiosemicarbazone-(III): Tetragonal complexes of cobalt(II) derived from 4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazide and 1-(-) furyl-4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazone

A number of new complexes of cobalt(II) have been prepared with 4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazide (BTSC) and 1-(-)furyl-4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazone (FBTS) which conform to the general formula CoL ₂ X ₂ (whereL=BTSC andFBTS andX=Cl, Br, I, NO₃ and NCS). These have been characterized by chemical analyses and physical measurements. The tetragonal symmetry has been proposed on the basis of electronic spectral studies for all these complexes. The explanation for the slightly lower magnetic moments for cobalt(II) complexes has been sought in the possible presence of low symmetry component. The tetragonal radial parametersDq(E),Dq(A),Dt andDs and molecular orbital parameters d and d have been evaluated. The S–N, bidentate nature of the ligands and the presence of the various anions in the coordination sphere have been confirmed on the basis of additional Co–N, Co–S and Co–X frequencies in the far infrared spectra of the complexes. The nitrato and thiocyanato groups act as monodentate and are coordinated through oxygen and nitrogen atoms, respectively.

HPLC Enantioseparation of 1-(α-Aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol and 2-(α-Aminobenzyl)-1-naphthol Analogs on a β-Cyclodextrin-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

The enantiomers of 1-(α-aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol and 2-(α-aminobenzyl)-1-naphthol analogs were separated isothermally on a 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (Cyclobond DMP), with an n-hexane/alcohol modifier as mobile phase. Optimization of the separation was achieved by variation of combinations of the polar mobile phase additives ethanol and methanol. The nature and position of the α-aminobenzyl substituent of the 1- and 2-naphthol analogs influenced the retention and the selectivity.     

Synthesis of isomeric 3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins and their S-methylated derivatives. Molecular and crystal structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoin and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one

Three procedures were used for the synthesis of -, , and -pyridyl-substituted (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins: the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin with the corresponding aldehyde in AcOH in the presence of AcONa, the two-step one-pot synthesis with the use of the same starting compounds, and three-component condensation of aryl isothiocyanate, glycine, and aldehyde in AcOH. Alkylation of the resulting thiohydantoins with iodomethane in the presence of a base afforded the corresponding S-methylated derivatives, viz., 2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones. The structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thioxoimidazolin-4-one and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and tautomeric transformations of 2-(tert-butyl)-1,2,4-benzotriazine-3(2H)-thiones

Treatment of 2-(tert-butyl)-1,2,3,4-benzotetrazinium tetrafluoroborates with sodium thiocyanate afforded 2-(tert-butylazo)phenyl isothiocyanates 3, which exist in equilibrium with 2-(tert-butyl)-1,2,4-benzotriazine-3(2H)-thiones 3′. The equilibrium depends on the substituents R in the benzene ring: the percentage of the open isomer 3 is about 20% for R = H or Me; for R = Cl or Br, the equilibrium is completely shifted to cyclic isomer 3′. The equilibrium is slow on the time scale of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR experiments. For compounds 3a/3′a (R = H), the spectra at 24 °C show two sets of signals, while those at 0 °C contain only signals for isomer 3′a. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
