Functional polymers. XXVII: 2[2-hydroxy-4-acryloxy(methacryloxy)phenyl]2H-benzotriazole: Monomers,polymers, and copolymers

2(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole has been prepared in about 50% yield by condensation ofo-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride with resorcinol followed by reductive cyclization of the initially obtained azo compound with zinc and sodium hydroxide. The condensation of the diazonium salt had to be carried out under carefully controlled conditions and in acidic medium, otherwise bis-condensation occurred which, after reductive cyclization, yielded 2(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)1,3-2H-dibenzotriazole. 2(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole was allowed to react with acryloyl or methacryloyl chloride. Monoacylation in the 4-position occurred by interfacial acylation technique and 2[2-hydroxy-4-acryloxy (or 4-methacryloxy)]2H-benzotriazole was obtained in over 60% yield. The two monomers were homopolymerized and copolymerized with styrene, methyl methacrylate, andn-butyl acrylate to polymers of high molecular weight. Incorporation of 2[2-hydroxy-4-acryloxy (or 4-methacryloxy)]2H-benzotriazole into the copolymer was from 1 to 10 mol% of the comonomer mixture. The ultraviolet spectra of monomers, homo- and copolymers were also determined.This paper is dedicated to Professor Dr.Karl Schlögl on the occasion of his 60th birthday with our warmest wishes.     

Functional polymers LII Synthesis and polycondensation of 2(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)2H-1,3-bis[4-carboxy (or 4-carbomethoxy)2H-benzotriazole]

Carboxy- and carbomethoxy derivatives of resorcinols with two benzotriazole substituents have been synthesized. 2(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)2H-1,3-bis-(4-carboxybenzotriazole) [2,4-bis(2H-4-carboxybenzotriazole-2-yl)-1,3-dihydroxybenzene] (DCBDH) was prepared by azo coupling of 4-carboxy-2-nitrobenzene diazonium chloride with resorcinol followed by reductive cyclization. 2(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)2H-1,3-bis(4-carbomethoxy-benzotriazole) [2,4-bis-(2H-4-carbomethoxy-benzotriazole-2-yl)-1,3-dihydroxybenzene] (DCMBDH) was obtained by esterification of the free dicarboxylic acid with methanol. The compounds were characterized by their elemental analyses and melting points, and by their IR, UV,¹H NMR, and¹³C NMR spectra.Copolycondensations were carried out to incorporateDCBDH orDCMBDH into polyamides or polyesters. The condensation copolymers were briefly characterized.Functional Polymers LI:M. D. Purgett,W. J. MacKnight, andO. Vogl, Polym. Eng. and Sci.27(19), 1461 (1987)     

Functional polymers. XXI

Several 2(2-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazoles with more than one benzotriazole group substituted on di- and trihydroxybenzenes were synthesized by azo coupling ofo-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride with resorcinol or phloroglucinol followed by reductive cyclization with zinc powder and sodium hydroxide. By careful diazonium coupling witho-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride, the monobenzotriazyl compound, 4(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)1,3-dihydroxybenzene [2(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole] was obtained. All compounds have unusual spectral characteristics with high extinction coefficients, cut off of the absorption below 400 nm and are excellent candidates for ultraviolet stabilizers.     

Characterization and TG-MS studies of lactato and bipyridine-lactato complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II)

Two lactates and four new mixed ligand complexes with formulae Co(lact)₂·2H₂O, Ni(lact)₂·3H₂O, Co(4-bpy)(lact)₂, Co(2,4'-bpy)₂(lact)₂, Ni(4-bpy)(lact)₂·2H₂O and Ni(2,4'-bpy)₂(lact)₂ (where 4-bpy=4,4'-bipyridine, 2,4'-bpy=2,4'-bipyridine, lact=CH₃CH(OH)COO^-) were isolated and investigated. The thermal behaviour of compounds was studied by thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA). In the case of hydrated complexes thermal decomposition starts with the release of water molecules. The compounds decompose at high temperature to metal(II) oxides in air. A coupled TG-MS system was used to analyse the principal volatile products of thermolysis and fragmentation processes of obtained complexes.

Synthesis of new methylated thieno[2,3‐a] and [3,2‐b]carbazoles by reductive cyclization of 6‐(2′‐Nitrophenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes obtained by palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling isabel

The synthesis of new methylated thieno[2,3‐a] and [3,2‐b]carbazoles (5) (R=H) was achieved by a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling, intramolecular reductive cyclization sequence of reactions. The cyclization precursors 6‐(2′‐nitrophenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes (3) were obtained by Suzuki cross‐coupling of 6‐boronated methylbenzo[b]thiophenes intermediates (2) with 2‐bromo or iodonitrobenzene. The boronated intermediates (2) were prepared via bromine‐lithium exchange followed by boron transmetalation and coupled in situ using Pd(OAc)₂ giving thus a “one‐pot” three steps reaction from the 6‐bromobenzo[b]thio‐phenes (1) to the cyclization precursors (3) . In the reductive cyclization step, N‐ethylthienocarbazoles (5) (R=Et) were also obtained. Several experiments have been made varying the amount of triethylphosphite and the time of reaction, to avoid their formation.     

Synthesis, thermal and other studies of 2,4'-bipyridine-dichloroacetato complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)

Four new mixed ligand complexes were prepared by the reaction of title metal dichloroacetates and 2,4'-bipyridine. The general formulae of synthesized compounds are M(2,4'-bpy)₂(CCl₂HCOO)₂·nH₂O (where M(II)=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu; 2,4'-bpy=2,4'-bipyridine, n=2 or 4). The complexes have been isolated from aqueous media and characterized by chemical analysis, molar conductance (in MeOH, DMSO and DMF), magnetic, IR and VIS spectral studies. The nature of metal(II)-ligand coordination is discussed. The thermal behaviour of obtained complexes was studied by thermal analysis and TG-MS techniques in air. IR, X-ray powder diffraction and thermoanalytical data were used for the determination of solid intermediate products of the thermal decomposition. The principal volatile products of thermal decomposition of complexes were proved by mass spectroscopy: H₂O⁺, CO⁺ ₂, HCl⁺ ₂, Cl⁺ ₂, NO⁺ and other.

Straightforward Preparation of (2E,4Z)-2,4-Heptadien-1-ol and (2E,4Z)-2,4-Heptadienal

Abstract

A concise synthesis of (2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadien-1-ol and (2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadienal is presented. Commercially available (Z)-2-penten-1-ol was converted to ethyl-(2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadienoate by reaction with activated MnO₂ and (carboethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane in the presence of benzoic acid as a catalyst. Ethyl-(2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadienoate was converted to (2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadien-1-ol with LiAlH₄. The alcohol was partially oxidized to (2E,4Z)-2,4-heptadienal with MnO₂. The title compounds are male-specific, antennally active volatile compounds from the Saltcedar leaf beetle, Diorhabda elongata Brulle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and have potential use in the biological control of the invasive weed saltcedar (Tamarix spp).     

Oxidation of Methyl Function of 3,3-(3-Fluorobenzyl)-2-Propanone by Thionyl Chloride

In the presence of a catalytic amount of a tertiary amine, thionyl chloride generally oxidizes carboxylic acids^1,2 and ketones¹ at α carbon atoms to form α-chloro-α-chlorosulfenyl derivatives and their subsequent reaction products. Examination of reaction mixtures of thionyl chloride with a number of variously substituted 4-aryl-2-butanones revealed that in the case of the 3-methoxy or 3-hydroxy derivatives, cyclization onto the aromatic ring to form a benzo[b] thiophene competes quite favorably with cyclization onto enol to form a thietanone.⁴ The results were consistent only with thionyl chloride oxidation proceeding exclusively at the methylene position.     

Synthesis of 2‐Coumarinyl and Spiroindolyl‐5‐Phenyl‐1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles

The 2H‐1‐benzo/naphthopyran‐2‐one‐4‐yl (un)substituted phenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles has been synthesized by the oxidative cyclization of benzoic acid hydrazides formed in situ by the condensation of the respective 2H‐1‐benzo/naphthopyran‐2‐one‐4‐carboxaldehyde and (un)substituted monobenzoyl hydrazide in moderate yields. Also, spiro[indoline‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐diones has been syhthesized in a similar way from 3‐phenyl‐spiro[3H‐indoline‐3,2′‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐(1 H)dione monohydrazide and (un)substituted benzaldehydes.     

Iron(III) and nickel(II) template complexes derived from benzophenone thiosemicarbazones

New iron(III) and nickel(II) chelates were synthesized by template reaction of 2,4-dihydroxy- and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone S-methylthiosemicarbazones with 2-hydroxy- and 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehydes. The template complexes were isolated as stable solids and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic measurements, IR, ¹H NMR, UV–Visible, and mass spectra. The crystal structure of N ¹-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)(phenyl)methylene-N ⁴-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)methylene-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazidato-Fe(III) was determined by X-ray diffraction. A five-coordinate, distorted square-pyramidal geometry was established crystallographically for the iron(III) complex. Cytotoxicity and proliferation properties were determined using human erythromyeloblastoid leukemia and HL-60 mouse promyelocytic leukemia cell lines. For K 562 and HL-60 cells, compounds 1a and 2b were found to be cytotoxic at concentrations of 10 and 20 µg mL^?1.

A new synthesis of A-nor△3(5), 9 (10) -estradiene-2,17-dione

A-nor-△³⁽⁵⁾’⁹⁽¹⁰⁾-estradiene-2, 17-dione 1, a potential precursor for synthesis of some new steroidal contraceptlves, was synthesized from 3Phydroxy-5a-chloro-6ß, 19-epoxy-androstane-17-one 6 as the starting rnateri-al, which is the key intermediate of steroidal contraceptive of norethindrone, in an overall yield of 25 % in 5 steps through the sequence of 5 reactions: (i) oxidative decyclization. (ii) decarboxylative cyclization, (iii) reductive decy-clization, (iv) dehydroxy methylation, (v) deacetoxylation.     

Alkylation Reactions at the Benzo Moiety of 2,4‐Dimethoxy‐3‐(phenylsulfonyl)benzo[a]heptalenes – Model Compounds of Colchicinoids

Alkylation reactions of 3‐(X‐sulfonyl)benzo[a]heptalene‐2,4‐diols (X=Ph, morpholin‐4‐yl) and their dimethyl ethers were studied. The diols form with K₂CO₃/MeI in aqueous media the 1‐methylated benzoheptalenes, but in yields not surpassing 20% (Table 1). On the other hand, 2,4‐dimethoxybenzo[a]heptalenes can easily be lithiated at C(3) with BuLi and then treated with alkyl iodides to give the 3‐alkylated forms in good yield (Table 2). Surprising is the reaction with two equiv. or more of t‐BuLi since the alkylation at C(4) is accompanied by the reductive elimination of the X‐sulfonyl group at C(3) (Table 3). Most exciting is also the course of 2,4‐dimethoxy‐3‐(phenylsulfonyl)benzo[a]heptalenes in the presence of an excess of MeLi. After the expected exchange of MeO against Me at C(4) (Scheme 6), rearrangement takes place under formation of 4‐benzyl‐2‐methoxybenzo[a]heptalenes and concomitant loss of the sulfonyl group at C(3) (Table 4). In the case of X=morpholin‐4‐yl, rearrangement cannot occur. However, the intermediate benzyl anions of Type E (Scheme 8) react easily with O₂ of the air to build up corresponding benzo[a]heptalene‐4‐methanols (Table 6).     

Functional polymers. XII: Synthesis and polymerization of 2(2-vinyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole and 2(3-vinyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole

Condensation of diazotizedo-nitroaniline with 3-ethylphenol or with 2-ethylphenol followed by reduction of the resulting azo compound with zinc dust in sodium hydroxide solution gave 2-(2-ethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole and 2(3-ethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole, respectively. The individual compounds were acetylated, brominated withN-bromosuccinimide to the corresponding 1-bromoethyl compounds which were then dehydrobrominated with triethyl amine in acetonitrile and hydrolyzed to 2(2-vinyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole or 2(3-vinyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole. The two monomers could be polymerized and copolymerized with styrene and methyl methacrylate. The ethyl as well as the vinyl compounds and the corresponding polymers, when tested, are ineffective as ultraviolet absorbers as they have structures of 4-hydroxyphenyl rather than 2-hydroxyphenyl compounds with respect to the benzotriazole ring. A careful NMR analysis for the correct structural assignment is also described.Part XI:S. Yoshida andO. Vogl, Makromol. Chem., in press.     

A Simple,Convenient, and Efficient Synthetic Route for The Preparation of (Z)‐3,5‐Dichloro‐N‐(3‐(4‐substitutedphenyl)‐4‐phenylthiazole‐2(3H)‐ylide)benzamide Heterocyclic Compounds from Aroyl Thiourea Derivatives via S‐cyclization Mechanism

A series of variously substituted 1,3‐thiazole heterocyclic compounds ( 3a – 3d ) were prepared by base‐catalyzed S‐cyclization of corresponding 2,4‐dichloro‐N‐{[(4‐substitutedphenyl)amino]carbonothioyl}benzamide ( 2a – 2d ) with acetophenone in the presence of bromine. The structure of all compounds was established by IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, elemental analysis, and X‐ray crystallographic analysis.     

A new and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-(2-nitrophenyl)pyruvic acid derivatives and indoles based on the Reissert reaction

The formation of 3-(2-nitrophenyl)pyruvic acid and its amide and ester derivatives – key compounds for the Reissert indole synthesis – was achieved under various reaction conditions via the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 5-(2-nitrobenzyliden)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-4-one, which is readily available from 3-(2-nitrophenyl)oxirane-2-carboxamide. A new and highly efficient method for the synthesis of indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives via the intramolecular reductive cyclization of o-nitrophenylpyruvic acid and its amide and ester derivatives was developed using Na₂S₂O₄ in dioxane/water at reflux.     

13C NMR spectra of non-labelled and 15N-mono-labelled azo dyes

¹³C NMR spectra of four types of azo coupling products from benzenediazonium chloride have been measured and interpreted, viz. hydrazo compounds with an intramolecular hydrogen bond (3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole-4,5-dione 4-phenylhydrazone), azo compounds without an intramolecular hydrogen bond (4-hydroxyazobenzene), azo compounds with an intramolecular hydrogen bond (2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylazobenzene) and an equilibrium mixture of both the tautomers of 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol. The absolute values of the J(¹⁵N¹³C) coupling constants have been determined by recording the spectra of the ¹⁵N isotopomers, and have been used, in some cases, for ¹³C signal assignment. A relationship has been found between the chemical shifts of the C-1′ to C-4′ carbons of the phenyl group (from the benzenediazonium ion) or the ¹J(¹⁵N¹³C) coupling constant, and the composition of the tautomeric mixture.     

Spectrometric Determination of Nitrite in Aqueous Solution by the Diazotization-Coupling Method with p-Aminobenzophenone-N-(1-Naphthyl)-Ethylenediamine

Abstract

Nitrite ion at low concentration is determined spectrometrically by diazotization of p-aminobenzo-phenone and coupling of the resulting diazonium cation with N-(1-naphthy1)-ethylene-diamine to form a reddish-violet coloured water-soluble azo dye with maximum absorption at 555 nm. The method is suitable for the determination of nitrite over the range of 0.04–1.00 ppm. Beer's law is obeyed over this range of concentrations. The observed molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the azo dye are 7.0 × 10⁴ mol^?1 cm^?1 and 6.5 × 10^?4 μg cm^?2, respectively. Interferences due to other ions were studied to test the selectivity.     

Ru(II)-PBTNNXN complex bearing functional 2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazole ligand catalyzed α-alkylation of nitriles with alcohols

Six tridentate NNN ligand precursors derived from 2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazole(PBT) with different linkers, ^PBTNN^XN (X = NH, NMe, O, S) ( 1a – 1f ), have been successfully prepared. The electronic properties of ^PBTNN^XN ligands are well tunable by differing linkers between PBT skeleton and the pyridine ring, and/or by introducing electron-donating/withdrawing groups on the pyridine ring (R = OMe or F). The ligand precursors and representative complexes Ru (^PBTNN^NHN)Cl₂(PPh₃) ( 2a ), Ru (^PBTNN^NMeN)Cl₂(PPh₃) ( 2b ), and Ru (^PBTNN^SN)Cl₂(PPh₃) ( 2f ) have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The molecular structures of 1f , 2a , and 2f have been determined by X-ray diffraction study. The results indicate that ^PBTNN^NHN ligand in the complex presented coplanar with two five-membered chelating rings. It should be noted that 2a featuring a NH group exhibits superior performance compared to those with other linkers (such as NMe, O, or S). A variety of heterocyclic and aromatic nitriles with aromatic and aliphatic alcohols have been explored in α-alkylation for good to excellent yields. Based on kinetic experiments and mechanistic studies, a proposed mechanism was put forward. Ru-H species and benzaldehyde, which was oxidized from benzyl alcohol, were detected in the catalytic cycle.
