Eco-friendly synthesis of 2-azetidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide

Abstract

2-Azetidinones possess broad and potent activity due to presence of β-lactam ring and has been established as one of the biologically important scaffolds. The synthesis of N-(4-aryl-2-oxoazetidinone)-isonicotinamide by novel methods of stirring and sonication are described. The conventional method for synthesis of 2-azetidinones involves use of Dean–Stark water separator for the removal of water from the reaction with long reaction time (12–16 h reflux) at a very low temperature (?70 to ?90°C). The microwave method reported requires inert atmosphere of nitrogen gas for the synthesis of 2-azetidinones. We report herein the synthesis of 2-azetidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide by novel green route methods of sonication and stirring using molecular sieves. Results indicate that higher yields and shorter reaction times can be achieved by employing novel green route methods of synthesis.     

From theoretical calculations to the enantioselective synthesis of a 1,3,4-trisubstituted Gly-derived 2-azetidinone

Theoretical calculations on the transition states of the cyclization of 2S-chloropropionyl amino acid derivatives to the corresponding β-lactams have served to explain the high stereoselectivity of the reaction, and have been the driving force to extend the procedure to the preparation of a Gly-derived 1,3,4-trisubstituted 2-azetidinone in enantiopure form.     

New synthesis of 2-heteroarylperfluoropropionic acids derivatives by reaction of azine N-oxides with hexafluoropropene

Hexafluoropropene reacts with aromatic azine N-oxides under mild conditions to produce fluorides of 2-heteroarylperfluoropropionic acids. The reaction proceeds as 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition followed by spontaneous scission of the N--O bond in the isoxazolidine ring and elimination of HF. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of alcohols or N-alkyl anilines, the in situ formed acyl fluorides give the corresponding esters and amides. They can be also treated separately with nucleophiles to produce the respective acylation products, whereas their hydrolysis leads to unstable carboxylic acids that undergo spontaneous decarboxylation to 1-aryl-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethanes. This new reaction provides a simple and general method of synthesizing 2-heteroarylperfluoropropionic acid derivatives that were previously unknown and unavailable.     

Reactions of methylenecyclopropanes with a diethylzinc-bromoform system, and the utilization for synthesis of a novel cyclopropylidene-nucleoside

Enantioselective synthesis of DIANANE, a novel C2-symmetric chiral diamine for asymmetric catalysis

DIANANE (endo,endo-2,5-diaminonorbornane) is a novel chiral C(2)-symmetric diamine, based on the rigid bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane scaffold. Schiff-base ligands derived from DIANANE have already found use in asymmetric catalysis, e.g., in the highly enantioselective Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction. We herein describe a practical synthesis of enantiomerically pure DIANANE, starting from norbornadiene in four steps: (i) Pd-MOP catalyzed Hayashi-hydrosilylation/Tamao-Fleming oxidation, (ii) oxidation to norbornane-2,5-dione, (iii) endo-selective reductive amination with benzylamine, and (iv) hydrogenolytic debenzylation. None of the steps involves chromatographic purification. For the Tamao-Fleming oxidation, the use of hydrogen peroxide in the form of its urea clathrate instead of aqueous solution proved beneficial. By the above sequence, enantiomerically pure (ee >or=99%) DIANANE was obtained from norbornadiene in 40-50% overall yield. The relative and absolute configuration of DIANANE was confirmed by X-ray crystallography of the DIANANE bis-tosylamide, and of its bis-camphorsulfonamide. Furthermore, the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the Schiff-base ligand derived from DIANANE and 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic aldehyde are reported.     

A facile and expeditious approach for the synthesis of 2-azetidinone derivatives via a multicomponent reaction

Abstract  

New organic reactions allow chemical transformations which were previously unknown. Therefore, new reactions are important contributions to progress in the field of organic synthesis. Herein, we are reporting a simple, one-pot, efficient three-component synthesis of novel 3-chloro-4-[4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-ylmethoxy)phenyl]-1-phenylazetidin-2-one derivatives using 4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-ylmethoxy)benzaldehydes, anilines, and chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethyl amine as a catalyst under different conditions. Taking into account environmental and economic considerations, the protocol presented here has the merits of simple operation, convenient work-up, being environmentally benign, and providing good yields. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis.     

Reactions with α-substituted cinnamonitriles. A novel synthesis of hexa-substituted pyridines

Whereas acetoacetanilide (II) reacted with α-cyano- and α-benzoylcinnamonitrile derivatives Ia-e to give hexa-substituted pyridines III and V, it reacted with α-carboxamido- and α-thiocarboxamidocinnammonitrile derivatives If-h to afford penta-substituted pyridines VI. One mole of acetonedicarboxylic acid dianilide (VII) reacted with two moles of each of α-cyano- and α-thiocarboxamidocinnamonitriles Ia,b,f,g to yield the dipyridyl ketones VIII and IX, respectively. On the other hand, α-benzoyl- and α-ethoxycarbonylcinnamonitriles Ic,d,i,j reacted with VII in equimolecular ratio to give the pyran derivaties X and XI, respectively. Several schemes were proposed to illustrate reactions steps. The structures of the synthesized compounds were proved by chemical and spectral methods.
