Reaction of 2-aryl(methyl)-4-cyano-5-hydrazino-1,3-oxazoles with aryl Isothiocyanates

Accessible 2-aryl(methyl)-4-cyano-5-hydrazino-1,3-oxazoles add to aryl isothiocyanates. The resulting products undergo recyclization to form new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing an acylamino group on C² and an (acylamino)(cyano)methyl group on C⁵. The structure of the new compounds was proved by their IR and ¹H NMR spectra, as well as by conversion in other 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.     

DBU-catalyzed condensation of acyldiazomethanes to aldehydes in water and a new approach to ethyl β-hydroxy α-arylacrylates

DBU-catalyzed condensation of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) with aldehydes in pure water afforded corresponding β-hydroxy α-diazo carbonyl compounds. The β-hydroxy group of the products was further converted into β-siloxy group. The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of the β-aryl β-siloxy α-diazo carbonyl compounds gave 1,2-aryl shift products predominantly. The three-step transformation constitutes an efficient synthesis of ethyl β-hydroxy α-arylacrylates.

N-Substituted 3-methoxycarbonyl-4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidones react with 2-aryl(heteryl)-1-nitroethenes as typical CH-acids to give nucleophilic addition products. The structure of compounds obtained was studied by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy using HOESY experiment.     

Interactions of aroyl-and heteroaroyltrifluoroacetones with thiobenzoylhydrazine

The interaction of aroyl(heteroaroyl)trifluoroacetones with thiobenzoylhydrazine may occur at both carbonyl groups. Reaction at the trifluoroacetyl group is facilitated by terminal substituents in the 1,3-dicarbonyl part, which leads can effectively conjugate with the adjacent carbonyl group. The products of condensation at the trifluoroacetyl group are 2-[2-aryl(heteroaroyl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-phenyl-2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, while condensation at the aroyl(heteroaroyl)group gave 3-aryl(heteroaryl)-5-hydroxy-1-thiobenzoyl-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles, which are not prone to tautomeric transformations in solution.

Alkyl-oxygen heterolysis in 4-aryl and 4-heteroaryl-4-piperidinols and esters

Acetoxy and propionoxy esters of 1-phenethyl-4-(2′-furyl)-4-piperidinol hydrochlorides, upon treatment with one mole excess of hydrogen chloride in an alkanol, were converted into corresponding 4-alkoxy ethers and elimination products. These results are interpreted in terms of reactions of carbonium ions, produced from the esters by alkyl-oxygen heterolysis. Factors affecting carbonium ion generation and fate have been studied and include the electronic character of the 4-aryl substituent, nature and size of the nucleophile, degree of acidity and role of the piperidine nitrogen atom.

Photochemical and thermal rearrangements of 2-arylamino-1-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-9,10-anthraquinones

Photochemical transformations of 2-arylamino-1-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-9,10-anthraquinones involve migration of thetert-butylphenyl group either to theperi-located carbonyl oxygen to give 2-arylamino-9-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-1,10-anthraquinones or to the nitrogen atom to give 2-aryl(4-tert-butylphenyl)amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinones (typical products of the Smiles rearrangement).

4- and 5-trifluoromethylimidazoles. Novel cyclization of trifluoroacetylated aldehyde dimethylhydrazones

Thermally induced cyclization reaction of trifluoroacetylated arylaldehyde dimethylhydrazones 1 in refluxing toluene afforded 1-methyl -4 -aryl -5 -trifluoromethylimidazoles 2 in good yields. In contrast thermal cyclization of 1 in the presence of silica gel gave regioisomeric 1-methyl -4 -trifluoromethyl -5 -aryl-imidazoles 5 as major products. These reactions could be extended to the syntheses of related several 1,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles.

[reaction: see text] The regioselective palladium(0)-catalyzed arylation of 3-furoate and 3-thiophenecarboxylate esters with aryl bromides is described. Conditions were developed that allow for the selective synthesis of either 2-aryl or 5-aryl products.     

Radical cation formation and crystal structure determination of 4′-dimethylamino-10-phenylpyrido[3,2-b]benzothiazine

The crystal structure of title compound, 4 , shows that the 10-aryl group is parallel to the plane bisecting the pyridobenzothiazine ring. This structure is in contrast to that normally found for phenothiazines substituted with electron-withdrawing substituents on the 10-phenyl ring. In those compounds, the 10-aryl group is perpendicular to the plane bisecting the phenothiazine ring. The esr spectrum of the cation radical of 4 shows that the radical is located on the hetero ring system which is opposite to that of the cation radical of 4′-dimethylamino-10-phenylphenothiazine in which the radical is located on the 10-aryl ring.

Palladium-catalyzed anilide ortho-arylation and subsequent one-pot cyclization to phenanthridines

The palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of anilides possessing several N-acyl substituents has been demonstrated. Removal of the acyl group by base hydrolysis allows a short and efficient synthesis of 2-aryl or 2,6-diarylanilines. The method is functional group tolerant and allows the presence of chloride and bromide substituents on both the anilide and aryl iodide coupling components. The arylation products can be converted to phenanthridines by the reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride.

This approach can be seen as a better alternative of the metal-catalyzed protocols used for the synthesis of this class of compounds. The formation of desired compound has also been confirmed by X-ray analysis.
