A simple synthesis of 4‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐1H‐benzo[g]indoles

The reaction of methyl 2‐(3‐chloro‐1,4‐dioxo‐1,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2‐yl)propenoate ( 2a ) with primary amines gave 4‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxycarbonyl‐1H‐benzo[g]indoles 5a‐f as major compounds and 3‐methoxycarbonyl‐4,9‐dioxo‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐benzo[f]indoles 6a‐d as minor ones. Whereas the reaction of 3‐(3‐chloro‐1,4‐dioxo‐1,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2‐yl)‐3‐buten‐2‐one ( 2b ) with primary amines afforded the corresponding 1H‐benzo[g]indoles 5g‐i as major products and 3‐acetyl‐4,9‐dihydro‐4,9‐dioxo‐1H‐benzo[f]indoles 7g, h as minor products.     

Synthesis of novel 5‐aryl‐1H‐tetrazoles

In this study phenylselenocyanate and some of its derivatives (o‐Cl, p‐Cl, p‐Br, o‐NO₂, p‐NO₂, o‐CH₃, p‐CH₃, o‐COOH, p‐COOH, p‐OCH₃ substituted) were synthesized ( 3a–3j ). The synthesized compounds were converted to 5‐aryl‐1H‐tetrazole ( 4a–4j ), by Et₃N ċ HCl‐NaN₃ in toluene, which are a new series of phenylselanyl‐1H‐tetrazoles. The structure of all the presently synthesized compounds were confirmed using spectroscopic methods (FTIR, ¹H NMR, MS). © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Previously unknown azomethylene derivatives of 4‐chloro‐5H‐1,2,3‐dithiazole 5–7 were synthesized by the reaction of the Appel salt 1 with N‐monosubstituted hydrazones 2–4. It was shown that they could be transformed into heterocyclic compounds 8–10.     

Polymorphism in 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one

A new polymorph (denoted polymorph II) of 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one, C₁₁H₈O₄, was obtained unexpectedly during an attempt to recrystallize the compound from salt–melted ice, and the structure is compared with that of the original polymorph (denoted polymorph I) [Lyssenko & Antipin (2001). Russ. Chem. Bull. 50 , 418–431]. Strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed equally in the two polymorphs [O...O = 2.4263 (13) Å in polymorph II and 2.442 (1) Å in polymorph I], with a slight delocalization of the hydroxy H atom towards the ketonic O atom in polymorph II [H...O = 1.32 (2) Å in polymorph II and 1.45 (3) Å in polymorph I]. In both crystal structures, the packing of the molecules is dominated and stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Additional π–π stacking interactions between the keto–enol hydrogen‐bonded rings stabilize polymorph I [the centres are separated by 3.28 (1) Å], while polymorph II is stabilized by interactions between α‐pyrone rings, which are parallel to one another and separated by 3.670 (5) Å.

The reactions of 1‐formyl‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulene ( 1 ) with acetophenones 3a‐e gave 1‐(3‐aryl‐3‐oxopropenyl)‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulenes 4a‐e which reacted with malononitrile in the presence of sodium methoxide to afford 1‐(2‐aryl‐4‐pyridyl)‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulenes 9a‐d , except for 4′‐nitro‐substituted compounds. Heating of the compounds 9a‐d in 100% phosphoric acid yielded 1‐(2‐aryl‐4‐pyridyl)azulenes 10a‐d . In a similar manner, 1‐(4‐aryl‐2‐pyridyl)azulenes 12a‐1 and 1‐[4‐(2‐furyl)‐ and 4‐(2‐thienyl)‐2‐pyridyl)]azulenes 14a,b were obtained.

One‐Pot Synthesis of 4‐(2,3‐Dihydro‐2‐hydroxy‐1,3‐dioxo‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl)‐Substituted 1‐Aryl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylates via a Tandem Three‐Component Reaction

The hitherto unreported, highly functionalized 1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylates 3 have been synthesized in good yields via a one‐pot three‐component domino reaction of phenylhydrazines, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and ninhydrin under mild conditions for the first time. No co‐catalyst or activator is required for this multicomponent reaction, and the reaction is, from an experimental point of view, simple to perform (Scheme 1). The structures of compounds 3 were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization/addition reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).

Isomeric 3‐ and 4‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline

The title isomers, namely 3‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline, (I), and 4‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline, (II), both C₁₂H₁₁ClN₂, differ in the position of the chlorine substitution. Both compounds have the basic iminopyrrole structure, which shows a planar backbone with similar features. The dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings is 75.65 (7)° for (I) and 86.56 (8)° for (II). The H atom bound to the pyrrole N atom is positionally disordered and partial protonation occurs at the imino N atom in (I), while this phenomenon is absent from the structure of (II). Packing interactions for both compounds include intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, forming centrosymmetric dimers for both (I) and (II).
