The structures of the compounds were confirmed by the IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 793–797, June, 1982.     

Nitropyrazoles: XII. Transformations of the 4-Methyl Group in 1,4-Dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole and Cyclization of the Transformation Products

A preparative procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole by nitration of 1,4-dimethylpyrazole was developed. The reaction of 1,4-dimethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole with dimethoxymethyl- (dimethyl)amine (N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal) gave (E)-N,N-dimethyl-2-(1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol- 4-yl)ethenylamine. Acid hydrolysis of the latter afforded (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde, and the reaction with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid led to formation of 2-hydroxymino-2-(1-methyl- 3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde. The corresponding O-methyloxime and phenylhydrazone reacted with K₂CO₃ to give 6-methyl-4-nitropyrazolo[4,3-d]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde O-methyloxime and 1-methyl-3-nitro-4-(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyrazol-5-ol, respectively. Treatment of (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)-acetaldehyde with benzenediazonium chloride gave (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde phenylhydrazone which underwent intramolecular cyclization with replacement of the 5-nitro group by the action of K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile; in the reaction with K₂CO₃ in ethanol, the 5-nitro group was replaced by ethoxy.     

Phosphonioethylation of phenylhydrazine and hydroxylamine and selected properties of the resulting derivatives

The reactions of phenylhydrazine and hydroxylamine with (-X-ethyl)triphenylphosphonium salts (X = Ph, Ph₃P⁺Br^–) (1, 2) afforded the corresponding -N-ethyl-substituted triphenylphosphonium salts (3, 4). The reaction of triphenyl(2-phenylhydrazinoethyl)phosphonium bromide 3with an aqueous solution of NaOH in benzene afforded a statistical mixture of the nisand transisomers of 2-(diphenylphosphoryl)acetaldehyde phenylhydrazone. (2-Hydroxyaminoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide reacted with sodium methoxide to give O-phosphobetaine.     

Methyl γ-phenylacetoacetate in the synthesis of derivatives of α-aminoindol-2-yl-acetic acid

The cyclization of the di(phenylhydrazone) of methyl -phenyl-,-dioxobutyrate with hydrazines has given phenylhydrazones of methyl indol-2-ylglyoxylates, which have been reduced to methyl -aminoindol-2-ylacetates. Some reactions of these compounds have been studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1040–1042, August, 1973.

The reaction of 3-amino-3-(o-aminoanilino)-2-cyano-2-propenal phenylhydrazone (2) with orthoesters gave the title compound (3) , which was readily converted to 2-substituted benzimidazole (4) and 5-amino-4-cyano-1-phenylpyrazole (5) when heated in 1-butanol. The degradation mechanisms were proposed.     

Synthesis of 1,8- and 2,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-one derivatives by the reactions of 3-acetyltropolone and its methyl ethers with phenylhydrazine

3-Acetyltropolone ( 1 ) reacted with phenylhydrazine to give 3-acetyltropolone phenylhydrazone ( 3 ) and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-one ( 4 ). The former ( 3 ) cyclized to afford the latter ( 4 ). The reaction of 3-acetyl-2-methoxytropone ( 2a ) with phenylhydrazine gave 4 , 3-methyl-2-phenyl-2,8-dihydrocyclo-heptapyrazol-8-one ( 5 ), and 3-methyl-2-phenyl-2,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-one phenylhydrazone ( 6 ). The compound ( 5 ) reacted with phenylhydrazine to afford 6 . The reaction of 7-acetyl-2-methoxytropone ( 2b ) with phenylhydrazone gave 7-acetyl-2-methoxytropone phenylhydrazone ( 7 ), 7-acetyl-2-(N′-phenylhydrazino)-tropone phenylhydrazone ( 8 ), 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-one phenylhydrazone ( 9 ), and 6 . The compound ( 7 ) was heated to afford 4 and reacted with phenylhydrazine to afford 8 and 9 . The compound ( 8 ) was also refluxed to give 9 .     

Solid-phase hydrohalogenation of 2-methyl-2-butene

Complex formation between 2-methyl-2-butene and hydrogen halides (HX, X=Cl, Br) and the hydrohalogenation reaction was studied in the solid phase in the range of 80–150°K by IR spectroscopy. It was shown that 2-methyl-2-butene forms 11 and 12 complexes with HX. The hydrohalogenation reaction is realized by rearrangement of the 12 complex into a complex of the hydrohalogenation product with HX. The kinetics of the transformation depend on the ratio of the reagents. With an excess of the olefin the reaction is described by a kinetic equation of first order with respect to the complex of the initial reagents up to 60–80% conversion; with an excess of HX it is described by an equation of polychronous kinetics. The effective activation energy of the solid-phase halogenation of 2-methyl-2-butene is not greater than 20 kJ/mole. A molecular mechanism of addition to olefins in the solid phase is examined.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 23, No. 1, pp. 34–40, January–February, 1987.     

3,6-Dialkyl-1-phenyl-6-phenylazo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridazine, (4+2)-Cycloadditionsprodukte aus 2-Phenylazo-1-alkenen, 2. Teil: Reaktionen

Catalytic hydrogenation of 3.6-dialkyl-1-phenyl-6-phenylazo-1.4.5.6-tetrahydropyridazines2 a-e gives crystalline bisphenylhydrazones of 1.4-diketones4 a-e; in solution,4 exists as a mixture of geometrical isomers due to the two phenylhydrazone functions. Reaction of2 a-f with H₂NOH yields the dioximes of 1.4-diketones5 a-f. On acid hydrolysis of2, the 6-phenylazo substituent undergoes some reactions and yields products typical of the intermediate “zwitterionic” phenyldiazene. Thus, the tetrahydropyridazine part of2 d yields 1-anilino-2.5-diisopropyl-pyrrole (9), that of2 e gives 2.2.7.7-tetramethyl-3.6-octanedione monophenylhydrazone (10) which undergoes ready oxidation to 3.6-di-t-butyl-6-phenylazo-1.2-dioxan-3-ol (12).     

Solubility of Thiophene-, Furan- and Pyrrole-2-Carboxaldehyde Phenylhydrazone Derivatives in 2.82 mol⋅L−1 Aqueous DMSO at 298.15 K, Inhibition of Lymphoproliferation and Tubulin Polymerization: A Study Based on the Scaled Particle Theory

In this work, the solubilities of nine phenylhydrazone derivatives in water and in 2.82 mol?L^?1 aqueous DMSO at 298.15 K, expressed on the molar fraction scale, are reported. The estimated value of the standard Gibbs energy for transferring the solute from water to 2.82 mol?L^?1 DMSO, $\Delta G^{0}_{\mathrm{W}\rightarrow \mathrm{mix}}$ , for each system, indicates that it is a spontaneous process. Some of the phenylhydrazone derivatives inhibited the induction of T lymphocyte proliferation by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) but only DPCT and NPCF efficiently inhibited Guinea pig brain tubulin polymerization. Scaled Particle Theory (SPT) was used to interpretate solubility and biological activity results. Based on the results we suggested that the difference in the work of cavity creation ΔΔG _c, associated with the transfer of the phenylhydrazone derivatives from water to 2.82 mol?L^?1 aqueous DMSO, is the dominant factor in the magnitude of $\Delta G^{0}_{\mathrm{W}\rightarrow \mathrm{mix}}$ . The later quantity was considered to be an indirect measurement of the hydrophobic character of these derivatives, and it can be used to interpret the biological results.     

Reactions of 1-Trichloromethyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene with 2-Amino- and 2-Amino-5-bromopyridines

A new type of reaction has been discovered for trichloromethylarenes with pyridines. The reaction of 1-trichloromethyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene with 2-amino- and 2-amino-5-bromopyridines does not stop with formation of the pyridinium salt, but rather leads to unique amidines, namely, 1-[-(2-pyridylimino)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl]-2-pyridonimine and its 5-bromo derivative.     

Bisindoles. 19. Synthesis of 2,5′-bis-1H-indole

The cyclization of 5-acetyl-2-ethoxycarbonylindole phenylhydrazone gave 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2,5-bis-1H-indole, the saponification of which and subsequent decarboxylation of the resulting acid led to the formation of 2,5-bis-1H-indole — a new unsymmetrical bisindole system.See [1] for Communication 18.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 349–351, March, 1984.     

Synthesis of α, β-unsaturated diketones and derivatives of Δ2-pyrazoline derived from 2, 5-diacetylthiophene

The Claisen reaction of 2, 5-diacetylthiophene with various aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes was utilized to prepare 15 new unsaturated diketones(diarylidene-2, 5-diacetylthiophenes). Most of them were characterized as their bis-2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazones, for which _max values in chloroform solution are given. The reaction of diarylidene-2, 5-diacetylthiophenes with phenylhydrazine. hydrochloride has given five 2, 5-bis(1-phenyl-5-R-²-pyrazoline-3-yl) thiophene showing strong luminescence. A method was developed for the synthesis of 2, 5-diacetylthiophene by the oxidation of 5-ethyl-2-acetothienone.     

Thermodynamics of Solution, Interaction with Calf Thymus DNA and Anticancer Activity of?Phenylhydrazone Derivatives

The solubilities in water (W) and in 3 mol?L^?1 aqueous acetonitrile at 298.15 K of thiophene-2-, furan-2- and pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone along with their nitro and 2,4-dinitro derivatives, referred to as PCT, PCF, PCP, NPCT, NPCF, NPCP, DPCT, DPCF and DPCP, respectively, are reported. The standard Gibbs energy of transfer from W to solvent mixtures ( $\Delta G^{\mathrm{transf}}_{\mathrm{W-mix}}$ ) was estimated for each solute. The results indicate that the transfer process for all systems is a spontaneous process. Calculations under the scaled-particle theory suggest that the work of cavity creation (????G _c), which is associated with the transfer of the phenylhydrazone from W to mix, dominates the magnitude of $\mathrm {\Delta} G^{\mathrm{transf}}_{\mathrm{W-mix}}$ . UV spectroscopic measurements suggest that these compounds bind calf thymus(CT)-DNA via intercalation mode in a buffer?C3 mol?L^?1 acetonitrile solution. The binding constant (K _b) depends on the nitro-substitution on the phenyl moiety and the electronegativity of the heteroatom in the heterocyclic ring. The corresponding Gibbs energy of binding ( $\Delta G_{\mathrm{DNA-B}}^{0}$ ) of phenylhydrazone derivatives to CT-DNA shows a marked dependence with ????G _c. The anticancer activity on human breast cancer cell lines MDA-231, MDA-435 and HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line was evaluated for the compounds NPCT, NPCF, DPCT and PCT.     

Studies on the interaction of peroxy radicals with transition metals complexes: I. Effect of 2-cyano-2-propyl and 2-cyano-2-propyl peroxy radicals on cobaloximes

Reactions of CH₃Co(DH)₂py (1) and [Co(DH)₂py]₂ (2) with (CH₃)₂(CN)C (r) and (CH₃)₂(CN)COO (rO₂) radicals were investigated. At 60°C, reaction or r with (1) results in non-homogeneous ligand decomposition, whereas for 2, complex (CH₃)₂CNCCo(DH)₂py (6) and a precipitate are formed. Ligand decomposition also took place at 60°C when the reaction of rO₂ radicals with 1 and 2 was investigated. However, the same reaction with rO₂ radicals at −10°C, yielded two complexes, CH₃OOCo(DH)₂py (3) and Co(DH)₂py (4) with 1, and complex 6 for the reaction of rO₂ with 2.     

Lewis acid-mediated reactions of 1-cyclopropyl-2-arylethanone derivatives with diethyl 2-oxomalonate and ethyl 2-oxoacetate

TMSOTf-mediated reactions of 2-aryl-1-(1-phenylcyclopropyl)ethanones 1 with diethyl 2-oxomalonate 2 afford a novel method for the synthesis of spiro-γ-lactone derivatives 3 in good to excellent yields via a sequential reaction involving a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of the cyclopropane by H₂O, an aldol-type reaction and a cyclic transesterification mediated by Lewis acid. On the other hand, we found that TMSOTf-mediated reactions of 1-cyclopropyl-2-arylethanones 1 with ethyl 2-oxoacetate 4 could also provide the corresponding spiro-γ-lactone derivatives 5 in moderate yields along with another spiro-γ-lactone derivatives 6 derived from the reaction of 1 with two molecules of ethyl 2-oxoacetate. The plausible reaction mechanisms have also been provided on the basis of control experiments.     

Diastereo- and regioselective Diels-Alder reactions of 2-phosphaindolizines

1,3-Bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-phosphaindolizines undergo Diels-Alder reactions at the CP- functionality with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and with isoprene in the presence of sulfur with complete diastereoselectivity. The reaction with isoprene occurs with 100% regioselectivity as well. 3-Ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-2-phosphaindolizine, however, fails to undergo Diels-Alder reaction under these conditions. Difference in the dienophilic reactivities of mono- and bis(alkoxycarbonyl) substituted 2-phosphaindolizines and the observed regioselectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction has been rationalized on the basis of DFT calculations. The relative stabilities of the transition structures have been explained on the basis of the NBO analysis.     

Reactions of 1-vinylbenzimidazole-2-thione with alcohols and phenol

1-(-Alkoxyethyl)- and 1-(-phenoxyethyl)benzimidazole-2-thiones were obtained in the reaction of 1-vinylbenzimidazole-2-thione with alcohols and phenol in the presence of gaseous hydrogen chloride. It was established that partial hydrolysis of the 1-(-alkoxyethyl)benzimidazole-2-thiones to benzimidazole-2-thione with subsequent alkylation with excess alcohol at the exocyclic sulfur atom occurs under the conditions of the investigated reaction. A convenient method for the alkylation of thiones was proposed, and a number of 2-alkylthiobenzimidazoles were synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 805–807, June, 1984.     

Hydrohalogenation of 1- and 2-vinylindazoles

The electronic absorption spectra of 1-vinyl- and 2-vinylindazoles and their protonated forms were analyzed. The spectra were subjected to quantum-chemical calculation within the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) -electron approximation, and the thermodynamic parameters of the reaction of indazoles with phenol (K_as and H) were calculated. It is shown that 1-vinylindazole adds hydrogen halides to the nitrogen atom or the double bond of the vinyl group, depending on the reaction temperature. The formation of hydrohalides is characteristic for 2-vinylindazole.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 952–956, July, 1982.

The reaction of 2-chloroethyl isothiocyante with N-phenylethyleneimine in the presence of triethylamine gives 2-(2-chloroethyl)imino-3-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine. A mixture (12) of 2-(2-chloroethyl)imino-3-phenyl-l,3-thiazolidine and 7-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo-[2,1-b]thiazolinium chloride is obtained in the absence of a catalyst. The reaction of 2-chloroethyl isothiocyanate with ethylene sulfide in the presence of triethylamine gives 2,3,5,6-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-b]thiazolinium chloride, while the reaction with tetraethyl-ammonium bromide gives 2-ethyleneiminium-l,3-dithiolane chloride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1651–1653, December, 1971.
