A simple synthesis of 4‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐1H‐benzo[g]indoles

The reaction of methyl 2‐(3‐chloro‐1,4‐dioxo‐1,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2‐yl)propenoate ( 2a ) with primary amines gave 4‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxycarbonyl‐1H‐benzo[g]indoles 5a‐f as major compounds and 3‐methoxycarbonyl‐4,9‐dioxo‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐benzo[f]indoles 6a‐d as minor ones. Whereas the reaction of 3‐(3‐chloro‐1,4‐dioxo‐1,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2‐yl)‐3‐buten‐2‐one ( 2b ) with primary amines afforded the corresponding 1H‐benzo[g]indoles 5g‐i as major products and 3‐acetyl‐4,9‐dihydro‐4,9‐dioxo‐1H‐benzo[f]indoles 7g, h as minor products.     

The behavior of 2‐thioxo‐4‐thiazolidinones toward organophosphorus reagents

The reaction of 2‐thioxo‐4‐thiazolidinone ( 1a ) with phosphorus ylides 2a and 2b afforded compounds 5 and 6. On the other hand, formylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (2c) reacts with 1a and its N‐methyl derivative 1b to give the new complicated phosphonium ylides 7a,b, respectively. Reactions of 1b with ylides 2a and 2d gave rise to the olefinic compound 8 and the new phosphorane product 9. Moreover, dialkyl phosphites 3a,b and trialkyl phosphites 4a–c react with 1a to give both the alkylated products 10a–c and the dimeric compounds 11,12. A mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of the new products.© 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 337–341, 1999

A simple synthesis of 5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐phenyl‐1,3‐dioxin‐4‐ones and ethyl 3‐benzoyl‐4‐oxo‐2,6‐diphenylpyran‐5‐carboxylate

4‐Ethoxycarbonyl‐5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydrofuran‐2,3‐dione 1 reacts with aldehydes via the acylketene intermediate 2 giving the 1,3‐dioxin‐4‐ones 3a‐e and the 1,4‐bis(5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐4‐oxo‐6‐phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐dioxin‐2‐yl)benzene 4 , and a one step reaction between dibenzoylmethane and oxalylchloride gave 3,5‐dibenzoyl‐2,6‐diphenyl‐4‐pyrone 7 . The reaction of 1 with dibenzoylmethane, a dicarbonyl compound, provided ethyl 3‐benzoyl‐4‐oxo‐2,6‐diphenylpyran‐5‐carboxylate derivative 9 . Compound 9 was converted into the corresponding ethyl 3‐benzoyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,6‐diphenylpyridine‐5‐carboxylate derivative 10 via its reaction with ammonium hydroxyde solution in 1 ‐butanol.

Microwave induced synthesis of the thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione motif and the efficient solvent free‐solid phase parallel syntheses of 5‐benzylidene‐thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione and 5‐benzylidene‐2‐thioxo‐thiazolidine‐4‐one compounds

Novel microwave induced method for the synthesis of thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione motif under solvent phase conditions is developed. Further we report an efficient, microwave assisted method for the parallel syntheses of biologically important 5‐benzylidene‐thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione and 5‐benzylidene‐2‐thioxothiazolidine‐4‐one compounds under solid‐phase and solvent‐free conditions. A comparative study between the developed microwave methods and the conventional methods is described. We have also illustrated the possible mechanism behind to address the reason why piperidine, acetic acid and silica gel enhanced the Knoevenagel condensation reaction.

CuBr‐catalysed one‐pot multicomponent synthesis of 3‐substituted 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives

A novel methodology is presented for the synthesis of 3‐substituted 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives based on an efficient tandem multicomponent reaction using copper bromide as catalyst. This methodology is based on the multicomponent one‐pot reaction of methyl 2‐bromobenzoate, phenylisothiocyanate derivatives and sodium azide in the presence of copper bromide and l ‐proline under basic conditions. To show the generality of the method, various phenylisothiocyanates bearing electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing functionalities were used and the desired products were obtained in high isolated yields.

Hydrogen‐bonded chains of rings in 1‐(4‐chloroanilinomethyl)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 1‐anilinomethyl‐5‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione

In 1‐(4‐chloroanilinomethyl)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione, C₁₆H₁₆Cl₂N₄S, there are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit which form inversion dimers via two weak N—H...S hydrogen bonds. The dimers are then linked into C(9)C(14) chains by a C—H...S hydrogen bond and a C—H...Cl contact. In 1‐(anilinomethyl)‐5‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione, C₁₆H₁₈N₄S, molecules are linked into complex sheets via a combination of N—H...S and C—H...π hydrogen bonds.

Convenient synthesis of novel 5‐substituted 3‐methylisoxazole‐4‐sulfonamides

A number of novel sulfonamide derivatives of 5‐substituted‐3‐methylisoxazole were synthesized and characterized, starting from 3,5‐dimethylisoxazole. Key steps include the generation of 3,5‐dimethylisoxazole‐4‐sulfonamides followed by their reactions with N‐(dimethoxymethyl)‐N,N‐dimethylamine or various aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes. As a result, a series of novel aryl/heteroaryl‐ and aminovinylsubstituted derivatives of the isoxazole heterocycle were obtained. The scope and limitations of the developed approach are discussed.

Thiol–thione tautomeric forms recognition on the example of 4‐[3‐(2‐methyl‐furan‐3‐yl)‐5‐thioxo‐1,2,4‐triazolin‐4‐yl]acetic acid

The synthesis of 4‐[3‐(2‐methyl‐furan‐3‐yl)‐5‐thioxo‐1,2,4‐triazolin‐4‐yl]acetic acid, its structural study in the solid state, and the thiol–thione tautomeric recognition on the basis of spectroscopic data and theoretical calculations are presented. It is shown that NMR spectra, especially ¹³C and ¹⁵N, are indicative of the actual tautomeric form whereas vibrational data can be ambiguous. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
