Nitration of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoisoquinoline N-oxide with other aromatic substitutions. Isolation and mutagenicity of an α-nitropyridine N-oxide

Treatment of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoisoquinoline N-oxide ( 2 ) with fuming nitric acid afforded 3-nitro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoisoquinoline N-oxide ( 3 ), an example of formation of an α-nitropyridine N-oxide derivative by nitration of N-oxides. Further reaction of 3 resulted in deoxygenation giving 3-nitro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoisoquinoline ( 4 ). No aromatic nitration was observed by similar treatment of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoisoquinoline ( 1 ) or 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinoline N-oxide ( 11 ). Some other aromatic substitutions with 1 and 2 were caried out to obtain mainly the 3-substituted derivatives. Significant mutagenicity of 3 is briefly reported.     

Functionalization of 2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(1 H)-ones by Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

Highly substituted, novel, 8- and 9-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(1H)-ones were obtained by direct nitration of the 7-bromo-5-trifluoroacetyl (or formyl)-substituted tetrahydrobenzodiazepinones. Alkaline and acidic hydrolysis of the novel mononitro derivatives was examined. Semiempirical AM1 calculations of aromatic substituents orientation in the nitration products are presented.     

Functionalization of 2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones by Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

Summary. Highly substituted, novel, 8- and 9-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(1H)-ones were obtained by direct nitration of the 7-bromo-5-trifluoroacetyl (or formyl)-substituted tetrahydrobenzodiazepinones. Alkaline and acidic hydrolysis of the novel mononitro derivatives was examined. Semiempirical AM1 calculations of aromatic substituents orientation in the nitration products are presented.     

Synthesis of nitro-substituted 4-methyl-2,3-dihydro- and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-benzo-2-diazepinones

The nitration of 4-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzo-2-diazepinone gives the 7 nitro derivative. The 8-nitro isomer was obtained from 4-nitro-1,2-phenylenediamine. The catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrobenzodiazepinones gives the 7- and 8-amino derivatives. The nitrobenzodiazepinones exist in the enol form in alkaline media.     

Furopyridines. II. Bromination and nitration of furo[2,3-b]-, furo[3,2-b]-, furo[2,3-c]- and furo[3,2-c]pyridine

In order to reveal the reactivities of furopyridines, we undertook bromination and nitration of four furopyridines ( 1, 2, 3 and 4 ) whose chemical properties had been almost unknown. Bromination of 1, 2, 3 and 4 gave the corresponding trans-2,3-dibromo-2,3-dihydro derivatives 6, 8, 10 and 12 , respectively, which were converted to 3-bromofuropyridines 7, 9, 11 and 13 by treatment with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol. Nitration of 1 with a mixture of fuming nitric acid and sulfuric acid afforded a mixture of addition products 14a, 14b and 14c and 2-nitro derivative 15 . Both 14a and 14b were easily converted to 15 by treatment with sodium bicarbonate. Compound 2 was nitrated to give a mixture of cis- and trans-2-nitro-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro derivative 16a and 16b and 2-nitro derivative 17 . The cis isomer 16a was transformed to the trans isomer 16b by refluxing on silica gel in ethyl acetate. Compound 16b was dehydrated with acetic anhydride to give 17 . Nitration of 3 gave a nitrolic acid derivative 20 . Nitration of 4 gave a mixture of 2-nitro derivative 22 and 3-(trinitromethyl)pyridin-4-ol ( 23 ). The structures of 20 and 23 were established by single crystal X-ray analysis. The differences of behavior observed in these reactions are discussed in connection with the results of the determination of pKa values and the relative reactivities of deuteriodeprotonation of these furopyridines.     

Rearrangement in the series of 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones

4-Acetyl- and 4-succinyl-3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones undergo the rearrangement into (Z)-2-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-ylidene)acetic acids accompanied by the elimination of the acyl groups. The nitration of 3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3,4-dihydro-quinoxalin-2(1H)-one affords 5-nitro- and 7-nitro-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines. The bromination of quinoxalin-2-ones in AcOH gives 3-aryl-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines and the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives, with the former products predominating.     

Zur Synthese sulfonierter Derivate von 2-Fluoranilin

Syntheses of Sulfonated Derivatives of 2-Fluoroaniline Synthesis of 4-amino-3-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 3 ) was achieved in two ways: reaction of 2-fluoroaniline ( 1 ) with amidosulfonic acid and by first conventionally converting 4-nitro-3-fluoroaniline ( 8 ) to 4-nitro-3-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride ( 9 ) followed subsequently by hydrolysis to 3-fluoro-4-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 10 ) and reduction. Hydrogenolysis of 3 gave sulfanilic acid ( 7 ). Both, sulfonation of fluorobenzene ( 6 ) to 4-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 11 ) followed by nitration and sulfonation of 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene ( 12 ) led to 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 13 ). Reduction of 13 gave the isomeric 3-amino-4-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 4 ), which was also obtained both by sulfonation of 1 and by sulfonation of o-fluoroacetanilide ( 14 ) followed by hydrolysis. Selective hydrogenolyses of 2-amino-5-bromo-3-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 15 ), prepared by reaction of 4-bromo-2-fluoroaniline ( 16 ) with amidosulfonic acid, and of 4-amino-2-bromo-5-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 20 ), obtained by sulfonation of 5-bromo-2-fluoroaniline ( 19 ) yielded the isomers 2-amino-3-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 5 ) and 3 , respectively. The fourth isomer, 3-amino-2-fluorobenzenesulfonic acid ( 2 ), was synthesized by sulfur dioxide treatment of the diazonium chloride derived from 2-fluoro-3-nitroaniline ( 21 ) to 2-fluoro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride ( 22 ), followed by hydrolysis to 2-fluoro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 23 ) and final Béchamp-reduction.     

Quinoline derivatives

A number of substituted tetrahydroquinolines were dehydrogenated for the first time to the corresponding quinoline derivatives by means of chloranil and a cupric chloride-pyridine complex. It is shown that the tendency for dehydrogenation decreases on passing from 6-formyl- to 6-bromo-, 6-nitro-, and 7-nitrotetrahydroquinolines. The nitration of N-acyltetrahydroquinolines (where the acyl group is formyl, acetyl, or benzoyl) was studied in detail. The possible formation of a 7-nitro isomer in addition to a 6-nitro isomer was demonstrated, and conditions which make it possible to vary the ratio of the yields of these isomers were found.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1663–1666, December, 1970.     

Directive nature of the nitration of the oximes of 2-acetylthiophene and 2-propionylthiophene

A method of obtaining pure 2-acetyl- and 2-propionyl-5-nitrothiophenes by nitrating the oximes of the corresponding ketones with the subsequent isolation from the mixtures formed of the pure oximes of the 2-acyl-5-nitrothiophenes and their saponification has been developed. The pure 2-acetyl- and 2-propionyl-4-nitrothiophenes have been isolated by crystallization from the products of the nitration of the corresponding ketones, which form in each case a mixture of the corresponding 2-acyl-4-nitro- and 2-acyl-5-nitrothiophenes containing about 90% of the 4-nitro isomer.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1483–1486, November, 1973.     

Nitro derivatives of 3-hydroxyquinoline

The nitration of 3-hydroxyquinoline with concentrated nitric acid in sulfuric acid at ?30 to +30°C gives 5-nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline (85–92%) and 7-nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline (7–12%). 4-Nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline is formed in 70% yield by nitration in acetic acid. 4,5-Dinitro-3-hydroxyquinoline is formed by further nitration of 4- and 5-nitro-3-hydroxyquinolines.     

Synthesis and nitration of NH- and N-vinyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines

It has been shown that the most efficient catalysts for the synthesis of 4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine from 1,2,5-trimethylpyridin-4-one and acetylene under Trofimov conditions are rubidium and potassium hydroxides. Use of Triton B or a mixture of trimethylbenzylammonium chloride with rubidium hydroxide as catalyst gives O-alkylated oxime. Their configurations and conformations were established through separation of the individual isomers of 1-vinyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines. Acetyl nitrate nitration of the cis isomer of this compound gave the 2- and 3-nitro derivatives. Similar nitration of 4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine gave the 2-nitro-7-hydroxy derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1375–1380, October, 1991.     

Mono- and Dinitro-BN-Naphthalenes: Formation and Characterization

Mono- and dinitro-BN-naphthalenes, i.e., 1-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 1,6-dinitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, and 1,8-dinitro-BNN, were generated in the nitration of 9,10-BN-naphthalene (BNN), a boron–nitrogen (BN) bond-embedded naphthalene, with AcONO₂ and NO₂BF₄ in acetonitrile. The nitrated products were isolated and characterized by NMR, GC-MS, IR, and X-ray single crystallography. The effects of the nitration on the electron density and aromaticity of BNN were evaluated by B-11 NMR analysis and HOMA calculations.     

Bemerkungen zur Synthese von 3-Aminotoluol-5-sulfonsäure und 2-Aminotoluol-3-sulfonsäure

Some comments on the synthesis of 3-aminotoluene-5-sulfonic acid and 2-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid. Sulfonation of 3-nitrotoluene ( 5 ) yields predominantly the unsymetrical isomer 5-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid ( 7 ), and lesser amounts of 5-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 6 ), previously reported as the major product. The desired 5-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 3 ) was synthesized in preparative amounts from 6-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid (4) via the following sequence of reactions: diazotation and Sandmeyer replacement of 6-chlorotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 13 ), nitration of the sulfonyl chloride 14 under suitable conditions to give isomer free 6-chloro-5-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonyl chloride ( 15 ), hydrolysis to the sulfonic acid 16 and finally, simultaneous hydrogenolysis and reduction to 3 . The isomeric 7 was unequivocally prepared from 2-amino-5-nitrotoluene ( 9 ) via two routes: (1) diazotation, Sandmeyer thiocyanatation to 5-nitro-2-thiocyanatotoluene ( 10 ), Na₂S reduction to the di(2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-disulfide ( 11 ), treatment with nitric acid and chlorine to give 5-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonyl chloride ( 12 ) and finally alkaline hydrolysis to 7 ; (2) Meerwein's SO₂ treatment of the diazonium salt derived from 9 leads directly to 12 and thence to 7 . 2-Aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 1 ) was prepared from the key intermediate 3-amino-2-nitrotoluene ( 18 ) via the same two routes used to prepare 7 from 9 . Both reaction sequences provided 2-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonly chloride, the hydrolysis product of which was reduced to 1 . Intermediate 18 was prepared in the following four steps from m-toluic acid ( 19 ): nitration to the 2-nitroderivative ( 20 ), whose acid chloride ( 21 ) was converted to 2-nitro-m-toluamide ( 22 ), and Hoffmann rearrangement to 18 .     

Nitroformonitrile oxide

Two methods for the generation of nitroformonitrile oxide (NFNO) were proposed, namely, by dehydration of dinitromethane and by nitration of 2-methyl-1-nitro-1-propene. NFNO was identified as its cyclodimerization product, dinitrofuroxan.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 722–726, April, 1995.     

Synthesis and study of thermal stability of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole N-nitroxy-and N-azidomethyl derivatives

A method for the preparation of new 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole derivatives has been suggested based on modification of the N-hydroxymethyl group by nitration and nucleophilic substitution reactions. Thermal stability of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole N-nitroxy- and N-azidomethyl derivatives, as well as of dinitrates, 5,5′-dinitro-2,2 ′-bisnitroxymethyl-2 H,2′H-3,3 ′-bi(1,2,4-triazole) and -(nitromethylene)bis(1,2,4-triazole), has been studied.     

Kettenverlängerung funktionalisierter Alkanone durch Umlagerung

Chain Expansion of Functionalized Alkanones by Rearrangement Reactions In analogy to the transamidation reactions which were published earlier a method is described to prolong aliphatic C-chains by two or four C-atoms. 1,3-Diketones or 2-nitro alkanones which are monosubstituted at C(2) are condensed with e.g. methyl vinyl ketone. The reaction product is transformed to its chain-prolonged isomer in the presence of strong base via a 4- or 6-membered intermediate. The most effective reagent for the Michael reaction is methyl 3-oxo-4-pentenoate ( 20 ). In this case it was possible to convert 3-nitro-2-butanone ( 21 ) to methyl 2-acetyl-6-nitro-3-oxoheptanoate ( 26 ) in 82% yield.     

Aminomethylation of 2-(2-furyl)imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridine

The aminomethylation (morpholino- and piperidinomethylation) of 2-(2-furyl)imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridine proceeds primarily at the 3 position of the imidazopyridine system at equimolecular ratios of the reagents, but also proceeds at the 5 position of the furan ring when there is a slight excess of formaldehyde and amine. The structure of the product of monomorpholinomethylation was proved by nitration to give a mononitro derivative that was identical to the 3-morpholinomethyl-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine prepared by the morpholinomethylation of 2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine. Thin-layer chromatography and IR and UV spectroscopy were used to prove the structures.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 818–821, June, 1971.     

Synthesis of enantiomers of 6-nitro- and 6-amino-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines

Enantiomers of 2-methyl-6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline have been obtained by kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline in acylation with acyl chlorides of N-protected amino acids followed by regioselective nitration of the diastereoisomeric amides and acidic hydrolysis. The introduction of a trifluoroacetyl protecting group into the position 1 of the enantio pure nitro compound followed by the reduction led to (S)-6-amino-2-methyl-1-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydroquinoline in a high yield.     

Theoretical conformational analysis of substituted nitroethenes in solution

Theoretical conformational analysis of 1-nitro- and 1-bromo-1-nitro-2-(trichloromethyl)ethenes dissolved in methylene chloride and benzene was carried out by the B3LYP/6-31G* method. The calculated structures of these compounds were found to nicely fit experiment: Both in the gas phase and in solution, 1-nitro-(2-trichloromethyl)ethene is an E isomer, while its bromine-containing analog is a Z isomer.     

Transformations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">para</Emphasis>-Substituted Benzylcyclopropanes,Allylbenzenes, and Diphenylmethanes under Nitration with Nitric Acid in Acetic Anhydride

Electrophilic nitration of benzylcyclopropanes, allylbenzenes, and diphenylmethanes containing ortho, para-orienting substituents in the para position of the benzene ring results mainly in replacement of the cyclopropylmethyl, allyl, or benzyl group, respectively (ipso substitution). The nitration of 4-cyclopropylallylbenzene is not accompanied by nitrodealkylation, and the products are only 2- and 3-nitro-4-cyclopropylallylbenzenes.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2005, pp. 415–424.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Mochalov, Gazzaeva, Fedotov, Archegov, Trofimova, Shabarov, Zefirov.
