The 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 3-Arylsydnone-4-Carbonitrile Oxides with Alkenes

3-Arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides may undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with alkenes to produce the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-substituted-isoxazolin-3-yl)sydnones. The direct reaction of 3-arylsydone-4-carbohydroximic acid chlorides with alkenes may also give the same products, and with higher yield.     

The 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 3-Arylsydnone-4-Carbonitrile Oxides with Nitriles

3-Arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides (2), which are generated in situ by thermal dehydrochlorination of the corresponding hydroximic acid chlorides (1), undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with sydnone-4-carbonitriles (6) to give 3-aryl-4-[5-(3-arylsydnonyl)-1,2, 4-oxadiazol-3-yl] sydnones (9). These nitrile oxides (2) also react with alkyl- and arylnitriles to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products.     

The Synthesis and Reactions of N-Hydroxy-3-Arylsydnone-4-Carboxamide Oximes

N-Hydroxy-3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (7) were prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbohydroximic acid chlorides (6) and hydroxylamine in high yield. The chemical reactivity of compound (2) is somewhat different from 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (2) in that the former compounds reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalyst to give 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (5) and 3-aryl-4-(5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (3).

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.

Under various basic solutions and reaction durations, 3-substituted 4-formyIsydnones and nitroalkanes containing α-active hydrogen (e.g. nitromethane and nitroethane) are converted to β-nitroalcohols, nitroalkenes and dinitroalkanes. β-Nitroalcohols are obtained only by electrochemical reaction on an electrogenerated base (EGB).

Synthesis of 1-O-R-5-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosides with (CH3)2As and (CH3)2AsO as substituents at the 5-position and a methyl or 2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl group as the aglycone in the 1-position

Six arsenic-containing β-D -ribofuranosides, including the naturally occurring (2′R)-dimethyl[1-O-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl)-5-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranos-5-yl]arsine oxide, were prepared in multi-step reactions from D -ribose and tetramethyldiarsine.

The synthesis provides a viable route for the preparation of multigram quantities of the natural product.

The 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines undergo one-pot palladium-mediated C-I and C-H bond activation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with arylboronic acids under anhydrous conditions to afford mixture of 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines (minor) and 2-aryl-4-([(1,1′-biaryl)-2-yl]amino)quinoline derivatives (major). The 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines were isolated as major products when 2 M K₂CO₃ was used as a base. A plausible mechanism, which implicates a six-membered palladacycle intermediate is proposed for the formation of the observed mixture of products. The prepared compounds were characterized using a combination of spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques.     

Polymer-Attached Thiazolium Salts-Catalyzed Addition of Aldehydes to α, β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

A homogeneous catalyst, 3-benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolium chloride, for addition of aldehydes to activated double bond, was attached to 20% cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The attached catalysts could be easily removed from the reaction mixture. Polymer-attached thiazolium salts in the presence of triethylamine are active catalysts for addition of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to α,β-unsaturated ketones to yield γ-diketones.     

Study on the interaction among molecules and the determination of DNA by light scattering with a new type rhodanine derivative

In this paper the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and second-order scattering (SOS) spectrums of interaction between deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and 3-(4′-methylphenyl)-5-(2′-sulfophenylazo) rhodanine (4MRASP) in the environment of surface active substance sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were reported. The light scattering intensity of 4MRASP was enhanced obviously and directly proportional to the concentrations of DNA when DNA was present. Based on this, two new determination methods of DNA were established with high sensitivity and selectivity, and the limits of detection were 8.00 and 1.07 ng mL⁻¹. They were applied to the determination of trace amounts of nucleic acid in synthetic and practical samples with satisfactory results. At last, the active mechanism among molecules was studied by ultraviolet spectrum, scattering spectrum and thermodynamics, which showed that the active force was changed from hydrophobic force to electrostatic force before and after SDS was added, and the mechanism of sensitization effect of SDS was proposed.     

Sydnone Compounds. XX. The Synthesis and the Schmidt Reaction of 4-Formyl-3-Arylsydnone

A convenient method to prepare 4-formyl-3-arylsydone (I) from 3-arylsydnone by the Vilsmeier reaction in moderate yields (30%-76%) was carefully investigated. According to the Schmidt reaction, I reacts with sodium azide in concentrated sulfuric acid to produce 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide (II). But 3-arylsydnone-4-carhonitrile (III) is obtained, if dilute sulfuric acid was used instead. When III treates with concentrated sulfuric acid, II is obtained in good yield. The all possible reaction mechanisms are suggested.     

Acid-Base Properties of the Ground and Excited States of Ruthenium(II) Tris(4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine-4-carboxylic Acid)

The acid dissociation constant, pK_a, for the ground and excited states of ruthenium tris(4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine-4-carboxylic acid) complex have been measured. The ground state pK_a obtained from the pH titration curve of the complex absorption at 454 nm was 2.5. The lifetimes of the excited-state for deprotonated and protonated ruthenium complexes are 595 and 150 ns, respectively. The excited-state pK_a* is obtained from the emission titration curve at 630 nm and corrected for the excited-state lifetime to be 4.2. The increase of 1.7 pH units in the acid dissociation constant in the excited-state indicates that the ligand is much more basic in the excited-state. This result confirms the MLCT assignment for the lowest electronic transition of [Ru(mbpyCOOH)₃]²⁺.     

Sydnone Compounds XXX. The Syntheses and Reactions of 3-Aryl-4-Cyanosydnones and 3-Aryl-4-Formylsydnone Oximes

In the presence of pyridine, 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone (II) reacts with hydroxyl-amine hydrochloride to produce 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone oxime (III). This reaction was performed in ethanol solution with reflux or at room temperature; the latter procedure gave an excellent yield (74-98%) and high purity. (III) reacts in acetic anhydride at room temperature to give 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone oxime O-acetate (IV). A convenient method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-4-cyanosydnone (V) is to dehydrate (III) with acetic anhydride at reflux. When (IV) was refluxed with acetic anhydride, (V) was similarly obtained. Another convenient method to prepare (V) from (III), dehydration with thionyl chloride at room temperature, was also investigated.
