Highly substituted furans have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and various nucleophiles under very mild reaction conditions in good to excellent yields. Gold and some other transition metals are efficient catalysts for this reaction.     

Synthesis of 1-(2-furyl)-2-nitropropen-3-ones

1-(2-Furyl)-2-nitropropen-3-ones were synthesized by reaction of nitrogen tetroxide with a number of , -unsaturated furylcarbonyl compounds. The 5-nitrofuryl derivative was obtained from 1-(2-furyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propen-3-one when the excess amount of N₂O₄ was increased. Replacement of bromine by a nitro group in the furan ring is observed in the case of the 5-bromofuryl derivative.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1604–1606, December, 1977.

Facile synthesis of 2-carboxanilido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones from N1-(2-carboxyphenyl)-N2-(aryl)oxalamides

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of novel 2-carboxanilido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones via the one-pot condensation of readily available N¹-(2-carboxyphenyl)-N²-(aryl)oxalamides with various aromatic amines is described. Notably, this methodology allows us to synthesize 3-aryl-quinazolin-4-ones using aromatic amines with various substituents, both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing, which ensures structural diversity of the products and an atomic-economic process.

Series of new (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones and (E)-1-aryl-3-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]prop-2-en-1-ones have been efficiently prepared via the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde and 2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde, respectively, with aryl methyl ketones under conditions of ultrasound and microwave irradiation. Structures of the products have been confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectroscopy, as well as by elemental analysis. Evaluation of the in vitro antibacterial activity against bacterial (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli) and fungal (Aspergillus niger and Candida metapsilosis) strains has revealed good antimicrobial activity of some of the tested compounds.

A novel and selective palladium-catalyzed carbonylative annulation process for the synthesis of 3-(halomethylene)indolin-2-ones was demonstrated. In the presence of PdX2 and CuX2, 3-(halomethylene)indolin-2-ones were selectively obtained from the carbonylative annulations of 2-(1-alkynyl)benzenamines with CO in moderate to good yields.     

Novel synthesis of 3-aryl-5,6-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones

Cyclization of N-3-oxoalkylamides of substituted phenylacetic acids under the influence of bases produces 3-aryl-substituted 5, 6-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones. Dehydrogenation of these latter compounds yields substituted pyridin-2(1H)-ones.Omsk State University, Omsk 644077.

A new route for the convenient synthesis of 3-(thiazol-2'-ylthio)-2h-1-benzopyran-2-ones

Different thiazolylthiocoumarins were prepared by the reaction of (thiazol-2-ylthio) acetic acid hydrazides with 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, followed by cyclization of the formed N-benzylidene derivatives in presence of PPA.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 3-methylidenedihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones

A series of enantiomerically pure or highly enriched (R)- or (S)-3-methylidenetetrahydroquinolin-2-ones was readily prepared by highly diastereoselective Michael additions of various Grignard reagents to quinolin-2(1H)-ones, containing an (R,R)- or (S,S)-di(1-phenylethylamino)phosphoryl group as chiral auxiliary, followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of formaldehyde. An efficient synthesis of the starting (R,R)- and (S,S)-3-({di[(1-phenylethyl)amino]}phosphoryl)-1-alkyl-quinolin-2(1H)-ones is also described. The relative and absolute configurations of the intermediate adducts and final methylidenequinolinones were established by NMR and X-ray analysis.     

Practical and high stereoselective synthesis of 3-(arylmethylene)isoindolin-1-ones from 2-formylbenzoic acid

Practical and high stereoselective synthesis of 3-(arylmethylene)isoindolin-1-ones is reported. The synthetic method involves the preparation of dimethyl isoindolin-1-one-3-yl-phosphonates by a ‘one-pot’ three-component reaction of 2-formylbenzoic acid with 4-methoxybenzylamine or aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal and dimethyl phosphite under solvent and catalyst free-conditions, followed by a Horner reaction with several aryl aldehydes.     

Regioselective synthesis of 3-(heteroaryl)-iminothiazolidin-4-ones

Cyclization of unsymmetrical thioureas affords 3-(heteroaryl)-iminothiazolidin-4-ones with excellent levels of regiocontrol. In the absence of base, 2-(pyridylmethyl) and 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazolyl substituents on the thiourea scavenge acid that is generated upon sulfur alkylation with bromoesters. The resulting conjugate acid plays an important role in influencing the regiochemical outcome and overall rate of the reaction.     

The reaction of 3-(1-imidazolyl)-2-alken-1-ones with nucleophiles

Generally 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones were prepared from 1,3-alkanediones, 3-chloro-2-alken-1-ones, or conjugated ynones. The preparation of 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones was subjected to some limitations by these methods. By the reaction of 3-(1-imidazolyl)-2-alken-1-ones (I) and 3-(3-oxo-1-alkenyl)-1-methylimidazolium iodides (II) with nucleophiles, 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones could be obtained regioselectively in good yield under mild conditions. These results suggested that compounds I and II were concluded to be useful intermediates for the organic synthesis.     

Photoisomerization of 2H,6H-Thiin-3-ones to 2-(Alk-1-enyl)thietan-3-ones

Reaction of 3-bromo-3-methylbutan-2-one ( 1 ) with mercapto-esters 2 affords 5-oxo-3-thiahexanoates 3 which cyclize to thiane-3,5-diones 4 . Conversion of these dicarbonyl compounds to their ethyl enol ethers 5–7 followed by reduction with LiAlH₄ gives 2H,6H-thiin-3-ones 8–10 . On irradiation (350 nm) in either MeCN, benzene, or i-PrOH, these newly synthesized heterocycles isomerize efficiently to 2-(alk-l-enyl)thietan-3-ones 11–13 . The rearrangement seems to proceed from an excited singlet state, as it is not quenched by naphthalene, and also occurs with the same efficiency in the presence of added alkene. A (9-S-3) sulfuranyl-alkyl biradical formed by bonding of C(α) of the enone C?C bond on sulfur is discussed as possible intermediate.

3-(Hetarylamino)- and 3-[(hetarylmethyl)amino]-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones

The reaction of 2-(cyanomethyl)benzoic acid with amines RNH₂ (R = Ar, Het, CH₂Ar, CH₂Het) leads to the formation of the corresponding 3-NHR-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. When R = CH₂Ar and CH₂Het, there is a side reaction involving hydrolysis of the hydrolytically-unstable intermediates, derivatives of 2-(2-amino-2-iminoethyl)benzoic acid, leading to 2-R-isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones.
