Transformations of Acylation Products of Functionally 4-Substituted 2-Alkyl(aryl)-5-hydrazino-1,3-oxazoles into 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives

Acylation products of 2-aryl-5-hydrazino-4-X-1,3-oxazoles [X = C(O)OAlk, P(O)(OAlk)²], when heated in acetic acid or ethanol, undergo recyclization and transform into the derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylglycine or its phosphonyl analog. A similar rearrangement also occurs in the reactions of 2-alkyl(aryl)-5-hydrazino-1,3-oxazole-4-carbonitriles with carboxylic acid chlorides in pyridine, but it is accompanied by additional cyclization involving the amide residue and nitrile group, yielding 2-(5-amino-1,3-oxazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2005, pp. 461–467.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Golovchenko, Pil’o, Brovarets, Chernega, Drach.     

Researches on 1, 2, 4-triazoles

Determination of the acidity constants of 1-aryltetrazolinethiones-5, 4-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinethiones-3, 1-aryltetrazolinones-5, 4-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinones-3 shows that carbonyl compounds are 10^–1–10^–2 times less acid than compounds with a thione group. Acidities are found to increase considerably, 10³–10⁴ times, on passing from triazole compounds to tetrazole ones. 4-Aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinones-3 and 1-aryl-tetrazolinones-5 are aminomethylated and cyanoethylated and the reactions found to take place at the amide nitrogen atom.For Part VI see [1].     

Stevens rearrangement of ammonium salts containing 2-propynyloxy or tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl groups

The Stevens rearrangement of ammonium salts containing 2-alkenyl, 2-alkynyl, or benzyl groups along with 2-propynyloxy or tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl was studied. Under the action of a suspension of sodium phenolate in benzene the salts containing a 2-propynyloxycarbonylmethyl group form 2-propynyl esters of 2-dialkylamino-4-pentenoic acids, whereas with sodium methylate as the basic reagent, rearrangement is preceded by an almost complete transesterification. The salts containing a tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl group undergo almost no transesterification under the action of sodium methylate. The tert-butyl fragment in the ester group of the salt with a benzyl group exerts a fairly strong effect on the regiochemistry of the rearrangement and on the prototropic isomerization of the 3,2-Stevens rearrangement of the salts with 2-butynyl or 3-phenyl-2-propynyl groups.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 8, 2004, pp. 1321–1326.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Babakhanyan, Ovakimyan, Grigoryan, Kocharyan.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Cyclopropanation of N-Substituted 2-Oxochromene- and 6-Bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides with Zinc Enolates Derived from 1-Aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones

Zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones react with N-cyclohexyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides to give N-cyclohexyl-1-alkyl-1-aroyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides mainly as cis isomers with respect to the substituents in positions 1 and 1a. Reactions of the same zinc enolates with N-benzyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide and N-benzyl-6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide lead to formation of 1-aryl-2-benzyl- and 1-aryl-2-benzyl-6-bromo-1-hydroxy-9c-alkyl-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-azacyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones. The reaction of zinc enolates with N-aryl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides in a weakly polar solvent (diethyl ether or ethyl acetate) affords mixtures of cis-N-aryl-1-aroyl-1-alkyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides and their cyclic isomers, 9c-alkyl-1,2-diaryl-1-hydroxy-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-azacyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones, the latter prevailing. N-Substituted 1-alkyl-1-aroyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides in which the aroyl group on C¹ and the carboxamide group on C^1a are arranged trans are formed by reactions of zinc enolates with the corresponding 2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 539–546.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by V.

Naturally-occurring acetylenic compounds and derivatives : Regio- and stereocontrolled chloroformylation of 2-(1-propynyl)thiophene and 2-phenyl-5-(1-propynyl)thiophene

2-Phenyl-5-(1-propynyl)thiophene (1), isolated from Coreopsis grandiflora, and 2-(1-propynyl)thiophene (5), an immediate precursor in the synthesis of junipal (2), were synthesized in high yield by a Pd-catalyzed reaction between propyne and 2-iodo-5-phenylthiophene (4) or 2-iodothiophene (6), respectively. Reaction of 5 with the Vilsmeier reagent derived from POCl₃ and N-methylformanilide (MFA) afforded a mixture from which it was possible to isolate (E)-3-chloro-2-methyl-3-(2-thienyl)acrolein (10) in 37.7% yield. The structure and stereochemistry of 10 was unequivocally established by X-ray diffraction of a single crystal of the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of 10. GLC analysis showed that 10 was contaminated by ca 7% with an isomer to which, on the basis of ¹H-NMR and mass spectra, the structure of (Z)-3-chloro-2-methyl-3-(2-thienyl)acrolein (11) was attributed.Contrary to what was expected from the literature, junipal (2) represented only a minor component in the reaction mixture obtained by the Vilsmeier reaction on 5.Reaction of 1 with POCl₃ and MFA afforded (44.6% yield) a (E)-3-chloro-2-methylacrolein to which the structure 15 was attributed. Compound 15 was also contaminated by ca 10% of an isomer 16, which very probably corresponded to the (Z)-stereoisomer of 15.

Depending on the conditions, bromination of 4-aryl-5-nitro-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones and subsequent dehydrobromination gives either 4-aryl-5-nitro-6-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones or their mixtures with the corresponding 4-aryl-5-bromo-6-methoxy-5-nitro-6-phenyltetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones which are formed as two diastereoisomers.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2005, pp. 425–430.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Sedova, Gatilov, Shkurko.     

Reactions of Substituted 2,3,7-Triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-enes and 1,2,7-Triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-enes with Halogens

Halogenation of 1-substituted 7-aryl-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones gives different products, depending on the substituent in position 1 (R¹): when R¹ = Ar, 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes are formed, while compounds with R¹ = H or Me give rise to 2- or 4-chloro-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones whose thermolysis leads to formation of the corresponding 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. Chlorination of 7-aryl-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones yields 3-chloro-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones, and thermolysis of the latter affords 1-chloro-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptanes.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 78–88.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Molchanov, Stepakov, Kostikov.
