Reaction of arylenedioxytrihalophosphoranes with acetylenes 12. Alkylacetylenes in the reaction with 2,2,2-trihalobenzo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholes

A reaction of 2,2,2-trihalobenzo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholes with terminal alkylacetylenes proceeds under mild conditions (～20 °C) and leads to the formation of 4-alkylbenzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphinine 2-oxide derivatives. The presence of aliphatic substituents in acetylene decreases (as compared to their aromatic counterparts described earlier) regioselectivity of halogenation of benzo fragment in 4-alkylbenzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphinines: besides predominant 4-alkyl-2,6-dihalobenzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphinines, minor 2,7- and 2,8-dihalo-substituted 4-alkylbenzo[e]-1,2-oxaphosphinines are formed.

The acylation of 1,2-bis[3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzylideneamino]ethane with acid chlorides in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine leads to 1,3-diacyl-2-[3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]imidazolidine.     

Kinetics of heat-induced and photochemical transformations of quinonimines and their derivatives

Heat-induced transformations of N-[2,6-diisopropylphenyl]-3,5-di(tert-butyl)-, N-[2,6-diethylphenyl]-3,5-di(tert-butyl)-, and N-[2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl]-3,5-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinonimines in nonane follow the first-order rate equation, whereas that of N-[2,5-di(tert-butyl)phenyl]-3,5-di(tert-butyl-o-benzoquinonimine obey the second-order rate equation. Kinetic parameters of these reactions have been determined. 4aH-Phenoxazine derivatives of quinonimines are intermediates of the heat-induced transformations following the first-order kinetics; under the irradiation with 405 nm light they undergo the ring opening to give the starting compounds with quantum yield close to unity.

One ‐ pot synthesis of novel sulfur and selenium heterocycles by directed ortho‐lithiation

A procedure for the synthesis of benzo[e][1,3]thiazine‐2,4‐diones from benzamides by directed lithiation and sequential treatment with sulfur and phosgene is reported. Use of thiophosgene afforded 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐benzo[e][1,3] thiazin‐4‐ones. Application of this methodology to benzenesulfonamides afforded the previously unknown 1,1‐dioxo‐1,2‐dihydro‐1,4‐dithia‐2‐aza‐naphthalen‐3‐one ring system with phosgene and the 1,2‐dioxo‐2‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydrobenzo[e][1,4,2]dithiazine‐3‐one ring system with thiophosgene. Use of selenium in place of sulfur afforded the novel analogous selenium heterocycles, however in the case of benzamides the use of selenium and phosgene afforded benzo[d]isoselenazol‐3‐ones unexpectedly.

2,2,2-Trichloro-5-chlorocarbonylbenzo[d]-1,3,2-dioxaphosphole was prepared for the first time by the reaction of protocatechuic acid with phosphorus pentachloride or trichloride followed by chlorination.

New method for the synthesis of β-tropolones: Structures of condensation products of o-quinones with 2-methylquinolines and the mechanism of their formation

A new method was developed for the synthesis of functionalized β-tropolones based on acid-catalyzed condensation of 2-methylquinoline derivatives with 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone and 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-3-nitro-1,2-benzoquinone (14). The mechanism of the multistep reaction giving rise to β-tropolones and their tautomerism were studied by quantum chemical methods (DFT B3LYP/6-31G**). The reaction of 2-methylquinoline derivatives containing the tertiary amino group at position 4 with quinone 14 is accompanied by the formation of derivatives of a new heterocyclic system, viz., 4,6-dioxo-2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,7-diene N-oxide. The molecular and crystal structures of two 5,7-di(tert-butyl)-3-hydroxy-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropolones and two dioxoazabicyclooctadiene N-oxides, as well as of the preparatively isolated intermediate of the first condensation step and of the by-product of the reaction were established by X-ray diffraction.

Polycyclic N-hetero compounds. XXXV. Syntheses and anti-platelet aggregation activity of 5,6-Dihydro-4H-benzo[3,4]cyclohept[1,2-e]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines with an oxygen function at the 1-position

Various 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d][pyrimidines bearing amino acid group at the 4-position of the skeleton were synthesized by the reaction of 4-chloro-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d]-pyrimidine with some amino acid, which were cyclized to 5,6-dihydro-4H-benzo[3,4]cyclohept[1,2-e]imidazo-[1,2-c]pyrimidines, corresponding to B-homo-11,13,15-triazasteroids. Their inhibitory activities against platelet aggregation induced by collagen were also investigated.     

Synthesis of new halo-substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

Ethyl 3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-7-X-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylates (X = H, Cl, Br) were synthesized for the first time by diazotization of 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4oxo-8-ethoxycarbonyl-6H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines with tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of trimethylsilyl halides. A new method was developed: a reaction between 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-6H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylic acid and I₂/TEA followed by treatment with NaBH₄ led to a mild decarboxylation. The acid reacts with N-halosuccinimides to give novel 8-halo-substituted derivatives. The amino groups of the latter were acylated by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride to give monoacylation products.
