One‐Pot Three‐Component Synthesis of Hantzsch 1,4‐Dihydropyridines Promoted by Dimethyl Phosphate Ionic Liquids

A one‐pot three‐component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, AcONH₄, and different aldehydes has been successfully performed in the presence of ionic liquids (ILs) possessing a (MeO)₂PO$\rm{{_{2}^{-}}}$ counterion. The impact of electronic and steric effects of the substituents of aromatic aldehydes, as well as the influence of different anions of ILs on the product yield, have been investigated. The application of dimethyl phosphate ILs in the synthesis of Hantzsch 1,4‐dihydropyridines presents a simple method for obtaining structurally diverse products in moderate to high yields without using any additional catalyst.     

Photoinduced Aromatization of Unsymmetrically Substituted 1,4‐Dihydropyridines

Irradiation of unsymmetrically substituted 1,4‐dihydropyridines ( 1b ‐ 1j ) while bubbling oxygen or argon through the solution resulted in aromatization to the corresponding pyridine derivatives ( 3b ‐ 3j ). Compound 1a with 2‐nitrophenyl substituent in 4‐position undergoes elimination of water upon irradiation under both oxygen and argon atmospheres and formation of 3a with 2‐nitrosophenyl substituent. On the other hand, irradiation of the compounds 1e , 1k and 1l with 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl, 5‐methyl‐2‐furyl and 2‐furyl substituent in this position, respectively, resulted in the expulsion of these substituents and formation of a pyridine derivative unsubstituted in position 4, namely compound 2 . Chloroform as a solvent causes the photo‐oxidation of these compounds by an electron transfer mechanism which is supported by the formation of dichloromethane according to GC analysis and presence of acid (HCl) in the solution after irradiation.

The catalyst is also effective for the efficient synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline and 1, 8‐dioxodecahydroacridine derivatives in good to excellent yields. The CdS thin film catalyst was prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. The cadmium sulphide thin film was characterized by powder XRD and FT‐IR studies. The average crystallite size (D) was calculated from powder XRD by using Scherrer formula and SEM analysis. The elemental composition of the CdS thin film was established by EDS analysis. The effect of temperature, substituent's, catalyst loading and mole ratio on the reaction was also studied. All the products were thoroughly characterized by ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, FT‐IR, Mass spectral and CHN analysis. A plausible mechanism for the CdS thin film catalyzed synthesis of 1, 4 DHP's is proposed. The heterogeneous catalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and successively reused at least five times without loss of activity.

1,4‐Addition polymerization of 1,4‐bis(4‐benzylpyridinium)butadiyne triflate in a dipolar aprotic solvent

1,4‐Bis(4‐benzylpyridinium)butadiyne triflate was aggregated in dimethylformamide and spontaneously converted into the 1,4‐addition type of polydiacetylene. The polymerization took place in a dipolar aprotic solvent with a large dielectric constant that could enhance the aggregation of the ionic diacetylene salt through the electrostatic interaction. The molecular weight of the diacetylene was leveled off after 30 h at 80 °C to reach 1.5 × 10⁴ (number‐average molecular weight) that consisted of the 1,4‐addition type of polydiacetylene similar to polydiacetylenes obtained in the conventional solid‐state polymerization. Electron spin resonance spectra revealed that diradicals were generated at the earlier state aggregation to give rise to a solution polymerization. The UV spectra also suggested the presence of the activated aggregation associated with the polymerization as well as the eximer emission spectra. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
