Synthesis of Substituted 1,6-Methano[10]annulenes by Cycloadditions of 1H-Cyclopropabenzene Diels-Alder reactions of 1H-cyclopropabenzene ( 1 ) with electron-poor dienes, leading to substituted 1,6-methano[10]annulenes, are described.     

The oxidative coupling of indole with some phenolic compounds,naphthols and catechols

The oxidative coupling of indole with three naphthols, 2-naphthol, 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene gave 1,1-bis(3′-indolyl)-2(1H)naphthalenone, 1,1-bis(3′-indolyl)-3-hydroxy-2(1H)naphthalenone and 1,1-bis(3′-indolyl)-7-hydroxy-2(1H)naphthalenone, respectively. The coupling of indole with protocatechuic aldehyde gave bis-(3-indolyl)-(3′,4′-di-hydroxyphenyl)methane and that of indole with homocatechol gave 3-(2′-methyl-3′,4′-di-hydroxyphenyl)indole.     

Synthesis of 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide and 2H-1,4-thiazin-3-(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide,structural analogs of uracil

The synthesis of 1,4-thiazine 1-oxide and 1,1-dioxide analogs of the antibiotic emimycin is described. Reaction of methylthioglycolate with 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane gave methyl (2,2-diethoxyethylthio)acetate ( 2 ). Treatment of 2 with methanolic ammonia followed by cyclization furnished 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one ( 5 ). Oxidation of 5 with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid converted it to 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide ( 6 ). Oxidation of 2 with potassium permanganate, followed by treatment with methanolic ammonia, and cyclization gave 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide.     

1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides 3. Reactions of 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide with chloroalkyl isocyanates

Reactions of 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide ( 1 ) with allyl, methyl, 2-chloroethyl aor 3-chloropropyl isocyanates gave 2-(methylureido)-, 2-(allylureido)-, 2-(2′-chloroethylureido)- and 2-(3′-chloropropylureido)-benzene sulfonamides 3a,b and 7a,b in excellent yields. Treatment of 3a,b at refluxing temperature of DMF afforded 2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide ( 4 ) in good yield. However, when compounds 7a,b were refluxed in 2-propanol, 3-(2′-aminoethoxy)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 11a ) and 3-(3′-aminopropoxy)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 11b ) were obtained in a form of the hydrochloride salts 10a,b in 87% and 78% yields respectively. Heating 11b in ethanol gave a dimeric form of 2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide and 3-(3′-aminopropoxy)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 12 ) in 55% yield. Treating of 7a,b or 11a,b with triethylamine at the refluxing temperature of 2-propanol afforded 3-(2′-hydroxyethylamino)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 2a ) and 3-(3′-hydroxypropylamine)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 2b ) via a Smiles rearrangement.

Four new coumarinolignans, antidesmanin A (=7‐(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐10‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐6H‐1,4,5‐trioxaphenanthren‐6‐one; 1 ), antidesmanin B (=3,7‐bis(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐10‐methoxy‐6H‐1,4,5‐trioxaphenanthren‐6‐one; 2 ), antidesmanin C (=2,7‐bis‐(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐10‐methoxy‐6H‐1,4,5‐trioxaphenanthren‐6‐one; 3 ) and antidesmanin D (=2‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐3,7‐bis(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐2,3‐dihydroxy‐10‐methoxy‐6H‐1,4,5‐trioxaphenanthren‐6‐one or 3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐2,7‐bis(1,1‐dimethylallyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐10‐methoxy‐6H‐1,4,5‐trioxaphenanthren‐6‐one; 4 ) have been isolated from the root of the Formosan Antidesma pentandrum var. barbatum. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 – 3 exhibited marginal cytotoxicity against MCF‐7 (breast) and SF‐268 (CNS) cancer cell lines in vitro.

Published data on the synthesis and chemical properties of dihydrothiophen-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide, dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide, 1-benzothiophen-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide, and 1H-isothio-chromen-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide are reviewed. The choice of subjects was based on the presence of identical structural fragments, carbonyl, active methylene, and sulfonyl groups.     

Novel nucleophilic C?C bond‐forming tele‐reaction of imidazole ring

Reaction of 2‐(1‐chloro‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1‐methyl‐1H‐irnidazoles with diethyl methylmalonate in the presence of NaH gave a normal S_N product, 2‐[(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl]‐1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole (2a) , and two tele‐reaction products, 5‐(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐1‐methyl‐2‐(2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1H‐imidazole (3a) and trans‐4,5‐di‐(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐1‐methyl‐2‐(2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1H‐imidazole (4a) in 5, 17 and 70% yields, respectively. The scope and mechanism of this reaction are discussed.     

2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides and their regioselective N4-methylation and -amination

The syntheses of 2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides and 1,1-dioxides is described. The reaction of 1-carbamoyl-2-methylisothioureas 2 with thionyl chloride gave 2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides 3 in high yields. The treatment of 3 with either diazomethane or O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine furnished regioselectively N⁴-methylated and N⁴-aminated 2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides, respectively. Subsequent dimethylamination of 4 followed by oxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid led to 2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxides 6a-c .     

A Ring Enlargement from Seven- to Ten-Membered-Ring sulfonamide derivatives

The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ) with 4,5-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy-1,2-benzothiazepin-3-one 1,1-dioxide ( 4 ) in dioxane at room temperature gave the correspondingly substituted 4H-1,2,5-benzothiadiazecin-6-one 1,1-dioxide 5a in 64% yield (Scheme 2). The structure of this novel ten-membered ring-enlargement product was established by X-ray crystallography (Fig.). Under more vigorous conditions (refluxing dichloroethane), 5a was formed together with the isomeric 6a , both in low yield. The 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1b and 1c reacted sluggishly to give the two isomeric ring-enlargement products of type 5 and 6 in yields of 24–29% and 2–4%, respectively (Table 1). Even less reactive is 2,2-dimethyl-3-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)-2H-azirine ( 1d ), which reacted with 4 in MeCN only at 65°. Under these conditions, besides numerous decomposition products, only traces of 5d and 6d were formed. No ring enlargement was observed with the sterically crowded 1e , which bears an isopropyl group at C(2).

Ringerweiterung von 1,2-Thiazol-3(2H)-on-1,1-dioxiden und 3-Amino-2H-azirinen zu 4H-1,2,5-Thiadiazocin-6-on-1,1-dioxiden

Ring Enlargement of 1,2-Thiazol-3(2H)-one-1,1-dioxides and 3-Amino-2H-azirines to 4H-1,2,5-Thiadiazocin-6-one-1,1-dioxides Reaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines 2 with the 1,1-dioxides 4 and 7 of 1,2-thiazol-3(2H)-ones and 1,2-thiazoli-din-3-ones, respectively, in i-PrOH at room temperature leads to 4H-1,2,5-thiadiazocin-6(5H)-one-1,1-dioxides 5 (Scheme 2, Table) and the corresponding 7,8-dihydro derivatives 8 (Scheme 4), respectively. The structure of some of the new 8-membered heterocycles as well as the structure of the minor by-product 6 (Scheme 3) have been established by X-ray crystallography (Chapt. 4). The proposed reaction mechanism for the ring expansion to 5 and 8 (Scheme 2) is in accordance with previously published results of reactions of 2 and NH-acidic heterocycles and is further supported by the results of the reaction of 4a and the (1-¹⁵N)-labelled aminoazirine 2a *.     

1,2-Benzothiazines VIII. A novel semmler-wolff type transformation of 2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-4-one 1,1-dioxide oxime

Refluxing the oxime ( 1 ) of 2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-4(3H)one 1,1-dioxide with tri-fluoroacetic acid or with boron trifluoride in acetic acid gives the corresponding N-acyl derivative ( 2 or 3) of 4-amino-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-3(4H)one 1,1-dioxide. This transformation appears to be related to the acid catalyzed conversion of α-tetralone oxime to α-naphthylamine.     

Zur Oxidation von 1,2-Thiazolen: Ein einfacher Zugang zu 1,2-Thiazol-3(2H)-on-1,1-dioxiden

Oxidation of 1,2-Thiazoles; A Convenient Approach to 1,2-Thiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-Dioxides The 1,2-thiazoles obtained from 3-chloroalk-2-enals and ammonium thiocyanate ( 7 → 9 , Scheme 1) are easily transformed to 1,2-thiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxidcs 10 on treatment with H₂O₂ in AcOH at 80°. Hydrogenation of 10 in AcOH yields the corresponding saturated 1,2-thiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides 16 (Scheme 3). Cycloalka[c]-1,2-thiazoles 18 are prepared from 2-[(thiocyanato)methyliden]cycloalkan-1-ones and ammonia (Scheme 4). Surprisingly, oxidation of 18a with H₂O₂ in AcOH yields the tricyclic oxaziridine 19.     

Ringerweiterung von sechs- zu neungliedrigen Heterocyclen: Umsetzung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit 3,4-Dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3-on-1,1-dioxiden

Ring Enlargement of Six- to Nine-Membered Heterocycles: Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine with 3,4-Dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3-one 1,1-Dioxides Reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1 ) and N-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxides ( 4 ) in CHCl₃ yields 3-(dimethylamino)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,5,7-benzothiatriazonin-6-one 1,1-dioxides 5 , a novel nine-membered heterocyclic system, by ring enlargement (Schemes 2 and 4). In refluxing MeOH, the heterocycle 5a rearranges to give the N-[1-methyl-1-(1,1-dioxo-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3-yl)ethyl]-N′, N′-dimethylurea 10 . The three isomeric 2-(methylamino)benzenesufonamides 8,9 , and 11 (Scheme 3) are obtained by naBH₄ reduction of 5a and 10 , respectively. Mechanisms for the thermal isomerization 5a → 10 and the NaBH₄ reduction of 5a are proposed in Schemes 5 and 6.     

A ter­phenyl halide series: 2,6‐Trip2­H3C6X (Trip = 2,4,6‐triiso­propyl­phenyl; X = Cl,Br, I)

The sterically encumbered ter­phenyl halides 2′‐chloro‐2,2′′,4,4′′,6,6′′‐hexaisopropyl‐1,1′:3′,1′′‐terphenyl, C₃₆H₄₉Cl, (I), 2′‐bromo‐2,2′′,4,4′′,6,6′′‐hexaisopropyl‐1,1′:3′,1′′‐terphenyl, C₃₆H₄₉Br, (II), and 2′‐iodo‐2,2′′,4,4′′,6,6′′‐hexaisopropyl‐1,1′:3′,1′′‐terphenyl, C₃₆H₄₉I, (III), crystallize in space group Pnma. They are isomorphous and isostructural with a plane of symmetry through the centre of the mol­ecule. The C–halide bond distances are 1.745 (3), 1.910 (4) and 2.102 (6) Å for (I)–(III), respectively.     

Heterocyclizations of Functionalized Heterocumulenes with C,N- and C,O-Dinucleophiles: II.* Reaction of 1-Chloro- and 1,1-Dichloroalkyl Isocyanates and 1-Chloroalkylidenecarbamates with 2-Bensothiazolylacetonitrile, 2-Benzothiazolylacetates,and Bis(2-benzothiazolyl)methane

1-Chloroalkyl isocyanates react with 2-R-methylbenzothiazoles [R = CN, C(O)OAlk, 2-benzothiazolyl] in the presence of triethylamine to give 4-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]benzothiazol-1-ones. The same reaction at elevated temperature in the absence of a base yields isomeric 4-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]benzothiazol-3-ones. 4-R-1H-Pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]benzothiazol-1-ones are formed in the reaction of 1,1-dichloroalkyl isocyanates or methyl 1-chloroalkylidenecarbamates with 2-benzothiazolylacetonitrile or bis(2-benzothiazolyl)methane.     

Two terphenyl‐based diol hosts and corresponding solvent inclusions with dimethylformamide and acetonitrile

Having reference to an elongated structural modification of 2,2′‐bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)biphenyl, (I), the two 1,1′:4′,1′′‐terphenyl‐based diol hosts 2,2′′‐bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)‐1,1′:4′,1′′‐terphenyl, C₄₄H₃₄O₂, (II), and 2,2′′‐bis[hydroxybis(4‐methylphenyl)methyl]‐1,1′:4′,1′′‐terphenyl, C₄₈H₄₂O₂, (III), have been synthesized and studied with regard to their crystal structures involving different inclusions, i.e. (II) with dimethylformamide (DMF), C₄₄H₃₄O₂·C₂H₆NO, denoted (IIa), (III) with DMF, C₄₈H₄₂O₂·C₂H₆NO, denoted (IIIa), and (III) with acetonitrile, C₄₈H₄₂O₂·CH₃CN, denoted (IIIb). In the solvent‐free crystals of (II) and (III), the hydroxy H atoms are involved in intramolecular O—H...π hydrogen bonding, with the central arene ring of the terphenyl unit acting as an acceptor. The corresponding crystal structures are stabilized by intermolecular C—H...π contacts. Due to the distinctive acceptor character of the included DMF solvent species in the crystal structures of (IIa) and (IIIa), the guest molecule is coordinated to the host via O—H...O=C hydrogen bonding. In both crystal structures, infinite strands composed of alternating host and guest molecules represent the basic supramolecular aggregates. Within a given strand, the O atom of the solvent molecule acts as a bifurcated acceptor. Similar to the solvent‐free cases, the hydroxy H atoms in inclusion structure (IIIb) are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and there is thus a lack of host–guest interaction. As a result, the solvent molecules are accommodated as C—H...N hydrogen‐bonded inversion‐symmetric dimers in the channel‐like voids of the host lattice.     

Two N,N′‐diaryl‐2,2,2‐trichloroethane‐1,1‐diamines: hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular structures in one and two dimensions

The molecules of 2,2,2‐trichloro‐N,N′‐diphenylethane‐1,1‐diamine, C₁₄H₁₃Cl₃N₂, are linked into (040) sheets by a combination of C—H...Cl and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. In 2,2,2‐trichloro‐N,N′‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)ethane‐1,1‐diamine, C₁₆H₁₇Cl₃N₂, the molecules are linked into C(7) chains by two independent C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and one Cl...Cl contact.     

Synthesis of (E)‐1,1‐Diethoxy‐3‐(3‐hydroxy‐3‐arylfuro[2,3‐b]quinoxalin‐2(3H)‐ylidene)propan‐2‐ones via Acid‐Catalyzed,Stereoselective 5‐Exo‐Dig Cyclization

A number of 3‐(4,4,5,5‐tetraethoxy‐1‐hydroxy‐1‐arylpent‐2‐ynyl)quinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones, obtained by reacting the lithium acetylide of 3,3,4,4‐tetraethoxybut‐1‐yne (TEB) with 3‐aroylquinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones, appeared to undergo stereoselective cyclization in the 5‐exo‐Dig manner when heated at reflux in acidic, aqueous THF. In each case, the products were the corresponding (E)‐1,1‐diethoxy‐3‐(3‐hydroxy‐3‐arylfuro[2,3‐b]quinoxalin‐2(3H)‐ylidene)propan‐2‐ones and 1,1‐diethoxy‐3‐hydroxy‐3‐(3‐arylfuro[2,3‐b]quinoxalin‐2‐yl)propan‐2‐one, which were isolated in an approximate ratio of 2:1 in high total yield. Irrespective of the structure of the aryl group, both compounds were stable solids when kept in a refridgerator (3 °C), but when the latter product was dissolved in chloroform and stored at room temperature, it rearranged smoothly and quantitatively to the former compound within a few days.
