PEG-600-mediated,green and efficient,tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4- ones

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated, green and efficient, tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolinones are being reported. Condensation of anthranilamide (1) with acetic anhydride in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1 hr gave 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one (2). Treatment of 2 with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 2–3 hr, gave 2-styrylquinazolinone-4-ones (3) in excellent yields. Treatment of 3 (a–d) either with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), diethyl sulfate (DES), or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in N-substituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4-ones 5 (a–l). In an alternative approach, reaction of 4 (a–c) with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr, without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in 5 (a–l). 4 (a–c) were prepared by treatment of 2 with either DMS, DES, or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually, in the presence of PEG-600 as reaction medium, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base. Both the sequence of reactions, 1 2 3 5 or 1 2 4 5 could be carried out in tandem in an efficient manner in PEG-600 without the isolation of any intermediates. The structures of all the new compounds synthesized in this work have been established on the basis of their spectroscopic data and analytical data.

Reaction of bromine with 4,5-dimethyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid: a green chemistry puzzle for organic chemistry students

Abstract

Bromination of an alkene is a typical addition reaction covered in an introductory organic chemistry course and laboratory. In this undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory exercise, students studied the bromination of a 4,5-dimethyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid. The reaction has an unexpected outcome as bromination yields the aromatic product, 4,5-dimethylphthalic acid. Green chemistry modification involves application of a “bromide/peroxide reaction” with NaBr/H₂O₂ in an acidic medium as an in situ source of bromine. The experiment was carried out as a two-day exercise and the students integrated molecular modeling, interpretation of mass spectra, knowledge of stability of organic compounds, and knowledge of the reaction mechanisms of addition and elimination to explain the experimental outcome.
