Condensation reactions of vinyl and ethyl derivatives of 2-amino-and 2-formylimidazoles

New Schiff bases of 1-vinyl- and 1-ethyl-substituted imidazoles and benzimidazoles were synthesized. The condensation reactions of 2-amino- and 2-formylimidazoles with 2-aminobenzimidazoles are virtually independent of the nature of the substituent (CH=CH₂ or Et) at position 1 of the heterocycle. The structures of the azomethines synthesized were established by¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 971–974, May, 1999.

Catalytic silylotropy inN-trimethylsilylpyrazole derivatives

Silylotropy in 4-substitutedN-trimethylsilypyrazoles is studied by dynamic¹H,¹³C, and²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic 1,2-migration of a trimethylsilyl group in 4-halo-N-trimethylsilylpyrazoles was detected. Silylotropy inN-trimethylsilylpyrazoles in the presence of halogens of trimethylhalosilanes is believed to proceed through formation ofN,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrazolium salts, the barrier of silylotropy in pyrazoles being markedly reduced.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Electrosynthesis and studies of adducts of 2-amino-1-methylbenzimidazole with metal chelates based on 2-tosylamino-N-salicylideneaniline

For the first time the adducts of 2-amino-I-methylbenzimidazole (L) with cobalt, copper, and zinc chelates based on 2-tosylamino-N-salicylideneaniline were electrochemically synthesized, and the properties and structures of these adducts were studied. According to the IR and₁H NMR spectral data on the adducts obtained and X-ray structural analysis of the copper complex, the adducts of composition mL · ML' · nH₂O (m = 1 or 2; n = 0, 1, or 2) contain the L moiety bonded to the metal atom through the pyridine-type N atom of the imidazole ring.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and isomerism of hydrazones of 2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio)acetohydrazide

New hydrazones of 2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio)acetohydrazide have been obtained and the percentages of anti/syn - conformers were determined. Based on the analyses of ¹H NMR spectra, it was concluded that for hydrazones obtained from the 2- hydroxybenzaldehydes and 2’-hydroxycetophenones the ratio between the anti-and syn-conformers depends on the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) between the nitrogen atom of the imino group and the proton of the 2-hydroxy group. It was shown that increase in IMHB strength results in stabilization of the anti-conformer in solution.

Geminal systems. 50. Synthesis and alcoholysis of N-acyloxy-N-alkoxy derivatives of ureas,carbamates, and benzamides

Procedures were developed for the synthesis of N-acyloxy-N-alkoxy derivatives of ureas, carbamates, and benzamides by the reactions of the corresponding N-alkoxy-N-chloro derivatives with sodium carboxylates in MeCN. N-Chloro-N-ethoxy-p-toluenesulfonamide was inert in this reaction. Alcoholysis of N-acyloxy-N-alkoxy derivatives of ureas, carbamates, and tert-alkylamines afforded the corresponding N,N-dialkoxy derivatives, whereas alcoholysis of N-acetoxy-N-ethoxybenzamide gave rise to alkyl benzoates.

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of some new metal carbonyl derivatives of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol

Interaction of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) with [Mo(CO)₆] in air resulted in formation of the tricarbonyl oxo-complex [Mo(O)(CO)₃(PAN)], 1. The dicarbonyl complex [Ru(CO)₂(PAN)], 3, was obtained from the reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with PAN. In presence of triphenyl phosphine (PPh₃), the reaction of PAN with either Mo(CO)₆ or Ru₃(CO)₁₂ gave [Mo(CO)₃(PAN)(PPh₃)], 2, and [Ru(CO)₂(PAN)(PPh₃)], 4. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The thermal properties of the complexes were also investigated by thermogravimetry.     

Synthesis and NMR elucidation of novel amino acid cavitand derivatives

The synthesis of seven novel protected amino acid cavitands is reported. All have four pendant n-undecyl chains and ‘headgroups’ connected by a two-carbon spacer at four positions on the aromatic rings. The amino acids employed are glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, leucine, proline, tryptophan, serine, glutamine and lysine. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques, which verified that all tetra-substituted cavitands have symmetrical C_4v conformation. This is the first example of a complete study for amino acid cavitand derivatives.     

Synthesis and structures of pyridoannelated 1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxides

Treatment of 2- and 4-amino-3-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)pyridines with nitrating agents (N₂O₅or NO₂BF₄) afforded the first representatives of pyridoannelated 1,2,3,4-tetrazine di-N-oxides, viz., pyrido[2,3-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 1,3-dioxide (9), 7-nitropyrido[2,3-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 1,3-dioxide (10), and pyrido[3,4-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 2,4-dioxide (11). These compounds were studied by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. The 1:1 complex of compound 10 with benzene was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Tricarbonylchromium complexes with phenalene. Synthesis, structure, and thermal rearrangements

The reaction of phenalene with Cr(CO)₃Py₃/BF₃·OEt₂ afforded a mixture of two isomeric complexes, tricarbonyl(6a,7-9,9a,9b-·⁶-phenalene)chromium (1) and tricarbonyl(3a,6a,9b,4-6-·⁶-phenalene)chromium (2). Deprotonation of the mixture of compounds1 and2 followed by treatment with MeI, BuⁿI, or D₂O gave complexesexo-1-R-1 (3–5: R=Me (3), Buⁿ (4), or D (5)). The molecular geometry of complex3 was established by X-ray structural analysis. Heating of complex5 in toluene or C₆F₆ at 90–110 °C resulted in redistribution of deuterium among positionsexo-1,endo-1, and 3 in the resulting complexes of types1 and2 via sigmatropic shifts of the H _exo and H _endo atoms in the nonaromatic ring as well asvia inter-ring migrations of the tricarbonylchromium group. In the case of3, the methyl label is distributed among positionsexo-1 and3 to form isomeric complexes with similar structures (exo-1-Me-2 (6), 3-Me-2 (7), and 3-Me-1 (8), respectively)via processes analogous to those observed in the case of isomerization of compound5 (except for migration of the H _exo atom). The mechanisms of these rearrangements are discussed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1863–1880, October, 1997.     

Determination of the structure of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives using two-dimensional heteronuclear chemical-shift correlated NMR techniques

¹H and¹³C NMR spectra of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives have been studied. The location of the substituent in the 1,2,3-triazole ring was determined by the 2D COLOC method. It was established that the H(3) and H(5) protons in the coumarin moiety experience anisotropic influence of the phenyl subsituent at the C(5) atom in the triazole ring.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and spectroscopic study of hexadecaalkyl-substituted rare-earth diphthalocyanines

New hexadecaalkyl-substituted diphthalocyanine complexes of lanthanides ^RPc₂Ln (R = Et, or Bu; Ln = Lu, Dy, or Eu) were synthesized by three methods: in solution in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, in a melt of a mixture of the reagents, and under microwave irradiation. The first of the above-mentioned procedures has an advantage for the preparation of Dy and Eu diphthalocyanines, whereas the melt synthesis is a method of choice for the preparation of Lu complexes. The reaction time decreases in going from the first to the third method. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and electronic absorption spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of bridged isoflavone derivatives

Summary 7-Chloroalkoxyisoflavones (10–26) have been prepared by chemoselective-in the case of 5,7-dihydroxyisoflavones also regioselective-alkylation of hydroxyisoflavones (3–9) with -bromo--chloroalkanes. Compounds10–26 were allowed to react either with 2,4-dihydroxy-3-n-propylacetophenone (1) or with 2-ethoxycarbonyl-7-hydroxy-8-n-propylchromone (2) to afford bridged isoflavone derivatives27–51 with methylene spacers of various length.

Reaction of N-trimethylsilyl derivatives of amides and lactams with chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylstannane: Crystal and molecular structure of 1-(chlorodimethylstannylmethyl)-2-piperidone

A general scheme of reactions between chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylstannane and N-trimethylsilylamides and -lactams was established by NMR and IR techniques. The reactions proceed via transmetallation followed by transformation of the N-stannylated intermediate (1) into (N-Sn)-coordinated O-stannylmethyl (2) and (O-Sn)-coordinated N-stannylmethyl (3) derivatives. In the cases of 2-piperidone and 2-hexahydroazepinone these products were isolated as individual compounds (2b,c and 3b,c). X-ray diffraction study of 1-(chlorodimethylstannylmethyl)-2-piperidone (3b) confirmed (3 + 2)-coordination state of the tin atom and axial positions of oxygen and halogen atoms. The experimental and quantum-chemically calculated structural parameters are discussed in comparison with those of related trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) silicon, germanium and tin derivatives. Calculation at the MP2/LanL2DZ/D95 level reveals that the stability of the (O-M)chelates increases in the following order: (O-Si) < (O-Ge) < (O-Sn).
