Reaction of 2,5‐dimethylpyrroles with quinones. Synthesis of new pyrrolylquinones

The reaction of 1,4‐naphthoquinone ( 1 ) with 2,5‐dimethylpyrroles ( 7a‐7d ) gives only 3‐(1,4‐naphtho‐quinonyl)‐2,5‐dimethylpyrroles. Extending the reaction to other quinones: 5‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone ( 2 ), 1,2‐naphthoquinone ( 3 ), quinoline‐5,8‐dione ( 4 ) and quinoxaline‐5,8‐dione ( 5 ), of which nothing was known, allows the synthesis of new pyrrolylquinones.     

Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrroles by Reaction of 3,4‐Diacetylhexane‐2,5‐dione with Primary Amines in Water

3,4‐Diacetylhexane‐2,5‐dione (tetra‐acetylethane) undergoes a complex reaction with primary amines in boiling water to produce N‐alkyl‐3‐acetyl‐2,5‐dimethylpyrroles, together with small quantities of N‐alkyl‐3,4‐diacetyl‐2,5‐dimethylpyrroles and 2,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl‐vinyl‐acetamides. When the reaction was carried out in methanol at room temperature, the yields of the latter products increased.

Polymerization behavior of 2,5‐bis(dicyanomethylene)‐ 2,5‐dihydrofuran

2,5‐Bis(dicyanomethylene)‐2,5‐dihydrofuran (TCNF) is not homopolymerizable with any initiators, but copolymerizable with styrene (St) in an alternating fashion. Reactivity of TCNF was compared with that of 2,5‐bis(dicyanomethylene)‐2,5‐dihydrothiophene (TCNT) on the basis of the terpolymerization of the TCNT‐TCNF‐St system and the rates of addition reactions of AIBN with TCNT and with TCNF. TCNF was found to be lower in reactivity than TCNT. The relative reactivity was explained with the energy difference between quinonoid structure and benzenoid one. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

One‐pot Regioselective Synthesis of Novel 1‐N‐Methyl‐spiro[2,3′]oxindole‐spiro[3,3″]‐1″‐N‐arylpyrrolidine‐2″,5″‐dione‐4‐arylpyrrolidines through Multicomponent 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction of Azomethine Ylide

An atom economic and facile synthesis of novel dispiro–oxindole–pyrrolidines has been achieved via a three‐component tandem cycloaddition of azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and sarcosine by decarboxylative condensation with N‐aryl‐3‐benzylidene‐pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione derivatives as dipolarophiles. The salient features of synthetic procedure are characterized by the mild reaction conditions, high yields, high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, one‐pot procedure, and operational simplicity. This regioselectivity was assumed to be under the influence of π–π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of azomethine ylide and N‐aryl‐3‐benzylidene‐pyrrolidine‐2,5‐diones that further control the exo–endo selectivity of the reaction 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition. The regiochemistry and structures of the cycloadducts were determined with spectroscopic data.

Synthetic and spectral studies of novel spiro {bicyclo[3,3,0]octene‐8,3′(2′H)‐indol}‐2′‐ones obtained from indol‐2,3‐diones

The present article reports our approach toward the synthesis of spiro compounds via indol‐2,3‐diones. Thus, reaction of indol‐2,3‐dione derivatives with a secondary cyclic amino acid, namely, (R)‐(−)‐thiazolidine‐4‐carboxylic acid, affords a thiazolo‐oxazolidinone as the main product. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of a dipolarophile, 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition to the intermediate azomethine ylide leads to a novel spiro compound. The products have been characterized on the basis of spectral studies, and the geometry of the intermediate iminium compound has been optimized by use of the semiempirical molecular orbital method. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Facile Synthesis of 3‐Amino‐2,5‐dihydropyridazines and 4‐Deazatoxoflavin Analogues via [3 + 3] Atom Combination: Approaches to Pyridazine Incorporating Pyrazole Moiety

Arylhydrazones are prepared and reacted with pyrazolylmethylene malononitrile derivatives yielding 2,5‐dihydropyridazines substituted at C‐5 by pyrazole derivatives. Utilizing azaenamine containing a cyano group at the ortho position enabled the formation of the condensed pyridazino[1,6‐a ]quinazoline derivatives. A subsequent acetylation of the synthesized pyridazines led to the formation of pyrimido[4,5‐c ]pyridazine compounds which can be considered as 4‐deazatoxoflavin derivatives. All the new compounds were full‐characterized by the different spectral tools and the unambiguous structural elucidation of 2,5‐dihydropyridazines was done using 2D‐HMBC spectroscopy     

Corrosion inhibition and performance evaluation on 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), this paper evaluated the inhibition effect of four 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole and its derivatives named 2,5‐diphenly‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (DPTD), 2,5‐di(2‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (2‐DHPTD), 2,5‐di(3‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (3‐DHPTD), and 2,5‐di(4‐hydroxyphenly)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (4‐DHPTD) on silver strip corrosion in 50 mg/l sulfur–ethanol solution under room temperature. The experiments indicated that the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations, and the increasing order was (4‐DHPDT) > (3‐DHPDT) > (2‐DHPDT) > (DPDT). Quantum chemical calculation was applied to correlate inhibition performances with their electronic structural parameters of thiadiazole derivatives. Molecular dynamics simulations (DFT) were used to optimize the equilibrium configurations of the inhibitor molecules on the silver surface and to investigate the molecular structure effect on the corrosion inhibition efficiency. The efficiency order of the investigated inhibitors, which was obtained by experimental results, was verified by theoretical calculations. Contact angle (CA) analysis was also carried out, and finally confirmed the existence of the adsorbed film which prevailed in addition of thiadiazole derivatives. CA analysis indicated that the film of n‐DHPTD (n = 2,3,4) was hydrophilic, owing to two hydroxyl groups in their molecular. The adsorption of these compounds onto silver strip from 50 mg/l S‐ethanol system obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and it belongs to mixed‐type adsorption mainly dominated by chemisorption.

Synthesis of Precursors of 4‐Phosphino‐1H‐pyrrole‐3‐carbaldehyde Derivatives

In this work, possible approaches to the synthesis of 1,2,5‐substituted 4‐phosphoryl‐3‐formylpyrroles have been considered. As a result, two methods for the synthesis of 4‐(diphenylphosphoryl)‐1‐(4‐ethoxyphenyl)‐2,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrrole‐3‐carbal‐dehyde were proposed; the highest yields gives formylation of 3‐(diphenylphosphorothioyl)‐1‐(4‐ethoxyphenyl)‐2,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrrole. The formyl fragment was successfully converted into a Schiff base with phenethylamine, and the phosphoryl group has been reduced to phosphine with silicochloroform, which suggests a promising approach to the synthesis of chiral bidentate phosphine ligands. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
