The Oxidation and Reduction of 4-Formyl-and 4-Acetyl-3-Arylsydnones

A convenient method to prepare methyl 3-arylsydnonylacetate (I) from 4-acetyl-3-arylsydnone with thallium (III) nitrate by oxidative rearrangement was investigated. 4-Formyl-3-arylsydnones were reduced by sodium borohydride at room temperature to produce 4-hydroxymethyl-3-arylsydnones (II) in moderate yields (65%-85%), but the corresponding 3-aryl-4-sydnonecarboxaldehyde arylhydrazone (III) was obtained by the electrolytic reduction.     

Efficient syntheses of thiadiazoline and thiadiazole derivatives by the cyclization of 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone thiosemicarbazones with acetic anhydride and ferric chloride

3-Aryl-4-formylsydnone 4′-phenylthiosemicarbazones 3a-d and 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone thiosemicarbazones 3e-h are effective precursors of sydnonyl-substituted heterocycles. The thiosemicarbazones 3a-d reacted with acetic anhydride (4a) to give 4-acetyl-2-phenylamino-5-(3-arylsydnon-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazoles 5a-d and 4-acetyl-2-(N-phenylacetamido)-5-(3-arylsydnon-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazoles 6a-d. However, under similar method, thiosemicarbazones 3e-h produced only 4-acetyl-2-acetamido-5-(3-arylsydnon-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazoles 6e-h in high yield. The sydnonyl-substituted thiadiazole derivatives 7a-h were also obtained successfully by the cyclization of 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone thiosemicarbazones 3a-h with ferric chloride (4b). In the cyclization, the thiosemicarbazones 3a-d are more reactive than the thiosemicarbazones 3e-h.     

Preparation of 3-Aryl-4-(5-ARYL-Δ2-1,2,4-Oxadiazolin-3-YL)Sydnones and their Conversion into 3-ARYL-4-(5-ARYL-1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-YL)Sydnones

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.     

Synthesis of Arylidene Derivatives of 1-Aryl-3H-pyrrol-2-ones

The aminolysis of 5-aryl-3-arylidene-3H-furan-2-ones by the action of aromatic amines leads to the formation of substituted amides of 4-oxo acids, the subsequent azacyclization of which in the presence of acetic anhydride leads to the formation of 1,5-diaryl-substituted 3-arylidene-3H-pyrrol-2-ones. The mechanism of the occurring and alternative transformations is discussed.     

Reactions of 3-(4-Aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-Benzothiazolyl)-2-iminocoumarins with N-Nucleophiles

The reaction of 3-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-iminocoumarins with N-nucleophiles was studied. This reaction gives 2-N-substituted 3-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)iminocourmarins. N-Nucleophiles such as arylamines, heterocyclic amines, and hydrazine derivatives undergo this reaction.     

The Synthesis and Reactions of N-Hydroxy-3-Arylsydnone-4-Carboxamide Oximes

N-Hydroxy-3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (7) were prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbohydroximic acid chlorides (6) and hydroxylamine in high yield. The chemical reactivity of compound (2) is somewhat different from 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (2) in that the former compounds reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalyst to give 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (5) and 3-aryl-4-(5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (3).     

Reactions of 4-Aryl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dithione with Some Electrophilic Reagents

Reaction of 4-aryl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dithiones in an alkaline medium with chloroacetic acid and its derivatives, as well as with -bromo ketones, results in their conversion to 4-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-bis(sulfides). The aminomethylation in a neutral medium leads to the formation of 1-(aminomethyl)-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dithiones.     

Carbon-13 NMR Studies of 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ 2-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones

The ¹³C NMR spectra of twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-l,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-l,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones have been measured and assigned by means of proton-noise decoupling and DEPT-experiments. The coupling constants were determined by means of gated decoupling, and NOE effects were observed by comparison of proton-decoupled and inverse-gated decoupled spectra. Differences shown by the oxadiazoline and the oxadiazole rings and the substitution effects are discussed.     

The Difference in the Behaviour of Hydrazine and p-Substituted Phenylhydrazines on Various 4-(3-Aryl-3-Oxopropenyl) Antipyrines

A series of novel 4-(3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-lH-pyrazol-5-yl)-l, 5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-lH-pyrazol-3(2H)-oncs (III) were synthesized. Thus, the key intermediates, 4-(3-aryl-3-oxopropenyl-1,5- dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-ones (II) were cyclized with hydrazine hydrate containing a few drops of ethanol gave the desired pyrazoline derivatives (III), which can be acetylated to afford the target N-acetyl derivatives (IV). On the other hand, the same reaction condition using p-substituted phenylhydrazines, the starting key intermediates (II) were recovered unchanged. The use of glacial acetic acid instead of ethanol, lead to a new series of 1,3-diarylpyrazoles (VI) by a different pathway. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR and mass spectra.     

The 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 3-Arylsydnone-4-Carbonitrile Oxides with Nitriles

3-Arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides (2), which are generated in situ by thermal dehydrochlorination of the corresponding hydroximic acid chlorides (1), undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with sydnone-4-carbonitriles (6) to give 3-aryl-4-[5-(3-arylsydnonyl)-1,2, 4-oxadiazol-3-yl] sydnones (9). These nitrile oxides (2) also react with alkyl- and arylnitriles to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products.     

Annelation of the thiazole ring to 1,2,4-triazines by tandem AN—AN or SN H—SN H reactions

The reactions of 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazines with aromatic thioamides and 4-arylthiosemicarbazides in acetic anhydride at room temperature afforded cyclic products of the tandem nucleophilic addition reactions, viz., tetrahydrothiazolo[4,5-e]-annelated 1,2,4-triazines, in good yields. The latter underwent aromatization in the presence of potassium permanganate.     

Synthesis of 3-Aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones from Anthranilic Acids and Triethyl Orthoformate

A one-step, convenient approach to the synthesis of 3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones by the reaction of anthranilic acid with triethyl orthoformate in the presence of a catalytic amount of concentrated sulfuric acid has been developed. The possible reaction pathway was proposed.

Oxidation of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolones (1) with 1.5 equivalents of (dichloroiodo)benzene in dichloromethane at room temperature leads to regioselective chlorination, thereby offering an efficient method for the synthesis of new 2-aryl-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolones (3).

Simple conditions for the use of ferroin indicator in cerimetric titrations of antimony(III) alone and in mixtures with arsenic(III)

The titration of antimony(III) with cerium(V) sulphate in the presence of ferroin indicator at room temperature is entirely satisfactory in media consisting of 50% ($\text{v}\text{v}$) acetic acid and 1–3 M hydrochloric acid. In the absence of acetic acid, ferroin reacts with the antimony(V) formed in the very early stages, to give a sparingly soluble red complex, which remains in suspension and resists oxidation by cerium(IV). This titration provides a rational method for sequential visual titrations of antimony(III) and arsenic(III). The composition of the ferroin-antimony(V) complex is discussed. Titrations of antimony(III) in 0.5–1 M sulphuric acid medium do not require acetic acid but need iodine monochloride catalyst.     

Exploratory chemistry of 3-aroylformamido-4-aryl-1,2,5-thiadiazoles

Apart from the previous report, the reaction of 3-(4-nitrobenzoylformamido)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole ( 2a ) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in chloroform at room temperature did not proceed, whereas at reflux temperature the same reaction gave 4-nitrobenzoic acid ( 5 ) (86%) and a minute amount of a mixture of 4-nitrobenzoylformamide ( 6 ) and 3-amino-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole ( 7a ). On the other hand the same reaction in a mixture of ethanol and chloroform (1:4) at room temperature gave 3-ethoxycarbamoyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole ( 8a ) (24%) as an isolable product. When 3-aroylformamido-4-aryl-1,2,5-thiadiazoles 2 in tetrahydrofuran were treated with various alkoxides in the corresponding alcohols at room temperature, 3-amino-4-aryl- 7 , 3-alkoxycarbamoyl-4-aryl- 8 , and 3-aryl-4-(aryl)(hydroxy)acetamido-1,2,5-thiadiazoles 9 were isolated. The ratios of which were dependent on the kind of bases and the solvent employed. Selected compounds 2 were allowed to react with phosphorus pentasulfide in the presence of pyridine at reflux to give 3-aryl-4-arylacetarnido-1,2,5-thiadiazoles 17 (55–64%), which were also produced by the reaction of 2 with either Lawesson's reagent or hydrogen sulfide gas in the presence of pyridine at reflux.     

Camps reaction for the synthesis of 3-RS-4-arylquinolin-2-ones

The replacement of the chlorine atom in 2-(chloroacetamido)benzophenones on treatment with RSH (R = Alk, Ar, Hetaryl) in the presence of MeONa is accompanied by intramolecular cyclization following the Camps reaction pattern to give 3-RS-4-arylquinolin-2-ones. Cleavage of 4-aryl-3-(benzoxazol-2-ylthio)quinolin-2-ones by morpholine has resulted in the corresponding 4-aryl-3-mercaptoquinolin-2-ones.     

在H3PO4存在下2,3-二甲基-2-丁烯与乙酐的酰化反应

在H3PO4存在下进行了2，3－二甲基－2－丁烯与乙酐的酰化反应，结果表明，H3PO4是室温下催化2，3－二甲基－2－丁烯与乙酐酰化反应的有效催化剂，在H3PO4存在下，酰化产物的收率主要取决于：（a)H3PO4的用量，（b)乙酐的用量；（c)反应温度和（d)反应时间，在适宜反应条件下，所得3，3，4－三甲基－4－戊烯－2－酮（TMP）约为99％，另外还发现，反应体系中加入少量乙酸，不会明显减少酰化产物的收率，乙酐的纯度，反应物的加入顺序对该反应几乎没有任何影响，在有和没有溶剂CH2Cl2的条件下所得酰化产物的收率是可比的。     

Sydnone Compounds. XX. The Synthesis and the Schmidt Reaction of 4-Formyl-3-Arylsydnone

A convenient method to prepare 4-formyl-3-arylsydone (I) from 3-arylsydnone by the Vilsmeier reaction in moderate yields (30%-76%) was carefully investigated. According to the Schmidt reaction, I reacts with sodium azide in concentrated sulfuric acid to produce 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide (II). But 3-arylsydnone-4-carhonitrile (III) is obtained, if dilute sulfuric acid was used instead. When III treates with concentrated sulfuric acid, II is obtained in good yield. The all possible reaction mechanisms are suggested.
