Synthesis and structure of silicon-containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methyland <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-benzoylamides of diisopropylphosphoric acid

Diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate reacts with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl under mild conditions to form diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]phosphoramidate (III). Diisopropyl N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl affords an N-transsilylation product which does not rearrange into diisopropyl N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate (XV) even under severe conditions (4 h, 130°C). Compound XV was prepared by the reaction of diisopropyl phosphorochloridate with N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylamine followed by treatment of diisopropyl N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate with boron trichloride. Analysis of experimental and calculated ²⁹Si chemical shifts points to a five-coordinate silicon atom in compound III and a fourcoordinate silicon atom in compound XV. According to B3LYP calculations with due regard to solvent effects, compound III is an isomer with a C=O→Si bond. By variation of substituents at silicon, phosphorus, and carbonyl carbon atoms, chelate structures with either C=O→Si or P=O→Si dative bonds can be obtained.

N-Aryloxamides were synthesized by the reaction of [4-(4-methoxyphenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl]methanamine with ethyl N-aryloxamates. The condensation of N-{[4-(4-methoxyphenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl]methyl}succinamic acid with primary amines gave N,N'-disubstituted siccinamides.     

Atropisomeric <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(cyclopentenylphenyl)glycines in the synthesis of oxazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzoxazocinones

Intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition was studied of munchnones generated at heating syn- and anti-atropisomers of N-acyl-N-[6-methyl-2-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)phenyl]glycines with acetic anhydride. By spectral and X-ray diffraction analysis syn-isomers of acids and tetrahydro-1,4,7-methanetriyl[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a][1]- bensazocin-3(3aH)-ones were identified.

N-Allyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides in reactions with polyphosphoric acid, with N-halosuccinimides in chloroform, and with (chlorosulfanyl)benzenes in nitromethane in the presence of lithium perchlorate underwent cyclization involving the N-allylamide fragment to give 4-[5-methyl(halomethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates, respectively. Analogous reactions of N-propargyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides with polyphosphoric acid afforded 4-(5-methyloxazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amines, and with (chlorosulfanyl) benzenes, 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acetyl- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with <Emphasis Type="Italic">meta</Emphasis>-cloroperbenzoic acid

Reaction of N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with meta-cloroperbenzoic acid leads to the corresponding 2-[1-o-(3-chlorobenzoyl)-2-hydroxycyclopent-1-yl]anilines. 5-(2-Acetylaminophenyl)-5-oxopentanic or 6-oxohexanic acids are formed as main products in the reaction of N-acetyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in CH₂Cl₂. N-Acetyl-2-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl)-3,6-dimethylaniline is an exception in this series since its reaction stops at the stage of epoxide formation.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.

The reaction of N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide with silanes ClCH₂SiR¹R²Cl (R¹, R² = H, Me; H, Ph; Ph₂) leads to the formation of (O→Si) chelate compounds with pentacoordinate silicon: N-[chloro(methyl)-silyl]methyl-, N-[chloro(phenyl)silyl]methyl-, and N-[chloro(diphenyl)silyl]methyl-N-methylacetamides. From the data of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, the intermediates of the reaction of N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide with ClCH₂SiPhHCl and ClCH₂SiPh²Cl are stable in CDCl₃ solution at room temperature during several days and slowly rearrange to the final (O–Si) chelate compounds.

Some Transformations of 2-(Chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>]quinazolin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The condensation of 1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbonitrile with chloroacetyl chloride afforded chloro-N-(2-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)acetamide which underwent cyclization to 2-(chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. The latter reacted with various nucleophiles (alkali metal alkoxides, piperazine, 2-sulfanylethanol) to give 2-(alkoxymethyl)-, 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-, and 2-{[(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfanyl]methyl}-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin- 4(3H)-ones. The condensation of 2-(chloromethyl)benzo[h]quinazoline with 2-thioxo derivatives of quinazoline and benzo[h]quinazolines led to the formation of bis-quinazolines in which 5,5-dimethyl-5,6- dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment is linked to quinazoline or benzo[h]quinazoline system through a CH₂S bridge.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-allyl and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-propargyl trifluoromethanesulfonimides. Theoretical analysis

Tautomers of N-allyl- and N-propargyl-substituted trifluoromethanesulfonimides (CF₃SO₂)₂NR (R = CH₂CH=CH₂, Z/E-CH=CHMe, CH₂C≡CH, CH=CH=CH₂, C≡CCH₂) were calculated by the DFT (B3LYP, wB97XD, PBE1PBE), MP2, and CBS-QB3 methods. The results were compared with the theoretical data for the corresponding amines and amides NHRR¹ (R¹ = H, CF₃SO₂). It was shown that there is no conjugation between the nitrogen atom and C=C bond and that conjugation exists with the C≡C bond with electron density displacement toward the nitrogen atom. The calculations of anions derived from N-allyl- and N-propargyl-trifluoromethanesulfonimides revealed the possibility of their rearrangement with elimination of trifluoromethanesulfinate anion and formation of its H-complex with N-(prop-2-en-1-ylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide or N-(prop-2-yn-1-ylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide.     

Stereochemistry of dihydroxylation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">endo</Emphasis>- and -<Emphasis Type="Italic">exo</Emphasis>-2,3-dicarboximides

Stereochemistry of the oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides at the double bond with peroxyacetic acid generated in situ in the presence of sulfuric acid and with an anhydrous dioxane solution of peroxyacetic acid was studied. In both cases, the reaction was stereospecific, regardless of the substituent in the N-aryl group and configuration of the imide ring, but the reaction direction depended on the presence of water in the system. In the first case, the corresponding trans-5,6-dihydroxy derivatives were formed, while in the second, exo-5,6-epoxy derivatives. The oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides with a solution of potassium permanganate in aqueous acetone gave the corresponding N-aryl-cis-5,6-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides. The exo,cis,exo and exo,cis,endo configurations of the synthesized compounds were determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.

N-Metallation of bromoanilines with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by a reaction with trimethylchlorosilane provided N-mono and N-bis(trimethylsilyl)bromoanilines depending on the structure of substrate. The metallation of bissilylated bromoanilines with butyllithium permitted the introduction of a trimethylsilyl substituent in the aromatic ring. Previously unknown 2-bromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2,6-dibromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,6-dibromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilylaniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,4,6-tribromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, and 2,4,6-tribromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline were prepared. The structures of the compounds obtained were established by the chromato-mass spectrometry and ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and - trifluoromethanesulfonamides with indoles

N-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and -trifluoromethanesulfonamides reacted with indole and N-substituted indoles to give the corresponding N-[2,2-dichloro(or 2,2,2-trichloro)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-substituted sulfonamides. Unlike N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide, less electrophilic N-(poly-chloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides failed to react with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole. Previously unknown N,N’-bis(2,2-dichloroethylidene)biphenyl-4,4’-disulfonamide reacted with 1-benzyl-1H-indole at both azomethine fragments. Likewise, reactions of 1,6-bis(1H-indol-1-yl)hexane and 1,4-bis(1H-indol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene with N-sulfonyl trichloroacetaldehyde imines involved both indole rings in the former.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-iminobenzoquinones as novel regulators of radical polymerization

The effect of a number of quinoid compounds on methyl methacrylate polymerization initiated by azo-bis(isobutyronitrile) has been studied. It has been revealed that N-aryl-o-iminobenzoquinones, in contrast to o-benzoquinones, can provide radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in controllable mode. The efficiency of the compounds as chain growth regulators has been found to depend on their composition and reaction conditions. It has been established that 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-o-iminobenzoquinone and 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-o-iminobenzoquinone under radical initiation conditions provide the synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) with wide-range molecular weight, retaining polydispersity indices about ~1.4–1.8 up to deep conversions.

The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values of 0.0664 and 0.1920, respectively, for all 9521 independent reflections. The compound is composed of a tetra(n-butyl)ammonium cation and an octahedral cobalt(III) complex anion with two scba^2? ligands in a meridional fashion.
