Synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1-amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones (or 1-aminocyanurates) by cyclic transformation of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives

The 5-aryl(or methyl)-3-phenylcarbamoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones 2 , in the presence of sodium hydride in anhydrous dimethylformamide, were transformed into 1-benzamido(or acetamido)-3,5-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione derivatives 7 in poor yields. However, compounds 7 were obtained in better yields when the sodium salts of 5-aryl(or methyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones 1 were treated with two equivalents of aryl(or ethyl)isocyanates. Acidic hydrolysis of 1-acetamido-3,5-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione ( 7i ) provided the corresponding free N-amino derivative 9 . Nitrous deamination of 9 gave the known 3,5-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione ( 11 ). This cyclic transformation is the first one to be reported providing 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione derivatives.

The chiral synthons 1(a–d) were submitted to boron-mediated asymmetric aldol condensation with acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde providing, in high diastereomeric excess (>95%), R,R-configured aldols 2(a–f) which are useful intermediates to enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy-α-amino acids.     

The influence of ultrasonic irradiation on catalytic performance of ZnO nanoparticles toward the synthesis of chiral 1-substituted-1H-tetrazolederivatives from α-amino acid ethyl esters

In this work, a simple and greener protocol for the synthesis of 1-substituted 1H-tetrazole derived from α-amino acid ethyl esters was demonstrated in the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) under conventional conditions, with heating (at 60 and 80°C and under reflux) compared with ultrasonic. The effect of solvent was investigated to reveal that the solvent system CH₃CN/H₂O was optimum to obtain 1-substituted 1H-tetrazole in high yield. In addition, the effect of irradiation power was studied, which showed that the yield of the reaction was improved at 200 W and the reaction time was shortened to be 30 min. Also, an improvement in the rate of the reaction and the yield of the products was observed when reactions were carried out under sonication conditions in the presence of ZnO NPs compared with conventional methods using various zinc salts as catalysts. The yields of tetrazole compounds 2a–i under sonication were determined (88–96%). Furthermore, the investigated heterogeneous catalytic system was recycled and reused for five runs with significant production of tetrazole 2a as a model target compound in excellent yields at each reaction cycle. In general, the investigated synthetic strategy for the heterocyclization of α-amino acid ethyl ester derivatives to 1-substituted 1H-tetrazoles was in agreement with the green chemistry point of view.     

The Reactions of 6-(tert-Butyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one with Carbonyl Compounds

The reaction of 6-(tert-butyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one with acetone and benzaldehyde yields the corresponding hydrazones. In the presence of thionyl chloride the benzaldehyde hydrazone is converted to 3-(tert-butyl)-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazin-2(1H)-one and this can also be formed via the acylation of the starting hydrazinotriazinone using benzoyl chloride.     

Structure and properties of 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-phenyl-5-arylformazans

A series of 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-phenyl-5-arylformazans, which form deeply colored complexes with Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, and Ni²⁺ salts, were obtained by coupling of arenediazonium salts, containing various substituants in the phenyl ring, with benzaldehyde 2-pyridylhydrazone. The presence of a nitro group causes deepening of the color and leads to the appearance of negative solvatochromism.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1379–1381, October, 1972.     

Mono-N-amino salt of benzodiazines and naphthyridines

The mono-N-amino salts of 3-phenylcinnoline, phthalazine, 1-phenylphthalazine, 4-phenylquinazoline, 2-phenylquinoxaline, 1,5- and 1,8-naphthyridines are in high yields prepared by direct N-amination of the parent heterocycles with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine. With the one expection of 3-phenylcinnoline, the site of N-amination was determined by mass and nmr spectral techniques. The results indicate that the N-amination occurs preferentially at the least sterically hindered nitrogen atom.     

4-Acetyl-1-(R-benzylidene)-3-(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thiosemicarbazides — Carriers of synthones for obtaining thiazole and triazole rings

The corresponding thiosemicarbazonium salts, which form 4-acetyl- and 2,4-di-acetyl-1-benzylidene-3-(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thiosemicarbazides with acetic anhydride, were obtained by the reaction of 5-nitrofurfuryl bromide with 1-benzyl-idenethiosemicarbazides. Under the influence of bases the monoacetylated derivatives undergo cyclization to the corresponding 2-benzylidenehydrazino-5-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazoles. Intramolecular cyclization of the monoacetylated products to 3-methyl-5-[(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thio]-1,2,4-triazole, which is accompanied by the elimination of the corresponding benzaldehyde, occurs in the presence of hydrochloric acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 699–704, May, 1988.

Catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to (hetero)aromatic aldehydes

The asymmetric alkylation with diethylzinc of five heterocyclic aldehydes and benzaldehyde (for comparison) has been studied in the presence of two optically active amino alcohols: (S)-2-amino-1-butanol (AB) and (1S,2R)-N,N-dibutylnorephedrine (DBNE). A number of chiral (hetero)aromatic secondary alcohols were synthesized in high yields (95–98%) with enantioselectivity up to 92% enantiomeric excess (ee) in the presence of DBNE catalyst. Optically active thienyl and 4-pyridyl derivatives were prepared for the first time by catalytic asymmetric alkylation. The influence of the amount of DBNE on the enantioselectivity was investigated. In contrast to benzaldehyde, 2-furan- and 2-thiophene-carbaldehydes, in the case of 3- and 4-pyridinecarbaldehydes the ee values depend directly on the catalyst concentration. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

ω-Bromoalkapolyenylmethyl ketones—I : Reaction of 5-bromo-3-penten-2-one with triphenylphosphine

The reaction of (E)-5-bromo-3-penten-2-one with triphenylphosphine affords a 3:1 mixture of two protomeric phosphonium salts 4-oxo 2 pentenyltriphenylphosphonium bromide and 4-oxo-1-pentenyltriphenyl-phosphonium bromide, characterized by the ¹³C NMR spectrum of the mixture. However, the common phosphorane of these salts gives two condensation products with benzaldehyde, corresponding to α- and γ-condensation respectively.     

Synthesis of Spiroheterocyclic Systems from Barbituric Acids and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>-Disubstituted <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-Aminobenzaldehydes

Reactions of barbituric, 1,3-dimethylbarbituric, and 2-thiobarbituric acids with 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde, its 6- and 7-membered homologs, and 4-phenylpiperazine and morpholine analogs lead to formation of fused systems with a spirocyclic 2,4,6-trioxopyrimidine fragment. The process involves intermediate formation of labile 5-arylmethylidenebarbituric acids which exhibit t-amino effect and undergo spontaneous isomerization to give the final products. The observed spirocyclizations are characterized by an anomalously high rate.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 920–925.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Krasnov, Kartsev.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes of a New Vic-Dioxime Ligand

In this study, 1,2-dihydroxyimino-3,7-di-aza-9,10-O-α-methyl benzal decane (LH₂) was synthesized starting from 1,2-O-α-methyl benzal-4-aza-7-amino heptane (RNH₂) and antichloroglyoxime. With this ligand, complexes were synthesized using Ni(II) and Cu(II) salts with a metal:ligand ratio of 1:2. However, the reaction of the ligand with salts of Zn(II) and Cd(II) gave products with metal:ligand ratio of 1:1. Structures of the ligand and its complexes are proposed based on elemental analyses, IR, ¹³C- and ¹H-NMR spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).     

Intramolecular iminium ene reaction with Cu(I) catalysts: facile formation of 4-amino-3-methylenechromans from O-propargyl salicylaldehydes and dialkylamines

Reaction of O-propargyl salicylaldehyde and related compounds with dialkylamines in the presence of copper(I) iodide gave 4-(alkylamino)-3-methylenechroman derivatives in good yields through the loss of one alkyl group of the dialkylamine. The reaction also worked well by employing 2-amino benzaldehyde derivatives to afford 4-(alkylamino)-3-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines. A deuterium-labeling experiment suggested that the α-hydrogen of the dialkylamine was transferred intramolecularly into the terminal methylene. This result indicated the reaction mechanism, which involved the formation of iminium ion between the aldehyde and the dialkylamine followed by ene-type C-C bond formation with inverse electron demand and hydrolysis.     

N,O-Acetals from Pivalaldehyde and Amino Acids for the α-Alkylation with Self-Reproduction of the Center of Chirality. Enolates of 3-Benzoyl-2-(tert-butyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-5-ones

The sodium salts of (S)-alanine, (S)-phenylalanine, (S)-valine, and (S)-methionine are condensed with pivalaldehyde to imines 5 . Cyclization by treatment with benzoyl chloride in cold CH₂Cl₂ gives mainly (4:1 to > 99:1) the (2S,4S)-4-alkyl-3-benzoyl-2-(tert-butyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-5-ones ( 6 ; cis-configuration) in high yields (85–95%). The oxazolidinones 6 and 7 are deprotonated with lithium diethylamide (LDEA) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and alkylated (Mel, benzyl bromide) or hydroxyalkylated (benzaldehyde) to 4,4-disubstituted oxazolidinones 9 and 10 , respectively, with high diastereoselectivity (9:1 to 50:1; relative topicity ul). Hydrolysis of three of the oxazolidinones to amino acids of known configuration and optical purity indicates that little if any racemization occurs in the process.
