The reaction of organophosphorus reagents with substituted‐1,3‐diphenylpropanetrione: New synthesis of azaphospholene derivatives

The reaction of 1,3‐diphenyl‐2‐(phenylimino)‐3‐(ylidenemethyl‐acetate)‐1‐propanone (5) with trisdialkylaminophosphines (6a,b) in refluxing toluene afforded the new oxazaphospholene products (7a–b) . On the other hand, the cyclic azaphospholene adducts 8a–b were isolated from the reaction of 5 with 6a,b without solvent. Trialkyl phosphites 1b–c react with compound 5 to give the respective dialkyl phosphate products (9a,b) . Moreover, trisdialkylaminophosphines (6a,b) react with 2a and 2b to give the dipolar adducts 10a,b and the phosphonate products 11a,b, respectively. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered, and the structural assignments are based on compatible analytical and spectroscopic results. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A challenging synthesis of new 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives starting from 2‐acylamino‐3,3‐dichloroacrylonitriles

Available 2‐acylamino‐3,3‐dichloroacrylonitriles, when treated with hydrazine hydrate, provide 2‐alkyl‐ or 2‐aryl‐5‐hydrazino‐1,3‐oxazole‐4‐carbonitriles that readily add alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates and the adducts formed recyclize on heating. Finally, the synthesis results in 5‐alkyl(aryl)amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl(acylamino)acetonitriles or the products of their further cyclization, 2‐(5‐amino‐1,3‐ oxazol‐2‐yl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives. The structures of the novel substituted 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles are corroborated spectroscopically as well as by X‐ray diffraction method. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of 2‐amino‐5‐methyl‐7H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolo[3,2‐α]pyrimidin‐7‐ones

2‐Amino substituted 7H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolo[3,2‐α]pyrimidin‐7‐ones 11a‐e were prepared by the reaction of 2‐bromo‐5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole ( 1b ) and diketene ( 8 ), subsequent cyclocondensation ( 9b → 3b ) and displacement of the bromo substituents by the reaction with primary or secondary amines ( 3b → 11a‐e ). The hydrogen atom 6‐H in the heterobicycle 3b is replaced by a Cl or Br atom in the transformation of 3b → 14a,b. The 2‐bromo‐6‐chloro compound 14a reacts chemoselectively in the 2‐position with dimethylamine ( 14a → 15 ). The structure elucidations are based on one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques including a heteronuclear NOE measurement.     

Facile synthesis of model 1,4‐dihydro‐1H‐1,3,4‐benzotriazepin‐5‐ones

2‐Aminobenzoic acid reacts readily, in the presence of triethylamine, with hydrazonoyl chlorides ( 5a‐c ) (precursors of the reactive nitrile imine 1,3‐dipolar species) to afford high yields of the corresponding acyclic amidrazone adducts ( 6a‐c ). The latter adducts undergo, in THF in presence of 1,1‐carbonyldiimida‐zole, smooth intramolecular cyclization involving the activated carboxyl and the NH‐ termini to deliver unequivocally the respective dihydro‐1,3,4‐benzotriazepin‐5‐ones ( 7a‐c ).     

Synthesis of α‐hydroxy‐methylenebisphos‐phonates by the microwave‐assisted reaction of α‐oxophosphonates and dialkyl phosphites under solventless conditions

The synthesis of hydroxy‐methylenebisphosphonates ( 2a–c ) by the addition of dialkyl phosphite to the carbonyl group of the corresponding α‐oxophosphonate ( 1a–c ) was studied under microwave irradiation (MW) and solventless conditions in the presence of dialkylamine as the catalyst. After optimization, products 2a and 2b were obtained selectively and in good yields avoiding the formation of the phosphonate‐phosphate by‐product ( 3a and 3b ) that is the result of a rearrangement. The MW‐assisted synthesis of hydroxybisphosphonates ( 2a and 2b ) offers complete conversions and a chemoselectivity of 100% as compared to the not so efficient thermal reaction. At the same time, the phenyl‐substituted methylenebisphosphonate 2c could be obtained in only 75% selectivity. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Herein we report an efficient one pot synthesis of new chiral 4,5‐dihydro‐4‐arylspiro[1,3,4‐thiadiazole]‐5,2′‐camphane‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl esters 5–7 and 4,5‐dihydro‐3‐arylspiro[1,4,2‐oxathiazole]‐5,2′‐camphane 11–13 , using 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines 2–4 and nitrile oxides 8–10 to (1R)‐thiocamphor 1 respectively. The structure of the newly prepared 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles 5–7 (obtained as pure diastereoisomers) were fully established via spectroscopic analysis and X‐ray structural analysis which proved the absolute configuration of the C5 spiranic carbon to be (R). NMR spectral analysis were also very useful to show the new 1,4,2‐oxathiazoles 11–13 are mixtures of two (5R)/(5S) diastereoisomers with the ratio 6:4,7:3 and 6:4 respectively.

Whereas arylthio substituents (SC₆H₅) can be introduced in 2‐position by the replacement of Br, alkylthio groups (SC₂H₅) have to be already presentin the starting 5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole. The ambident nucleophile 2‐thiazolidinethione reacts in the Br substitution reaction on the N atom.

Condensation of 2‐amino‐5‐phenyl‐5H‐thiazolo[4,3‐b] [1,3,4] thiadiazoles ( 1 ) with some carboxylic acid derivatives furnished corresponding compounds 2–4 , respectively. Alkylation of 1 with benzoylchloride and 4‐chlorobenzyl chloride afforded thiazolo[4,3‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives 5 and 6 , respectively. Similarly, transformation of 1 with chloroacetyl chloride yielded chloroacetamide derivative 7 . The later compound was subjected to react with potassium thiocyanate or piperazine whereby, the binary thiazolidinone derivative 8 and N ¹ ,N⁴‐disubstituted piperazine 9 were produced, respectively. Also, the reactivity of 1 toward various active methylene reagents was investigated.

Microwave‐assisted synthesis of 1,3′‐diaza‐flavanone/flavone and their alkyl derivatives with antimicrobial activity

A simple environmentally friendly solid‐phase microwave‐assisted method was used to synthesis of the 1,3′‐diazaflavanone ( 2 ) and 1,3′‐diazaflavone ( 3 ) from the cyclization of 2′‐amino (E)‐3″‐azachalcone ( 1 ). Ten new N‐alkyl (C_5–12,14,15)‐substituted 1,3′‐diazaflavanonium bromides ( 2a–j ) were prepared from compound 2 with corresponding alkyl halides in acetonitrile under reflux. In addition, nine new N,N′‐dialkyl (C_5–12,14)‐substituted 1,3′‐diazaflavonium bromides ( 3a–i ) were also synthesized from compound 3 with corresponding alkyl halides using basic silica in acetonitrile. The antimicrobial activities of compounds 1–3 , 2a–j , and 3a–i were tested against Gram‐positive (G+) (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram‐negative (G?) (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimirium, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Enterobacter cloaceae) microorganisms. They showed good antimicrobial activity against the Gram‐positive bacteria tested with the minimal inhibitory concentration values less than 7.8 μg/mL in most cases. The optimum length of the alkyl chain for better and broader activity is situated in the range of 9–12 carbon atoms in the series of compounds 2a–j and five to six carbon atoms in the series of compounds 3a–i . The nonalkylated compounds 1–3 were not effective, as were the ones alkylated with five or six C alkyl groups ( 2a and 2b ) and 8–13 C alkyl groups for N,N′‐dialkyl compounds ( 3c–3i ). The antimicrobial activity increased as the length of the alkyl substitution increased from 8 to 12 carbons in compounds 2a–j . However, antimicrobial activity decreased as the length of the alkyl substitution increased from 7 to 13 carbons in compounds 3c–i . J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012)

Reactions of 1b with ylides 2a and 2d gave rise to the olefinic compound 8 and the new phosphorane product 9. Moreover, dialkyl phosphites 3a,b and trialkyl phosphites 4a–c react with 1a to give both the alkylated products 10a–c and the dimeric compounds 11,12.

Corrosion inhibition and performance evaluation on 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), this paper evaluated the inhibition effect of four 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives named 2,5‐diphenly‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (DPTD), 2,5‐di(2‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (2‐DHPTD), 2,5‐di(3‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (3‐DHPTD), and 2,5‐di(4‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (4‐DHPTD) on silver strip corrosion in 50 mg/l sulfur–ethanol solution under room temperature. The experiments indicated that the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations, and the increasing order was (4‐DHPDT) > (3‐DHPDT) > (2‐DHPDT) > (DPDT). Quantum chemical calculation was applied to correlate inhibition performances with their electronic structural parameters of thiadiazole derivatives. Molecular dynamics simulations (DFT) were used to optimize the equilibrium configurations of the inhibitor molecules on the silver surface and to investigate the molecular structure effect on the corrosion inhibition efficiency. The efficiency order of the investigated inhibitors, which was obtained by experimental results, was verified by theoretical calculations. Contact angle (CA) analysis was also carried out, and finally confirmed the existence of the adsorbed film which prevailed in addition of thiadiazole derivatives. CA analysis indicated that the film of n‐DHPTD (n = 2,3,4) was hydrophilic, owing to two hydroxyl groups in their molecular. The adsorption of these compounds onto silver strip from 50 mg/l S‐ethanol system obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and it belongs to mixed‐type adsorption mainly dominated by chemisorption.

Synthesis of Novel 1‐(5‐(Benzylsulfinyl)‐3‐methyl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2(3H)‐ylidene)‐thiourea/urea Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Activities

A new series of 1‐(5‐(benzylsulfinyl)‐3‐methyl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2(3H)‐ylidene)‐thiourea/urea derivatives ( 1a – j ) were designed and synthesized. For the first time, (i) a new process was developed for N‐methylation of 1,3,4‐thiadiazole moiety using dimethyl carbonate an environmentally benign reagent in presence of N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine and (ii) the sulfide was selectively oxidized to sulfoxide in higher yield by using chlorine (g) in aqueous acetic acid media under mild reaction condition. The synthesized compounds ( 1a – j ) were investigated for their antimicrobial activities. The tested compounds ( 1a – j ) were exhibited moderate to excellent antibacterial activities against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacterial strains. The same compounds exhibited good antifungal activities against selected fungal strains. Particularly, the compounds 1b , 1d , 1h , and 1i were proved to be promising leads exhibiting both antibacterial and antifungal activities compared with standard drugs, ciprofloxacin, and fluconazole. The presence of 1,3,4‐thiadiazole moiety has a significant role in the display of antimicrobial activity. In addition, the presence of both sulfinyl and thiourea or urea functionalities has enhanced the activity as per obtained antimicrobial activity data.
