Ligandless Palladium-Catalyzed Direct C-5 Arylation of Azoles Promoted by Benzoic Acid in Anisole

The palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of azoles with (hetero)aryl halides is nowadays one of the most versatile and efficient procedures for the selective synthesis of heterobiaryls. Although this procedure is, due to its characteristics, also of great interest in the industrial field, the wide use of a reaction medium such as DMF or DMA, two polar aprotic solvents coded as dangerous according to environmental, health, safety (EHS) parameters, strongly limits its actual use. In contrast, the use of aromatic solvents as the reaction medium for direct arylations, although some of them show good EHS values, is poorly reported, probably due to their low solvent power against reagents and their potential involvement in undesired side reactions. In this paper we report an unprecedented selective C-5 arylation procedure involving anisole as an EHS green reaction solvent. In addition, the beneficial role of benzoic acid as an additive was also highlighted, a role that had never been previously described.     

Azoles and azines

The dipole moments of 2-aryl-4-chloro-6-oxo-1,3-thiazines and 2-aryl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6-oxo-1,3-thiazines (Ar=C₆H₅, C₆H₅Cl-p, C₆H₅CH₃-p) were determined experimentally in benzene and calculated by the additive scheme with the vector method, as well as by the PPDP/2 method. Comparison of the data obtained with the calculated data showed that the formyl group is taken out of the plane of the thiazine ring.For Communication 64, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 272–275, February, 1988.     

Studies on Fused Azoles: Synthesis of Several Polyfunctionally Substituted Fused Azoles

The synthesis of several new polyfunctionally substituted fused pyrazoles via reaction of 5‐amino‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazole‐4‐carboxylate ( 2 ) with different reagents is described.     

Synthesis of Polynuclear Nonfused Azoles

Polynuclear blocks consisting of nonfused heterocycles of the azole series, connected through methylene bridges, were synthesized by successive addition of azole units via cycloaddition of organic azides to the triple bond of N-(2-propynyl)azoles, as well as via reaction of azide ion at the cyano group of cyanomethylazoles. Initial N-(2-propynyl)azoles were prepared by reaction of 2-propynyl bromide with 1,2,3-triazoles, benzotriazole, and tetrazoles; cyanomethylazoles were obtained by alkylation of azoles with chloroacetonitrile. An analogous scheme was used to add heterocyclic units to 2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitrile. In this case, the first two heterocyclic units are linked through the ring carbon atom.     

Diazocarbonyl and Related Compounds in the Synthesis of Azoles

Diazocarbonyl compounds have found numerous applications in many areas of chemistry. Among the most developed fields of diazo chemistry is the preparation of azoles from diazo compounds. This approach represents a useful alternative to more conventional methods of the synthesis of azoles. A comprehensive review on the preparation of various azoles (oxazoles, thiazoles, imidazoles, pyrazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles) from diazocarbonyl and related compounds is presented for the first time along with discussion of advantages and disadvantages of «diazo» approaches to azoles.

Homocoupling Reactions of Azoles and Their Applications in Coordination Chemistry

Pyrazole, a member of the structural class of azoles, exhibits molecular properties of interest in pharmaceuticals and materials chemistry, owing to the two adjacent nitrogen atoms in the five-membered ring system. The weakly basic nitrogen atoms of deprotonated pyrazoles have been applied in coordination chemistry, particularly to access coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks, and homocoupling reactions can in principle provide facile access to bipyrazole ligands. In this context, we summarize recent advances in homocoupling reactions of pyrazoles and other types of azoles (imidazoles, triazoles and tetrazoles) to highlight the utility of homocoupling reactions in synthesizing symmetric bi-heteroaryl systems compared with traditional synthesis. Metal-free reactions and transition-metal catalyzed homocoupling reactions are discussed with reaction mechanisms in detail.     

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Certain Fused Azoles and Oxazinones

2‐Phenyl‐4‐benzylidene‐5(4H)‐oxazolones ( 1a‐e) were used as versatile starting materials for the synthesis of fused compounds such as: 4H‐3,1‐benoxazin‐4‐ones (2a,b), imidazo[4,3‐b]benzimidazoles (3,4), imidazo[1,5‐b]1,2,4‐triazoles (5a,b), and 7 .     

Comparative Characteristics of Some Physicochemical Properties of Azoles

We have carried out a correlation analysis of some physicochemical characteristics of pyrrole, pyrazole, imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole, calculated by the semiempirical quantum-chemical AM1 method. We have found the linear dependences of the ionization potential, the dipole moment, and the acidity on the -electron excess, and also the dependence of the ionization potential on the enthalpy of formation of the studied azoles.     

15N-NMR Spectra of Azoles with Two Heteroatoms

The ¹⁵N-NMR spectra of azoles, with natural isotope abundance, have been measured under different experimental conditions, and chemical shifts are reported for imidazoles, pyrazoles, oxazoles, isoxazoles, thiazoles, and isothiazoles. General trends of substituent effects in this heterocyclic series are discussed based on the data of 67 substituted azoles, dihydro- and tetrahydroazoles. ¹⁵N, ¹H spin-coupling constants have been determined from spectra obtained by [¹H] → ¹⁵N polarizationtransfer experiments, i.e. an application of INEPT and DEPT pulse sequences. Two-bond and three-bond coupling constants are fully assigned and are discussed in terms of the specific pathways in azoles. The potential of structural applications of the new data is illustrated for isomeric nitro-imidazoles and highly-substituted pyrazoles, and in the case of ring-chain tautomerism of 2-substituted tetrahydrooxazoles.     

Azoles as Reactive Nucleophiles with Cyclic Perfluoroalkenes

Di‐ and multiazole‐substituted fluorocyclic products ( 2 – 13 ) were readily synthesized in good to high yields. These were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reactions of perfluorocycloalkenes with azoles (i.e., imidazole, triazole) involving simple reaction procedures. Interestingly, these azoles were later found to be reactive not only with the vinylic, but also with the allylic fluorine atoms. This resulted in the substitution of up to six azoles on the fluorinated rings. Stoichiometry plays a key role in determining the degree of substitution. For comparison, the analogous reactions of N‐substituted 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐imidazole and 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole were also investigated. All of the new compounds were fully characterized by elemental, spectral (¹⁹F, ¹H, ¹³C NMR), and thermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses.     

Novel Reaction of Some Azoles with Dimethyl Sulfoxid

The compounds 4a～4j were prepared by 3a～3j which were prepared from 1a～1j through 2a～2j. The compounds 6a～6j were prepared by the reaction of the products of 4a～4j with dimethyl sulfoxid via Dimroth rearrangement.[1] The compounds ethyl 5-arylamino-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-carbonates (5a～5d) and ethyl 2-methylthiamethylene-5-arylamino-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-carbonates (6a～6j) are established by MS, IR, elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectral data. The route of syntheses is shown in Scheme 1.

N-Isopropenylazoles: I. Direct N-Isopropenylation of Azoles with Propyne and Allene

A number of previously unknown N-isopropenyl-substituted pyrroles, indoles, and di- and -triazoles were synthesized in 20-86% yield by reaction of the corresponding azole with an equilibrium mixture of propyne with allene or pure propyne and allene in the system KOH-DMSO (105-145°C, 5-15 h, atmospheric or elevated pressure). The reaction is regioselective. The electronic and steric structure and the degree of conjugation between the exocyclic double bond and the azole ring are discussed on the basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. Almost complete absence of p- conjugation in ,'-disubstituted N-isopropenylazoles have been found.

The following azoles systems have been studied: 2-substituted pyrroles, 2-substituted indoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-substituted benzimidazoles, 4(5)-substituted imidazoles, 3(5)-substituted pyrazoles, 3-substituted indazoles (1H and 2H), 3,4(5)-substituted-1,2,3(5)-triazoles, 2,3(5)-substituted-1,2(3),4-triazoles, 4(5)-1,2,3,4(5)-tetrazoles. In the case of pyrazole, 3,5-disubstituted derivatives have also been computed, including four dimers.Dedicated to our friend Professor Vladimir I. Minkin on his 70th anniversary.
