Weak intermolecular interactions in isomorphous 5‐(2‐chloroethoxy)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzodioxine and 5‐(2‐bromoethoxy)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzodioxine: bonding or nonbonding interactions

The title compounds, C₁₀H₁₁ClO₃, (I), and C₁₀H₁₁BrO₃, (II), are isomorphous and effectively isostructural; all of the interatomic distances and angles are normal. The structures exhibit long intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π contacts with attractive energies ranging from 1.17 to 2.30 kJ mol⁻¹. Weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds form C(3) and C(4) motifs, combining to form a two‐dimensional R₃⁴(12) net. No face‐to‐face stacking interactions are observed.     

Synthesis of 5,6‐dihydro‐2‐trifluoromethyl‐1,4‐dioxin‐3‐carboxanilides through polymer‐bound activated ester: Construction of dihydro‐1,4‐dioxin

A new construction of dihydro‐1,4‐dioxin and a synthesis of 5,6‐dihydro‐2‐trifluoromethyl‐1,4‐dioxin‐3‐carboxanilides 22 through polymer‐bound activated ester are described. An intermediate β‐hydroxy ether 18 was prepared from the substitution reaction of α‐thio‐α‐chloro compound 8 with ethylene glycol followed by treatment with Raney Ni. Replacement of hydroxy by chlorine and then dehydrochlorination afforded trifluoromethyl dihydro‐1,4‐dioxin ester 15. The polymer‐bound trifluoromethyl dihydro‐1,4‐dioxin‐3‐carboxylic acid, 4‐hydroxy‐3‐nitrobenzophenone ester ( 21 ) was prepared through the reaction of polystyrene‐bound 4‐hydroxy‐3‐nitrobenzophenone ( 19 ) with the trifluoromethyl dihydro‐1,4‐dioxin‐3‐carbonyl chloride ( 20 ). Refluxing of 21 with substituted aniline in acetonitrile gave the corresponding carboxanilide 22. The reaction rate depended on the nucleophilicity of nitrogen of the aniline.     

NMR spectroscopic characterization of new 2,3‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances of twenty‐seven 2,2‐dimethyl‐5‐(2‐nitrophenyl‐5‐substituted)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles, and twenty‐seven 3‐acyl‐5‐(2‐amino‐5‐substituted)‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles were assigned completely using the concerted application of one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMQC and HMBC). NOESY experiments, X‐ray crystallography and conformational analysis confirm the preferred conformation of these compounds. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation of new 2‐amino‐ and 2,3‐diamino‐pyridine trifluoroacetyl enamine derivatives and their application to the synthesis of trifluoromethyl‐containing 3H‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4] diazepinols

The synthesis of a novel series of the intermediates N²(N³)‐[1‐alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)‐3‐oxo‐4,4,4‐trifluoroalk‐1‐en‐1‐yl]‐2‐aminopyridines [F₃CC(O)CH?CR¹(2? NH?C₅H₃N)] and 2,3‐diaminopyridines [F₃CC(O)CH?CR¹(2‐NH₂‐3‐NH? C₅H₃N)], where R¹ = H, Me, C₆H₅, 4‐FC₆H₄, 4‐CIC₆H₄, 4‐BrC₆H₄, 4‐CH₃C₆H₄, 4‐OCH₃C₆H₄, 4,4′‐biphenyl, 1‐naphthyl, 2‐thienyl, 2‐furyl, is reported. The corresponding series of 2‐aryl(heteroaryl)‐4‐trifluoromethyl‐3H‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]diazepin‐4‐ols obtained from intramolecular cyclization reaction of the respective trifluoroacetyl enamines or from the direct cyclocondensation reaction of 4‐methoxy‐1,1,1‐trifluoroalk‐3‐en‐2‐ones with 2,3‐diaminopyridine, under mild conditions, is also reported.     

An easy route to 2‐substituted‐2,3‐dihydro‐5(7)H‐oxazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐5‐ones and 7‐ones starting from the corresponding 2‐amino‐2‐oxazolines

The isomeric 2‐substituted‐7(5)‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐5(7)H‐oxazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐5‐ones 3a‐b and 7‐ones 2a‐b,7a were synthesized by cyclocondensation from the 5‐substituted‐2‐amino‐2‐oxazolines 1a‐b with biselectrophiles. In boiling ethanol, the reaction of 1a‐b with acetylenic esters led to a mixture of 2a‐b,7a with a small amount of (E)‐2‐N‐(2‐ethoxycarbonylethylene)‐5‐substituted‐2‐iminooxazolines 5a‐b . The ring annulation between 1a‐b and diketene gave the 2‐substituted‐7‐hydroxy‐7‐methyl‐2,3,6,7‐tetrahydro‐5H‐oxazolo[3,2‐ a ]pyrimidin‐5‐ones 4a‐b which can be easily dehydrated to provide the 2‐substituted‐7‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐5H‐oxazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐5‐ones 3a‐b .     

Synthesis and antimicrobialactivity of 2‐alkylcarbamato‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propylthio‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphole 2‐oxides

Novel 2‐alkylcarbamato/thiocarbama‐to‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propylthio‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphos‐phole 2‐oxides ( 4a–J ) were synthesized by cyclization of 4‐propylthio‐1,2‐phenylenediamine ( 3 ) with the corresponding dichlorophosphoryl carbamates/thiocarbamates ( 2a–J ) that were obtained by the addition of alcohols/thiols to isocyanatophosphoryl dichloride ( 1 ). The structures of the title compounds were confirmed by the ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, and mass spectral studies. Some of these products were found to possess significant antimicrobial activity. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 11:336–340, 2000     

Unexpected Ring Enlargement of 2‐Hydrazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazoles to 1,3,4‐Thiadiazines

The cyclization of thiosemicarbazide with α‐bromoacetophenone can result in the formation of isomeric 1,3,4‐thiadiazines and two different thiazoles. We studied the use of 4‐methyl‐ and 4‐ethylthiosemicarbazide as dinucleophilic building blocks. In this context, we observed an unprecedented rearrangement of a 2‐hydrazono‐2,3‐dihydrothiazole to a 1,3,4‐thiadiazine. While ring contractions of 1,3,4‐thiadiazines to thiazoles are quite common, ring enlargements are new. The course of the reaction depends on the substitution pattern of the substrate.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 2‐substituted‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propoxy‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphole 2‐Oxides

Several 2‐alkylcarbamato/thiocarbamato/aryloxy/trichloromethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propoxy‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphole 2‐oxides ( 4 and 6 ) were synthesised by reacting 4‐propoxy‐o‐phenylenediamine ( 1 ) with various N‐dichlorophosphinyl carbamates ( 3 ), aryl phosphorodichloridates ( 5a‐f ) and trichloromethyl phosphonic dichloride ( 5g ) in the presence of triethylamine at 45‐65 °C. Their ir, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P nmr and mass spectral data are discussed. The compounds were screened for antifungal activity against Curvularia lunata and Aspergillus niger and for antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Most of these compounds exhibited moderate activity in the assays.     

Synthesis of 2‐substituted‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐benzoyl‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphole 2‐oxides/sulfides

Syntheses of 2‐aryloxy/2‐chloro ethoxy‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐benzoyl‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiaza‐phosphole 2‐oxides 3a–h were accomplished by reactions of equimolar quantities of 3,4‐diaminobenzophenone ( 1 ) with various aryl/chloroethoxy phosphorodichloridates 2a–g and 2h in the presence of triethylamine at 50–60°C. Compounds 3i–k were prepared by reacting 3,4‐diaminobenzophenone ( 1 ) with aryl thiophosphorodichloridates 2i–k under similar conditions. They were characterized by IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectral data. Some of these products possessed siginificant antimicrobial activity © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sodium 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

The title compound, Na⁺·C₉H₇N₄O₅S⁻·2H₂O, presents a Z configuration around the imine C=N bond and an E configuration around the C(O)NH₂ group, stabilized by two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The packing is governed by ionic inter­actions between the Na⁺ cation and the surrounding O atoms. The ionic unit, Na⁺ and 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate, forms layers extending in the bc plane. The layers are connected by hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecules.     

5‐Bromo‐2,3‐dihydro‐4‐methyl‐3‐nitrothiophene 1,1‐dioxide

The title compound, C₅H₆BrNO₄S, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c. Three weak C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds dominate the packing of the mol­ecules in the solid. These weak hydrogen bonds and a short intermolecular O⃛Br contact of 3.003 (2) Å are discussed using a Mulliken population analysis.     

Facile synthesis of model 1,4‐dihydro‐1H‐1,3,4‐benzotriazepin‐5‐ones

2‐Aminobenzoic acid reacts readily, in the presence of triethylamine, with hydrazonoyl chlorides ( 5a‐c ) (precursors of the reactive nitrile imine 1,3‐dipolar species) to afford high yields of the corresponding acyclic amidrazone adducts ( 6a‐c ). The latter adducts undergo, in THF in presence of 1,1‐carbonyldiimida‐zole, smooth intramolecular cyclization involving the activated carboxyl and the NH‐ termini to deliver unequivocally the respective dihydro‐1,3,4‐benzotriazepin‐5‐ones ( 7a‐c ).     

Chain composition dependence of luminescence properties for copolymers of 2‐methoxy‐5‐2′‐ethyl‐hexyloxy‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene and 2,3‐diphenyl‐5‐octyl‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene

The copolymers of 2‐methoxy‐5‐2′‐ethyl‐hexyloxy‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene (MEH‐PV) and 2,3‐diphenyl‐5‐octyl‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene were prepared via the Gilch route with their chain compositions and the reactivity ratios of the monomers estimated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The results indicated that the copolymers tended to form an alternative copolymer as the feed ratio of the monomers closed to one‐half. When an individual copolymer solution in tetrahydrofuran was spun‐cast to form a film, the MEH‐PV units were able to attract the like units from the adjacent chains. As a result, the ultraviolet–visible absorption spectrum of the alternative copolymer in film form was broader than the spectra of those with different compositions. The photoluminescence spectra of the copolymers in film form exhibited the characteristic shoulder of poly(2‐methoxy‐5‐2′‐ethyl‐hexyloxy‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene), even though the content of MEH‐PV units was not great enough for the formation of repeat units in sequence. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Syntheses of 2,4‐diaryl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepines

The condensation of α,β‐unsaturated ketones with substituted o‐aminothiophenols, obtained by reductive cleavage of the corresponding disulfides in the presence of triphenylphosphine, is an effective method for the synthesis of 2,4‐diaryl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepines under neutral conditions.
