Research on 1-azabicyclic compounds

1-(2-Furyl)-3-amino-4,4-dimethylpentane was used to obtain 3-tert-butyl-1,2-dihydropyrrolizine, the catalytic hydrogenation of which over Rh/Al₂O₃ at room temperature gives a mixture of cis- and trans-3,8-H-3-ter-butylpyrrolizidines with predominance of the cis isomer, whereas hydrogenation at 90–100 °C gives a mixture containing the trans isomer as the principal component. The three-dimensional structures of the isomers follow from data on the catalytic hydrogenation and isomerization and the IR, Raman, and PME spectra. A considerable percentage of the trans-fused form is characteristic for cis-3,8-H-3-tert-butylpyrrolizidine.     

Research on 1-aza two-ring systems

The physical properties and chromatographic behavior of homologs of pyrrolizidine were investigated with the aid of squalane, polyethylene glycol 20,000, and triethanolamine as liquid stationary phases. It was found that the properties of pairs of unstrained isomers are subject to the conformational rule. The retention times of the trans isomers of unstrained 1-methyl- and 3-alkylpyrrolizidines are shorter on all three stationary phases than the retention times of the cis isomers. The less significant (than in the case of other epimers) difference in the physical properties of cis- and trans-3,8-H-3-tert-butylpyrrolizidines and the peculiarity of their chromatographic behavior are explained by the distinct conformational heterogeneity of the ring fusion type of cis-3,8-H-3-tert-butylpyrrolizidine. With respect to all of the examined physical constants, strained cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine and its epimer do not comply with the conformational rule. In the liquid phase at ambient temperature and at the boiling point and in solutions in squalane, polyethylene glycol 20,000, and triethanolamine at –100°C, cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine contains significant amounts of the trans-fused form, which affect the entire set of properties. An empirical dependence of the properties of the pyrrolizidines on their properties can be used in the conformational assignment of analogous compounds.See [1] for communication 18.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 58–64, January, 1979.     

Research on 1-azabicyclic systems

Epimeric 3-methylpyrrolizidines were separated preparatively. Competitive quaternization of the mixture of isomers with n-propyl iodide and catalytic isomerization were used to obtain trans-3, 8-H-3-methylpyrrolizidine. cis-3,8-H-3-Methylpyrrolizidine was isolated from the mixture by quaternization with benzyl chloride and subsequent hydrogenolysis of the resulting quaternary salt. The pK_a values of trans- and cis-3,8-H-3-methylpyrrolizidines, pyrrolizidine, and indolizidine were measured. It is shown that in a series of saturated amines with a tertiary nitrogen atom pyrrolizidine and 3-methylpyrrolizidines are among the strongest bases.See [1] for communication XII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1060–1064, August, 1976.     

Investigation of 1-azabicycles

The composition of mixtures of epimeric 3-methylpyrrolizidines obtained by four methods was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The data presented make it possible to select a method for the preparation of a mixture of isomers of 3-methylpyrrolizidine with predominance of trans- or cis-3,8-H-3-methylpyrrolizidine.See [1] for communication IX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 329–331, March, 1973.     

Research on 1-AZA two-ring systems. 21. Basicities,stereochemistry, and 1H and 13C NMR spectra of pyrrolizidine and its homologs in aqueous and aqueous acetonitrile solutions. Prediction of the pKa value of trans-fused pyrrolizidine

The basicities of pyrrolizidine and its homologs in aqueous and aqueous acetonitrile solutions at 25 ° C were determined. It is shown that among 3-alkylpyrrolizidines, the isomers with cis configurations have higher pK_a values than the isomers with trans configurations. On the basis of a comparative study of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra it was concluded that cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine in aqueous solutions exists chiefly in the trans-fused form, whereas conformationally heterogeneous pyrrolizidines with primarily cis-fused rings experience a shift of the equilibrium to favor an increase in the cis-fused conformations when a nonpolar solvent is replaced by a polar solvent. The basicity of the trans-fused conformation of pyrrolizidine is predicted on the basis of the data obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 39–46, January, 1982.     

1-azabicyclic compounds. 22. Stereochemistry and13C NMR spectra of salts of pyrrolizidine and its homologs with protonic acids

¹³C NMR spectra were obtained for pyrrolizidinium salts and their homologs and their signals were assigned. With the exception of highly strained cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine (VI), all the bases studied upon their direct mixing with CF₃CO₂H form salts only with cis-fused rings in the cation. Mixtures of salts with cis- and trans-fused pyrrolizidinium fragments are formed upon the reaction of cis-3,8-H-methy1- (III) and cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine (VI) under conditions close to those for kinetically-controlled amine protonation. The¹³C NHR spectra of the isomeric pyrrolizidinium salts obtained as a result of the absorption of base VI by sulfuric acid were used to evaluate the conformational equilibrium in the starting compound VI. The¹³C NMR chemical shifts of unsubstituted trans-fused pyrrolizidinium salts were predicted.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1638–1647, December, 1985     

Mechanisms of Methylenecyclobutane Hydrogenation over Supported Metal Catalysts Studied by Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization Technique

In this work the mechanism of methylenecyclobutane hydrogenation over titania-supported Rh, Pt and Pd catalysts was investigated using parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) technique. It was found that methylenecyclobutane hydrogenation leads to formation of a mixture of reaction products including cyclic (1-methylcyclobutene, methylcyclobutane), linear (1-pentene, cis-2-pentene, trans-2-pentene, pentane) and branched (isoprene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, isopentane) compounds. Generally, at lower temperatures (150–350 °C) the major reaction product was methylcyclobutane while higher temperature of 450 °C favors the formation of branched products isoprene, 2-methyl-1-butene and 2-methyl-2-butene. PHIP effects were detected for all reaction products except methylenecyclobutane isomers 1-methylcyclobutene and isoprene implying that the corresponding compounds can incorporate two atoms from the same parahydrogen molecule in a pairwise manner in the course of the reaction in particular positions. The mechanisms were proposed for the formation of these products based on PHIP results.

Stereochemical peculiarities of the catalytic reduction of sym-octahydrothioxanthylium salts

The three-dimensional structures of the products of catalytic hydrogenation of sym-octahydrothioxanthylium salts in the presence of palladium on carbon were studied by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It was shown that the reaction proceeds stereoselectively with the formation of cis-syn-cis isomers. The stereochemistry of the reduction products is in agreement with the previously proposed reaction mechanism.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1187–1190, September, 1987.     

Observations on the reduction of aryl nitro groups with palladium-sodium borohydride

The reduction of aryl nitro groups by the palladium-sodium borohydride system can be controlled in some instances to give products differing from those of catalytic hydrogenation. With six equivalents of borohydride added to the catalyst 2,2′-dinitrobiphenyl formed only 2,2′-diaminobiphenyl. With added sodium hydroxide and varying amounts of borohydride and catalyst, the reduction can be controlled to give benzo[c]cinnoline, benzo[c]cinnoline 5-oxide or benzo[c]cinnoline 5,6-dioxide. In a closed system, the reagents reduce both the nitro and olefin functional groups in 6-nitro-5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-dihydro-1,4-ethano-naphthalene. In an open flask flushed with argon, the reduction is confirmed to the nitro group. Reduction of 2-chloro and 4-chloronitrobenzene with palladium-borohydride gives substantial yields of the appropriate chloroanilines. In contrast, hydrogen and palladium give aniline as the major product from each of these. These results suggest that the addition of sodium borohydride to palladium on carbon produces a reductive entity differing from that of catalytic hydrogenation.

Alkene metatheses in transition metal coordination spheres: dimacrocyclizations that join trans positions of square-planar platinum complexes to give topologically novel diphosphine ligands

The alkene-containing phosphines PPh((CH2)(n)CH=CH2)2)2 are prepared from PPhH(2), n-BuLi, and the corresponding bromoalkenes (1:2:2), and combined with the platinum tetrahydrothiophene complex [Pt(mu-Cl)(C(6)F(5))(S(CH2CH2(-))2)]2 to give the square-planar adducts trans-(Cl)(C(6)F(5))Pt(PPh((CH2)(n)CH=CH2)2)2 (11, 93-73%; n=a, 2; b, 3; c, 4; d, 5; e, 6; f, 8). Ring-closing metatheses with Grubbs' catalyst (2) are studied. With, two isomers of trans-(Cl)(C6F5)[formula: see text](14)Ph)(15e) are isolated after hydrogenation. Both form via dimacrocyclization between the trans-phosphine ligands, but differ in the dispositions of the PPh rings (syn, 31%; anti, 7%). The alternative intraligand metathesis product trans-(Cl)(C6F5)[formula: see text](14)Ph)2 (16e) is independently prepared by (i) protecting 4e as a borane adduct, H(3)B.PPh((CH(2))(6)CH=CH2)2, (ii) cyclization with 2 and hydrogenation to give H(3)B[formula: see text] (14), (iii) deprotection and reaction with 12. The sample derived from 11e contains < or = 2% 16e; mass spectra suggest that the other products are dimers or oligomers. The structures of syn-15e, anti-15e and 16e are verified crystallographically, and the macrocycle conformations analyzed. As expected from the (CH(2))(n) segment length, 11a undergoes intraligand metathesis to give (Z,Z)-trans-(Cl)(C6F5)Pt[formula: see text]CH2)2)2 (86%), as confirmed by a crystal structure of the hydrogenation product. Although 11b does not yield tractable products, 11c gives syn-(E,E)-trans-(Cl)(C6F5[formula:see text](21%). This structure, and that of the hydrogenation product (syn-15c; 95%), are verified crystallographically. Analogous sequences with 11d,f give syn-15d (5 and 14% overall).     

Synthesis of diverse benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based compounds using 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene

This paper discusses the synthesis of benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based compounds from 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1), including benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-ones (5-11) and five novel benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based tricycles: 6-hydroxy-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracen-3-one (14), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta-[b]-naphthalene-7-one (15, 17, 21), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,2,3,8-tetraazacylopenta[b]-naphthalene-7-one (16, 20), 3,8-dihydro-1H-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta[b]-naphthalene-2,7-dione (18, 22), and 5,8-dihydro-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracene-3,6,7-trione (19). Finally, a chemical library based on 15 was synthesized in parallel solution-phase reactions.     

Formose Reactions. XXXII. Synthesis of Dl-2-C-Hydroxymethyl-3-Pentulose from Formaldehyde in N,N-Dimethylformamide-Water Mixed Solvent (II)

ABSTRACT

The carbon number of the main product and the total yield of products increased with an increase in the amount of triethylamine (TEA). Furthermore, the decrease of DL-2-C-hydroxymethyl-3-pentulose (2-H-3-P) was speeded up by increasing the TEA concentration and 2,4-bis(hydroxy-methyl)-3-pentulose (2,4-BH-3-P) increased smoothly along with the progress of the reaction. In the low formaldehyde (HCHO) concentration range (ca. 0.5 M), dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and DL-glycero-tetrulose were main products. 2-H-3-P and 2,4-BH-3-P increased with an increase in the formaldehyde concentration. Dihydroxyacetone, DL-glycero-tetrulose, 2-H-3-P and 2,4-BH-3-P were favorably obtained from a formose reaction by choosing a suitable [thiamine. HCl]/[HCHO] ratio. Under the reaction conditions reported in this paper, thiamine decomposed rapidly and lost its catalytic ability.     

Synthetic and spectroscopic studies on the structures of uniflorines A and B: structural revision to 1,2,6,7-tetrahydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine alkaloids

The diastereoselective synthesis of the C-2 epimer and the C-1, C-2 di-epimers of the putative structure of the alkaloid uniflorine A has been achieved. The synthesis of the latter di-epimers employed a novel pyrrolo[1,2-c]oxazin-1-one precursor to allow for the reversal of π-facial diastereoselectivity in an osmium(VIII)-catalyzed syn-dihydroxylation (DH) reaction. The NMR spectral data of these epimeric compounds and that of related isomers did not match that of the natural product. From a comparison of the NMR data of uniflorines A and B with that of casuarine and the known synthetic 1,2,6,7-tetrahydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine isomers we concluded unequivocally that uniflorine B is the known alkaloid casuarine. Although we cannot unequivocally prove the structure of uniflorine A, without access to the original material and data, the published data suggest that the natural product is also a 1,2,6,7-tetrahydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine with the same relative C-7-C-7a-C-1-C-2-C-3 stereochemistry as casuarine. We thus suggest that uniflorine A is 6-epi-casuarine.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of 8,12-Furanoeudesmanes from Santonin. Absolute Stereochemistry of Natural Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene and Tubipofurane

Ketobutenolide 3, easily obtained from santonin (1), has been transformed into two natural furanoeudesmanes 4 and 5, isolated from Commiphora molmol and Tubipora musica, respectively. trans- And cis-decalin systems were obtained by stereoselective reduction of the C(4)-C(5) double bond in 3 in the following way: hydrogenation of 3 over Pd/C followed by acidic treatment gave the cis isomer 10 as the major product; selective hydrogenation of the C(1)-C(2) double bond with the Wilkinson's catalyst followed by reduction with NaTeH yielded mainly the trans isomer 9. Compounds 9 and 10 were transformed into 4 and 5 in parallel sequences. Optical rotation and CD measurements of the synthetic products revealed that the stereochemistry of both natural products should be revised to their enantiomeric form.     

New 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives

The syntheses of six new 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones, three 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5,8-quinolinequinones, and 7-(2′,6′,10′-trimethylundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone are described as potential antimetabolites of coenzyme Q and as potential antimalarial agents. The six 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones were prepared by a six-step synthesis. 2-Methyl-6-methoxy-8-nitroquinoline was prepared from 2-nitro-4-methoxyaniline and crotonaldehyde by a Skraup reaction. Raney nickel reduction gave 2-methyl-6-metboxy-8-aminoquinoline, which upon diazotization followed by dithionite reduction yielded 2-methyl-6-methoxy-5,8-diaminoquinoline. Subsequent dichromate oxidation gave 2-methyl-6-methoxy-5,8-quinolinequinone, which yielded the corresponding 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinone in good yield when treated with the appropriate alkylamine. The telrahydro-5,8-quinolinequinones were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the appropriate 5,8-quinolinequinones at elevated H₂ pressure followed by air oxidation of the reduction product. 7-(2′,6′,10′-Trimethylundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone was synthesized by radical alkylation of 6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone by thermal decomposition of di-3,7,11-trimethyldodecanoyl peroxide, which was prepared by a multistep procedure from farnesol. Of the five new 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinoline-quinones tested against P. berghei in mice (blood schizonticidal test), only 2-methyl-6-cycloheptylamino-5,8-quinolinequinone was active (T-C = 6.1 at 320 mg./kg.). Both 7-(2′,6′,10′-trimelhytundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone and the tetrahydro derivatives were inactive in this same test system.

The configuration of 1a was determined by X-ray analysis.     

Structure and products of oxidative amination of 6-hydroxyquinoxaline

3-Morpholino-6-methoxy-5,8-quinoxalinequinone was synthesized by a method which excludes the formation of isomers, and was used for proving the structure of products of the oxidative amination of 6-hydroxyquinoxaline as 2,8-bis(dialkylamino)-5,6-quinoxalinequinones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, 1671–1672, December, 1985.
