Reduction of the 1,2,5-thiadiazole ring of 3,6:12,15-di-1,4-benzo[6.6](3,4)-1,2,5-thiadiazolo- and 3,5:11,13-di-1,3-benzo-[6.6](3,4)-1,2,5-thiadiazolocyclophanes. Selective preparation of cis- and trans-[23]cyclophane-1,2-diacetoamide

The effect of the [2.2.2]cyclophane ring structure on the reduction of 1,2,5-thiadiazole ring incorporated in cyclophanes 1a-c and 2a-c was investigated. When reduced by sodium metal in ethanol followed by acetylation, para[2³]cyclophane 1 gave a mixture of the expected cis- and trans-diamides, 3 and 4 , in which 4 was the major product. On the other hand, reduction of 1 with lithium aluminum hydride proceeded in a cis-selective manner and gave 3 as a major product after a treatment of the reduced products with acetic anhydride. The reduction of metacyclophane 2 , which is less strained than 1 , proceeded exclusively in cis-fashion and a subsequent treatment of the reduction product with acetic anhydride gave only cis-diamide 6 .     

Preparation of [23]cyclophane-1,2-diones by the reaction of 3,6;12,15-Di-1,4-benzo[6.6](3,4)-1,2,5-thiadiazolocyclophanes with grignard reagents

3,6;12,15-Di-1,4-benzo[6.6](3,4)-1,2,5-thiadiazolocyclophanes 1a-c were prepared starting from 3,4-di-p-tolyl-1,2,5-thiadiazole 3 and converted into [2³]cyclophane-1,2-diones 2a-c by the reaction with Grignard reagents.     

The chemistry of 1,2,5-thiadiazoles V. Synthesis of 3,4-diamino-1,2,5-thiadiazole and [1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines

The o-diamine, 3,4-diamino-1,2,5-thiadiazole ( 2 ), was synthesized from 3,4-dichloro-1,2,5-thiadiazole ( 3 ) hy three methods. Aqueous glyoxal cyclized 2 into [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4–6]-pyrazine ( 14 ). 3,4-Dichloro-1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxide ( 18 ) reaeted with 2 to give 1,3-dihydro-bis[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-b:3′,4′-e]pyrazine 2,2-dioxide ( 19 ). The reaction of 2 with selenium oxyehloride led to [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-c] [1,2,5]thiadiazole ( 12 ). Ring closure of 2,3-diaminoquinoxaline ( 4 ) with thionyl chloride or selenium oxychloride gave [1,2,5]thiadiazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline ( 21 ) and [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline ( 22 ), respectively. Sulfurous acid reduced 21 to the 4,9-dihydro derivative 23 , which was reoxidized to 21 with chloranil. Aqueous hase hydrolyzed 21 to 4 via the hydrated intermediate 24 . Aqueous glyoxal cyclized 4 to the covalent hydrate of pyrazino[2,3-b]quinoxaline ( 26 ), 27 , which was dehydrated to 26 . Compound 26 underwent rapid addition of two alcohols in a process analogous to covalent hydration.     

Heterocycles with a Benzothiadiazeypine Moiety. I. Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2-b]-s-triazolo[3,4-d] [1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 5,5-Dioxide

Condensation of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride with 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and 18-crown-6 furnished 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole. Reduction of nitro group to amino and subsequent cyclization by heating the aminoester in the presence of 2-hydroxypyridine as a bifuctional catalyst led to 11-oxo(10H)-pyrrolo[1,2-b] [1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 5,5-dioxide. Treatment of the latter compound with di-4-morpholinylphosphinic chloride gave the corresponding phosphinyloxyimine, which on reacting with formylhydrazine underwent intramolecular cyclization to afford the title tetracyclic ring.     

Synthesis of low band gap [1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline and pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline derivatives by selective reduction of benzo[1,2-c;4,5-c']bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole

The reduction of a dithienylbenzobisthiadiazole derivative TBBT can be performed selectively so as to afford either [1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline (TQ) or pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline (PQ) derivatives. This approach offers a much milder, shorter, and more efficient route to PQ and TQ derivatives than current methods. It is further shown how the optical and electrochemical properties of PQ and TQ can be tuned by choice of appropriate substituents.     

Heterocycles with a benzothiadiazepine moiety. 3. Synthesis of imidazo[5,1-d]pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 9,9-dioxide

The synthesis of imidazo[5,1-d]pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 9,9-dioxide ( 5 ), a novel sulfur-containing tetracyclic benzodiazepine, is reported starting from pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 5,5-diox-ide ( 6 ) by cycloaddition of tosylmethyl isocyanide to the azomethine double bond. Pyrrolobenzothiadiazepine 6 was obtained by iron powder/acetic acid reduction of 1-(2-nitrobenzenefulfonyl)pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde ( 7 ) and subsequent ring closure of intermediate aminoaldehyde or by cyclization of 1-(2-formamidobenzene-sulfonyl)pyrrole ( 8 ) with phosphorus oxychloride via a Bischler-Napieralski reaction. Formylation of 1-(2-ami-nobenzenesulfonyl)pyrrole with acetic-formic anhydride gave 8. The structure of 5 was confirmed by oxidation with activated manganese dioxide of dihydro derivative 9 , obtained through cyclization of 11-amino-methyl-10,11-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine 5,5-dioxide ( 10 ) with triethyl orthoformate. The last compound was prepared alternatively by catalytic reduction of nitro derivative 11 , obtained by addition of nitromethane to pyrrolobenzothiadiazepine 6 , or by lithium aluminum hydride/sulfuric acid reduction of amide 13 , synthesized starting from ethyl 10,11-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepine-11-carboxyl-ate 5,5-dioxide.     

Triple ring contraction of a [2+2] macrocyclic ligand

Schiff base condensation of 2,6‐diformylpyridine and 1,3‐diaminopropan‐2‐ol in the presence of a Ba^II template ion yields a complex containing a [2+2] macrocycle, [Ba₂(μ_1,2‐ClO₄)₂(H₂L1)₂], where H₂L1 is 3,7,15,19,25,26‐hexaazatricyclo[19.3.1.1^9,13]hexacosa‐1(25),2,7,9(26),10,12,14,19,21,23‐decaene‐5,17‐diol. On transmetallation with Cu^II cations, the macrocycle undergoes three successive ring contractions, yielding crystals of (acetato‐κO)[26,28‐dioxa‐3,7,15,19,25,27‐hexaazahexacyclo[19.3.1.1^2,5.1^9,13.1^17,10.0^3,8]octacosa‐1(25),9(27),10,12,14,21,23‐heptaene‐κ⁵N]copper(II) perchlorate, [Cu(CH₃COO)(C₂₀H₂₂N₆O₂)]ClO₄ or [Cu(CH₃COO)(L2)]ClO₄, in which the macrocycle ring size has been reduced from 20 members in H₂L1 to 16 in L2.     

Synthesis and structures of thieno[2,3-b]thiophene incorporated [3.3]dithiacyclophanes. Enhanced first hyperpolarizability in an unsymmetrically polarized cyclophane

Dithiacyclophanes incorporating thieno[2,3-b]thiophene have been synthesized, in order to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of donor-acceptor cyclophane 7. Cyclophane 7 displayed significantly higher first hyperpolarizability β (21.6 × 10⁻³⁰ esu) compared to model 10 (9.58 × 10⁻³⁰esu). Relatively higher β in 7 presumably arises from an extra electron redistribution arising from through-space charge transfer, a feature lacking in 10. Moreover, the thermal decomposition temperature of 7 (300 °C) is higher than that reported for the NLO prototype DANS (295 °C).     

The chemistry of 1,2,5-thiadiazoles,IV. Benzo[1,2-c:3,4-c′:5,6-c″] tris [1,2,5] thiadiazole

Benzo [1,2-c:3,4-c′:5,6-c″] tris [1,2,5] thiadiazole (1) was synthesized from benzo [1,2-c:3,4-c′] - bis [1,2,5] thiadiazole (11) . Nitration of 11 gave compound 15 , which on direct amination gave nitroamine 17 . Reduction of 17 gave diamine 18 , and cyclization of 18 with thionyl chloride gave 1 . Diamine 18 was also cyclized with selenium oxychloride, glyoxal, 9,10-phenanthrene-quinone, and formic acid to give the compounds 4, 5, 19 , and 6 , respectively. A new procedure for the preparation of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (7) from o-phenylenediamine was used.

Unusual schmidt rearrangement of 7,7a,8,9,10,12-hexahydro benzo[h]pyrrolo[1,2-b]-isoquinoline-7,10-dione

The reaction of 7,7a,8,9,10,12-hexahydrobenzo[h]pyrrolo [1,2-b]isoquinoline-7,10-dione 2 with sodium azide in sulfuric acid afforded the unexpected cyano derivative 5 . The proposed structure for 5 is supported by ¹³C nmr, ¹H nmr and HMBC spectra.     

Transformations of the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine ring system into imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines,imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines and 2-oxa-6a, 10c-diazaaceanthrylenes

Transformations of methyl 3-dimethylamino-2-(1-methoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-yl)acrylate with some cyanomethylenecarbonyl group containing compounds or cyanamide into imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines, irmdazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines and 2-oxa-6a, 10c-diazaaceanthrylenes are described.     

Stereospecific [1,2]-rearrangement of a spirocyclic ammonium ylide with ring expansion sequence

Enantiomerically pure bicyclic 1,4-oxazepinone was obtained by the Cu(II)-catalyzed decomposition of an α-diazo carbonyl compound tethered to a chiral morpholinone, through the cascade evolution of the spirocyclic ammonium ylide formed. LiAlH₄ reduction and transesterification of the lactone moiety of the oxazepinone afforded pure chiral pyrrolidine and 3-prolinone bicyclic hemiacetal, respectively, both bearing a quaternary stereocentre.
