Palladium-catalyzed allylalkynylation of benzynes: a highly efficient route to substituted 1-allyl-2-alkynylbenzenes

Benzynes, generated in situ from 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates and cesium fluoride, undergo allylalkynylation with allylic chlorides and alkynylstannanes in the presence of palladium catalyst to give 1-allyl-2-alkynylbenzenes in good to excellent yields. [reaction: see text]

Preparation and reactions of 2-chloro-3,4-epoxy-1-butene: a convenient route to (Z)-3-chloroallylic alcohols

Epoxide 2 was prepared from 3,4-dichloro-1-butene (1) by epoxidation with m-CPBA and subsequent dehydrohalogenation of the intermediate dichloroepoxide with molten KOH, affording 2 in 64% overall yield (2 steps). Catalytic CuBr/SMe(2)-mediated S(N)2' addition of sp(2)- or sp(3)-hybridized Grignard reagents to 2-chloro-3,4-epoxy-1-butene (2) afforded (Z)-3-chloroallylic alcohols such as 3 in good yields and with high regio- and stereoselectivity.     

Synthesis and properties of 1-(6-methoxy)-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-pyridones

Substituted ]-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-pyridones were prepared from 2-amino-6-methoxybenzathiazate through N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazotyl) cyanvorearmileaznd-3-aryl-N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-cyano-2-propenamides. The cyclization of the latter with malonodinitrile in the presence of piperidine gave the corresponding pyridones. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by¹H NMR and mass spectral data.Department of Organic Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Slovak Technical University, 812 37 Bratislava, Slovakia.

-trifluoroacylation - a convenient route to carboxylic acids

Trifluoroacetic anhydride will trifluoroacylate reactive aromatic and heterocylic nuclei without the aid of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The resulting trifluoromethyl ketone undergoes hydrolysis to yield the corresponding carboxylic acid. This provides a very simple route to aromatic and heterocyclic carboxylic acids.     

Proton-controlled photoisomerization of 1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene

Quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) predict the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) in the monoprotonated Z-isomer of 1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene (2P2Q), with this bond stabilizing the isomer relative to its E-counterpart. An experimentally observed increase in the quantum yield of trans-cis photoisomerization (φ_tc) by more than an order of magnitude (from 0.033 to 0.42 in acetonitrile) on passing from the neutral to the monoprotonated form of 2P2Q can be associated with IMHB, which manifested itself in the spectral properties of the Z-isomer. The IMHB breaks in the diprotonated form, and the value of φ_tc decreases back to the initial value. In addition to the photoisomerization, the photoreduction and photoaddition reactions of solvent molecules have been observed in an ethanol solution of 2P2Q.     

Derivatives of 1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole

In reaction of oxidation of 1-(2-pyridyl)3,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole, the corresponding 4,5-dioxoindazole is obtained, and then 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-carboxy-5-(2-methyl-2-carboxypropyl)pyrazole; in bromination reaction, a series of 5-bromo and 7-bromo derivatives is obtained. From 4,5-dioxoindazole with hydrazides of acids, a series of 4-oxo-5-acylhydrazono derivatives is obtained, and also 1-(2-pyridyl)-3,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-5-tosylhydroindazole, which, under the action of caustic, gives the 4-oxo-5-diazo derivative.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658.

The 1,4-addition of singlet oxygen to 2,6-dimethoxy-1-(2-methoxyethenyl) benzene and 2-methoxy-1-(2-methoxyethenyl)naphthalene. The 1,4-endoperoxides as equivalents of 6-oxo-2,4-cyclohexadienylidenacetates.

The sensitized photooxygenation of vinylarenes $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$ gave the corresponding 1,4-endoperoxides which were decomposed under mild conditions into quinone methides bearing ester function at the exocyclic carbon.     

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.     

Synthesis and properties of 2-(2-pyridyl)-1-azaazulene

The title azaazulene 3 was synthesized either by reaction of tropone with N-{(2-pyridyl)acetyl}pyridinium iodide in the presence of ammonium acetate or by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 2-halo-1-azaazulene and 2-substituted pyridine. The compound shows relatively stronger basicity compared with 2,2′-bipyridyl. While 3 showed no emission from the S₁ state but from the S₂ state like azulene does, the protonated species of 3 exhibited emission from the S₁ state. Cationic metal-dependent absorption and emission relating to complexation were also studied.     

P(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N: efficient 1,4-addition catalysts

The 1,4-addition of primary alcohols, higher nitroalkanes, and a Schiff's base of an alpha-amino ester to alpha,beta-unsaturated substrates produces the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields when carried out at -63 to 70 degrees C in the presence of catalytic amounts of the nonionic strong bases P(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N (R = Me, i-Pr, i-Bu) in isobutyronitrile. Diastereoselectivity for the anti form of the product is high in the case of the Schiff's base in the absence of lithium ion. These catalysts are easily removed from the product by either column filtration through silica gel or via aqueous workup.

A convenient synthesis of copper(I) carboxylates

A simple procedure is described for the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic copper(I) carboxylates by the reduction of copper(II) carboxylates with commercially available tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate. In this way copper(I) acetate, benzoate and stearate have been prepared in good yield and purity from the corresponding copper(II) carboxylates.
