Abstract

Mono(thio)substituted nitrodienes were synthesized by reactions of 2-nitro-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene with some thiols [(tert-butylbenzyl)thio- and 2,3,5,6-tetra-fluorophenylthio-] either directly or in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. N,S-Substituted 1,3-butadienes were obtained from the reaction of the mono(thio)substituted nitrodienes with morpholine and some piperazine derivatives in dichloromethane. Also mono- and di(thio)substituted perchlorobutadienes were synthesized from the reactions of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene with o-aminothiophenol in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The structures of the new compounds were characterized by microanalysis and spectroscopic data.     

A new route to the improved synthesis of 1-(alkoxymethyl)-5-alkyl-6-(arylselenenyl)uracils

A new route to C-6-selenenyl analogs of compound 1a from 5-alkyl-6-chlorouracils 6a-b has been described. A mild and highly efficient synthesis of 1-(alkoxymethyl)-5-alkyl-6-(arylselenenyl)uracils 8a-e has been accomplished from 6a-b in good yields using a two step procedure. Silylation of 5-alkyl-6-chlorouracils 6a-b using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide followed by regioselective alkylation of the silylated intermediate with ethyl or benzyl chloromethyl ether in dichloromethane afforded the desired 1-(alkoxymethyl)-5-alkyl-6-chlorouracils 7a-d in 88–94% yields. Compounds 7a-d readily underwent addition-elimination reaction with an appropriate arylselenol in the presence of ethanolic sodium hyroxide to produce the corresponding 1-(alkoxymethyl)-5-alkyl-6-(arylselenenyl)uracils 8a-e in excellent yields (94–99%).     

Photochemical reactions of 1-methyl-4,6-diaryl-2(1H)-pyrimidinones in the presence of thiols

Photochemical reactions of 1-methyl-4,6-diaryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones 1a-b in the presence of thiols 2 are described. Irradiation of 1-methyl-4,6-diaryl-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1a-b in benzene in the presence of thiols 2 gave the unexpected 2:1-adducts, 3-methyl-4,6-diaryl-5-aralkylthio-6-(1′-methyl-4′,6′-diaryldihydro-pyrimidin-2-on)yl-1,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.0]hexan-2-ones 3-6, of 1 and 2, whereas irradiation of 1a-b alone in benzene resulted in recovery of the unchanged 1a-b.     

Useful Synthesis of Coumestans

A convenient synthesis of coumestans involving a combination of lithiation and Wittig reactions is described. Compounds 1a and 1b on reaction with n-butyllithium followed by treatment with diethyloxalate provide ketoesters 3a and 3b. Reaction of 3(a-b) with phosphorane generated from salt 4 gives 5(a-b) which on reaction with pyridine hydrochloride yield 7(a-b). DDQ oxidation of 7(a-b) gives coumestans 8(a-b).     

DIBUTADIENYL PIPERAZINE,DIBUTADIENYL HOMOPIPERAZINES AND BUTADIENYL-SUBSTITUTED PIPERIDINES FROM MONOSUBSTITUTED HALODIENES

Compounds 3a–k were obtained from the reactions of compounds 1a–k with homopiperazine (2) in CH ₂ Cl ₂ . Compounds 1a–b, 1d–f, and 1h–l gave compounds 5a–b, 5d–f, and 5h–l with 2-methylpiperazine (4) in dichloromethane. Compounds 7c and 9c were obtained from the reactions of compound 1c with 4-ethoxycarbonyl piperazine (6) and 4-piperidinol (8) in CH ₂ Cl ₂ . Compounds 1a and 1f gave compounds 11a and 11f with 4-methylpiperazine (10), and compound 13f was obtained from the reactions of compound 1f with 4-methylpiperidine (12) in CH ₂ Cl ₂ .     

Scandium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formations using alpha-organosulfanyl and organoselanyl-alpha-fluoroacetic acid derivatives

The scandium-catalyzed reactions of alpha-organosulfanyl and organoselanyl-alpha-fluoroacetates 1-2, acetamides 3-4 and acetonitrile 5 with soft nucleophiles proceeded to give the products 6a-b, 7a-c, 8a-c, 9a-e in good to high yields. We also successfully performed the scandium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization reactions and obtained the unique 5-methylene-2-oxotetrahydropyrans 16-17.     

Synthesis of 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-l,2,3-triazoles

As 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles often exhibit broad spectrum biological actions, we have synthesized many heterocyclic and condensed heterocyclic compounds which contained 1-aryl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl functional groups and screened their antibacterical activities^[1,2]. Our further work testified that it was necessary to go on studying such kind of compounds. In order to improve the soluble of these compounds, we chose aniline and p-toluidime as starting materials to synthesize 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles 1a-b, 2a-b, 3a-b, 4a-b, 5a, These new compounds all have active reaction groups such as SH, NH₂ as well as OH. So they might react with ω-substituted-ω-bromo-acetophenone and 6a-b, 7a-b, 8a-b, 9a were obtained. They are all soluble in hot alcohol. Under similar conditions it is difficult to let 4a-b react completely with ω-substituted-ω-bromo-acetophenone. We only observed a little new compounds by TLC. By Mannich reaction, 1a-b also could react with formaldelyde and p-toluidime and l0a-b were isolated. The evaluation of the biological activity is in progress.     

Synthesis of Calix[4]resorcinarene Amide Derivatives

Three different synthetic routes were developed to introduce carbamoyloxy functional groups at the upper periphery of two calix[4]resorcinarenes. By treating activated esters 2a-b with excess corresponding amine such as 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine 3, ct-phenethylamine 4 and triethylenetetramine 5, six amide derivatives 6a-8b were obtained in high yield (Route 1). The pyridine-linked amide derivatives 9a-b were prepared by using acid chloride intermediate (Route 2).The amide derivatives 10a-b were obtained in moderate yields by direct alkylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups of la-b with N,N-dipropylchloroacetoamide in the presence of K2CO3/KI in acetone (Route 3).     

Quinone chemistry. Synthesis and tautomerism of 4,7-indazolequinones

The reaction of 1 with hydrazines provided hydrazinium-4,7-dioxo-4,7-dihydroindazol-3-olates 2a-e and 4,7-indazolequinones 3f,g depending upon the nature of the substituent present in the reactants. Compounds 3a-g were obtained by treatment of 2a-e with sodium hydroxide. Fixed tautomers 4a-b and 5c-f were synthesized by methylation of the corresponding 3a-f or 2a-2e with diazomethane. Migration of a methyl group of 5c-f from the oxygen at C₃ to N₁ on heating afforded 6c-f . The tautomerism of 2a-e and 3a-g has been studied by comparing ir, uv, ¹H nmr and ¹³C nmr spectra with those of the fixed tautomers.     

4-Hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone-3-carboxamides synthesis and properties

Reaction of some α-phthalimidoacetamides 1a-i with sodium ethoxide was carried out under drastic conditions. Compounds 1b-g afforded 4-hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone-3-carboxamides 2b-g , while 1h-i afforded the acid 3a-b together with the expected isoquinolones 2h-i. Compound 1a gave phthalimide as the major product. Compounds 2 are acidic and unstable in basic media. The most acidic compounds presented the longest half-life. An explanation of these results was given.

The nitrodiene compound 1b reacted with o-dithiolbenzene ( 6 ) and yielded the ketene dithioacetal ( 7b ). Heterocyclic compounds 11a , 11b , 12a , and 12b were prepared from the reactions of 9a with 2,2'-oxydiethanethiol. The compounds 9a , 9b were prepared from 2-nitropentachloro-1,3-butadiene and alkylthiols ( 8a , 8b ). Mono(thio) substituted diene compound 9b gave dibutadienyl piperazine 14b with piperazine in diethylether.     

Syntheses, crystal and solution structures, ligand-exchange, and ligand-coupling reactions of mixed pentaarylantimony compounds

All possible combinations of mixed pentaarylantimony compounds bearing p-methylphenyl and p-trifluoromethylphenyl groups were synthesized; ArnTol5-nSb (n=0-5: Ar=p-CF3C6H4, Tol=p-CH3C6H4): Tol5Sb (1), ArTol4Sb (2), Ar2Tol3Sb (3), Ar3Tol2Sb (4), Ar4TolSb (5), and Ar5Sb (6). Compounds 2-5 are the first well-characterized examples of mixed acyclic pentaarylantimony species. The structures of 2-6 were determined by X-ray crystallography to feature trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP) geometry with the more electronegative p-trifluoromethylphenyl substituents selectively occupying the apical positions. Consideration of the chemical shifts of the ipso carbons of the aryl and tolyl groups suggested that the solution structures of 1-6 were also TBP, although their pseudorotation could not be frozen even at -80 degrees C. Ligand-exchange reactions (LERs) took place between 1 and 6 at approximately 60 degrees C in [D6]benzene and all six species 1-6 were found in the equilibrium mixture. The relative stabilities of 1-6 were determined quantitatively by comparison of the observed molar ratios of 1-6 in equilibrium with calculated statistical molar ratios, and Ar2Tol3Sb (3) was found to be the most stable. The ligand-coupling reactions (LCRs) of 2-5 in solution were greatly accelerated by adding Cu(acac)2 or Li+TFPB- (TFPB: [3,5-(CF3)2 C6H3]4 B), whereby the rate becomes comparable to the LER. The use of flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) allowed the LCR to occur with very little ligand-exchange; the exception ArTol4Sb had very fast ligand-exchange. The selectivities of the LCRs were calculated from the yield of the biaryls synthesized by using FVT. These results were highly consistent with reactions catalyzed in solution, in which bitolyl was not obtained at all. The experimental results suggested that the LCR of pentaarylantimony compounds proceeds in the manner of apical-apical coupling.     

Studies on the synthesis of compounds related to adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphate. VI. Synthesis and cardiac effects of N6,N6,2'-O-trialkyl-, N6,2'-O-dialkyl-, and 2'-O-alkyladenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphates

The alkylation of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphate (cAMP, 1) with alkyl bromides was investigated and various new alkylated cAMP derivatives, N6,N6,2'-O-trialkyl cAMPs (2), N6,2'-O-dialkyl cAMPs (3) and 2'-O-alkyl cAMPs (4), were prepared by a one step reaction without the introduction of a protecting group into 1. Compounds (2) were synthesized from 1 by treatment with alkyl bromides in the presence of NaH or potassium tert-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide. Compounds (3) were also synthesized from 1 under conditions similar to those of the synthesis of 2 except for the use of MeONa as a base. Compounds (4) were prepared from 1 by treatment with alkyl bromides in the presence of 18-crown-6 in dioxane-aqueous KOH solution. N6,2'-O-Dibenzyl cAMP (3e) was obtained from 1 by the same method as the preparation of 4. These new alkylated derivatives were evaluated for cardiotonic activity in vitro. Some of them showed weak positive inotropic effects and strong negative chronotropic effects. Thus, the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl group seemed to be essential for the appearance of potent positive inotropic activity caused by cAMP derivatives.     

Oligomerization and regioselective hydrosilylation of styrenes catalyzed by cationic allyl nickel complexes bearing allylphosphine ligands

The complexes [Ni(eta(3)-CH(2)CHCH(2))Br(kappa(1)P-PR(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))] (R = Ph 1, (i)Pr2 ) and [Ni(eta(3)-CH(2)C(R')CH(2))(kappa(1)P-PR(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))(2)][BAr'(4)] (R' = H, R = Ph 4a, R = (i)Pr 4b; R' = CH(3), R = Ph 5a, R = (i)Pr 5b; Ar' = 3,5-C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2)) have been prepared and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of 1, 2 and 5b have been determined. 4a-b and 5a-b are catalyst precursors for the oligomerization of RC(6)H(4)CH=CH(2) to oligostyrene (R = H) or oligo(4-methylstyrene) (R = CH(3)) respectively, without the need of a co-catalyst such as methylalumoxane. The catalytic activities range from moderate to high. The oligomerization reactions are carried out in the temperature interval 25-40 degrees C in 1,2-dichloroethane, using an olefin/catalyst ratio equal to 200, yielding oligostyrenes with a high isotactic fraction content P(m), with M(n) in the range 700-1900 Dalton, and polydispersities between 1.22 and 1.64. The cationic complexes 4a-b and 5a-b are also effective catalyst precursors for the hydrosilylation reactions of styrene or 4-methylstyrene with PhSiH(3) in 1,2-dichloroethane at 40 degrees C using an olefin/catalyst ratio equal to 100, leading selectively to RC(6)H(4)CH(SiH(2)Ph)CH(3) (R = H, CH(3)) in 50-79% yield.
