A novel redox reaction between 8-aza-5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone and alkyl mercaptoacetates

[reaction: see text] 8-Aza-5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone reacts with alkyl mercaptoacetates to give pyrido derivatives of 2-oxa-7-thiabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, which undergo the reductive ring-opening to sulfanyl acetates. The latter compounds are useful CF(3)-containing building blocks for the preparation of a variety of 2-pyridone derivatives.     

Facile one-pot synthesis of N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridone derivatives

[reaction: see text] A novel one-pot synthesis of N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridones is described. N-(Pyridin-2-yl)acetamide derivatives were excellent precursors for the preparation of N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridone derivatives. Difluoromethylation of 2-acetaminopyridine derivatives was achieved with sodium chlorodifluoroacetate as a difluorocarbene source in the presence of a catalytic amount of 18-crown-6. Subsequent in situ hydrolysis of resultant 1,2-dihydro-2-acetimino-1-difluoromethylpyridines proceeded under mild acidic conditions to afford the corresponding N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridones in moderate to good yields.     

Facile conversion of CF3-containing propargylic alcohol derivatives via the corresponding allenes

Empirical information on the acidity of the propargylic proton from our previous work allowed us to develop novel synthetic transformations of readily available terminally trifluoromethylated propargylic alcohols 1 into the corresponding allenyl tosylates 3a, 1-tosyloxy- or 1-acyloxy-4,4,4-trifluorobutan-2-ones 4, and 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)prop-2-en-1-ones 5, which was enabled by such common bases as NaOH and tertiary amines for affecting ready abstraction of this proton.     

2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones. 12. Nitration of 5,7-dimethyl-2-polyhaloalkylchromones and complete assignment of signals in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone and its mono- and dinitro derivatives

The nitration of 5,7-dimethyl-2-polyhaloalkylchromones affords either 5,7-dimethyl-6-nitro- or 5,7-dimethyl-6,8-dinitro-2-polyhaloalkylchromones, depending on the reaction conditions. Signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the sterically hindered chromones were completely assigned using the 2D NOESY, HETCOR, and COLOC spectra. The influence of nonplanar nitro groups on chemical shifts of carbon atoms was studied. Some spectral peculiarities of the peri-methyl group were revealed. The ¹H-¹H and ¹³C-¹H spin-spin coupling constants, including the extreme six-bond long-range coupling between the protons of the Me(5) group and H(8), were determined.

Facile synthesis of benzimidazole bearing 2-pyridone derivatives as potential antimicrobial agents

A series of benzimidazole bearing 2-pyridones 5a-k were synthesized and assessed in vitro for their activity as antimicrobial agents using the conventional broth dilution method. The results of the antimicrobial study revealed that compounds 5b, 5c, Sj and 5k exhibited substantial antibacterial activity while compound 5d emerged as amore potent antifungal agent compared to the standard drugs chloramphenicol and ketoconazole, respectively. It was observed that the presence of inductively electron withdrawing groups remarkably enhance the antibacterial activity of the newly synthesized compounds. Cytotoxicity studies suggested that none of the tested compounds exhibited any significant cytotoxic effects.     

Microwave-promoted synthesis of amino-substituted 2-pyridone derivatives via palladium-catalyzed amination reaction

A rapid and efficient synthesis of amino-substituted 2-pyridones was demonstrated by palladium-catalyzed amination reaction under microwave irradiation. This high-speed synthesis provided a number of amino-substituted 2-pyridones from the corresponding bromo-2-benzyloxypyridines via palladium-catalyzed amination followed by hydrogenolysis of benzyl ether.     

A new method for the synthesis of CF3-containing aminovinyl ketones

A new method for the synthesis of aminovinyl trifluoromethyl ketones was developed. The method is based on the reactions of 4-sulfonyl-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-ene-2,2-diols with various alkyl-, aryl-, dialkyl-, and alkylarylamines. The stereochemistry of the compounds obtained was studied.     

A three component one-pot synthesis of N-amino-2-pyridone derivatives catalyzed by KF-Al2O3

Synthesis of 1,6-diamino-4-phenyl-3,5-dicyano-2-pyridone derivatives via a one-pot, three-component reaction of aryl aldehydes, malononitrile, and cyanoacetic hydrazide at room temperature using KF-Al₂O₃ as a recyclable catalyst have been developed. The reaction proceeds through the initial Knoevenagel condensation between aldehyde and malononitrile in the presence of KF-Al₂O₃ to form the benzylidene derivative which then undergoes Michael addition with cyanoacetic hydrazide followed by intramolecular cyclization of the resulting intermediate to produce the N-amino-2-pyridones in good to excellent yields. The structure of the synthesized compounds were characterized and established on the basis of their spectral data analysis and single-crystal XRD analysis.     

Reaction-phase-selective inter- and intramolecular photochemical reaction of 2-pyridone derivatives

Phase-selective photochemical reaction of 2-pyridone derivatives was examined. Irradiation of 1 in benzene mainly gave rearrangement products 2. However, intermolecular [4 + 4] photocycloaddition proceeded quantitatively in the solid state, affording photodimers 3. An effective pi-pi stacking and dipole-dipole interaction between two pyridone moieties might play important roles in an effective arrangement of 1 for photodimerization in their crystal structures.

Design and synthesis of the novel branched fluorinated surfactant intermediates with CF3CF2CF2C(CF3)2 group

Here we reported a novel and efficient method for the synthesis of the critical intermediates of branched fluorinated surfactants with CF₃CF₂CF₂C (CF₃)₂- group using HFPD as starting material. The reaction conditions were mild and easy to handle, which was promisingly applied to the industrial production.     

The synthesis of 3-deazaorotidine and related nucleoside derivatives of 4-hydroxy-2-pyridone

Condensation of 6-earbethoxy-4-hydroxy-2-pyridone or a silyl derivative of 5-earbomethoxy-4-hydroxy-2-pyridone with 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranosyl halide has provided the 3-deaza analogs of orotidine and uridine-5-carboxylic acid. The corresponding amides have also been prepared in view of their possible structural relationship to l-β-D-ribohiranosyl nicotinamide. Tri-O-benzoyl-3-deazauridine was treated with N-bromosuccinimide to give, after deblocking, 3-bromo-4-hydroxy-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2-pyridone. The anomeric configuration of these nuclcosides was confirmed by pmr spectroscopy.     

Facile synthesis of some novel pyrrole and pyridazinoquinazolone derivatives

3-Dicyanomethylene-3-phenylpropionitrile coupled with diazotized aromatic amines (Ar-NH₂) to afford hydrazono derivatives. The latter (Ar = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, and 4-ClC₆H₄) were readily cyclized upon reflux in aqueous NaOH to 3(2H) pyridazinimine derivatives, which were readily transformed into their corresponding pyridazinone derivatives on reflux in ethanolic HCl. The pyridazinimines undergo reductive cleavage and recyclization via loss of ammonia to afford the corresponding N-aryl pyrroles on reflux in glacial acetic acid with Zn dust. The pyridazinone derivatives, however, undergo the same reaction but with loss of the aromatic amine moiety to afford only one pyrrolone derivative. The hydrazono derivative (Ar = 2-NCC₆H₄) was cyclized into pyridazino[3,2-b]quinazolin-6-imine, which is easily converted into pyridazino[3,2-b]quinazolin-6-one on reflux in ethanolic HCl. The latter compound is also obtained from the hydrazo derivatives (Ar = 2-HOOCC₆H₄ and 2-MeOOCC₆H₄) by reflux in aqueous NaOH.

Formation of benzofuran and 2H-chromene structures in one reaction. A novel synthesis of 2H-chromene derivatives

Heating the morpholinal of nitrosalicylic aldehyde with methyl propiolate in acetonitrile in the presence of Cul affords an equimolar mixture of 2-methoxycarbonylmethyl-3-morpholino-5-nitrobenzofuran and 3-methoxycarbonyl-2-morpholino-6-nitro-2H-chromene, the structures of which were determined by X-ray analysis. Only the 2H-chromene mentioned above was obtained in the absence of Cul and solvent.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1222–1228, May, 1996.
